Free energy suppression is a conspiracy theory which holds that, historically, workable free energy technology exists today, as well as the assertions that technology exists that can provide energy at reduced cost to consumers, reduce pollution levels, or increase energy/fuel efficiency, but is being suppressed by special interest groups. A conspiracy theory attributes the ultimate cause of an event or chain of events (usually Political, Social or Historical events or the concealment Free energy may refer to In science: Thermodynamic free energy, the energy in a physical system that can be converted to do work in particular An interest group (also advocacy group, lobby group, pressure group or special interest group) is an organized collection of people who seek

Many free energy claims, such as cold fusion or extracting zero point energy, are demonstrably impossible under modern science. Cold fusion, sometimes called low energy nuclear reactions (LENR or condensed matter nuclear science, is a set of effects reported in controversial laboratory experiments In Physics, the zero-point energy is the lowest possible Energy that a Quantum mechanical Physical system may possess and is the energy of the Conspiracy advocates therefore claim that the scientific community has controlled and suppressed research into alternative avenues of energy production via the institutions of peer review. Peer review (also known as refereeing) is the process of subjecting an author's scholarly work research or Ideas to the scrutiny of others who are Other claimed means of suppression include buying the patent of the free energy device from the inventor or his family, suing the inventor or patent holder, or even assassination. A patent is a set of Exclusive rights granted by a State to an inventor or his assignee for a fixed period of time in exchange for a disclosure of an AssassiNation is the sixth album by Krisiun, released in 2006 on Century Media.

In addition, some claim that perpetual motion machines or other devices capable of extracting significant and usable power from pre-existing energy reservoirs for little or no cost exist but are being suppressed^[1][2][3][4] by governments and special interest groups (such as the oil/petroleum industry),^[5] and that suppression has been going on for some time. The term perpetual motion, taken literally refers to movement that goes on forever For the government of parliamentary systems see Executive (government.

According to energy suppression conspiracy advocates, the main motive behind this is the preservation of the economic status quo and sustained increase of fuel prices. Variations on the energy suppression conspiracy state that free energy cannot be allowed in a capitalist system because it would break down if it was introduced. Capitalism is the Economic system in which the Means of production are owned by private Persons and operated for Profit and where

Only small parts of evidence have ever been presented for free energy suppression, and the basic premises of the theory are flawed according to mainstream physics. Physics (Greek Physis - φύσις in everyday terms is the Science of Matter and its motion.

History

Proponents of this conspiracy theory claim certain renewable technologies (such as solar cells)^[7] and other efficient technologies, capable of tapping into reserves of energy, that could provide energy at reduced cost to consumers, reduce pollution levels, or increase energy/fuel efficiency, exist, but are being suppressed^[8] by governments^[9] and special interest groups^[10] (such as the oil/petroleum industry)^[11] and that suppression has been going on for some time. A conspiracy theory attributes the ultimate cause of an event or chain of events (usually Political, Social or Historical events or the concealment A solar cell or photovoltaic cell is a device that converts Solar energy into Electricity by the photovoltaic effect. For the government of parliamentary systems see Executive (government. An interest group (also advocacy group, lobby group, pressure group or special interest group) is an organized collection of people who seek ^[12] According to the energy suppression conspiracy, the main motive behind this is the preservation of the economic status quo and sustained increase of fuel prices. Peter Lindemann has stated that an "energy revolution" could occur, but “[. . . ] unless something really changes on the social or political or economic level, the technology is irrelevant; it will not be allowed to happen. ”^[13][14]

In the 1930s, Thomas Henry Moray reported that he and his family had been threatened and shot at on several occasions and his lab ransacked to stop his free energy research and public demonstrations. Thomas Henry Moray ( August 28, 1892 - May 1974 was an Inventor from Salt Lake City Utah. The 1975 book The Sun Betrayed claimed solar energy production was being suppressed by the U. Year 1975 ( MCMLXXV) was a Common year starting on Wednesday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. S. governmental bureau allocated to help its development. ^[15]

It has been stated that the scientific community has also further controlled research into alternative avenues of energy production via the institutions of peer review,

It is then alleged that some politicians may use this system to further vested interests and divert funding into conventional non-renewable sources. ^[17] The allegation exists that alternative and free energy research is labeled by various conspirators in the review systems as pseudo-scientific, or unrealistic, and suppressed. Pseudoscience is defined as a body of knowledge methodology belief or practice that is claimed to be Scientific or made to appear scientific but does not adhere to the There are various other factors which can prevent funding of some alternative energy development, such as "time and information" and capital costs. ^[18] Groups behind "the conspiracy" have been said to include various national governments, international automakers, and the petroleum industry.

