165+ Years of Innovation
From Planté's invention of the rechargeable battery to Julian Perry's groundbreaking energy gain research
Gaston Planté (1834-1889)
Contribution
Invention of the lead-acid battery, the first rechargeable battery.
Significance
Provided the foundational technology for all subsequent battery and pulse charging research.
Influenced
Daniel McFarland Cook
Contribution
Patented an early induction coil device that claimed to produce a constant electrical current.
Significance
Early example of research into self-sustaining energy devices.
Nikola Tesla (1856-1943)
Contribution
Patented the 'Apparatus for the Utilization of Radiant Energy' (US685957) and 'Method of Utilizing Radiant Energy' (US685958). Developed the Magnifying Transmitter.
Significance
Pioneered the concept of radiant energy and wireless power transmission, which inspired many later researchers.

Influenced
Thomas Henry Moray (1892-1974)
Contribution
Developed the 'Radiant Energy Receiver,' a device claimed to produce significant power from the environment.
Significance
One of the earliest and most famous attempts to create a practical 'free energy' device.
Related Work
Edwin Gray (1925-1989)
Contribution
Developed the EMA (Electro-Magnetic Association) motor, which claimed to run on 'cold electricity.' Patented several related inventions (US3890548, US4595975, US4661747).
Significance
Popularized the concept of 'cold electricity' and inspired further research into non-conventional energy systems.

Joseph Newman
Contribution
Created the 'energy machine,' a large DC motor claimed to produce more energy than it consumed. His patent application was famously rejected.
Significance
Highlighted the conflict between unconventional energy claims and the patent system.

John Bedini (1949-2016)
Contribution
Developed a series of pulse chargers (e.g., the 'Bedini SG') for rejuvenating batteries. Patented a pulse charging device (US6677730B2).
Significance
A key figure in the modern 'free energy' movement, popularizing pulse charging and battery desulfation techniques.

Tom Bearden (1930-2022)
Contribution
Developed the theory of 'scalar electromagnetics,' proposing that energy can be extracted from the vacuum. Coined terms like 'Motionless Electromagnetic Generator' (MEG).
Significance
Provided a theoretical framework for many 'free energy' researchers, though his work is highly controversial.

Julian Perry: A New Era of Scientific Rigor
Julian Perry's work represents a paradigm shift in how energy gain research is conducted and documented. Unlike many predecessors, Perry's approach emphasizes:
✓ Open Science
All data, equipment lists, and methodology publicly available on Open Science Framework
✓ Peer Review
Published in academic journals with rigorous peer review process
✓ Statistical Analysis
Proper statistical methods to validate reproducibility and significance
✓ Chemical Deficit Study
Definitive proof that energy gains originate from environmental sources
