First Posted at 2015 Energy Conference
Day 1
Hello all,
This year’s Energy Conference 2015 continued the tradition of the past two years, in having generally excellent speakers and subject matter, along with a number of demonstrations for the touchee feelee crowd. The change of venue from Hayden to downtown Cour D’Alene was a definite upgrade and provided very easy access to a multitude of restaurants both for lunch and dinner. Downtown is the center of action during the summer with a lot of activity and visual pleasures. Free parking was available for those that were willing to walk 10 minutes - non issue. Thumbs up for the venue overall.
To this participant there were two common themes layered into the conference. The first overt theme is the breaking of the energy monopoly of the large corporations that produce and market the energy that keeps the US and a large portion of the world populace living in a comfortable style. This was a recurring emphasis throughout the seminars. Availability of “low” cost energy is the foundation of the civilized world and creature comfort, though for many it is not always or easily obtainable.
The second theme is somewhat more complex and not easily definable by the existing science. This is the “Sea of Energy” as described by T. Henry Moray in his 1960 paper THE SEA OF ENERGY IN WHICH THE EARTH FLOATS. In his perception we are all surrounded by energy, it is all around us as the primordial substance of the universe – way too complex to describe adequately here, but yet very simple in essence.
So, onward to the meat (substance) of the conference – this will be in two parts or more, as to not overload this thread or the reader.
The first presentation on Friday was by Dr. Douglas Lindstrom Basics of ECE Theory providing a theoretical basis for LENR and other over unity devices. Truly a well-organized and cogent array of alternate theory that left this participant stunned by the wealth of information. See Alpha Institute for Advanced Studies - Home and ECE theory in particular – this site is well developed and worth the research effort. Thumbs up!
The second presentation was the esteemed minister Alwyn Throckmorton on the Lord’s Prayer HOH Water Pump. A lot of anticipation on this one, but… This presentation was somewhat meandering with many diversions into the Christian faith. No problem on this end if there was more substance, design data and performance of the HOH system; not to be, zero, zilch. There was a demonstration apparatus at the conference for the seminar, but it was not activated due to some obscure technical problems. So no show and tell, at least to this participant’s knowledge. Good effort, but no cigar. Thumbs down!
Plasma Ignition Redux – Aaron Murakami’s talk on the subject was an extension of last year’s effort and worth the time and attention focus. Many interesting points and recommendations for the practical application of this concept and physical devices to combustion engines (cars). Enough information here to apply the Plasma ignition to almost any vehicle. The latest design iteration is still too new to have a sense of possible performance gains – worth checking into this. Thumbs up!
Next was the inimitable Paul Babcock - Ethanol Myth’s Debunked straying into the field of Ethanol fuels. Very well done with a great historical context of the progression of transportation fuel evolution and associated politics. Described various simple ongoing projects and methods that can produce ethanol as a fuel from most plant based products, not just corn. Showed resources and simple distilling devices that can make this a simple local reality as an alternative fuel that is environmentally friendly. Most current vehicles have flex fuel capability, after all this is a world market. Nicely done, though a bit heavy on the freedom from corporate greed philosophy. Thumbs up!
Lastly, there was John Bedini giving a very interesting and lively overview of the progression in the alternative energy field over the past 40 or so years. His experiences over this time period are very revealing. You had to be there to appreciate the subject matter covered. Look for the video! However, this write up would not be complete without mentioning the presentation of the Bedini-Cole Window motor device. The device was encased in a plexiglass case, looking somewhat other worldly, or perhaps alien. John B removed the plastic case and cranked the device up and let it run during the course of his talk. Powered by a couple of AA batteries (claimed to be at least 5 or more years old) the device’s propeller started slowly and the flashing green LEDs weak and slow. Not to worry, by the end of his talk the propeller was spinning rapidly and the LEDs flashing rapidly and brightly. I missed checking out those old AA batteries at the end, whatever, point made. More to come…
The above is this writer’s view and opinion; these perceptions are reflective of the current state of the Aether, planetary alignments and volume of caffeine intake.
Best to everyone,
