1 00:00:11,930 --> 00:00:03,379 with Garrett Modell on the far right 2 00:00:15,350 --> 00:00:11,940 Bernie hi and Who am I ken r allen and 3 00:00:17,029 --> 00:00:15,360 and my end I'm Daniel Sheehan the the 4 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:17,039 format of this is completely flexible we 5 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:17,850 hope to have lots of audience 6 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:20,010 participation but what we'd like to talk 7 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:22,650 about I think our our our visions of 8 00:00:26,929 --> 00:00:24,570 where where the future of energy is and 9 00:00:28,550 --> 00:00:26,939 whether it's going to be the status quo 10 00:00:31,669 --> 00:00:28,560 or whether they're going to be major 11 00:00:34,010 --> 00:00:31,679 changes and how we look at energy and 12 00:00:35,380 --> 00:00:34,020 obviously from the point of view of SSC 13 00:00:37,970 --> 00:00:35,390 we're looking for breakthroughs I think 14 00:00:39,410 --> 00:00:37,980 once represented here I think would be a 15 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:39,420 vacuum energy and second law primarily 16 00:00:45,290 --> 00:00:43,050 but there are other ones as well for 17 00:00:46,459 --> 00:00:45,300 instance low energy nuclear reactions i 18 00:00:48,950 --> 00:00:46,469 think Garrett's a little bit involved in 19 00:00:51,830 --> 00:00:48,960 that as well or just starting to but 20 00:00:53,779 --> 00:00:51,840 there are a number of them and i think 21 00:00:59,240 --> 00:00:53,789 all of us can see some of the fruits of 22 00:01:01,270 --> 00:00:59,250 the the current energy dilemma where the 23 00:01:03,380 --> 00:01:01,280 price of oil can can fluctuate between 24 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:03,390 forty dollars a barrel one hundred fifty 25 00:01:09,310 --> 00:01:06,570 dollars a barrel leading to not just 26 00:01:11,990 --> 00:01:09,320 energy shortages but food shortages as 27 00:01:14,630 --> 00:01:12,000 the united states plows more of its a 28 00:01:16,940 --> 00:01:14,640 corn and makes it into biofuels and 29 00:01:19,580 --> 00:01:16,950 makes makes corn and expensive commodity 30 00:01:20,780 --> 00:01:19,590 on the world market or the disaster in 31 00:01:22,429 --> 00:01:20,790 the gulf that we're seeing unfold and 32 00:01:26,719 --> 00:01:22,439 may not be solved for many months or 33 00:01:28,340 --> 00:01:26,729 years ahead we pay the price energy is 34 00:01:30,679 --> 00:01:28,350 lifeblood of civilization without it you 35 00:01:31,910 --> 00:01:30,689 cannot have civilization but at the same 36 00:01:33,950 --> 00:01:31,920 time there are many drawbacks which 37 00:01:36,609 --> 00:01:33,960 we're seeing in terms of things like as 38 00:01:39,050 --> 00:01:36,619 broad as climate change global warming 39 00:01:41,270 --> 00:01:39,060 the rise in co2 levels in the atmosphere 40 00:01:43,969 --> 00:01:41,280 the acidification of the oceans many 41 00:01:47,030 --> 00:01:43,979 things so if we can find alternatives 42 00:01:49,249 --> 00:01:47,040 which are clean green plentiful high 43 00:01:51,590 --> 00:01:49,259 power densities and so on we this 44 00:01:53,450 --> 00:01:51,600 society may be one of the one of the 45 00:01:55,190 --> 00:01:53,460 Keystone's one of the linchpins in a 46 00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:55,200 revolution which which is not just an 47 00:02:01,010 --> 00:01:57,450 energy but in societal transformation in 48 00:02:02,420 --> 00:02:01,020 the way we stewart our planet so this 49 00:02:03,980 --> 00:02:02,430 will be a wide-ranging discussion and 50 00:02:05,569 --> 00:02:03,990 again we we would like to see as much 51 00:02:07,130 --> 00:02:05,579 audience participation as possible 52 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:07,140 because we don't know very much up here 53 00:02:10,830 --> 00:02:08,770 I don't think 54 00:02:23,820 --> 00:02:10,840 I think it wants to start off with a few 55 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:23,830 slides sorry really i thought you were 56 00:02:43,380 --> 00:02:38,160 ah there you are hello Thank You Daniel 57 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:43,390 so what I want to do here is just in as 58 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:45,010 Daniel suggested sort of stimulate 59 00:02:51,330 --> 00:02:47,890 discussion with talking about some of 60 00:02:53,670 --> 00:02:51,340 the basic energy principles that were 61 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:53,680 that we're dealing with in trying to 62 00:02:59,160 --> 00:02:57,610 look for new energy and I'll go through 63 00:03:02,760 --> 00:02:59,170 these slides fairly quickly and just 64 00:03:05,100 --> 00:03:02,770 described my view on it we may or may 65 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:05,110 not take you use these as a take-off for 66 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:06,850 discussion depending on what other 67 00:03:12,630 --> 00:03:09,850 people have to say just in response to 68 00:03:14,670 --> 00:03:12,640 Kim and Daniel's quotes about zero point 69 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:14,680 energy I just while they were talking I 70 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:17,770 pulled this one up which is Albert 71 00:03:21,810 --> 00:03:20,170 Einstein's and he said classical 72 00:03:24,690 --> 00:03:21,820 thermodynamics is the only physical 73 00:03:26,580 --> 00:03:24,700 theory of universal content which I am 74 00:03:28,470 --> 00:03:26,590 convinced will never be overthrown um 75 00:03:29,550 --> 00:03:28,480 that's a nice one I actually put that 76 00:03:31,850 --> 00:03:29,560 have that at the end of one of my 77 00:03:35,460 --> 00:03:31,860 articles and if you look at what it says 78 00:03:37,470 --> 00:03:35,470 it's tautological it says classical 79 00:03:40,710 --> 00:03:37,480 thermodynamics will never be overthrown 80 00:03:42,510 --> 00:03:40,720 where it applies which means that it 81 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:42,520 will never be overthrown where it is 82 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:45,010 valid well that's fine but it will be 83 00:03:54,870 --> 00:03:50,650 overthrown where it is not valid I won't 84 00:03:56,250 --> 00:03:54,880 I'll leave it leave it as it is so I 85 00:03:59,700 --> 00:03:56,260 we've all talked a little bit about 86 00:04:01,590 --> 00:03:59,710 Maxwell's demon and I don't III agree 87 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:01,600 with you know what everybody has said 88 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:03,850 about it what I want to do is just talk 89 00:04:07,890 --> 00:04:05,170 a little bit about the second law of 90 00:04:09,810 --> 00:04:07,900 thermodynamics from just yet another 91 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:09,820 perspective because it's such a profound 92 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:15,490 profound law and that is that originally 93 00:04:20,699 --> 00:04:17,410 it was developed in its various forms 94 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:20,709 and I think you quoted eighteen 95 00:04:26,310 --> 00:04:23,410 different variations of it was out 96 00:04:30,210 --> 00:04:26,320 correct to learn something like that it 97 00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:30,220 originally evolved from an experimental 98 00:04:37,770 --> 00:04:33,850 view of burning what happens if you 99 00:04:40,190 --> 00:04:37,780 convert heat into work and what the 100 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:40,200 limits are then later it was 101 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:43,610 reconstituted in its statistical form 102 00:04:50,379 --> 00:04:47,810 and it's statistical form simply says 103 00:04:52,659 --> 00:04:50,389 that you've got a couple of basic 104 00:04:55,809 --> 00:04:52,669 assumptions one is let's say that we've 105 00:04:59,700 --> 00:04:55,819 got a system of ideal gas in a chamber 106 00:05:05,230 --> 00:04:59,710 and so if we assume that that ideal gas 107 00:05:07,270 --> 00:05:05,240 is in a number accountable number of 108 00:05:08,740 --> 00:05:07,280 different configurations in other words 109 00:05:11,679 --> 00:05:08,750 we can either have this particle over 110 00:05:14,379 --> 00:05:11,689 here or over there or over there and the 111 00:05:17,499 --> 00:05:14,389 number of different states of that 112 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:17,509 system can be somehow enumerated and 113 00:05:23,980 --> 00:05:22,250 it's a huge huge number that's one basic 114 00:05:26,950 --> 00:05:23,990 assumption and the other basic 115 00:05:30,129 --> 00:05:26,960 assumption is that these states are all 116 00:05:33,909 --> 00:05:30,139 equally likely so if you take those two 117 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:33,919 ideas then you say okay let's put all of 118 00:05:41,019 --> 00:05:37,849 the gas into one half of the chamber and 119 00:05:43,179 --> 00:05:41,029 let time pass well the gas is going to 120 00:05:48,010 --> 00:05:43,189 redistribute itself over the entire 121 00:05:50,999 --> 00:05:48,020 chamber and it will get into a state in 122 00:05:54,519 --> 00:05:51,009 which it's got the most possible 123 00:05:56,740 --> 00:05:54,529 configurations so it's it will get into 124 00:06:00,040 --> 00:05:56,750 a state where it's spread out because 125 00:06:02,050 --> 00:06:00,050 that's the most possible ways that you 126 00:06:03,700 --> 00:06:02,060 can distribute the gas end up with their 127 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:03,710 weather being in a state where its most 128 00:06:07,959 --> 00:06:05,210 spread out I didn't say that very well 129 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:07,969 that I think you got the basic idea so 130 00:06:16,059 --> 00:06:12,370 uh and from that we can say what 131 00:06:20,820 --> 00:06:16,069 equilibrium is that equilibrium occurs 132 00:06:25,409 --> 00:06:20,830 when the gas or electrons or heat or 133 00:06:27,939 --> 00:06:25,419 particles or thoughts are in the most 134 00:06:32,709 --> 00:06:27,949 spread out state in the state of 135 00:06:35,260 --> 00:06:32,719 greatest multiplicity and so then we 136 00:06:38,439 --> 00:06:35,270 have good old Maxwell's demon who tries 137 00:06:41,409 --> 00:06:38,449 to disobey it and as Daniel Sheehan said 138 00:06:43,659 --> 00:06:41,419 ultimately the reason that Maxwell's 139 00:06:46,209 --> 00:06:43,669 demon cannot work in this type of a 140 00:06:48,909 --> 00:06:46,219 configuration has to do with information 141 00:06:51,070 --> 00:06:48,919 because he has to eject information when 142 00:06:52,990 --> 00:06:51,080 he forgets one configuration of the 143 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:53,000 system to move to the next configuration 144 00:06:55,879 --> 00:06:54,770 and at this point it's pretty well 145 00:06:57,709 --> 00:06:55,889 established 146 00:07:01,339 --> 00:06:57,719 information entropy and thermodynamic 147 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:01,349 entropy are the same thing so the second 148 00:07:05,390 --> 00:07:03,210 law of thermodynamics has been around I 149 00:07:06,980 --> 00:07:05,400 as I mentioned a little bit earlier and 150 00:07:09,050 --> 00:07:06,990 probably going to be end up being the 151 00:07:11,239 --> 00:07:09,060 conservative person on this panel just 152 00:07:17,029 --> 00:07:11,249 in that from my perspective I haven't 153 00:07:19,059 --> 00:07:17,039 seen deviations from it so we there are 154 00:07:21,860 --> 00:07:19,069 a number of different types of 155 00:07:25,369 --> 00:07:21,870 situations where we'd like to extract 156 00:07:27,439 --> 00:07:25,379 energy from a uniform distribution but 157 00:07:28,670 --> 00:07:27,449 we can't extract it from a uniform 158 00:07:30,469 --> 00:07:28,680 distribution unless there is a 159 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:30,479 difference there needs to be some 160 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:33,090 difference to drive it so imagine the 161 00:07:40,010 --> 00:07:35,610 ocean being totally flat and we want the 162 00:07:45,170 --> 00:07:40,020 flowing of water to then give us some 163 00:07:47,089 --> 00:07:45,180 sort of a harvestable energy and this is 164 00:07:49,010 --> 00:07:47,099 not exactly the second law of 165 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:49,020 thermodynamics but it's pretty close to 166 00:07:52,939 --> 00:07:50,810 it saying that when you've got 167 00:07:56,329 --> 00:07:52,949 equilibrium when you've got a uniform 168 00:07:58,309 --> 00:07:56,339 distribution it's impossible to get work 169 00:08:00,950 --> 00:07:58,319 out of it now there are several 170 00:08:04,969 --> 00:08:00,960 ingenious schemes Daniels and Ken's 171 00:08:07,159 --> 00:08:04,979 which attempt to do so and I imagine it 172 00:08:09,469 --> 00:08:07,169 if they want they'll explain why this 173 00:08:13,399 --> 00:08:09,479 particular scheme doesn't apply in their 174 00:08:14,869 --> 00:08:13,409 situation i am bernie will talk about 175 00:08:17,300 --> 00:08:14,879 another one where we say this doesn't 176 00:08:19,700 --> 00:08:17,310 apply and that has to do with the 177 00:08:22,610 --> 00:08:19,710 zero-point energy because with zero 178 00:08:24,860 --> 00:08:22,620 point energy there is a situation in 179 00:08:26,990 --> 00:08:24,870 which the sea level is not flat and 180 00:08:29,570 --> 00:08:27,000 that's when you've got a Casimir cavity 181 00:08:32,719 --> 00:08:29,580 so when you at the mouth of the Casimir 182 00:08:35,630 --> 00:08:32,729 cavity inside the Casimir cavity there 183 00:08:37,939 --> 00:08:35,640 is a lower energy level than there is 184 00:08:39,769 --> 00:08:37,949 outside and you just can stand there for 185 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:39,779 as long as you like and you will end up 186 00:08:45,410 --> 00:08:41,810 with this difference it's it's like 187 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:45,420 Moses walking through the Red Sea and 188 00:08:49,910 --> 00:08:47,850 they're genuinely is this difference in 189 00:08:53,139 --> 00:08:49,920 the sea level so for that reason Bernie 190 00:08:56,210 --> 00:08:53,149 and I believe there's a possibility of 191 00:08:59,360 --> 00:08:56,220 harvesting a zero-point energy by making 192 00:09:03,170 --> 00:08:59,370 use of this difference as a driving 193 00:09:04,550 --> 00:09:03,180 force for in casimir cavities and again 194 00:09:08,010 --> 00:09:04,560 I'm not going to go into great detail 195 00:09:10,210 --> 00:09:08,020 here so 196 00:09:12,100 --> 00:09:10,220 something that's troubled me from the 197 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:12,110 very beginning as I've been working with 198 00:09:16,540 --> 00:09:13,610 new energies and this has been for a 199 00:09:20,830 --> 00:09:16,550 number of years now is if there is an 200 00:09:22,690 --> 00:09:20,840 energy source presumably Nature has made 201 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:22,700 use of it because nature is extremely 202 00:09:29,560 --> 00:09:26,450 ingenious either physical nature or a 203 00:09:31,690 --> 00:09:29,570 living nature and so let's look at some 204 00:09:34,540 --> 00:09:31,700 different forms of energy and see 205 00:09:37,950 --> 00:09:34,550 whether nature has made use of them so 206 00:09:40,420 --> 00:09:37,960 one for example and the mechanical 207 00:09:43,270 --> 00:09:40,430 gravitational energy well certainly 208 00:09:44,830 --> 00:09:43,280 Nature has made use of mechanical and 209 00:09:49,690 --> 00:09:44,840 gravitational energy and we see that all 210 00:09:52,300 --> 00:09:49,700 over the place second one what about 211 00:09:54,220 --> 00:09:52,310 chemical energy when we burn something 212 00:09:56,260 --> 00:09:54,230 or we have a chemical reaction well 213 00:10:00,360 --> 00:09:56,270 clearly we see that all over the place 214 00:10:02,710 --> 00:10:00,370 in nature and that that's that's a fine 215 00:10:05,890 --> 00:10:02,720 form for energy and so I've got 216 00:10:09,070 --> 00:10:05,900 confidence that we can use that what 217 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:09,080 about the conversion of light into a 218 00:10:12,940 --> 00:10:11,210 usable form of energy let's say I never 219 00:10:15,190 --> 00:10:12,950 have seen a solar cell and I'm wondering 220 00:10:18,100 --> 00:10:15,200 is it possible to build a solar cell 221 00:10:20,680 --> 00:10:18,110 well on nature uses photosynthesis all 222 00:10:24,220 --> 00:10:20,690 the time and so that seems to me to be a 223 00:10:27,220 --> 00:10:24,230 pretty feasible one and i can see nature 224 00:10:29,170 --> 00:10:27,230 does it so what about electromagnetic 225 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:29,180 let's say i want to build a motor in 226 00:10:37,030 --> 00:10:32,210 which i convert electricity into into 227 00:10:40,870 --> 00:10:37,040 work or electric potential into into 228 00:10:43,780 --> 00:10:40,880 work well certainly I see the effects of 229 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:43,790 electromagnetics within nature not only 230 00:10:48,670 --> 00:10:46,490 