Discovering of many amazing phenomena in various fields of natural science, progress
achieved in technics and technology have contributed to manifestation of a crisis being
conceived long ago in the depths of Physics as a science about most general and universal
laws of Nature. Results have been achieved mostly owing to rich intuition of researchers.
or in connection with effects revealed quite by chance. Symptoms of sceptical attitude
towards the foundations of physical knowledge have appeared long before in the brains of
famous scientists having made invaluable contributions to development of science as such
(P.Ehrenfest, A.Einstein, P.Feinmann, LE.Tamm and others). A giant armoury of
mathematical techniques applied by modern Physics for statistical representation cannot
provide a strict and adequate description of the events. There is no understanding of the
seemingly not too complex processes occurring plasma, in liquid and solid bodies. There
are problems in thermodynamics, electrodynamics, nuclear Physics, gravitation, let alone
biophysics, biology and other sciences.
Lack of the axiomatic description testifies: it is not everything well in Physics concerning
its foundations. New phenomena have been discovered being not predicted by modern
conceptions or even "contradicting" to them. In view of such situation many researchers
were coming to the idea about necessity to analyse criticaHy the modern Physics, to search
for a way out of this prolonged crisis.
Difficulties waiting for them on this way are obvious. Traditional science is pre
programmed to achieve the knowledge (information), to apply it for solving the problems
of life, to transfer knowleage to new generations. There was no question ever about the
real understanding of knowledge, about its estimation. Investigations aimed at that were
even prohibited and discredited.
The time is pressing urgently for solving many problems ripened in Physics, which is a
crucial branch of knowledge pretending to form our ideas about the real world, to ensure
technical progress. There is a need to look into the situation formed in Phy.sics; to discuss
all possible ideas and proposals with the aim to define the paths for furtfrer development
of natural science.
Members of the Organising Committee have pursued just this noble goal, when they
started to _prepare and to organise the International scientific conference ''New ideas in
natl.iral sci~hce". This conference is aimed at realisation of a new scientific program -
"Program to,_ understand and to estimate the knowledge, to develop new ideas in natural
science". There are' two parts of this conference:
I. Problems of modern Physics;
2. Interaetions between sciences about E:arth and Universe.
By taking into account the long period of stagnation in science it was decided to make it
possible to present different conceptions, points of view, experimental investigations
carried out in new fields, to discuss critically the contemporary state of science, its
paradigm, to discuss proposals con ~erning solution of fundamental problems.
International scientific conferenc.e has taken place June J 7-22 1996 in St. Petersburg.
Papers presented were devoted to rery important problems. Concrete solutions for a
number of scientific and technical pn. blems have been proposed. Proceedings of the first
part of the conference. are published in 1.his collection with papers on following subjects:
I. Contemporary problems in Physics. Theoretical investigations.
4
2. New energetics. Practical results.
3. Gravitation and adjacent technologies.
4. Research of space, time and information features.
Results achieved were above all expectations. A number of investigations show: Physics
has lost a lot by not having included in its arsenal the principles and conceptions of
classical dynamics. Due to incorrect translation from Latin not only the content of axioms
has been distorted, but also interpretation of fundamental laws. A. substitution of notions
and principles formed by dynamical· approach to phenomena's analysing has occurred.
Paradigm, program and goals of research have been modified.
Time will be needed to apprehend, to understand and to assess the .set of information
offered. It will be necessary to realise, ·to interpret and to overcome the "good learned"
delusion structure in foundation of physical knowledge being formed through centuries.
Qne conclusion can be made already now: serious efforts are needed t9 implement this new
. Program, to develop this new direction in science - to help science to understand itself.
This is the only way out of the crisis to pave the paths for further progress of science, to
define and to stimulate the main directions of research! to find new solutions of technical
and technological problems. · '

ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF SPACE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES
(SET) ON INDIVIDUALS AND SOCIETY
by
Pn.n:
Dr. Josef Gruber,
Abstract
Space energy (SE) is a ,,new" renewable source of energy. Examples of small working
space energy technology (SET) devices are given. Such SET-devices are hard facts. They
usually have been checked by independent experts and/or in replicated experiments and have be
en patented. They are usually based on new theories (still to.be developed further), published in
peer-reviewed journals of mainstream physics. SET-devices 'J.'.Ork permanently (24 hours per
day, all year) and everywhere (on Earth and in space). These properties make SET-devices not
only economicaHy viable but even highly competitive. SET-devices are now subject to develop
mental research. Their widespread use has tremendous econo!J!ic, social, fiscal and environmen
tal consequences: Humankind can reach, at least with respect to energy, a sustainable develop
ment.
