A quick correction and an apology to Bill AND Jerry AND everyone...
Now that Bill is moderating Vortex-L, he forwarded Jerry's message to =
me. That's why I mistakenly thought Bill wrote the message. Sorry, =
Bill.

Also, I want to say that I meant no "blame" for anything. The word =
"blame" indicates that something wrong was done and that is not the case =
here. Jerry did nothing wrong.

Now for the rest of Jerry's replies...

It was this comparison to my work that I immediately became worried =
about (not offended) because I could just picture in my mind everyone =
saying to themselves, "OK, I see... this claim of ZPE's is just another =
unfounded crackpot idea that has no real basis just like all the rest." =
In fact, shortly after I began composing my initial reply to your post, =
I received a response from the "3rd party validation" source that I am =
currently negotiating with that indicated this kind of perception. John =
Steck's response, "Hey, that setup looks darn familiar...... 8^) Is it =
too early to say I told you so? hee hee hee" also seems to indicate that =
perception. Needless to say, damage control was the order of the day at =
that point.

Please understand, I did not get upset with anyone. In fact I encourage =
everyone to challenge me. I see it as the best way to shore up my =
claims (short of disclosing too much). I've never made it any secret =
that I cannot reveal my secrets...yet, and I understand anyone trying to =
"figure it out" as a result of our announcement. It's my guess that, =
until our announcement, most have discounted in their own minds the REAL =
possibility that there is any F/E ability in a gaseous vortex. Our =
announcement has probably changed this to a degree.

* If we didn't care, we'd just blow you off and not respond in any way,

As I have said above and in a few of my other posts, having readers =
challenge me is the best thing I could ask for. This is because it =
gives me a chance to meet that challenge in a way that can add to my =
credibility. Of course, I run the risk of the reverse happening if I =
can't meet the challenge, however, when you actually have the answer, =
the challenges are easy to meet. My family and friends have been =
challenging me for many years. That's why I have their full support =
today. I've been able to meet their challenges without fail. Several =
of them have graciously offered their services by joining me in this =
venture (albeit far below what is really needed to achieve full success, =
hence our announcement).

I think you (and probably a lot of readers) misunderstand something (due =
to my lack of explaining myself on this). I fully agree with what you =
are saying about gravity in the sense that the macroscopic force we call =
gravity could actually be a physical manifestation of a more complex =
reality involving an aetheric energy or ZPE. However, Dennard gives no =
real indication of this concept in his web pages. This leads me to =
believe that Dennard thinks there is a surplus source of energy in the =
potential energy available in matter due to its relative vertical =
position that can be somehow endlessly tapped when matter falls downward =
within a gravitational field. This is evidenced in his statements such =
as, "Gravity is accepted as a viable form of power in our hydroelectric =
technology and our understanding of the power in falling water due to =
gravity. The concept of rotating water due to the force of gravity is =
the idea behind Whirlpower .".=20

I also want to apologize for my apparent "condescending" attitude toward =
Dennard. While I am guilty of maybe having a little fun with my =
responses by interjecting a little humor or sarcasm, I never meant to =
demean him. He is to be commended for being innovative and bold. I =
just think he needs to brush up on his knowledge of physics before =
developing a "dream inspired" concept to the degree he has. I would =
have to say that my "off-color" attitude was a direct result of my =
needing to scramble for "damage control" due to the perceived misguided =
conclusions that were drawn as a result of Dennard's theory being =
compared to mine. I need to be more careful in the future and avoid all =
"knee-jerk" reactions like that one.

While many will be able to test it for themselves, it is certainly more =

Construction from scratch will require extreme precision that is simply =

Thanks for reading.
