This is my attempt to describe and understand Free Energy from an engineering perspective. I am not formally trained although I tried to take beginning electrical theory class at Santa Monica College, twice, but was unsuccessful at tolerating what I felt to be a glaring error in how Ohm's Law was being taught. {How did I know this?} Once I pursued a submission for provisional patent (last year),...

...I began to understand what the problem is.

The problem is that current is a mathematical shorthand notation (a fiction) which simplifies something far more complicated in that all of electrodynamics is in a mixed state of real power blended with reactance (which is not power in the strictest sense of the word since it is imaginary predicated upon the square root of negative one).

So, ...
It is not purely accurate (although it is convenient) for Ohm's Law to be taught as...

Power {equals} Voltage {times} Current

When, in fact, it is more accurate to describe it as...

Power {equals} the Application of Real Voltage {times} its Resulting Reactive Voltage {divided by} Various Impedances......and all of this within a framework of time.

Thus, it is an understatement to say that the following version (of the above) is in desperate need of clarification...

Power {equals} Voltage {squared} {divided by} Resistance

...which is the alternative format in which Ohm's Law is presented. This obliterates any distinction between the two types of voltage under the presumption that we can safely ignore reactance most of the time. This may be true, but does not help us to understand the general theory of electrodynamics which contributes to our misunderstandings of free energy.
