NEWSCIENCENEWSCIENCENEWSCIENCE Basic Design of the Crystal Unit his model is a first attempt to describe the feasible schematic design of the Reid unit. This model appealed to us, in view of the available know-how in the fields of semiconductor physics, piezoelectrics and the "new field of vacuum energy physics". supporting effect on the n- metal transition remains to be seen. The current flow may be caused by two different phenomena: ¢ first, through known thermal processes in semiconductors and piezoelectric crystals; consequently, the crystal units must become colder when under load, and environmental heat is then the source of energy; ¢ second, possibly through vacuum fluctuations due to the Casimir effect, which excites the compressed piezoelectric crystal to vibrate. The piezoelectric crystal should be able to produce current through the permanent mechanical deformation. Refer to the Feynman ratchet principle. The source of energy in this case is the inexhaustible active vacuum. Editor's note: German engineer and free- energy researcher Eckhard Kantz posted the following on his website in April 2006. confirm that I have received and thoroughly investigated to the best of my knowledge some multiple battery-like devices that deliver a continuous energy output without any energy input which would be visible to my (current) measurement equipment. The devices were provided by Marcus Reid, the developer and manufacturer of these units. I am an engineer of energy devices and had the pleasure to take over the task and responsibility for conducting all kinds of experiments on the received crystal units since August 2005 when I met Marcus Reid the first time. During the last months I have tested, with the help of others (I would like to thank them for their support), multiple crystal units—developed and manufactured by Marcus Reid—at the Institute of Research for Vacuum Energy, with the objective being to find out which energy these battery-like devices could be powered by. The tests have been fully documented on a German website, Das Geheimnis des Kristallaggregates (see website http://www.wegalink.de/energy) and included in particular: * investigations with a gamma spectrometer « thermo-energetic exchange * magnetic response * load tests * high-frequency noise * possible relationship to solar bursts. In no case was there any hint that the crystal unit would receive input energy from any known energy source like energetic particles, magnetic energy or heat energy. All investigations on electromagnetic waves and temperature were done with extreme effort and as thoroughly as possible. During the last months, the source of energy which powers the crystal units was at the centre of investigation. Up to now, it has not been possible to find a known input energy form. It is now the objective to develop and confirm more and more powerful devices. Therefore the investigations will focus on all kinds of relationships that will provide us with some better insight into the technology.
