AN OPEN LETTER TO ALL WORKING ON ALTERNATE ENERGY
|
|
|
|
November 1, 1991
|
|
|
|
Paul Brown
|
|
c/o: P.O. Box 201.

Los Altos, CA 94023
|
|
|
|
Greetings,
|
|
|
|
I have been involved with alternate energy research since 1978,
|
|
while still a college student. Over the years I have heard many
|
|
nightmare stories about people who developed something significant
|
|
only to be persecuted, harassed, prosecuted, and even killed.
|
|
|
|
I was sure that these stories were exaggerated or possibly the
|
|
result of the inventor's own paranoia or such. Further, I met
|
|
several inventors whom I felt were their own worst enemies (via
|
|
fabrications of their imaginations) which confirmed my beliefs.
|
|
|
|
As time went on, and in about 1982, I became involved in work of
|
|
some significance and received some minor criticism and skepticism
|
|
that I found to be beneficial as well as practical, but no death
|
|
threats or any of the other forms of persecution. I built
|
|
experimental devices, learned things unavailable from books, filed
|
|
for patents and in general felt very satisfied with my life, society
|
|
and the scientific system.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
However; things began to change, slowly and alarmingly. The more
|
|
success I had in my endeavors - the more I began to attract
|
|
dishonest and greedy people (I know this now but was unaware of it
|
|
then). My life became more uncomfortable as time went on but I was
|
|
not sure of the problem.
|
|
|
|
In 1987 we decided it was time to let the world know what we were
|
|
working on and the results we were getting. It was a proud time for
|
|
me. I thought we were doing the right thing. But this was the real
|
|
beginning of the worst.
|
|
|
|
Since that February 1987 I or my company have been persecuted by the
|
|
State Dept. of Health;
|
|
then the Idaho Dept. of Finance filed a civil complaint against
|
|
the company and myself;
|
|
my license for handling radioactive materials was then suspended
|
|
for 6 months;
|
|
I began to receive threats (i.e. "We will bulldoze your home
|
|
with your family in it.");
|
|
securities fraud charges were then filed against my company and
|
|
myself;
|
|
then investigation by the Oregon Dept. Finance;
|
|
then the tax man;
|
|
then the Securities and Exchange Commission;
|
|
my wife was assaulted;
|
|
I lost control of my company;
|
|
my home has been robbed three times and vandalized on four other
|
|
occasions;
|
|
twice now I have been accused of drug manufacturing;
|
|
I lost my home;
|
|
most recently my mother's car was pipe bombed.
|
|
|
|
With each hardship I strive harder toward successful development of
|
|
the technologies under my endeavor. But it only seems to get worse.
|
|
|
|
Someone once said, "Paranoia is only a heightened sense of
|
|
awareness." He was right! It is hard for the average guy to
|
|
comprehend these disasters happening to select people. I am here to
|
|
tell you it is not coincidence. I now understand why some inventors
|
|
drop out from society.
|
|
|
|
My advice to you is keep a low profile until you have completed your
|
|
endeavor; be selective in choosing your business partners; protect
|
|
yourself and your family; know that the nightmare stories are true.
|
|
|
|
R. E. McMaster elegantly summarizes the character of the suffering
|
|
scientist (The Reaper, Vol. 15, No. 36, 9-4-91) *:
|
|
|
|
"The history of science and technology, the history of significant
|
|
breakthroughs for mankind, which has launched him into new eras,
|
|
is the history of 'tinkerers', of private individuals who have
|
|
sacrificed their lives, time, money, reputations and families to
|
|
research and experiment in their garages and basements in search
|
|
of truths, the applications of which in their hearts they know
|
|
exist ... These are the men of passion, of character and
|
|
professionalism - great minds, holistic and synergistic minds,
|
|
blessed with hands-on mechanical skills, working to bring
|
|
scientific theory and concept into practical, working, useful,
|
|
productive technology.
|
|
|
|
Page 2
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These are the men whom a life, love, liberty, law, light-
|
|
oriented, long-term biased society would lift up. Unfortunately,
|
|
the character of the modern world is just the opposite of the six
|
|
'Ls'.
|
|
|
|
And so men suffer, are persecuted by the government and culture-
|
|
at-large. They scramble for funds, are abandoned by their
|
|
families, suffer the ridicule of their colleagues, are forced to
|
|
stuff their thoughts and keep their mouths shut. They are
|
|
lonely. And yet, they drive on in their relentless pursuit of
|
|
truth to make this scientifically and technologically a better
|
|
world.
|
|
|
|
There is something about the non-stop pain of long-term suffering
|
|
which humbly grounds a man in reality. Under such continuous
|
|
pressure, men break and either become bitter or better. They
|
|
have neither the time nor the interest in the air heads who are
|
|
wrapped up in materialism, conflict and leisure orientation of
|
|
today's world. Nor do they belong to the group of intellectual
|
|
acid-heads who read books, gather facts, and are ever learning
|
|
and talking, but do not have the hands-on skills or the hearts to
|
|
help their friends and fellow man when the need arises. Rather,
|
|
such men are the point men, leading the dangerous platoon of
|
|
life. They are self-assured and have few good, reliable
|
|
friends... These are the men who challenge the new frontiers and
|
|
the old order to make a better tomorrow. These are the loners
|
|
who have been persecuted by both industry and government, who
|
|
have endured grave injustices in search of scientific truth."
|
|
|
|
God speed, Good Luck in your endeavors, and Never lose The Faith.
|
|
|
|
Sincerely,
|
|
|
|
Paul Brown

...And Promises to Keep
|
|
|
|
Dr. J. Stuart Fordyce, Deputy Director
|
|
NASA Lewis Research Center, Cleveland, Ohio
|
|
|
|
Keynote Speech Delivered at The 27th Annual IECEC Conference
|
|
August 3, 1992
|
|
San Diego, CA
|
|
|
|
Good morning everyone. It is indeed a great privilege to be here to
|
|
address you today. As the keynote speaker, I feel that I should
|
|
provide some ideas and thoughts which you will keep in the back of
|
|
your minds as you listen and participate over the next few days.