enlightening but actually as many of us 231 00:10:51,610 --> 00:10:48,680 now know the electric universe is 232 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:51,620 becoming something of a hot topic and 233 00:10:56,680 --> 00:10:54,770 that electricity drives not only things 234 00:11:03,540 --> 00:10:56,690 here on earth but it may very well drive 235 00:11:06,370 --> 00:11:03,550 cosmology what about a thermal or wind 236 00:11:08,950 --> 00:11:06,380 vibrational variations or wind if I want 237 00:11:11,190 --> 00:11:08,960 to build a windmill can I do it well we 238 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:11,200 know that nature does make use of wind I 239 00:11:21,620 --> 00:11:20,420 so what else what about nuclear well you 240 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:21,630 know we've got evidence that 241 00:11:26,090 --> 00:11:23,610 thermonuclear reactions are occurring in 242 00:11:28,780 --> 00:11:26,100 the Sun and in stars and so that seems 243 00:11:31,630 --> 00:11:28,790 like a reasonable thing for us to use 244 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:31,640 well what about zero point energy and 245 00:11:38,030 --> 00:11:35,010 here I'm troubled and I put a big 246 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:38,040 question mark up there may be zero point 247 00:11:42,950 --> 00:11:40,530 energy is being used as a source of 248 00:11:45,380 --> 00:11:42,960 energy within stars we don't really know 249 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:45,390 we don't have evidence that it's not am 250 00:11:55,550 --> 00:11:51,930 I right Bernie so but the but we don't 251 00:11:57,680 --> 00:11:55,560 have evidence but it really is a point 252 00:11:59,630 --> 00:11:57,690 energy source so I don't know and that 253 00:12:01,820 --> 00:11:59,640 troubles me given that you know my lab 254 00:12:03,770 --> 00:12:01,830 has done a fair bit of work looking to 255 00:12:06,260 --> 00:12:03,780 harvest zero-point energy well and 256 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:06,270 Garrett I mean zero point energy I mean 257 00:12:10,430 --> 00:12:08,210 with the zero-point feels important in 258 00:12:12,740 --> 00:12:10,440 dozens of different physical phenomena I 259 00:12:15,230 --> 00:12:12,750 mean certainly it's invoked from van der 260 00:12:17,150 --> 00:12:15,240 Waals forces and and spontaneous or 261 00:12:18,890 --> 00:12:17,160 maybe no question there are lots of 262 00:12:21,230 --> 00:12:18,900 physical manifestations of zero point 263 00:12:23,090 --> 00:12:21,240 energy so to say that it's that because 264 00:12:25,430 --> 00:12:23,100 an organism doesn't necessarily exploit 265 00:12:26,990 --> 00:12:25,440 it I mean it certainly is it's it's it's 266 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:27,000 fundamental I me if you ask Dan Cole he 267 00:12:30,020 --> 00:12:28,410 says almost every process in nature 268 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:30,030 depends on zero point energy when we 269 00:12:33,140 --> 00:12:32,010 were absolutely I agree I agree a 270 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:33,150 hundred percent with everything you've 271 00:12:40,390 --> 00:12:36,450 said except the one part about 272 00:12:43,550 --> 00:12:40,400 exploiting because Nature doesn't you 273 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:43,560 when we don't recognize it yet but it 274 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:46,890 may be there well actually I that may be 275 00:12:50,330 --> 00:12:48,930 true because when Bernie Bernie first 276 00:12:53,990 --> 00:12:50,340 approached me with a zero point energy 277 00:12:57,860 --> 00:12:54,000 idea I spent a lot of time fighting 278 00:12:59,840 --> 00:12:57,870 Bernie and I did some calculations to 279 00:13:01,700 --> 00:12:59,850 see what the pumping energy would be and 280 00:13:04,550 --> 00:13:01,710 turned out the pumping energy for Bernie 281 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:04,560 scheme was fine then I did a number of 282 00:13:09,020 --> 00:13:06,210 things and in every case it came out 283 00:13:10,970 --> 00:13:09,030 okay another thing I did is I was 284 00:13:14,060 --> 00:13:10,980 thinking what we're in nature does the 285 00:13:16,340 --> 00:13:14,070 zero-point energy used and the one place 286 00:13:19,810 --> 00:13:16,350 that intrigues me and it still kind of 287 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:19,820 intrigues me is fungus and mushrooms 288 00:13:26,210 --> 00:13:24,930 because we know that fungus are the 289 00:13:27,740 --> 00:13:26,220 biggest life-forms on Earth either 290 00:13:29,270 --> 00:13:27,750 fungus or aspen trees I'm not 291 00:13:32,540 --> 00:13:29,280 which but they're there they're 292 00:13:36,050 --> 00:13:32,550 absolutely huge you know their many the 293 00:13:38,180 --> 00:13:36,060 size of this hotel and we the 294 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:38,190 conventional wisdom is that fungus uses 295 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:41,730 a decaying organic matter as its energy 296 00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:43,650 source on the other hand fungus has 297 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:45,690 these little tubes in it that sure are 298 00:13:51,170 --> 00:13:49,410 like casimir cavities and it just sort 299 00:13:53,750 --> 00:13:51,180 of makes me wonder it would be a lot of 300 00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:53,760 fun to try to do an experiment and see 301 00:14:00,740 --> 00:13:57,450 does fungus somehow produce more energy 302 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:00,750 than it appears to consume but you know 303 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:04,050 I'm still looking so I can I I agree 304 00:14:07,940 --> 00:14:05,250 with you you know they're there may be 305 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:07,950 forms we haven't found but it troubles 306 00:14:13,370 --> 00:14:10,890 me that we haven't found them and then 307 00:14:15,140 --> 00:14:13,380 this if we look at other sort of 308 00:14:19,430 --> 00:14:15,150 potential steps and I use this potential 309 00:14:21,890 --> 00:14:19,440 step simply because of Daniels scheme 310 00:14:25,130 --> 00:14:21,900 which which involves a semiconductor 311 00:14:27,950 --> 00:14:25,140 Junction and have we seen nature make 312 00:14:30,620 --> 00:14:27,960 use of these things well we haven't and 313 00:14:32,690 --> 00:14:30,630 does that mean we can't do it no because 314 00:14:35,180 --> 00:14:32,700 we certainly go many places that nature 315 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:35,190 hasn't gone on the other hand it 316 00:14:41,510 --> 00:14:36,930 troubles me a little bit so I leave it 317 00:14:43,010 --> 00:14:41,520 at that well I'd like to make an 318 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:43,020 immediate response to the to the last 319 00:14:46,700 --> 00:14:44,490 argument which is that because nature 320 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:46,710 hasn't exploited it yet that somehow 321 00:14:51,170 --> 00:14:49,530 that we will not be able to either I 322 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:51,180 mean you don't look around you don't 323 00:14:56,660 --> 00:14:54,210 walk through Antarctica or I'll say the 324 00:14:58,700 --> 00:14:56,670 deep dark of Africa places people 325 00:15:00,140 --> 00:14:58,710 haven't been and find internal 326 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:00,150 combustion engines sitting on the ground 327 00:15:05,060 --> 00:15:02,250 they don't spontaneously rise in or do 328 00:15:07,670 --> 00:15:05,070 747s we've been able to achieve 329 00:15:09,950 --> 00:15:07,680 temperatures down near you know 10 or 330 00:15:11,150 --> 00:15:09,960 100 nano Kelvin and nature only produces 331 00:15:13,310 --> 00:15:11,160 temperatures down to three kelp and 332 00:15:14,900 --> 00:15:13,320 we've gone a temperature difference of a 333 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:14,910 factor of a million or a billion below 334 00:15:18,170 --> 00:15:17,130 what nature can achieve we have 335 00:15:21,590 --> 00:15:18,180 computers which don't spontaneously 336 00:15:23,150 --> 00:15:21,600 arise so the fat and if you have if you 337 00:15:24,410 --> 00:15:23,160 have a gallon of gasoline sitting on on 338 00:15:25,790 --> 00:15:24,420 in the middle of a field it's never 339 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:25,800 going to do anything without building an 340 00:15:29,180 --> 00:15:27,930 internal combustion engine to make use 341 00:15:31,220 --> 00:15:29,190 of it it's not going to do any really 342 00:15:35,460 --> 00:15:31,230 useful work for you it'll just simply 343 00:15:37,140 --> 00:15:35,470 degrade over time um nature 344 00:15:40,590 --> 00:15:37,150 should have built an internal combustion 345 00:15:43,230 --> 00:15:40,600 engine and I misspoke what I meant to 346 00:15:47,570 --> 00:15:43,240 say I thought I said it was it hasn't 347 00:15:49,770 --> 00:15:47,580 used a particular type of reaction right 348 00:15:51,030 --> 00:15:49,780 right well as well the second law is a 349 00:15:52,620 --> 00:15:51,040 subtle thing I mean I certainly would 350 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:52,630 say that it hasn't there's no obvious 351 00:15:56,550 --> 00:15:54,610 violation of it up to now but that 352 00:15:58,230 --> 00:15:56,560 doesn't mean that a violation cannot be 353 00:16:01,830 --> 00:15:58,240 achieved through through clever 354 00:16:05,460 --> 00:16:01,840 construction now there are man-made 355 00:16:08,250 --> 00:16:05,470 things that do not exist in nature we 356 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:08,260 know that tornadoes and storms and other 357 00:16:13,050 --> 00:16:10,570 things like that are heat engines but 358 00:16:14,940 --> 00:16:13,060 they're open cycle we have closed cycle 359 00:16:16,950 --> 00:16:14,950 heat engines by the millions if not 360 00:16:20,550 --> 00:16:16,960 billions on this planet and I have yet 361 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:20,560 to see one in nature again I think 362 00:16:33,150 --> 00:16:30,970 you're taking okay okay sure okay I'd 363 00:16:36,630 --> 00:16:33,160 like to address the first of Ken's 364 00:16:39,300 --> 00:16:36,640 statements which is that somehow the the 365 00:16:41,790 --> 00:16:39,310 conformance of ideal gases and in finite 366 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:41,800 and finite containers to the second law 367 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:46,330 somehow extends to two other kinds of 368 00:16:50,730 --> 00:16:48,250 devices i think i think i can show that 369 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:50,740 it really doesn't and in fact the second 370 00:16:53,790 --> 00:16:52,330 law of devices least that our groups 371 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:53,800 proposing San Diego has more in common 372 00:16:59,640 --> 00:16:57,250 with with with with the zero-point 373 00:17:00,780 --> 00:16:59,650 engine you're talking about a zero-point 374 00:17:03,390 --> 00:17:00,790 engine you're talking about that you 375 00:17:05,010 --> 00:17:03,400 might imagine so let me use a some low 376 00:17:18,290 --> 00:17:05,020 tech stuff and kind of try to explain 377 00:17:24,390 --> 00:17:21,360 okay from the audience how does how does 378 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:24,400 a hydroelectric power plant work what is 379 00:17:30,120 --> 00:17:27,610 it what does it make use of makes use of 380 00:17:33,300 --> 00:17:30,130 gravity but it's not just gravitational 381 00:17:39,950 --> 00:17:33,310 potential it's a gravitational potential 382 00:17:45,390 --> 00:17:43,170 water water in the back and the water 383 00:17:46,740 --> 00:17:45,400 falls through the damn turns a turbine 384 00:17:49,350 --> 00:17:46,750 which turns a generator which makes 385 00:17:51,690 --> 00:17:49,360 electricity get that straight thank you 386 00:17:54,900 --> 00:17:51,700 so you have a gravitational potential 387 00:17:56,580 --> 00:17:54,910 difference between pens not working very 388 00:18:00,930 --> 00:17:56,590 well as anyone have a pen many chance 389 00:18:02,820 --> 00:18:00,940 fell pen no okay gravitational potential 390 00:18:06,420 --> 00:18:02,830 gradient how about when you drive 391 00:18:08,700 --> 00:18:06,430 electricity voltage does not does not 392 00:18:10,980 --> 00:18:08,710 accelerate charges it's a voltage 393 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:10,990 gradient that accelerates charges 394 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:13,690 electric field accelerate charges so 395 00:18:17,460 --> 00:18:15,850 it's the gradient in the potential that 396 00:18:19,550 --> 00:18:17,470 accelerates charges in any kind of 397 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:19,560 electronic device that accelerates 398 00:18:26,730 --> 00:18:23,050 masses in a gravitational field it's the 399 00:18:28,170 --> 00:18:26,740 gradient that does that so in in the PN 400 00:18:36,060 --> 00:18:28,180 junctions that we're being discussed 401 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:36,070 this afternoon I really need a does 402 00:18:45,270 --> 00:18:39,330 anyone have anything like a felt pen 403 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:45,280 anything at all okay Oh a sharpie 404 00:18:54,499 --> 00:18:52,159 alright employment level okay so we have 405 00:18:56,779 --> 00:18:54,509 an N and P region here and as a result 406 00:18:58,789 --> 00:18:56,789 of electrons going this way and holes 407 00:19:02,269 --> 00:18:58,799 going the other way we end up with an 408 00:19:05,330 --> 00:19:02,279 electric field in the material but it's 409 00:19:06,769 --> 00:19:05,340 very small it's micron sized and but but 410 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:06,779 it's that electric field that gets 411 00:19:11,149 --> 00:19:08,850 developed in this PN Junction which is 412 00:19:13,009 --> 00:19:11,159 ultimately exploited to create the 413 00:19:16,340 --> 00:19:13,019 energy to drive these oscillators that 414 00:19:19,070 --> 00:19:16,350 we my colleagues and I are working on so 415 00:19:21,169 --> 00:19:19,080 the same kinds of potentials different 416 00:19:22,190 --> 00:19:21,179 gradients that are used to drive regular 417 00:19:24,409 --> 00:19:22,200 electric circuits which you're familiar 418 00:19:27,350 --> 00:19:24,419 with are the same kinds of electric 419 00:19:30,230 --> 00:19:27,360 fields that we're exploiting at the 420 00:19:31,430 --> 00:19:30,240 microscopic level for our devices the 421 00:19:33,259 --> 00:19:31,440 difference is the reason why these 422 00:19:35,389 --> 00:19:33,269 haven't been looked at is because 423 00:19:36,889 --> 00:19:35,399 they're microscopic in back 150 years 424 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:36,899 ago there's no one who could who could 425 00:19:41,659 --> 00:19:38,730 imagine or even think of something like 426 00:19:43,039 --> 00:19:41,669 a PN diode it wasn't available but it is 427 00:19:44,810 --> 00:19:43,049 the gradient in the in the potential 428 00:19:46,909 --> 00:19:44,820 that's important and this is an 429 00:19:48,649 --> 00:19:46,919 equilibrium system this is thermal 430 00:19:51,950 --> 00:19:48,659 equilibrium thermal equilibrium does 431 00:19:54,499 --> 00:19:51,960 create and does have macroscopic 432 00:19:56,810 --> 00:19:54,509 potential gradients which can be 433 00:19:58,610 --> 00:19:56,820 exploited in the same fashion that the 434 00:20:01,549 --> 00:19:58,620 non-equilibrium ones which are created 435 00:20:04,519 --> 00:20:01,559 through electric generators or electric 436 00:20:06,649 --> 00:20:04,529 or chemical motors or whatever else also 437 00:20:08,180 --> 00:20:06,659 create so what we're doing is not that 438 00:20:09,860 --> 00:20:08,190 much different in a sense even from what 439 00:20:12,889 --> 00:20:09,870 you're doing you're you are creating 440 00:20:14,869 --> 00:20:12,899 boundary conditions with in order to 441 00:20:17,180 --> 00:20:14,879 create cavities which have differential 442 00:20:19,509 --> 00:20:17,190 amounts of zero point in them we're 443 00:20:22,700 --> 00:20:19,519 creating special geometries which create 444 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:22,710 gradients and differences in electric 445 00:20:26,180 --> 00:20:24,450 fields which allow us to do work to 446 00:20:27,950 --> 00:20:26,190 ultimately if you want to do work you 447 00:20:31,060 --> 00:20:27,960 need you need to have things like 448 00:20:33,289 --> 00:20:31,070 potential gradients and particle fluxes 449 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:33,299 equilibrium systems allow for this so 450 00:20:37,789 --> 00:20:35,610 and this is not an ideal gas but it is 451 00:20:40,129 --> 00:20:37,799 an equilibrium system so the various 452 00:20:42,409 --> 00:20:40,139 systems i've looked at plasma systems on 453 00:20:46,129 --> 00:20:42,419 solid state systems chemical systems all 454 00:20:47,810 --> 00:20:46,139 involve these macroscopic potential 455 00:20:50,690 --> 00:20:47,820 gradients which arise spontaneously