The Vacuum Triode Amplifier (VTA)
invented by Floyd Sweet consists of two ferrite magnets and two to four coreless
wire coils. It is self-powered in the preferred configuration and produces in excess
of one KW of 120 VRMS 60 HZ power in the form of energy that resembles electricity.
This energy is referred to as negative energy. The VTA development history, its
anti-gravity characteristics, negative energy properties, and some of the personalities
involved are discussed.
This is a story of Floyd Sweet's trials
and tribulations involving a mystery wrapped in an enigma. God revealed to Floyd
sufficient information to build a machine to provide energy that resembles electricity.
However, God did not provide solutions to the frustrating string of problems that
would surface in converting the idea into a working device. There are several people
in this story that have provided help and some who have hindered.
When Tom Bearden met Floyd, the device
Floyd had developed was producing a few watts of alternating current at 28 volts.
Tom saw in Floyd's device the physical embodiment of a principle he had theorized
many years before. Tom had never designed or constructed a physical device
to access this elusive energy source.
Tom's name for the extraction process
is 'Four Wave Phase Conjugate Mixing'. The energy source is the intense non-cohered
energy that is thought to be present everywhere in the universe. Various researchers
through the years have given this energy different names, such as "Zero Point
Energy", "Gravity Field Energy", "Radiant Energy", and
others.
Tom Bearden gave Floyd's device the
name "Vacuum Triode Amplifier" or VTA. The machine provides a small amount
of its output fed back to the equivalent of a grid which gates or coheres a large
amount of energy which appears at the device output terminal as something that resembles
electricity! Negative Electricity.
This energy can be utilized by devices
designed to convert electricity to light, heat, or mechanical work or anything else
for which normal electricity is used. The properties of this energy, although superficially
resembling the 120 VRMS 60 HZ power we normally use, are unique and sufficiently
different from conventional electricity, so that it should be classified as an entirely
new energy form. It will require careful extended study by a wide range of people
in order to document its properties in the manner scientists have done with conventional
electricity.
Tom Bearden refers to this energy
as negative energy, and he states that negative time must be utilized. In negative
time according to Bearden, gravity is a repulsive force.
Floyd's experiments demonstrated that
the VTA loses weight in proportion to the amount of generated "Negative Energy".
This was carefully documented by Floyd on a kitchen scale. The machine weight was
observed decreasing with increased load in a quite orderly fashion until a point
was suddenly reached when Floyd heard an immense sound, as if he were at the center
of a giant whirlwind but without actual air movement. The sound was heard by his
wife Rose in another room of their apartment and was heard by others outside the
apartment. The experience was very frightening and the experiment has not
been repeated.
Some observers of the light emanating
from ordinary 120 volt 100 watt incandescent bulbs powered by the VTA claim the
light is different, softer than normal incandescent light. The VTA magnets and coils
when powering loads of over a kilowatt become cold and temperatures of 20 degrees
F below ambient have been observed. Similar reports of below ambient temperature
of energy machine components have been reported by other inventors, such as John
Bedini and John R.R. Searl.
When the VTA output wires had been
accidentally shorted, first an extremely brilliant flash occurred. When the wires
involved were examined shortly afterward, they were found covered with frost. Unfortunately
this also caused the VTA magnet to fracture and the machine ceased operating. In
one instance the machine operation ceased during a local earthquake. The physical
shacking was not believed to be sufficiently severe to disrupt the machine magnet/coil
relative placement or physical shock to the magnet such as a hammer blow might impart.
The best speculation is that the machine was affected by the intense electromagnetic
pulse known to originate from earthquakes.
Conventional instruments used to measure
volts, amps, or watts appear to correlate machine output as coupled to loads, but
only up to approximately 1 KW; above that value they may indicate zero or some other
value not related to the known actual load.
Floyd's attempts to use conventional
electrical design formulas relating number of coil turns, amp turns on drive coils,
and any other parameter to predict observed outputs have all resulted in failures
with calculations. Empirical formulas based on actual tests have been documented.
Observation of machine output voltage
of approximately 120 VRMS while the load was changed in 100 watt increments from
100 watts to 1000 watts has shown no observable output voltage change, which suggests
an extremely low internal equivalent impedance. The 20 gauge magnet wire in the
output coils consisting of several hundred turns has significant DC resistance which
is not correlated with the unvarying output terminal voltage at different loads.
It is speculated that this energy does not travel within the copper wire or its
passage through the copper wire does not generate a voltage drop --- a most useful
feature when transferring energy from one place to another.
One frustrating aspect of the VTA
has been its failures, evidenced by the output voltage slowly decaying to zero over
a few seconds or minutes. There also have been spontaneous instances of the voltage
rising above 120 VRMS as observed by the increased lamp load bank brightness. The
volt meters, ammeter, and power meter did not correlate with the brightness change
except when the machine would the fail to produce any power.
Many times the VTA was normally left
on powering a lamp load bank 24 hours a day. During a period of time when it appeared
to be functioning properly all day long, Floyd got up at 3:00 AM to go to the bathroom.
As he walked past the room where the VTA was located, he noticed that the lights
appeared dim. He measured the voltage at 70 VRMS. Being tired at the moment, he
returned to bed. The next morning when he rose, the voltage was back to the
normal 120 VRMS and stayed there all day. The next night Floyd got up at 4:30 AM.
