I think the distinction between overunity and free energy often gets blurred in the professional and private sectors.  with my limited knowledge on any of these subjects, i have come to an understanding that an object in order to be classified as overunity, energy must have been used to in turn to create more energy from an object.  Much like the Newman motor that uses 9V batteries to run a massive water pump.
on the other hand, solar cells and earth batteries are probably better termed as receivers and/or  converters.   These are tools that are used to tap the energy that is around us already. Isn't this what is called free/zero-point energy? 
As the future of energy production evolves, i think that the most ideal path would be learning how to tap into the energy that is constantly around us. 

G'day all,

I have written to Scotty Lang of Leedskalnin.com to get his take on the Stubblefield coil. He is the most knowledgeable guy on magnetism I know and I would like to incorporate his thoughts into the next chapter.

So please be patient, I will publish the next installment as soon as I am ready.

@ Hans:

I agree 100%. I also think the term used by BRAHMA is very appropriate..."Converters".  Why try to create something from nothing when there is so much out there just begging to be converted.

@Localjoe:

I agree also about going after the more simple, elegant methods of energy conversion or reception.  Speaking of coils, correct me if I am wrong, but isn't an ignition coil just a large cap?  It works with dc and takes 12vdc to 50,000vdc or more.  Would it take my 1.6 vdc to 5,000 volts? Or 8,000 volts?  What if the coil were buried in the ground also?  So many questions, so little time.

@ akashh:

Good info there. The more information we have, the better. Thanks.

Thanks to all who answered my question on O.U.  I feel like I am tapping into a source of power for free energy by reception and or conversion so, I agree it makes the O.U. question moot.  Back to work now.

Sorry Bill,

An ignition coil is not a large capacitor, it does not work with DC, it needs a pulse to fire.

Hans:

My car runs on 12 volts dc right?  The coil there ups that from 12 volts to 50,000 volts doesn't it?  By pulse, do you mean (like in the old days before computer controlled ignition) when the distributor lined up with the spark plug wire terminal for a certain cylinder, the coil discharged and then was recharged such that the voltages were released in pulses when sparking from the electrode to the engine block ground?  I have seen several "Jaccobs Ladders" constructed from car ignition coils which were only hooked directly to dc power via battery or power supply. They appeared to supply a continues high voltage until the spark climbed up the gap at the top and started again at the bottom.

Pardon my ignorance here, I am still re-reading my electronics textbooks that I thankfully still have on hand. The old ignition systems utilized a condenser also but I thought that was used for the times when the coil was not firing.  If you would not mind explaining this, I would appreciate it. I am also attempting to find information on how to make coils which is not so easy to come by thus far.  Thanks Hans.
