9:10 Tom Valone - "Breakthroughs in ZPE and Remaining New Energy Problems"
Abstract: Recently, a lot of media attention has been paid to the sea of
energy that pervades all of space. It just happens to be the biggest sea of
energy that is known to exist and we're floating inside it. Not only is it
big but its energy is estimated to exceed nuclear energy densities, so even
a small piece of it is worth its weight in gold. What is it? Many people
are not sure what "zero point energy" (ZPE) is. Most agree that virtual
particle fluctuation contributes to it and van der Waals forces don't
explain everything. Does it offer a source of unlimited, free energy for
homes, cars and space travel? Depending on who we talk to, ZPE can do
everything and ZPE can do nothing useful. How can the energy be converted
to a usable form? What are the basic explanations of ZPE and the new
discoveries, which have hit Physical Review Letters, Science, Scientific
American, and the New York Times? Why is ZPE implicated in the latest
confirmation of "cosmological antigravity"? Can the Casimir effect be a
source of energy? This paper gives a review of the latest developments as
well as an introduction to the topic.

"Criteria for Electrodynamics in the next Millennium"
Abstract: Whatever formulation of electrodynamics is adopted in the next
millennium must satisfy four criteria:
1. Mathematical criteria: the mathematical formulation must be valid in all
curvilinear coordinate
systems and it must be expressed in terms of holors rather than being
limited to tensors.
2. Postulational criteria: it must be based on a postulate on the velocity
of light and on either an equation for the force between moving charges or
expressions for the divergence and curl of field vectors.
3. Gaussian criteria: the equation for the force between moving charges must
be a function of relative velocity and must take into account the finiteness
of the velocity of light.
4.Experimental verification: it must be possible to predict all known
experimental results from the formulation of electrodynamics.
2:45 Prof. Panos T. Pappas -
"Na-K Nuclear Transmutation Inside the Living Cell"
Abstract: In this paper, we prove under controlled experiments with human
subjects that potassium may increase in the presence of excess sodium. This
suggests a sodium-potassium cold nuclear transmutation process in Human
Biology in the presence of oxygen and electrical excitation. This nuclear
phenomenon is the most important process to sustain the living cell and its
physiology. The complete physiology of the sodium and potassium of the cell
and in extension of the sodium-potassium physiology of the human body is
understood and explained without "not understood artifact" mechanisms and
contradictions of the so called sodium-potassium pump of the cell.
This fusion is the basis of understanding several other mechanisms and
similar cold nuclear fusion and transmutations in Biology and Medicine. The
exact reverse cold nuclear phenomenon also takes place in the living cell,
leading to a triggered nuclear exothermic fission of K to Na and O that
keeps the heart beating and the muscles moving and producing work.
"The Lost Unified Theory, The Ring Model of the Electron of 1915."
Abstract: The ring model of electron was suggested by Parson in 1915, and
contemporary is studied by Lucas, Bergman, Wesley Bostick, Pappas, and
others. Obviously, It consists a better, however, unexplored model than the
model of Quantum Mechanics. It explains more completely the atomic spectra,
including the new experimental verified radiation in the range of 80 - 650
A, (Labov, 1990) for hydrogen and helium which is not explained or predicted
by classical Quantum Mechanics.

