Intellectual New Technologies –Golly!
The modern electronics creates the conditions for the practical realization of huge possibilities from a physical vacuum. The present level of electronics, using special circuit designs, has the possibility of operating at subnanosecond time intervals, producing the conditions for obtaining a huge power in pulse regime sufficient for exiting the vacuum. Vacuum energy is a new kind of power engineering. It represents a new class of electronic and torsion vacuum-energy generation. As the power engineering of the future, widely using such electronic techniques, it is beyond the present fuel-fired generation, being a new type of electronic power engineering, using vacuum effects in co-ordinates. In small, compact energy generators, one can achieve the very high density of energy necessary to excite the vacuum to the near-critical state, producing new charge-carriers of a macro-level energy, obtained from co-ordinates of the Solar gravity-torsion constant.
Clear as mud.
Hi,
Energy from a vaccum hasn’t been overlooked – it’s an important part of Quantum Theory.
I think (though it’s difficult to tell from the origional article) that the author is possibly looking at an application of the Cazimer effect:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casimir_effect
Although it could also be a lot of hot air, something which it is possible to extract useful energy from 🙂

Maybe Homeland Security can put up a drywall curtain to keep these “ideas” out.
Looks like someone has both a dictionary and a thesaurus.
Hmm. Give the man a break. The Casimir Effect is an experimentally very well-established science fact (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casimir_effect ). More and more people with their heads usually screwed on right are gradually growing to believe there indeed really might be something to the so called “zero point energy” from vacuum (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-point_energy). People inlcuding Sir Arthur C. Carke (inventor of the geostationary satellite orbit for comsats and knighted SF-author), Buzz Aldrin, researchers at Calphysics Institute, NASA’s Glenn Research Center, and BAE Systems etc.
Yes, this text reads like gobbledegook, certainly on a first and cursory reading. But, come on, it was written by a non-native English speaker (a Ukranian). Probably it is a badly mangled translation from Russian… and all this in a very cutting-edge extremely complex emerging science & technology field involving quantum physics etc. If you give it a close reading -after reading up on zero-point energy etc.- it will start making a lot more sense. Yes, it’s entirely possible that this man is barking up the wrong tree, is totally worng about everything etc. Then again, he could be on to something.
My point is: I usually love your inimitable flavor of snarky commentary, but this one feels gratuitous and undiscriminating. If you happen to lack the field-specific scientific literacy to level constructive criticism at this man’s work, don’t give him a bad time juts because you happen to not be able to penetrate his complex text written in bad technical English. So give him a break… or better, if you actually care: see what YOU might do about providing his interesting and potentially extremely valuable work with better translation / English-language technical writing. You may just turn out to be instrumental in discovering a gem in the rough, for the benefit of all mankind.
Tesla, Edison, Einstein etc…. frequently appeared to talk and write totally opaque and impenetrable language… to those who lacked their scientific jargon… and prodigous intelligence.
Appearances all too often are deceptive.

Theoretical Physics and Cosmology reads like a LSD trip today. Could be decades or more before any practical use, if at all. It’s fun to think about, and makes for better SciFi.
All Your Base Are Belong To Us
Arthur C. Clarke invented the geostationary satellite? Really? When did he launch it? Oh wait, are you going to credit science fiction writers with “inventing” everything they dream up? They’d love it. Get out the patent applications!
As for my mocking impractical notions because I’m a science idiot — I guess it is time to turn my sights back on the Striling engine, eh?
i am guessing that no one on the dvorak.org staff watches either of the Stargate series.
Yes, Clarke really did invent the concept of the goestationary comsat and is duly credited for it. Thanks, Smartalix. John: maybe we should indeed start questioning your science literacy.
On that point though -in spite of your not knowing about Clarke’s orbit- I strongly doubt you are that much of science idiot. Your technical head is screwed on prety well and you know it. So, please, by all means, do mock genuinely impractical notions to your heart’s content. It is a big part of your entertainment value.
But don’t go poo-pooing something just because you happen not to have the background for it. If you can’t say anything intelligent about it, then just stay away from that topic. In this particular case, you do seem to have acted like the gratuitously mocking, undiscriminating science idiot… which you usually are not…
As Smartalix also very correctly pointed out there as yet is no clear way to use the forces involved in the Casimir Effect. “The quantum foam does exist, it just can’t be harnessed with existing technology.” So, the piece -in very bad English- by this Ukrainian man suggests that he may have found that way. Perhaps he hasn’t and perhaps he’s a total charlatan. But he might.
What’s gobbledegook to you may -with proper translation- be supremely innovative, groundbreaking stuff to, in this case, people steeped in quantum physics and the physics of energy.
John, please also stick to the point. This topic is about energy from vacuum… which an increasing number of duly accredited and exceedingly smart people agree seems likely to become exploitable at some point in the future (assuming our Ukranian manhas got things wrong),… not about the sterling engine.

#10 — loved the movie — can’t stand Richard Dean Anderson.
Battlestar Galactica rules! In HD it rules so well it hurts!
something to ponder..
We have Wave power generators, and would love to place them along many coasts. But those best locations, are owned by Very rich people. and they contend that it would destroy the View, and so forth. so Few have been installed.
Hmmm, we are back to Zero Point Energy and Torsion Fields, eh? I wouldn’t be too fast to write off this field of study. This all goes back to the Grand Unification Theory and could well include the true nature of time and space.
For all the science laymans like myself out there, check out the book “The Hunt for Zero Point”. It will give you a Freshman 101 course explanation of torsion fields, space/time, zero point energy, and its potential for limitless energy, time manipulation, and anti-gravity.
This is mind bending stuff. I know most people will dismiss it as bunk but it is fun to think about. I hope that they can make it all work someday, if someone hasn’t figured it out already and isn’t telling us.
Borginis: Nice Engrish!
It has been told to me, about a mutiple filed generator.
The main side ran as a Generator, and the Second side rotated, in reverse.
Supposedly, this created a field of power about 1 mile in diameter, and they will never use it, as they couldnt control it., as it fed back into itself.
These princaples have been used in air conditioning and refrigeration for decades folks.
Cripes.
I expend less energy vacuuming a carpet than sweeping it, unless you factor in finding the damned thing (batchelor home), hooking it all up, turning up the couch, counting all the change found thereunder, changing the bag (after a few years they get pretty full) and having to switch plugs ’cause the cat (we are sinced divorced) chewed it through and I had to splice it shorter. Yeah, vacuums work pretty well, although I haven’t a clue to what the rest of the post is about.
