Using heat as an energy source to generate electricity quietly seems like a more natural type of power system. The iconic inventor Nikola Tesla patented an unusual machine to do that, and once declared it to be his favorite invention. However, Tesla’s era lacked the strong materials we now have for super-high speed rotation of… Continue reading Nikola Tesla’s Fave Machine Puts Out Real Power

Rachel Carson’s Legacy
You may be surprised at what the Rachel Carsons of our world can teach us. Although the late Rachel Carson (1907–1964) is not around to comment on today’s crises, she and her successors still help. Carson was a biologist who revered the myriad expressions of life in the natural world. She informed a global public… Continue reading Rachel Carson’s Legacy
Tom Beardon Was a Survivor
What life experiences shaped the late Thomas Bearden’s larger-than-life persistence and courage? The earliest influence was “hard times.” For the rest of his life, no matter how heavy the ridicule and the “perpetual motion crackpot” name-calling he had to endure, and how exhausting the effort to change entrenched ideas, it couldn’t be more difficult than… Continue reading Tom Beardon Was a Survivor
Honoring Tom Beardon
Three brave pioneers of frontier science left us permanently in the past month. Most recent was Nobel prize winning virologist Luc Montagnier, preceded by Stanford University engineering professor emeritus / consciousness researcher William A. Tiller, and electrical engineer Thomas E. Bearden. I wrote about each of them, in different issues of Atlantis Rising magazine. Tom… Continue reading Honoring Tom Beardon
Inventors Learn Together
The iconic inventor John Bedini pointed the way to self-recharging motors and his followers learned the concepts and continue the progress. Mike C., shown in this photo, and his partner Norm S. were busy preparing another demonstration for the 2021 Energy Science and Technology Conference in Hayden, Idaho, on July 7-11. I interviewed Mike Clarke… Continue reading Inventors Learn Together
Energia Universal
The Spanish-language version of Hidden Energy is now listed with online distributors of books. https://books2read.com/Euniversal is the “Universal Book Link” that takes you to a variety of distributors including Amazon’s Kindle, Kobo, Apple, etc. This project has been a team effort. John Coelho has been pushing for a Spanish edition of a breakthrough-energy book ever… Continue reading Energia Universal
Joan Cerio Interviews
Joan Cerio’s new series Envisioning a New Earth is now on YouTube. The first show was uploaded this weekend and I had the privilege of being her guest. Even if I hadn’t had that connection, I’d subscribe to her channel as a delightful learning opportunity. The plan was that I’d present some slides on the… Continue reading Joan Cerio Interviews
Ether Flows
I enjoyed a phone call with Dan Spatucci, an author in Florida. As the blurb for his new book Ether Flows says, his search for answers was inspired by a mysterious newscast he witnessed decades ago. He had been playing guitar at 2 or 3 am and caught a late newscast on TV. It featured… Continue reading Ether Flows
Paul LaViolette Sheds Light on Pais Patent
Making Sense of the Universe is the title of the chapter in our book Hidden Energy featuring Paul LaViolette, Ph.D. On Saturday, March 6, 2021, he made sense of certain paradigm-busting patents as well as his own theory. His talk for the Antigravity Propulsion Engineering Conference (APEC) covered “The Pais Navy Gravity Engineering Patents.” APEC… Continue reading Paul LaViolette Sheds Light on Pais Patent
Tiny Step Toward New Energy Source
Frontier scientists write papers explaining that they aren’t violating any fundamental law of thermodynamics if they tap into a previously-unrecognized source of energy such as “the zero point quantum fluctuations of space.” This winter, Professor Garret Moddel and his lab team at the University of Colorado at Boulder proved it’s possible to extract energy from… Continue reading Tiny Step Toward New Energy Source