The voltage was measured at 85 VRMS. Floyd returned to bed. The voltage was normal
the entire next day.
A possible clue to this anomaly has
appeared in an article by E.W. Silvertooth titled 'Motion Through The Ether' where
Silver tooth describes a dual path laser interferometer experiment that conclusively
demonstrated the presence of an ether that flows through our portion of the universe
at greater than the speed of light with its vector in the direction of the constellation
Leo. Floyd's VTA may be orientation sensitive to this ether velocity vector.
The VTA consists of two 4" X
6" X .5" grade 5 or grade 8 ferrite magnets spaced 3 inches apart in the
attractive orientation, with the output and drive coils in between. The output coils
are wound with 20 gage magnet wire. Their axis is parallel to the magnetic lines
of force between the two magnets. The two drive (or excitation) coil axes are positioned
at 90 degrees to the output coil axis. The VTA excitation coils may be driven by
the VTA output voltage or a separate sinewave oscillator source.
The "Secret" to the machine
is the process that "conditions" the magnets. This conditioning process
determines the output frequency and also prepares the machine for operation.
The same machine could be just as well "told" to output 50 HZ or 400
HZ. The conditioning technique is so novel, it is doubtful anyone would ever guess
how it is done.
Oscilloscope observation of the VTA
output voltage waveform shows an apparently perfect sinewave that is not phase locked
to the local 60 HZ powerline voltage.
The VTA can be started by momentary
connection of a 9-volt battery to the drive coils when the machine is operated in
the self-powered mode. The operation is stopped by momentary interruption of power
to the power coils.
The VTA "likes" to always
see a minimum load of 25 watts.
Electrical shock to humans from the
VTA may be more damaging than contact with a 120 VRMS 60 HZ conventional powerline
voltage. Floyd has accidentally had VTA current pass from his thumb to his
smallest finger. It appears to freeze the flesh and was extremely painful for at
least two weeks.
The mechanism by which negative energy
makes copper conductors cold but will also heat light bulb filaments is not understood.
Tom Bearden has coined the term "Gravito-Striction" for this process and
has described how he believes it works.
On the human side of the VTA development,
some incidents are worth telling. Two people from Australia, who claimed they wanted
to help Floyd, stole his notebook and promptly asked John Bedini for help in replicating
the VTA based on the notebook contents. John recognized the notebook as belonging
to Floyd and promptly asked them to leave. However, the notebook was never recovered.
Floyd has received many death threats
over the phone, and some threats face to face. A well dressed gentleman in an expensive
suit, tie, hat, and hundred dollar shoes approached Floyd on the sidewalk of the
street where he lives and introduced himself as Cecil Brown. He showed him a picture
of Floyd inside his apartment. Cecil then told him that he represented a conglomerate
that did not want Floyd's device to appear in the world at this time. He further
stated that sometimes unfortunate things happen to people who do not comply with
the wishes of others. He then retrieved the picture and departed. Incidences like
this do impart significant concern in Floyd's mind!
One real unsung hero of the human
side of this story is Al Margolin, who for many years has provided test equipment,
fabrication help, and transportation for Floyd and Rose whenever needed, and it
was needed many times.
Floyd's long time friend and former
employer Bill Lawry has provided living and project expenses and fabrication help
when needed.
The reliable conditioning of the magnets
in a manner that assures long time operation is the Achilles heel of this device.
With the help of enough of the right people this device may change our world and
open a new field of physics! This adventure of course is an on going and the final
goal of powering the world with the VTA is still a long ways off.
I just want to underline the paragraph:
The VTA can be started
by momentary connection of a 9-volt battery to the drive coils when the machine
is operated in the self-powered mode. The operation is stopped by momentary interruption
of power to the power coils.
The VTA "likes" to
always see a minimum load of 25 watts. "
Now this information begs some serious questions.
How could the Magnets if they were conditioned and had permanently moving flux possibly
be stopped by the momentary interruption of power to the power coils? Or even started
by a 9volt battery. I do believe the above information to be true. I believe that
the MEANING of the conditioning has been miss understood and the conditioning is,
like I said in my last update, the "Starting of the SQM/VTA". The SQM/VTA
must be assembled and complete to be able to sustain itself. A signal of 60Hz can
be used to start the SQM/VTA or 400Hz like what has been said in the past documents.
In all my research there is one thing I did find out
and it has been cleared up for me. The Notebook mentioned above. Some of the people
funding Floyd were sceptical of the SQM/VTA at the time and wanted proof of concept
and the Notebook was taken for reproduction of the SQM/VTA by another researcher
at the time to replicate the SQM/VTA. I have been told the Notebook was returned
to the people who supplied the notebook, being Floyds Funders. I have emitted names
and locations but Australia was not involved in the Notebook incident at all. I
know at least one person (Funding Floyd Sweet at the time (1984-1986)) must have
some seriously good information on the SQM/VTA and living in the United States with
this information would be a matter of National Security? Would it not... Maybe Human
Survival is a bit more important?
So download my pages and share them, share this to
everyone and do not forget it. This technology must not be patented and stopped
from becoming public domain. It is not about the money, yeah I have heard that before...
Well more coming soon as always.
