OK I put this in here because I feel it is important in regards to our knowledge about the nature of reality. And it would get lost in another forum on this site.
This first Vid was from Australian TV. To me it's not true Zero Point but a magnetic motor but this device produces 24 kw in a day and cost $5000 Aus or US $3265, Euro $2424, Pounds $1916

From wikipedia an explanation of Zero Point energy.
In physics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics), the zero-point energy is the lowest possible energy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy) that a quantum mechanical (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mechanical) physical system (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_system) may possess and is the energy of the ground state (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_state) of the system. The quantum mechanical system that encapsulates this energy is the zero-point field (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-point_field). The concept was first proposed by Albert Einstein (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein) and Otto Stern (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Stern) in 1913. The term "zero-point energy" is a calque (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calque) of the German Nullpunktenergie. All quantum mechanical systems have a zero point energy. The term arises commonly in reference to the ground state of the quantum harmonic oscillator (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_harmonic_oscillator) and its null oscillations.
In quantum field theory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_field_theory), it is a synonym for the vacuum energy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_energy), an amount of energy associated with the vacuum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum) of empty space (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space). In cosmology (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_cosmology), the vacuum energy is taken to be the origin of the cosmological constant (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmological_constant) which is thought by many to produce dark energy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_energy). Experimentally, the zero-point energy of the vacuum leads directly to the Casimir effect (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casimir_effect), and is directly observable in nanoscale devices (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanoscale_device).
Because zero point energy is the lowest possible energy a system can have, this energy cannot be removed from the system. A related term is zero-point field (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-point_field), which is the lowest energy state of a field (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_%28physics%29); i.e. its ground state (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_state), which is non-zero.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-point_energy#cite_note-0)

s Free Energy for real? Or is it just a tantalizing dream kept alive by wishful thinking and the collective unconscious of mankind... the figment of the imaginations of totally mad scientists.... or as cynics and skeptics proclaim, an easy mark for the unmitigated greed of charlatans and con artists looking for the quick buck. To facilitate an intelligent dialogue on the subject of free energy we've assembled a collection of websites and videos, both pro and con. We invite you, using an inquiring but discerning mind, to carefully examine these documents and decide for your self "the truth" of Free Energy. You may be surprised at your conclusions.

"....If we could produce electric effects of the required quality, this whole planet and the conditions of existence on it could be transformed. The sun raises the water of the oceans and winds drive it to distant regions where it remains in state of most delicate balance. If it were in our power to upset it when and wherever desired, this mighty life-sustaining stream could be at will controlled. We could irrigate arid deserts, create lakes and rivers and provide motive power in unlimited amount. This would be the most efficient way of harnessing the sun to the uses of man...." Nikola Tesla
"....It is difficult to imagine a more profound reversal of scientific fortunes than what has been emerging in the "cold fusion" field. One of the most disputed anomalies in the history of science is inexorably heading toward acceptance by the scientific community.'' Dr. Eugene Mallove
