The wavelengths which may be filtered are directly proportional to the spacing of the mesh, so that ordinary window screens, for example, will readily filter out waves in the centimeter range, i.e., microwaves. On a smaller scale, waves in the range of visible light may be blocked by polarizing filters, so that any wave transmitted by the filter must be either longitudinal or of shorter length than those of visible light. In physics calculations, longitudinal photons are usually negated by a gauge transformation. Thus transformed, they become simple Coulomb fields. Nevertheless, there are some physical situations in which longitudinal components must be dealt with in their own right. Nuclear interactions, both weak and strong, owe their existence in large part to the action of virtual particles which are dominantly longitudinal in character. In a 1969 paper from Russia (1), the generation and detection of longitudinal photons is addressed in an experiment designed to yield an estimate of the lower limit of the photon's rest mass. The authors propose a device constructed from two oscillating circuits which are linked by a common capacitor with a metal screen interposed between the capacitor's separate plates. The experiment measures extra low and ultra low frequencies to an accuracy commensurate with a period of (3*10^-3/sec), roughly equivalent to the conductivity period of the free vacuum. The accuracy estimate assumes a generated frequency of 10^5 Hz at a power rating of 40 watts, with the detection cycle equal to roughly 10^6 seconds. Page 1 The ratio of the common capacitance squared, divided by the product of the separate circuit capacitances is equal to roughly 10. Synchronous detection with the generator signal allows transverse and longitudinal components to measured separately. The long detection cycle compensates for the signal-to-noise ratio. Notwithstanding the minute frequency which the authors of the paper seek to detect, their experiment bears a direct relation to rumored experiments of much higher power. Col. Tom Bearden, USAF Ret., suggests that Russian military experiments of the early 1960's employed scalar/longitudinal interferometry to project high energy pulses at long range, thus creating a highly destructive weapon. (2) Whether or not this is true, the appearance of the aforementioned paper from 1969 indicates that the principles of such weapons were likely well understood in Russia outside of the narrow realm of classified research. Properly scaled up, the conductive screen used in the low power experiment could be placed in front of a broadcast antenna to filter out transverse waves and project pure longitudinal radiation. Avalanche discharge generates copious quantities of longitudinal photons, so spark gap units might be used in conjunction with tuned frequencies. When the output of such an antenna intersects a similar output froma second transmitter, the longitudinal components of the radiation recouple to produce an implosive "energy bottle" whose effects are devastating at high intensities. There are, however, more productive uses of this principle in the field of energy production. One application of the "energy bottle" effect which immediately springs to mind is the economical generation of "hot" fusion. An approach currently in vogue utilizes high-powered lasers in a spherically symmetrical array to rapidly compress the deuterium fuel of a small glass pellet. Lithium niobate crystals are configured to double or quadruple the frequency output of lower frequency lasers, so that the radiation striking the pellet is as energetic as possible. The longitudinal approach suggests that crossed polarizing filters, such as transparent crystals with an appropriate lattice spacing, could be employed to enhance the implosive effect of the colliding beams. On a more exotic note, zero-point energy might be more efficiently tapped by the assisted collapse of high density plasma in a reaction vessel with cubic symmetry. A set of six orthogonal emitters of variable frequency tuned to the desired plasma resonance could be pulsed to first implode, and then rotate the ions of the plasma into a three-dimensional convective assembly. (See M. King, "Tapping the Zero-Point Energy"). Page 2 The cycloidal motion of the ions thus induced (theoretically) enhances the production of virtual charge within the plasma. Moreover, the longitudinal radiation itself may couple to the induced virtual charge within the plasma and thus increase the reaction further. In an ideal device, ions are fed into the reaction chamber until the desired density is achieved. Properly phased pulses are then applied to the plasma at a predetermined frequency. High-frequency ultrasound might be introduced to mechanically supplement the electromagnetic pulses. A Russian researcher (3) reports a gain of near 400% in a plasma device wherein cold plasma is allowed to collapse under the influence of zero-point pressure. The approach outlined here suggests that one may amplify this effect by drawing some of the generated energy to power the longitudinal transmitters and ultrasound transducers. Even a small wattage impressed upon a self sustaining reaction should, in principle, increase the efficiency and controllability of the reaction.