|
|
|
|
Page 3
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I have chosen to title my address "...And Promises to Keep" which I
|
|
am sure you recognize as coming from Robert Frost's famous poem,
|
|
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening. I hope after I have finished
|
|
speaking, the thoughts that prompted me to select that title will be
|
|
understood. I liken my address to the poem because, like Frost, I
|
|
cannot help but feel that we, you and I and the country we so dearly
|
|
love, have not kept our promises... promises made in previous years,
|
|
by us in the technical community and by our national leaders.
|
|
|
|
What were the promises? Why did we not keep them? And what shall
|
|
we do about it? This is my theme. In 1977, then President Jimmy
|
|
Carter declared a "War for Energy Independence" and we, the keepers
|
|
of the energy grail said, "Yes, we can" Recall what we said we as a
|
|
Nation would do. I quote now from the National Energy Plan of 1977
|
|
and the follow-up of 1979. By 1985, we would reduce our annual
|
|
energy use growth rate to less than 2 percent per year.
|
|
|
|
We were going to reduce our dependence on imported oil to one eighth
|
|
of our total energy consumption. We were going to reduce gasoline
|
|
consumption by 10 percent. We were going to aggressively promote
|
|
the development of new technologies for renewable energy with an
|
|
expectation of achieving near 20 percent of our domestic energy from
|
|
renewables by the year 2000. Two and one half million homes in the
|
|
U.S. were going to use solar energy by the year 1985. We were going
|
|
to reduce our energy consumption by 1/2 % through conservation.
|
|
|
|
Have we achieved any of these goals? The results are mixed. Some
|
|
we did... but most we did not. Why not, you ask? Well there are
|
|
several reasons, but the main reason is simply we, the technical
|
|
community, didn't deliver. We didn't make the technological
|
|
breakthroughs we promised. We have been successful at holding our
|
|
annual energy demand growth to below the goal of 2 percent per year,
|
|
primarily through conservation, BUT today, imported oil accounts for
|
|
40 percent of our total energy consumption, and it's expected to
|
|
climb to 58 percent by the year 2010. [These figures give reality
|
|
to the importance of Operation Desert Storm.]
|
|
|
|
Our gasoline consumption has decreased by only 2 percent, despite
|
|
the introduction of more fuel efficient vehicles. In 1991, we
|
|
consumed an average of 16.7 million barrels of oil per day, up from
|
|
7.3 million barrels per day in 1976. In 1990, renewable energy
|
|
accounted for only 8 percent of the energy consumed in the U.S.
|
|
|
|
Today less than 1 percent (or less than 1 million homes) in the U.S.
|
|
use solar energy. We had promised utility sized photovoltaic power
|
|
systems and roof top residential systems. Where are they? We said
|
|
by the mid 1990's, we would be producing photovoltaically generated
|
|
electricity at a cost of around 5 cents per kilowatt-hour. The
|
|
actual cost, for terrestrial applications is still about an order of
|
|
magnitude higher today. We are 1000 percent from our promise.
|
|
|
|
For wind systems, we promised economically viable systems. Without
|
|
the benefit of legislative mandates and tax incentives, these
|
|
systems fall well short of viability. Again we failed our promise.
|
|
|
|
We said we could produce efficient, environmentally benign electric
|
|
vehicles. Where are they? We still don't have a good, affordable
|
|
electric vehicle battery and not much on the horizon even though a
|
|
number of you are working hard in that area. We have fortunately
|
|
|
|
Page 4
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
begun to reassemble teams for their development, but cycle life and
|
|
energy density still remain the challenge. Perhaps variations on
|
|
the nickel-hydrogen battery which is now flying reliably in space
|
|
systems can offer some reason for optimism. No matter that ideas
|
|
like this were being worked 15 years ago.
|
|
|
|
We talked of modular fuel cells for utility application, converting
|
|
natural and/or coal derived gas efficiently and cleanly for making
|
|
electricity. Did we deliver? Are they commercially available?
|
|
Almost? What of nuclear power? Fusion reactors may well be the
|
|
ultimate solution to all the world's needs. Are we closer or are we
|
|
farther away?
|
|
|
|
This summer engineering work began on the International
|
|
Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) Program, an international
|
|
effort to achieve the long sought "break-even and ignition points."
|
|
An exciting undertaking, but as Paul-Henri Rebut, the ITER Director
|
|
said, "If ITER fails, fusion will be delayed a half-century or more.
|
|
|
|
"And what about hydrogen? It was promised as the energy fuel of
|
|
the future... clean, abundant, non-polluting... to fuel our homes,
|
|
factories, cars and airplanes. We seem to have lost interest.
|
|
|
|
These are a few of the things we promised over a decade and a half
|
|
ago. Like vote hungry politicians, we promised easy solutions to
|
|
hard, hard problems, and, perhaps like some of those candidates, we
|
|
didn't deliver! Not our fault you say? "The marketplace didn't want
|
|
these solutions" or "The price of oil dropped and remains too
|
|
cheap," you say, or maybe it's because "our national political
|
|
leadership abandoned the quest." Then whose fault is it... Mr. and
|
|
Mrs. American Citizen's? No! It is not their doing, it is ours!
|
|
You, and yes me, the technical community dropped the ball. We gave
|
|
up! We lacked the will to lead and fight for the longer term
|
|
benefit when the tide turned, and we went off in other directions
|
|
like mercenary soldiers looking for the next war.
|
|
|
|
A lot of us who were in this army seeking efficiency and energy
|
|
independence (perhaps the community that holds the long term
|
|
viability of earth in its hands), found new tables to feed from...
|
|
we changed our hats, embraced new goals and saluted new flags. Do I
|
|
really blame you for this? Of course not! I am a realist too, as
|
|
well as a sometimes hopeless romantic and optimistic futurist. The
|
|
need to support graduate students, keep a healthy bottom line, keep
|
|
the tyranny of Wall Street at bay, and pay the bills made us, maybe
|
|
reluctantly, into a different kind of warrior.
|
|
|
|
How many kinds of warriors have you been or will you be in your
|
|
career? How many times have we turned our backs on our former
|
|
passions to seek new relationships with some new and glitzy newcomer
|
|
whose allure is measured by the size of its purse? But has this been
|
|
necessary? Are you and I obligated to forgo our beliefs and
|
|
commitments? Are we forever going to abrogate our promises? Are we
|
|
forever going to let our dreams die, our technical expertise wither,
|
|
our passions cool?
