Great speech. We need more people traveling to conferences giving similar speeches? The more people the better. Don't put everything on his shoulders!

Contact Steven Greer and ask him for advice. I know of a lot of inexpensive ways to get a lot of people, unique people, to attend such conferences.

10/10/09 - Physicists Measure Elusive 'Persistent Current' That Flows Forever
Physicists at Yale University have made the first definitive measurements of "persistent current," a small but perpetual electric current that flows naturally through tiny rings of metal wire even without an external power source. The team used nanoscale cantilevers, an entirely novel approach, to indirectly measure the current through changes in the magnetic force it produces as it flows through the ring. “They’re essentially little floppy diving boards with the rings sitting on top,” said team leader Jack Harris, associate professor of physics and applied physics at Yale. The findings appear in the October 9 issue of Science. The counterintuitive current is the result of a quantum mechanical effect that influences how electrons travel through metals, and arises from the same kind of motion that allows the electrons inside an atom to orbit the nucleus forever. “These are ordinary, non-superconducting metal rings, which we typically think of as resistors,” Harris said. “Yet these currents will flow forever, even in the absence of an applied voltage.” - Source

10/10/09 - Researchers Develop a Penny-Sized Nuclear Battery
Researchers have begun developing a tiny nuclear battery the size of a penny that could provide power in a smaller, lighter, and more efficient package. Most people probably think of nuclear power that involves fission and the splitting of atoms. But nuclear power can also come from the natural radioactive decay of isotopes such as plutonium-238 -- a much gentler process that has powered nuclear generators aboard spacecraft such as NASA's Cassini probe. "The radioisotope battery can provide power density that is six orders of magnitude higher than chemical batteries," said Jae Kwon, an electrical and computer engineer at the University of Missouri. Kwon and colleagues want to miniaturize such batteries to power micro-devices and nanotech systems. The batteries won't pose any fission-related threats, but engineers do face a challenge in preventing the radioactive decay from damaging sensitive parts of the batteries. "The critical part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure of the solid semiconductor," Kwon noted. The researchers hope to get around that problem by using a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor. Eventually they also want to boost battery power, shrink its size, and eventually end up with a battery thinner than a human hair. - Source

The persistent current could be a major breakthrough in conventional physics. So how much current is it? For years I keep meauring this DC current constant in everything from diodes to piezos that's ~ 10 pA. The current is always higher initially, but settles down to ~ 10 pA. Piezos initial current can be in the micro amps, but settles to this mysterious current of roughly 10 pA.

@Paul,
  Your work is being validated.  Do you have any thoughts on how to concentrate such natural currents to get useable amount of work?

Hi,

IMO there's a good chance this source of energy is what a lot of scientists discovered, such as Tesla, caused by an electric field. It seems just pure DC is not the way to go, since for some reason the current so far always decays to ~ 10 pA regardless how large the device is or what material it's made of. Although, after the device rests for a period of time, the initial current is higher than. A thin piezo element is a few micro amps. Maybe the secret is to switch the load on, off, on, off, etc.

The reason the current is so low in piezo is because of it's high resistance. Piezos & diodes have an intense internal electric field. Diodes with higher resistance, Ro, have a higher internal electric field. Experiments show that diodes with higher resistance produce more voltage.

If we used a man-made electric field (e.g., Tesla's devices), then we could use materials with low resistance, such as Graphite, and maybe this would produce a lot of current. The electric field itself is not in the circuit, as it's used only to produce an electric field. What might be happening is that there is a flow of unknown substance that slowly builds up between the electric field, and this flow can drag the electrons with it.
