                                     MRA2:

                          magnetic resonance ANTENNA?

         TAPPING A NEW(?) AMBIENT POWER SOURCE BY RESONANT EXCITATION

Further research by Robert D. Taylor and Tim McCracken into the Wootan/McClain
MAGNETIC RESONANCE AMPLIFIER (MRA) discloses that their invention/discovery
works even in a radically or drastically stripped-down and simplified version.

It has been discovered that an apparently hitherto unknown or unexploited
source of ambient power exists everywhere on earth (extrapolating from
experiments in Atlanta GA and Austin TX!) and from which essentially "FREE"
energy can be extracted at almost no cost, merely by using the Key Concept in
the Wootan/McClain discovery, namely external harmonic excitation of a
saturable core transformer, which causes it to act like an Antenna that
extracts ambient energy in amounts 10 times more than the energy required for
harmonic excitation.

Indeed, the original MRA continues to work even when the piezoelectric
capacitor has been removed and even when the primary circuit has been cut!

All that is required is a single wire from the AC Signal Generator to the
saturable-core transformer of the original MRA disclosure in order to cause
useful power to be generated in the secondary circuit in amounts vastly
greater than the power input from the AC Signal Generator.

This appears to be an electrical analogue of the chemical phenomenon of
Catalysis, namely the periodic pulses of energy into the transformer
'catalyze' the transformer's nature so that it operates in an apparently
hitherto never before seen mode, namely it behaves like a novel 'Antenna'
which is extracting AMBIENT ENERGY from "somewhere".

It is not necessary to understand completely at this time what the source of
Ambient Energy may be, in order to exploit the phenomenon in an
environmentally benign way for the benefit of mankind.

Numerous maverick scientists and engineers have suggested that there may be
hitherto unknown aspects of electromagnetic radiation not comprehended in the
standard Maxwell's Equations, such as the controversial "scalar waves"
postulated by retired Air Force Col. Tom Bearden.

Retired physicist Greg Hodowanec, who duplicated the MRA independently after
hearing about it from the New Energy News newsletter, which reproduced the
internet announcement of Wootan and McClain, suggests that the ambient energy
comes from the earth's gravitational field and is somehow being converted into
electrical energy.

Former BYU professor of Physics and Astronomy, Dr. Bob Bass, speculates that
the MRA2 (as was the original MRA1) may be somehow tapping the ambient
electromagnetic energy known to exist in the Earth Ionosphere Cavity in the
form of Schumann Resonances which are continually replenished each time a
lightning bolt from a cloud strikes the earth.

"As explained in the Second Edition of Jackson's classical book on
Electromagnetism, the great genius Nikola Tesla discovered the Schumann
Resonances experimentally 50 years before Schumann predicted them
theoretically," says Bass, who adds that he once calculated that "every cubic
meter of space near the surface of the earth contains on the order of one
kilowatt of standing waves, similar to those in a microwave oven except at
vastly reduced frequencies, which no one knows how to extract efficiently."

Or do they?  The late Utah inventor T.H. Moray, author of a book entitled "The
Sea of Energy in Which Earth Floats", astounded famous scientists in the
1920's and 1930's with never-explained demonstrations of his ability to
extract 3 kilowatts from 'nowhere' at will, anywhere (even randomly selected
points in the desert), using his unexplained Moray Valve.

Moray submitted a Patent Application, but withdrew it and his secret died with
him.  Admirers of Moray point out that his writings include the words
"Germanium triode" decades before the Transistor was discovered by Bell Labs
scientists (who won a Nobel Prize) and who had been directed into solid-state
physics by the late Harvey Fletcher, who had earlier witnessed Moray's work
and been shown every detail except the secret of the vest-pocket-sized Moray
Valve.

A recent controversial theory of Austin Institute for Advanced Study physicist
Hal Puthoff and his collaborators Haisch and Rueda appears to explain gravity
as not an intrinsic property of matter but as an indirect consequence of
Maxwellian electromagnetic radiation, namely that (as earlier suggested by the
late Russian dissenter Sakharov) gravity is a "shadow effect" similar to the
Casimir Effect of quantum electrodynamics.

Bass points out that if the Haisch-Puthoff-Rueda theory is correct then
Hodowanec's idea of tapping the earth's gravity field in some electromagnetic
way not hitherto suggested is conceivable.

Whatever the Ambient Energy Reservoir into which the MRA is tapping, the novel
phenomenon is real and deserving of exhaustive further investigation,
according to elated inventors Taylor and McCracken, who urge independent
investigators to seek to replicate their discovery.
