I started my work on the Bearden switching circuit in order to be prepared when the critical semiconductor material is made available. By much trial and error, my discovery, not invention, is only a small introduction. The content of the enclosed contains important correction and update of my earlier releases. Please call if there is any question or you would like an updated complete copy of the circuit and description.

Box 58639 Salt Lake City, UT 84158 Dear Mr. Fox, Thanks to the advice of Dan Davidson, I recently went to Santa Maria and met Walt Rosenthal. I have personally experienced the quality of this man's experience and his reputation for being the final authority on electrical and electronic measurements. With his modern and high-tech equipment, he patiently and meticulously checked every point of data on my version of Bearden's theoretical switching circuit. (See "Current News on Current Gain", New Energy News, Feb. '94, p.15.) Page 1 Every one of his measurements validated my data. In conclusion, however, the circuit effects a large current gain but there was no power gain. Walt's current probes and high resolution test equipment were able to measure the input power during the short pulse of the primary circuit. When this measured power is averaged over the period of the complete cycle, it matched my calculations. My calibrated analog dc milliammeters represented a true average current value and so they represented the corrected ON time of the primary circuit. My error was to apply ON time adjustment to the "potential" source when the average measured current already contained, in effect, that adjustment. There are still rays of hope. Some "space energy" theory relates directly to this circuit and its present performance. (See supplement.) A couple of experienced "space energy" researchers are puzzled by the circuit's non-conventional features. I and others have gained much experience and knowledge. By the content of this letter, the two supplements, and past correspondence (see also KeelyNet files TOD*.*.), my "gain" has been fully shared with many. When the required 'special semiconductor material' shows up, many more people will now have an easier time in checking out Tom Bearden's theory, method #2. In the meantime, there is still much to learn. Why does this simple circuit perform as a current amplifier? Why is the current discharge so incredibly slow for an extremely low circuit resistance? Why is there so little variation in the performance of the circuit when the coil "collector" parameters are adjusted over a wide range? Why is the high current gain limited to a small range of on-off ratio and frequency? Why does the circuit not work with a variety of power MOSFETs, even when listed by NTE as equivalent? Thanks for your vote of confidence by publishing my earlier experience with the Bearden circuit. It strikes me as a remarkable coincidence that the coverage of space energy and a preliminary investigation of Bearden's free energy circuit were in the same NEN newsletter, and exactly one year after the release of Bearden's "The Final Secret of Free Energy". There is still a need to test the circuit with Bearden's mysterious "degenerative semiconductor material" in the 'collector'. I have found a source of gold ribbon alloy with 12% germanium. There is another source for anodized aluminum foil for testing a capacitor 'collector'. Neither source is willing to provide enough sample for test and the minimum order for both sources far exceeds my limited budget. I will keep you posted. Please let me know if there are any questions.

Here are some NEN comments on space energy which relate to my current version of Bearden's theoretical switching circuit. All references are from the Feb. '94 issue of New Energy News. Space energy is fundamental in stabilizing all matter (pg. 3, col. 2, para. 1) and is all-pervading without regard to temperature or vacuum. (pg. 4, col. 1, para. 4; col. 2, para. 3) It is from "zero- point fluctuations of the background vacuum electromagnetic field". (pg. 3, col. 1, para. 3) Space energy can be tapped without limit (pg. 4, col. 2, para. 3) from an accelerated frame of reference. (pg.9, col. 1, para. 2) Electric current through a coil exhibits an aligning effect upon space energy. The process of modifying the alignment of space energy couples space energy into electrical coil thus inducing an electric current. Electric induction can therefore be attributed to changes in the alignment of space energy. (pg. 9, col. 2, para. 1) Solutions for Measurements and Replication This version of Bearden's switching circuit presently shows very little power capacity but a significant current gain (now up to 200). This is without the use of semiconductor material or the use of a super high speed switching rate, i.e, 10E-19 sec. And so we are only at the beginning of our potential! Even though there is presently a small current in the primary loop (the ideal is none), the switching circuit demonstrates a large current gain when there is a sharp pulse (at least on the trailing side), a switch ON of a few microseconds to a wire "collector", and a low circuit resistance in both the primary and secondary loops. The "collector" needs to be at least 30 feet of 22 gauge. Longer and larger is okay. The ideal measurement tool is a low level DC current probe and a digital scope. When using series in-circuit milli-ammeters, they need to have less than 2.0 ohms internal resistance. These are not common. And so add a shunt to quality low level m icro or milli- ammeters. However, low resistance DC ammeters have difficulty reading the low current values in the primary loop. Determining these low values is critical for proper calculation of gain. Caution: A pulsed DC current is not the same thing as an AC signal. Many RMS meters are for common AC or AC on DC patterns. Many digital ammeters do not take a fast enough sample or take enough samples to integrate a one microsecond pulse that is ON only 0.2 of 1 percent of the time. A little arithmetic and a simple series DC circuit with an electronic switch will provide ample demonstration. Page 3 Start with a low frequency and an ON OFF ratio of one. Apply the meters and gradually increase the frequency and then gradually increase or decrease the ON OFF ratio. This will verify and provide a calibration for the meters. When there is a very short ON time of a DC pulse relative to a long OFF time and when the values are very low on the scale, an extreme ON OFF ratio can factor a major significance in determining current or power gain. However, the meter scale can be calibrated by substituting a known resistor in the "collector" position. The fixed and known voltage of the Bearden circuit primary loop divided by the resistor value times the ON/(ON+ OFF) time will establish the correct current value for the scale. Calculation of power out is by the current squared times the load because the high impedance of voltmeters prevents them from providing an average value with the same relative reference. Low resistance analog electromechanical DC ammeters can provide a reasonably accurate average current value. This is proven by the meters indicating the same current in both loops when using a capacitor "collector over a wide range of frequency and ON OFF ratios. This is also proved by a consistent battery time-energy drain curve for the same wide range of frequencies and ON OFF ratios. This is for the situation of a load in the secondary loop when compared to the same load on a direct battery connection. However, there is a limit and be sure to note the caution above. In addition to measurement problems, the lack of replication of a current gain appears to stem from substituting components with high internal resistance, slow switching rate capability, or not matching impedance to maintain a sharp pulse. Even a small signal general purpose high frequency FET in only the inverter stage degrades the performance. There are chips and boards especially designed for driving power MOSFETs. And still yet to be tested are those power MOSFETs which have a hundred times less internal resistance. A recent KeelyNet file called ZPETEST offers additional insight and improvements. (KeelyNet is a free BBS, datum 214-324-3501.) This file suggests my circuit is similar to a conventional flyback converter. The circuit is similar but not equal. There is no evidence of current or voltage leaking from either of the batteries into the load. The circuit will support additional parallel "Bearden portions" with practically no additional burden on the switch and inverter stage. Questions? Why does this simple circuit perform as a current amplifier? Why is the current discharge so incredibly slow for an extremely low circuit resistance? Why is there so little variation in the performance of the circuit when the coil "collector" parameters are adjusted over a wide range? Why is the high current gain limited to a small range of on-off ratio and frequency? Why does the circuit not work with a variety of power MOSFETs, even when listed by NTE as equivalent? -------------------------------------------------------------------- If we can be of service, you may contact Jerry at (214) 324-8741 or Ron at (214) 242-9346 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 4
