POPSParents blame kids’ failing test scores on Wikipedia Another case of misuse of a wonderful resource and giving the resource a bad name!

POPSInformation Unlimited - Free Energy,Solar Energy
In the 1920s T. Henry Moray invented a free energy device that reportedly output 50 kilowatts of electricity. It could not be explained by standard science at that time. The electricity exhibited a strange cold current characteristic where thin wires could conduct appreciable power without heating. Moray suffered ruthless suppression, and in 1939 the device was destroyed. Frontier science lecturer and author Moray B. King explains the invention with todays science: Modern physics recognizes that vacuum contains tremendous energy called the zero-point energy. A way to coherently activate it appears surprisingly simple: First create a glow plasma or corona. Then abruptly pulse it. Other inventors have discovered this approach (sometimes unwittingly) and created novel energy devices, but they too were suppressed. The common pattern of their technologies clarified the fundamental operating principle. The purpose of this book is to inspire engineers and inventors so that a new energy source
