These pages discuss my theory, designs and experiments for converting vacuum energy into electrical energy. The main approach here is to create charged particles out of the vacuum, short or long lived particles. Some energy would be required for the creation but much of it would come from the energy of the vacuum. The result would be voltage and current that cost less than the power that was supplied by the device. Note that this is an open systems approach. No energy creation is expected to happen. This is simply a conversion of energy from one form to another.

The basic hope is that by providing an electric field and a magnetic field of suitable geometries, and fluctuating them in the correct manner, particles will be created. Appropriate hardware will need to be in place to capture and use those particles. The purpose of the electric field is to shape the vacuum and the purpose of the magnetic field is to supply the initial spin for the particle.

Design ideas

Given that there is no mathematical model in use here, design is guided by the above mentioned principles alone. As such, many variations need be tried. Click here for a page going over various design ideas.

Experiments

Quick tests before confirming the presence of a magnetic field (Feb 02/2009): Tests done as soon as the individual components were completed and assembled.