l · Introductory remarks: Space energy, a ,,new" renewable source of energy, can be
tapped, sustainability with respect to ene:rgy can be reached
Some very hard facts form the basis of my presentation.: There are new theories in
mainstream physics which state that there exists a source of energy not known earlier (called
space energy (SE), zero~point-energy (ZPE), vacuum field energy (VFE) or free energy) and
that this source of energy may be tapped. EspeciaHy Dr. Harold E. Puthoff, a theoretical and
experimental physicist in Austin, Texas, USA, and his colleagues have succeeded in publishing
new theories in peer-reviewed physics journals. They have also replicated laboratory experi
ments in which this .,new" source of energy is being tapped. There exist already small devices
(generators, energy converters, motors) which tap this previously unknown source of energy.
Most of these devices have been thoroughly checked by independent experts, have been pa
tented and are now subjecuo developmental :research, mainly in Japan and in the USA.

This new space energy technology (SET) has properties which makes SET-devices eco
nomically viable and even very competitive:
1. SET-devices require no traditional fuel like gasoline or Diesel. In some SET-
devices, magnetism {from pennanent magnets) plays the crucial role. In others, ordinary water
plays the role of a fuel: In a new type of hydrolysis, it is splitted into hydrogen and oxygen. In
the procedures employed in SET-devices, often-referred-to concepts are: Casimir effect, sono
luminescence, condensed charge technology.
2. SET-devices operate permanently (24 hours per day, aU year). They probably
work everywhere on ~~ and in space. The energy output of some SET-devices can be adju. .
sted instantaneously fo the energy demand. For these three reasons, no energy storage is re
quired and relatively small SET-devices suffice. Even smaller SET-devices will do, if com
bined with some small storage capacity which helps to satisfy peaks in energy demand
(compare, for example, with cars during speeding up or with airplanes during take-off; use of
optimal control).
Put differently, space energy is a ssrenewable" source of energy like sun, wind or water.
From the economic point of view, it possesses great advantages. The corresponding SET
devices will n<?t o~ly be viable but also very competitive. The impact of their widespre,ad use
on individuals and on society will be tremendous: Humankind now can reach, at least with re
spect to· energy, a sustainable development.
In this short paper I want so· share with you some info~ation about space energy, about
some· corresponding SET -devices (section 2) and about some consequences of their widespread
use (section 3). I would not be surprised if most of this information were for you as new and as
, incredible as it was for me some thre~ ye~s agQ. Beginning in the late 1980s, at my chair of
·· Statistics and Econometri~s we had been concf!rned with econometrically mod~ling the long-nm
energy supply {minimal-cost combination of competing sources of energy) for West Germany:
We enlarged a huge linear-programrning model so that also renewable sources of energy
(without space energy) could enter the optimization.process. In June, 1993, by pure chance I
got infonnation about and saw a few weeks later for the first time a demonstrati.pn of a SET
device: an electricity generator based on permanent magnets, developed by a German inventor
who wants to remain anonymous ..
2 Some examples of promising SET. . devices
. t
During the last few years, especially in 1995, there has been a breakthrough in developing,
testing and patenting SET-devices. For lack of space, only a few SET-devices can be mentioned
here. Detailed information is available in the sources stated below and in section 5.
1. Patterson power cell (PPC)
It is a patented system for a new type of hydrolysis of water, for ,,new hydrogen energy"
(originally reported to be ,,Cold Fusion"). According to Fox ( 1996), it is a light-water (i.e. ordi
nary water)~ lithium ~lectrolyte, nickel/palladium catalyst. He sees in the Patterson power cell
the leading contender for commercialization. For this purpose, there is CETI (Clean Energy
Technologies, Inc.), 14332 Montfort, Suite 6302, Dallas, Texas 75240, USA, Phone (214) 458-

7620, Fax [phone]. PPC was checked by several independent groups of experts. De
monstration models were shown in operation at conferences, for example at the Power
Generation '95 conference in Anaheim, California, Dec. 5-7, 1995.
2. Takahashi's supermagnet-supermotor
The.Japanese inventor Yasunori Takahashi has developed extraordinary permanent magnets. He
uses them in a ,.supermotor" such that a ,new" source of energy is being tapped. The
,.supermotor" has been used in a Honda electric scooter. This motor scooter bas been shown in
London. Takahashi's company dealing with his magnets is Sciez Corporation, headquartered
(also?) in the UK. Super strong permanent magnets are also used in the ,,Battery Doubler"
which makes it possible to charge nickel~admium batteries and lithium batteries more efficient
ly, thus extending the running time by a multiple of between 1.5 and 2.5. More information is
available from MPI Magnetic Power Inc., 30la North Main Street, P.O. Box 880, Sebastopol
CA 95473, USA, Phone [phone], Fax [phone].