at 456 00:20:51,769 --> 00:20:50,700 equilibrium and so i think they share so 457 00:20:55,100 --> 00:20:51,779 much in common with what we already 458 00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:55,110 considered to be legitimate engines in 459 00:20:59,510 --> 00:20:57,810 this case it's also an atomic process 460 00:21:01,580 --> 00:20:59,520 can be very different like we've seen 461 00:21:04,070 --> 00:21:01,590 nature of quantum mechanics another 462 00:21:06,470 --> 00:21:04,080 thing from our macroscopic experience 463 00:21:08,900 --> 00:21:06,480 that that's right this this this invokes 464 00:21:10,730 --> 00:21:08,910 biomechanics and safaris you have you 465 00:21:13,070 --> 00:21:10,740 have band structures and so on yes rival 466 00:21:16,010 --> 00:21:13,080 limited energy states to distribute the 467 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:16,020 time right listen that is the case 468 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:17,970 nonetheless these are not based on 469 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:20,010 fluctuations this is not a Maxwell demon 470 00:21:23,570 --> 00:21:21,810 there's not information being processed 471 00:21:26,780 --> 00:21:23,580 here by some sort of thinking creature 472 00:21:31,090 --> 00:21:26,790 this this this kind of machine doesn't 473 00:21:36,950 --> 00:21:34,760 yeah yes the water falls off the falls 474 00:21:39,020 --> 00:21:36,960 off down damn and Drazen truth and so on 475 00:21:41,060 --> 00:21:39,030 Roger requires another source to get 476 00:21:43,430 --> 00:21:41,070 that water back up to the top okay 477 00:21:44,810 --> 00:21:43,440 sometimes gotta cause rain the rain then 478 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:44,820 falls and he pisses me going is the 479 00:21:50,870 --> 00:21:49,530 sound of driving that's correct okay so 480 00:21:54,530 --> 00:21:50,880 so what you're saying is that you're 481 00:21:56,150 --> 00:21:54,540 you're exhausting a free energy system 482 00:21:57,740 --> 00:21:56,160 which and ultimately is the Sun fusion 483 00:21:58,880 --> 00:21:57,750 energy to create the sunlight which 484 00:22:00,470 --> 00:21:58,890 creates evaporation creates 485 00:22:01,790 --> 00:22:00,480 gravitational potential energy there is 486 00:22:03,260 --> 00:22:01,800 a difference that's right and that's why 487 00:22:05,110 --> 00:22:03,270 I always violates the second law and the 488 00:22:07,460 --> 00:22:05,120 other ones don't is because I was 489 00:22:09,050 --> 00:22:07,470 regenerate themselves through strictly 490 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:09,060 thermal processes and that and so it 491 00:22:11,420 --> 00:22:10,290 kind of begs the question to say well 492 00:22:12,650 --> 00:22:11,430 they're different they are different 493 00:22:15,470 --> 00:22:12,660 because one violate the second law and 494 00:22:25,700 --> 00:22:15,480 the other one doesn't but the processes 495 00:22:31,020 --> 00:22:29,460 that's correct that's right if we're 496 00:22:32,700 --> 00:22:31,030 getting energy out of our system you 497 00:22:34,590 --> 00:22:32,710 actually play the first law against the 498 00:22:36,450 --> 00:22:34,600 second if you can if you can demonstrate 499 00:22:38,490 --> 00:22:36,460 the other work cycle that creates work 500 00:22:39,870 --> 00:22:38,500 there are two places the system can get 501 00:22:41,580 --> 00:22:39,880 work you can get it from internal energy 502 00:22:44,910 --> 00:22:41,590 or can get it from it can get it from 503 00:22:46,170 --> 00:22:44,920 heat and if you if you track all this 504 00:22:47,430 --> 00:22:46,180 around you find that it has to come from 505 00:22:54,780 --> 00:22:47,440 heap because there's no other no other 506 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:54,790 place for it to come really yes that's a 507 00:23:00,000 --> 00:22:56,890 good let's start with that idea okay so 508 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:00,010 let's let's say we had a series of 509 00:23:03,900 --> 00:23:01,570 second law violators and enough to fit 510 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:03,910 into a can size of a coffee can if you 511 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:05,770 were to draw in air from one side at 512 00:23:09,090 --> 00:23:07,450 about five meters a second and then and 513 00:23:11,370 --> 00:23:09,100 then cool the air as it comes to and 514 00:23:13,770 --> 00:23:11,380 loses its the air loses heat of let's 515 00:23:15,630 --> 00:23:13,780 say 10 or 15 degrees on this generator 516 00:23:18,690 --> 00:23:15,640 would produce probably about if you 517 00:23:20,430 --> 00:23:18,700 couple kilowatts of power so you could 518 00:23:21,780 --> 00:23:20,440 basically run a typical us household on 519 00:23:24,540 --> 00:23:21,790 average with something about the size of 520 00:23:27,390 --> 00:23:24,550 a can so what would happen is that it 521 00:23:29,360 --> 00:23:27,400 would draw air in from the room crew it 522 00:23:31,890 --> 00:23:29,370 turn that that heat into electricity 523 00:23:34,500 --> 00:23:31,900 that electricity would be distributed to 524 00:23:36,750 --> 00:23:34,510 the computers to the ovens to the TV 525 00:23:39,390 --> 00:23:36,760 sets to everything else which ultimately 526 00:23:41,220 --> 00:23:39,400 turns up is heat and therefore would 527 00:23:42,930 --> 00:23:41,230 come back into the room so aside from 528 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:42,940 the initial startup of just a little bit 529 00:23:48,270 --> 00:23:46,170 of cooling your room runs basically 530 00:23:51,120 --> 00:23:48,280 perpetually by just on its own heat 531 00:23:53,990 --> 00:23:51,130 recycling it your air conditioner runs 532 00:23:58,850 --> 00:23:54,000 the rest of your house that's right yeah 533 00:24:04,620 --> 00:24:02,540 resources they seem to think that it's 534 00:24:06,180 --> 00:24:04,630 sufficient to demonstrate that you can 535 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:06,190 produce eat because then you can run a 536 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:07,810 car no end or something more 537 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:11,410 sophisticated if your second law 538 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:14,890 violators are drawing on to produce 539 00:24:22,140 --> 00:24:18,970 their motion burning image is not going 540 00:24:25,020 --> 00:24:22,150 to be very useful so how do you plan to 541 00:24:30,940 --> 00:24:25,030 get any energy out of this astronomical 542 00:24:37,490 --> 00:24:33,890 right this this in principle this can be 543 00:24:39,230 --> 00:24:37,500 written series of parallel to to build 544 00:24:41,780 --> 00:24:39,240 applied your current advantages in 545 00:24:43,910 --> 00:24:41,790 principle you could your various ways an 546 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:43,920 extract of taking this mechanical energy 547 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:45,210 and transducing it you can use piezo 548 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:46,770 electrics you could use faraday 549 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:48,650 induction their various ideas for that 550 00:24:52,790 --> 00:24:50,730 but there are other other ways of 551 00:24:54,140 --> 00:24:52,800 exploiting this these potential 552 00:24:55,970 --> 00:24:54,150 differences to you can use them to drive 553 00:24:57,170 --> 00:24:55,980 a lot of chemical reactions so in 554 00:24:58,970 --> 00:24:57,180 principle you could you could have gas 555 00:25:00,140 --> 00:24:58,980 phase I on a chemical reactions which 556 00:25:01,910 --> 00:25:00,150 are being driven and so you could just 557 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:01,920 have a small Power Cell here recycles 558 00:25:06,410 --> 00:25:04,770 chemicals through using these electric 559 00:25:08,030 --> 00:25:06,420 fields to build a pyre energy chemical 560 00:25:10,010 --> 00:25:08,040 products which are then burnt and then 561 00:25:11,120 --> 00:25:10,020 create electricity that way so in that 562 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:11,130 sense you wouldn't even have to build 563 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:12,570 microscopic devices you can post only 564 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:14,970 macroscopic basically a specialized 565 00:25:18,410 --> 00:25:16,890 catalyst so this is mainly for 566 00:25:19,910 --> 00:25:18,420 demonstration purposes this is something 567 00:25:21,290 --> 00:25:19,920 that could be tested and demonstrate the 568 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:21,300 principle and there will be a lot of 569 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:23,210 environment so that I suspect I presume 570 00:25:38,900 --> 00:25:25,530 could we get you to swap these and all 571 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:38,910 yesterday I have a question yes I'll be 572 00:25:47,450 --> 00:25:42,450 so zero point energy systems predicated 573 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:47,460 upon closed systems or open systems over 574 00:25:52,340 --> 00:25:49,530 there are based on closed system where 575 00:25:59,330 --> 00:25:52,350 is an example of closed system and if 576 00:26:02,360 --> 00:25:59,340 they are based an open system how I 577 00:26:04,910 --> 00:26:02,370 thought of a captain nope or give a 578 00:26:07,370 --> 00:26:04,920 second law devices at this point I yeah 579 00:26:08,330 --> 00:26:07,380 but I mean yeah also O'Gara can probe 580 00:26:11,630 --> 00:26:08,340 dirty could probably answer that 581 00:26:14,350 --> 00:26:11,640 question well discussion zero-point 582 00:26:16,330 --> 00:26:14,360 energy casa para show 583 00:26:18,730 --> 00:26:16,340 upon a gradient that exists in nature 584 00:26:20,350 --> 00:26:18,740 that is the difference between me zero 585 00:26:21,970 --> 00:26:20,360 point energy outside Casper Academy this 586 00:26:24,010 --> 00:26:21,980 stuff it's very different dad's talking 587 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:24,020 about I think we finally finishing this 588 00:26:28,360 --> 00:26:25,850 custom second law before you answer to 589 00:26:31,870 --> 00:26:28,370 discussion about internal energy but 590 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:31,880 everything thermal energy going 591 00:26:38,740 --> 00:26:36,650 someplace and that must be believed 592 00:26:46,710 --> 00:26:38,750 no it's nothing to do it 593 00:26:52,210 --> 00:26:50,529 boiling of water well it dissipates into 594 00:26:59,940 --> 00:26:52,220 the environment in a way that we just 595 00:27:03,310 --> 00:26:59,950 don't recognize where it goes well it 596 00:27:06,610 --> 00:27:03,320 within our system here that the earth 597 00:27:08,230 --> 00:27:06,620 radiates heat out into space on the dark 598 00:27:14,590 --> 00:27:08,240 side of the planet when the Sun isn't 599 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:14,600 shining light no no not really no the 600 00:27:20,710 --> 00:27:16,970 earth is actually a giant here a giant 601 00:27:24,250 --> 00:27:20,720 heat engine if you want to look at 0 602 00:27:29,740 --> 00:27:24,260 plan or geo resources they were then for 603 00:27:31,779 --> 00:27:29,750 boggy he's dissipated it it diffuses 604 00:27:34,090 --> 00:27:31,789 into out into the solar system in 605 00:27:36,850 --> 00:27:34,100 universe where is that distant points in 606 00:27:38,529 --> 00:27:36,860 our galaxy we can look and some other 607 00:27:40,029 --> 00:27:38,539 intelligent being can look this way and 608 00:27:42,190 --> 00:27:40,039 say oh I see a fair amount of infrared 609 00:27:46,590 --> 00:27:42,200 energy coming off those planets by this 610 00:27:54,370 --> 00:27:46,600 star we call the sign here so it's it 611 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:54,380 sure sure it's legitimate that's allow 612 00:27:59,140 --> 00:27:56,570 me to cool the only discussion first 613 00:28:02,080 --> 00:27:59,150 second yep if anybody in the audience 614 00:28:04,360 --> 00:28:02,090 has not picked up a package of sse 615 00:28:07,870 --> 00:28:04,370 business cards give your friends and 616 00:28:11,490 --> 00:28:07,880 neighbors i've got a few left so please 617 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:11,500 come see me if you haven't picked one up 618 00:28:21,870 --> 00:28:17,330 hang on hang on I'm not done my biggest 619 00:28:25,450 --> 00:28:21,880 concern with all of this is the 620 00:28:28,510 --> 00:28:25,460 emotional political influence on good 621 00:28:30,460 --> 00:28:28,520 science that is to a large extent 622 00:28:33,580 --> 00:28:30,470 ripping this country and the rest of the 623 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:33,590 world apart Spain is going broke because 624 00:28:42,010 --> 00:28:37,610 they invested heavily in windmills acres 625 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:42,020 and square miles of photovoltaic oval 626 00:28:49,630 --> 00:28:47,330 take energy systems are stupid what I 627 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:49,640 expect to happen is we'll have all the 628 00:28:55,570 --> 00:28:52,130 deserts covered with photocells and 629 00:28:57,490 --> 00:28:55,580 windmills on every corner and then cold 630 00:28:59,230 --> 00:28:57,500 fusion will go commercial 631 00:29:01,390 --> 00:28:59,240 will be the end of it well another thing 632 00:29:03,130 --> 00:29:01,400 will what another thing will stall the 633 00:29:05,350 --> 00:29:03,140 wind and solar is that we still haven't 634 00:29:09,070 --> 00:29:05,360 solved the storage problem of nights and 635 00:29:10,540 --> 00:29:09,080 storm buddy well when we draw on some of 636 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:10,550 the expertise in the audience what where 637 00:29:14,710 --> 00:29:13,010 do you see sociologically what do you 638 00:29:16,930 --> 00:29:14,720 think the ramifications would be of a 639 00:29:18,460 --> 00:29:16,940 breakthrough in this is it would it be 640 00:29:21,790 --> 00:29:18,470 ignored would it be embraced would it be 641 00:29:23,650 --> 00:29:21,800 squashed with you that's a really good 642 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:23,660 question I wanted to dance ask that all 643 00:29:32,590 --> 00:29:29,570 day today I in the classes I have a Utah 644 00:29:36,700 --> 00:29:32,600 Valley University I teach about you know 645 00:29:38,860 --> 00:29:36,710 these kinds of a zero-point field and 646 00:29:41,020 --> 00:29:38,870 all of these different things to get 647 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:41,030 energy and the question I asked because 648 00:29:47,530 --> 00:29:42,850 one of them asked that very question 649 00:29:52,330 --> 00:29:47,540 what are the sociological ramifications 650 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:52,340 of being successful and we make that a 651 00:29:56,980 --> 00:29:55,490 group project to decide what would be 652 00:29:59,830 --> 00:29:56,990 the things one of the one of the thought 653 00:30:05,170 --> 00:29:59,840 experiments is suppose you do get good 654 00:30:06,910 --> 00:30:05,180 clean energy unlimited what walk down 655 00:30:10,210 --> 00:30:06,920 the street or drive down the street and 656 00:30:12,970 --> 00:30:10,220 say what would still be there and what 657 00:30:15,340 --> 00:30:12,980 would be gone and so that's a very good 658 00:30:19,330 --> 00:30:15,350 question what most of the things that 659 00:30:20,860 --> 00:30:19,340 they say is everybody's going to lose 660 00:30:22,750 --> 00:30:20,870 their job and that's the thing that 661 00:30:25,210 --> 00:30:22,760 they're worried about course now they're 662 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:25,220 speaking from half of them not having a 663 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:27,530 job at the present time that's right 664 00:30:31,540 --> 00:30:29,450 well that was a case with the origin 665 00:30:33,550 --> 00:30:31,550 carriage and disagree with you deal you 666 00:30:35,110 --> 00:30:33,560 can look closer far all right Kim I'm 667 00:30:37,030 --> 00:30:35,120 sorry yeah it's a wee front through that 668 00:30:39,430 --> 00:30:37,040 situation time and time again with the 669 00:30:40,780 --> 00:30:39,440 evolution of society just a hundred 670 00:30:43,060 --> 00:30:40,790 years ago the horse and carriage 671 00:30:45,730 --> 00:30:43,070 industry when essentially closed their 672 00:30:47,110 --> 00:30:45,740 business one tenth of what it was at the 673 00:30:48,970 --> 00:30:47,120 introduction of the automobile yet 674 00:30:51,610 --> 00:30:48,980 history recounts no losers of people 675 00:30:53,020 --> 00:30:51,620 being left behind and how about say six 676 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:53,030 hundred years ago when I pane glass 677 00:30:57,130 --> 00:30:55,130 windows were invented and that the 678 00:31:00,550 --> 00:30:57,140 candle makers guild were put out of 679 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:00,560 business history recounts no losers 680 00:31:04,750 --> 00:31:02,210 there they just had to change their 681 00:31:06,700 --> 00:31:04,760 careers right and but you can 682 00:31:08,710 --> 