The spread of working free-energy technologies has been prevented by wealthy elites governments, deluded inventors and con men, as well as a non-demanding public. Nexus is a bi-monthly alternative news magazine It covers Geopolitics and conspiracy theories; health issues including Alternative medicine ^[19]

Researchers in the field of cold fusion have been claimed to be subjected to suppression via academic pressure as well as via lack of funding.

Theory analysis

The standard rebuttal to the theory is that these devices are absent in the market because they do not work. In the case of such concepts as perpetual motion or extracting zero point energy, basic physical laws (such as the first and second laws of thermodynamics) dictate that they cannot work. The term perpetual motion, taken literally refers to movement that goes on forever In Physics, the zero-point energy is the lowest possible Energy that a Quantum mechanical Physical system may possess and is the energy of the In Thermodynamics, the first law of thermodynamics is an expression of the more universal physical law of the Conservation of energy. The second law of Thermodynamics is an expression of the universal law of increasing Entropy, stating that the entropy of an Isolated system which

With respect to physically possible technology being suppressed, economic arguments hold. Various energy commodities are in some form of competition in the market place, with oil, coal, and natural gas in competition with known renewable energy methods. Any truly effective free energy technology would provide vastly more benefit if widely employed than if kept secret.

The American TV show MythBusters has examined some claimed free energy sources. MythBusters is a Popular science Television program produced by Australian firm Beyond Television Productions originally for the All of the tried methods failed. ^[21] Several other reports have been exposed as hoaxes and scams. ^{[22][23][24][25]} Conspiracy advocates claim these represent attempted suppression. However, governments have not imprisoned individuals for research concerning solar cells, windmills, and geothermal energy production, nor have they closed down research centers investigating such topics. A windmill is a machine that is powered by the energy of the wind Geothermal power (from the Greek roots geo, meaning earth and therme, meaning heat is energy generated by heat stored in the earth or the collection Energy development is the ongoing effort to provide sufficient Primary energy sources and secondary Energy forms to meet civilization's needs The United States government, the European Union and the Japanese have invested some amount of resources in developing alternative sources of energy, typically with the goal of gaining energy independence and a competitive market edge. A marketing strategy is a process that can allow an organization to concentrate its limited resources on the greatest opportunities to increase sales and achieve a sustainable competitive

The usual claimed justification for alleged suppression is to maintain the current economic system. But from an economics perspective, the existence of free goods contradicts the idea that free or very cheap energy would destroy a market economy. The free good is a term used in Economics to describe a good that is not scarce. Air and water, necessary raw materials in many processes, are available to anyone at no cost except transport and storage. Furthermore, if energy were in fact free, then there would still be charges for costs of delivering that energy to the end user in conventional transmission lines. Electric power transmission, a process in the delivery of Electricity to consumers is the bulk transfer of electrical power In many parts of the world, water is free in the sense that anyone can pull it out of a river; purifying and delivering it, however, has profit potential. Moreover, according to established economic theories, significantly lowered energy costs would result in increased economic growth, since the costs of producing goods and services would drop. "Free energy" would produce a fast growing economy and enable huge economic growth. Increased economic growth from lowered energy costs has occurred before: raw material and resource commodities (notably coal, aluminum, textiles, and labor) dropped in price as a consequence of the industrial revolution. The Industrial Revolution was a period in the late 18th and early 19th centuries when major changes in agriculture manufacturing and transportation had a profound effect on the Generally, when a resource becomes cheap, other economic sectors absorb the loss, or new demands will be created.

Between 2001 and 2002, Gary McKinnon carried out what has been described as being the "biggest ever military computer hack" in history^[26] when he gained access to 97 computer systems belonging to the US military and other government bodies, claiming to have seen designs for free energy devices (specifically, zero-point energy devices), and other potentially beneficial technologies. Gary McKinnon, also known as Solo (born in Glasgow in 1966 is a British hacker facing Extradition to the United States In Physics, the zero-point energy is the lowest possible Energy that a Quantum mechanical Physical system may possess and is the energy of the ^[27] No evidence for his claims has been provided.
