Some things I'm going to say:
1. I don't believe in Free Energy. From a physics standpoint, there is NO SUCH THING as free energy. Energy systems are closed. Matter systems are
closed. You cannot create nor destroy energy or matter - simply convert them into other forms.
Well i am glad your willing to state that you do not 'believe' in free energy as that's all it really is.

The only closed system we may be able
to still prove is the universe itself but i think the jury is still out on that one. The claim that devices on your table can not extract energy from
'somewhere' is thus completely invalidated as the only truly closed we can prove at this stage is completely theoretical.
There is actually a very funny referance. Compare the idea of Energy to a game. Here's the rules:
Seen these before and their pretty good.
1. You MUST play the game (everything that exists has energy in some form or another).
No issue with this rule i have.
2. You can never win the game (you can never reach above 100% efficiency - since energy cannot be created)
What does 100% efficiency mean if no system is in fact ever closed to energy transfer with the active vacuum as we know happens? If we can in fact
preserve all the energy the system contains currently but keep feeding in more we will have a interesting situation. There is models that proves there
is nothing invalid about this so a system can in fact operate with more than 100% efficiency.
3. Hell, you can't even break even (you can never reach 100% - some energy is always lost)
Only if your design allows for energy loss which it really does not have to. These very same scientist are so easily convinced to believe in closed
systems but it seems that only suits them when it comes to COP > 1 systems;they apparently have no objections when it comes to energy losses. Is that
strange or not?
4. You can't quit the game, except on a very cold day (you can never reduce energy to 0, except at Absolute Zero)
I don't see how you can ever reduce energy to zero as the action itself-, i'm too ignorant to currently go there.
5. It never gets that cold (the moment you try to do something to something at Absolute Zero, you introduce energy, and it's no longer
Absolute Zero)
True for this case as well.
There will always be a by-product to any energy we create.
Why and what logic leads you to this conclusion?
Hydrogen Fuel cells combine Oxygen and Hydrogen. The outcome is water and energy. That's great, and we all love water. But that also means we
have to produce Hydrogen (whilst it does make almost all of the visible universe, it's so light that it doesn't like being on earth very long) -
which, tada, costs energy... more energy than we get out of the Hydrogen Fuel cell.
Well then that is clearly a bad way to proceed so why are we talking about it? Isn't it like debating how we can genetically engineer
dinosaurs/whatevers so that we can have more oil a few million years?
The goal is to make the conversion rate of Water into Hydrogen and Oxygen, and then back from Hydrogen and Oxygen back into Water again, as
close to 100% efficiency as we can, so that we're wasting very little energy.
Since we have better ideas i think we can keep that one on ice.
So now, Telsa's use of the earth's magnetic field as a power source. What will this do to the earth's magnetic field? Will it weaken it?
What kind of by-product, except energy, is there? How do we do it exactly? What's the best way to do it? None of these have been answered.
Tesla were speculating about the energy source as he was apparently ( from looking at what little we can find) not 100% sure what powered his devices.
All he was sure of is that there was no apparent cost involved and that humanity could employ it ( as he did) without much any observable side
effects. Since we now know that the energy actually comes from the vacuum particle flux we know that he had it right all along.
So yes, we may be able to reach something close to 100% efficiency on energy, but we'll never get there, and there'll always be a byproduct
of some kind, even if it's miniscule.
Why should a machine that does nothing but 'gate' energy from the vacuum suffer losses anyways? Since we did not have to 'produce' any of the
energy we are tapping into losses are not that big a deal imo and we can in fact prove that as all our energy already comes from that very source. We
'waste' energy not in the losses from tapping the vacuum with dipoles but in the manner in which we create and try preserve those dipoles.
Even Wind power has a byproduct - that being that there's less wind. Sure it's not much of a byproduct, but we're reducing the energy in the
wind, and changing it into electricity.
I am glad you bring this up as wind power are in effect 'free' considering it's furnished mostly by the Sun. What is the problem with 'free'
energy in this form and just erecting a machine that taps it from another source? What's the big hangup?
Finally, corporations are not "evil". Governments are not "evil". They're doing what they do. The problem is that at the points where
they're inefficient, they do things in a manner that is evil.
Corporations and government is all about control ( called profit by most) and since control is never a great thing when your the one it's aimed it (
your opinion/assumptions/perspective) all profit is in fact 'bad' for someone or something. When the Dow Jones/NYMEX/DAQ goes up it's in fact ,
funnily, proof that we have less and less control over our world and they ever more. The richer they get the more it says about how much control they
have over their surroundings.
Corporations, and governments, are not seeking world domination - it's just that the goal of a company is to grow, since growth equals profit,
and profit equals good.
Profit = control and control is something that you always want more of. Globalisation is the expression of that aim and we should take them at their
word when they say they stand for a new world order ( singular).
As said earlier, when an oil company backs out of a subsidy for some brand new technology, it's not because they're trying to stop it from
usurping their company (since they'd get profits from the technology as part of the agreement for subsidising it) -
Control is control and don't confuse the pure profit notion with it. The moment there is alternatives they have more defenses to man to control you
so they will kill choices as far as they can manage it.
but because they're making a business move because the technology doesn't seem to be going anywhere. The money they've invested would be
BETTER spent elsewhere to make more money sooner AND later.
It's not about making money if you lose control in the long run. Profit in terms of money is useless if you are giving up any control over the means
of future profit/control with it.
Governments try to get people behind them so that the party remains in power. If the party remains in power, then the senators/MPs/whatever
also remain in power, which means they get paid, which means they can continue living the good life.
Business funds whoever gets into government and then the government changes policy to be more business friendly and so forth. A few generations of
that and you have a system where people want ( well they have been convinced to think they do) what big business and governments wants anyways.
Remember this about ALL corporations and ALL governments; they are badly chopped up bodies, running around without a real head, rapidly losing
blood.
Don't confuse the perpetual power struggles of individuals in various countries and business with each other with the notion that they are not in
fact first and foremost fighting against the individuality that endangers all their control mechanisms. You will notice that big business and
government keep growing with time ( the welfare state) so how can it be argued that they are not successful and wrestling control of our lives from
us?
Everyone's working in their own worlds, and no one really has ANY clue what is really going on.
Then look around you and observe or multinational and government influence grows everywhere in the world around you. Tell me that you really believe
that is all a accident of some nature and that there is not a deliberate policy ( no one says they agree on everything - we have world wars after all-
but they are surely spending most of their energy against us) to build empires and take control on a global scale. They might very well kill each
other in the process but we the people always seem to lose more in the process.
" Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to accidental opinion of the day; but a Series of oppressions, begun at a distinguished period, and pursued
unalterably through every change of ministers (administrations) plainly PROVES a deliberate, systematic plan of reducing us to slavery. "