|
|
|
|
That, my colleagues, is the crux of the real question you need to
|
|
address. Let me rephrase it very simply. Do we believe and care
|
|
enough to do what is right... what is right for our nations... what
|
|
is right for our world? I think you and I have an obligation we
|
|
have not delivered on.
|
|
Page 5
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We have an obligation to our nations and to the world to provide
|
|
leadership. We have an obligation to make the hard choices and
|
|
propose and demand, yes demand solutions, even difficult and
|
|
unpopular ones.
|
|
|
|
In many ways we are at the junction in the path that Frost talks
|
|
about in another of his poems, The Road Not Taken. In that poem
|
|
Frost talks of two paths in a woods and says, "I took the one less
|
|
traveled by, and that has made all the difference." To draw the
|
|
analogy, think of the path we have been traveling. A journey begun
|
|
with a rousing sendoff at the start. A sendoff characterized by
|
|
national pronouncements, brass bands, press conferences, lofty goals
|
|
and national commitments, and yes, even resources!
|
|
|
|
But after we had trod down the path for a kilometer or two, the
|
|
voices of the critics and the naysayers begin to whisper from the
|
|
dark woods through which we travel. Soon the whispers grow to an
|
|
ebullient chorus, singing the critical song of discontent in an ever
|
|
rising crescendo. You have heard their voices and the ever ringing
|
|
echoes, the verses of their songs becoming more and more petulant,
|
|
more caustic, more negative. These songs soon are joined by the
|
|
brass instruments of those with other agendas... those who see
|
|
profit in stopping your journey so they can plunder your carriage.
|
|
|
|
Soon we once again are debating the wisdom of the journey we are on.
|
|
"Why," the chorus and band assembled shout, "are we doing this when
|
|
we have so many other urgent needs? Why are we doing this when it
|
|
is the responsibility of others? Why are we doing this when I
|
|
could be using your carriage for MY special journey to MY
|
|
destination... one, they assert loudly, that offers far greater
|
|
reward than yours?" And so we debate again, endlessly it seems.
|
|
|
|
What is so interesting is that when we ask the same questions we
|
|
asked previously, we now get strikingly different answers to the
|
|
same questions. Now we have plenty of oil... now we have plenty of
|
|
natural gas... now we have plenty of everything! No need to do
|
|
anything. Let's move on to other more pressing priorities! So it
|
|
goes, we start, we travel a little way, and then we quit. That is
|
|
the path we are on my colleagues, and this is a path that is well
|
|
trodden by others before us... their tracks visible in the clay of
|
|
history.
|
|
|
|
Unlike Frost, we are taking the path trodden by others... a path
|
|
well worn, littered with discarded commitments, broken promises and
|
|
decaying ideals. Frost takes the path less traveled. That, I
|
|
suggest to you, is what we should do as well. Maybe we need to take
|
|
the path that is rocky and steep and not well lighted, and stay on
|
|
our path no matter how loud the whispers from the woods become, no
|
|
matter how bitter the environment, and no matter that the journey
|
|
may be longer and harsher than we first thought and no matter that
|
|
hidden behind the rocks are those who would ravage us and plunder
|
|
our purses to fatten theirs.
|
|
|
|
Think of the journeys we have begun in the recent years. I have
|
|
already mentioned the "War for Energy Independence." Two decades
|
|
ago we went to the moon, not once but several times. Why did we go?
|
|
Well, John Kennedy said it so well: "We go not because it is easy,
|
|
we go because it is hard." The keys were leadership and commitment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Page 6
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We had them then... we set tough goals, we met the challenges, we
|
|
overcame the setbacks. We went to the moon and then [pause]... and
|
|
then we quit. That is something people hundreds of years from now
|
|
will never understand. We have now lost that capability. We now
|
|
are farther away from being able to go to the moon than we were 25
|
|
years ago!
|
|
|
|
Remember the Solar Power Satellite concept? With its huge solar
|
|
collectors orbiting the earth, beaming power down to an energy
|
|
hungry world... a bold concept, utilizing space for terrestrial
|
|
needs. Relegated to our bookshelves or file cabinets now. Why?
|
|
|
|
Was it too grand, too visionary, too hard? [A footnote: I have just
|
|
returned from Japan at the International Space University where 100
|
|
of the world's brightest young professionals from across the
|
|
technical, business and social disciplines in 29 countries are busy
|
|
with a comprehensive design project on all aspects of this
|
|
concept... There is hope! These ideas will be kept alive in many
|
|
countries.
|
|
|
|
Remember our attempt to build an American supersonic transport...
|
|
again we quit... it got too hard... the road was too long... the
|
|
path too dark to see clearly. All these years later, we are
|
|
starting over with a new supersonic program, the High Speed Research
|
|
Program. So many years lost! Where might we be now if we had seen
|
|
it through? And what about hypersonic flight, broadly supported or
|
|
faltering??
|
|
|
|
Look back to this summer. The superconducting supercollider, an
|
|
investment to penetrate the most fundamental properties of matter,
|
|
is near termination. Another big start... another abandonment or
|
|
pulled from the fire? How many of you know that NASA actually built
|
|
and flight tested nuclear space power systems in the late 1960's.
|
|
|
|
But we stopped, we quit, we gave up. Now, more than two decades
|
|
later, we have to start over. Will that be sustained? Do you
|
|
remember our commitment to eradicate poverty in America? That
|
|
journey has been halted and in fact the travelers on that path have
|
|
retreated... as the echoes were too loud and the challenges
|
|
allegedly too great.
|
|
|
|
What about our goals of civil rights and true equality? The wardens
|
|
of distrust and bigotry seem to have halted that journey. How about
|
|
the International Space Station Freedom? Boldly, we invest in the
|
|
future to take a permanent habitat into space using the first
|
|
electric utility in orbit. True to our recent history, we
|
|
repeatedly downsize and re-scope the effort, pairing the capability
|
|
down to the bone (at an even greater total cost by the way). And
|
|
now we talk of quitting and push it almost to the brink. Not, my
|
|
colleagues and fellow citizens, atypical in our world today!
