The Alternative - Free Energy

Much has been discussed over the subject of "free energy"
because this definition is supposed to stand for energy that can
be directly extracted from atmosphere and in vast quantities,
without affecting the environment. The debates have concentrated
over whether free energy exists or not and how much it would
cost to be used for large scale production; also, controversy
has arisen over the terms abundant and efficient; how much do
you need to be abundant? How much do you need to become
efficient? The potential in research in this area needs to be
exploited to its full maximum, therefore new things need to be
uncovered before using free energy.



The term "free energy devices" has been coined to serve for
multiple purposes. People use this term to describe a device
used to collect and transmit energy from one source to another;
it is also used to describe something that collects energy
without requiring any fees or even to name machine with
perpetual motion. Though it is needless to say, recall that the
machine that produced perpetual motion by using only energy
produced by itself was and is fiction, an impossible concept to
put into practice. There is no possible machine on earth that is
capable of being turned on and then starting to produce its own
energy until infinity, without using any resources from the
exterior. Technology, however, has advanced over the course of
time and new ones have replaced the old technologies, thus
giving rise to more efficient devices and less energy consuming
approaches.



Nonetheless, no one can until now, come up with the technology
to exploit all the free energy in the space and this idea is
also something that hasn't been put into practice until now.
Therefore, we needed to exploit the potential of atoms to create
huge energy amounts. This fact become possible in the '40s when
nuclear power proved to all that we can create incredulous
amounts of energy. Flying was also fiction until the Wright
Brothers were able to fly for the first time at the beginning of
the twentieth century.



Those who support the ideas of "free energy" argue that mankind
can utilize large amounts of energy coming from the Field named
Zero Point. This represents the states where a defined system
enters the mechanical state and then reaches a point in which
the lowest energy points is located. Otherwise known as the
"ground state", the Zero Point Energy is also known as "residual
energy" because you are using an alternative to generate energy.
This idea was initially coined by Albert Einstein together with
Otto Stern.



This idea is also used to refer to vacuum energy, when studying
quantum mechanics for instance. It is utilized in expressing the
idea of empty space. The energy field generated inside the
vacuum is attributed to the base of waterfall, according to the
idea of one of those who proposed the idea, Hal Puthof. Puthof
gives an explanation for the zero point, which basically means
that provided that the universe is frozen completely, the energy
from zero point would still remain there. Even so, it is not
quite well known whether these implications are merely derived
from the fact that this belongs to quantum physics or whether
this is the consequence of another phenomenon. Therefore,
finding the reservoir for such a big amount of energy is
extremely difficult to do and there are also question on how
gravity or inertia affect this side of the discussion.



These questions remain to be answered and they generate a lot of
interest along the academia because they prove to be enticing
challenging to an ever changing world, where finding the right
resources of energies would insure the survival or the demise of
the environment. Therefore, mankind needs to make some progress
in the category of energy and be able to realistically advance
with research. New engineering solutions might be coined in the
future to help with the emission rates concerning atoms,
molecules, laser research and other potential, interesting
topics.
