Hopefully at this point in time people can stop thinking that there is no such thing as free energy. They will understand that the meaning of the term is that fuel does not have to be burned to get energy if one can discover how to tap the zero-point energy in a device.
Having the public educated about that will help because that has been one of the stumbling blocks.edit on 11/07/13 by Mary Rose because: Punctuation

Actually, wetter water is quite useful.
Everyday, millions of £/$ etc are spent on making water 'wetter'..using detergents and soaps.

How is the lowest energetic state a means of using energy?

How is the lowest energetic state a means of using energy?
It's not.
But people have not been aware that the energy in question is real and there waiting to be tapped by smart people. No laws of physics would be violated by power that does not burn fuel.

How do you tap the lowest sum of energy?

Oh - you don't like the term zero-point energy now?
Hmmm. Before, you seemed very insulted about who should be given credit for coining the term.

. . . and only wish to defend the position of being interested in what they discover in new energy innovations.
ABSTRACT
The hypothesis for tapping the zero-point energy (ZPE) arises by combining the theories of the ZPE with the theories of system self-organization. The vacuum polarization of atomic nuclei might allow their synchronous motion to activate a ZPE coherence.
Experimentally observed plasma ion-acoustic anomalies as well as inventions utilizing cycloid ion motions may offer supporting evidence. The suggested experiment of rapidly circulating a charged plasma in a vortex ring might induce a sufficient zero-point energy interaction to manifest a gravitational anomaly. An invention utilizing abrupt E field rotation to create virtual charge exhibits excessive energy output.
INTRODUCTION
Today's physics might allow the possibility of tapping virtually limitless quantities of energy directly from the fabric of space.
Such a surprising conjecture arises by merging two separate theoretical areas of modern physics:
1) The theories of the zero-point energy (1-5) (ZPE) that model the vacuum as containing real, energetic fluctuations of electric field energy, and 2) the theories of system self-organization (6-13) which not only open the possibility of inducing coherence in this energy, but also provide the underlying principles on how this could be achieved (10). . . .

No need to be mean, Boncho.
I already stated I didn't know the science and math involved, and only wish to defend the position of being interested in what they discover in new energy innovations.

To introduce this newer technology would eliminate current energies and businesses. Like oil, furnaces would have to be altered, perhaps even the whole infrastructure. This would displace a lot of jobs, devalue a lit of stock... so on and so forth. It disrupts the status quo.
At that point they will reveal the new technologies that they too will have a monopoly on ... but I don't think it will happen a second sooner.
It's sort of like what the tree guy did who supplied newspaper with pulp to make paper. Back in the early 1900's he set about a campaign with the newspaper he supplied to bury production of hemp. They were his biggest competitor in making paper. He set about it by villifying the crop - touching upon people's emotions by focusing on it's effect recreationally and advocated complete prohibition.
How marijuana was prohibited
Twentieth-century cannabis prohibition first reared its head in countries where white minorities ruled black majorities: South Africa, where it's known as dagga, banned it in 1911, and Jamaica, then a British colony, outlawed ganja in 1913. They were followed by Canada, Britain and New Zealand, which added cannabis to their lists of illegal narcotics in the 1920s. Canada's pot law was enacted in 1923, several years before there were any reports of people actually smoking it there. It was largely the brainchild of Emily F. Murphy, a feminist but racist judge who wrote anti-Asian, anti-marijuana rants under the pseudonym "Janey Canuck."
Meanwhile, DuPont in 1937 had just patented nylon and "a new sulfate/sulfite process for making paper from wood pulp"
n the United States, marijuana prohibition began partly as a throw-in on laws restricting opiates and coc aine to prescription-only use, and partly in Southern and Western states and cities where blacks and Mexican immigrants were smoking it. Missouri outlawed opium and hashish dens in 1889, but did not actually prohibit cannabis until 1935. Massachusetts began restricting cannabis in its 1911 pharmacy law, and three other New England states followed in the next seven years.
2) Presidents Washington and Jefferson both grew hemp. Americans were legally bound to grow hemp during the Colonial Era and Early Republic. The federal government subsidized hemp during the Second World War and U.S. farmers grew about a million acres of hemp as part of that program.