|
|
|
|
We are now embarked on other national crusades. In the United
|
|
States, education, as it should be, is in vogue right now. We have
|
|
an Education President and Education Governors and Education Mayors
|
|
and others. We all know how vitally important an educated citizenry
|
|
is to our society. We are, we are told, going to be first in
|
|
science and mathematics, assure that better than 95% of our children
|
|
graduate from high school, and assure functional levels of
|
|
competence in the basic skills.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Remember the Williamsburg Education Summit with its big press
|
|
conferences and media events, the pronouncements, the speeches, the
|
|
trumpets blasting that Wagnerian-like overture entitled a "New
|
|
National Commitment." Will we see this commitment through either?
|
|
|
|
Schools in both rural and urban America are laying off teachers and
|
|
staff, cutting programs as budgets are cut and tax levies fail. We
|
|
even hear calls to challenge the public school system, once the
|
|
bedrock of the American culture, in favor of a network of private
|
|
schools. History will cast its harsh light on that question and its
|
|
answer will be part of our legacy to those who will inherit our
|
|
world.
|
|
|
|
American business has often been criticized for being short sighted,
|
|
for only looking at this quarter's "bottom line." We have seen
|
|
advanced technology, often paid for by tax dollars, abandoned to
|
|
foreign competition by our business leaders because the time frame
|
|
was viewed as too long. I am personally familiar with several
|
|
examples... one, developed to the state of potential commercial
|
|
application by the government, was pursued by an American company
|
|
but then dropped when the buyout barons arrived on the scene. The
|
|
Japanese are now pursuing its commercialization feasibility.
|
|
|
|
Coal-based Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) was
|
|
developed and first demonstrated in this country in the mid-1980's..
|
|
but the first commercial prototype will be installed in the
|
|
Netherlands next year. These are not uncommon stories and you each
|
|
can add your own vignettes I am sure. The wisdom of establishing an
|
|
American Industrial Policy (the politically correct term) is evoking
|
|
intense debate and whatever evolves may be a factor in the way
|
|
American business operates in the future.
|
|
|
|
It was once believed that government had that special obligation to
|
|
invest in our longer term needs... it was acknowledged that major
|
|
national commitments were often decades in duration. We once
|
|
accepted and practiced that belief... but now the pressures are
|
|
intense for government to focus more and more on current needs and
|
|
to sacrifice the strategic investments in our future.
|
|
|
|
Like Mr. and Mrs. American citizen, our national bank account is
|
|
being overdrawn so we can consume now rather than invest for
|
|
tomorrow... and the bill is being sent to our children. "Please pay
|
|
promptly," it will say, "or your privileges will be suspended." A
|
|
question that begs to be asked: To whom will they make out the
|
|
check? I don't know if you enjoy and read history like I do, but
|
|
any examination of past civilizations, in particular those that
|
|
flourished and prospered, shows they practiced boldness and
|
|
commitment. But history also shows that when doubts creep in and
|
|
the whisperers begin to have the ear of the leaders, when the
|
|
naysayers' and the exploiters' voices are so loud that their shrill
|
|
drowns out the reason and rhetoric of the committed, decline finds
|
|
its point of entry and begins to fester in the timbers of the
|
|
society... that the pervasive fog of negativism blocks the light
|
|
from reaching into the debate, and as soon as the last flicker is
|
|
extinguished, the cold night swallows them forever.
|
|
|
|
Perhaps I am getting too philosophical here for the keynote address
|
|
to a technical conference... but I hope you bear with me and don't
|
|
take my admonitions for other than what they are intended to be...
|
|
|
|
Page 8
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
an alert, if you will. A clang or maybe in the words of a popular
|
|
TV commercial, "a Cha-Ching," a loud noise designed to get your
|
|
attention... not to sell you hamburgers, but to sell you a notion. A
|
|
notion that we must take a far different path then the one we have
|
|
been following.
|
|
|
|
We must because, my colleagues, the path we are on is not getting us
|
|
to grandmother's house, it is the road to the wolf's lair! It may
|
|
be very appropriate to give time to these issues right now as we in
|
|
the U.S. are embarking on our quadrennial presidential campaign
|
|
season. The issues of leadership and national commitment ought to
|
|
be on the menu of discussion and debate. And if the candidates are
|
|
timid in discussing these issues, we should demand their views and
|
|
demand they share their solutions to our crisis of commitment.
|
|
|
|
We should ask why we are afraid to be bold, why we are afraid to
|
|
make hard choices, why we are afraid to lead, why do we succumb to
|
|
the forces of negativism and doubt? We have seen changes of profound
|
|
and yes, epoch defining proportions in the world in recent years.
|
|
Changes that the pen of history with its indelible ink, will record
|
|
and put into context.
|
|
|
|
But we react strangely to this new world. We are simultaneously
|
|
optimistic and pessimistic. We rejoice in our successes and then
|
|
demean our motives. We praise our technology but then damn it in
|
|
the next breath. We clamor for more but deny our responsibility to
|
|
pay and persevere through the difficult times. We stress the here
|
|
and now, and ignore the hereafter. We ask for faster, better,
|
|
cheaper but will not quench our appetite for big and expensive.
|
|
|
|
In my mind there is no question about our abilities to find
|
|
solutions... no questions of our technological acumen... and no
|
|
question about our needs. The only question is: Are we going to
|
|
take the path less traveled? For my colleagues that will "make all
|
|
the difference!"
|
|
|
|
In this brave new world we face, we must find new ways of doing our
|
|
business. We are going to be faced with increasingly scarce
|
|
resources in a time of increasingly severe problems, not only in the
|
|
energy arena, but in many aspects of our lives. To enable us to
|
|
continue viable and productive research and technology programs, in
|
|
order to avoid quitting yet again in mid-journey, we the technical
|
|
community must find new economies, new approaches and new ways of
|
|
"getting on with it."
|
|
|
|
In NASA the words are "Faster, Better, Cheaper, Without Compromising
|
|
Safety." I think those words may be applicable here as well. We
|
|
must collaborate more, share our ideas, share our facilities and
|
|
yes, even our people. To quote Edzard Reuter, Chairman of the Board
|
|
of Management at Daimler-Benz, talking about future technologies, he
|
|
says, "The technologies vital to our future can be researched and
|
|
developed only through global cooperation, which calls for
|
|
pioneering strategic business alliances unhindered by bloc
|
|
mentalities... and it will be not so much policy, as technologies
|
|
and markets that will cross borders and promote integration the
|
|
world over."
