"The world does not need oil. Technology exists to derive free, zero-point, or scalar energy from the vacuum
...
Lt. Col. (Ret.) Tom Bearden, Ph.D., U.S. Army, spent his lifetime trying to convince modern science that the vacuum is not an emptiness, but a plenum."

"The above article is nonsense cargo cult physics and not worth reading. Bearden's ideas have been discredited in Scientific American and elsewhere. I have known about Bearden since 1974 or so when he was advising Ira Einhorn. I was never able to understand his unintelligible claims that have no relation to any physics I know. As a matter of fact there is very little energy inside the vacuum only about 10^-27 grams/cc - that is the cosmological constant problem that needs the hologram universe idea to properly understand. Indeed, our universe could not exist if there was a huge amount of vacuum energy because vacuum energy bends spacetime just like ordinary energy does." -- Jack Sarfatti
Electromagnetism does not contain any mechanism allowing for "over-unity" or "free energy" devices. Tom Bearden explains the operation of the MEG with a wide range of alternative theories, including the proposal that all electrical devices, from batteries to electromechanical generators, in reality operate on vacuum energy. However, the theory seems to offer no concrete testable predictions, and is generally dismissed by the physics community at large. Bearden himself has little formal training in physics and one analysis of these theories describes them as "full of misconceptions and misunderstandings concerning the theory of the electromagnetic field"[12].