SPAIN has never prohibited hemp, produces rope and textiles, and exports hemp pulp for paper. The Spanish word for hemp is "cañamo."
JIN JILING, China — In silent, temperature-controlled labs in a desolate part of Hainan, China's most tropical province, rows of women in medical masks and lab coats clone trees that grow freakishly fast.
The trees have official names, such as APP-22 or DH32-29, but Wending Huang, Asia Pulp & Paper Co.'s chief forester in China, calls them his "Yao Mings" after the towering Chinese basketball star. The tiny green tissue samples, methodically implanted in petri jars, will become hardwood eucalyptus trees that need only four to six years to reach full height, up to 90 feet or more.
CHINA is the largest exporter of hemp textiles. The fabrics are of excellent quality. Medium density fiber board is also now available. The Chinese word for hemp is "ma."

The world-leading producer of hemp is China
Each year, Huang's labs clone 190 million ready-to-plant "cutlings," which APP grows on 790,000 acres of managed timberland spread over eight Chinese provinces. The company cultivates fiber-rich hardwood as intensively as U.S. agribusinesses grow gene-optimized corn and wheat.

So deforestation continues to this day and we still use trees, instead of a contiously renewing crop with a much higher return and yield rate. All because of greed.
Deforestation[edit]
Main article: Deforestation
Worldwide consumption of paper has risen by 400% in the past 40 years, with 35% of harvested trees being used for paper manufacture.
Logging of old growth forests accounts for less than 10% of wood pulp,
[7] but is one of the most controversial issues. Plantation forest, from where the majority of wood for pulping is obtained, is generally a monoculture and this raises concerns over the ecological effects of the practice.
Deforestation is often seen as a problem in developing countries but also occurs in the developed world. Woodchipping to produce paper pulp is a contentious environmental issue in Australia.[8] In the 1990s, the New Zealand government stopped the export of woodchips from native forests after campaigning by environmentalists.[9]
but because the crop threatened his tree business as it was a cheap are more economic way to make paper they wanted a ban

Detractors of the annual agricultural production of hemp fiber are just as vocal against growing hemp fiber. They contend that hemp farming is very demanding on the environment and would negate any possible benefits ascribed to it. Hemp fiber would be cost prohibitive when compared to silvicultural production of wood fiber.
Any annual crop demands a period of establishment and reestablishment, during which the site has to be intensely cultivated and treated for weeds and pests. This has to be repeated until the crop is properly established and done on an annual basis for crops like flax, wheat, cotton, or hemp. Most tree species, even if grown on a fast rotation, would mean less site disturbance and have much less need for chemicals; Trees are more forgiving of site preparation, chemical support, and revisits after planting.
To not think oil companies do the same to technology that threatens it's own market - I can't believe it.
Big Oil hasn’t just hit a dead-end on alternative energy. For years, the energy giants have struggled to replace oil and gas reserves. In effect, they are moving a step closer to liquidating themselves with every barrel of oil they produce. Exxon’s purchase of XTO Energy was designed to reverse that trend, but as an investment, it’s been a disappointment so far. For more than a decade, Exxon has been buying back its own stock, an admission that it believes shareholders can get a better return putting their money somewhere else. Few seem to be plowing that cash into green energy companies.
If wind or solar were inherently profitable, big oil companies would have invested more heavily.
(EROI) also known as ERoEI (Energy Returned on Energy Invested), is a common way of expressing the efficiency of the energy production process. The EROI for oil and gas, as well as other fossil fuels, has been falling for decades (see chart below). If it was a financial stock, you would have sold it years ago. - See more at: 8020vision.com...
So all of that in a nutshell - I'm an entertainer of the theory that utilization and action in creating a new energy infrastructure is blocked. Buried. Suppressed. In the interest of the established market and system.
