2. How Does Zero Point Energy From the Quantum Vacuum Work?
Please note: This is part 2 of the presentation - please see part 1 first.
By this point, whether you understand physics or not, you should have a basic understanding that if you were to “zoom into” the infinitely small, you would eventually reach the Quantum Vacuum. Do you remember what it looks like from the first video?
This is the environment that surrounds all of us at this very moment (ok, it probably doesn’t look like purply grid-lines bubbling around…) - the Quantum Vacuum is the fabric of the entire Universe. Researchers have identified that it exists, but the issue is whether or not we can extract energy from it. It turns out that not only can we extract energy from it, but that all matter actually interacts with the vacuum. [1]
This section is broken into 2 parts.
PART A: How Does the Vacuum Work?
PART B: Are There Working Examples of Technologies That can Produce Infinite Energy?
The red circle is the Quantum Vacuum - it’s that “purple stuff” in the first picture on this page. Remember how in the video from section 1 that purple stuff was bubbling chaotically? This random, chaotic, “fluxing” motion of the Quantum Vacuum is actually quite significant, which will be explained shortly. This is a relatively new concept, and the classical view of the Universe would simply eliminate the red circle above. This is how the majority of us were taught in school (and are still taught), that the blue circle was as small as it gets.
To understand how infinite energy can be tapped from the Quantum Vacuum, it’s important to understand how a charge operates in ’space’.
By charge, I’ll use the example of an electron, which carries a negative charge.
First, let’s take a classic view of an atom. If you can remember back in your text book from science 10, you will remember seeing a diagram of an atom all alone in space -> something like this:
The red dots spiraling around it are electrons, and the yellow and blue dots in the middle are the protons and neutrons that make up the core of the atom. The classic view of this picture assumes that it is lying in empty space.
It turns out that it is not. It’s actually interacting with the Quantum Vacuum. [1]
Let’s isolate one of those charges - the red electron. The electron carries a negative charge, and classic understanding of the universe would say that it is isolated all on its own in the darkness of space. You’re thinking “ok, no big deal, I get that.”
Let’s see how it really operates as seen in this diagram (Charge in the Vacuum):
Picture that electron flying around an atom. Remember, the classic view of science would say that the electron is floating all on its own in empty space.
The blue circles are positive charges that are actually “popping” into existence all around the electron from the Quantum Vacuum. There’s an infinite amount of them, because as one quickly disappears, another appears in its place.
So what are those blue positive charges then? The blue circles are positive charges that are actually “popping” into existence all around the electron from the Quantum Vacuum. Remember that video from section 1 and how the Quantum Vacuum was bubbling and fluxing with the music? Picture the blue positive charges quickly coming in and out of existence all around that electron. In motion, they would be quickly appearing and disappearing. The negative charge of the electron is said to “polarize” the vacuum and attract “virtual” positive charges all around it from the Quantum Vacuum. [1]
An example would be when the sun hits your skin, you usually can feel the heat. This is something you can measure, but you can’t feel the ultraviolet radiation accompanied by that heat. Just because you can only feel the heat, doesn’t mean the radiation doesn’t exist. As is proven proven in Quantum Mechanics:
Even as you read, all the electrons in the air, in your body and on your computer screen are actually attracting an infinite amount opposite charges around it from the Quantum Vacuum. That means that no matter where you are, whether you are in the desert, in the arctic or next to the sun - there is always an infinite amount of energy around you. [1]
As the interaction between the electron and these ‘virtual charges’ happens, they absorb energy. Eventually, the interaction between the electron and the positive charge from the Quantum Vacuum absorbs so much energy that it has to release it. This ‘release’ comes in the form of electromagnetic energy. This is what’s called the “quantum threshold.” At the threshold a photon is born (light particle). This becomes real, physical, tangible electromagnetic energy that we can measure and actually use as energy. [1] So there is a process of constant photon creation, because the “fluxing” between an electron and the quantum vacuum keeps producing them.
Feel free to leave comments on this page with any questions, I will seek out the answers for you or direct you to further resources.
This is the basic understanding of how the interaction between particles and the Quantum Vacuum works. To fully understand, you must become familiar with Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, as well as Quantum Mechanics and Particle Physics. The point to note here is that it wasn’t until the last 30 years when we could actually measure the Quantum Vacuum, and it’s only been 10 years since this theory has been proven. It’s still being debated within the scientific community.
So it makes no difference whether we use solar, wind, geothermal or tidal - in the end all the electricity produced has infinite energy around it. The trick now is to go straight to the source, which is the Quantum Vacuum.
