Perpetual Motion! Electrical Power from Nothing!, page 1

I think this is a load of BS. Vacuum Energy is the new Dark Matter... which is itself just the new "Silver Tablet (cures everything!)".

Vacuum Energy, in the true sense of the word, is the overall repulsive force of a vacuum. It doesn't come into effect at the size of a box... doesn't even come into effect at the size of galaxies... or even clusters or superclusters of galaxies. It come into effect for the space inbetween them.

This is "Dark Energy" because, since it's so small, it's undectable.

I think even Dark Energy is wrong - I don't think the theories on that are even right - and that the case of "missing energy" is actually either something else, or is (more likely) a problem of the maths people are using and forgetting to take the differences in time in such large areas into account (time doesn't "progress" the same at all points in the universe, depending on how close you are to sources of mass... huge empty areas of space will actually expand faster than filled areas of space because the universe is expanding naturally, but the filled areas will expand slower because time is moving slower... which gives the illusion that the empty areas are expanding faster... and as the expansion progresses, the dialations will only increase, giving the illusion of an accelerating expansion).

Now, back to Vacuum Energy, people are using it in all their far-fetched theories, because it's a theory that no one really knows anything about, and so any BS they toss at people is pretty much readily accepted.

Infinite, and free, energy does NOT exist in nature. There are ways of changing energy from one type into another, but energy is always lost as heat, kinetics, sound, or something - and the source of the energy will always be diminished.

Here's a few tips to remember the game of Thermodynamics:
1. You have to play the game (every action has energy)
2. However, you can't win at the game (every action has an equal and opposite reaction, so you never get "more" energy on one side than the other)
3. Heck, you can't even break even - except on a very cold day (every time an action is performed, some energy is lost to an outside source, such as heat - the exception is at absolute zero, where the mass has no energy to lose, and so nothing would be lost to an outside source)
4. But it never gets that cold. (remember, every action has energy - and so no actions can happen at absolute zero without something giving them energy to do that action)