00:31:06,710 but you can see short-term problems 683 00:31:11,950 --> 00:31:08,720 certainly I mean if you were to let's 684 00:31:13,660 --> 00:31:11,960 say if a burn Ian and Garrett are 685 00:31:16,090 --> 00:31:13,670 successful and they can create let's say 686 00:31:18,010 --> 00:31:16,100 a handheld device that can put out five 687 00:31:19,810 --> 00:31:18,020 kilowatts of power or one of our devices 688 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:19,820 second our devices ken's or someone 689 00:31:25,860 --> 00:31:22,090 else's does the same you could basically 690 00:31:29,230 --> 00:31:25,870 unplug almost a commercial buildings and 691 00:31:30,820 --> 00:31:29,240 it houses all residential from the grid 692 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:30,830 you would you would do away with the oil 693 00:31:35,290 --> 00:31:33,290 and gas industry you would see the 694 00:31:37,090 --> 00:31:35,300 influence of the mideast disappeared 695 00:31:40,110 --> 00:31:37,100 those they would disappear back into the 696 00:31:42,070 --> 00:31:40,120 sands on it would it would destabilize 697 00:31:44,950 --> 00:31:42,080 geopolitically large parts of the world 698 00:31:46,830 --> 00:31:44,960 Russia would loses influence with with 699 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:46,840 its gas production over Western Europe 700 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:49,370 well how the holiday regain their 701 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:51,170 stature if they don't have an economical 702 00:31:54,970 --> 00:31:52,250 ever would they have with you become 703 00:31:57,700 --> 00:31:54,980 military there be all sorts of very 704 00:31:58,930 --> 00:31:57,710 profound changes at the same time you 705 00:32:00,910 --> 00:31:58,940 would he would you you could possibly 706 00:32:02,380 --> 00:32:00,920 lower if you had unlimited amounts of 707 00:32:04,750 --> 00:32:02,390 energy available to you you could start 708 00:32:06,970 --> 00:32:04,760 making co2 scrubbers bring the co2 back 709 00:32:11,410 --> 00:32:06,980 down 270 parts per million rather than 710 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:11,420 380 where it is now you could forestall 711 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:14,210 a global warming cool the oceans you do 712 00:32:18,430 --> 00:32:16,730 all sorts of things clean water you 713 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:18,440 would if you could purify water or 714 00:32:21,130 --> 00:32:20,090 simply condense it out of the air you 715 00:32:22,420 --> 00:32:21,140 would solve though you know an average 716 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:22,430 person in the world spends two or three 717 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:24,410 hours in poor countries looking for 718 00:32:28,150 --> 00:32:26,090 water every day you transform everything 719 00:32:29,020 --> 00:32:28,160 good and bad but certainly be disruptive 720 00:32:30,730 --> 00:32:29,030 and I can't think of anything more 721 00:32:33,070 --> 00:32:30,740 disruptive than changing the way energy 722 00:32:35,710 --> 00:32:33,080 is produced and once energy becomes free 723 00:32:37,540 --> 00:32:35,720 we can solve the water crises in many 724 00:32:39,730 --> 00:32:37,550 places the world and the food run albums 725 00:32:41,980 --> 00:32:39,740 to write energies behind everything 726 00:32:43,660 --> 00:32:41,990 closer to shirt on your back well every 727 00:32:45,730 --> 00:32:43,670 every every spoonful of food you put 728 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:45,740 into your mouth has roughly 20 grams of 729 00:32:49,450 --> 00:32:47,210 petroleum behind it in terms of 730 00:32:50,770 --> 00:32:49,460 transportation costs fertilizer or 731 00:32:52,630 --> 00:32:50,780 grilling costs and all that so you're 732 00:32:54,340 --> 00:32:52,640 putting 20 grams of oil into your mouth 733 00:32:58,480 --> 00:32:54,350 every time you take a spoonful of food 734 00:33:01,540 --> 00:32:58,490 it's just it's tremendous places where 735 00:33:03,340 --> 00:33:01,550 the energy goes that's all right my name 736 00:33:06,060 --> 00:33:03,350 is John ran with open minds and open 737 00:33:09,330 --> 00:33:06,070 minds TV 738 00:33:11,670 --> 00:33:09,340 there's a couple of energy sources that 739 00:33:15,900 --> 00:33:11,680 I wanted you to be aware of one of them 740 00:33:20,970 --> 00:33:15,910 was a patent by jaeger lecoultre they 741 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:20,980 invented an Atmos clock and an atlas 742 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:24,610 clock using a accordion type cylinder 743 00:33:31,110 --> 00:33:27,730 which expanded and contracted with 744 00:33:34,820 --> 00:33:31,120 temperature changes one of those little 745 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:34,830 cylinders the sight of the size of a 746 00:33:40,980 --> 00:33:38,770 teacup can actually lift a human being 747 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:40,990 just by changing the temperature with a 748 00:33:47,250 --> 00:33:44,770 little can of air spray that that was 749 00:33:50,730 --> 00:33:47,260 called a perpetual clock and that 750 00:33:56,010 --> 00:33:50,740 technology exists the other one is using 751 00:34:00,420 --> 00:33:56,020 solar park xerox a year ago came out 752 00:34:03,690 --> 00:34:00,430 with a new type of a satellite it looked 753 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:03,700 like a second dish but it focused a beam 754 00:34:10,770 --> 00:34:08,290 to to a type of element which was 100 755 00:34:13,530 --> 00:34:10,780 times more efficient than anything that 756 00:34:17,190 --> 00:34:13,540 we have in solar cells that patent was 757 00:34:20,310 --> 00:34:17,200 sold for over 100 million dollars last 758 00:34:23,220 --> 00:34:20,320 year I couldn't get the the type of 759 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:23,230 material it used but that's uh that's 760 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:26,050 probably one of the interesting things 761 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:28,810 about the solar panel another one is the 762 00:34:35,550 --> 00:34:31,930 bloom box these boom boxes are appearing 763 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:35,560 in front of google and ebay and a 764 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:38,410 tremendous amount of energy output for a 765 00:34:43,940 --> 00:34:41,290 very small amount of resources going in 766 00:34:47,910 --> 00:34:43,950 almost working on almost any type of 767 00:34:49,860 --> 00:34:47,920 fuel are any of you aware of this yeah 768 00:34:51,510 --> 00:34:49,870 all of those are free energy sources 769 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:51,520 though they all require free energy 770 00:34:54,660 --> 00:34:53,050 they're not going to store more 771 00:34:56,250 --> 00:34:54,670 efficient maybe but they're not the 772 00:34:59,160 --> 00:34:56,260 bloom back city is talking about is 773 00:35:01,140 --> 00:34:59,170 actually a very successful commercial 774 00:35:02,700 --> 00:35:01,150 fuel cell but they're still there's 775 00:35:04,380 --> 00:35:02,710 still a fuel cell I know that's right 776 00:35:06,150 --> 00:35:04,390 now so I think there's still some where 777 00:35:08,190 --> 00:35:06,160 around sixty percent efficiency and 778 00:35:10,450 --> 00:35:08,200 forty percent test to be discharged as 779 00:35:13,060 --> 00:35:10,460 heat into the environment I mean it 780 00:35:14,020 --> 00:35:13,070 comment2 about the solar concentrating 781 00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:14,030 solar cause you no good whatsoever 782 00:35:18,430 --> 00:35:16,130 because you only have so much watts per 783 00:35:20,170 --> 00:35:18,440 square meter and that's that's it in 784 00:35:22,500 --> 00:35:20,180 concentrate if you want to and they have 785 00:35:24,820 --> 00:35:22,510 some effect on the efficiency of the 786 00:35:26,890 --> 00:35:24,830 conversion but you're limited by the 787 00:35:28,030 --> 00:35:26,900 amount of the solar energy coming per 788 00:35:30,579 --> 00:35:28,040 square meter you can't do anything about 789 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:30,589 that move the earth closer to the Sun 790 00:35:35,589 --> 00:35:33,650 you by the way that clock they're 791 00:35:37,660 --> 00:35:35,599 talking about that operates with the 792 00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:37,670 bellows is just simply it's a heat 793 00:35:42,010 --> 00:35:39,650 engine that operates over a day long 794 00:35:44,740 --> 00:35:42,020 cycle of absorbing heat and getting rid 795 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:44,750 of heat that concept of centuries-old 796 00:35:53,740 --> 00:35:48,530 actually um my name is John rhythm the 797 00:35:56,470 --> 00:35:53,750 treasure of SSC comment and question is 798 00:35:59,200 --> 00:35:56,480 this we've been discussing a new energy 799 00:36:02,800 --> 00:35:59,210 sources and it's it seems like the focus 800 00:36:05,290 --> 00:36:02,810 has been on rather exotic and the 801 00:36:10,089 --> 00:36:05,300 sources such as the cpe Casimir effect 802 00:36:15,599 --> 00:36:10,099 and others I'm wondering and if if you 803 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:15,609 could tell the audience if there's any 804 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:18,290 very revolutionary research being done 805 00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:21,170 on fuels that can be used in 806 00:36:25,540 --> 00:36:23,570 conventional engines that already exist 807 00:36:28,690 --> 00:36:25,550 and are being used worldwide such as 808 00:36:32,020 --> 00:36:28,700 internal combustion engines and an 809 00:36:34,660 --> 00:36:32,030 especially fuels like the use of 810 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:34,670 hydrogen which the Germans were using in 811 00:36:40,060 --> 00:36:36,970 World War two when they didn't have 812 00:36:43,690 --> 00:36:40,070 petroleum sources of fuel to operate 813 00:36:46,380 --> 00:36:43,700 their combustion engine so it do you 814 00:36:51,750 --> 00:36:46,390 have any research is being done on 815 00:36:55,950 --> 00:36:51,760 methods of hydrolysis of water or other 816 00:36:59,560 --> 00:36:55,960 such you know fairly freely available 817 00:37:02,170 --> 00:36:59,570 substances that we have so that the that 818 00:37:04,810 --> 00:37:02,180 it could produce essentially a free 819 00:37:07,240 --> 00:37:04,820 source of energy by mate because the 820 00:37:10,060 --> 00:37:07,250 source of the fuel would be so cheap but 821 00:37:11,859 --> 00:37:10,070 could through hydrolysis have a source 822 00:37:13,810 --> 00:37:11,869 of hydrogen that could go into the 823 00:37:15,190 --> 00:37:13,820 internal combustion engines and and 824 00:37:17,050 --> 00:37:15,200 operate 825 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:17,060 you know with conventional technology 826 00:37:21,670 --> 00:37:18,770 without some of the exotics that we've 827 00:37:25,180 --> 00:37:21,680 been discussing I just I think number of 828 00:37:28,900 --> 00:37:25,190 us will give you responses one I like a 829 00:37:33,839 --> 00:37:28,910 lot is an air powered car something 830 00:37:39,730 --> 00:37:33,849 that's been worked on connect a french 831 00:37:42,190 --> 00:37:39,740 engineer for quite a long time and my 832 00:37:44,050 --> 00:37:42,200 thermodynamics class we actually started 833 00:37:47,530 --> 00:37:44,060 off the class by doing an analysis of 834 00:37:51,220 --> 00:37:47,540 his engine and see how much energy you 835 00:37:54,790 --> 00:37:51,230 can get and it's very small but it's 836 00:37:59,530 --> 00:37:54,800 actually practical and he's now building 837 00:38:01,990 --> 00:37:59,540 these in tanta the Indian today our car 838 00:38:04,060 --> 00:38:02,000 maker has contracted with in there 839 00:38:06,460 --> 00:38:04,070 apparently in production for these 840 00:38:12,550 --> 00:38:06,470 air-powered cars they do think of have a 841 00:38:14,620 --> 00:38:12,560 fuel backup as well that's one minor you 842 00:38:16,839 --> 00:38:14,630 get a little bit more mileage afib used 843 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:16,849 a store liquid nitrogen on board as 844 00:38:20,859 --> 00:38:18,770 opposed to just compressed air because 845 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:20,869 then you can enlist thermal energy to 846 00:38:25,990 --> 00:38:24,530 boil for the ln2 I would think it 847 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:26,000 puzzles me is why we don't make more use 848 00:38:29,740 --> 00:38:27,770 of the same technologies being used in 849 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:29,750 Brazil instead of using corn to make 850 00:38:34,510 --> 00:38:32,690 ethanol there's very not very very 851 00:38:36,069 --> 00:38:34,520 efficient and clear but they're actually 852 00:38:37,390 --> 00:38:36,079 gaining anything by doing that why are 853 00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:37,400 we not using sugar cane which is about 854 00:38:40,270 --> 00:38:38,450 competitive 855 00:38:46,089 --> 00:38:40,280 vision it's made Latrell pretty much 856 00:38:48,250 --> 00:38:46,099 energy okay then i would say that even 857 00:38:49,990 --> 00:38:48,260 if you could find these fuels your 858 00:38:51,430 --> 00:38:50,000 there's still free energy sources which 859 00:38:53,950 --> 00:38:51,440 have an efficiency associated with them 860 00:38:56,319 --> 00:38:53,960 which is thermodynamically mandated and 861 00:38:58,420 --> 00:38:56,329 so if you can improve your efficiency by 862 00:39:00,220 --> 00:38:58,430 ten percent fine then you drive an SUV 863 00:39:02,819 --> 00:39:00,230 which uses twenty percent more gas as a 864 00:39:05,170 --> 00:39:02,829 result in you're simply behind the curve 865 00:39:08,170 --> 00:39:05,180 even the way energy is being used right 866 00:39:12,130 --> 00:39:08,180 now and the demand for it there will not 867 00:39:14,109 --> 00:39:12,140 be enough by the conventional sources or 868 00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:14,119 even the ones or anything like the 869 00:39:17,260 --> 00:39:15,770 conventional sources and if we use them 870 00:39:27,819 --> 00:39:17,270 as we are currently using will destroy 871 00:39:29,410 --> 00:39:27,829 the planet that's right 200 yes okay let 872 00:39:32,050 --> 00:39:29,420 me out let me address that directly yeah 873 00:39:34,180 --> 00:39:32,060 if you tip if you want to break if you 874 00:39:35,650 --> 00:39:34,190 want to if you want to break water down 875 00:39:37,420 --> 00:39:35,660 into hydrogen and oxygen it requires 876 00:39:39,550 --> 00:39:37,430 energy to do so which means you have to 877 00:39:40,720 --> 00:39:39,560 provide that electrical energy and that 878 00:39:42,220 --> 00:39:40,730 electrical energy would come from the 879 00:39:43,809 --> 00:39:42,230 burning of coal or gas or oil or 880 00:39:45,309 --> 00:39:43,819 something else and that in itself is 881 00:39:47,589 --> 00:39:45,319 going to be inefficient and then you go 882 00:39:49,089 --> 00:39:47,599 through the extra step of breaking down 883 00:39:51,099 --> 00:39:49,099 the gas and you have to pressurize 884 00:39:52,180 --> 00:39:51,109 accrue it all of that in the end it 885 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:52,190 doesn't do you any good all does is 886 00:39:55,750 --> 00:39:53,810 remove the pollution source from one 887 00:40:23,220 --> 00:39:55,760 place to another but but it doesn't get 888 00:40:28,500 --> 00:40:26,280 okay sure if you if you if you use the 889 00:40:30,590 --> 00:40:28,510 catalyst interview to question the and 890 00:40:33,300 --> 00:40:30,600 your if are there any are there any 891 00:40:34,770 --> 00:40:33,310 breakthroughs breakthroughs that can be 892 00:40:37,020 --> 00:40:34,780 used with conventional energy sources 893 00:40:39,540 --> 00:40:37,030 for instance electrolysis of water let's 894 00:40:41,670 --> 00:40:39,550 say catalogs breakdown of it yes the 895 00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:41,680 catalysts don't shift the equilibrium 896 00:40:45,450 --> 00:40:43,330 they don't they don't give you any extra 897 00:40:46,770 --> 00:40:45,460 or any free energy so you're still going 898 00:40:47,970 --> 00:40:46,780 to have to pay the energy costs of 899 00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:47,980 breaking it down you might be able to do 900 00:40:51,150 --> 00:40:49,570 it more efficiently more quickly you can 901 00:40:52,260 --> 00:40:51,160 lower the activation energy for doing so 902 00:40:54,240 --> 00:40:52,270 you're not going to change the actual 903 00:40:57,720 --> 00:40:54,250 energy costs in doing so so you're just 904 00:40:59,820 --> 00:40:57,730 adding to that you know there if you 905 00:41:02,460 --> 00:40:59,830 look online you'll find a number of 906 00:41:04,770 --> 00:41:02,470 water powered cars yes I was about to 907 00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:04,780 say we need to address that i stand here 908 00:41:09,420 --> 00:41:07,450 saying that as rush i do took you you 909 00:41:12,240 --> 00:41:09,430 can you can look at a person farming 