Could 'Free Energy' released from New Fire reactors be a shot through the heart of mainstream science?
Introduction to the ECCO 'Free Energy' technology if you are not familiar

The bind
So sure are the global utility suppliers that there is no reliable next generation technology on the horizon, that in most thermal and electrical power markets around the world, the difference in energy cost between market participants is just a few percentage points. To free oneself from this situation typically requires an investment into solar technology that has a payback listed in years. Moreover, solar power suffers from intermittent generation in the absence of further expensive storage.
Engineers pricing energy today, do so based on the sure knowledge that mainstream science will back up their understanding that there is no energy miracle on the horizon.
'Free Energy' is NOT about perpetual motion
If the New Fire technologies that are emerging around the world do prove to be what they are claimed to be, for the vast majority of users, when they get 8 or 10 times energy for every $1 spent, then relative to the users buying traditionally generated power, their bonus would be considered free, hence 'Free Energy'.
Most people do not care how their power is produced, yes some will virtue signal their environmental credentials and watch a movie about global warming and the like, but the majority will not go and live a humble low energy lifestyle to prove their point.
People interested in the environment WILL purchase a technology that - for whatever reason - will save polar bears, stop rainforests being flooded, result in improved air or conscience free air conditioning use.
'Free Energy' will not come free
Firstly, the many scientists and citizen researchers across the world that have laboured on this technology for decades spent life and other resources to get where they are. Their claimed discoveries came at a cost and so even at inception the fruits of the work did not come without a price. Having said that, the apparent technology emerging is based on millions of hours of research across 100s of years and so all need to respect their place in the evolution of this gift as it is given.
There will also be a cost to make reactors and engineer fuel, however, people have to replace their engines and domestic heating / lighting equipment on a regular cycle, so something that gives a step change in output with the same investment will seem miraculous and it will be transformative.
The next generation will not see the New Fire as 'Free Energy'
If technology does get realised, just like mobile phones, the magic will just be seen as what IS, what you GET for your money and the relative 'freeness' of the New Fire will be lost as a concept.
Before being taken for granted, hard, unaccepted and unloved science needs to be conducted
As hard as working in the New Fire field is, sometimes nature gives you little gifts to make you smile and so it was when, for a second time, the Masaryk University in Brno took a look at the Nickel foil made for the ECCO reactor. In one of the plasma strike zones, there was what appeared to be a bullet hole at the centre of a heart shaped debris field.
The 'bullet' at the centre appears to be of a different crystal structure to the Nickel in the flat plane around the hole.
| Spectrum | C | O | S | Fe | Ni | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 82 | 8.80 | 2.25 | 0.33 | 0.51 | 88.10 | 100.00 |
| 83 | 4.66 | 43.57 | 16.01 | 35.77 | 100.00 | |
| 84 | 4.12 | 2.49 | 0.21 | 0.49 | 92.69 | 100.00 |
When the plasma discharge forms, it will immediately get hot, boil the electrolyte and clear the electrolyte in a bubble of plasma gas surrounding the primary "strike" zone. So, the bulls-eye appearance is not surprising. There is a wide variety of crystal formation. Spectrum 83 seems to show formation of nickel sulphate crystals from the electrolyte. The Fe that shows in the spectrum would come from the anode (common for the anode to deliver ions into the plating solution). It is not surprising that the film morphology/crystallography would be bizarre in a such a plasma electrolysis plating system.
Also note that the carbon is probably from contamination by the organic conductive tape commonly used to mount the foil to the sample pedestal, and is thus a surface contamination, not a part of the Ni composition.
No transmutation effects are apparent in this SEM analysis.
Whilst there is not specific ELEMENTS that are not expected in this particular 3 sample points, if Adamenko is to be believed, then we may find that there is some skew to higher isotopes of Nickel for instance.
SIMS testing is therefore very important and if there are isotopic variation from natural abundance, this may mean that the preparation of the foil is more important to the reactors functioning than first thought.
