MANNING Continued from Page 17 telephone contact with Sweet while Bedini was there in person. Then other people began coming to Sweet’s house and Bearden arrived too. One day Sweet had Bearden deliver a message to Bedini. “Floyd doesn’t want you to build his device and you’re not welcome over there any more.” After all that he’d done in a helpful spirit, Bedini naturally felt hurt. But he kept his word and never built a Sweet device. And he remained friends with Bearden but didn’t discuss Floyd Sweet. Bearden once told me that Sweet seemed to change his stories for no good reason. This frustrated researchers like Bearden and Bedini who want humankind to benefit from inventions. Sweet—dubbed “Sparky” by Bedini—left a trail of more questions than certainties in the minds of people who tried to get answers. Skipping ahead to recent months, we switch to the east coast where Arthur Manelas is running a car on energy from a Sweet-type device. I had an airline ticket to go to a demonstration in September, 2011, but plans changed because Manelas was wisely cautious about bringing in more people. However, now the story is out on the Internet. Since I haven’t interviewed Manelas but have talked with Brian Ahern, we’ll get glimpses of the story as he experienced it. Ahern is an expert in nanotechnology, dealing with extremely tiny materials. (A nanometer is a billionth of a meter.) Trained at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, his varied career includes 24 years as the U.S. Air Force’s resident expert on nano-sized materials and their properties. In 1996 he and colleagues discovered unique vibrational properties in materials processed into a size range of about three to 12 nanometers. To this day relatively few people know about “cooperative oscillations” among ferrite particles in that seemingly magical size-range where magnetic vortices arise like miniature whirlwinds. Those particles operate by a different set of rules! In the bigger picture, Ahern believes that the theories of Don Hotson, who wrote a series of articles for Infinite Energy magazine, explain unsolved mysteries and emerging science. Ahern at first dismissed Hotson’s lengthy articles, then Ahern’s own path brought him to an enlarged viewpoint. First he stepped into the maligned and marginalized Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR) field; new developments attracted 58 ATLANTIS ATLANTIS RISING RISING • Number 95 Manelas Device lights Ahern’s attention enough to make him think of applying nano-materials knowledge to the field. LENR is the field of research that was misnamed “cold fusion” in 1989. Recently experimenters in a branch of LENR—pressuring hydrogen into powdered nickel—have been getting closer to commercializing products. Andrea Rossi of Italy claims that his E-Cat is improved to the point where it can continuously output 600-degree Celsius steam. Defkalion Green Technologies of Greece are racing to bring products to market, and nickel-hydrogen pioneer Francesco Piantelli also seeks to bring cold fusion/LENR to market. While working for Electric Power Research Institute and investigating claims related to his expertise, Ahern became intrigued by a Japanese scientist’s success. Yoshiaki Arata, a wheelchair-bound professor at Osaka University, traveled to a cold fusion conference in America in 2008 and announced he was getting excess energy out of nano-powders of palladium and nickel. Although Arata once received Japan’s highest science award, his announcement didn’t ignite much interest at the conference because of language difficulties and because another respected Japanese scientist, younger and more fluent in English, reported having failed to replicate Arata’s experiment. Arata’s recipe didn’t work for Akito Takahashi. So the topic dropped from sight until Ahern read the full translation of Arata’s science paper. When he saw exactly what nanosized particles of metal Arata had worked with, Ahern told me, he decided “I’m the nano guy; I’m going to reproduce that work. And I did. EPRI just paid for the materials.” He contacted Takahashi and convinced him to try again while paying attention to the specific size of the powdered nickel Arata had used. The result was a successful replication. Confirming the reality of LENR excess-heat output may have readied Ahern to look farther outside of the mainstream, as when he encountered the invention that likely rocked his world. Which brings us back to Arthur Manelas. Ahern needed a specialist to repair his highvoltage power supply, required for LENR-type experiments—HV pulses could possibly trigger more energy output from nano-powders. Manelas came from a neighboring state to Ahern’s laboratory and picked up the equipment. When the repair was completed, Ahern drove to Manelas’ home laboratory. The two men talked, and Ahern reports being astonished at Manelas’ nanomagnetic-related technology. Manelas’ electric car’s batteries seemed to be charging themselves! It looked like an impossible perpetual-motion machine, since the power output of the Manelas Device is continuous and the origin of the power isn’t apparent. Ahern of course knew that would violate the first law of thermodynamics. There had to be an explanation. He would design tests for the device and its battery pack outside of the car, on a bench top, and figure how to cage the equipment in isolation from ambient electromagnetic input. According to people who have talked with him, Manelas believes that his device is closely related to what Floyd Sweet had. Manelas’ device is built around a four-inch square, half-inch-thick slab made of nano-sized particles of ferrite. (Ferrite means iron or materials containing iron. A ferrous metal has magnetic characteristics). The slab is also the core of a transformer in the electrical circuit of the device. Technical specifications say it should heat up to about five degrees warmer than the surrounding air temperature when working, Ahern says. Instead it runs at five degrees Celsius below the local temperature. Ahern believed he was seeing yet another example of “energy localization” of particles in the three- to 12 nanometer range. Electricity is produced, rather than heat that has be converted to electricity via steam turbines. LENR devices’ output is heat, not direct electricity. In Ahern’s mind the new discoveries dwarf LENR in importance. The Manelas device and probably those nickel-hydrogen LENR experiments are not nuclear reactions, according to what Ahern is learning. I hope that in the future when new energy science is widely recognized, science books will leave the word “nuclear” out of names for LENR inventions that involve powdered nickel and hydrogen. Ahern told one interviewer, “I believe all of LENR is just a new and unanticipated form of nanomagnetism.” Jeane Manning’s blog is http://Changing Power.net and her latest co-authored book is available for sale at http://BreakthroughPower.net in both print and e-book formats.