"Inertial Field Theory, A Radical Change of Pace"
Abstract: Inertial Field Technologies are those innovations which assume
-- and thereafter physically demonstrate -- the reality of an "Inertial
field". This inertial field can be shown to couple with the gravitational
field in much the same manner as the magnetic field couples with the
electric, and in fact, it can be shown that Maxwell's Equations -- which
succinctly describe the duality of electromagnetism -- can be modified to
describe a gravity-inertial coupling duality as well. This establishment of
a fundamental inertial field has enormous theoretical and profoundly
practical implications.
Inertial Field Technologies (IFT) are based initially on work done in the
early 1960s by pioneers in the field, such as William O. Davis, G. Harry
Stine, and others. The very significant research by these investigators
has, inexplicably, never been pursued by mainstream scientific research.
However, in the last several years considerable strides, extending the early
work, have been made both experimentally and theoretically by the author and
his associates in the field of IFT and the results have been remarkable. Of
particular interest is the possibility that a vast array of physical
phenomena -- everything from sonoluminescence to superconductivity to basic
principles of physics (including Mach's Principle, Heisenberg's Uncertainty
Principle, Bell's Theorem / EPR Paradox, and so forth) can be incorporated
into a single "SuperNewtonian Mechanics". These theories and implications
for applications of the technology to the Quantum Genesis Inertial Field
Electrical Generator are briefly touched upon in this paper.
Of particular importance is the ability of Inertial Field Theory to direct
researchers simultaneously toward over-unity energy systems and propulsions
systems which do not require reaction mass. The latter is significant in
that it transcends so-called "anti-gravity" systems in that a gravity field
(such as the earth) may not be required in order to achieve significant
propulsive thrust. In terms of an energy system, there is no fuel of any
kind to burn, transform, and otherwise modify -- and thus there is no waste
product. Instead, by the "simple" expedient of tweaking the rest of the
universe in a clever way, unlimited amounts of energy may be obtained. The
fundamental and really interesting aspect in Inertial Field Theory is
achieving a "radical change of pace", a condition which is discussed in this
paper in some detail.
4:30 Tom Bearden's Paper -
"On the Use of Time-Domain Energy in Nuclear Reactions"
Abstract: Recent work by advanced theoreticians of the Alpha Foundation's
Institute of Advanced Study has dramatically applied and extended
fundamental work by E.T. Whittaker shortly after the turn of the century.
The AIAS work has shown a primal importance in physics for time-like EM
entities more fundamental than EM fields and not covered by the present
Maxwell-Heaviside theory. In fact, these uncovered time-like entities
create EM fields, potentials, and waves when the entities interact with
mass. In this paper we hypothesize some novel time-domain interactions with
ions in electrolyte solutions in low energy nuclear reaction (LENR)
experiments. An engineerable mechanism previously proposed by the present
author for the propagation of a mass through time is briefly presented. An
argument is introduced for considering time as a special form of highly
dense energy compressed by at least c-squared, and the nature of the photon
interaction is extended. Polarization transduction mechanisms previously
proposed by the author are reiterated. In the photon interaction, we
postulate an interaction with mass of the time-energy component transported
by the photon in addition to the known interaction by its transported
spatial-energy component. With transduction, this produces "anomalous"
energy and requires extension of the conservation of energy law to include
net sum of spatial energy, mass-energy, and time-energy.
Some interactions of time-energy with ions in an electrolyte solution are
proposed. Mechanisms are given for proton, proton-proton, deuteron, and
proton-deuteron clustering, as well as why the Coulomb barrier is reversed
and why the normal nuclear force region is weakened and additionally
involved. Exact equations are given for the production of tritium and alpha
particles by isobaric decay (quark flipping) in nucleons in quasi-nuclei and
in the nucleons of deuteron-deuteron clustering. It is pointed out that the
new time-domain processes are not low energy reactions at all, although low
spatial energy carriers are utilized. Instead, the reactions are extremely
high energy reactions, more energetic than presently utilized in colliding
beams.
We propose the use of such time-domain interactions as a new form of high
energy physics utilized with low energy carriers and local wave polarization
transduction. The work is still primarily conceptual in nature and requires
further theoretical investigation. However it meets the requirement of
consistency with all the phenomena found in hundreds of "low energy" nuclear
interactions, and also fits severe instrument anomalies in similar
electrolyte experiments at China Lake. Since consistency is a necessary
though not sufficient requirement for model validation, we urge theoretical
physicists to examine these concepts more extensively and more rigorously.
5:00 Moray King - "Transforming the Planet"
Abstract: A review of some of the best "free energy" inventions of the past
25 years, viewed with the hypothesis of charged clusters as the energy
intermediary to the zero-point energy, yield sufficient insight to
construct a free-running energy demonstration device. The review includes
Papp's noble gas engine, Gray's pulsed capacitor discharge motor, Graneau's
electric discharge water explosions, Correa's pulsed abnormal glow
discharge plasma tubes, Brown's nuclear battery, Hyde's electric generator,
Sweet's conditioned barium ferrite, light water "cold fusion" experiments,
and Shoulder's charge cluster research. Combining their research yields a
pattern.
5:30 Don Reed -
"Torsion Field Research and Implications for New Physics and
Energy Technologies"
Abstract: An overview of torsion field research is given, with emphasis on
work done in the former Soviet Union. Connections are made to various other
research into anomalous energies as well as key esoteric sources. An
outline is given for transformation of current physics paradigms and energy
technology in light of this new knowledge.

