I don't have the references but last year there was a biography released on Nikola Tesla. A fact that fascinated me was that at the end of his career he was obsessed in finding the Earth's magnetic fields and tapping into them. He wished in this way to furnish every one over the planet with free energy.
It saddens me to witness the struggles of that many people putting so much faith in concepts that are totally unattainable such as the perpetual movement or the perfect free energy or the San Graal for that matter. So much talent wasted!
Nothing pertaining to phenomenons originating of this planet is free. To every action there is a reaction, how ever unprobable it may seem.
I have a friend who is a civil engineer for the city I live in. One of his personal goals and private research is to find the secrets of antigravity. When one is confronted to his goals for the first time, one faces two options; the guy is a cukcoo or a genius. The limit is that narrow. You really have to tame your first impressions and spend a lot of time trying to see things through his points of view before you can really make yourself an idea of the reality of his goals. His sensitivity towards problems we face energy-wise is such that you can't even consider he'll fail. He brings you arguments to every problem showing how thorough his thinking is. Example: I pointed to him that if we built and installed wind turbines across the world, 1.5 million was the estimated number of units needed to cover for all energy needs including transport and heating and electricity for the whole of earth's population. Without hesitation he said, that would slow down the actual wind movements of the whole planet, then create a greenhouse effect and in a couple thousand years even change the rotation speed of the planet! That answer really startled me!
He was the person who told me that the best source of energy should come from a source other than our planet. That makes sense, a lot of sense. The closest source is the sun. If every roof top of every man made construction was covered with PV panels, all our energy needs could be resolved with a surplus. In this way we would not encroach further on Nature. Why are we not going that way?
Mystery and fears have always had a knack to cloud simple judgement calls and this newer free energy claim is perfect proof.
