Great book! I've researched "free energy" for more than 22 years myself and this was the 1st book I could give to friends to explain the whole scene to them. It gives the history, like Tesla, Moray, Reich, Schauberger, and it shows you how big (and growing fast) the New Energy field is today. It also gives enough information for the researcher to direct his or her interests to the inventor that they wish to focus and further their attention on. This would save the researcher alot of time, as Jeane Manning has done all of the foot work for you in this book.

Manning's book is an assiduous review of exciting new energy technology. Unfortunately, Manning is a sociologist, not a hard scientist, and she is way out of her element trying to comprehend and explain the work of new energy inventors. As a result, the book leaves far more unanswered than answered. She needed a physicist as a co-author. Still, worth reading to grasp the scope and promise of new energy technologies; but the scientifically knowledgeable reader will want far more than it delivers.

The author has searched out a lot of obscure persons doing research which, if successful could turn the golbal economy upside down, and change life on earth. She does not, however, follow up on the latest status of the inventions, or follow the logical next question about why none of these devices are ever tested or shown publicly. Although interesting, the book is very light on technology details and investigative initiative.

If I could give more then 5 stars I would. I loved this book. All those other people who gave this book less then 5 stars are crazy!! What planet are you from?? Cause here on Mars this book is a great hit. I just wanted all you Earthlings to know that!

Now nearly two years old, Jeane Manning's book still stands as the best introduction to the New Energy Technology field, with an excellent resource section at the back for those that want to develop their interests further and get involved.

If only a tiny fraction of this work is true, what is the environmental movement doing about to support New Energy?

Advanced renewable energies, water powered cars, the inside story on the cold fusion cover-up; all written in a simple straightforward fashion. Amazing!

You could give this to book to your mother or a complete novice and they would come away knowing more than most PhDs do about the future of energy and hopefully inspired to do something about it.

The questions is not if this is a good book or not but why is nothing being said in the press or done to promote these incredibly important developments? A great present for every science or engineering orientated teenager too. Inspiring stuff.

If you're looking for one book to quickly familiarize yourself with the topic, something written for the lay-man, someone who hasn't dabbled in the subject for many years yet, this is the one. Jeane Manning's book is an impartial text, written from a professional journalistic point of view, of some of the inventors and companies who today beleive that energy can be tapped from the vaccum under certain configurations and circumstances. Unlike other more "new age" titles on the subject, and "perpetual motion" fringe sources of the past, this tome relates the research in clear non-spiritual terms which can be applied to any electronics and engineering course. The resource directory compiled at the end of the book can put you in touch with all the major players in the field to track down more technical newsletters and websites.

When I found this book, I thought that I had found a scientifically-based book about zero-point energy. Oh how wrong I was. Jeane Manning gives us absolutely no reason to believe that zero-point energy can be tapped, yet assumes it can.

In Chapter Eight, page 97, which is about cold fusion, Manning writes: "Cold-fusion proponents cannot prove that the reaction which follows the absorption is a nuclear reaction. Thus, most conventional scientists reject the whole idea of cold fusion". However, Manning gives no reason for believing that fusion is occuring and continues to simply assume that it is. That is not science, that is faith.

Also, some of the support that zero-point energy exists is an argument that it is heating our planet, like in a microwave, which causes magma and so forth. This is completely false. The interior of the earth is molten because radioactive elements decay inside the earth and heat it up. A two minute search on Wikipedia found me that information, and Manning doesn't mention anything about it.

If you want a real book on zero-point energy, look elsewhere because this is not it.

Great book. I just want to comment on "The Dirt Cheap Energy Converter", page 67, which is capable of generating 6 watts of electricity overunity. It appears that he developed something similiar to "Microtube Array" patent WO/2010/035035 in his energy converter. In effect, I believe that he doped his Barium Titanate to create Jahn-Teller distortion (see wiki) which results in a lower electrostatic repulsion within the atoms with maganese doping. This would allows doped atoms more freedom to oscillate and may contribute to fractoemission. The pours could be filled with material that creates the Casimir Effect. The book mentions that it was based upon Teslas Resonance Principle (page 67) with no explanation. I would like to add that it was based upon Teslas patent 685,957 and 685,958. It can be wound so that during OFF pulse, primary also collapses and secondary directs that into the chokes also in the forward direction. For each time you pay for ONE pulse into the system in this arrangement, you get TWO pulses to the capacitor.

It makes me wonder if the negative reviews shown here are planted by those suppressing free energy technologies! Ms. Manning's book is well researched and has an extensive bibliography of references. It was very informative and well written. It's a shame that publishers like Penguin are actually suppressing her books, as well, by taking them out of print. Must be that the "powers that be" don't want this world-changing information out there?? Thanks for your courage, Jeanne, in bringing this important information to light.

Jean Manning has done a brilliant job in authoring the Coming Energy Revolution. She has bought together the research of scholars and inventors from around the world in this one book. There is so much information in this book that it is a must have as a reference book of any serious researcher.

Owning this book will save countless hours digging for information. With this book you will have a wealth of information at your fingertips! Thank you Jean Manning for writing this book!
