The ZPE Project Purpose and Objectives
Established in 2022, the ZPE Project is comprised of a volunteer, member-funded group established with the initial objective of harnessing zero-point energy to produce electricity in a sustainable way, with low or no environmental impact, in a format that is portable, remotely accessible, safe, and reliable. We have recently reformed into a registered (pending) 501(c)3 charity in order to be able to fund a wider range of projects and collaborations than we were previously able to. If you are interested in learning more about our specific plans or how to donate, please visit our contact page.
There have been many examples of devices that produce power “from thin air”. There are many terms used for this “other dimension” from which power can be extracted, such as ether (aether), prana, quantum vacuum, zero-point energy, etc. This project group uses the term “zero-point energy”, or ZPE.
The ZPE Project group is organized by teams centered around specific skill sets and/or tasks. The group operates in an “open source” manner wherein activities and information are made available for review, comment, and positive collaboration. The intent is to provide both framework and processes to help design, build, and test potential ZPE devices. When successful, the group hopes to have produced one or more vetted (qualified, verified), over-unity devices along with complete documentation for others to replicate, improve, and promulgate.
The ZPE Project is independent of, and has no formal ties to, any other potentially related groups. However, the ZPE Project will cooperate and coordinate with any other groups who share the same vision and open-source philosophy.
Energy Sources
The lack of a universally available, inexpensive, reliable, and non-polluting energy source is potentially an end-stage problem for sustaining life on earth. Since its adoption over a century ago, electricity has been the main source of energy driving human modernization and advancement. However, to date the costs, inefficiencies, and means of production of electricity are limited and environmentally damaging. There has not been significant progress in the technology that produces and distributes electricity since its inception.
To date, almost all energy sources (approximately 80%) world-wide are centered on creating electricity. And that, for the most part, requires the burning and scrubbing of fossil fuels: coal, oil, and gas. When mined and burned, fossil fuels are a key source of CO2 emissions, acid rain gases, and the frequent pollution of land and water. Current attempts to circumvent the use of fossil fuels also create serious pollutants that will have a long-term negative impact on the environment: nuclear waste, warming of water bodies used for cooling, destruction of natural habitats while mining minerals, and landfill waste of fiberglass turbine blades, spent solar panels, and batteries.
In the US alone, revenues from fossil fuel production ($140 billion/year), electricity utilities ($425 billion), electricians ($242 billion), etc. are clearly significant and continue to motivate the status quo.
Any move away from the entrenched production of electricity, across all international boundaries, will be exceedingly “disruptive.” and therefore could be chaotic if not managed through open communication and open-source technical development. Large scale ZPE power generation, as well as the use of individual ZPE powered devices, can replace the current electrical power infrastructure over a short time period relative to the time traditional power has been in place. Availability of ZPE-based power solutions will also spur the creation of new international markets, businesses and opportunities in both developed and developing countries.
