APEC 1/17: Quantum Vacuum Engineering, LENR, & the FlameJet Generator

Giovanni Cambria will present on the Relativistic Amplification of an Engineered Quantum Vacuum, George Egely will survey the current state of LENR (often called cold fusion) through the lens of “catalytic fusion”,  Orestis Lazanakis will be discussing the results of isotope tests conducted on purported ET material samples from UAP / implants, and Larry Deavenport will discuss his hands-on replication of T. Townsend Brown’s “Flame-Jet Generator”. We’ll also be hearing updates from our lab partners and finishing off the event with an open discussion by conference attendees!

12:00pm PT – Giovanni Cambria – Relativistic Amplification of an Engineered Quantum Vacuum

Giovanni Cambria presents an experimental proposal aimed at engineering and dynamically “amplifying” a region of negative energy density using a solid-state metamaterial—tangentially aligned Au@TiO₂ core-shell nanorods embedded in a TiO₂ matrix—leveraging Casimir confinement in ~10 nm gaps as the initial negative-energy state. The concept then “activates” and sweeps this engineered vacuum region around a compact toroidal track using an ultra-fast, high-power pulsed laser and a no-moving-parts optical scanning architecture (electro-optic deflection, beam expansion, and conical projection), with explicit attention to engineering constraints such as nanorod density, activation/reset times, laser sampling (Nyquist) limits, and thermal management. The talk frames the motivation through the negative-energy requirement found in superluminal warp metrics, discusses competing models for how negative energy couples gravitationally, and outlines a staged set of ambitions—from a near-term laboratory demonstration concept (e.g., a controllable spacetime/metric perturbation source) to more speculative long-term propulsion implications.

1:00pm PT – George Egely – Cold Fusion & LENR Research

Dr. George Egely will survey the current state of LENR (often called cold fusion) through the lens of “catalytic fusion”—what it is, why terminology matters, and where the most credible experimental threads are converging today (from condensed-plasmoid and discharge-driven effects to materials-focused systems). As a long-time technical editor for Infinite Energy Magazine and a visible organizer/connector in the LENR community, Egely’s talk emphasizes practical discriminators—clean calorimetry, reproducibility, and what nuclear signatures (if any) should look like when results are real—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.

2:00pm PT – Orestis Lazanakis – ET Isotope Tests for Purported UAP Samples

Orestis will be providing an overview of isotope sample analysis for 5 purported UAP / implant samples in his possession. This is part of an ongoing analysis project, but he has already found that copper in one of the samples was off by 4% which is a huge number for that metal – and he notes there is no natural process that can result in such a big difference, not even bombardment by cosmic rays. Orestis is currently doing a review of the literature and find new things that will help interpret the results better.

3:00pm PT – Larry Deavenport – TT Brown FlameJet Generator

Larry Deavenport will discuss his hands-on replication of T. Townsend Brown’s “Flame-Jet Generator” (described in Brown’s electrokinetic generator patent work), a high-voltage device that uses a combusting gas jet and an electrified needle/electrode in the nozzle to inject charge into the exhaust stream; that charged flow then passes through collector screens/plates that accumulate charge and build extremely high DC voltages, which can be routed into an output/conditioning circuit for measurement and practical use. The talk focuses on what it takes to actually build and operate the apparatus (geometry, materials, fuel/flow, electrode placement), what the replication measurements show (voltage, current, stability, losses), and what the results do—and don’t—imply about Brown’s broader electrokinetic/electrogravitic claims.

4:00pm PT – Lab Partners – Experimental Research Updates

Learn about hands-on engineering & technical research on advanced propulsion experiments by our lab partners. Mark Sokol’s team at Falcon Space is full engaged in Dynamic Nuclear Polarization research & testing; Drew Aurigema continues testing and refinement on the Exodus effect propulsion device, and Curtis Horn is focused on Mach effect propulsion on the MEGA-Drive team.

5:00pm PT – Open Discussion & Ad-Hoc Presentations

Conference guests interested in presenting experimental info to the group are invited to participate at this time, and our presenters will be available to take questions & discuss experiments.
