FEBRUARY MEETING
This months meeting began at 8PM with 17 people present and apologies from
Cedric, Damien and Kevin. I began by reading the incoming mail which included
information on the upcoming NEXUS conference, a catalogue from the Byron Bay
ASTRO group, more information from Robert Michaels, the latest release of
information from Robert Adams and some newsletters from the Searl Group in
Western Australia. Ashley then led a discussion on how to handle the borrowing
of the 1994 Symposium notes and it was agreed to split them into smaller
booklets so that they become easier to handle. It was also decided after a vote
(16 for and 1 against) to advertise the group in appropriate places around
Adelaide and in NEXUS. Other items discussed were the disclaimer which you would
have read at the beginning of this newsletter, and the fact that we have
basically run out of videos suitable for showing at meetings. Dino and Tony did
have some suggestions but we are not that kind of group! It was suggested that
we get some guest speakers along to our meetings which most people seemed to
think was a good idea. Ian has already started down this track and has
approached someone to talk on the Quantum hot water service and associated
subjects.
Ashley spoke about a current affairs show in New Zealand which carried a story
on the person behind the Split Cycle engine. Apparently he has been a naughty
boy and owes the government lots of money in taxes. Ian showed some information
on measuring frequencies followed by Tony with some information on a UK
television company looking for suppressed inventions. (see article later in this
newsletter) Andrew then gave an interesting talk on his latest project using
steam injection and a Rootes blower on the exhaust of his test bed - the Bongo
van! Andrew also spoke on the cancer treatment using herbs as was seen in NEXUS.
Finally Roger gave a report on the WA company who are producing systems using
LTPC technology. (see article in this newsletter) The Split Cycle Engine video
was shown next and I was amazed as nobody complained!! As the coffee mugs were
being brought out, Dino talked about a power lead which was supposed to reduce
the amount of power that equipment draws from the mains. It didn't, but during
some spectrum analyser tests we did on the radiation produced by various
computers, we did notice that this lead did reduce some of those. And so ended
another very active Friday night meeting with the stragglers being evicted just
after midnight.
SEARL GROUP AUSTRALIA
For those interested in Searl's work, the Searl Group in WA are bringing him to
Australia on a lecture tour. He will be lecturing in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney and
Melbourne but not in Adelaide unless someone (or group) decide to take it on.
The committee of ASTRO SA Inc. have decided that there would not be enough
interest in Adelaide to get the required number of people (50 to 100) to make a
lecture here viable so we are not prepared to organise it. The Melbourne lecture
is on July 15th and costs $55 at the door or $45 pre-purchased and goes from
10am until 4pm. Also on offer are private dinners with Searl (maximum of 10
people) for $85. For further information contact Steve Walker of The Searl Group
Australia on 096 35 1540.
FUEL SAVER DEVICES
Randal has passed onto me two articles on fuel savers, one of which was featured
in an ASTRO newsletter not long after we began over two years ago. This was the
device which fitted between the carburetor and manifold, was made of aluminium
and had magnets inside it. The inventor, Roy McDonnell, claimed the device cut
fuel consumption by half and reduced pollution. This was back in August 1993,
has anyone any information on what has happened to Roy and his device?
The other fuel saver was called the Cyclone. Korean inventor Sei Young Kim
demonstrated the device at the Australian Automotive Trade Fair in 1993 and was
awarded an academic prize by the invention festival of Bulgaria (WHERE????) for
his contribution to automotive engineering. The Cyclone is a small metal device
which is said to make the air/fuel mixture swirl around before being forced into
the combustion chamber. Savings of up to 20% in fuel consumption, up to 30% less
pollution and up to 10% more power output were claimed. Once again what has
happened to the man and his invention?