|
|
|
|
That broad based technology has been and will continue to be the
|
|
engine of economic growth and the catalyst for human progress is, I
|
|
|
|
Page 9
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
think, acknowledged by most of us. However, as the mathematicians
|
|
say, "That is a necessary but not sufficient condition." By itself,
|
|
technology will not assure success. That team of horses that pulls
|
|
Robert Frost's sleigh along the path less taken, must pull together
|
|
for the common good on the journey. Like a solitary horse,
|
|
technology cannot pull the sleigh alone. It must work in harmony
|
|
with others on the team... others with names like leadership,
|
|
government-private sector partnerships, national will, environmental
|
|
commitment, international cooperation, and social justice, to pull
|
|
us up the steeper hills.
|
|
|
|
As we follow the path, we will be guided by a combination of our
|
|
intellect, our training, our experience, our instincts, and the
|
|
driver's gentle tugs. Please let us work together as colleagues to
|
|
set the direction and keep our journeys, once undertaken, on the
|
|
path of progress, moving forward, regardless of the steepness of the
|
|
path or the whispers from the trees. The generations that will
|
|
follow us depend, critically on you and me. We must engage
|
|
ourselves and look beyond our perceived limits of influence. That
|
|
is the legacy we should leave... that is the duty we have.
|
|
|
|
I trust that the conference will provide you all the opportunity to
|
|
discuss and share, challenge and debate, define the problems and
|
|
suggest the solutions. Our obligations as technical leaders and
|
|
innovators are real and of more importance now than ever.
|
|
|
|
Thank you for the opportunity to speak this morning and for your
|
|
willingness to listen to me struggle with reality as a humanist, and
|
|
yes, still an optimist. In closing, ponder the challenge, symbolic
|
|
of [Slide]: America at the Threshold and the poet's closing line:
|
|
"But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep..."

URGENT APPEAL
|
|
|
|
APPEAL TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FOR HELP WITH GOVERNMENT
|
|
AND
|
|
BIG BUSINESS SUPPRESSION OF NEW EMERGING ENERGY TECHNOLOGY
|
|
|
|
Dear Fellow American,
|
|
|
|
Let first introduce myself. I am an independent inventor and
|
|
engineer working in the field of advanced energy systems. I have
|
|
been very successful in creating the advanced energy systems that
|
|
all of us will need if we are to survive and prosper in the coming
|
|
years. These energy systems use the forces of the electric,
|
|
magnetic, and gravitational nuclear, etc. Some of my work is
|
|
contained in US Patent No. 4,897,592: Electrostatic Energy Power
|
|
Generating Systems.
|
|
|
|
The United States Department of Energy and various large
|
|
corporations have and are attempting to suppress this new emerging
|
|
energy technology. They use vicious harassment, death threats,
|
|
blackmail, extortion and employ people to file frivolous lawsuits to
|
|
drain off resources to stop development and manufacture. I have
|
|
been in court for five years over every conceivable frivolous matter
|
|
one could think of.
|
|
|
|
Unless I receive help from the American people, I will not be able
|
|
|
|
Page 10
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to work in this important energy technology area, as the costs of
|
|
fighting a cabinet level federal bureaucracy and billion dollar
|
|
corporations is prohibitive. My legal costs over the last five
|
|
years has been over $35,000. I have lost over 30 foreign patents
|
|
because of the government action. The politicians wonder why we
|
|
have no economy, no jobs.
|
|
|
|
Please help one of America's most talented creative inventors by:
|
|
calling or writing President Bush and your congressman to stop this
|
|
outrageous attempt to maintain the "status quo" greedy monopolies
|
|
that rip you off day after day.
|
|
|
|
Please send me a short note of your contribution towards this effort
|
|
with your name and address and I will place you on a mailing list.
|
|
People on this list will first be offered the stock of the
|
|
corporation formed to manufacture this now emerging energy
|
|
technology plus will receive technical updates.
|
|
|
|
Again, I ask for your help in this important matter. I personally
|
|
thank all of you in advance for your help. I look forward to
|
|
hearing from you all.
|
|
|
|
Sincerely,
|

Selected Excerpts Made by Videotape Transcription
|
|
|
|
I have been observing many meetings on 'Solving the Great Problems
|
|
of the World' for many years now.
|
|
|
|
One of the things we are constantly looking for in our meetings, and
|
|
have been for many decades, is an elusive thing called 'Energy
|
|
policy.' This is like looking for the 'Holy Grail.' ... Since the
|
|
early 1970's, there has been much searching for this Holy Grail.
|
|
|
|
|

- * - * - * - * - * - * -
|
|
(regarding public, political, and governmental policy)
|
|
|
|
Now the problem with all of this, and it is not only our problem, it
|
|
is a problem that I see throughout the world, is that we do not hold
|
|
cohesively against certain national problems. Or, it takes a very
|
|
long time to get together a consensus to make a decision.
|
|
|
|
In energy, we have made decisions in the United States that have
|
|
led us in one direction. ... They hold decisions in 'Public Policy'
|
|
as separate from 'National Policy.'
|
|
|
|
Now, sometimes a government can act decisively. This is a great
|
|
quality, and sometimes it is a great error: sometimes it goes the
|
|
Wrong Way!
|
|
|
|
Now in science and technology, (I think that we say) that in a
|
|
rather Ecumenical way, that all science and all engineering and all
|
|
discovery is good, and it should be financed. And then we break
|
|
apart into our separate disciplines, and we believe that what we
|
|
(individually) are doing is good and it should be financed; and
|
|
that it might be the entrepreneur solution to all our problems.
|
|
|
|
The problem of the commitment with scientists and engineers, is that
|
|
it tends to be looked at in a one factor analysis and extrapolated
|
|
out into the future.
|
|
- * - * - * - * - * - * -
|
|
(in relating a story told by a senior member on the
|
|
Science and Technology Appropriations Committee)
|
|
|
|
"I don't know what to do about these scientist fellows. They come
|
|
in here and want a million dollars from my Appropriations Committee
|
|
to discover something. And, well you give the million dollars, and
|
|
they probably discover something, and then they're back the next
|
|
year - and they want three million to find out what it is that they
|
|
discovered."
