Yeah well, I do have a collection of documentaries that deal with
Zero Point Energy and similar technologies.
Only problem is - they are very technical and beyond my understanding.
Oh yes, Zero Point Energy exists - see the 'Casimir Effect'.
And read "The Hunt for Zero Point" by Nick Cook.
I think I have just about every documentary about Nikola Tesla now -
why don't you read everything you can about Tesla - and tell me he
wasn't a real scientist? Perhaps the greatest scientist of all time?
If you were take away everything that depended upon Tesla, we'll be
running dangerous DC generators every 6? miles, all thanks to Edison.

There is such a rare thing as a visionary scientist - they step 

outside

the 'norm' and take us beyond current technology.

Controversy arises when such devices are promoted without 

scientifically 

acceptable evidence that they tap the energy sources claimed. Promoters 
of such devices often demonstrate a lack of understanding of how the 
device might produce energy in accordance with widely accepted 
scientific facts and methods. They may have problems with the 
development or communication of a reasonable theory, and often fail to 
look for simpler explanations for the claimed performance of a device. 
(See Occam's razor)

Any of these behaviours are liable to taint the reputations of those 
involved with such devices, and qualified researchers are therefore 
likely to be reluctant to make any attempt to verify or even seriously 
dismiss such a device until its promoters demonstrate enough competence 
to be taken seriously.

You obviously don't believe in 'Go where no man has gone before''
and of thinking outside the box.

There are reputable people looking at Zero Point Energy, etc.
Tom Valone comes to mind. And there's Stan Deyo and Tom Bearden.
One of the great unsung and unrecognised inventors, will probably
be Viktor Shauberger whose discoveries and rediscoveries will
help us enormously.
