Each of these "major areas" as yet has no single "experts" in the sense that individuals exist who possess a "mastery" of the given area. As an example, in spite of multiple researchers and decades of vigorous research, no one is really an "overall expert" in the overunity electrical power systems field. The "field" itself is still struggling to be born and is not recognized at all by orthodoxy; in fact, many orthodox scientists bitterly resent one even attempting to work in this area. There is as yet no cohesive single "theory" of overunity electrical or magnetic machines, although our own group is making rapid progress in that respect. But there is still no universal agreement amongst even the researchers themselves. Literally the field is still being discovered.This "groping dimly toward a new field" should not be too surprising. After all, the early electromagnetics researchers went through the same tortuous, agonizing kind of development. They were playing with cat fur, glass rods, and pith balls for quite an extended period before understanding progressed to the point where Maxwell could mathematically tie together and model the results of the experimenters such as Faraday and others. It has taken a century and a half for modern electromagnetics and electronics to reach its own present development. It is going to take another decade or so before the overunity researchers can overturn several ill-founded parts of the present electromagnetics and get the emerging field onto a solid foundations footing and into a solid theoretical position.
In the effort to produce a theoretical model of electromagnetics, Maxwell and his predecessors performed a magnificent work. Yet they also made very serious errors (Table 2), which persist to this day. [note 2] Let us list just a few of the more blatant errors in classical EM theory today:
First, Franklin guessed wrong on which way electrical current flowed in a circuit. There is no definition at all of electrical charge in all of physics, and there is no acceptable definition of potential (that is, there is no rigorous definition of just good old "voltage.") There are no "fields of force" in the vacuum; there are just potential gradients __ because the vacuum is just one vast potential (virtual particle flux) in the first place. Force fields actually occur only in and of the matter in a material system. The primary causative agents of electromagnetics are not the so-called "force fields' at all, but are the potentials __ as is well-known in quantum mechanics. [note 3] Maxwell assumed a material ether in his equations. The Michelson-Morley experiment destroyed the material ether, but the Maxwell equations have never been changed accordingly. The electron was not yet discovered when the Maxwell equations were written; the theory does not address electron spin. Maxwell was already dead some two decades when Barus' 1898 paper [note 4] was published, pointing out the strange "backwards-traveling" wave (i.e., time-reversed wave) solution to the wave equation. In addition, Heaviside and Gibbs had already produced their vector truncation __ this truncated theory is the modern so-called "Maxwell's equations" that universities teach today __ of Maxwell's theory. Not a single one of them ever appeared in any book or paper by James Clerk Maxwell. [note 5]
