Practical Guige to Free Energy Devices

1. Field of the Invention:
This invention relates to energy conversion circuits utilising discharge tubes operating in the pulsed abnormal
glow discharge (PAGD) regime.
2. Review of the Art:
Such discharge tubes and circuits incorporating them are described in our co-pending U.S. patent application Ser.
Nos. 07/922,863 and 07/961,531. The first of these applications discloses discharge tube constructions
particularly suited for PAGD operation, and the second discloses certain practical applications of such tubes,
particularly in electric motor control circuits. The review of the art contained in those applications is incorporated
here by reference, as is their disclosure and drawings.
It is known that there are anomalous cathode reaction forces associated with the cathodic emissions responsible
for vacuum arc discharges, the origin and explanation of which have been the subject of extensive discussion in
scientific literature, being related as it is to on-going discussion of the relative merits of the laws of
electrodynamics as variedly formulated by Ampere, Biot-Savart and Lorentz. Examples of literature on the
subject are referenced later in this application.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The particular conditions which prevail in a discharge tube operated in the PAGD regime, in which a plasma
eruption from the cathode is self-limiting and collapses before completion of a plasma channel to the anode gives
rise to transient conditions which favour the exploitation of anomalous cathode reaction forces.
We have found that apparatus utilising discharge tubes operated in a self-sustaining pulsed abnormal glow
discharge regime, in a double ported circuit designed so that energy input to the tube utilised to initiate a glow
discharge pulse is handled by an input circuit substantially separate from an output circuit receiving energy from
the tube during collapse of a pulse, provides valuable energy conversion capabilities.
The invention extends to a method of energy conversion, comprising initiating plasma eruptions from the cathode
of a discharge tube operating in a pulsed abnormal glow discharge regime utilising electrical energy from a source
in a first circuit connected to said discharge tube, and capturing electrical energy generated by the collapse of
such eruptions in a second circuit connected to the discharge tube.
