Yet the proponents of Free Energy believe it is possible and the benefits are vast. The debate rages, does free energy exist or not. And if so would capturing and utilizing the energy be cost effective. Is the energy truly efficient and endless.

Although the idea of Free Energy may bring up an image of the perpetual motion machine in your mind, this is quite different. For some researches it has to do with the collection device needed to capture the energy. While for others it refers to the means of transmitting the energy source.

Although none believe this is a perpetual energy machine, its implications are the next best thing. Unlimited energy that is clean and safe.

Capturing the energy floating in outer space may seem impossible today, yet what about tomorrow. It was not long ago airplanes and atomic energy were thought crazy unattainable ideas.

The largest group of proponents claim this free energy can be attained in large amounts from the Zero Point Field. In simple terms this is a quantum mechanical state of matter (if that is simple) that is at it's lowest possible energy state.

Otto Stern and Albert Einstein first suggested its use as an alternative form of energy in 1913 and called it residual energy.

In quantum mechanics vacuum energy represents Free Energy. It is said to be the energy field found in totally empty space. Trying to describe it one proponent said it resembles the froth created by a waterfall hitting the bottom.

The whole idea is rather interesting. Although we can not expect are electric bills to be disappearing at any time soon, the possibility still remains that other alternative forms of energy may become available in the future.

Many articles on different forms of alternative energy can be found at discoveralternativeenergy.info. A better educated public is our best weapon against the pollution of our planet.