HOMINID Continued from Page 23 Between 1891 and 1893 a Dutch physician with a French name, Eugene Dubois, excavated on the banks of the Solo River in Java and found an apelike skull cap, some teeth, and, some distance away, a thigh bone indicating an erect posture. This was “Java Man,” or Pithecanthropus erectus, and the skull cap was eventually dated at about 1,800,000 BP. Much later, more honest and thorough researchers concluded that the thigh bone is that of a modern man and the other remains that of an ape, possibly an early gibbon. But Dubois was eager to establish his reputation, and others in the anthropological community were eager to prove their true religion, so the remains were, for a long time, accepted uncritically and even assigned to a larger group, Homo erectus. Other researchers, such as Gustav von Koenigswald, found scattered bone fragments in Java as well, and leaped to the conclusion that they were yet more examples of Pithecanthropus. It is alarmingly easy for some “scientists” to gather together a handful of scattered A purportedly authentic recreation of Lucy bone fragments and assemble whatever they want to find. As for Homo erectus, mentioned above, many bones and even some fairly complete skeletons have been found in many parts of Asia, Africa, and Europe, with some indeed dating back to about 1,800,000 BP. Homo erectus brain sizes varied from about 850 cc to about 1,100 cc; modern human brains range from 1,150 cc to 1,364 cc. So Homo erectus overlapped, or nearly so, with modern man and walked erect and had tools and fire. As with Neanderthal Man, researchers have simply assumed that Homo erectus is a species separate from and ancestral to our own—but, again, there is no reason to believe that this is the case. Many of Homo erectus’ “primitive” characteristics, such as brow ridges, are sometimes found in modern humans, and, like Neanderthal, these people may well have been a different (and now extinct) race of modern Homo sapiens. Based often on a mere handful of bone fragments, other researchers, with reputations, jobs, tenure, and research grants on the line, have discovered other types of early man they assume to be separate species. These include Homo Er- See Our Great 8-page Catalog Beginning on Page 74 gaster, Rhodesian Man, and Heidelberg Man. All had brain sizes overlapping with the modern range; and the giant Heidelberg Man, with many examples over six feet tall and some (assumed to be of the same “species”) over seven feet in height, had modern brain sizes of 1,100 cc to 1,400 cc. So sparse and scattered are the remains that it is not even certain that Ergaster and Rhodesian Man even existed as separate races (let alone species), and, again, there is no reason (save a burning desire to prove Darwin right) to believe that Heidelberg Man was a species separate from our own, let alone our ancestor. So it looks as if researchers were pretending that people of our own species were primitive, ape-like ancestors. Working from the other end to fill in the gaps (one missing link is not enough), other researchers appear to have imbued apes with human characteristics. Several apparently separate species have been grouped together as “australopithecines.” Most famous of these is “Lucy,” discovered in the Afar Triangle region of Africa by Donald Johanson. He found a partial skeleton, and, some distance away, a line of footprints left by a person walking erect, with feet remarkably similar to our own. Johanson assumed (following Eugene Dubois’ example) that of course the prints were left by “Lucy” or by another member of her species, and that she walked erect. That takes a lot of assuming, but it was, no doubt, a good career move. More scattered fragments have been assembled by researchers to prove that at least some australopithecines walked erect, but the thigh bones appear a bit thin; there are unresolved questions about the feet; and modern gibbons (the smallest apes) have a similar structure because they brachiate in the trees, hanging from their long arms with their legs and feet directly beneath them. Artists’ depic- tions of Lucy show her as less hairy than any ape (just as Neanderthals and Homo erectus are depicted as more hairy than modern humans) and her thighs have been conveniently thickened. Perhaps Homo habilis is a similar case. Physical anthropologists cannot even agree that such a creature even existed, and the few fragments found show, it appears, nothing more than a small-brained ape. Incredibly, the evidence for the extreme antiquity of modern human beings is far stronger than the evidence that any of the creatures described above are our nonhuman ancestors…but this evidence, because it does not fit the accepted narrative, is ignored. Researchers like Michael Cremo and Richard Thompson have scoured museums and archives and made much of this public. The further back we go in time, the more sparse is the evidence and the weaker the chain of custody of the remains, which, in any case, have often been “lost.” Yet there is evidence that our species was around two, five, or even ten million years ago…or, possibly, much earlier. Spear points of an advanced design, dating to 430,000 BP have been found in northern Germany, and stone tools in Mexico from 250,000 BP. A human skull found near Buenos Aires in Argentina was dated to 1,000,000 B.P., and human skeletons were found in California in rock layers fifty million years old. It looks as if the Darwinists have turned humans of our own species into ape men, and apes into pre-humans, while ignoring the very real evidence for our extreme antiquity. In a perfect example of circular “reasoning,” conventional scientists insist that any such early remains are either fraudulent, incorrectly identified, or incorrectly dated. There cannot possibly be human remains millions of years old because there were no humans then, as proved by the absence of remains. Yet even the conventional researchers have been forced to revise our age as a species back from 50,000 years to 120,000, to 275,000, and recently in Israel back to 400,000, (See Michael Cremo’s column elsewhere in this issue). Using their own timetables for the development of modern civilizations (50,000 years from our emergence to the Moon landings), we can see that there has been plenty of time for advanced civilizations to rise and fall, again and again.
