A method and apparatus for extracting bidirectional EM wave energy from the vacuum through the scalar potential gradient across the terminals of an electrical source, collecting the excess energy in a collector without entropy, then separately discharging the collected energy through a load to perform work, without sending the load current back through the primary source against its potential gradient; i.e., against its back emf. Removing the load current from the source thereby substantially reduces the production of work inside the source to dissipate its bipolarity; said internal dissipative work being well-known to be the cause of exhaustion of the source’s ability to continue to furnish emf to the external circuit. By reduction of its internal dissipation, the source is enabled to furnish more energy for dissipation in the external load than is utilized to dissipate the source internally. Hence the source is enabled to operate with an overunity operational efficiency. The system permissibly operates as an “open” system, and extracts and utilizes excess EM energy from a free-flowing external source (the flux exchange between the surrounding vacuum and the bipolarity of the source), hence it can operate at an efficiency greater than unity without violation of the laws of physics, in a manner analogous to but entirely different from a heat pump. In this invention, it is not the purpose of the primary source to furnish current and dissipative power to the external circuit. The bipolarity of the source is utilized primarily as a dipole antenna to receive the bidirectional EM wave energy flow from the vacuum, and direct it without entropy through a switching unit to the collector. Conduction electrons in the collector are temporarily restrained while being overpotentialized by the excess energy being collected upon them. The collector and its overpotentialized electrons are then switched away from the primary source, and connected across the load as a separate circuit and closed current loop. The electrons in the collector and their excess energy are then automatically released to flow as current discharge through the load, releasing their excess energy to perform useful work in the load. The collector is then switched away from the load and back across the primary source, and another collection cycle is initiated. Iteration of the collection and discharge cycles provides power to the load. Additional collection and smoothing capacitances for smoothing the iterations and furnishing steady power to the load may be added as desired. The invention violates the closed circuit practice of powering loads, but does not violate the conservation of energy law, the second law of thermodynamics, or any of the other known laws of physics.

Bah, I built one of those when I was 10. It doesn’t work. The hard part is convincing the hamster that you can get something from nothing.

Very good. Now, where can we go to see the working model?

Who left the door to the cellar unlocked?

Hiyruu has escaped, & is on the loose again! :eek:

Somebody call the zoo. Maybe they’ve got a tranq rifle they can loan us!

well, if you don’t mind a mess, i still have some thermite, chlorine gas capsules, and magnesium bombs if you are interested.

90% percent of the quote in the OP makes no sense to me. (IANA Physicist, so I’ll resist saying that it does not make any sense at all.)
A few points I picked out:

  • open system
  • antenna and EM radiation
  • does not violate second law of thermodynamics

So, I wonder if this is just a matter of using an antenna to collect stray EM radiation and using it to charge a battery or capacitor? I clicked the link - more technobabble plus the statement “All electrical power sources are already free energy receiving antennas.” And since closed electrical circuits are always inefficient, we should just connect one side of the battery…

I’m pretty sure that if you try to operate, say, a flashlight by just hooking up just one terminal of the battery, it wouldn’t work very well.

Hiyruu, what’s your take on this? You only posted the link. Do you think it’ll work? Do you understand it and can you explain it to me?

My guess is that the inventor was just trying to write a paper that sounded impressive enough to attract sucke… uh, investors.

Come on, deconstructive analysis is fun.

Dear Inventor having reviewed your latest offering I would offer the following commentary on the free energy device you have proposed.

A method and apparatus for extracting bidirectional EM wave energy from the vacuum.

Ok it’s going to collect electromagnetic radiation (primarily radio, gamma, and light waves) from a vacuum. Presumably this is inter-planetary space or some other vacuum currently exposed to this form of radiation.

through the scalar potential gradient across the terminals of an electrical source

Ok, the primary equipment is a battery?

then separately discharging the collected energy through a load to perform work,

Yep, we will extract the collected energy

without sending the load current back through the primary source against its potential gradient; i.e., against its back emf.

The battery will be in an open circuit.

Removing the load current from the source thereby substantially reduces the production of work inside the source to dissipate its bipolarity; said internal dissipative work being well-known to be the cause of exhaustion of the source’s ability to continue to furnish emf to the external circuit.

Because we have a battery (without a circuit) the work being done to reduce the bi-polarity is reduced (to zero as no work is going on). But if there were some work being done it would be subject to the 2nd law of thermodynamics.

By reduction of its internal dissipation, the source is enabled to furnish more energy for dissipation in the external load than is utilized to dissipate the source internally. Hence the source is enabled to operate with an overunity operational efficiency.

No work is being done by the source (just to avoid nitpicking the EM is in fact losing energy in the form of particle interaction and will eventually run out of energy but this is a rather minor draw on its potential); therefore its potential remains undiminished. This however is equal rather than greater than the zero energy utilised to dissipate the source internally. Thus no additional inefficiency will be introduced into the system.

At this point we have a battery in a vacuum not doing anything. Most of the rest of the presented material is unfortunately based on the misapprehension that this is will create an excess of energy where as it mealy breaks even (give or take the entropy inherent in the electromagnetic radiation).

I would however like to point out the following further issues with the ensuing statements.

The bipolarity of the source is utilized primarily as a dipole antenna to receive the bidirectional EM wave energy flow from the vacuum, and direct it without entropy through a switching unit to the collector.

Using a battery as an antenna for electromagnetic radiation is not going to be particularly effective might I suggest that a radio tuned to an appropriate frequency, as possible enhancement to the system. I would also be most interested in the details of your switching unit for transferring the energy without an increase in entropy.

The invention violates the closed circuit practice of powering loads, but does not violate the conservation of energy law, the second law of thermodynamics, or any of the other known laws of physics.

The invention does nothing so no laws are violated. It however doe not produce any energy either. Once you overcome this problem, I would be most interested in hearing from you again

Opps I appera to have confuced your ‘source’ it appears to be the battery rather than the radiation.
Plaese read the statement.

(just to avoid nitpicking the EM is in fact losing energy in the form of particle interaction and will eventually run out of energy but this is a rather minor draw on its potential);

as,

(just to avoid nitpicking the battery, is in fact losing energy in the form of battery degredation and it will eventually run out of energy, but this is a rather minor draw on its potential);
