Can I get your thoughts on this?

This is eerie, but absolutely true. Please check it out yourself.

Four years ago, Dr. Victor Klimov et al. at Los Alamos National Laboratory produced a permanent solution -- including working models -- of the world energy crisis. This work is printed now in leading physics journals of the world, and in leading nanocrystalline science journals of the world. It was validated by two great U.S. National Labs: (1) LANL and (2) NREL. So it is a scientific fact, proven forever.

The below information is attached for you to check it out technically if you wish to. But at least you should be aware of it.



Sincerely,

P.S. Several nations of the world are now frenziedly using this great nanocrystalline power breakthrough to develop superpowerful but very small self-powering ultra-laser weapons that will revolutionize warfare permanently.

T.E.B.
Free and Practical EM Energy from the Vacuum and Its Use to Power Loads

The solution to the World Energy Crisis has been rigorously demonstrated and proven by Klimov et. al. at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and further validated by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) about four years or so ago.

It has been openly published in leading physics journals of the world, and in leading nanocrystalline science journals.

Please check this rigorous work four years or more ago by Dr. Victor Klimov et al.

Dr. Klimov and his colleagues in LANL have constructed tiny nanocrystalline solar cells which can absorb the light of a specific wave length in such a way, that one photon input to a solar cell can and will energize more than one output electron. As soon as the output electron absorbs a photon, it disappears for a very short moment into the quantum field. Being in the virtual state the electron can borrow energy from the vacuum and thereafter appears again in our reality. Now the highly excited electron (with all its excess energy taken freely from the active virtual state vacuum) can energize up to 7 output electrons. This leads to a theoretical coefficient of performance (COP) of up to 700%. A COP = 200% can be easily achieved and it has been, as have been higher values. The experiment has also been replicated successfully and validated by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden Colorado. [See Herb Brody, "Solar Power - Seriously Souped Up." New Scientist, May 27, 2006, p 45].

There's some citations and things after that but that's the meat of it...

Discuss!

    Tom Bearden is an overunity device crank.

    Yeah, some quick googling (if the quote in the OP wasn't enough) gives of a strong smell of bullshit.

    EDIT: Should perhaps post why as well.

    There seems to be no source of this that is not connected to Tom Bearden or citing him.

    This is what wikipedia says about the man:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motionless_electromagnetic_generator#Thomas_Bearden
    Bearden has little formal training in physics and one analysis of these theories describes them as "full of misconceptions and misunderstandings concerning the theory of the electromagnetic field".[10] At his website and in correspondence, Bearden identifies himself as "PhD"[11] and claims he received a doctorate for "life experience and for life accomplishment".[12] The Skeptical Inquirer, among others, revealed that he purchased his Ph.D. from Trinity College and University, which the magazine describes as "a British institution with no building, campus, faculty, or president, and run from a post office box in Sioux Falls, South Dakota".[13]

    Good. Two of my friends posted this on facebook and I figured, if it's too good to be true, it probably is. Or, there must be a reason this is the first I'm hearing about this in 4 years.

    Didn't Rodney McKay try something like this and blow up most of a solar system?

    Just doing some Googling around, it looks like Victor Klimov is doing work that is relevant to the OP, but Bearden is misinterpreting them. It looks like using multiexcitation (multiple electrons excited by a single photon) could improve photovoltaic efficiency, but I don't see anything about "borrowing energy from the vacuum" or 700% yields like Bearden is talking about.

    I'm also a little out of my league here. Electricitylikesme would probably be able to give some more substantive feedback.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    the "no true scotch man" fallacy.

    This is straight SCIENCE!, and should be treated as such. Move along, nothing to see here.
