I taught courses in electrical machines, wind engineering, electromagnetics, and electronics at Kansas State University for 28 years before taking early retirement in 1994. I wrote a textbook on Wind Energy Systems that was published by Prentice-Hall in 1985 [6], and taught a senior elective course on that topic at least 15 different semesters. After retirement, I worked two years as a consultant for a wind farm developer, and maintain some activity in wind power to the present time. Wind can be an important supplement to coal, nuclear, and hydro plants, but it was always obvious to me that wind would never be more than a supplement. It can provide up to perhaps five to ten percent of our total electrical needs without dedicated storage facilities. As long as storage or other backup plants are not needed, wind is a very cost effective and environmentally friendly energy source. But once some penetration level is exceeded, the costs become excessive. A totally new and different source is needed that is environmentally acceptable and also available on a 24/7 basis. I started looking for such a new energy source around 1980. I made contact with the community of like-minded researchers in 1986 when I attended my first International Tesla Symposium. It seemed good to do a careful literature search, so I attended meetings and read books and papers in my spare time. I self-published the literature search in 1997 [5]. It outlined why I believe a number of individuals had come very close to discovering this source. The total number of new energy researchers number on the order of one hundred at any one time. Many of this group have an M.S. or Ph.D in electrical engineering or physics. Others of the group are ‘self-taught’, and do experiments in their personal workshops on weekends. Some are just intensely interested, following the research by reading the literature and attending meetings without actually doing any research themselves. Some meetings of the International Tesla Society and the Institute of New Energy had attendances as high as two or three hundred people. Literature includes books and magazines. The late Dr. Eugene Mallove edited the magazine Infinite Energy for 56 issues before his murder on May 14, 2004. This magazine is a good source for new energy literature [3]. I will resist the temptation to do an extensive survey of the field, but will just mention a few names of people currently involved. Moray King [7] does a nice job of translating the efforts of other people into standard engineering language. Thomas Bearden has been in the field for many years, and claims to be close to the ‘big breakthrough’ [2]. Thomas Valone writes books, hosts conferences, and distributes a nice newsletter [4]. Patrick Bailey tries to maintain a website of and for the inventors of new energy systems [1]. I am convinced that a new energy source exists. This conviction is partly due to the Religion, Science, and Psi by Dr. Gary L. Johnson April 25, 2006 Chapter 1—Worldviews 2 many accounts of prototype generators that worked some times, at some places, for some people. The reports remind me of the early days of transistors. Theories of semiconductors were relatively primitive, but the worse problem was that we had just not learned how to produce semiconductors with just the right amount of impurities in just the right places. The presumption made by most of the researchers has been that commercial success of new energy generators will come after we learn the correct recipe for the materials and the proper operational practice for the necessary circuits and devices. My conviction is also based on what I believe to be the character of God. It is inevitable that a book on religion, science, and psi (the paranormal) will reflect the belief system of the author, so I will reveal my particular beliefs as they seem relevant. I believe that God is a God of abundance (John 10:10). That is, He created the earth with adequate food production capabilities and adequate energy resources for the entire time that mankind will inhabit the earth. I do not believe that God is seated on His throne, wringing His hands in concern about the overpopulation of the earth. Humankind has been here before. Once upon a time almost everybody burned wood for fuel. England was losing its forests to this need. I am sure the prophets of doom and gloom were making pronouncements about the need to limit population to a sustainable level based on growth rates of forests. But then we discovered coal that could be dug from the earth and also the technology to burn it. The population could increase well beyond that of a pre- industrial society, and perhaps even more significantly, the standard of living could increase as well. After coal, we discovered oil, then natural gas, then uranium. Renewables like wind, hydroelectric, photovoltaic, and solar thermal have also provided energy. Wind generators have been increasing rapidly in numbers the past decade or two. But wind generated electricity is fated to be only a supplemental source, as I said. Hydroelectric generation is a finite resource, with little growth expected in the United States. Coal is not uniformly distributed around the earth, and has significant environmental problems in the form of sulfur dioxide, nitrous oxides, carbon dioxide, and particulates. Nuclear power is very clean as long as there are no equipment malfunctions or terrorists, but we need to be realistic about the kind of world we live in. When (not if) nuclear plants or waste disposal sites fail, we hate to even think about the consequences. And we just do not have enough oil and natural gas in the world to meet the growing energy demands. The point is that coal, oil, natural gas, and uranium were basically hidden from humankind until the need became urgent. I am sure a few people knew about coal, pitch, bitumen, and the like through the ages, but most of us would have laughed at the idea of digging a black stone from the earth and burning it. The idea of extracting liquids and gases from the earth in large quantities, and burning for fuels, would have received the same reaction during the American Civil War. Uranium was even better hidden, requiring a sophisticated technological base for its utilization. The person who says “Yes, there have been four major energy sources that were hidden until needed, and then revealed for the use of humankind, but I know that there are no more to be revealed.
