Plasma-based optical computing uses the tunable dielectric response of plasma to manipulate electromagnetic waves for computational tasks. Plasma permittivity depends on plasma frequency, which scales with electron density and can be adjusted by varying discharge power. In the underdense regime, where operating frequency exceeds plasma frequency, waves stretch and phase velocity becomes superluminal. In the overdense regime, plasma behaves like metal with negative permittivity and evanescent wave propagation. Operating near the plasma frequency lets elements switch between these states, enabling reconfigurable devices. Magnetized plasma reaches permittivity values beyond what the Drude model predicts through cyclotron resonances, where wave compression produces extremely high refractive indices. Early work demonstrated tunable two-dimensional photonic crystal structures like resonators, waveguides, and band gap devices, but these consisted of repeated identical elements arranged in patterns.

Three-dimensional plasma photonic crystals introduce complexity through layered heterogeneous structures. A cubic lattice band gap device with an underdense plasma layer showed measurable frequency shifts and attenuation changes of two to five decibels despite minimal plasma density. A woodpile structure combining horizontal and vertical plasma rods exhibited coupling between localized surface plasmon modes in horizontal rods and Bragg interference in vertical rods. This produced deeper band gaps than serial configurations would predict. Magnetized two-dimensional devices demonstrated exotic topological phenomena. Dirac-like dispersion with linear conical band intersections and flat bands creates zero-index media where wavelength approaches infinity and embedded objects become invisible to passing waves. Achieving this requires finding coincident Dirac points for both TE and TM polarizations, which happened accidentally in parameter space for higher-order Dirac points. Unidirectional edge states exploit gyrotropic scattering that biases fields in one direction. Waves propagate along photonic crystal boundaries without backscattering, remaining immune to defects and sharp bends.

Inverse design methodology optimizes plasma metamaterial devices by treating plasma frequency of each element as adjustable parameters. Forward mode differentiation computes gradients during field solving, allowing iterative improvement toward performance metrics like directional transmission or frequency demultiplexing. A ten by ten array of uniform cylindrical plasma elements achieved low-loss waveguiding and demultiplexing with non-intuitive configurations that manual design couldn't produce. Adding realistic factors like non-uniform density profiles, quartz envelopes, and collision frequency degraded performance slightly but devices remained functional. Random perturbations up to 34 to 45 percent of optimal plasma density didn't seriously degrade performance. Removing non-idealities allowed a full Boolean AND/OR logic gate despite inherently linear physics. Experimental realization required mapping power supply settings to average plasma density using kinetic models of DC glow discharge, accounting for cathode fall voltage and varying fill pressures and gas temperatures. A triangular lattice hexagonal configuration with 200 controllable bulbs achieved nearly 20 decibel isolation for waveguiding and 15 decibel isolation for demultiplexing, though discrepancies between two-dimensional simulation and three-dimensional experimental reality produced unexpected band gaps and frequency responses.

What is the Thunderstorm Generator? | Alchemical Science

The Thunderstorm Generator is a retrofit system for internal combustion engines, coal plants, turbines, or anything with an exhaust pipe or chimney. The only required extra input is water, and it uses no rare metals or complicated components. The independently verified outcomes include reductions in or elimination of CO₂, CO, hydrocarbons, NOₓ, sulfur, and other toxins. The device produces exhaust streams containing oxygen and breathable air with a composition close to natural atmosphere, and fuel consumption drops by up to 64% under load. Engine residue is removed, engines last longer, and rare or useful elements are produced through what is termed stepwise atomic reconstruction or transmutation.

The core system operates through three main stages. First, air passes a UV ionizer that preconditions it before it hits the second unit, the "bubbler" plasmoid generator, where agitated water forms a spectrum of bubble sizes, and cavitating micron-sized bubbles generate MSART plasmoids (waterborne self-organized plasma structures). These plasmoids flow into the heart of the reactor, called the vajra, which is constructed from nested stainless steel spheres. The vajra is where counter-rotating vortex flows and intense plasmoid action create the conditions for "fusion" or stepwise element formation. Independent tests show dramatic reductions in core pollutants and up to 7,000% increases in exhaust oxygen content.

SEM-EDX analysis (scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray) of the vajra's interior confirms ball lightning or plasmoid reactions, showing the synthesis of nearly all elements up to iron. Distinctive impact marks, microscopic spheres, and crystalline structures match signatures found in other low-energy fusion systems and ball lightning research. Analysis finds the first 32 elements present, and radiocarbon dating of deposit carbon yields anomalously old ages, supporting claims of time-altering effects. The system reportedly emits no measurable gamma radiation, as waterborne plasmoids feature a non-radiating boundary and absorb energy internally. Public demonstrations, third-party replications, and adaptations to applications from vehicles to motors confirm emission results and operational robustness.

Manufacturing Thunderstorm Generators | Alchemical Science

Akras Industries in Australia handles design, R&D, and production for Malcolm Bendall's Thunderstorm Generator in partnership with Strike Foundation. The manufacturing process centers on precision water jet cutting and CNC machining of 304 and 310 stainless steel components at roughly 50,000 PSI. Water jet cutting avoids the heat distortion, recast layers, and stress loading that laser or plasma cutting introduce. The cuts come out clean and ready for welding without oxidation. The vajra consists of nested spheres in specific ratios: 4:3:2 for standard units, with variations like 8:6:4 and 24:18:12 for larger applications. These connect through nested tubes that create counter-rotating vortex flows. Components arrive from manufacturing partners like Rockpecker in India as hemispheres, transition pieces, and flanges that get assembled, welded, and annealed locally.

