Bearden’s thesis rests on the idea that space is not empty but is a dense sea of energy—the —which interacts with matter.
: Bearden distinguishes between the tiny fraction of energy intercepted by a circuit's wires (the Poynting component ) and the massive, non-intercepted energy flow (the Heaviside component ) that misses the circuit and is wasted. Electromagnetic Energy from the Vacuum - The To...
: In his model, batteries and generators do not furnish energy to a circuit. Instead, they use their internal energy to separate charges and form a source dipole . Once formed, this dipole "breaks the symmetry" of the vacuum, causing it to pour out a giant flow of electromagnetic energy into the surrounding space. Bearden’s thesis rests on the idea that space
: He argues that by "asymmetrically regauging" a system, one can increase the potential energy without performing work, theoretically allowing for "over-unity" devices (systems with a Coefficient of Performance greater than 1.0). The Motionless Electromagnetic Generator (MEG) Instead, they use their internal energy to separate