910 00:41:14,550 --> 00:41:12,250 table for water and just as daniel said 911 00:41:16,470 --> 00:41:14,560 you know no matter how you get from here 912 00:41:19,140 --> 00:41:16,480 to there there's just a certain amount 913 00:41:22,650 --> 00:41:19,150 of energy involved in in the bonding 914 00:41:24,450 --> 00:41:22,660 process and we can't change that now it 915 00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:24,460 may be possible that adding water 916 00:41:29,910 --> 00:41:27,970 gasoline improves Oh yo stepped out 917 00:41:32,450 --> 00:41:29,920 religions that's been demonstrated him 918 00:41:36,390 --> 00:41:32,460 statuses and that's been demonstrated 919 00:41:38,940 --> 00:41:36,400 but there are there let me tell you one 920 00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:38,950 that actually does work and excuse me 921 00:41:42,870 --> 00:41:41,530 Olga was in my class for quoting 922 00:41:46,140 --> 00:41:42,880 something else from the class that was 923 00:41:49,500 --> 00:41:46,150 we were thinking what happens if you 924 00:41:52,490 --> 00:41:49,510 take water and you evaporate it that 925 00:41:54,900 --> 00:41:52,500 will cool that will give you 926 00:41:58,890 --> 00:41:54,910 cult which is the opposite of a female 927 00:42:00,990 --> 00:41:58,900 my guest yes and then you use that with 928 00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:01,000 a Stirling engine or some some attention 929 00:42:04,980 --> 00:42:03,370 and you use the cold that you jam it 930 00:42:07,410 --> 00:42:04,990 doesn't matter if you put heat in or 931 00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:07,420 take it out it's still flow that's all 932 00:42:17,850 --> 00:42:11,650 right I just want to oh so let's say 933 00:42:20,670 --> 00:42:17,860 that you sew into it you make you make a 934 00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:20,680 gradient so you've got cold and eat and 935 00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:23,290 you use that to drive a Stirling engine 936 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:24,850 or something like that could you 937 00:42:29,790 --> 00:42:27,010 actually end up with a net energy game 938 00:42:31,980 --> 00:42:29,800 and the answer is yes you actually could 939 00:42:34,050 --> 00:42:31,990 build a motor that would work like this 940 00:42:35,790 --> 00:42:34,060 so then we did the calculation how much 941 00:42:38,820 --> 00:42:35,800 water would you need compared with 942 00:42:40,710 --> 00:42:38,830 gasoline so if you had a car running 943 00:42:41,820 --> 00:42:40,720 around instead of having a gas tank you 944 00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:41,830 at a water tank which you've evaporated 945 00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:44,050 it turns out it's about a factor of 100 946 00:42:50,070 --> 00:42:47,650 more than you need for gasoline so it 947 00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:50,080 really is not practical for a car engine 948 00:42:58,160 --> 00:42:56,050 however for a boat I don't know hello 949 00:43:00,240 --> 00:42:58,170 it's left if I to follow up on that 950 00:43:02,700 --> 00:43:00,250 exactly you're just saying first of all 951 00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:02,710 I appreciate the comment by Dan about 952 00:43:07,620 --> 00:43:05,770 efficiency that just getting more energy 953 00:43:09,090 --> 00:43:07,630 isn't going to change our consumption of 954 00:43:11,910 --> 00:43:09,100 it we do also have to focus on being 955 00:43:12,900 --> 00:43:11,920 efficient and using it well if we're 956 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:12,910 going to ever solve the underlying 957 00:43:18,450 --> 00:43:16,810 problem but I just have this idea in and 958 00:43:20,550 --> 00:43:18,460 I it's not my fluid extra peat expertise 959 00:43:24,140 --> 00:43:20,560 so maybe I'll sound stupid but it's a 960 00:43:26,550 --> 00:43:24,150 good idea I don't when we burn gasoline 961 00:43:29,130 --> 00:43:26,560 it's a very primitive way of extracting 962 00:43:30,720 --> 00:43:29,140 the energy from the gasoline not cool or 963 00:43:33,570 --> 00:43:30,730 burning wood or things like that is 964 00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:33,580 other ways to perform the same chemical 965 00:43:38,820 --> 00:43:36,970 reactions in very efficient ways that 966 00:43:40,500 --> 00:43:38,830 are not called burning that sure you 967 00:43:41,850 --> 00:43:40,510 just make fuel cells for instance which 968 00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:41,860 would be highly efficient you know sixty 969 00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:44,290 eighty percent efficient I assume where 970 00:43:48,210 --> 00:43:46,210 you're you're not having to go through a 971 00:43:51,660 --> 00:43:48,220 work cycle in the same way yeah you can 972 00:43:53,970 --> 00:43:51,670 you could make ya a la hydrogen oxygen 973 00:43:55,740 --> 00:43:53,980 fuel cell is theoretically eighty-six 974 00:43:57,960 --> 00:43:55,750 percent efficient yeah but I'm 975 00:44:00,780 --> 00:43:57,970 suggesting literally breaking down the 976 00:44:01,370 --> 00:44:00,790 same gasoline molecules so if you use 977 00:44:03,500 --> 00:44:01,380 the same few 978 00:44:05,750 --> 00:44:03,510 and it doesn't produce a gaseous co2 and 979 00:44:08,210 --> 00:44:05,760 we can capture the carbon and because 980 00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:08,220 it's some kind of digestive process well 981 00:44:11,570 --> 00:44:09,450 sure if you could find a way to capture 982 00:44:14,240 --> 00:44:11,580 the carbon and as co2 sure that'd be 983 00:44:16,130 --> 00:44:14,250 great it's sequester it I assume that be 984 00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:16,140 possible sure well it's a lesson has to 985 00:44:19,670 --> 00:44:17,850 be gashes the real question is modeling 986 00:44:21,230 --> 00:44:19,680 you know our energy sources off of the 987 00:44:22,460 --> 00:44:21,240 way we digest food in the way that you 988 00:44:24,620 --> 00:44:22,470 know those chemical reactions happen 989 00:44:25,910 --> 00:44:24,630 rather than burning as a fundamental but 990 00:44:27,950 --> 00:44:25,920 I think fuel cell is probably one of the 991 00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:27,960 best ways to go on up yes our muscles 992 00:44:32,990 --> 00:44:30,690 are actually about 80 our muscles are 993 00:44:36,290 --> 00:44:33,000 about thirty percent efficient and 994 00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:36,300 conversion of hydrocarbons into muscle 995 00:44:41,630 --> 00:44:39,330 work and yet that's done with much lower 996 00:44:43,460 --> 00:44:41,640 temperatures than an engine but it's a 997 00:44:45,430 --> 00:44:43,470 whole different process of tapping that 998 00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:45,440 energy to Gibbs free energy 999 00:44:57,260 --> 00:44:48,330 transformation as opposed to a thermal 1000 00:45:06,110 --> 00:44:57,270 one combined it it's it's a battery with 1001 00:45:07,700 --> 00:45:06,120 potentially unlimited reactants yeah 1002 00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:07,710 there are many different types although 1003 00:45:11,180 --> 00:45:09,570 the hydrogen oxygen when is the cleanest 1004 00:45:13,580 --> 00:45:11,190 and the least susceptible to following 1005 00:45:16,850 --> 00:45:13,590 we still haven't solved the problem with 1006 00:45:18,230 --> 00:45:16,860 that dirty carbon-carbon bond place like 1007 00:45:20,300 --> 00:45:18,240 Iceland we have lots of geothermal 1008 00:45:21,620 --> 00:45:20,310 energy you can use that to bring the 1009 00:45:23,810 --> 00:45:21,630 part of the water and hydrogen oxygen 1010 00:45:25,490 --> 00:45:23,820 many values that to run your car's fuel 1011 00:45:26,750 --> 00:45:25,500 cell but you're actually then running 1012 00:45:28,059 --> 00:45:26,760 things off with the diff there whenever 1013 00:45:31,780 --> 00:45:28,069 you coming from 1014 00:45:39,220 --> 00:45:34,240 it sounds like it's time for me to go to 1015 00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:39,230 war on two fronts first Garrett recently 1016 00:45:43,750 --> 00:45:41,210 over the last five years like I worked 1017 00:45:45,730 --> 00:45:43,760 with a man that built air powered cars 1018 00:45:49,900 --> 00:45:45,740 you want to take a guess what a standard 1019 00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:49,910 high pressure gas tank the stand-up tank 1020 00:45:58,270 --> 00:45:54,530 with a screw off top with air at 3,000 1021 00:46:01,030 --> 00:45:58,280 psi what the energy storage value of 1022 00:46:02,980 --> 00:46:01,040 that is the calculations it's very 1023 00:46:05,710 --> 00:46:02,990 little that's one works roughly one 1024 00:46:09,070 --> 00:46:05,720 horsepower ality it's a much lower 1025 00:46:13,060 --> 00:46:09,080 density far lowered as a fuel source 1026 00:46:16,420 --> 00:46:13,070 than gasoline I guess this French 1027 00:46:19,720 --> 00:46:16,430 compressed air vehicle I've watched that 1028 00:46:24,430 --> 00:46:19,730 thing for like five years when you load 1029 00:46:26,050 --> 00:46:24,440 that thing up with 4500 PSI air you 1030 00:46:29,500 --> 00:46:26,060 increase the weight of the vehicle by 1031 00:46:32,590 --> 00:46:29,510 about 750 pounds and if one of those 1032 00:46:34,930 --> 00:46:32,600 tanks ruptures you either have the 1033 00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:34,940 world's most colossal rocket in center 1034 00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:38,930 city or one loud ass explosion yeah okay 1035 00:46:43,510 --> 00:46:42,050 that's what if it's hard it's hard to be 1036 00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:43,520 gasoline I mean when you look at the 1037 00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:45,050 actual chemical energy and gasoline is 1038 00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:46,370 higher when it's burned than high 1039 00:46:49,930 --> 00:46:48,170 explosives literally when you're feeling 1040 00:46:51,430 --> 00:46:49,940 your car up with gasoline you might as 1041 00:46:53,620 --> 00:46:51,440 well be filling it up with with the 1042 00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:53,630 plastique and you're just blowing your 1043 00:46:56,020 --> 00:46:54,770 way down the highway in a series of 1044 00:46:59,110 --> 00:46:56,030 explosions that's tremendously 1045 00:47:01,900 --> 00:46:59,120 energy-intensive right great admiration 1046 00:47:07,060 --> 00:47:01,910 respect for gasoline yeah I always start 1047 00:47:08,890 --> 00:47:07,070 fires with kerosene I Daniel I want to 1048 00:47:13,740 --> 00:47:08,900 take it one in two subjects number one 1049 00:47:16,990 --> 00:47:13,750 co2 is not a pollutant it's plain food 1050 00:47:18,970 --> 00:47:17,000 it's plant food without which pollutant 1051 00:47:23,650 --> 00:47:18,980 is a resource that is out of place that 1052 00:47:26,770 --> 00:47:23,660 includes quantity well look what the 1053 00:47:30,130 --> 00:47:26,780 quantity is very debatable because 1054 00:47:33,340 --> 00:47:30,140 apparently the the greenhouse effect 1055 00:47:36,550 --> 00:47:33,350 falls off with increased concentration 1056 00:47:38,290 --> 00:47:36,560 and Jay and water vapor is farmers yeah 1057 00:47:39,820 --> 00:47:38,300 well you might take it up at EPA I think 1058 00:47:43,630 --> 00:47:39,830 they listed it as a 1059 00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:43,640 the alone okay number two number 1060 00:47:51,270 --> 00:47:47,570 two ok how many coal-fired plants and 1061 00:47:54,820 --> 00:47:51,280 SUVs weather in the year one thousand 1062 00:47:56,260 --> 00:47:54,830 coal-burning plants yeah it's not the 1063 00:47:59,280 --> 00:47:56,270 number of plants is the amount of DC 1064 00:48:01,930 --> 00:47:59,290 medicated wats the 2001 years ago a 1065 00:48:05,590 --> 00:48:01,940 thousand years ago how many coal-fired 1066 00:48:07,810 --> 00:48:05,600 energy producing plants and SUVs were on 1067 00:48:09,220 --> 00:48:07,820 the earth there are any SUVs but I bet 1068 00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:09,230 that if you think colberine you talk 1069 00:48:15,250 --> 00:48:11,770 about people's hearts I suppose okay but 1070 00:48:18,850 --> 00:48:15,260 producing the vast amount of energy we 1071 00:48:22,270 --> 00:48:18,860 have today probably 12 11 percent or 1072 00:48:24,190 --> 00:48:22,280 less it's that yeah if that I steam 1073 00:48:26,830 --> 00:48:24,200 engines and gas turbines didn't exist 1074 00:48:30,340 --> 00:48:26,840 then good thing yeah okay did you ever 1075 00:48:33,010 --> 00:48:30,350 hear the little ice age yeah it drove 1076 00:48:35,020 --> 00:48:33,020 the Vikings off of Greenland because 1077 00:48:38,470 --> 00:48:35,030 Greenland a thousand years ago was a 1078 00:48:40,510 --> 00:48:38,480 beautiful green place right and the 1079 00:48:43,690 --> 00:48:40,520 Little Ice Age drove away because it 1080 00:48:45,970 --> 00:48:43,700 froze over the land right in co2 wasn't 1081 00:48:47,980 --> 00:48:45,980 problem back then yeah well I mean the 1082 00:48:50,050 --> 00:48:47,990 issue of global warming in the and the 1083 00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:50,060 role of co2 is has had there's a 1084 00:48:53,140 --> 00:48:51,170 consensus in the scientific community 1085 00:48:55,660 --> 00:48:53,150 that it that it should have and does 1086 00:48:57,310 --> 00:48:55,670 have an effect and the this forum is not 1087 00:48:59,230 --> 00:48:57,320 about the controversy there I know 1088 00:49:00,610 --> 00:48:59,240 they're there to size of this argument I 1089 00:49:03,250 --> 00:49:00,620 have colleagues who are on both on both 1090 00:49:05,020 --> 00:49:03,260 sides as well but based on pure 1091 00:49:07,330 --> 00:49:05,030 thermodynamics and radiative heat 1092 00:49:08,470 --> 00:49:07,340 transfer it's almost impossible for co2 1093 00:49:11,220 --> 00:49:08,480 not to have an effect on the environment 1094 00:49:14,650 --> 00:49:11,230 of the concentrations that is rising two 1095 00:49:17,770 --> 00:49:14,660 okay I can't sit here and without 1096 00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:17,780 speaking about hydrogen how many of you 1097 00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:21,490 in here have fought a hydrogen fire 1098 00:49:27,970 --> 00:49:25,010 nobody but I have when hydrogen burns 1099 00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:27,980 there is no flame that you can see and 1100 00:49:33,490 --> 00:49:30,530 in the hydrogen partner that I thought I 1101 00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:33,500 had to walk up to a valve and put my 1102 00:49:38,890 --> 00:49:35,930 hand across it and got burned to see if 1103 00:49:40,810 --> 00:49:38,900 there was a fire to put out hydrogen is 1104 00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:40,820 one of the most flammable materials 1105 00:49:47,230 --> 00:49:43,370 there is in nature is flammability 1106 00:49:50,230 --> 00:49:47,240 limits in air are 42 seventy-four 1107 00:49:54,010 --> 00:49:50,240 percent so almost any mixture that you 1108 00:49:57,640 --> 00:49:54,020 have of hydrogen in air is a bomb and I 1109 00:50:00,880 --> 00:49:57,650 don't want that in my garage secondly 1110 00:50:04,750 --> 00:50:00,890 the weather it always always talked to 1111 00:50:07,570 --> 00:50:04,760 already talked about that its energy 1112 00:50:10,240 --> 00:50:07,580 wise it's not a good idea because it 1113 00:50:13,510 --> 00:50:10,250 always takes more energy to get the 1114 00:50:15,910 --> 00:50:13,520 hydrogen out then it then you get out of 1115 00:50:17,710 --> 00:50:15,920 it and that you're that all you're only 1116 00:50:21,370 --> 00:50:17,720 going to get a fraction of that energy 1117 00:50:23,350 --> 00:50:21,380 patch right engines and i'm in favor of 1118 00:50:25,150 --> 00:50:23,360 no more burning of anything because 1119 00:50:27,820 --> 00:50:25,160 there are plenty of opportunities to be 1120 00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:27,830 developed and be applied right now today 1121 00:50:35,050 --> 00:50:31,850 and so the hydrogen is is it's just so 1122 00:50:37,540 --> 00:50:35,060 dangerous if there's any other way that 1123 00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:37,550 we can get our energy we don't want to I 1124 00:50:41,710 --> 00:50:39,530 can tell you because I thought hydrogen 1125 00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:41,720 fires I know what it's like I've been 1126 00:50:46,990 --> 00:50:45,170 there and we don't want to do that so 1127 00:50:49,870 --> 00:50:47,000 I'm disappointed in you two guys I was 1128 00:50:57,720 --> 00:50:49,880 expecting you to say that why are we 1129 00:51:06,190 --> 00:51:02,620 I'd like to speak to can go and I'm a 1130 00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:06,200 little nervous folks please forgive me I 1131 00:51:11,710 --> 00:51:09,410 think I think actually everyone is 1132 00:51:14,700 --> 00:51:11,720 missing one real important source of 1133 00:51:19,690 --> 00:51:14,710 energy and that is the human body and 1134 00:51:21,550 --> 00:51:19,700 when