Well, this calls for some quantum theory. In our world charged particles
such as electrons influence each other by exchanging photons, the
fundamental unit of all forms of electromagnetism called light. Any
object then is surrounded by a swarm of photons. Photons have energy,
and as you state - E= mc^2. On occasion (subject to Heisenbergs
uncertanty principle) photons temporarily transform themselves into
matched pairs of what is called 'virtual' particles. On half of each pair
is made up of matter, the other antimatter. The anti particle is
negatively charged where the other is positively charged and called
a positron. These particles pop in and out of existance in a millionth
of a billionth of a second or faster. The photon can borrow energy
from the vacuum as long as it returns it almost instantly. The net
electrical charge is zero, so nothing is added. What overunity people
try to do, is to use quadrature phase conjugation (Bearden) to
suck off the positrons. The vacuum will supply the necessary energy
to replentish the source. In order to suck this off, I would think a
very high spike or a Dirac pulse would be necesary to implement this
process. High voltage but no current!
Wire, for instance, has motional electrons in it. What we need to do is
to spike the wire with a Dirac pulse and collect the electrons at the
other end. Bearden describes how to achieve this - but I don't think
anyone practically has to date.
