A SURVEY OF RESEARCH IN THE AREA OF "FREE ENERGY"
Jeanne Manning is a freelance journalist who has also written books such as 'Breakthrough Power: How Quantum-leap New Energy Inventions Can Transform Our World,' 'Angels Don't Play This HAARP,' etc.
She said in the Foreword that this 1996 book "describes the rapid progress in making available a source of energy that many of us in the scientific community believe will radically change the face of the earth---zero-point energy from quantum fluctuations in the vacuum of space. Many people call this 'space energy' or 'free energy.'" (Pg. ix)
She wrote in the Preface, "The aim of this book is (to) introduce you to this fascinating world, the implications of which should be discussed publicly. Issues raised by the prospect of cheap electrical power and decentralized sources of abundant, clean energy are crucial to the economies of countries, and to the well-being of individuals. This book is intended to be a discussion-starter." (Pg. xxiv)
She poses the question, "how could the suppression of 'free energy' technology have been so complete, so airtight for so long? If our governments and scientists are ignoring the obvious, why haven't market forces gotten wind of this and briskly moved ahead?... most inventors are underfunded or have been 'bought out' in exchange for keeping their trade secrets under wraps. This closes them off from sharing knowledge ... that I feel will become necessary to develop this new industry." (Pg. xv) There is also opposition from groups such as "a well-funded army of fossil-fuel lobbyists." (Pg. 12)
She argues, "If the laws of the land were not so blatantly in favor of the corporation, and harassment in all its forms would disappear, perhaps the beleaguered independent inventor would have a better chance of succeeding." (Pg. 168)
Whatever the merits and demerits of Free Energy, Manning's book is an interesting and useful survey (albeit now nearly thirty years old).
