“Electrons are antioxidants and high voltage EMFs strengthens immune response.” – Dr. T. Valone
• HF EMF penetrate several centimeters into body
• Diseased cells have low transmembrane potential• Low TMP = low Na-K pump & ATP impairment• Membranes rectify AC electromagnetic fields
(EMFs) thus producing DC electron flow• External high voltage (HV) EMFs increase TMP• Electroporation transmigrates ions & nutrients• Boosting TMP while creating electron transfer to
fight free radicals helps the immune system
Gold’s Gym has this VE-1 therapy unit on West Coast
Clinical tests for proving TMP boost
• Free radical tests for quenching

“We’re pretending that business as usual will supply all our needs. But there’s an impending oil crisis we’re basically seeing, that will actually
bite us sooner than we’re expecting it and it’s better to prepare for it now.”

The recharging of the car: filling the tanks it will take about to 2 to 3 minutes at a price of 1.5 euros. After refilling, the car is capable of driving up to 200 kilometers.
Because the engine does not burn any fuel the car's oil (a litre of vegetable) only needs to be changed every 50,000 Km. The temperature of the clean air expulsed form the exhaust pipe is between 0 and 15 degrees below zero and can be subsequently channeled and used for air conditioning in the interior of the car.

Feasibility of ZPE Extraction StudyFeasibility of ZPE Extraction StudyValone is author of a 180-page feasibility study on the extraction of useful energy from the vacuum
Zero Point Energy: The Fuel of the Future is the new book summarizing the findings of the feasibility study
Hydrodynamic Model of ZPF - Vehicle Interactions
• Resistance vs. speed for sound and for light is same
• speed of light c = ( μoεo )-½
• sound speed c = (qRγT)½
• Aerodynamic viscous drag is compared to the Lorentz force exerted by the ZPF
• μoεo and Einstein-Hopf drag F = - R v can be reduced by nonabelian electromagnetic fields with a toroid
Fronig, 38th JPC, AIAA-2002-3925
• Fronig solved Euler eqs of fluid dynamics with vacuum perturbed by toroidal EM field
• ZPF loses its drag when T 0 K
• Only directional accelerating recoil left
• Transfers energy from ZPF to vehicle

“The ZPF will exert a magnetic Lorentz force...”
Resistance to acceleration results from Davies-Unruh effect

“Magnets around the edge of a rotating disk”
Homopolar Generators are “a subject worthy of further research”
“generator would be self-perpetuating”
“The outside perimeter of each disc carries twelve magnets…Here we can draw off electrical current from the central hubs on which they spin…The generation of a perpetual flow of electrical energy from each disc will continue as long as the discs rotate…this magnetic and gyroscopic effect creates its own gravity.” -- Ancient Elder on Mu Ship (from Paulsen’s Sunburst book, reprinted in Valone’s Homopolar Handbook)

Quote from Nikola Tesla“Throughout space there is energy. Is
this energy static or kinetic? If static our hopes are in vain; if kinetic – and we know it is, for certain – then it is a mere question of time when men will succeed in attaching their machinery to the very wheelwork of Nature. Many generations may come to pass, but in time our machinery will be driven by a power obtainable at any point in the Universe.”
