New Energy Sources

Dedicated to my parents, teachers and colleagues.

From the possible to the real!

Foreword

In 2010, twenty years have passed since I started working in such a fascinating field of natural science as alternative energy. In the 1990s, Russia experienced not only qualitative changes in politics and economics, but also new opportunities for expanding the horizon of knowledge. Some of the newspapers had private advertisements in English, and one of them caught my attention. It was about some new inventions ... they wrote about "energy sources that do not require fuel." Fiction?! We began to correspond, gradually the circle of acquaintances increased, and I began to receive by mail the most interesting books, conference materials and articles about the work of scientists and inventors in different countries peace. At the same time, he studied English.

Since 1991, I have taken part in scientific conferences, where I met many Russian and foreign scientists - researchers. In 1994, I bought my first computer and started talking online. In 1996, we organized the international conference "New Ideas in Natural Science" in St. Petersburg. We have brought together over a hundred speakers from Russia and 30 researchers from other countries. In 2001, my partners and I created the Faraday Laboratory of New Technologies LLC company, began experimental work and published the international journal New Energy for several years. These processes undoubtedly influenced technological progress in general, as a wide exchange of ideas and practical knowledge gave its results.

The modern community of people interested in these topics is very heterogeneous in terms of professional training, but has representatives in all technologically advanced countries. We are united by the fact that the main directions of our research lead to the creation of new types of energy sources that do not require hydrocarbon or other fuels, do not depend on the sun and wind, as well as to the introduction of new modes of transport that do not use the jet principle. These changes characterize the quality new level development of civilization. The importance of these areas was obvious twenty years ago, but then the world was not ready for their development and implementation. Maybe that's why the crisis came...

However, the current situation for the introduction of these technologies is very favorable, thanks to this crisis, which arose at the beginning of the 21st century and continues to deepen. Cause of the crisis in the modern world economy - artificial monopoly on fuel technologies in transport and energy supply, from where artificial price anchoring for oil against the dollar. The only solution is to change the fuel concept to the refusal of fuel. Modern technologies already allow to receive energy without fuel, without sun and wind. This is not fantasy. As a result, all industries can reduce costs and increase profitability, especially transport and agricultural production. Only those countries that quickly develop the production of new energy sources, of any capacity, will be able to raise the level of their production and reduce prices. They will be able to compete... The crisis is developing precisely because the world economy has "grown" out of the fuel system, it is cramped within the old framework. New technical solutions have long been found, but they are not allowed to develop for a simple reason: raw material monopolists are trying to maintain their status, instead of developing new markets and new power engineering that works without fuel.

Only a change in the outdated fuel concept of energy can bring the economies of countries to a new level of development and stop wars for raw materials. This meets the needs of the economy in a qualitative expansion of the market for goods and services, and also leads us to a new understanding of the structure of space-time, and the development of fundamentally new ways of moving in space, including space.

Reasoning about " perpetual motion machines” on the Internet are often very contradictory, so one of the important tasks is the restoration of terminology, the purification of the primary author’s information from the conjectures of the “followers”. For example, the term "free energy" used here differs from the physical concept "free energy of a particle of matter". Here it has the meaning of the phrase translated from English "free of charge energy", which means "free energy". In the Russian version, the term "free energy" also gives an understanding of the results and prospects for the introduction of such new technologies: energy consumers are freed from the need to use fuel and pay for energy resources. Of course, there are such financial characteristics as the cost of manufacturing technical devices - energy sources and maintenance costs. It is impossible to create a technical device for free, moreover, the cost of some constructive solutions in the field of free energy is quite high. However, in cases such as when replacing gasoline, diesel and gas turbine power plants with modern generators that do not require fuel, the investment pays off quite quickly. The high demand for such technologies is also due to the possibility of reducing the cost of transportation, including sea and air transportation. Increasing profits in the production of any product, especially agricultural, as well as all work performed by powerful machinery with internal combustion engines that consume fuel. Another important applied aspect of such technologies is the autonomy of housing and other facilities.

The topic is very extensive... I will try to tell you about the most interesting projects in these twenty years. I hope this book will help you develop your own research.

I wish you experimental success!

Frolov Alexander Vladimirovich

Chapter 1 Our Goal and the Means to Achieve it

The development and well-being of the city, the success of the nation, the progress of the entire human race is determined by the available energy. We should not be content with simply improving steam engines or inventing new storage batteries. We have something better to work for, a greater task. We must develop ways to obtain energy from sources that are inexhaustible, improve methods that do not require the consumption and expenditure of any materials.

Nikola Tesla "Mission of Science", 1900

Every meaningful activity has a purpose. In this case, this goal is to free society from energy dependence, which should lead to the creation of better conditions for its development, including strengthening the economy and defense capability.

There are different forms of addiction, such as drugs or tobacco. A person who is dependent on some need does not have complete freedom of action, that is, cannot develop normally, and degrades. Similarly, businesses and economies of entire countries dependent on energy resources are limited in their development. Of course, this is sometimes used as political leverage for managing regions and countries ... this, so to speak, modern form geopolitical feudalism. The economy of the energy exporting countries is directly dependent on this process, which makes it one-sided and vulnerable.

Military technical specialists, having familiarized themselves with the materials presented in this book, will be able to use them in the design of qualitatively new models of military equipment and weapons. On the other hand, new energy technologies lead to greater political stability, reducing the reasons for wars over oil and gas resources.

The world is changing as a result of the introduction of new technologies. At the same time, due to the appearance of free time and comfortable conditions, a person receives Better conditions for development, although not all people reasonably use these conditions. The time when everyone will be able to take advantage of free energy technologies will be the beginning of a truly civilized era. The understanding will come that we live in an ocean of energy, it is a gift from God, then the monopoly of fuel traders will end.

Now, in 2012, we are calmly accepting some energy sources that do not require fuel, such as using sunlight. We understand them as converters of one type of energy into another. Similar technologies make it possible to obtain thermal energy by absorbing the energy of the environment (heat pumps), and such devices no longer surprise with their efficiency indicators.

For example, in a conventional air conditioner, 1 kilowatt of electricity spent on the operation of the compressor and circulation pump makes it possible to transfer 4–7 kilowatts of heat from the external environment to the house, or cool the room in the same economical way. Future technologies that convert energy from other sources into heat, or into electricity for the consumer, will seem strange and surprising at first, but we will get used to them.
