An Energy Alternative: Free Energy from Empty Space
Today's magic is tomorrow's technology.
You may have heard the phrase “free energy device”, but what underlying concepts drive the device? Is this device collecting and transmitting energy from some source that orthodox science does not recognize (voodoo energy). Can a device collect energy at absolutely no cost like the legendary perpetual motion machine. For most of us, a perpetual motion machine — a machine which runs forever, once turned on, without needing additional energy input ever again — is impossible.

The biggest claim of the proponents of “free” energy is that enormous amounts of energy can be drawn from the Zero Point Field. This is a quantum mechanical state of matter for a defined system. The Zero Point is attained when the system is at the lowest possible energy state that it can be in. This is called the “ground state” of the system. The term 'zero-point' simply means that if the universe were cooled down to absolute zero where all thermal agitation effects were frozen out, a certain amount of energy would still remain. This Zero Point Energy (ZPE) is sometimes referred to as “residual” energy. It was first proposed to be usable as an alternative form of energy way back in 1913 by Otto Stern and Albert Einstein. Also referred to as “vacuum energy” in studies of quantum mechanics, ZPE is supposed to represent the energy of totally empty space.
What is this energy field within the vacuum like? Imagine the froth at the base of a waterfall suggests one of the principal researchers into and proponents of using this energy, Hal Puthof. Well, that may not make sense to you, but practicing physicists find this imagery useful as they look into the implications that derive from this known aspect of quantum physics. Questions as to whether it might be possible to 'mine' this reservoir of energy for use as an alternative energy source, or whether this background energy field might be responsible for inertia and gravity are being asked. It is known that this energy can be manipulated, and therefore there is the possibility that the control of this energy, and possibly inertia and gravity, might yield to engineering solutions beyond today's imagination.
Some progress has been made in a subcategory of this field (cavity quantum electrodynamics) with regard to controlling the emission rates of excited atoms and molecules, useful in laser research and elsewhere. So other advances are possible.
Someday, the energy that lies in the vacuum of space itself will be at our command. Until then, conserve, use solar energies and be wise about how you use fossil fuels.