8:00 Jin-Fox - "Particle Accelerator Using High-Density Charge Clusters"
Abstract: Conventional ion accelerators use high voltages to accelerate
ions (especially protons) to high energies and use these ions to impact
target materials. Currently, some officials propose to increase the funding
of such particle accelerators to provide means by which high-level
radioactive materials can be stabilized. This paper discusses the role of
high-density charge clusters and their ability to carry positive ions as the
basis for a greatly-improved particle accelerator for the on-site
stabilization of high-level radioactive wastes, such as spent fuel pellets
from nuclear power plants.
8:20 Dr. Edward G. Price -
"Reaching New Power Density and Efficiency in Magnetic Materials"
Abstract: Soft magnetic materials are essential components in many devices
and are indispensable in modern engineering and electronic systems. The
wide rage applications, the steadily rising demand on the quality of
components, devices and systems and ever-increasing specialization call for
a careful selection from the materials available in order to achieve the
optimum solution.
A relatively new family of nanocrystalline materials possess a combination
of outstanding characteristics, which is offered by no other soft magnetic
material. This presentation will review the coming together of electricity
and magnetics, leading to the development of exciting new possibilities
among available materials, and thus give a designer much more latitude in
selection of the best material of the application. Many specific
applications will be discussed, but particularly the excellent property of
permeability versus field strength for toroidal cores at various air gaps.
8:50 Prof. D. Spencer -
"Development of the Universal Time Postulate on the Velocity
of Light"
Abstract: The paper traces the story of how and why the universal time
postulate was suggested by Moon and Spencer in 1956. It is compared with
the 1905 and 1907 postulates suggested by Einstein and the 1908 postulate of
Ritz. The experiments which have hitherto been analyzed are consistent with
the universal time postulate in a Euclidean space. Both of the Einstein
postulates are inconsistent with some of the experiments that have been
analyzed. The Ritz postulate is incompatible with the astronomical data on
the binary stars unless it is assumed that space is Riemannian rather than
Euclidean.

"The Development of the New Gaussian Equation for the Force between Moving
Charges"
Abstract: The paper traces the development of the new Gaussian equation
for the force between moving charges over nearly two centuries and the
consideration of over a hundred possible equations. The related new
Gaussian form of the Maxwell equations is also presented. Today it appears
to be necessary to consider only three equations: the Weber equation, the
classical equation associated with the Maxwell equations and the new
Gaussian equation. Three experiments have already been analyzed on a
comparative basis: the Hering furnace, overhead welding and the unipolar
generator. In each case only the new Gaussian equation gives predictions
that agree with experiment. Many other experiments remain to be analyzed.
These include charge clusters, high velocity accelerators and the many
beautiful experiments of Peter and Neal Graneau.

"Corona Discharge Photography Insights into Study of Charge Clusters"
Abstract: High-voltage discharge processes are currently in the spotlight
of speculation for providing insights into new energy concepts and
transmutation phenomena. Corona discharge photography investigations of
the 1970s, by investigators in the Soviet Union, Romania, England and the
United States, are relevant to some of the current charge cluster
observations made by Shoulders, Jin and Fox and the glow discharge work of
Correa. This presentation places corona discharge studies, including the
historically controversial Kirlian Photography observations, into a
historical perspective along with new information. Extensive references will
be provided as well as introductions to some obscure corona discharge
observations made by this investigator and others. One such observation
will be presented as a short video using a pair of low light level cameras
to view a persistent, oscillating, glow-discharge region induced between a
machined aluminum rod and a transparent glass plate forming a capacitor.
The persistent discharge phenomena, within a portion of this "transparent
capacitor" region, lasts for many minutes after being initiated by a single,
fast rise time, high voltage pulse. This persistent discharge may represent
an energy anomaly.
10:30 Ed Pangman - "The Process of Existence"
Abstract: Times, as a sub-quantum physical moving isotropic medium,
literally powers the universe. Electrodynamic in nature, time will easily
be harnessed as an energy source. This can be accomplished with simple and
basic textbook examples of applied electrostatics. We will be able to use
the very Process of Existence to power all energy using appliances and to
run better modes of transportation for a cleaner, safer and a better
preserved world.
First electric motors will become more efficient as their operation evolves
to resemble that of a tank circuit which runs harmoniously between a
capacitor and an inductor. As this happens, all airplane engines and
automobile engines will need but one moving part and only one battery and no
fuels (instead of a whole trunk full of batteries or a tank full of fuel),
as well as have unlimited range.
Almost simultaneously, solid state battery-like devices will be able to
directly convert the physical flow of time into electricity. Using special
capacitors, unlike any in use today, we will be able to focus the flow of
time energy and create biased space which can be used for energy production
and motors with no moving parts. Literally, warp drive or antigravity will
be able to take us to the stars at superluminal velocities. Communication
will also become superluminal.

