ENERGY FROM SPACE
|
|
An Engineer's Invention Excites Interest
|
|
|
|
In a tiny room in a Bombay suburb, an electrical engineer works
|
|
on a machine that seems to have been conceived in a Sci-Fi book - a
|
|
generator which can ostensibly produce electricity from nothing.
|
|
|
|
But the machine's creator, Paramahamsa Tewari, 51, is not an
|
|
eccentric inventor from one of Sukumar Ray's fantastic tales. He is
|
|
a senior engineer with the Department of Atomic Energy's Nuclear
|
|
Power Corporation (NPC).
|
|
|
|
Tewari created a minor sensation 10 years ago when he produced the
|
|
theory that space is filled with a dynamic medium whose swirling
|
|
motion is the source of all matter and energy.
|
|
|
|
He called it the Space Vortex Theory (SVT) which postulated that at
|
|
the heart of the electron was a void whose high speed rotation
|
|
within a vacuum could produce energy from space.
|
|
|
|
Interestingly, it was the Theosophical Society which had first
|
|
published Tewari's theory by arranging a special lecture in 1977 at
|
|
Adyar in Madras.
|
|
|
|
The theosophists were excited by Tewari's ideas since they were
|
|
remarkably close to observations about the electron put forward by
|
|
Annie Besant's associate, the clairvoyant Charles W. Leadbeater, in
|
|
the book "Occult Chemistry."
|
|
|
|
However, the first indication that Tewari's ideas about the
|
|
structure of space were more than just a mystic vision came earlier
|
|
this year at a conference in Hanover organised by the German
|
|
Association of Gravity Field Energy.
|
|
|
|
The Space Power Generator (SPG) invented by Tewari won the first
|
|
prize of Rs 25,000 from among 25 similar machines presented at the
|
|
conference by scientists from all over.
|
|
|
|
Tewari's generator is actually a simple machine, consisting
|
|
basically of a magnetised cylinder rotating at high speed with the
|
|
help of a motor.
|
|
|
|
Power from this device is extracted by connecting a wire between the
|
|
surface of the cylinder and its axis. According to the engineer-
|
|
inventor, the SPG produces two-and-a-half to three-and- a-half times
|
|
more power than it consumes, defying the basic physical law of
|
|
conservation of energy which says that the output of energy cannot
|
|
be more than the input.
|
|
|
|
Tewari says the excess power comes from the inter-atomic space of
|
|
the rotating cylinder - it is the movement of the "voids" in the
|
|
spinning cylinder which creates additional energy out of the space
|
|
between the machine's axis and the magnet.
|
|
|
|
Tewari admits that his theory sounds incredible taking into account
|
|
the existing laws and that he would never have developed it had he
|
|
been trained as a physicist and not an engineer, since it is so
|
|
divergent from conventional physics.
|
|
|
|
But, he says, it would have been difficult for him to go on with
|
|
work on the SVT and the generator were it not for encouragement from
|
|
two US physicists, John A. Wheeler, director of the Centre for
|
|
Theoretical Physics at the University of Texas, Austin, and Bruce
|
|
DePalma, formerly a lecturer in physics at the Massachusetts
|
|
Institute of Technology.
|
|
|
|
"But for DePalma, I wouldn't have been able to tie up my theory,"
|
|
says Tewari. "He was working on similar ideas and kept sending his
|
|
results to me."
|
|
|
|
Though Tewari, who is slated for transfer to the NPC's Kaiga Project
|
|
in Karnataka as chief project engineer, has pursued his interest in
|
|
physics in his spare time, he has received infrastructural support
|
|
from the NPC for putting together his extraordinary new machine.
|
|
|
|
The SPG was built under Tewari's supervision at the Tarapur Atomic
|
|
Plant. "Tewari's prototype SPG can be considered a major
|
|
breakthrough," says S. L. Kati, managing director of NPC.
|
|
|
|
Before leaving for Hanover, Tewari addressed a meeting of scientists
|
|
and engineers at the Bhaba Atomic Research Centre on his theory.
|
|
|
|
But most physicists remained sceptical about his findings.
|
|
|
|
Undaunted, he is experimenting with a new model of the SPG since his
|
|
return, which he feels will be an improvement. He eventually hopes
|
|
to create a prototype for a generator which could deliver 50 kw to
|
|
100 kw of electricity.
|
|
|
|
"The encouragement I received abroad has been a great help, and
|
|
hopefully within a year, I will be able to build an experimental
|
|
model which could ultimately prove commercially viable," he says.
|
|
|
|
Tewari, of course, is not the only engineer hoping to build the
|
|
ultimate power generation machine - one which will run perpetually
|
|
since it will extract energy from space - as the Hanover conference
|
|
demonstrated.
|
|
|
|
In fact, DePalma, the first inventor to create such a machine, is
|
|
presently conducting experiments in California in anticipation of a
|
|
breakthrough which could lead to commercial production.
|
|
|
|
Their work promises to create ultimately a machine which appears to
|
|
come straight out of a futuristic fantasy.
