-------~ ~. Z EXPERIMENTS ON FREE ErN£RCY-PART 1 © Harold Aspden, 1993 This anicle is extracted from an open let ter written to Donald A. Kelly of the Space Energy Association, PO Box 11422, Clearwater, Horida 346116, USA, for inclu sion in the Association's quarterly Space Energy Newsletter. Dear Don, 30 October 1993 I believe your readers will be interested in the foHowing report of three experiments which form my starting pQint for onward developments. As you know from our meeting at the Denver, Colorado event in April, I claim an unders~anding of the ferromagnetic processes by which we can up energy from the vacuum state. At the Colorado meeting I spoke on two themes: (a} the possibility of building a paneM in which internal heat transfer by radiation through successive layers of microscopic optical concentrators could develop a tem· perawre differential across the panel, and (b) the scientific basis for my case that a switched reluctance motoI can deliver more power output than is needed as power input. Furthermore, at the mD'untain retreat where we had a private brainstorming ses sion involving many of the speakers, I mentioned the thermoelectri.c project in I EN which I was ,involved and showed a video demonstrating the quite remarkable speed at which icc can fOffil with very linle e'1ec tric power input, and how electricity is regenerated with high efficiency drawing on the energy of melting ice. That Colorado meeting was a landmark event in the history of new energy develop ments as it marks ,the beginning of an esca lalion which will 'lead to a bonanza OJ} the energy front My object is to demonstrate the scientific basis and technical feasibility of three 'free energy' projccts. I direct my comments at those who profess to pass on knowledge to future generations. I am not here going to explain how what is described! can be implemented in a practical machine. That will follow later when I progress to that stage. I know what I say has a practical end product because my sole objective is to bridge a knowledge gap to cover the true science lying in that zone between ortho dox doctFinaire belief and the working 'free energy'machine. The three target objectives for my three basic experiments are: (I) The curious fact that our tlIermoelec tric refrigeration device is built with an inherent functional symmetry and yet it always cools on its exposed test heat sink surface, it being noted 'that the electrical operating unit is mounted on the same panel that constitutes the second heat sink surface. The latter gets hot as the former cools, but, unless Scott Strachan builds a .--------./ ~--~ (~) s=s ~ .11,~ ••V,-:..", ~1/ .."

(2) The source of the over-unity ~power action of the Adams motor and any such .reluctance-type motor which claims more than 100% perfonnance. The physics rea son was explained by me at the Denver meeting, but there is need for others to be shown how this is so experimentally. (3) The many claims of free energy gen eration by solid-state magnetic devices of historical record, focusing however on the research of Hans Coler, because this was eonfrrmed indepen.dently by specialist gov ernment investigators. I shall now outline the three experiments that I have performed, each having separate bearing on one of these topics. THERMOELECTRIC HEAT PUMP EXPERIMENT The idea that one can bui'ld a power transformer which draws in heat and so cools a housing in which it is enclosed, and at the same time converts that rejected bellt into electricity fed along wires leading from that housing, is one that seems' beyond belief. It defies the second law of thermodynamics, Ibut that should not deter a pioneer who has i.n his possession the device men~ioned in (1) above. The object of the experiment is to test a suspicion that current circulation within a bimetallic lamination can, under certain circumstances, result i.n cooling for current flow across the thickness of the lamination. lIhe experiment acknowledges t.hat such cooling would produce an EMf and put electrical power into increasing the current flow in the plane of the lamination, unless deflected from the ]amination, transverse to its width. This means extra heating and anomalous loss augmenting the eddy-cur rent loss, but such an anomaly is direct evi dence of Ithat undedying cooling and elec trical generation. The prototype devices in (l) all used thin film bimetallic layers of aluminium and nickel and involved that transverse fdefl~ tion,'. The 'circumstances' stated are that the Ilamination includes a ferromagnetic FEBRUARY -MARCH 1994
