 Yet another book to satisfy the author's ego.....Feb 22, 2010
No, it is not "practical", but the usual collection of information which can be found on the internet. Nice to have it in a book form, but nothing you won't read elsewhere.

 A compelling futuristAug 17, 2009
I may not understand much of this physicist's book but I am scientifically based enought to realize that the argument and presentation is compelling beyond amazing. Give this guy a break and let him make his statement to the uppermost echelons of science. We have everything to gain and nothing to lose. His vision is literally mind blowing.

 not a very good bookMay 18, 2007
This book has numerous typos, incomplete sentances and formatting problems. The bulk of the content is in the form of inconclusive scientific formulas with poor descriptions of their significance. They are not tangible to anyone without a PhD in quantum physics and mathematics, and many of them are quite simply incorrect. Zero Point energy is a truly fascinating topic and there are many excellent books about it, but this one just barely gets to stay in my library, simply as a collection of detailed formulas, some of which are very good and some of which are not.

 Practical applications, not sure about conclusionsMay 03, 2007
The most important aspect of this book, for me, is its discussion of the existence of zero-point energy. The first hurdle is for scientists to agree that there is an unknown force that affects their experiments. If this force can be tapped into, then we can have essentiall 'free energy.'
With a background in economics (not physics) I do agree with many other readers about the text being complicated, but it's a feasability study not an instruction manual. My recommendation is to follow the book with Valone's presentation on Google Video. That helped me understand some of the more complicated experiments that were conducted.
Things I liked about the book:
Practical, real world examples
Proof that zero-point energy exists and we've known it all along
Flurry of references to patents and inventors
Things I didn't like so much:
Extremely technical discussions
Conclusion to the extent that it's more feasible with nano and micro tecnhnology
What is interesting is the author (in the video) speaks of nano-machines that have already been created, but lack a nano-source of continuous energy - which I had never even considered (i.e. they have the machines, but no way to power them).
There's a video class that can be bought (search google) called "Physics for Non-Scientists" that I think is an excellent precurser to reading this book.

Only good for advanced PhysicistsApr 05, 2007
This book was prepared more for the Physics teachers at a university level than for average people who are expecting to get information they can work with.
The information is strictly dealt with at a research level, and not at a practical level as the title intimates. The examples cited deal with many particles at a molecular and nano level, not very useful for the backyard scientist.Example ;vacuum polarization is, however, a relativistic effect involving electron positron pairs as the hole-theoretic interpretation assumes; a electrostatic field causes a redistribution of charge in the Dirac sea and thus polarizes the vacuum. Okay, so i'm dumb! Paul
