.does he demonstrate this in a controlled environment
for credible qualified scientists?
Or is it just people that believe stuff when they are told.

obviously banks would not invest into something that is fringe science.
as for private investors well there have been countless investment schemes into all sorts of "very promising devices" so i would keep away from those and many potential investors with a brain do so too.
in fact if you don't have an engineering degree and some papers published on the subject in peer reviewed journals you should not expect anything from anyone because you're not qualified!
but you can hope to get some govt money from prez O.'s alternative energy funding if you start up a company and provide some workable projects.
Let us cut through the scientific errors in how electrical power systems are presently viewed: Batteries and generators themselves do not power circuits. They never have, and they never will. They dissipate their available internal energy [[53]] to do one thing and one thing only: forcibly separate their own internal charges to form a "source dipole" [[54]]. Once the dipole has been formed, the dipole directly extracts electromagnetic energy from the active vacuum [[55]], pouring the extracted EM energy out from the terminals of the battery or generator.
Batteries and generators make a dipole, nothing else. All the fuel every burned, the nuclear fuel rods ever consumed, and chemical energy ever expended by batteries, did nothing but make dipoles. None of all that destructive activity, of itself, ever added a single watt to the power line.
Once made, the dipole then extracts EM energy from the seething vacuum, and pours it out down the circuit and through all surrounding space around the circuit [56]. A little bit of that energy flow strikes the circuit and enters it by being deflected (diverged) into the wires [57]. That tiny bit of intercepted energy flow that is diverged into the circuit, then powers the circuit (its loads and losses) [58].
All the rest of that huge energy flow around the circuit just roars on off into deep space and is wasted.

and then of course there's the ever present "i had the perpetuum mobile running but the govt took it and i lost the schematics" excuse. really? how can you forget how you built the most revolutionary device in the history of humanity?
my opinion is that any energy harvesting device (please stop calling them free energy!) has to be simple. look at the steam engine/generator, the electrical engine, any turbine, even a nuclear reactor (the experimental ones not the industrial ones) or solar cell.
if it's overly complicated or expensive to build a small demo device then it means it's a scam.
if after the device is built it's very complicated to get it audited independently, then it's a scam.
heck even a 4th grader can build a small electric generator that lights a small bulb or LED powered by a water turbine with minimal adult supervision!
Schlichting (1991) provided a striking example of how students do not see what actually is to be seen but what their conceptions allow them to see, so to speak. He presented the experimental setup shown in Figure 6 to a grade 10 class and asked where the thin wire starts glowing when the circuit is closed. There were three different predictions. (1) The wire will glow first at the left or the right side depending of the assumption of direction of current flow taken as current enters the wire there. (2) The wire will glow up First in the middle as two kinds of current (see above) will come together in the middle. (3) The wire will simultaneously glow up at all places (the correct view). After the prediction the experiment was carried out. Almost everybody saw what he or she expected.

it's neither the banks nor the government or some shadow organization that keeps alternative energy from developing. it's just that nobody really got any of those devices to work and then replicate it independently in different labs.

And Apparently you are freaking out for no good reason... I said skip that link if you can't get over that they are trying to make some money with the technology. Watch the other ones. You want more? Newtons 'laws'?:

I do not think you have any clue about the scientific method or even what a "controlled environment" is.
It is nice that you have your links and names to drop but the only reason that you believe zero point energy is impossible, but this kind of explains exactly why.
As far as why it is impossible? Nothing can be created or destroyed, only transformed.
So either you are doing work to make energy or it is not doing anything. Stop trying to sell Youtube and crappy little books.
You know what peer reviewed means dont you? You do not know controlled environment, so I have my doubts.
If there is any confusion, let me know where I lost you. I would be happy to clarify.

You know, I understand all the concerns that you've been bringing up.
But I believe it's like dooper says. John Bedini for example has demonstrated his prototypes, in a "controlled" fashion, to plenty of "credible scientists". But many of them will still say "well this just can't be", even when they see it working for themselves.

Well at least i will give you the benefit and presume that you actually know what it means. My point was not that such conditions can not be created but to suggest that this is a easy and ridiculous way way to disqualify every experiment that suggests that isn't presumed possible. It's much like the belief in god where the goal posts are always moved with those moving it in control of the 'standards' of proof.
You might want to retype that paragraph as it makes no sense. The reason i believe isn't so much because there isn't anything in science that suggests otherwise but because i have looked at enough well understood theory to see that large source of energy are simply written out of the standard equations for the sake of, originally, simplicity and then maintained to deceive.
Who said anything was created or destroyed? Do you destroy the climate when you erect wind turbines? Do we cool the sun when we use solar cells? Do we slow down ocean currents or rivers when we build hydro plants? Why do people such as yourself wrongly presume anything is created or destroyed and then blame people who believe as i do for your misunderstanding/misrepresentation?
Beardens book was actually free; all nearly 1000 pages of it. Did you know that the Chinese people who popularized snake oil were in fact not lying as the snake used back in China could in fact alleviate much of claimed pains and ailments? Why presume that the snake oil doesn't work because your not informed enough to know which snake species we are discussing?
Peer review is a process by which people who are trained at the same schools and institutions, from the same text books and by the same teachers keep each other from proving the text books, teachers and institutions wrong. The only reason why we have any progress at all is because text books don't last ( and are changed in reprints, sometimes to reflect the ideas of the newest consensus amongst the teachers), teachers die, and institutions change as their books and teachers do.
We most certainly don't have change because the system was set up to encourage it. Since i don't want to look like a complete fanatic i will admit that it has been and certainly could be far worse.
I am sure you will try and perhaps you might even find yourself learning a thing or two; you wont be the first.

I have seen footage of Bedini demonstrating his machines to scientists and engineers - you know, the "Energy From The Vacuum" series that you probably haven't even watched
