2024-10-09 Aaron Murakami Interviewed by Karen Elkins of Science to Sage on the Lakhovsky Multiwave Oscillator

In this compelling interview with Karen Elkins, editor and founder of Science to Sage Magazine, Aaron Murakami shares incredible stories about his friendships with energy science pioneers like John Bedini, Eric Dollard, Peter Lindemann, and Paul Babcock, detailing how their work shaped his journey into alternative energy technologies. Aaron delves into how he got involved with the Lakhovsky Multiwave Oscillator (MWO) and offers an in-depth look at the device, explaining the critical differences between longitudinal and transverse waves, debunking the myth of scalar waves, and revealing how the MWO automatically tunes itself to its environment. He highlights Lakhovsky’s unbalanced vs. balanced operation, explaining the three intrinsic unbalanced features that most modern MWO units are missing—except for one—and provides a fascinating demonstration of the difference between balanced and unbalanced operation. He also shares insights into the origins of A & P Electronic Media, John Bedini’s battery chargers, and the history behind the Energy Science & Technology Conference, all while emphasizing that profits from the MWO go towards funding other innovative projects in Spokane, Washington.

Aaron takes viewers on a journey through advanced physics concepts, breaking down Einstein’s nonsensical views and redefining the true nature of space, inertia, and time. He explores extraluminal propagation, the structure of EMF, and what truly moves electron current. Aaron offers real definitions of energy and potential, showing how mainstream science has turned these concepts upside down, while explaining how we’re already tapping into the aether—the source of all potential. He also debunks the myth that energy can’t be created or destroyed and reveals how energy is destroyed between the coils of the Cosmic Induction Generator. Throughout the interview, he discusses inductive spikes vs. back EMF, burden in MWO rings, and the counterspace phenomenon. Aaron’s personal insights, including Eric Dollard’s relationship with Philo Farnsworth’s son, synchronicities that led him to these pioneers, and Eric Dollard’s golden ratio PCB antennae, are woven into the discussion, offering viewers an unmatched depth of knowledge.

Whether you’re interested in the Lakhovsky MWO, the Cosmic Induction Generator, or a fresh understanding of time, energy, and space, Aaron provides clear, practical explanations. He offers resources for deeper learning, including over 225 books and videos at https://eMediaPress.com, free downloads, and references to http://EnergeticForum.com and https://EnergyScienceForum.com for further exploration.

New Frequency Calculator on RPX Page from Tesla Scientific

Tesla Scientific

Special thanks to Simon Davies aka dR-Green (on Energetic Forum) for creating a simple, user-friendly calculator on the new RPX website. Everyone can instantly see what audio frequency needs to be mixed with the 3.1 MHz carrier in order to create sidebands that are rich in harmonics for ANY frequency they want.

Simon has been replicating much of Tesla and Dollard’s work over the years and his calculators are accurate so if you want to know how to calculate windings and other parameters for your experiments, he has both free and paid calculators available at: Tesla Scientific

Here’s an example of how you can use this calculator and the RPX as a 432 Hz harmonic generator, which nobody else is doing.

You take the carrier of 3.1 Mhz and divide it by 432 = 7175.93

Round up or down to the nearest whole number = 7176

Multiply your desired frequency of 432 x 7176 the multiplier = 3.100032 Mhz sideband that will be created

The difference between the sideband and carrier is 32 Hz

Therefore, if you use an external signal generator with the RPX and you input a sinewave limited to 2 volts with a frequency of 32 Hz, it will create a sideband of 3.100032 MHz, which is a multiple of 432 Hz and it will have a whole lot of harmonics of that frequency.

This can obviously be done with any desired frequency – why not use Rife’s brilliant method to create frequencies for your frequency needs? Everyone else is just focusing on the fundamental frequency but are completely ignoring the fact that the real power comes from all the harmonics.

Go to the calculator here, enter the desired frequency and hit return. You’ll instantly get the audio frequency needed to be input into the RPX to do the above: https://emediapress.com/rpx3#resources

Bedini RPX v3.0 Rife Machine – Presales Open February 17, 2022

Bedini 3.1MHz Sideband Generator v3.0 Prototype "Rife Machine"

It’s very exciting to finally release version 3.0 of the most authentic Rife Frequency generator manufactured anywhere in the world. The link at the end of this sentence titled “Rife Machine” takes you to the Vril.io RPX page that explains why that is true – scroll back up to this link but read this page first: Rife Machine

Below is a sneak peak at the Bedini RPX 3.1MHz Sideband Generator v3.0 – “Rife Machine”. If you’re not familiar with what a sideband generator is, the above link will take you to a page that explains it. Any machine that correctly produces “Rife Frequencies” the way that Rife and his assistant Philip Hoyland did must be done with “sidebands” or it is not a Rife Machine – this is an indisputable, historically-documented fact.