THE TEAP TECHNOLOGY
Western Australian company Thermal Energy Accumulator Products (TEAP) are the
latest players in the LTPC technology, and they have products on the market
already. (underfloor heating, hot water systems and pool heating, not to mention
the stubby cooler) The main difference between this system and others like those
purported by Dennis Lee is that the phase change occurs in a salt which absorbs
and releases the energy as it melts or freezes. For example, a salt which melts
at 29C absorbs energy when the surrounding temperature goes above 30C, and gives
out great energy when the ambient temperature goes below 28C. TEAP have a range
of different melting point salts from -21C up to +90C so they can be used for a
variety of applications. eg. the hot water system uses 58C salt.
The system was invented in Europe in the mid 1980's by Mario Stiffler and he
called his system Thermal Energy Accumulation. (TEA) The TEA system consists of
two components which are:
1. A solar energy collector which absorbs solar energy at a
high level of efficiency and at a low cost. Waste heat can also be used.
2. An energy accumulator which is an insulated box containing hydrated TEA salts of selected fusion temperatures which absorb the collected energy, stores the energy until it is demanded back, and then releases the energy on demand.
The most interesting device as far as free energy interests go though is their
Thermo Volumetric Motor. (TVM) This is basically a motor/turbine fitted into the
refrigerant line of the unit to produce motive power to drive a generator, etc.
(same idea as Lee and Wiseman) The principle of thermo volumetrics is a
confrontation of two different temperature ranges, with the temperature
differential being called Delta T. In the TEA thermo volumetric applications,
the Delta T differential is maintained on a constant basis by use of a high
temperature hydrated salt and a low temperature cooling system using two
separate TEA accumulators. Energy is collected via the collector and is then
absorbed by the high temperature salts. The salts are typically with a fusion
temperature of 58C or 90C. The maintenance of a constant Delta T maintains the
system which then drives the motor/turbine via the refrigerant in the system.
The TVM uses two thermal energy banks, one hot bank at around 60C to provide
energy to a refrigerant which converts and expands liquid to gas and another
cold bank at around 10C which cools and contracts the refrigerant and returns it
via a pump in a liquid state to the hot bank. (see accompanying diagram)

FREE ENERGY ON TV?
Lauderdale Productions in the UK is a television company specialising in
investigative journalism and science programming and are currently exploring the
possibility of a TV series that will look at science that has been suppressed.
The show titled "Science on the Edge" will look at science that has
been suppressed, ignored or rubbished by authorities, scientific community or
industry. What they want to find are theories/inventions/discoveries that can be
independently corroborated and situations where there is documented evidence of
government, industry or scientific mainstream dirty work. What they can't follow
up are unsubstantiated reports that someone, somewhere, overheard.
If you have a story WHICH YOU KNOW TO BE PERSONALLY TRUE (rather than something
which sounds probable but you only heard second or third hand) then they would
love to here from you. If you can help, contact Tony and he will be able to get
you in contact with these people.
TRIPPETT CIRCUIT SUGGESTION
For those following the Beardon/Trippett saga, the following item may be of
interest to you. Robert Michaels has sent down an idea to simplify the circuit
by removing the second battery and using only two ammeters and two mosfets/transistors
as in the circuit below. Robert does query however that maybe this is too simple
and perhaps the original circuit provides isolation between components. What do
YOU think?? Gee, there are lots of questions in this newsletter.
THE MAGNETIC RESONANCE AMPLIFIER (MRA)
The MRA situation has been up and down more than a yo-yo this month with an
independent test having been done by Hal Puthoff, Scott Little and their team at
the Institute of Advanced Studies in Austin. Below is part of their report:
January 20th: "An MRA device provided by Joel McClain and Norman
Wooten was tested for power efficiency. The MRA is essentially a power
converter, driven by an audio frequency AC voltage and producing a DC output.
