-Caveat Lector- a friend at the Alternative Energy Institute, Inc. 1999 INE SYMPOSIUM REVIEW http://www.altenergy.org/ine-99/INE/ine.html Dave Hartley http://www.Asheville-Computer.com http://www.ioa.com/~davehart -----Original Message----- From: Dan Sewell Ward [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Alternative Energy Institute, Inc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- http://www.altenergy.org/ine-99/Dr__Dan_Ward_/dr__dan_ward_.html Dr. Dan Ward Dr. Dan Sewell Ward is not your typical buttoned-down physicist. Although he holds a Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics from the University of Texas at Austin, as well as a Bachelor of Engineering Science from the same institution, his interest in esoteric knowledge has led him to study zero point energy, cold fusion, sacred geometry, ancient history, hyper-dimensional physics, and even the enigma of crop circles. Dr. Ward has authored more than 120 technical and semi-technical articles in a variety of scientific journals, magazines and conference proceedings, and has been conducting research in diverse scientific disciplines for more than thirty years. Among his interests are nuclear and elementary particle physics, the science, economics and politics of alternative energy systems, and the potential of solar energy. In fact, when he was Associate Director of the Solar Energy Applications Laboratory and manager for the National Science Foundation, Dr. Ward secured major funding grants for three experimental solar houses, one of which is the world's first solar heated and solar cooled home. Dr. Ward has embraced this idea of science moored in shifting sand and his innovative thinking frequently pushes the boundaries of conventional thought. During his tenure as an associate professor at Colorado State University, Dr. Ward has also taught Physics and Civil Engineering. An internationally recognized expert in Solar Energy, Dr. Ward has visited Japan, India, Brazil, Czechoslovakia, Russia, Canada and various site throughout the United States. He is President and Chief Scientist of Quantum Genesis, L.L.C., located in Fort Collins, Colorado. Dr. Ward also enjoys directing and acting in plays at the local Civic Theatre, writing screenplays, novels, and articles for the Internet, and considers himself a humorist (he specializes in puns). Currently Dr. Ward is interested in establishing Halexandria University, "a college of the InterNet specializing in esoteric, exoteric and universal knowledge, as well as paradigm shifting realities." Dr. Ward was invited to the INE symposium to present his revolutionary ideas on "Inertial Field Theory -- A Radical Change of Pace." Despite his many accomplishments in academia and the new energy field, Dr. Ward doesn't take himself too seriously. He took the podium with a smile brimming from ear to ear to explain that he considers himself "sneaky" when it comes to science and that he often plays the role of Devil's Advocate to develop critical thought with both students and colleagues. Dr. Ward's devilish logic became quickly evident as he began his presentation by saying, "The scientific method generally consists of assumptions, observations and inferences. What we tend to forget a lot of the time is the first word, assumptions. When it comes to the laws of physics, we have theories, which are all based on assumptions. And quite often, it's in the assumptions where we all go wrong. Theories are just mathematical approximations of reality. Physicists think they're getting close, but who knows." Ward continued by stating, "The key is that experiment and observation drives physics, not the theory." To bolster his view that the scientific method is far from perfect Dr. Ward repeated a comment made in 1960 by physicist William Davis: "The whole structure of science is a cracked and sagging edifice held together with masking tape and resting on the shifting sands of constantly changing theory. Nothing is known with any real certainty, some concepts are just more probable than others. Well-known theories and even Laws turn out to be partially confirmed hypotheses, waiting to be replaced by somewhat better partially confirmed hypotheses. There is one thing we know about every theory in modern physics, is that it is wrong or at least incomplete. Sooner or later somebody will come along with a more general theory, in which the old theory seemed to be a special case. This is not a criticism of science, but merely a description of the scientific method." Dr. Ward has embraced this idea of science moored in shifting sand and his innovative thinking frequently pushes the boundaries of conventional thought. His radical Inertial Field Theory is a new concept utilizing an extension of classical mechanics and electrodynamics. Inertial Field Technologies (IFT) are based on work done in the early 1960s by pioneers in the field such as William Davis, G. Harry Stine, and others. The very significant research by these investigators has, inexplicably, never been pursued by mainstream scientific research. However, in the last several years considerable strides in extending this early work have been made both experimentally and theoretically by the author and his associates in the field of IFT and the results have been remarkable. Of particular interest is the possibility that a vast array of physical phenomena, including everything from sonoluminescence to superconductivity to basic principles of physics, can be incorporated into a single "SuperNewtonian Mechanics." These theories and implications for applications of the technology to the Quantum Genesis Inertial Field Electrical Generator are briefly touched upon in Ward's abstract and paper. This establishment of a fundamental inertial field has enormous theoretical and profoundly practical implications. According to Ward, the assumptions underlying Newton's Laws of Mechanics and the analogous Kirchhoff's Laws in Electromagnetic circuits are shown to be invalid in non-simultaneous events. In order to circumvent this difficulty or shortfall of classical theory, the traditional classical equations are extended by the addition of a third-order differential term to both the basic equations of mechanics and electromagnetism. His theory is shown to have several profound implications. When compared to the classic one way energy transfer from a circuit to the universe , implementing the third-order term implies a "one way energy transfer from the universe to a circuit" and that transfer from a mechanical system or electrical circuit. Implementing the third-order term implies a "one way energy transfer from the universe to the mechanical system and/or electrical circuit" and that when coupled with "large values of the rate of change of acceleration (the 'radical change of pace')," it ends up that the universe itself contributes significant amounts of energy to the system, which is no-longer "closed." Of particular importance is the ability of Inertial Field Theory to direct researchers simultaneously toward over-unity energy systems and propulsions systems that do not require reaction mass. The latter is significant in that it transcends so-called "anti-gravity" systems in that a gravity field (such as the Earth's) may not be required in order to achieve significant propulsive thrust. In terms of an energy system, there is no fuel of any kind to burn � and thus there is no waste product. Instead, by the "simple" expedient of tweaking the rest of the universe in a clever way, unlimited amounts of energy may be obtained. Dr. Ward expects breakthroughs in both a "fuel-less" energy system and in a "reactionless mass propulsion system." He also believes that manned travel to Mars will be possible within a decade.