3. Swiss M-L-converter
The Swiss M-L-converter TESTA TIKA taps a new source of energy by means of magnetism. It
is started by hand (two metal plates turning in opposite direction). Then it runs on a stand-alone
basis.
Output: 3-4 kW direct current, depending on humidity of the air. It has not yet been ma
de available for corrunercialization.
4. Stanley Meyer's water-fueled engine
Stanley A. Meyer, 3792 Broadway, Grove City, Ohio 43123, USA, holds a US patent on his
water-fueled engine (no. 5,149,507, dated Septeml>er 22, 1992;24 pages). In the patent ab
stract, it is stated:
,.Water molecules are broken down into hydrogen and oxygen gas atoms in a ca
pacity cell by a polarization und resonance dependent upon the dielectric properties of water
and water molecules. The gas atoms are thereafter ionized or otherwise energized and thermally
combusted to release a degree of energy greater than that of combustion of the gas in ambient
air". More information was given in a Channel4 TV broadcast (see section 5 below).
Somehow related to Meyer's water-fueled engine are GUnter Poschl's engines
which run on a miXture of water and traditional fuel. The German inventor Gunter Posch! does
not refer to space energy etc. Contact: UTI Management and Holding AG, SchwindstraBe 3M,
D-60325 Frankfurt/Main. Phone [phone], Fax [phone]. See also Gruber
( 1995/1996). where also other highly interesting products related to energy and environment are
briefly discussed (e.g. RADIGEN-generator fer the production of fuel mixtures, OXYV ARlO
oxygen-enrichment-technology, MICON recycling of critical waste in a vacuum hydrogen plas
ma). If combined with SET, there can be breakthroughs in several directions.
5. Griggs' hydrosonic pump
The hydrosonic pump is a patented device that makes steam and hot water without combustion.
It uses mechanical shock waves. It obviously tai)S a s:tew source of energy. Further information
is availabLe from Hydro Dynamics. Inc., 8 Redmond Court, Rome, Georgia 30165, USA, Phone
[phone], Fax [phone].

a) Kenneth Shoulders' high density electron charge clusters (patented, experjmentally
replicated).
b) N-machines (associated mainly with names like Faraday, Bruce DePalma, Tewari and
Inomata).
c) Other magnetic motors (e.g. Stefan Marinov, Harold Aspden, the Adams magnetic
motor).
. d) thermogenerator YUSMAR (commercially produced in K.ishinov, Moldavia (former
Soviet Union), for room heating and warm water production).
More information about these SET- devices is available in the sources listed in section 5,
especially in Gruber (1994) and Gruber (1995/1996).
3 Economic impact of large-scale applications of space energy technology (SET)
Based on hard facts mentioned in sections 1 and 2, now simple scenarios are outlined
which indicate some effects of using SET-devices on a large scale. Most statements are of the
,if ..., then ••• "-type, that is, they are no forecasts.
3.1 Scenarios/or using SET-devices in tlze transport sector
Here it is assumed that there are cars which are fueled by water or which have engines
based on permanent magnets (see sections 1 and 2). In any case, such SET-vehicles do not need
any traditional fuel like gas or Diesel. For short, we speak of water-fueled cars or SET- cars.
There are strong incentives to use water-fueled cars. In. Germany, a traditional passenger
car typically causes fuel costs of some 1.800 DM/year (= 8 1/100 km x 1,50 DM/1 x 15.000
km/year). The price of water-fueled cars in mass production will probably be at the same level
as the price of traditional cars. The duration of use a11d other properties influencing the costs of
operating should be about the same for both types of cars. For short, it surely pays for an indivi
dual consumer or producer to purchase a water-fueled car, if a traditional car has to be replaced
anyway. Since the marginal costs of driving a SET-car are lower (no fuel costs), it may also be
optimal for the individual to drive more kilometers (e.g. 20.000 or25.000 km instead of 15.000
km per year now).
Scenario 1.1: Only old traditional cars (which have to be replaced anyway) are re
placed by SET- cars
10% of all originally available passenger cars in a country are replaced by water-fueled
cars every year. Mter 10 years, the entire car fleet will consist of only such cars. What effects
does this have at the individual, local, regional, national and international level?
• Owners/users of SET- cars save the fuel costs.
• The gasoline demand of the car fleet will ceteris paribus decrease every year by some
I 0% of the original demand for this purpose.
• The demand for oil for the same purpose will decrease accordingly. Thus, the interna
tional flows of oil and of funds are greatly influenced.
• Decrease will also, perhaps by a similar percentage,
- the number of required gas stations (not of service stations!);