11:30 Paul Rowe's Paper - "The Rowe Effect and Transmutation"
Abstract: Hal Fox published a paper of mine1 which attempted to demonstrate
that hydrogen gas has been produced in and from vacuum. It included direct
quotes from many highly respected experimenters, along with results of my
own experiments. Hal named the transformation of vacuum into hydrogen:
"the Rowe Effect" In subsequent papers2-3-4, I have proposed that vacuum
is not a void but a rather a highly concentrated matrix of protons and
electrons and suggested that the matrix might be Bose-Einstein condensed
hydrogen. In this speech, I will attempt to show that presence of such a
matrix is not as unlikely as it seems and that neutrons produced in or from
such a matrix might cause transmutation while avoiding the Coulomb barrier.
In the process, I will discuss physical phenomena that many scientists have
forgotten that they can't explain.

"Importance of Non-Dimensional Numbers in Cold Fusion"
Abstract: We propose reexamination of the use of non-dimensional numbers as
a method to improve the performance and reliability of cold fusion systems.
In particular, we suggest the use of the peak power gain at the optimal
operating point (OOP) to better characterize a material and its
configuration in a cold fusion system. OOPs are observed when cold fusion
systems are analyzed by careful calorimetry [1-11] and thermal power
spectroscopy [12-17]. As shown here, driving a cold fusion system at the
optimal operating point may enable more accurate determinations of the
activity of these materials and a better understanding of how activity
changes during loading or at different locations along the input electrical
power axis.
2:00 Dr. David Yurth - "Variations on the Maharishi Model:
An Integration of Consciousness and the Unified Field"
Abstract: Proposes that all phenomena in the material world arise from a
unified causal plane denominated as Consciousness. Discusses numerous
observable phenomena not accommodated by the current model of quantum
mechanics, superstring theory, supersymmetry, spontaneously broken symmetry,
conventional mathematical descriptions of the four primary fields and a
variety of related dynamics arising from Einstein's Special and General
theories of Relativity. Proposes a holographic fractal-based "spin glass"
model wich incorporates the attributes of a fifth primary field and the
LaGrange points described in super string theory with the harmonic
resonances of the ancient Hindu text known as the Rig Veda.
2:30 Harold Aspden's Paper - "The Aspden Effect"
Abstract: In search for an abundant source of energy that will not add to
the pollution of our planet the logical starting point is the three messages
that Nature offers. These are the delivery of energy involved in three
natural phenomena (1) the creation of protons as the dominant component of
matter, (2) the quantum of action which keeps electrons in atoms in a state
of perpetual motion and (3) the action which causes stars and planets to
spin. the influences which are at work in all three of these messages are
now creeping into experiments aimed at new energy technology and it is due
time that we recognized what Mother Nature is telling us.
2:45 Toby Grotz - "Increased Efficiency Gas Discharge Lighting Circuit"
Abstract: This paper presents the recent measurements of gas discharge
lamps using switching circuits that provide better conversion of electrical
energy to light. This circuitry results in spectral amplitude shifting.
Current research has centered around the use of a spectral amplitude
switching circuit that nearly doubles the light output from mercury vapor
lamps while doubling efficiency.
