Well, conventional batteries are built to store or return electrical energy, either by pushing a current against its voltage (much like pushing
against a spring) or allowing the battery's own voltage to push against some other load. How come these guys found a new kind of energy that
batteries not previously designed to handle are now seemingly capable of transforming?
It would then appear that their vacuum energy converting batteries are the secret magic ingredient in their system wouldn't you think?

rickyrrr, you have been raising a lot of excellent and important questions and I appreciate that. But it is a bit frustrating because Bearden and
Bedini have already explained all of these things, much better than I ever could, since I am not mechanically-inclined myself. I strongly encourage
you to watch EFTV 1 and 2, all of your questions and issues are addressed in those videos I assure you!
You said it yourself - these guys have found a "new" type of energy, that works differently than "normal" electricity and requires different
designs and circuits. As Phage said, it is non-entropic. But as far as I know, the batteries are nothing special - any standard battery will do.
I am willing to have another look at EFTV 1 and 2... (I assume those are videos???)
Last time I saw a demonstration of a bedini motor, I was disappointed to see that the way they measure output power is by dimly powering a 60 Watt
lightbulb and claiming that therefore those must be 60 watts.
I saw another bedini motor demonstration in which one battery is used to recharge another battery, and it is assumed but not proven that the charge
attained is complete (the don't repeat the experiment 10 times and chart the run times of the motor for each time)
Remember that just because a light bulb is rated at 60 watts that does not necessarily mean it is consuming 60 watts at any given time, it depends on
the voltage applied to the lightbulb (and as a result the current consumed)
I think that it is past due that somebody comes up with a definitive *test* that a prospective free energy device can be submitted, much like the
"Turing" test would determine that a computer is intelligent enough to fool a person reading its output into thinking it is another person.
A test so memorable that not only the engineers recognize it, but the layman knows to demand, and that inventors of these devices are ready to
demonstrate.
A test where the device is
1. enclosed in a Faraday cage
2. device weight is disclosed and measured
3. device output power is disclosed and measured by simultaneously measuring output current and voltage
4. The device is operated continuously for enough time that its achieved output energy is greater than the energy contained in an equivalent (by
weight) amount of say, gasoline, converted to electricity at 30% efficiency... in other words, let's make sure they are not just running a very
lightweight generator.
I am an exceedingly intelligent person. And I don't just say this, I have constructed from scratch battery chargers, DC-DC converters, microphone
preamplifiers, devices with serial data interfaces on them, devices that process accelerometer data, I have built infrared remote controls from
scratch, and I drive around town on an electric bicycle that I built. And I can equally rebuild my car's suspension, refinish a kitchen table and
even have done my car's alignment just using regular tools (no laser, just measuring tape)
So, I can read instructions and even physics papers and get a little bit out of understanding them. But I have never been able to read an explanation
for a free energy device and managed to understand it. it's as if suddenly I am very stupid, or maybe the way that those things are explained is just
circular and convoluted, so that the reader looses interest and simply concludes they must know what they're talking about.
For example: let's break down the following sentences:
"The flaws are obvious and present a picture of dynamic 'controls' upon the populations of planet Earth. Energy is ubiquitous and free for the
'extraction.' All that is needed are the right tools and the right delivery. This can be accomplished immediately, but what is necessary is the will
to do so, and a clear understanding of the MODEL presented. Tesla's 'wheelworks of nature' are still 'moving' waiting patiently for us to harness
them. He showed us how to accomplish this a long time ago. We need to correct our flawed 'models,' so that we may properly 'view' this basic
reality of 'natures laws.' Then we may truly be free to further ourselves and save our planet and its indigenous population."
That is from
www.zpenergy.com...
As you can see, it is a very difficult read. but I will summarize it here for you:
"The flaws are obvious and present a picture of dynamic 'controls' upon the populations of planet Earth."
Translation: we had flaws in our understanding. Somehow the population of earth are involved in how this machine works...
"Energy is ubiquitous and free for the 'extraction.' All that is needed are the right tools and the right delivery. All that is needed are the
right tools and the right delivery."
Translation: Three statements that are undeniably true but contains no new information. In other words get the reader in an agreeable state of
mind.
"This can be accomplished immediately, but what is necessary is the will to do so, and a clear understanding of the MODEL presented."
Translation: Extracting energy is possible if we want to: another undeniably obviously true statement.... the next part of the sentence puts
perconditions on energy extration: A clear understanding, something that you are guaranteed to NEVER get from reading this style of writing.
If anyone can take any given paragraph from that webpage and summarize it to a single meaningful set of concepts, I would be very appreciative.