you were speaking Ken I'm guided by 1135 00:51:23,410 --> 00:51:21,560 many spirits who work through my 1136 00:51:27,220 --> 00:51:23,420 physical body some of you have lit heard 1137 00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:27,230 them and what I don't usually see things 1138 00:51:32,230 --> 00:51:30,050 though but so this was very unusual so I 1139 00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:32,240 know it was important when you were 1140 00:51:41,650 --> 00:51:36,290 speaking they showed me these two lines 1141 00:51:43,870 --> 00:51:41,660 of zigzag psychedelic lines up here that 1142 00:51:45,070 --> 00:51:43,880 kept distracting me from looking I 1143 00:51:48,330 --> 00:51:45,080 couldn't even look at you for the 1144 00:51:51,370 --> 00:51:48,340 distraction there was a third line also 1145 00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:51,380 it was not exactly with the other two 1146 00:51:55,059 --> 00:51:54,530 and they were kind of they what they 1147 00:51:59,439 --> 00:51:55,069 made me 1148 00:52:02,019 --> 00:51:59,449 enka was a synapse of our brain one 1149 00:52:06,489 --> 00:52:02,029 nerve ending reaching another nerve 1150 00:52:10,689 --> 00:52:06,499 ending and you kind of downplayed bills 1151 00:52:13,569 --> 00:52:10,699 a comment about intention but i think my 1152 00:52:16,199 --> 00:52:13,579 guides want you to you especially to 1153 00:52:19,630 --> 00:52:16,209 think about the possibility of using 1154 00:52:24,549 --> 00:52:19,640 intention along with what you have 1155 00:52:27,759 --> 00:52:24,559 developed that the human brain can help 1156 00:52:29,529 --> 00:52:27,769 it yes very definitely and we are still 1157 00:52:31,539 --> 00:52:29,539 living on the same planet with the same 1158 00:52:33,729 --> 00:52:31,549 physical resources as over a hundred 1159 00:52:36,430 --> 00:52:33,739 years ago with one-tenth population 1160 00:52:38,709 --> 00:52:36,440 which back then only about 1% of the 1161 00:52:41,349 --> 00:52:38,719 population was well off and what is it 1162 00:52:42,819 --> 00:52:41,359 now today about ten percent people live 1163 00:52:45,910 --> 00:52:42,829 are well off that's a hundred times 1164 00:52:47,799 --> 00:52:45,920 increase in the ability to live decently 1165 00:52:49,479 --> 00:52:47,809 on this planet but it's the same planet 1166 00:52:51,370 --> 00:52:49,489 with the same resources and ten times 1167 00:52:53,229 --> 00:52:51,380 the number of people what happened it's 1168 00:52:55,599 --> 00:52:53,239 our ability to live with our environment 1169 00:52:57,699 --> 00:52:55,609 in each other and that's part of what 1170 00:52:59,380 --> 00:52:57,709 you're saying there is that a tremendous 1171 00:53:02,199 --> 00:52:59,390 resource to make this energy work as 1172 00:53:03,670 --> 00:53:02,209 just our own our own social skills that 1173 00:53:08,289 --> 00:53:03,680 can have lots of room for improvement 1174 00:53:10,209 --> 00:53:08,299 yet I i guess my own personal opinion 1175 00:53:13,630 --> 00:53:10,219 after listening to all this well before 1176 00:53:14,949 --> 00:53:13,640 that also is zero-point energy is 1177 00:53:17,079 --> 00:53:14,959 probably the one that's going to be the 1178 00:53:20,729 --> 00:53:17,089 answer to all of the requirements that 1179 00:53:24,309 --> 00:53:20,739 we have so my question is how much 1180 00:53:26,739 --> 00:53:24,319 research is being done and how much is 1181 00:53:29,799 --> 00:53:26,749 required to bring zero-point energy 1182 00:53:34,989 --> 00:53:29,809 online you know it's some whenever that 1183 00:53:37,599 --> 00:53:34,999 might happen and if you let me put it 1184 00:53:42,130 --> 00:53:37,609 this way if you had all the money that 1185 00:53:44,469 --> 00:53:42,140 you could spend how fast could you think 1186 00:53:49,479 --> 00:53:44,479 that we could get the necessary research 1187 00:53:51,219 --> 00:53:49,489 done to utilize zero-point energy limit 1188 00:53:52,180 --> 00:53:51,229 or in comment notice that there are lots 1189 00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:52,190 and lots of rumors 1190 00:53:55,750 --> 00:53:54,050 around on the internet about devices 1191 00:53:57,700 --> 00:53:55,760 that already exists that have zero point 1192 00:54:00,309 --> 00:53:57,710 energy etc etc I don't leave a word of 1193 00:54:02,230 --> 00:54:00,319 that sit tight yes for years and years I 1194 00:54:04,329 --> 00:54:02,240 think all those things are strictly hoax 1195 00:54:05,500 --> 00:54:04,339 and hoaxes and cons and I don't think is 1196 00:54:07,300 --> 00:54:05,510 needed by sitting out there the shelf 1197 00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:07,310 somewhere in this being withheld from us 1198 00:54:10,300 --> 00:54:09,050 by the virtue of the greedy all 1199 00:54:13,720 --> 00:54:10,310 companies or in the government or 1200 00:54:16,089 --> 00:54:13,730 whatever in terms of what it would take 1201 00:54:19,300 --> 00:54:16,099 to demonstrate a zero-point energy can 1202 00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:19,310 be a viable source it's really not that 1203 00:54:23,950 --> 00:54:21,170 much amount of money we're looking 1204 00:54:24,970 --> 00:54:23,960 forward to pursue our patent to carry on 1205 00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:24,980 service here at the University of 1206 00:54:28,990 --> 00:54:26,450 Colorado by the way from the laboratory 1207 00:54:31,569 --> 00:54:29,000 is it's on the order of maybe 10 or 20 1208 00:54:32,650 --> 00:54:31,579 million dollars as we're looking for and 1209 00:54:35,589 --> 00:54:32,660 I think with that amount of money we 1210 00:54:37,540 --> 00:54:35,599 probably pretty definitively either show 1211 00:54:39,900 --> 00:54:37,550 that the effect that we require to make 1212 00:54:43,839 --> 00:54:39,910 this work is real or that is a dead end 1213 00:54:45,720 --> 00:54:43,849 you don't have to say that's absolutely 1214 00:54:49,950 --> 00:54:45,730 nuts 1215 00:54:51,980 --> 00:54:49,960 hot fusion it's his murder how many 1216 00:54:54,420 --> 00:54:51,990 billions of dollars it's more of a 1217 00:54:56,460 --> 00:54:54,430 people problem than is a technology 1218 00:54:59,760 --> 00:54:56,470 problem here's a humorous rule of thumb 1219 00:55:03,720 --> 00:54:59,770 for these sorts of frontier developments 1220 00:55:05,250 --> 00:55:03,730 that a fellow researcher that I know in 1221 00:55:06,720 --> 00:55:05,260 the field brought this up says the 1222 00:55:09,270 --> 00:55:06,730 effort that it takes to get these sort 1223 00:55:12,300 --> 00:55:09,280 of projects to a practical level ten 1224 00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:12,310 percent of the energy of the effort is 1225 00:55:16,290 --> 00:55:14,650 the technology itself twenty percent of 1226 00:55:18,720 --> 00:55:16,300 the effort is overcoming suppression 1227 00:55:20,670 --> 00:55:18,730 interference thirty percent of the 1228 00:55:22,410 --> 00:55:20,680 effort is finding adequate funding in 1229 00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:22,420 the remaining forty percent is just 1230 00:55:28,410 --> 00:55:24,490 interpersonal politics getting people to 1231 00:55:30,240 --> 00:55:28,420 cooperate terms are the words of 1232 00:55:32,210 --> 00:55:30,250 freshmen I don't have any sense of any 1233 00:55:35,700 --> 00:55:32,220 suppression taking place it's simply 1234 00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:35,710 skepticism and subscriptions yep the 1235 00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:38,490 only suppression I know of his just 1236 00:55:42,690 --> 00:55:40,930 maneuvering within industry of somebody 1237 00:55:47,430 --> 00:55:42,700 not wanting competition from somebody 1238 00:55:49,710 --> 00:55:47,440 else there's no indication actually knew 1239 00:55:52,410 --> 00:55:49,720 that is simply ignorance and Prejudice 1240 00:55:57,599 --> 00:55:52,420 because something is new and that their 1241 00:56:00,270 --> 00:55:57,609 children work well well well well 1242 00:56:02,670 --> 00:56:00,280 blabber thank ya thank thank you thank 1243 00:56:04,980 --> 00:56:02,680 you moderator I want to follow up on 1244 00:56:06,630 --> 00:56:04,990 that lady's suggestion about the body 1245 00:56:08,490 --> 00:56:06,640 what came to me and she was saying it 1246 00:56:12,870 --> 00:56:08,500 it's just in a flash never thought of 1247 00:56:14,849 --> 00:56:12,880 this before but uh spoon pending right 1248 00:56:16,980 --> 00:56:14,859 this takes this is something that the 1249 00:56:19,109 --> 00:56:16,990 body presumably is doing in some way and 1250 00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:19,119 it takes incredible and it has anybody 1251 00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:21,010 done a calculation of the energy that it 1252 00:56:25,290 --> 00:56:23,410 takes to bend the spoon has anybody done 1253 00:56:26,970 --> 00:56:25,300 any measurements on transfers of 1254 00:56:29,730 --> 00:56:26,980 energies from the body to the spoon 1255 00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:29,740 during these spoon bending parties it 1256 00:56:33,330 --> 00:56:31,690 wouldn't be very much I mean the amount 1257 00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:33,340 of energy if you can if you can take a 1258 00:56:37,890 --> 00:56:35,890 spoon and bend it with pretty advice and 1259 00:56:40,590 --> 00:56:37,900 putting on let's say 50 pounds of force 1260 00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:40,600 or something like that to bend it okay 1261 00:56:44,130 --> 00:56:42,130 800 pounds but it but if you move if you 1262 00:56:46,410 --> 00:56:44,140 move that through a small angle you know 1263 00:56:47,609 --> 00:56:46,420 integral of torque times the angle gives 1264 00:56:51,350 --> 00:56:47,619 you the work the work could just be in 1265 00:56:54,170 --> 00:56:51,360 the order of jewels yes also just 1266 00:56:57,210 --> 00:56:54,180 it's interesting on a number of fronts 1267 00:56:58,410 --> 00:56:57,220 so according to Jack Howell what he was 1268 00:57:00,420 --> 00:56:58,420 talking about this morning is is you 1269 00:57:02,580 --> 00:57:00,430 sort of essentially greased the grain 1270 00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:02,590 boundaries of the metal which allows the 1271 00:57:07,410 --> 00:57:05,170 the spoon to bend and so there's very 1272 00:57:08,970 --> 00:57:07,420 very little energy involved you're not 1273 00:57:13,260 --> 00:57:08,980 actually bending the spoon in its 1274 00:57:15,780 --> 00:57:13,270 conventional state however to support 1275 00:57:18,090 --> 00:57:15,790 what you're saying you know one of my 1276 00:57:20,100 --> 00:57:18,100 students is working on on on low energy 1277 00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:20,110 nuclear reaction and one of the big 1278 00:57:25,860 --> 00:57:22,570 problems with this is sometimes it 1279 00:57:28,350 --> 00:57:25,870 appears sometimes it doesn't and it just 1280 00:57:31,260 --> 00:57:28,360 fits perfectly into the paradigm of is 1281 00:57:33,030 --> 00:57:31,270 it an intention based phenomenon you 1282 00:57:35,250 --> 00:57:33,040 know I have no evidence that it is I 1283 00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:35,260 cannot say it is but it's certainly an 1284 00:57:41,850 --> 00:57:40,450 interesting question NASA worked on an 1285 00:57:43,980 --> 00:57:41,860 experiment a while back through the 1286 00:57:46,740 --> 00:57:43,990 Space Shuttle that involved a long 1287 00:57:49,620 --> 00:57:46,750 lanyard conductor stretched way out in 1288 00:57:51,450 --> 00:57:49,630 space that produced quite a bit of 1289 00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:51,460 electricity in fact I think it exceeded 1290 00:57:54,630 --> 00:57:53,290 their wildest dreams so much so that it 1291 00:57:57,450 --> 00:57:54,640 conducted current and I think it broke 1292 00:57:59,580 --> 00:57:57,460 the cable there's new materials being 1293 00:58:04,020 --> 00:57:59,590 generated now talk of a space elevator 1294 00:58:07,050 --> 00:58:04,030 carbon fiber tubules and so on the earth 1295 00:58:08,910 --> 00:58:07,060 turning through a magnetic field with 1296 00:58:11,100 --> 00:58:08,920 the conductor generates lots of 1297 00:58:13,830 --> 00:58:11,110 electricity is that not cannot beat not 1298 00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:13,840 be scaled up to be something practical 1299 00:58:17,970 --> 00:58:16,330 yes we can but we don't know what the 1300 00:58:19,740 --> 00:58:17,980 side effects are from disturbing the 1301 00:58:23,070 --> 00:58:19,750 ionosphere by tapping that much 1302 00:58:24,900 --> 00:58:23,080 electricity out of it we don't know that 1303 00:58:26,670 --> 00:58:24,910 the side effects it's already put a 1304 00:58:29,100 --> 00:58:26,680 damper on it but I'm just cautious of 1305 00:58:36,450 --> 00:58:29,110 where is this energy coming from and 1306 00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:36,460 what's it doing oh yes tapping lightning 1307 00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:38,650 is a very dangerous thing it's how do 1308 00:58:45,270 --> 00:58:43,450 you limit it it's getting a tiger by the 1309 00:58:46,530 --> 00:58:45,280 tail for sure well well the world is 1310 00:58:48,900 --> 00:58:46,540 full of energy if you look at the amount 1311 00:58:51,450 --> 00:58:48,910 of solar radiation pinching on the 1312 00:58:53,730 --> 00:58:51,460 planet continuously it's enough to power 1313 00:58:55,230 --> 00:58:53,740 civilization a thousand times over but 1314 00:58:58,020 --> 00:58:55,240 it's not high grade energy when it's 1315 00:58:59,790 --> 00:58:58,030 just blowing in as low breezes or in 1316 00:59:02,190 --> 00:58:59,800 and mildly warm water on the surface of 1317 00:59:03,570 --> 00:59:02,200 the ocean it's it's low grade and you 1318 00:59:05,610 --> 00:59:03,580 have to have apparatus to extract it 1319 00:59:07,380 --> 00:59:05,620 from so it's not a question of whether 1320 00:59:09,810 --> 00:59:07,390 they're free energy sources it also is a 1321 00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:09,820 matter of of conversion the apparatus 1322 00:59:13,590 --> 00:59:12,610 necessary for that transport storage all 1323 00:59:16,710 --> 00:59:13,600 of these things all that infrastructure 1324 00:59:18,600 --> 00:59:16,720 and so you can't simply just talk about 1325 00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:18,610 where the energy is it's a question of 1326 00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:21,250 is it is that ubiquitous is a portables 1327 00:59:24,870 --> 00:59:23,050 at high energy density is a cheap is it 1328 00:59:28,020 --> 00:59:24,880 green all of these things become are 1329 00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:28,030 important here and and what what would 1330 00:59:32,460 --> 00:59:30,130 Garrett and Bernie are proposing and 1331 00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:32,470 Kenner are possibilities where these 1332 00:59:35,370 --> 00:59:33,730 things would be in principle could be 1333 00:59:37,140 --> 00:59:35,380 portable devices the size of this bottle 1334 00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:37,150 and something this size would would be 1335 00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:38,410 at the center of your household running 1336 00:59:43,020 --> 00:59:41,770 it ad infinitum that would that's the 1337 00:59:44,610 --> 00:59:43,030 kind of radical change we're talking 1338 00:59:46,950 --> 00:59:44,620 about get rid of the infrastructure you 1339 00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:46,960 know you could scrap the the electrical 1340 00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:48,730 grids in the United States put away all 1341 00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:50,650 the all the power plants bury them very 1342 00:59:55,770 --> 00:59:53,290 the nuclear power plants it would you 1343 00:59:58,140 --> 00:59:55,780 get rid of all the oil tankers no more 1344 00:59:59,610 --> 00:59:58,150 railroads from coal mines shut down the 1345 01:00:01,500 --> 00:59:59,620 coal mines shut down the oil fields 1346 01:00:03,300 --> 01:00:01,510 everything all this stuff would change 1347 01:00:04,620 --> 01:00:03,310 it would be a radical change and what 1348 01:00:06,450 --> 01:00:04,630 I'm really interested in is hearing your 1349 01:00:08,100 --> 01:00:06,460 ideas about how radical this would be 1350 01:00:12,810 --> 01:00:08,110 and whether it would actually be a good 1351 01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:12,820 thing my argument it basically is this 1352 01:00:17,010 --> 01:00:14,890 now in the paper that in the jse 1353 01:00:18,750 --> 01:00:17,020 ultimately I think it is a bad thing and 1354 01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:18,760 reason is is because if you have 1355 01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:20,530 unlimited energy that will allow you to 1356 01:00:24,690 --> 01:00:22,570 pillage the planet that much more 1357 01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:24,700 quickly you could you could make you can 1358 01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:26,410 make fishing trawlers which never have 1359 