| | |  | Renewable Energy | Home » » Energy from the vacuum: Concepts & principles | | | | | | | Description: | | Tom Bearden's findings, culminating 30 years of re-examining the foundations of science, are good news that point the way to an inexhaustible, clean energy source for mankind - energy from the vacuum.
Developing and ubiquitously deploying free energy systems could eradicate the strategic vulnerabilities of centralized power systems, while reversing the runaway degradation of our precious biosphere and providing a viable antidote for the perpetual poverty of underdeveloped nations.
This book also contains the true stories of inventors who, over the past 150 years, have pioneered some of these processes-and their secrets. Dr. Bearden rigorously analyzes more than 40 embodiments that can produce this free energy, including some capable of investigation at the high-school level. | | | Product Details: | | | Author:

 the best of new energy scienceMar 11, 2009
By Jon Norris
Despite some pretty silly things being said about this book, it stands as the single best book if you want to understand the field of New Energy. Most of the major inventions and inventors are introduced here, as well as some of the more exotic fringes of physics.
Bearden is one of the best science conceptualizers I have ever read. He has the ability to put the most complex extreme physics into terms which can be easily understood. He is far better than Isaac Asimov in this regard, and ranks up there with John Campbell, in my humble opinion. For example, in 2002 Bearden published a solution to the Source Charge problem, a mystery which has plagued electromagnetics for over 100 years, and is one of the ugly little secrets which mainstream science likes to pretend doesn't exist (because it casts the foundation of certain paradigms into serious doubt).
This is a weighty, scholarly tome of 951 pages, 100 of which are citations and references from the hard literature and other sources. (Roughly the same size/bulk as the 2009 Writer's Market.) There is also a 128 page annotated glossary. It is worth it just for the citations and glossary alone. It is also a very good book to study if you want to understand how science really works (as opposed to the fairy tales we are told in school). It is fascinating, deep, challenging, and eye-opening.
Bearden covers a wide range of topics, from the discoveries of various inventors to some pretty heavy physics. While he does discuss detractors (including assassination attempts), that is a minuscule part of the book, contrary to some ill-informed criticism.
Whether you accept the possibility of alternative views of physics or not, there is a great deal of solid information in this book. It will make you think a bit, if nothing else. (Yes, I know. Most people run screaming from the idea that they should actually use their head for something besides a hat rack. But, then, there are those 9 of you out there........)
I recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand what the whole New Energy thing is all about. This is the best introduction and all around guide to the subject in existence (outside of the Black Project world, that is.....).

Makes you think...Jan 03, 2006
By Peter Wilson
I give this book 5 stars because it makes me think. I have been researching harmonic resonance for years and this book is like having a friend looking over my shoulder encouraging me to trust my instincts and be brave enough to trying new things without fear of being ridiculed. There should be more books like this that encourage all of us to question those things we currently take for granted. Most of the maths is beyond me, however the author has a nice way of explaining concepts so this isn't a problem. Well done... this book is a keeper.

 A Very Good Book on Zero Point EnergyOct 22, 2011
By William Bagley
The book ENERGY FROM THE VACUUM by Bearden is a very good book on "zero point energy". The book is 952 pages long, though pages 609 onwards are index, footnotes, and glossary. The book has the heaviness and thickness of a phone book. I am giving the book 5 stars for its content and 4 stars for its writing style. The presence of a glossary is merciful, because some terms are used before they are really well defined. While the book does not require a background in physics or engineering, I would gather that it helps. I am still wading through the book at a relatively slow pace, but already like the book and feel that it has something important to say. The idea of zero point energy is that within the vacuum of space there is a plenum of energy that we can draw from to drive the energy needs of our civilization indefinitely and without pollution. If this idea has any real chance of being valid, it is worth serious investigation, because it would solve our energy problem very cleanly and completely.
The author starts by pointing out a kind of myopia that has locked scientists into a direction where zero point energy is already pre-excluded from being taken seriously, goes into the history of how this happened, how the law of conversation of matter and energy has been understood to exclude it, and how this was further reinforced by the theories and mathematics of Laplace. Challenging this myopia is very important, because only then can zero point energy can be considered seriously. I found, in reading this section, that something did lift from my own thinking about it. I found zero point energy seemed easier and simpler to understand after this.
The author shares here and there a lot of his experience with many of the inventors of zero point energy devices and attests to having seen working models in action that prove that zero point energy generating is possible. He touches upon cold fusion, which he takes as another path to harnessing zero point energy, and mentions the large number of respected scientists who successfully duplicated the results of the original experiment. These testimonies feel congruent to what I learned from studying QUEST FOR ZERO POINT by Moray B. King (another very good book on zero point energy, but more technical, the glossary in Bearden's book would help a person understand this other book). The testimonies feel like a match, though Bearden seems to have witnessed even more than the other author. These more historical parts were enough for me to believe that zero point energy is both possible and had already been accomplished (though I reserve final judgment to hopefully making or witnessing a working zpe device).
Many of the chapters go into a various zpe devices and approaches to give a working understanding of how these devices could be constructed. Many of these chapters have diagrams and pictures of key aspects of those devices. But in my reading so far, I have not yet come to any blueprint or chapter that shows you step by step how to build your own, and my own reading of the table of contents suggests that there is no such section. I got this book because I felt I needed to understand the theory part more clearly before attempting to build a zpe device, and concluded from looking a youtube videos and google searching the internet that Bearden was very qualified to explain this. What I have read so far has felt confirming of what I had hoped to find. I already find that what I have learned is helping me to understand some of the more promising devices that are shown on youtube (usually under "Bedini" and "Pulse Motor"), why they could work, and how to appreciate the measurements on the multi-meters shown on some of the videos (which usually show v-input < v-output) which at least show some promising preliminary results.
A few reservations about the book: 1) The writing style is okay, but not ideal. Bearden is more of a scientist and engineer, rather than a skilled presenter/writer (not a bad writer, but some greater skill might make this subject more manageable). There is something heavy and cumbersome in wading through parts of the book. It might be inevitable with this subject, but it definitely means the book is not a light or easy read. The other book mentioned was not much better in this regard. 2) I am unsure about how good this book is as an introduction to this subject. It would not qualify as ZPE FOR DUMMIES or ZPE FOR THE COMPLEAT IDIOT. It would be good for another book to fill this void (maybe someone who reads this review might know one and mention it in a comment). 3) Given how thick the book is already, it would have been good to include a possible working blueprint of one complete device. I think the author may have done this in another work. But the addition of a blueprint and some streamlining of the presentation could have made this the definite text on the subject. It might have been a good educational approach to completely walk through conceptually building one complete device step by step, and explain why each step was necessary (though I do get a sense that he does this indirectly, in a kind of composite, by going into various devices in a less complete way).
All in all, I am enjoying this book and feeling it is worth the time invested in plodding through it...

Mainstream physicists will not agree, but I found this volume and the others in the series fascinating and worthy of further exploration.

fascinating but fragmentedMar 10, 2007
By Carolyn S. Almennigen
I am considering his ideas, although I haven't waded through it all yet. If he spent as much time on theory and applications as he does on ridiculing his critics, it would be much better.