|
|
|
|
This is another problem in science, and that is that we tend to
|
|
spend all of our efforts to replicate something that we have,
|
|
instead of taking that 'Quantum Leap Forward' to the next thing! It
|
|
is understandable in this situation that that is quite comparable to
|
|
building a wind machine to make the sail ship more efficient.
|
|
Instead of taking the power and driving the propeller. We do it all
|
|
the time!
|
|
|
|
When Howard Hughes built the 'Spruce Goose', he had a problem: he
|
|
didn't have enough power for it. He had eight reciprocating
|
|
engines. He needed a 'Giant Step Forward.' He understood this.
|
|
There was no point in adding more engines and propellers. He needed
|
|
the Jet Engine!
|
|
|
|
Sometimes I think that we are trying to replicate something that we
|
|
have had, instead of taking a 'Quantum Leap Forward.' And, it is
|
|
not always clear what that 'Forward Step' is.
|
|
|
|
- * - * - * - * - * - * -
|
|
(while relating a story regarding a slow train trip during
|
|
after his first seeing a demonstration of fiber optics:)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Page 12
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
... And I was just stunned. It was amazing, this technology.
|
|
|
|
And I began thinking about electricity, about energy in general, and
|
|
where is the 'Quantum Leap Forward?' Where is the jump from a
|
|
copper wire to a fiber or to cable? Where was the 'Leap Forward!'
|
|
Where was the 'Equivalent' of fiber optics (for electricity)?
|
|
|
|
Whatever we have done to improve the production of electricity, we
|
|
have done one tremendous thing: and that is nuclear. We are still
|
|
boiling water! And we are still using 19th century plumbing. We
|
|
are still using 21st century technology on top of 19th century
|
|
plumbing!
|
|
|
|
We have failed with energy to come up with the 'Great Big
|
|
Breakthrough!' 'The Major Change.' 'The Radically Different
|
|
Thing.'
|
|
|
|
The new technologies (discussed at this conference), such as
|
|
magnetohydrodynamics, (are coming forth)... and yet these things
|
|
have not fostered (results) - and we are still left boiling water!
|
|
|
|
It is theoretically possible that we could at some point take this
|
|
'Quantum Leap.' However, (from where I sit and what I see) the
|
|
evidence is not promising. There us nothing in sight that looks as
|
|
though it can substitute for the way we do it now.
|
|
|
|
- * - * - * - * - * - * -
|
|
(about the US love affair with and inside of gasoline
|
|
automobiles, and about how to advance any forthcoming technology)
|
|
|
|
We are not going to do it until we deploy some new cars, get running
|
|
experience, and incremental improvements. You cannot get from Kitty
|
|
Hawk to the Concord without building some airplanes along the way,
|
|
and yes, crashing them to boot. You could not have designed from
|
|
Kitty Hawk to the 747 on a computer!!!
|
|
|
|
We are restricted, in these days upon this world, in deploying new
|
|
technologies and think projects. Because we have developed a dismal
|
|
habit of trying to predict the future - and the risks of the future.
|
|
We are no good at it, and we know that. There is no projection of
|
|
the future that works!
|
|
|
|
However, we live in very strange times. And again I find there is
|
|
an international commonality, that is not particularly American, but
|
|
that is that our 'Public Policy' is driven by 'Hypothetical Horrors'
|
|
that we are known (to be fostering). ...
|
|
|
|
'Hypothetical Horrors' abound: they are on our front pages every
|
|
day! ... We are driven by these events, not by what is here now,
|
|
not by what is real, but by what might be! And it is having a
|
|
deleterious impact on the development of large projects and changes
|
|
in the way we have done things.
|
|
|
|
As so often, the United States becomes the first in this sort of
|
|
grid-lock fear of the future. And that is not confined to us. It
|
|
is a world-wide phenomena.
|
|
|
|
Things are changing very quickly. And it seems to me, that the
|
|
great success of Japan to which they should be promoted and
|
|
|
|
Page 13
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
welcomed, and admired, and the last above all these, is that the
|
|
Japanese have collectively taken on the 'Adventure of Science!'
|
|
|
|
That they have a sense of adventure about science, about commerce,
|
|
and about engineering - that the British had in the 18th and 19th
|
|
centuries, and that we had in the latter part of the one and in the
|
|
early part of this century; and we know that!
|
|
|
|
We have become rather slow in society, where everybody is looking
|
|
for some sort of mystical plateau, on which they can serve out their
|
|
time on Earth. Corporations are looking for this plateau,
|
|
individuals are looking for it, and therefore anything that suggests
|
|
change, competition, or different ways of doing things, is very
|
|
difficult to deal with.
|
|
|
|
One of the Great Problems that you have as engineers and scientists,
|
|
and there may be people in this very room who can make enormous
|
|
contributions to the energy equation, is the slowness, that we have
|
|
of adopting new technology: 'Technology Transfer.'
|
|
|
|
Most of the technologies that we now speak about on the Globe have
|
|
been around for a good while, and were not developed in the manner
|
|
in which they were invented. Whether it was the jet engine in
|
|
Britain or Ampex (magnetic) tape in the United States: We are
|
|
reluctant to transfer technology! Because of disturbing the
|
|
'Political Tide!'
|
|
|
|
We have not solved the technology transfer problem whatsoever. We
|
|
have set up various crucibles of experimentation, bases, privately
|
|
funded like the Electric Power Research Institute, publicly funded
|
|
like the national laboratories in this country, or Harwell in
|
|
Britain, and on and on and on, but the rate of transfer has is very
|
|
very poor and very slow.
|
|
|
|
More productive societies are still looking for their plateau. They
|
|
have not reached that point of self-satisfaction that is causing us
|
|
such difficulty as we move ahead.
|
|
|
|
In energy, we have adopted in this country one of the most
|
|
destructive public policy options that you could have: We have
|
|
declared that gasoline could be the next cheapest substance
|
|
available in large quantities than water. It's much cheaper than
|
|
Coca Cola, it is much cheaper than Gatorade water, it is much
|
|
cheaper than all the other silly things - and in that, we are
|
|
serving a staple to our consumers that is much larger than all of
|
|
our rhetoric. And we are prepared, apparently, to fight wars, in
|
|
order to maintain this.
