Terry,
> Strangely attractive! Here is something even more strangely attractive to Chua in a synchronous kind of way: US Patent 5,590,031 (1996) http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=5,590,031.PN.&OS=PN/5,590,031&RS=PN/5,590,031 Which is the famous origianl "ZPE patent" of Dr.Frank Mead of Edwards AFB, which is often mentioned by Valone (he was not the primary examiner at USPTO for this one). Way ahead of its time, but it could possibly be pulled off today by a few of the best "fabs" so to speak. Mead's approach was to have microscopic nonlinear oscillators interact with the ZPE, not unlike the Chua cirucit, and if you could get that one above the 1.7 THz cuttoff frequency of ZPE, recently mentioned on Haisch's calphysics page, then you might be onto something truely chaotic ... for Big-Oil, that is. At least you would them "over a barrel" ;-) Jones
