Something you might find of interesting about order out of
chaos...look what is going around another list;
=====================
Hi Stefan, Jean-Louis, and Sergio,
This indeed very interesting. It will take me some time to
understand the math.
Ideas like this have been discussed before on vortex-L and freenrg-L
but these people have obviously taken it very seriously.
As I understand them, the "varicond" is probably a barium titanate
capacitor. Barium titanate is a ferroelectric material and has a
very high dielectric constant ( K ). Capacitors made with barium
titanate
dielectrics increase capacitance as they are charged.
I found the following information helpful:

I am convinced that some way to organize microscopic fluctuations such
as heat and ZPE must exist. After all, it is possible to tap larger
scale fluctuations like ocean waves, why not microscopic
fluctuations which are everywhere present. Look at talc (baby
powder) or diatoms in a drop of water and you can see the fluctuations
(brownian motion).
I like to call such an organization of fluctuations, "fluctuation
coherence".
(I LOVE THAT TERM!!..<G>...JWD)
A device employing fluctuation coherence would be able to tap an
infinite source of energy which is everywhere available.
It would be a perpetual motion machine of the 2nd kind. An apparent
violation of the 2nd law of Thermodynamics, but not really, just
unexpected by conventiona physics and engineering.
What is needed is a microscopic mechanism that can interact in large
numbers in a cooperative manor to order the energy. Ferromagnetic
and ferroelectric effects occur because of interacting atomic and
molecular actions. It would seem that these materials would be prime
choices for consideration.
I have little doubt that such mechanism exist in ferromagnetic and
ferroelectric phenomena and by other means such as in transient
electron conduction phenomena (plasmas).
The problem is, although a fluctuation coherence may exist, it could
easily getlost in the other chaos that works to destroy order. A
kind of battle of good (order) and evil (entropy). It would be easy
to miss the good effects in the noise.
Mechanisms may exist within ferroelectric materials that could be used
to cohere fluctuations but they could also be easily overlooked and
lost if care is not taken to "bring them out of the noise".
About the variconds or barium titanate capacitors, I think they are
readily available, but I am checking on this now. Some of them are
used at high voltage.
Maybe the effects described by Nicola Zaev and Sergei Godin work
better at high voltage like maybe T.H. Moray did with his radiant
energy device.
He talked about very high dielectric materials and 1 farad capacitors
that he claimed he made in his book "The Sea of Energy".
This is a little off track, but I wonder what would happen if you
doped the barium titanate with a small amount of an alpha emitter.
Paul Brown and John Moreland have discussed the benefits of this as
applied to transformers, inductors, and in semiconductor materials.
Maybe the effect would be enhanced.
We need to check out these experimental results by Nicola Zaev and
Sergei Godin more carefully.
There are probably many ways to tap ambient energy, but this maybe one
of the best.

I posted an article on fluctuation coherence and one possible device
that may have already employed it on a small scale at:
