Review

". . .a fascinating journey via the real experiences of scientists and inventors. . .the world from where the next energy revolution will emerge. No doubt Breakthrough Power will be required reading in schools and universities as soon as one of these energy inventions reaches the market." --Thomas Valone, Ph.D., author of The Future of Energy: An Emerging Science

". . .a much-needed, accessibly written update on the past, present and future of new energy technologies. Manning and Garbon illustrate how each of us can become a part of the 'new energy movement.'" --Christy L. Frazier, Managing Editor, Infinite Energy Magazine

5.0 out of 5 stars Should become the flagship public education tool for the movement, November 18, 2008

By 

Sterling Allan "free energy now" (Eagle Mountain, UT USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Breakthrough Power: How Quantum-leap New Energy Inventions Can Transform Our World (Paperback)

This landmark book by two of my close and trusted friends and associates, Jeane Manning and Joel Garbon, can become a primary vehicle of new energy understanding and promotion. In addition to providing a great primer for newcomers to the field, it can help the well-seasoned veteran round out his knowledge of some of the most important historic yet-to-emerge, proven technologies in the field. It's not just educational, but it is a call to action to galvanize the public into awareness of these breakthrough technologies and to instill in them a cry to bring down the barriers that have hitherto kept these game-changing technologies from making it to market. We're talking about technologies that can be primary power producers, 24/7/365, portable, scalable, safe, and not only do no harm to the environment, but can help clean it up -- with a price tag that is far below what conventional energy technologies provide.

This review is from: Breakthrough Power: How Quantum-leap New Energy Inventions Can Transform Our World (Paperback)

This book could very well be given the above title, at least as far as non-polluting, renewable energy sources are concerned. The picture it presents of the scientific community, as regards openness to novel ideas and concepts, is far from being a pretty one. In spite of that, the overall message of the book is one of positive outcomes and ultimate hope. If we change our collective consumerist habits and open ourselves to a more inclusive awareness, that is.

This book has been meticulously researched. The main aim of the authors' is to highlight the fact that several renewable sources of energy already abound and that there are many people who have already created the technology to tap into them. However, in recounting their stories, it clearly appears that a major reason for these efforts having been kept unknown from the public at large, is, the insurmountable opposition created by high priests of scientific institutions and their corporate partners in industry. Together, the latter named have succeeded in suppressing and strangulating all individual endeavours to finding solutions to our energy problems, aiming instead, to protect their own financial vested interests.

Most of the people whose innovations find mention in this book, are renegades, individualists with few resources and many ideas. The areas in which their expertise have come forth, (at least as far as this book is concerned), are primarily perpetual motion magnetic motors, whose energy sources are not clearly understood scientifically, and have not been studied or formulated in detail. A few have learnt to harness the energy of the vacuum, or what they call, zero point energy. Others use high powered magnets, using the intrinsic nature of the magnet, to power household devices. A few others use water electrolysis, the fuel being hydrogen which recombines in the engines to form water, releasing usable energy. The authors also mention a number of cases where cold fusion has been reported (I remember one of them myself, in 1989, as the news created quite a stir in the media at the time, before the interest died down). In any case, instead of initiating a wider study to understand the principles involved that run these devices, the inherent weakness, of using principles not clearly understood, is used by scientific-corporate cartels in the establishment to degrade and depreciate the work of newcomers who do not 'belong'. Desperately needed funding is stopped, their work is belittled and ridiculed, in many cases, their persona attacked and in some cases, their property burnt down and destroyed and the scientists themselves, driven to suicide.

The authors conclude with a last chapter on what the involved individual can accomplish with a judicious use of his/her power of choice in order to solve his/her energy requirements in the backdrop of a changing world scenario and an uncertain future. The conclusions drawn are surprisingly positive, while also being reasonable and convincing (at least to me). The list of references and extra material is also quite exhaustive.

I strongly recommend this book, if only to reveal a side of science institutions that is completely opposed to the 'scientific method' that they so effectively use to boost their credibility and preserve their dominant status. It is this very mindset that has encouraged the plethora of science books under the heading of "Lost Science" today, legitimate ideas, that have been "lost", ideas which have nothing to do with mysticism, but which have been constrained to carry that label, and therefore made out to be an object of derision by irresponsible heads of prestige institutions. Fortunately, the Internet has played a positive part in this process, by allowing access to these "lost" ideas to the public at large, bypassing those pathways (primarily research journals) where established prejudices maintain a stranglehold. This book could well have been typecast in the 'mystical' category, when in reality, it is nothing of the kind.

Well done Jeane Manning and Joel Garbon!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for exploring the new energy pioneers & a Call to Action, December 4, 2008

By

This review is from: Breakthrough Power: How Quantum-leap New Energy Inventions Can Transform Our World (Paperback)

This is an outstanding compilation & presentation of the WIDE variety of future energy sources, enhancements, & alternatives for freeing ourselves & all the people of Earth from the tyrany of power controlled by the powerful.

Very well referenced! Multi resources for digging deeper into &/or following the action of these pioneers & those trying, & starting to, help them to their "coming out party". Ms.Mannings thoughtful, logical, & unbiased former-reporter style & structure don't sweep the reader off into emotional connections with these guys. Instead she combines with co-author Joel's expertise, the straight info & certainly the un-pretty, slightly scary & angry-making revelations. And more importantly, her socialogist's background leads to some interesting & important calls to action from a broad base of citizens-consumers. As she encourages & starts defining, we MUST start acting on many of the issues & blockages... yesterday.

Not a book for a casual read or one that will hold U spellbound thru half the book at one reading. It IS a book that delivers the news & history of these potential breakthroughs & the people, remarkable power pioneers & mavericks, that have led the way over the past centuries. It's also a guidebook to get ourselves into gear to support those currently struggling to get the truth out & made practical.

Looking forward to buying & giving a BUNCH of this book to friends, family, collogues, clients!! It's a GREAT starting point.

Thank you Jeane & Joel. Happy Holidays