01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:27,730 to come into port until they were full 1360 01:00:32,220 --> 01:00:30,130 you could you could build undoing 1361 01:00:33,420 --> 01:00:32,230 machines to cut down entire swathes the 1362 01:00:35,340 --> 01:00:33,430 forest without ever having to repower 1363 01:00:37,740 --> 01:00:35,350 them you could build engines of war that 1364 01:00:40,020 --> 01:00:37,750 never needed to be refueled no no fewer 1365 01:00:41,910 --> 01:00:40,030 lines having to go out I'm your creative 1366 01:00:44,250 --> 01:00:41,920 anti-gravity for precisely that reason 1367 01:00:46,230 --> 01:00:44,260 well you could you could go on mining 1368 01:00:48,510 --> 01:00:46,240 for as much as you want all the oars so 1369 01:00:51,060 --> 01:00:48,520 I mean ultimately it's a matter of our 1370 01:00:52,350 --> 01:00:51,070 human nature if we had unlimited amounts 1371 01:00:53,910 --> 01:00:52,360 of energy what would we do with it I'm 1372 01:01:01,320 --> 01:00:53,920 not sure it would necessarily be a good 1373 01:01:02,580 --> 01:01:01,330 thing that's quite interesting I I was 1374 01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:02,590 kind of comment on something a little 1375 01:01:08,340 --> 01:01:06,250 earlier about how well uh how well off 1376 01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:08,350 we are and I agree that we are better 1377 01:01:13,740 --> 01:01:09,850 off now than 1378 01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:13,750 we have been for centuries but I I see 1379 01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:16,330 that we're not necessarily going to 1380 01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:18,490 continue this way right now we're kind 1381 01:01:26,820 --> 01:01:22,330 of reaching a point where my kids are 1382 01:01:29,370 --> 01:01:26,830 projected to live less years than I am 1383 01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:29,380 you know we've just kind of Crested now 1384 01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:31,890 or stresses up this for sure yeah and 1385 01:01:36,810 --> 01:01:34,090 facility to destroy ourselves has 1386 01:01:38,010 --> 01:01:36,820 accelerated tremendously absolutely 1387 01:01:39,630 --> 01:01:38,020 we've had the ability to destroy 1388 01:01:41,790 --> 01:01:39,640 ourselves for quite some time now and 1389 01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:41,800 it's fortunate we didn't do that in the 1390 01:01:47,940 --> 01:01:46,810 80s with the Russians and all but and is 1391 01:01:50,970 --> 01:01:47,950 it do you think it's better that we're 1392 01:01:53,100 --> 01:01:50,980 limited by the the dearth of natural 1393 01:01:55,770 --> 01:01:53,110 resources well I think the 1394 01:01:58,950 --> 01:01:55,780 infrastructure that's that's in power 1395 01:02:05,670 --> 01:01:58,960 now would definitely be opposed to any 1396 01:02:09,300 --> 01:02:05,680 type of free energy if if the nation's 1397 01:02:13,430 --> 01:02:09,310 the west wall to do nations had free 1398 01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:13,440 energy and they weren't dependent on us 1399 01:02:18,780 --> 01:02:16,090 that would really shift about the 1400 01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:18,790 balance of power considerably yes mom 1401 01:02:25,950 --> 01:02:21,370 and I agree with your concerns about it 1402 01:02:29,850 --> 01:02:25,960 being abused and and the power 1403 01:02:33,900 --> 01:02:29,860 infrastructure you know oil I mean these 1404 01:02:36,060 --> 01:02:33,910 are big players in our economy imagine 1405 01:02:37,590 --> 01:02:36,070 what what would happen to our finances 1406 01:02:40,950 --> 01:02:37,600 if all of a sudden we didn't have to pay 1407 01:02:42,540 --> 01:02:40,960 for the power bill well it's not just 1408 01:02:44,970 --> 01:02:42,550 the power bills everything you every 1409 01:02:48,570 --> 01:02:44,980 single product you own has has energy 1410 01:02:52,260 --> 01:02:48,580 costs behind it right I mean China could 1411 01:02:54,930 --> 01:02:52,270 produce just tons of stuff you know even 1412 01:02:57,840 --> 01:02:54,940 more cheaply if they didn't have the 1413 01:02:59,490 --> 01:02:57,850 energy requirements so how many of you 1414 01:03:01,020 --> 01:02:59,500 think that we shouldn't actually we 1415 01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:01,030 should not actually develop a free 1416 01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:23,140 resources but we know that some 1417 01:03:28,510 --> 01:03:24,890 societies choose now to invent certain 1418 01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:28,520 things society doesn't just follow this 1419 01:03:32,890 --> 01:03:30,130 course and it's not necessarily 1420 01:03:36,580 --> 01:03:32,900 predetermined based on what is best and 1421 01:03:37,870 --> 01:03:36,590 what is most powerful um somebody said 1422 01:03:39,580 --> 01:03:37,880 that well maybe that there are 1423 01:03:41,340 --> 01:03:39,590 mechanisms like all industries I would 1424 01:03:43,630 --> 01:03:41,350 you know hole will hold us down from 1425 01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:43,640 developing something like this and maybe 1426 01:03:50,020 --> 01:03:47,410 that's not realistic maybe it is but 1427 01:03:52,180 --> 01:03:50,030 maybe there are just mechanisms built 1428 01:03:55,660 --> 01:03:52,190 into any system that forms societies 1429 01:03:57,520 --> 01:03:55,670 that prevent it from developing mostly 1430 01:04:00,040 --> 01:03:57,530 powerful technologies i can destroy it 1431 01:04:01,750 --> 01:04:00,050 like biotechnology if it becomes 1432 01:04:04,210 --> 01:04:01,760 ubiquitous then you can have hackers 1433 01:04:06,310 --> 01:04:04,220 that would make viruses that could kill 1434 01:04:07,900 --> 01:04:06,320 everybody right so maybe there's a 1435 01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:07,910 similar I don't know if that's realistic 1436 01:04:14,410 --> 01:04:12,490 or not but yes I've got one over here 1437 01:04:15,790 --> 01:04:14,420 maybe we'll put up maybe we'll put the 1438 01:04:24,849 --> 01:04:15,800 microphone on the stand let people line 1439 01:04:29,500 --> 01:04:24,859 up sounds good and that look up doll me 1440 01:04:33,700 --> 01:04:29,510 extraneous comments I've heard a lot of 1441 01:04:35,500 --> 01:04:33,710 talk about the cost of energy and I just 1442 01:04:37,660 --> 01:04:35,510 want to remind everybody that money is 1443 01:04:39,700 --> 01:04:37,670 fake we invented the financial system 1444 01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:39,710 the monetary system will live in is a 1445 01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:42,650 construct that regulates our environment 1446 01:04:47,140 --> 01:04:45,050 that we currently reside in um another 1447 01:04:48,940 --> 01:04:47,150 interesting thing that i think i should 1448 01:04:52,180 --> 01:04:48,950 mention is known as talked about Nikola 1449 01:04:54,849 --> 01:04:52,190 Tesla at all and Wardenclyffe tower and 1450 01:04:57,070 --> 01:04:54,859 tapping Liana's you inherited it so we 1451 01:04:58,960 --> 01:04:57,080 can get there so I couldn't learn yet 1452 01:05:00,820 --> 01:04:58,970 guys his thoughts on Nikola Tesla and 1453 01:05:02,470 --> 01:05:00,830 his technology the fact that the 1454 01:05:04,750 --> 01:05:02,480 monetary system brought his technology 1455 01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:04,760 to a halt because they couldn't put a 1456 01:05:10,660 --> 01:05:07,970 meter on money that would own energy 1457 01:05:13,930 --> 01:05:10,670 that was free so really the question is 1458 01:05:15,580 --> 01:05:13,940 immune are we going to idea over the 1459 01:05:17,260 --> 01:05:15,590 cost of doing this or we're going to go 1460 01:05:19,750 --> 01:05:17,270 extinct because free energy is 1461 01:05:21,550 --> 01:05:19,760 inevitable if we don't extent the world 1462 01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:21,560 is going to work perfectly the Sun is 1463 01:05:25,690 --> 01:05:23,450 going to function perfectly that's 4G 1464 01:05:28,750 --> 01:05:25,700 part of the Tesla mystique is also 1465 01:05:29,930 --> 01:05:28,760 steeped in the wannabe hype that's so 1466 01:05:31,730 --> 01:05:29,940 prevalent on the inner 1467 01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:31,740 but there is some truth behind that 1468 01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:35,250 we're still sorting out what that genius 1469 01:05:41,930 --> 01:05:39,450 did and what he didn't do just as a 1470 01:05:43,940 --> 01:05:41,940 thought to go somewhere with it I have a 1471 01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:43,950 fellow researcher in western Washington 1472 01:05:48,079 --> 01:05:45,930 the two of us have figured out how to 1473 01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:48,089 generate Paul lightning on demand which 1474 01:05:53,630 --> 01:05:50,490 is a thing that previously had only been 1475 01:05:55,339 --> 01:05:53,640 attributed to him and we can do that now 1476 01:05:57,050 --> 01:05:55,349 we don't see it as a source of energy 1477 01:06:02,150 --> 01:05:57,060 but we see more it as a medium for 1478 01:06:04,790 --> 01:06:02,160 processing things right I had a comment 1479 01:06:07,809 --> 01:06:04,800 related to what Bernie had said that he 1480 01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:07,819 was not aware of any suppression of 1481 01:06:12,170 --> 01:06:10,050 inventions and a lot of you know there's 1482 01:06:13,970 --> 01:06:12,180 a lot of conspiracy theories about that 1483 01:06:17,030 --> 01:06:13,980 and all but that the fact of the matter 1484 01:06:18,370 --> 01:06:17,040 is is that it is well documented the 1485 01:06:21,260 --> 01:06:18,380 government the United States government 1486 01:06:26,270 --> 01:06:21,270 itself provides the information that 1487 01:06:28,040 --> 01:06:26,280 certain inventions are suppressed not in 1488 01:06:31,460 --> 01:06:28,050 not in terms of what we conventionally 1489 01:06:35,240 --> 01:06:31,470 think of but in terms of secrecy orders 1490 01:06:36,980 --> 01:06:35,250 I sent away a few years ago to get 1491 01:06:40,460 --> 01:06:36,990 through the Freedom of Information Act 1492 01:06:43,849 --> 01:06:40,470 to the Patent Office and asked for a 1493 01:06:46,099 --> 01:06:43,859 listing of all of the just statistics 1494 01:06:47,839 --> 01:06:46,109 because they won't release the names of 1495 01:06:49,910 --> 01:06:47,849 the patents but I asked for the 1496 01:06:52,970 --> 01:06:49,920 statistics in which they had issued 1497 01:06:55,220 --> 01:06:52,980 secrecy orders and if you have ever seen 1498 01:06:58,730 --> 01:06:55,230 a secrecy order it disallows the 1499 01:07:01,430 --> 01:06:58,740 inventor to even talk publish or say 1500 01:07:03,670 --> 01:07:01,440 anything about the invention that has 1501 01:07:06,680 --> 01:07:03,680 the secrecy order because it's a legal 1502 01:07:08,690 --> 01:07:06,690 enforceable document by the executive 1503 01:07:10,550 --> 01:07:08,700 department you know that that they 1504 01:07:13,400 --> 01:07:10,560 cannot talk about it or anything but 1505 01:07:15,460 --> 01:07:13,410 their statistics were at that time just 1506 01:07:19,790 --> 01:07:15,470 a few years ago that there were 1507 01:07:23,809 --> 01:07:19,800 approximately 6,000 secrecy orders well 1508 01:07:27,230 --> 01:07:23,819 on 6000 inventions which nobody could 1509 01:07:29,150 --> 01:07:27,240 find anything out about and which the 1510 01:07:32,210 --> 01:07:29,160 inventors could not talk about or 1511 01:07:34,430 --> 01:07:32,220 publish about so if you're interested in 1512 01:07:37,160 --> 01:07:34,440 I mean the question of suppression I 1513 01:07:39,020 --> 01:07:37,170 mean it was it's it's done under the 1514 01:07:40,339 --> 01:07:39,030 guise of you know it to protect the 1515 01:07:41,960 --> 01:07:40,349 national security of the United States 1516 01:07:43,780 --> 01:07:41,970 which i think is important because you 1517 01:07:46,150 --> 01:07:43,790 wouldn't want people to invent a 1518 01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:46,160 a gun obviously that that you know 1519 01:07:50,050 --> 01:07:48,170 perhaps as a poor gun or something could 1520 01:07:52,300 --> 01:07:50,060 people be running around killing people 1521 01:07:54,940 --> 01:07:52,310 or whatever but the fact of the matter 1522 01:07:57,910 --> 01:07:54,950 is that there are at least 6,000 1523 01:08:00,580 --> 01:07:57,920 inventions that the that the Patent 1524 01:08:02,860 --> 01:08:00,590 Office has already established the 1525 01:08:04,750 --> 01:08:02,870 secrecy orders on and since nineteen 1526 01:08:07,600 --> 01:08:04,760 forty-two because they sent me the the 1527 01:08:09,340 --> 01:08:07,610 thought it was 47 that the National 1528 01:08:11,230 --> 01:08:09,350 Security Act came through well it may 1529 01:08:13,420 --> 01:08:11,240 have been they had secrecy orders even 1530 01:08:15,970 --> 01:08:13,430 before 1947 okay but I think there's a 1531 01:08:17,380 --> 01:08:15,980 difference here and let me finish we're 1532 01:08:20,740 --> 01:08:17,390 going to finish rather than being 1533 01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:20,750 interrupted the since nineteen forty-two 1534 01:08:26,500 --> 01:08:23,810 there had been over 10,000 secrecy 1535 01:08:29,200 --> 01:08:26,510 orders established but they do lift them 1536 01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:29,210 after certain periods of time but in any 1537 01:08:32,140 --> 01:08:30,530 case I just want to make it clear that 1538 01:08:33,700 --> 01:08:32,150 there have been secrets yours and there 1539 01:08:37,210 --> 01:08:33,710 are thousands of inventions out there 1540 01:08:39,130 --> 01:08:37,220 that nobody knows about and obviously 1541 01:08:42,430 --> 01:08:39,140 you know some of those I could include 1542 01:08:43,990 --> 01:08:42,440 advanced technologies that that you for 1543 01:08:45,370 --> 01:08:44,000 folks have been doing research on that 1544 01:08:47,890 --> 01:08:45,380 you wouldn't know about because the 1545 01:08:49,570 --> 01:08:47,900 inventor can't talk about it okay no 1546 01:08:51,760 --> 01:08:49,580 sure well that lepers experience all 1547 01:08:53,950 --> 01:08:51,770 yeah certainly this crossed my mind a 1548 01:08:55,210 --> 01:08:53,960 bit when when we were applying for the 1549 01:08:56,829 --> 01:08:55,220 patent on the zero-point energy device 1550 01:08:58,240 --> 01:08:56,839 about well you know maybe there's some 1551 01:09:01,270 --> 01:08:58,250 chance this will happen i hate the cs 1552 01:09:04,120 --> 01:09:01,280 secrecy order put over us but in fact 1553 01:09:06,480 --> 01:09:04,130 nothing whatsoever I never ever crossed 1554 01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:06,490 my radar screen but there was not any 1555 01:09:11,590 --> 01:09:09,410 possibility that's happening and it 1556 01:09:14,500 --> 01:09:11,600 didn't and that proves you the one or 1557 01:09:15,970 --> 01:09:14,510 two things either that they don't do 1558 01:09:17,500 --> 01:09:15,980 these secrecy things very often and out 1559 01:09:18,789 --> 01:09:17,510 in this area or they've got this so 1560 01:09:21,250 --> 01:09:18,799 wrong you know it's not gonna work they 1561 01:09:23,289 --> 01:09:21,260 don't care well well that's a 1562 01:09:25,900 --> 01:09:23,299 possibility Bernie but maybe it wasn't 1563 01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:25,910 it you know dangerous enough that would 1564 01:09:29,860 --> 01:09:28,130 that would threaten the security the 1565 01:09:31,510 --> 01:09:29,870 United States and some fashion but there 1566 01:09:34,809 --> 01:09:31,520 are at least six hours now because I I 1567 01:09:36,190 --> 01:09:34,819 checked just maybe a few months ago as 1568 01:09:38,620 --> 01:09:36,200 well and there still is about the same 1569 01:09:41,440 --> 01:09:38,630 numbers or what well I don't think it's 1570 01:09:43,300 --> 01:09:41,450 going to apply our policy for most of us 1571 01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:43,310 i think is to publish these results once 1572 01:09:46,780 --> 01:09:44,210 they go out into the open literature 1573 01:09:48,130 --> 01:09:46,790 they can't be suppressed and and they're 1574 01:09:49,750 --> 01:09:48,140 they're not going to gag academics 1575 01:09:51,700 --> 01:09:49,760 because that's not going to happen right 1576 01:09:53,410 --> 01:09:51,710 well that's what i've said you know to 1577 01:09:54,560 --> 01:09:53,420 keep you from being suppressed just 1578 01:09:56,270 --> 01:09:54,570 publish it on the Internet 1579 01:09:57,319 --> 01:09:56,280 there better ways of suppressing in the 1580 01:09:58,669 --> 01:09:57,329 old days they used to burn you at the 1581 01:10:06,620 --> 01:09:58,679 stake for heresy now they just don't 1582 01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:06,630 fund you and then from the science 1583 01:10:11,959 --> 01:10:09,690 fiction world there are two Robert 1584 01:10:13,129 --> 01:10:11,969 Heinlein stories and I'm only going to 1585 01:10:17,390 --> 01:10:13,139 be able to remember the name of one of 1586 01:10:19,459 --> 01:10:17,400 them what happens if a simple energy 1587 