Our tests included meter measurements, made in the manner employed by McClain
and Wooten, and digital oscilloscope measurements, which provided
high-resolution recording of input voltage and current traces. Our meter
measurements duplicated the results reported by McClain and Wooten which would
appear to indicate over-unity(>100% efficiency) performance at certain
frequencies, but only because the active behaviour of the system is not properly
taken into account by this measurement procedure. The digital oscilloscope
measurements, which correctly account for the effects of circuit reactance,
yielded a nearly constant 50% efficiency at all frequencies.
Conclusion: Based on the results of our experimentation and analysis we
find that the device provided by McClain and Wooten does not produce
over-unity-efficiency results. The MRA circuit behaves instead as one would
expect of a loaded transformer with a series capacitor in the primary circuit.
When the MRA is detuned from resonance to frequencies slightly below resonance,
the observed changes may give the impression that the MRA then draws unusually
little power from the source while nonetheless maintaining a healthy output.
This impression is false. True power measurements show that the MRA continues to
draw about twice as much power from the source as it delivers to the load."
February 10th: The inventors are still claiming that their device is
over-unity and that the independent tests done on it showed the same results
that they obtained but were interpreted differently. They still claim that tests
they have done have showed overunity effects including running lamps as a load
while the input current has been reduced to a minimum. They are in the process
of building a self sustaining unit, so I guess that this will prove one way or
the other if this device is genuine or not. Has anyone over here tried repeating
their experiments? If so please let me know. More next month.
INTER ATOMIC RESONANCE
1 thought that this was an interesting theory which may help some people in
their quest for an understanding of some of the things which we are involved in.
On the other hand it may just add more confusion! This article was written by
Norman Wootan (one of the MRA group) and was downloaded off the Internet by
Tony. Also for those interested, there is a copy of the Cold Fusion Patent now
in the ASTRO library.
"In 1892 Nikola Tesla created electrostatic discharges from an induction
coil that possessed every characteristic of what we commonly know as a chemical
decomposition flame and posed the question to the scientific world; "Is a
chemical flame simply a release of atomic electrostatic resonances during
transition between states of matter?"
My Cold Fusion Patent search was based on the theory that since electrostatic
forces are the "glue" or binding force which holds all mater together
then if we use resonant standing waves (scalar effect) then we could disassemble
the atomic structure which is what Tesla had proposed during his Lecture before
the Electrical Engineering Conference in London when he described his carbon
button lamp experiments. My theory explains the disassociation process in the
electrolytic cell when we separate hydrogen and oxygen from water. It is the
inter-atomic resonances that cause the disassociation of the hydrogen from the
oxygen in the simple electrolysis of water. The normally strong molecular bond
of the H20 molecule is broken by the difference in resonant frequencies of
hydrogen and oxygen which are excited by the flow of electric current.
When hydrogen is oxidized by oxygen (combustion) the results, water and a
release of energy which we perceive as heat and light is actually a broad band
of electrostatic resonances. This conforms with Tesla's observations. Since the
electromagnetic spectrum goes from "O"HZ or DC all the way up to
Cosmic Rays and who knows how much higher (infinity) with no differentiation or
categories of energy then why can't all frequencies be electrostatic resonances.
When we feel heat we say that is "heat" but it is actually an
electrostatic resonance that we perceive as heat and if the frequency is high
enough it becomes visible red or even higher frequency it becomes white light if
the resonances are broad band to encompass enough frequencies."
SYMPOSIUM NOTES BARGAIN!!!!
Due to circumstances beyond our control we have in our possession an extra copy.
If anyone would like to buy them at the bargain price of $35 see Andrew at the
next meeting.
NEXT MEETING
The next meeting will be held on the third Friday once again, at the usual time
of 7.30 PM, the date being:
FRIDAY 17TH MARCH.
Video:I thought that the programme called "Hacker
Attack" might be interesting for those who did not see it on SBS last week.
If most people have seen it we shall be democratic and have a vote as to what to
do instead on the meeting night.
The usual applies in that please bring $3.00 to cover video purchase and
newsletter printing and postage, and something for supper would be appreciated.
I hope to see you all at the next meeting.