RPX stands for Rife, Priore and an X-Factor but it really should stand for Rife, Priore and Bedini because what his genius incorporated into the RPX is in fact the X-Factor. When we release the v3.0, you’ll learn why the RPX is far superior to any other device even remotely similar and there is only one that is close that I know of and that John Bedini truly was the world’s leading authority on what Rife was doing.

DISREGARD THIS BLOG POST, THE RPX 3.0 IS ALREADY AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE – GO HERE FOR THE NEW WEBPAGE: RIFE MACHINE

First, here’s a picture of the original unit – it worked perfect but was a bit cumbersome since you have to connect an external signal generator and external battery but this is how John Bedini originally released it late 2014 or early 2015. Below, you’ll see the obvious point to the new RPX 3.0 and why my goal was to make the most user friendly “Rife Machine” ever developed and it has been successfully accomplished.

Bedini RPX 2.0

Below you can see the prototype (no logo or labels for the knobs, switches or jacks). The signal generator inside was designed by Paul Babcock so this couldn’t have happened without his brilliant help. Others were kind enough to offer their services to design one in the past but at that time, the cost was prohibitive, plus, I wanted to stay away from digital as much as possible because digital is fake and analog is of the real world. THE SIGNAL GENERATOR IS 100% ANALOG. Both Rife and Bedini would be thrilled about that!

  1. The LEFT KNOB controls the TIME of the sweep. Specifics will be forthcoming.
  2. The SWITCH between the knobs in the down position leaves it in WIDEBAND MODE so it sweeps from close to 0Hz up to 150kHz to create sidebands that are all even multiples of EVERY SINGLE Rife Frequency automatically without having to. Rife went to 40kHz because that was the upper range of a typical audio signal generator. Why go to 150kHz? It’s one of the things that makes this superior to any sideband generator that creates the Rife Frequencies and I’ll show the math and demonstrations for this so you understand what this means and why it is important. What did Bedini know that Rife and Hoyland possibly didn’t? You’ll find out soon on the page where these units will be available for pre-order on February 17th, 2022.
  3. The RIGHT KNOB controls the narrow band sweep. When the switch is in the up position, it activates the narrow band mode. I’m asked all the time about focusing on certain frequencies. It’s always a bad idea to use any single static frequency as a “wobble” or variation in the frequency was always what was found to be superior. So within the 150kHz range, the narrow band will focus on a 25-30kHz range. If the knob is all the counterclockwise, it will sweep from almost 0Hz up to about 25kHz and as you rotate the dial clockwise, it will keep a 25-30kHz sweep width but higher up in the 150kHz range. There will be a chart printed on top of the case that shows you what frequency range you are at based on the number on the dial, which will be printed on the front panel.

Scroll down to the top of the next picture for an explanation of the rest of the features on the front panel – I just want to break up the text a bit to make it easier to read.

Bedini 3.1MHz Sideband Generator v3.0 Prototype "Rife Machine"
  1. The switch at the top next to the gold RCA jack allows you to use the internal signal generator, which is all anyone will need 99.99% of the time. In the down position, you will be using the internal signal generator and the two knobs and switch to the left. But for those of you who are more technically oriented, you can move the switch in the up position and you can then plug in your own signal generator into that RCA jack. ONLY USE SINE WAVE AND LIMIT THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE OF YOUR SIGNAL GENERATOR TO 2 VOLTS MAX or you can damage the unit. You will able to narrow the sweep to perhaps a few kilocycles on either side of a target frequency to get more specific, extend sweep times beyond what is possible with the internal signal generator or even use frequencies that will produce sidebands that are even multiples of frequencies like 432Hz or any other frequency set of numbers using this method. We’ll teach you how to calculate all that with videos that will be available.
  2. The RED and BLACK banana jacks at the bottom are the output jacks. We supply a cable that you can plug into that and on the other end are alligator clips. You only have to supply your own electrodes. Inexpensive copper tubing from a hardware store than you can get for a few dollars per foot is all you need. Two pieces about 4″ long and maybe 3/8 to 1/2″ diameter is sufficient. Conductive gel is recommended and this one is the only one I could easily find that is free of parabens – this is our Amazon affiliate link: Conductive Gel

