The publicity launched by the Australian magazine Nexus in introducing the
"Free Energy Machine" developed by Robert G. Adams has triggered several
independent researchers in several countries into replicating and confirming
that we do have, at last, a demonstrable technology that operates in the
`over-unity' mode.

This author has developed from U. K. a working association with Robert Adams
in New Zealand and we will together be promoting both the science and the
technology underlying this landmark invention.

In view of the excitement surrounding the Adams Pulsed Electric Generator an
invited audience participated in a briefing meeting held on 14th September
1993 at the Reef Restaurant in Whatakane, New Zealand. The enthusiastic
confirmation resulted in media publicity, one newspaper showing a photograph
of Adams and the working machine that he had demonstrated. The article was
headed `Sub- Atomic Energy', and ended with the announcement: "Two working
generators will be on display at next week's Spring Show".

On the first day of the show, October 1st 1993, a further newspaper article
reported that a Brisbane man, Bill McMurthy, had built an Adams machine
based on details in the Nexus publication and confirmed the over-unity
operation. A photograph of McMurthy with his machine was prominent in the
article, where one reads:

`Mr. McMurthy said there were a lot of people in the world today claiming to
have invented motors of all descriptions. "I have followed the work of
various people in the past 10 years or so and I've attempted to produce
their work," he said, "Quite often it is in error or quite fraudulent - they
are writing fictional stories."'

After explaining his decision to build the Adams motor McMurthy then said:

"I have had remarkable results. All of Bob's claims have been proven to me
in that the motor does exactly what he says.

The article ended with the words:

"Mr. McMurthy's model along with three developed by Mr. Adams, will be on
display at the Whatakane Agricultural and Pastoral Show today and Saturday.
Included will be one demonstrating actual work." "The Motor will be powering
a motorized saw".

Robert Adams reports that the demonstration (October 1st and 2nd) was a
success and was witnessed by hundreds of people. Pieces of wood were sawn by
a machine having a power input of 22 watts!

Robert Adams will also be working with Bill McMurthy in developing
production versions of the motor, well recognizing that the existing machine
aims at proving a principle, namely that%he over-unity conversion of
electricity into mechanical power is possible, notwithstanding the energy
laws of orthodox science.

This author, now as a co-inventor with Robert Adams, has expedited the
filing of a patent application covering such a potential development, and
this was lodged at the U.K. Patent Office on September 30th 1993, one day
ahead of that Whatakane Show.

to It is our intention, in view of our desire to see this technology advance
for the world's benefit and in the spirit of `Power he People' (Nexus,
December `92- January `93 issue), to be more open about disclosing
developments than is usual in a commercial venture. In return, we hope to
engender cooperation and a positive, rather than a hostile and negative
reaction from the electrical industry that will be taking this new
technology forward. We expect, of course, to encounter reaction and
hostility from an academic establishment that has stood firmly opposed to
the concept of `free energy' and now find themselves on shaking foundations.

In this regard, this report will open the door on a scientific question that
emerges from the excitement of the Adams machine publicity. As may be
expected Adams was inundated by many people expressing interest and, in
communication to this writer, he said:

"I have read of other inventors with free energy devices experiencing
unexplained phenomena - some of these strange phenomena that take place
appear not to register correctly with established measurements. (Food for
thought!) There was a recent occasion when I received a report of one person
who replicated my machine and he reported, upon moving my machine from one
locality to another its efficiency varied but remained over unity.
Unfortunately I did not record who this fellow was - Nexus may possibly
know. This came to my knowledge approximately 6 months or so ago. At this
stage, primarily because I have been so busy out of the lab, I have not had
time to give this phenomenon the attention it deserves and so have not yet
been able to verify this activity. This would be an interesting aspect to
keep an eye out for in future development."

So, here is a challenge pointing a way forward. We have to know what
scientific reason there can be for this anomaly. Also, this writer hopes
that, wherever this report is published, it will come to the attention of
that person who contacted Robert Adams and revealed that news about locality
dependence. In that event that person is requested to contact this author.

Now, whereas technologists in industry would, like Bill McMurthy and others
who have replicated the Adams machine, rather build a motor and verify that
it works, than worry unduly about the underlying science, those of a more
academic mind have here a real question of cosmological signifance. They
have had their day ridiculing the claims concerning cold fusion and now we
wait for the case to be decided by those funding that technology. They can,
therefore, either see the above Adams motor claims as an opportunity to
probe the free energy potential of space itself and research the curious
anisotropy effect suggested or they can try to laugh the proposals out of
court and so create prejudice which makes it difficult to find funding or
secure patent cover.

Therefore, the comments below may interest those who see events as following
a course that sometimes defies normal chance of coincidence.