01:10:26,569 --> 01:10:19,469 source is invented and one was called 1588 01:10:29,450 --> 01:10:26,579 brown shoe where the hippie living was 1589 01:10:32,089 --> 01:10:29,460 girlfriend figures it out and he has to 1590 01:10:34,729 --> 01:10:32,099 on then spend ten years going back and 1591 01:10:36,410 --> 01:10:34,739 getting a PhD and becoming part of his 1592 01:10:40,459 --> 01:10:36,420 father's company and wearing suits and 1593 01:10:42,290 --> 01:10:40,469 ties and slowly injecting this into 1594 01:10:45,439 --> 01:10:42,300 society until it can't be stopped 1595 01:10:47,689 --> 01:10:45,449 because he realized that um reputation 1596 01:10:50,410 --> 01:10:47,699 is everything for for alternative 1597 01:10:52,669 --> 01:10:50,420 science that it would be easily stopped 1598 01:10:56,450 --> 01:10:52,679 anything you could think of to do it it 1599 01:10:59,500 --> 01:10:56,460 would be easily stopped except to have 1600 01:11:02,859 --> 01:10:59,510 it be a slow business development so 1601 01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:02,869 just just not suppression but just um 1602 01:11:08,629 --> 01:11:06,810 disbelief and Prejudice it's probably a 1603 01:11:11,990 --> 01:11:08,639 much bigger bigger than we think even if 1604 01:11:13,700 --> 01:11:12,000 we have something to sell you can then 1605 01:11:15,530 --> 01:11:13,710 be jailed because everybody knows it 1606 01:11:21,530 --> 01:11:15,540 doesn't exist and you're running a scam 1607 01:11:24,589 --> 01:11:21,540 like de Forest was almost jailed for 1608 01:11:29,569 --> 01:11:24,599 pretending that the the diode vacuum 1609 01:11:32,740 --> 01:11:29,579 tube could be part of a radio but that 1610 01:11:38,540 --> 01:11:32,750 was one hyman story another one was a 1611 01:11:41,149 --> 01:11:38,550 space opera type where a worship that 1612 01:11:44,089 --> 01:11:41,159 had gone out to the planets to dig 1613 01:11:46,760 --> 01:11:44,099 uranium came back 50 years later and all 1614 01:11:49,490 --> 01:11:46,770 the cities were abandoned and that was 1615 01:11:52,189 --> 01:11:49,500 because a little electromagnetic device 1616 01:11:55,100 --> 01:11:52,199 was discovered that you could run your 1617 01:11:57,979 --> 01:11:55,110 your farm implements by building this 1618 01:12:03,169 --> 01:11:57,989 thing with several coils so after all of 1619 01:12:04,640 --> 01:12:03,179 the changing the economy died down it 1620 01:12:06,959 --> 01:12:04,650 was all turning communities no big 1621 01:12:10,529 --> 01:12:06,969 cities so that was his his 1622 01:12:14,700 --> 01:12:10,539 of what energy device would do to 1623 01:12:19,049 --> 01:12:14,710 society I'll just quickly one third one 1624 01:12:21,870 --> 01:12:19,059 is that I know of is the bomb on and the 1625 01:12:25,310 --> 01:12:21,880 method nita society community in 1626 01:12:28,080 --> 01:12:25,320 Switzerland I think it is yes that he 1627 01:12:29,969 --> 01:12:28,090 apparently has a device could be a hopes 1628 01:12:31,350 --> 01:12:29,979 you know it could be maybe has something 1629 01:12:33,149 --> 01:12:31,360 he doesn't know how it works or maybe 1630 01:12:36,270 --> 01:12:33,159 it's exactly what he thinks that he 1631 01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:36,280 won't let anybody else find out about it 1632 01:12:40,259 --> 01:12:37,690 because he's convinced that it would 1633 01:12:42,270 --> 01:12:40,269 take down civilization they think the 1634 01:12:44,239 --> 01:12:42,280 world is not ready for it right it's 1635 01:12:46,739 --> 01:12:44,249 actually a religious community that 1636 01:12:48,299 --> 01:12:46,749 they're keeping it to themselves or they 1637 01:12:50,399 --> 01:12:48,309 think that if they release it that that 1638 01:12:54,660 --> 01:12:50,409 the the mass death that the changes 1639 01:12:58,890 --> 01:12:54,670 would cause is too much to have on their 1640 01:13:01,500 --> 01:12:58,900 conscience but the front bomb their 1641 01:13:03,330 --> 01:13:01,510 research about such devices going on but 1642 01:13:06,049 --> 01:13:03,340 to my knowledge none of them have been 1643 01:13:09,839 --> 01:13:06,059 completely successful to any 1644 01:13:12,750 --> 01:13:09,849 demonstrable or alive are repeatable 1645 01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:12,760 extent all right if it was then we don't 1646 01:13:18,180 --> 01:13:15,610 rehab them of course I mean if it was 1647 01:13:20,910 --> 01:13:18,190 real well cold fusion is real but it 1648 01:13:22,709 --> 01:13:20,920 lacks the of the financial backing that 1649 01:13:25,709 --> 01:13:22,719 needs to develop it to get out to 1650 01:13:32,850 --> 01:13:25,719 commercial levels yeah oh you're only 1651 01:13:36,029 --> 01:13:32,860 partly right but not completely well I'm 1652 01:13:38,129 --> 01:13:36,039 I want to go back to what dan brought up 1653 01:13:39,569 --> 01:13:38,139 that the question of and appreciate that 1654 01:13:42,180 --> 01:13:39,579 we know we do need to ask this question 1655 01:13:46,589 --> 01:13:42,190 of why are we developing greater and 1656 01:13:48,569 --> 01:13:46,599 greater energy sources and i do i think 1657 01:13:51,049 --> 01:13:48,579 i agree with you Dan that if we do that 1658 01:13:53,879 --> 01:13:51,059 it would create many problems such as 1659 01:13:55,469 --> 01:13:53,889 not having any scarcity you know we 1660 01:13:58,609 --> 01:13:55,479 would not have any consequences for our 1661 01:14:01,890 --> 01:13:58,619 actions and it could be like you said 1662 01:14:03,180 --> 01:14:01,900 sort of catastrophic or dangerous given 1663 01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:03,190 the human condition as it currently 1664 01:14:07,469 --> 01:14:06,010 stands so I think the most important 1665 01:14:09,839 --> 01:14:07,479 thing even more important in finding 1666 01:14:11,009 --> 01:14:09,849 more energy is to change the human 1667 01:14:12,569 --> 01:14:11,019 consciousness or the state of our 1668 01:14:14,459 --> 01:14:12,579 society so that we could deal with that 1669 01:14:16,469 --> 01:14:14,469 energy because with greater energy comes 1670 01:14:17,740 --> 01:14:16,479 greater power and you know we don't 1671 01:14:20,470 --> 01:14:17,750 necessarily have the 1672 01:14:23,770 --> 01:14:20,480 to deal with that power at this point so 1673 01:14:26,350 --> 01:14:23,780 I for I think both teams of research 1674 01:14:29,680 --> 01:14:26,360 going on you know looking at the model 1675 01:14:31,690 --> 01:14:29,690 of Einstein suggesting to President 1676 01:14:35,710 --> 01:14:31,700 Roosevelt about looking into nuclear 1677 01:14:37,510 --> 01:14:35,720 bombs in World War two with no intention 1678 01:14:39,880 --> 01:14:37,520 of that starting a nuclear arms race how 1679 01:14:41,350 --> 01:14:39,890 do we as physicists take responsibility 1680 01:14:43,270 --> 01:14:41,360 for the fact that especially in our 1681 01:14:46,780 --> 01:14:43,280 current world when we do invent an 1682 01:14:48,370 --> 01:14:46,790 important discovery the first people 1683 01:14:51,610 --> 01:14:48,380 interested in it are probably the US 1684 01:14:53,290 --> 01:14:51,620 government for military purposes and how 1685 01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:53,300 do we deal with you know the fact that 1686 01:14:56,770 --> 01:14:54,650 we also take some responsibility for 1687 01:14:58,030 --> 01:14:56,780 that and there's no one controlling the 1688 01:15:00,010 --> 01:14:58,040 use of these things some of these new 1689 01:15:02,410 --> 01:15:00,020 energies will be benign and what I've 1690 01:15:05,230 --> 01:15:02,420 been talking about in in Daniel 2 is 1691 01:15:08,530 --> 01:15:05,240 very difficult to imagine it being 1692 01:15:10,720 --> 01:15:08,540 weaponized ball though it can be useful 1693 01:15:12,730 --> 01:15:10,730 very useful practical somewhat good 1694 01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:12,740 concentration energy levels it's not 1695 01:15:16,720 --> 01:15:14,570 high enough to for the military to take 1696 01:15:18,460 --> 01:15:16,730 interest in it I'm not sure sir you 1697 01:15:21,400 --> 01:15:18,470 could probably make warships and 1698 01:15:23,740 --> 01:15:21,410 submarines which which could use 1699 01:15:26,050 --> 01:15:23,750 seawater and and basically have high 1700 01:15:28,210 --> 01:15:26,060 power density motors and cipher ghazal 1701 01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:28,220 nanotechnology is much more dense and 1702 01:15:33,760 --> 01:15:32,090 that census right but your points 1703 01:15:35,170 --> 01:15:33,770 well-taken I don't know whether we 1704 01:15:36,580 --> 01:15:35,180 should or not I mean I've considered 1705 01:15:38,500 --> 01:15:36,590 abandoning my research for this reason 1706 01:15:40,720 --> 01:15:38,510 but in the but in the short term I think 1707 01:15:42,580 --> 01:15:40,730 the energy deliver were in and the and 1708 01:15:45,430 --> 01:15:42,590 the environmental damage we're doing to 1709 01:15:46,840 --> 01:15:45,440 the world especially wiping out roughly 1710 01:15:48,310 --> 01:15:46,850 half the species within the next hundred 1711 01:15:52,150 --> 01:15:48,320 years which is which would make us a 1712 01:15:53,560 --> 01:15:52,160 mass extinguisher of life I think is the 1713 01:15:55,330 --> 01:15:53,570 greatest crime there is and I think in 1714 01:15:57,910 --> 01:15:55,340 the short term a new energy source is 1715 01:15:59,830 --> 01:15:57,920 almost essential to forestall this or 1716 01:16:01,410 --> 01:15:59,840 eliminate the possibility but in the 1717 01:16:04,090 --> 01:16:01,420 longer term is what I'm worried about 1718 01:16:05,320 --> 01:16:04,100 and so I've teetered about whether I 1719 01:16:09,190 --> 01:16:05,330 should walk away from this or not but 1720 01:16:11,080 --> 01:16:09,200 I'm not going to and one other safeguard 1721 01:16:12,520 --> 01:16:11,090 to some extent is when several of us 1722 01:16:15,490 --> 01:16:12,530 have said 1723 01:16:18,490 --> 01:16:15,500 Daniel that we need to just publish our 1724 01:16:19,930 --> 01:16:18,500 results because if we put it out to 1725 01:16:23,050 --> 01:16:19,940 everybody in sort of a level playing 1726 01:16:27,070 --> 01:16:23,060 field and at that point we can hope that 1727 01:16:29,140 --> 01:16:27,080 the good outweighs the bad I'm intrigued 1728 01:16:34,140 --> 01:16:29,150 by what Daniel said when you said just 1729 01:16:38,100 --> 01:16:34,150 about the negative consequences of 1730 01:16:40,960 --> 01:16:38,110 ubiquitous energy not in too much and I 1731 01:16:42,580 --> 01:16:40,970 imagined that there are two stages with 1732 01:16:44,980 --> 01:16:42,590 this as there are with many things and 1733 01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:44,990 that is as you develop more of it well 1734 01:16:48,280 --> 01:16:46,010 the first thing that's going to happen 1735 01:16:49,780 --> 01:16:48,290 is everybody's going to get an SUV and 1736 01:16:53,650 --> 01:16:49,790 my little car I won't be able to see out 1737 01:16:56,440 --> 01:16:53,660 it's always sad and then people will do 1738 01:16:58,450 --> 01:16:56,450 what Daniel said and you know will rape 1739 01:17:02,100 --> 01:16:58,460 the oceans and do various other things 1740 01:17:04,510 --> 01:17:02,110 but that's sort of a scarcity mentality 1741 01:17:07,480 --> 01:17:04,520 finally when we moved beyond that 1742 01:17:09,910 --> 01:17:07,490 scarcity mentality that's when we can 1743 01:17:12,640 --> 01:17:09,920 become a more civilized civilization and 1744 01:17:16,930 --> 01:17:12,650 we can deal with actually having a 1745 01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:16,940 greater degree of power and and the lack 1746 01:17:20,320 --> 01:17:19,010 of scarcity and I say this you're going 1747 01:17:23,590 --> 01:17:20,330 to laugh because it sounds like a joke 1748 01:17:25,450 --> 01:17:23,600 but I don't mean this as a joke I know 1749 01:17:27,880 --> 01:17:25,460 what it's going to be like in the 23rd 1750 01:17:32,620 --> 01:17:27,890 or 24th century because I watched Star 1751 01:17:35,350 --> 01:17:32,630 Trek in particular the concept of the 1752 01:17:37,420 --> 01:17:35,360 replicator is fascinating because with 1753 01:17:39,610 --> 01:17:37,430 the replicator everybody can have as 1754 01:17:42,790 --> 01:17:39,620 much of anything as they want so things 1755 01:17:44,980 --> 01:17:42,800 have no intrinsic value anymore and at 1756 01:17:46,690 --> 01:17:44,990 first probably when the first person 1757 01:17:48,010 --> 01:17:46,700 will build the replicator you know he'll 1758 01:17:48,960 --> 01:17:48,020 use it for all sorts of terrible things 1759 01:17:51,030 --> 01:17:48,970 and build up 1760 01:17:52,950 --> 01:17:51,040 collect demise early and collect all 1761 01:17:55,080 --> 01:17:52,960 sorts of stuff but eventually when 1762 01:17:57,180 --> 01:17:55,090 everybody's got a Replicators at that 1763 01:17:58,770 --> 01:17:57,190 point we'll be able to deal with it we 1764 01:18:00,390 --> 01:17:58,780 won't have this hair city mentality 1765 01:18:01,980 --> 01:18:00,400 there's a historical precedent to 1766 01:18:05,130 --> 01:18:01,990 actually answer that a little bit and it 1767 01:18:07,230 --> 01:18:05,140 has to do with population every single 1768 01:18:09,030 --> 01:18:07,240 nation on this planet regardless of race 1769 01:18:12,620 --> 01:18:09,040 or culture when they get a certain 1770 01:18:15,990 --> 01:18:12,630 degree of material sufficiency stops 1771 01:18:17,970 --> 01:18:16,000 blossoming their population that is an 1772 01:18:19,230 --> 01:18:17,980 example of we've learned how to get 1773 01:18:20,610 --> 01:18:19,240 beyond the scarcity we need more 1774 01:18:24,170 --> 01:18:20,620 children need more children to take care 1775 01:18:26,520 --> 01:18:24,180 of us if I only say enough we're okay I 1776 01:18:32,720 --> 01:18:26,530 do put a little bit of hope in humanity 1777 01:18:37,830 --> 01:18:35,760 just a brief aside in regard to some 1778 01:18:40,560 --> 01:18:37,840 earlier comments about Tesla given 1779 01:18:43,020 --> 01:18:40,570 research that has been seen in SSC and 1780 01:18:44,730 --> 01:18:43,030 elsewhere about biological effects of 1781 01:18:46,620 --> 01:18:44,740 low frequency radiation I think we 1782 01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:46,630 should be grateful that he was not 1783 01:18:54,540 --> 01:18:48,610 allowed to start the entire Earth 1784 01:18:57,180 --> 01:18:54,550 resonating at eight Hertz but on on to a 1785 01:18:59,430 --> 01:18:57,190 question for the panel um that we've 1786 01:19:04,530 --> 01:18:59,440 been doing some brainstorming about the 1787 01:19:07,350 --> 01:19:04,540 effects of having all of these compact 1788 01:19:10,680 --> 01:19:07,360 energy sources in as much abundance as 1789 01:19:13,770 --> 01:19:10,690 they're needed up but how slow and 1790 01:19:16,110 --> 01:19:13,780 painful is it going to be to get there I 1791 01:19:21,780 --> 01:19:16,120 don't know how much is EPF box costs to 1792 01:19:26,280 --> 01:19:21,790 build but uh it sounds like if the semi 1793 01:19:28,590 --> 01:19:26,290 conductor based approach for a second 1794 01:19:32,340 --> 01:19:28,600 law device pans out we're talking about 1795 01:19:33,960 --> 01:19:32,350 something like a coffee can full of what 1796 01:19:35,520 --> 01:19:33,970 amount to microchips that cost something 1797 01:19:37,980 --> 01:19:35,530 like a hundred dollars an ounce to 1798 01:19:40,260 --> 01:19:37,990 manufacture how rapidly can this 1799 01:19:42,510 --> 01:19:40,270 technology be distributed how how 1800 01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:42,520 quickly do you foresee it spreading I've 1801 01:19:47,370 --> 01:19:44,290 heard historically it takes 40 years for 1802 01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:47,380 any new technology to take hold so if 1803 01:19:51,750 --> 01:19:48,610 you if you look at something like the 1804 01:19:53,670 --> 01:19:51,760 nuclear industry at the time December 42 1805 01:19:56,010 --> 01:19:53,680 and Fermi started the first atomic pile 1806 01:19:57,450 --> 01:19:56,020 to when nuclear power plants became 1807 01:20:00,070 --> 01:19:57,460 ubiquitous it was 30 years something 1808 01:20:01,810 --> 01:20:00,080 like that but that was a crash course so 1809 01:20:03,670 --> 01:20:01,820 point energy I've actually priced it out 1810 01:20:05,770 --> 01:20:03,680 because we've talked to investors in 1811 01:20:10,360 --> 01:20:05,780 various other people and it ends up that 1812 01:20:13,270 --> 01:20:10,370 a kilowatt system is far less than a 1813 01:20:17,620 --> 01:20:13,280 hundred dollars and it's producible with 1814 01:20:20,230 --> 01:20:17,630 today's technology just to give you 1815 01:20:22,990 --> 01:20:20,240 specifics we need lots of little 1816 01:20:25,120 --> 01:20:23,000 nanotubes and so on it's essentially a 1817 01:20:27,640 --> 01:20:25,130 CD technology so the way that you make 1818 01:20:30,190 --> 01:20:27,650 cds or dvds and stamp them out we make a 1819 01:20:31,990 --> 01:20:30,200 stack of 20 of those it requires a pump 1820 01:20:34,900 --> 01:20:32,000 the pump is pretty much the same as 1821 01:20:39,349 --> 01:20:34,910 you'd use in an aquarium and a few 1822 01:20:46,829 --> 01:20:41,969 somehow I guess this would be a very 1823 01:20:49,589 --> 01:20:46,839 stimulating evening okay it's now nine