Cold-formed stainless steel develops magnetic properties during fabrication, particularly in worked regions like the formed edges of hemispheres. Annealing removes these magnetic fields and relieves manufacturing stresses while degassing the material. This creates uniform thermal and magnetic properties throughout the structure, which prevents plasmoid interference and eliminates hot zones where electromagnetic entities might preferentially interact with residual stresses or magnetic anomalies in the metal. Newer design iterations feature double-curved transitions milled from solid bar stock on CNC machines. These provide smoother flow characteristics and move welds further from reaction zones. Different compression ratios suit different engine sizes. Smaller diameter nested cavities work for smaller engines, and proportionally scaled units fit turbines and large generators like Caterpillar diesels.

Assembly involves tacking components to precision jigs, welding hemispheres together, grinding external welds for aesthetics, and preparing units for final annealing before deployment. Tri-clamp fittings allow easy removal and reinstallation of vajras for analysis or replacement. The bubbler attaches to the air intake, and UV ionizer units precondition incoming air. Exhaust flanges are custom-fabricated to match specific engine configurations using water jet cut plates. Heat shields protect surrounding components from thermal effects. Strategic manufacturing partnerships span multiple continents. Rockpecker in India, Landological and Lush Heat Treatment in the UK, Alpha Prospects in the UK and Thailand, and Akras Industries in Australia all contribute to global production scaling. Units go to universities, demonstrations, and commercial retrofits as the technology moves toward mass production and worldwide distribution.

The epic volumes of the Vril Compendium by Gerry Vassilatos have been a part of the Aether Force arcives since its inception, as we are continuing the real Borderlands these days but always good to see them making the rounds. Apparently more than these volumes were written but never released. Sadly Gerry was forced to shut down his research on many levels.

Gerry Vassilatos’s Vril Compendium is an 11-volume exploration of Vril, a mysterious, intelligent energy said to underlie all physical reality. Drawing from suppressed science, esoteric philosophy, and the forgotten work of fringe inventors like Keely and Tesla, Vassilatos presents Vril as a living, formative force—responsive to consciousness and capable of powering technologies beyond conventional understanding.

Form from the Cosmic Mould
For a while I have viewed the ethers as context, from the cosmic periphery, that acts like some sort of mould to give form to the universal substance, prima materia, the Body of the Thrones. Once moulded, matter seems to be nothing but a negative image of the etheric rhythms and processes. What we conceive of as atomic matter is nothing but the imprint of higher rhythms from the cosmos. Here are a few quotes I have come across recently that help give visualization to this idea.

"This organic architecture idea is related to another concept you also find inside the First Goetheanum, in the way that the whole thing has been sculpted. In this concept, the forms can also be seen as a kind of negative space, so that the spiritual forces or the etheric energies are actually pressing out the form that you see, as if it were a jelly mould. Or as if you had some type of cookie cutter and you were pressing it down. Usually we think of the open space in the building as the negative, empty space. But what if that open space actually has a quality of energy that has its own geometry, and in fact that geometry is then pressing itself into the wood according to its invisible geometry, and leaves the visible form of the interior of the building as its negative space outline in the actual wood structure. So this is the jelly mould concept, which could more elegantly be called the "etheric imprint concept" - Robert Gilbert, Old Vesica Institute Sacred Geometry Course

"Space is the mirage or negative image of the aether; time is the mirage or negative image of eternity." - Ken Wheeler (paraphrased from a recent video)

"To imaginative cognition atoms are revealed as bubbles and the reality is where the empty space is supposed to be. Atoms are blown up bubbles. In other words, in contrast to what surrounds them they are nothing. You know that where bubbles are seen in soda-water there is no water. Atoms are bubbles in that sense; where they are the space is hollow, nothing is there. And yet it is possible to push against it; impact occurs precisely because, in pushing against hollowness, an effect is produced.

...

Imaginative clairvoyance first perceives only the supersensible, etheric-astral realm but not yet the subsensible, which, as all matter, is perceived by imaginative clairvoyance as a hollow space in the ether. The comparison with water bubbles is quite valid: for in these, too, is air, which is only not seen.

...

How can nothing produce an effect?

Take the case of the space, practically empty of air, within an air-pump; there you see how air streams into nothingness. A wrong interpretation might imagine the empty space in the bulb of the air pump as containing a substance that forced in the air. That is exactly the illusion prevailing in regard to the atom. The opposite is true: atoms are empty—yet again not empty. There is after all something within these bubbles. And what is it? This is also something about which have already spoken: what exists within the atom bubbles is ahrimanic substance. Ahriman is there. The whole system of atoms consists of ahrimanic substantiality. As you see this is a considerable metamorphosis of the ideas entertained by those who theorize about matter. Where in space they see something material we see the presence of Ahriman." — Rudolf Steiner, "2.
