Blake's Theory of Perpetual Energy

An accquanence of mine, Peter Blake, has complained that I neglected to look into a question he asked me two years ago.

It concerns an idea he had to exploit bits of Quantum Theory to create inexhustable energy.

This page shows my current progress in:

Clearly deffining his theory.
Illustrating it.
Finding the references to other theories.
Proving or disproving it's validity.

The first time he brought this idea to me was in summer 2000AD, in Porter Black's, Chippenham.
The last time was in The Royal Hotel, bath, late summer 2002AD.

A Clear Definition

This involves an experiment with the following ingredients:

Two quantum-particle guns each with a "Back Shield".
Two quantum particles. Here we use Photons until proved inconvient.
A Screen.
Probably a metal diaphram with a thin slit.
A collection device.
- Or a recording device; individual elementary particles being fiddly to collect.
- A photographic plate.
- A device utralising the Compton effect in a cloud chamber where observation of the recoil of the particle allows prediction of particle direction.

Let's call the following sequence of events a cycle:

The guns (or whatever) fire two particles simultanously at the same part of the screen.
The particles interact in some exotic way and are collected in the collecting device.

The cycles repeat.
At the start of a cycle, the two particles are in their guns, to the 'left' of the screen.
At the end of a cycle, the two particles should have been moved by their guns, to the 'right' of the screen, except they haven't, in the manner that they are still in their guns, and their energy is in the collector, which is then harvested.
Since the particles haven't moved, they are fired again on the next cycles, and more energy-from-nowhere can be repeatedly collected.

Quantum Theory
- Search: +"quantum theory" +physics
- A reference work which shares a lot with his statements: Probably a basis.
  - The major reference refers to the Solvay Meeting, on October 1927AD in Brussels at the Fifth Physical Conference of the Solvay Institute, which was devoted to the theme "Electrons and Photons."
  - I have condensed and commented the main text. Results from search on "particle" in above main text:

The Einstein-Bohr Equation
(The physicist's name begining with 'B' is either Bohr or Bose.)
Searched: +"einstein-" +equation -"e=mc", "quantum physics" physicists. Possible related dictionary deffinitions are:

Einstein-Bohr Equation (QUANTUM MECHANICS)
In a system under-going a transition between two states so that it emits or absorbs radiation, the radiation frequency equals the difference in energy between the two states divided by Planck's constant.
Einstein-Bose Statistics (STATISTICAL MECHANICS)
The statistical mechanics of a system of indistinguishable particles for which there is no restriction on the number of particles that may exist in the same state simultaneously.
Bose-Einstein Condensation (CRYOGENICS)
In the study of systems of bosons; there is a critical temperature below which the ground state is highly populated.
Bose-Einstein Distribution (STATISTICAL MECHANICS)
For an assembly of independent bosons, a function that specifies the number of particles in each of the allowed energy states.

Validity

It is supposed to be impossible to either create or destroy energy. Nobody has created a sucessful perpertual motion machine, either. It's no good telling Peter this because he won't listen. He want's it proved or disproved. That's the tricky bit.

If this survive's my probing, I will forward it to an old friend\collegue of mine, who happens to be a professor of quantum mechanics at the University of Birmingham.

Summary (Subject to change)

The expected and actual behaviour of the particles (electrons or photons may be used), how they are fired, and how their energy is collected are at present all undeffined.

(Particles could be observed/recorded as noted under "A Clear Definition", above.)

Conclusions (Subject to change)

The behaviour and deffintions need to be researched so we know what we're talking about here, before any further progress can be made.
