A Radical New Thermal Engine
|
|
|
|
A Swedish scientist has revived a centuries-old controversy with
|
|
contentions that he has discovered the theoretical basis for a
|
|
perpetual-motion machine.
|
|
|
|
Most foreign scientists dismiss the notion of such a device as
|
|
contravening fundamental laws of thermodynamics, but the Swedish
|
|
claim has created much excitement among scientific circles in
|
|
Stockholm.
|
|
|
|
The man making the claim is Professor Baltzar von Platen, 77,
|
|
regarded in Sweden as the inventor of the modern refrigerator and
|
|
the first person to produce synthetic diamonds.
|
|
|
|
His theories involve the production of energy through a complex
|
|
process involving air, ammonia, and salt in an apparatus rotating at
|
|
very high speed, but scientific sources said the system was
|
|
difficult to explain in layman's language.
|
|
|
|
Professor von Platen has said in newspaper interviews that unless
|
|
his ideas are invalidated by some natural law, the energy could be
|
|
harnessed to run cars, warm houses, or power aircraft.
|
|
|
|
He is expected to file a patent application soon and the secretary
|
|
of the Royal Academy of Science, Professor Sam Nilsson, said he had
|
|
gone through the 50-page documents and could find no basic flaw.
|
|
|
|
He said the theory put Professor von Platen in a class with Thomas
|
|
Edison, who perfected the electric light bulb, and Marconi, who
|
|
developed the modern radio.
|
|
|
|
But other scientists were more skeptical. One physicist said the
|
|
theory ran counter to all known laws.
|
|
|
|
"There is only a limited amount of energy around, if you use energy
|
|
up and don't replace it, you run out", he said.
|
|
|
|
The physicist was asked if it was possible that Professor von Platen
|
|
had hit upon an entirely new law of thermodynamics that could
|
|
explain his ideas.

|
|
"Every day there are millions of processes going on and they all
|
|
obey the laws as we know them", he said.
|
|
|
|
At the heart of Professor von Platen's idea is a spontaneous heating
|
|
process which is continuous.
|
|
|
|
It begins with the air-water-ammonia process in the centrifuge. As
|
|
it spins faster and faster, the pressure at the extremities
|
|
increases up to 1,000 times that of the atmosphere (14.7 x 1000 =
|
|
14,700 PSI), generating heat which could be used to drive a turbine.
|
|
|
|
Professor Sven Brohult, director of the National Academy of
|
|
Engineering Sciences, said that even if the theory was only partly
|
|
correct, the practical applications could be enormous.

Vangard Note
|
|
|
|
We understand that heat pumps are routinely claimed to have
|
|
excess energy outputs in the range of 2 to 5 times what it takes
|
|
to operate the heat pump. An engineer we met here in Dallas
|
|
named Mike Eskely also claimed to have a turbine which generated
|
|
overunity by high velocity rotation of gases. Although we never
|
|
saw a working model, he is convinced he is onto something and
|
|
has over 50 patents to his name.
|
|
|
|
Mr. Eskely told us that in Texas, there were laws that protected
|
|
the power companies from having to purchase energy that was not
|
|
produced using "acceptable" co-generation sources.
|
|
|
|
One of the methods that is forbidden is HEAT PUMPS. If you try
|
|
to sell your excess power (generated through a Heat Pump co-
|
|
generator) back to the power company, they are NOT REQUIRED to
|
|
buy it. As we understand it, they ARE REQUIRED to purchase
|
|
excess power generated from Solar, Wind, Fossil Fuel, Geothermal
|
|
or Hydro co-generated systems.
|
|
|
|
We would greatly appreciate further information relating to this
|
|
subject, especially details of Professor von Platen's work.
