If you know

Dear German academy,
Since you are based in Germany and want to teach Free Energy or Alternative Energy, have you ever heard of the Lockridge device? This is name given to this device from the DVD "Energy from the Vacuum part 14 The Lockridge Device" with John Bedini.

It was brought to our attention by John Bedini and Peter Lindemann. It's basically a self running device that was in use in WW2 to power 300 watts of bulbs or a small heater.

A small number of people here have been trying to replicate this for some time.

Any information you may know of would be very helpful.

Thanks,
wantomake

German Academy

As a sometime resident with a certain academic knowledge in Berlin and indeed in Germany per se I am not “aware” of the German Academy. Is it a German Uni or institute such as the Frauenhof/Max Planck et al???? Perhaps one should check what one is buying - yup buying! Of course I may well be powerful ignorant- and how!
