Why has Tom Bearden given up on Phase Conjugation?

For many years, Tom Bearden (the "father" of scalar electromagnetics) has been touting "the way" to free energy, anti-gravity, etc. This was through the use of phase conjugate principles.

Scalar effects are produced by phase conjugating a wave by 180 degrees to cancel out the energy, yet it produces a "stress wave" that can have physical effects.

Many of us who study or research this field have been fans and friends of Bearden and were puzzled by his recent change to the "degenerate conductor" theories as specified in "The Final Secret" documents.

How can "potential" alone drive circuits which we know require current? The basic premise of the "Final Secret" rely on the oozing of potential (voltage) from the inside of a conductor to the outside edge. (Is it not intriguing that DePalma and Tewari both tap this central shaft area of stillness for the production of electrons, just as described by Keely, Russell and others???)

We know that current only flows over the surface of a conductor, therefore, as the electrons reach the surface, they take a right angle turn and "translate" into current. Only at that point does the circuit truly draw power.

Bearden says that when you draw a current from a power source, that you are actually destroying that source. However, if you draw only potential, then you don't affect the source in such a self-defeating way.

A collector (capacitor or inductor) is used to collect and transfer potential from the source... before the collector "fills up" and the potential translates to current, both contacts are switched into a load, where it instantly discharges.

The collector is then re-connected to the source until it again recharges and the discharge process into the load repeats. The speed of this transaction determines the total energy supplied to the load. So, if you make it happen fast enough, you will be able to sustain that load.

To date, I am not aware of anyone publicly demonstrating or releasing information relating to such a working circuit. The closest person is Lee Trippett with his TOD circuit. It is a current amplifier with very peculiar properties, yet will not sustain a load.

A most interesting extension of the TOD circuit is Bert Pool's modification into his "FireFly" circuit that will source up to 6 LEDs (see FireFly on KeelyNet). Although it appears to be running above unity if you rely on digital meters, it really is not.

The unique point about the Firefly is that the LED's light after the battery has been switched out of the circuit. Presumably from the motion of the electron wave through the wire. If this is so, then perhaps Bearden is really onto something. However, the question is whether current is actually being drawn. From Bert and Norm's description of the experiment, specifically the use of amp meters to monitor the flow of current into the wire in the first place, there is current drawn. But it is a very interesting effect.

We are told there was a laser researcher who figured that energy could be extracted from a properly conjugated laser cavity. He succeeded yet before he could make the details of the process known, he was killed by short range shotgun blasts as he left his home. The circumstances indicated silence was the motive for the killing.

We took Tom Bearden, Ken MacNeill and Bill McMurtry to dinner Friday evening (13 May 94) with several others in our group. I mentioned to Tom how several folks had wondered why he had given up on phase conjugation and done this complete shift over to the degenerate conductor idea.

Tom says he has in no way given up on phase conjugate theory but that he has gone as far as he could with what materials and research tools he has. So, he decided to put some of his own observations out and those resulted in the Final Secret treatise.

The work continues on these two primary fronts (i.e. phase conjugation and degenerate conductors), but with the main focus being on the degenerate conductor approach. According to Tom, there was nothing behind the change, simply that he decided to share an additional approach based on some of his own observations and thoughts.

As of now, the next step in his own researches is the borrowing or buying of two Calibration Standard Capacitors. Tom needs this for further work with his recently patent applied for free energy circuit. If he can get them, he thinks it will prove his circuit.

So, if you know where he could borrow a couple of these that you can loan out or buy to help out, these things are about $2000 each, he would sure appreciate it.

Phase Conjugation is still a very viable approach and one that we here at KeelyNet believe to be right on track abobe everything else. This follows the work of Keely and the entire field of music and resonance. By creating interference patterns (constructive or destructive), you can affect energy or mass.

The ideal free energy device would use a tuned waveplate or a geometry that produces such a wavefront that it would "interfere" with incoming energies to produce side effects as specified in the NEUTRAL1 Aether Spectrum. Those side effects would be collected or otherwise discharged for practical use. Electricity, light or heat are all quite practical using this down conversion method.

That is one of the reasons for our interest in "Magic Squares", because they form the geometries that can act as kaleidoscopic multipliers or dividers of these incoming energies or simply Aether/gravity to keep it simple. Small replicative circuits that produce large quantities of the desired energy.

An interesting quote made by John Keely was that a tuning fork or tuned bar will excite another fork/bar of the same frequency.

So if you place one thousand identically tuned bars in a room, then strike a single bar, all the bars would vibrate and thus produce augmentation of force!

That is what we currently think Barium is doing in the Sweet VTA. That is, it is augmenting force simply from the excitation of a single barium atom!

Keely also indicates that in a differentiated mass (such as a "conditioned" magnet), all of the "knotholes" or nodes of interference are removed. Once this is done, the mass becomes essentially superconducting because of the instant communication of force throughout it's aggregate structure.

When that occurs, change of one single molecule will instantly change all other molecules of like composition because the aggregrate has been attuned to a harmonious or "differentiated" condition.

The point here is that phase conjugation is extremely important to our quest for free energy devices because it defines the practical application of frequency to produce effects.

Another interesting point, we were told that Barium Ferrite magnets are no longer available in the U.S. This because the government decided that Barium has toxic affects and is thus not "safe" for the public. Isn't it odd that Barium is also necessary for duplication of the Sweet VTA?

Cold fusion also requires an unusual substance in the form of heavy water and shortly after the Pons/Fleischmann release of the details, the largest heavy water manufacturer in the world went "out of business".

Correlation here?? At the ISNE conference banquet, a book was shown that was produced by the United States Coast Guard. It was titled "From 2012" or something like that, can't find the note on it. But the title definitely was 2012 and it was published in the last few years by the US Coast Guard. The perspective of the book was from the year 2012, describing extant conditions.

One whole chapter was devoted to energy generation and it was given that ZPE/vacuum devices would be in global use!! This means the government either has the technology or something big is soon to break. The whole impetus of GM and other auto manufacturers towards electric cars is trying to tell us something.

So, we need to get this stuff into practical devices and posted everywhere in the public domain before the technology can be monopolized or sealed up through patents by the big conglomerates!

Like Dennis Weaver said at the Banquet,
