Looking forward, Part Two

To 'New Energy'

Moray King, Utah-based author of Water: the Key to New Energy and other books about “zero-point energy,” expects more technical breakthroughs in this field in 2026.

King began researching the field more than 40 years ago. He knows more than most about a history of suppressed inventions.

He expresses the view that spiritual breakthroughs are key to overcoming barriers. (I too see that as an immense reality—the importance of level-of-consciousness when dealing with advanced technology, and the uplifting influence of individuals’ personal transformations.)

As an engineer, King especially wants to spread the technical-awareness aspect into the scientific community.

This year he’s still looking for a simple, easily repeatable experiment that the hands-on builders whom he calls ‘hobbyists’ could make. to prove that zero-point energy can be tapped to do work.

‘Keep an eye on the MFMP’

I reminded him to keep an eye on the Martin Fleischmann Memorial Project (MFMP) via Remote View substack. Moray King has already met MFMP volunteer Bob Greenyer. King was impressed by progress made, but hadn’t followed all of the videos with experiments being replicated by MFMP and its global community.

If I can be certain about any aspect of this year, it’s that we’ll hear further good news from the MFMP. Probably more breakthroughs in understanding principles of how to work in harmony with nature’s favored motions. It’s likely we’ll see energy-converting products approaching closer to marketplaces.

Looking forward to Saturday

Greenyer’s long-time colleague in eastern Europe, Dr. George Egely, will be second of four speakers on the January 17, 2026, Alternative Propulsion Engineering Conference (APEC.)

APEC is a twice-monthly online forum founded and moderated by Tim Ventura. You can get on the mailing list by registering online.

The free event starts at noon PST, and Dr. Egely’s presentation is scheduled for 1 pm. He’ll cover practical LENR (often called cold fusion) for experimenters “while mapping the field’s open questions, persistent pitfalls, and the near-term experiments most likely to move LENR from intriguing anomalies to defensible engineering.”

ESTC returns June 24-28, 2026

Ticket sales open this weekend for the 13th annual Energy Science & Technology Conference. “This one may be the most important yet,” wrote Aaron Murakami.

Its five days in June will include more than 21 presentations, including live demonstrations. Also at ESTC, a two-phase AC motor allegedly built by Nikola Tesla will be on public display for the first time. Its history links to one of Tesla’s patents.

Due to limited seating area in the building, only 55 people can attend ESTC in person. Another option is to subscribe to live streaming.

ESTC 2026 is the same weekend that the world’s largest 3-on-3 basketball tournament will also be in the city of Spokane WA, USA. So hotels are filling!

Xtreme Science Foundation plan lives on

Vlad Plesa is a now-retired power engineer in the Vancouver area. When we were organizing New Energy Movement Canada’s public meetings around 2006-9, he was a longtime employee of BC Hydro corporation. (And he managed to get a subscription to Infinite Energy magazine into that utility company’s library.)

Back in 2001, Vlad started a news site dedicated to experimental, revolutionary new energy technologies, focusing on research tapping the zero-point field (a.k.a. vacuum energy.)

I’ve long been impressed by Vlad Plesa’s thoroughly planned proposal for an Xtreme Science Foundation, with its goal of speeding a game-changing, safe and well-vetted energy invention toward us, the people.

Vlad always said he’s not the personality to launch the project, but his unique concepts are available for some higher-profile person who can rally volunteers and promote a non-profit effectively.

Details about the proposed foundation are still available on ZPEnergy.com, by clicking the lower-right popping stars under the ‘XSF/XS-NRG Prize’ header.

‘If everyone has their own power plant…’

Dr. James W. (Jim) Morrow in Iowa also has been researching “free energy” for many years — earnestly since 2005 when he retired from telecom work. He’s studied hundreds of “free energy” devices and reportedly has successfully duplicated several.

He believes we’re in an Æther Apocalypse (see image above.) He expects it will restore the “Lost Science of Æther” and remediate damage caused by a century of lost progress.

Recently, he told me he’s also verified the late John Bedini’s ‘Energizer’ which charged batteries without needing electrical current. He said the Energizer instead used a different kind of power–what Nikola Tesla called ‘Radiant Energy.”

Dr. Jim Morrow: “I’m working to incorporate that process via solid state—rather than Bedini’s monopole magnetic motor/mechanical oscillator—into what I call the Real Benitez.”

Carlos Benitez was a Mexican civil engineer who patented a self-charging battery system. Benitez’ British patents of around 1915 claimed that the extra energy could be harvested from what Tesla and others called “the local environment”—aka Æther—via the principle Tesla discovered, using high frequency, high voltage, unidirectional pulses.

Morrow describes the technology’s potential as “end o’ grid.”

“If everyone has their own power plant, then no need for an electric grid to bring power from a coal, gas, or nuclear power plant. No ugly wires on poles. No unsightly substations that are so vulnerable to terrorism or solar CME (Coronal Mass Ejection) that can destroy the multi-ton transformers that take months to build.”