|
|
|
|
Therefore, there is very little hope for some (new) form of energy
|
|
policy, while the people are prepared to pay for their largest
|
|
extravagance in energy, which is gasoline. It is not electricity;
|
|
it is not crude oil; it is gasoline - petrol. We are sending a
|
|
signal that this is the way to go!!!
|
|
|
|
If any of you have gone to purchase a new automobile these days, you
|
|
will find the salesman as often as not will forget to tell you in
|
|
the United States, the gas mileage. I doubt that in Italy he
|
|
doesn't forget to tell you the gas mileage!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Page 14
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
That has become our 'policy.' Therefore, we cannot look to 'energy
|
|
policy' for 'energy policy guidance.' The 'policy' being one of:
|
|
'Let It Stay As It Is!'
|
|
|
|
But we can look to 'environmental policy,' which is more active in
|
|
the United States than in any other nation.
|
|
|
|
- * - * - * - * - * - * -
|
|
(on the US electric utility industry)
|
|
|
|
And it is my belief that a gas turbine is to energy policy that a
|
|
hotel is to homelessness: a very expensive and temporary
|
|
alternative.
|
|
|
|
- * - * - * - * - * - * -
|
|
(back to the US energy policy)
|
|
|
|
And this mess is going to go on until a point in time. And then
|
|
something is going to happen that is going to change it -
|
|
permanently, and differently.
|
|
|
|
And, this involves a theory that I have. And that is that we like
|
|
to say that: "You can't just have simple solutions to complex
|
|
problems. You must have complex solutions to complex problems." So
|
|
you get: 'Very Complex Solutions' to 'Very Complex Problems.' Until
|
|
the point is reached where the weight of this thing causes its own
|
|
collapse - and a 'Big Bold Simple Solution' to the 'complex problem'
|
|
is required. And when that emergency is perceived, 'Big Bold Simple
|
|
Solutions' are introduced, and they Do Work! They can be swept thru
|
|
Parliaments, swept thru Congress, or implemented by Fear, as often
|
|
happens. And at some point, as we roll toward the next century, it
|
|
is my belief that we will again visit (vastly increased) oil prices,
|
|
oil shorts (shortages), and environmental impact problems. Do not
|
|
forget that the Green Movement may be driving the (energy) policy,
|
|
and the environmental impact is quite substantial in that it extends
|
|
from the extraction, to the transportation, to the combustion
|
|
(empires). At which time we will look at some of the things that
|
|
are (waiting) in the wings, and some of the things that may be in
|
|
the wings!
|
|
|
|
And if you would go out and invent a new electric generator today,
|
|
the 'Black Box,' the equivalent of the fiber optic cable, you would
|
|
find that the most severe opponent would not be from the
|
|
environmental movement, but it would be the extant of the industry
|
|
(to not be destroyed or lost), because that is how we operate!!!
|
|
|
|
And likewise, if we would come up with an electric vehicle that is
|

of the form, or equal to, or was in close relationship with the
|

internal combustion engine, your opponents would be worldwide: the
|
|
automobile manufactures would not be ready to adopt this new
|

technology.

And in order to do that, I believe that you will need new

institutions to deploy new technology. That they won't be deployed
|
|
by the extant of the old institutions.

The Challenge in Technology is to find it, and then sell it, and
|
|
finally to employ it. After R&D is another D, which is
|
|
'Deployment.' The technology that is developed and put onto the
|
|
self is sueable.
|
|
|
|
In the situation that we are in, in the nation, it takes a
|
|
Professional Society to be their own advocates in their own
|
|
technology. The corporations are not credible, and even governments
|
|
are not credible. An individual and individual societies are.
|
|
|
|
You are in a very exciting situation, because as being scientists
|
|
and being engineers, you have inherited the mantle of the poets: You
|
|
can dream the dreams that only once poets could dream. We too
|
|
become obsolete.
|
|
|
|
Thank you very much.

INSIGHTS INTO THE PROPRIETARY SYNDROME
|

PART I
|
|
|
|
To give you some background on myself, I have been interested in the
|
|
energy situation since I can remember. I have built all kinds of
|
|
devices, solar energy panels, windmills, photovoltaic arrays,
|
|
flywheel devices, and also carburetors of which I will talk on
|
|
Sunday. In my background I am an accomplished tool and diemaker,
|
|
moldmaker, been involved in Design Engineering for the past 12
|
|
years, primarily in the automation area.
|
|
|
|
My first real involvement with other people in this alternate energy
|
|
area was at the Toronto Symposium in 1981 where I met George
|
|
Hathaway as well as over 100 other people that believe in the
|
|
impossible according to orthodox science. Since that time I have
|
|
made myself aware of just about everything that is happening in this
|
|
field, and believe me there are some really fantastic things going
|
|
on. The rediscovery of some of the technology that was lost in the
|
|
past is finally coming to realization, for instance the Tesla
|
|
technology, the Hubbard device, the Moray approach to tapping into
|
|
the free energy supply that we're sitting in without even knowing
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
A friend of mine gave me a real insight possibly without even
|
|
knowing it. He said the problem could only be solved by just
|
|
considering the problem of weighing a glass of water at 500 feet
|
|
under water. Here you are under water with a glass of water: how
|
|
do you weigh it???
|
|
|
|
The analogy is the same for us. Here we sit in the vastness of the
|
|
cosmos on top of one of the biggest magnets known to us and we are
|
|
like the glass of water. We are in the vast ocean of energy. Look
|
|
around us and watch just the weather for instance, the next
|
|
thunderstorm, think of all the electrical potential being wasted.
|
|
That energy is there; it is very real.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
Tom Bearden, one of our upcoming speakers, may have illustrated it
|
|
quite well by the bird sitting on top of the wire with 13,000 volts
|
|
going through it. We all know that it could kill him but it
|
|
doesn't. I am positive that within this group will be the ways and
|
|
means for making the energy situation of the future change.