The source of the `free energy' in the Adams machine is the sub-atomic
vacuum spins that activate Planek's quantum of action, the `empty space'
scenario that tells energy how to package itself in electromagnetic units
labelled by different frequencies.

There can be no doubt whatsoever on this point and academics cannot deny
this assertion. They have no established explanation for the origin of the
Planck quantum of action and cannot explain why it is that atoms, and
especially atoms in a ferromagnetic material, have the same quantum
properties, whether in Australia, USA or England or, for that matter,
whether on Earth or on the Moon.

They can only question how it can be that we can expect to get something for
nothing in energy terms, when their `experience' tells them otherwise. This
author has pointed out repeatedly that the onset of the state of
ferromagnetism as a piece of iron cools does take energy from the space
background, proved simply by the fact that the heat released by normal
cooling is augmented for some mysterious reason at the transition - there
being no change of crystal structure at that transition.

In theorizing about this and about the energy responses and the subtle
structural properties of the vacuum itself, which in fact behaves much as
the fluid crystal activation by which numbers are displayed in a pocket
computer, this author was inevitably challenged by academics who said that
the vacuum had no inherent directional properties.

What they meant was that the physics they had been taught did not show
evidence of any preferred direction in space. To understand why this is
relevant, suppose the vacuum has a preferred spin direction. Then the
reaction of whatever it is about electrons in atoms, as they respond in
their spin-coupling with the Planek mediator in space, is possibly dependent
upon orientation of the body affected. In a ferromagnet there is very good
reason to believe that the axes of magnetization in different domains and at
different moments are directed in a spread of directions. Therefore, one
could understand why the local vacuum might have a preferred field direction
and yet not reveal this property in our experiments. On the other hand, if
such a preferred direction were to be sensed by scientists researching this
question, then that must reinforce the vacuum energy proposition and help us
to better understand why the Adams motor really works.

It was on 28th April 1993 that Dr. D. M. Eagles, with whom I had
collaborated over twenty years ago in developing aether theory, unexpectedly
contacted me to advise that Russian researchers had reported the
`Experimental Observation of Space Ma~netic Anisotropy' (Baurov, Klimenko
and Novikov, Physics Letters A, 162, pp.32-34; 1992).

A magnetically responsive test specimen located inside a superconducting
electromagnetic solenoid was subjected to forces which varied with time of
daily rotation and rotation about the sun.

This is not supposed to be possible, because it lies outside the logic
relied upon by so many academic scientists who subscribe to relativistic
teachings. Yet, here were the Russians in Moscow showing the world that,
after all, the space we see as a vacuum has an intrinsic directional
property connected with magnetism.

The author's writings had for many years propounded the case that the vacuum
energy interaction was sensitive to direction of a spin reaction in relation
to a preferred direction in space. What is involved is the strength of
induced magnetic fields in spinning rotors that are of metal and so are
electrically conductive. The direction of rotation and the orientation of
the spin axis of the machine in relation to a space axis and the Earth's
magnetic axis are parameters than can affect the interaction between space
energy and the machine.

This may explain why some homopolar machine experiments, the so-called
N-machines, are said to work over-unity and others have difficulty verifying
such claims. It may simply be a question of orientation, time of day or
location.

Having regard to this and the developing research interest in the
feasibility of the N-machine, this author did wonder whether the Adams
machine could possibly be sensitive to orientation and this was before
hearing from him on the 16th October 1993 that someone had actually
discovered that relocation of an Adams-type motor altered operational
efficiency.

Indeed, in wondering how to propose to Robert Adams how the properties of
his machine might be researched and lead to something patentable, the author
took the bold step of gambling on filing a U.K. patent application dated
July 19th 1993 addressing the solution to this orientation problem in a
stationary generator.

From a practical viewpoint and concerning a mobile motor application,
however, given a possible attitude-sensitivity of an Adams-type machine, the
use of multiple pole magnets with different orientations would suffice and,
indeed, the specific Adams machine demonstrated at that Whakatane Spring
Show in New Zealand may well be of the right rotor design to avoid such
problems.

These, therefore, are exciting issues to explore as the Adams motor
technology progresses and it is, indeed, quite a coincidence to find that
someone somewhere has discovered experimentally an efficiency dependence
that bears so closely upon the conjecture suggested by the author's aether
theory.

As more and mpre people now confirm the over-unity operability of the
Adams-type machine, it is hoped that they will explore this possibility that
the over-unity quality can be dependent upon where the machine is located
and how it is orientated relative to the compass bearings and cosmological
axes.

The author wishes to hear from any reader confirming the latter phenomenon,
thereby to share informanon as ~o underlying scientific fundamentals and, to
that end, the author will disclose to such persons on a non- confidential,
private basis the reasoning fully documented in the author's U.K. Patent
Application 9,314,939 of 10 July 1993, and prior to its eventual general
publication.