The last thing to note is that since all charges (be them electrons or protons) attract infinite opposite charges from the Quantum Vacuum - when we talk about generating energy, the majority of the energy currently comes from the vacuum. So it makes no difference whether we use solar, wind, geothermal or tidal - in the end all the electricity produced has infinite energy around it. The trick now is to go straight to the source. We can skip a step by not even bothering wasting our resources on alternative energy and constructing free energy devices. Tapping into the Quantum Vacuum would mean no physical impact on our environment (except to build the device) - we wouldn’t need proposed alternative energy measures because we understand that infinite energy exists all around us - these technologies operate under the classical view of science and how electricity is generated - and in light of new discoveries, our energy perception is evolving. [1]
Tapping into the Quantum Vacuum would mean no physical impact on our environment - as opposed to current alternative energy solutions.
The quick answer is yes and no. The long answer is no, otherwise we’d probably be using them right now. The reason why I say yes and no is because some scientists have figured out, on paper, exactly how a free energy device would work and look in theory. In addition, other scientists have conducted experiments that have generated energy from the vacuum, but in no way that can power something as large as a home. [1] This is the challenge of the New Energy Movement - a public display of a working device that can generate its own electricity (enough to power a home). Organizations, such as The Orion Project are currently raising funds to produce such models, and have recently opened a small laboratory. Since this energy is beyond the conventional, and it bypasses much of the investments we have in oil extraction and infrastructure - it is difficult to get financial support and public awareness up to the level required to undertake this process. The physics behind it is complex and also requires a different understanding of Universal order. Indeed it is a fundamental shift, but it is necessary to ensure our existence on earth for hundreds of thousands of years.
Overunity is when there is more output of energy compared to input. Most alternative energy devices (solar, wind, etc.) are 4 times overunity. This means they produce 4 times as much energy then used to create it. “Free Energy Devices” are considered to be 10 times overunity or more. [1]

Three broad categories as excerpts from The Orion Project’s Energy Briefing Document -> found here: www.theorionproject.org/energy.pdf
1. Transitional technologies
These are devices or processes that enable existing energy sources to be much more efficient, reduce pollution or clean up existing
environmental hazards. For example, add-on devices to retrofit cars and trucks with a technology that significantly increases fuel economy. [2]
2. Electromagnetic Energy Devices
These include generators, solid-state devices and magnetic plasma devices that perturb the zero point energy field (or quantum vacuum flux field) to tap electromagnetic energy and create usable power, without a net external fuel source or pollution. [2]
3. Advanced Propulsion Systems
They use electromagnetic fields to alter the mass and space around an object to allow for lift and drive. These “electrogravitic”
systems will enable travel to be pollution free, rapid and without the use of fossil fuels of any type or use of surface roads. [2]
This technology is truly revolutionary and extracts electromagnetic energy from the quantum vacuum field. The device is solid state, has no moving parts.
These devices use a rotating electromagnetic field to extract energy from the quantum vacuum field (Bearden, 1995-1996).
Tesla’s concept of oscillated power suggests that a standard alternating current (AC; which has alternating current and voltage) has, in addition, alternating power. This reduces the amount of power the utilities must “push” down the lines to do work, allowing the present utilities to increase available power to customers without the huge cost of new power plants. This technology would permit large electric power users to reduce consumption by up to 50%, and could be adapted for integration into consumer products to make them extremely efficient. [2]
Essentially, this technology (already developed to the level of a proof of principle system) allows for a reduction in mass, making way for lift. The principles involved allow for creating free energy generation systems as well as advanced aerospace applications. [2]
There are numerous technologies using electrolysis to dissociate water into a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen (often termed Brown’s gas) that when added to the fuel stream in internal combustion engines reduces pollutants and “increases mileage”. The main problem with most of these technologies is that the amount of energy necessary to dissociate the water is approximately equal to the amount of energy obtained during the combustion process, so there is no “energy gain”. However, several inventors have investigated the physics of water dissociation and are able to break down water to Brown’s gas using much less energy than physics predicts by using natural resonance frequencies of water dissociation. [2]
This technology allows for a simple retrofit on existing internal combustion engines that reduces emissions by approximately 40% and increases fuel mileage by up to 20%. This inexpensive technology is applicable to diesel engines and large coal-fired industrial and electrical utilities, dramatically reducing acid rain and other pollution from existing power plants. [2]
Plasma arc technology completely reduces any organic, liquid waste material to a usable, clean-burning gas fuel. These reactors are
already built and operating. This technology, if widely promoted and applied, would clean up and neutralize toxic waste sites, ‘Super-fund’ sites, treat radioactive waste material and other hazardous materials. This dual function – environmental cleanup and clean fuel generation-
makes this technology an important part of the portfolio of emerging new energy systems. [2]
Dr. Kowsky and Dr. Frost discovered that if they placed a quartz crystal inside a metal box and treated it with high-powered radio waves the crystal expanded and caused the whole apparatus weighing 55 pounds to rise in the air. [2]
This technology taps into the earth’s magnetic waves.
These technologies listed above are what are currently in theory attempting to be developed. Some of these technologies have small working models, but nothing significant enough to power a home. Imagine what would be possible if we spent $700 billion on their development rather then into the banks?