|
|
|
|
Now to the other side of this coin. Why has not this technology
|
|
been allowed to become established? We have to look at the 'profit
|
|
motive' involved. If we have free energy, how will they charge for
|
|
it? What will happen to the billions of dollars that the utilities
|
|
and oil companies and the government backing these establishments do
|
|
if we can give the people independence from the chains of having to
|
|
pay for energy?
|
|
|
|
One question that has been uppermost in my mind for the last year
|
|
has been the rhetoric given by our elected representatives about the
|
|
energy situation and the amount of money given to small researchers
|
|
who could possibly give us a viable approach to becoming energy
|
|
independent. Who gets the government money?? Let me get a little
|
|
audience participation in the question. How many of you have all
|
|
the money you need for research in the energy area? Everyone who
|
|
has please stand!!!!! Now let me mention a few of the names of the
|
|
companies that get the money. See if you recognize them: Exxon,
|
|
Gulf Oil, General Electric, Westinghouse, TRW, Exide Storage
|
|
Battery, all manufacturers or producers of fossil fuel products.
|
|
|
|
We need to get away from the fossil fuels for the future and get
|
|
into something that can indeed give us a future because we are
|
|
rapidly depleting not only our natural resources but our air and
|
|
water. All because of burning fossil fuels. We fund our
|
|
universities and colleges in the most directed of ways. If you want
|
|
to explore the possibilities in some of the more esoteric areas, for
|
|
instance the ones you will be hearing about in the next three days,
|
|
there is no money for that. WHY??? Because of the possibility that
|
|
we might succeed. What would our government do if all the American
|
|
people could go back and forth to work, heat their homes, run their
|
|
businesses without paying taxes on gas and oil?
|
|
|
|
Consider the fact that all of the gas stations would go out of
|
|
business or would have to find other ways of making money. Many
|
|
complimentary businesses would also fold. But alas, this is
|
|
America. What are we here for??? To perpetuate Big Business, Big
|
|
Government, or to advance toward the future, not expending all of
|
|
our natural resources but to save them to make the goods of the
|
|
future. Coal and oil both can be used for making all kinds of
|
|
things besides fuels; the list is endless.
|
|
|
|
It is my feeling that the technology may be already here and may
|
|
have been shown to the government. It even may have been introduced
|
|
to our patent office and turned down. Because as you know, there is
|
|
no such thing as a perpetual motion device. And I agree with the
|
|
premise because forever is a long time.
|
|
|
|
But there are surely some of the devices or parts thereof that have
|
|
been introduced to the government or to big business in the past
|
|
which have been shelved. Tesla's transmission device is a classic
|
|
illustration probably best known to this group. What happened is
|
|
that they removed the money from him to do his research and
|
|
|
|
|
|
Page 17
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
effectively stifled this remarkable man. How many other times has
|
|
it happened to someone not so well known?
|
|
|
|
At this moment, there are over 3,000 devices or applications in the
|
|
patent office that have been branded as security or put under wraps
|
|
by the secrecy order, Title 35, U.S. Code (1952) Sections 181-188.
|
|
|
|
What is security? How is it defined? I have had many inventors or
|
|
other scientists tell me that they did not want to discuss their
|
|
invention with me or others because they might lose it to us or we
|
|
might tell someone else before they got it onto the market. Believe
|
|
me, it won't get there by going through the patent process. It is
|
|
my feeling that if such a device were introduced at this level, then
|
|
it would be put under the Secrecy Act. I don't know that I am
|
|
correct in this assumption. But I cannot imagine a government like
|
|
ours wanting to commit financial suicide. So what better way than
|
|
to brand something as a secret?
|
|
|
|
I would like to read the Secrecy Order to you so that you may better
|
|
understand my concern. Please pay close attention. I think it is
|
|
very important. To you or anyone!!! Consider your receiving this:
|
|
|
|
SECRECY ORDER
|
|
(Title 35, United States Code (1952), sections 181-188)
|
|
|
|
NOTICE: To the applicant above named, his heirs, and any and all of
|
|
his assignees, attorneys and agents, hereinafter designated
|
|
principals:
|
|
|
|
You are hereby notified that your application as above identified
|
|
has been found to contain subject matter, the unauthorized
|
|
disclosure of which might be detrimental to the national security,
|
|
and you are ordered in nowise to publish or disclose the invention
|
|
or any material information with respect thereto, including hitherto
|
|
unpublished details of the subject matter of said application, in
|
|
any way to any person not cognizant of the invention prior to the
|
|
date of the order, including any employee of the principals, but to
|
|
keep the same secret except by written consent first obtained of the
|
|
Commissioner of Patents, under the penalties of 35 U.S.C. (1952)
|
|
182, 186.
|
|
|
|
Any other application already filed or hereafter filed which
|
|
contains any significant part of the subject matter of the above
|
|
identified application falls within the scope of this order. If
|
|
such other application does not stand under a security order, it and
|
|
the common subject matter should be brought to the attention of the
|
|
Security Group, Licensing and Review, Patent Office.
|
|
|
|
If, prior to the issuance of the secrecy order, any significant part
|
|
of the subject matter has been revealed to any person, the
|
|
principals shall promptly inform such person of the secrecy order
|
|
and the penalties for improper disclosure. However, if such part of
|
|
the subject matter was disclosed to any person in a foreign country
|
|
or foreign national in the U.S., the principals shall not inform
|
|
such person of the secrecy order, but instead shall promptly furnish
|
|
to the Commissioner of Patents the following information to the
|
|
extent not already furnished: date of disclosure; name and address
|
|
of the disclosee; identification of such part; and any
|
|
authorization by a U.S. government agency to export such part. If
|
|
|
|
Page 18
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the subject matter is included in any foreign patent application, or
|
|
patent, this should be identified. The principals shall comply with
|
|
any related instructions of the Commissioner.
|
|
|
|
This order should not be construed in any way to mean that the
|
|
Government has adopted or contemplates adoption of the alleged
|
|
invention disclosed in this application; nor is it any indication
|
|
of the value of such invention.
|
|
- * - * - * - * - * - * -
|
|
It is my feeling that something on the order of a so-called 'free
|
|
energy device' would receive this treatment. My only approach would
|
|
be to go to the public domain. That is, get the information or the
|
|
device out there to enough people that they could not stop you.
|
|
This group looks like the best group to give this information to.
|
|
Hopefully it will forthcoming in the next three days.