    If you’re mechanically inclined, we’d recommend cutting off the alligator clips and soldering the wires to the tubes or adding ring terminals and screwing them to the tubes. Later on, we may recommend a company where you can get some electrodes.
  3. The top right LED light is a RED power light that shows the RPX power is turned on (switch is on the back).
  4. The LED directly under that shows when the PUMPWAVE is on and it will also be RED – just the prototype has the blue light and its just too bright. The switch underneath that can be switched to turn the Pumpwave off and on. This is another one John Bedini’s genius innovations. With the switch off, you can still get the classic Rife Frequencies with the 3.1MHz carrier and sidebands. With the switch on, you get the low frequency carrier (another carrier) that puts the 3.1MHz carrier and sidebands on it and that Pumpwave is a 8-9Hz square wave that takes electrode delivery to another level. Literally, there is nothing that compares to the Bedini 3.1MHz Sideband Generator v3.0.

Above the next picture is a description of what is on the back of the RPX.

Bedini 3.1MHz Sideband Generator v3.0 Prototype "Rife Machine"
  1. The jack and switch below will be flush with the panel on the final units. The jack on the left is for a 16.8 volt 1 amp, regulated lithium-ion charger. The red light on the charger will be on while it is charging and when it is finished charging, the green light will come on. You will not be able to use the RPX while the battery is charging – plugging in the charger will disconnect the battery from the circuit. Please charge the battery fully before using the RPX for the first time. The average use time the RPX is on is about 15 to 30 minutes so you will get a good number of uses before you have to charge the battery again. The switch on the right is the off/on switch to turn on the power. In the down position, it will be off and in the up position, it will be on.

Bedini 3.1MHz Sideband Generator v3.0 - Rife Machine

I’ll make a video walk thru and will put that on the RPX page when pre-orders are open on February 17th along with pricing, etc.

The RPX v2.0 model sold for $425 itself (required you to provide your own battery and signal generator) or $650 for the whole combo kit that included everything except the electrodes. My goal was to make this new RPX 3.0 available for as close to the RPX v2.0 price as possible. The RPX v3.0 will cost more because my production costs are higher. The first 50 (most likely 50) units for pre-sale will be at a super low price compared to what the retail price should be.

Keep in mind that the next closest machine that even comes close to a “Rife Machine” retails for over $1800. That means that since this is a superior technology and it is a super specialty item not available anywhere else that the RPX v3.0 should have a retail price of around $2000 to $2500 (but it won’t be) and it would be worth ever penny comparing value vs value in terms of sale price.

Make sure to order as soon as the pre-order page opens up on February 17th because you’ll be pleasantly surprised with our pricing! You’ll also be earning points on emediapress.com that is good for credit toward digital downloads. More to come…

Bedini’s Glass Case Motor – Full Disclosure coming to 2020 ESTC

John Bedini's Glass Case Motor - Gravity Wave Space Flux Motor

In 1999, when John Bedini was first introduced to me, this “Glass Case Motor” was the first thing he wanted to show me so it had always been very special to me but it was even more special to John. It is a beautiful work of art that John built because it embodied the many principles that were worked out over the years with his partner from the past, Ron Cole.

The first time he ever presented it publicly was at the 2015 Energy Science & Technology Conference but it was mostly a demonstration along with the history and some of the thinking behind it but he never disclosed the circuit specs, coil details, etc.

The interesting or even profound thing about this “glass case motor”, which John actually called the Gravity Wave Space Flux Motor, is that it had run countless hours over the years on 30 year old either alkaline or zinc carbon batteries. The batteries had been seen to be in such poor shape that they were practically falling apart but nevertheless, once the rotor is spun, it picks up speed, turns a propeller shaft with eddy currents, blinks LEDs but the batteries never seem to die.

The long-awaited, full-disclosure that everyone has wanted but never thought would happen is coming to the 2020 Energy Science & Technology Conference.

While we may not be able to claim we know all the answer as to why this particular arrangement of coils, magnets, etc. can demonstrate these amazing feats and we may not be able to claim that we see this motor the same way John did as he had his own unique way of looking at things, you will will walk away with all the information necessary to replicate this historical and amazing machine!

* NEW RELEASE * John Bedini’s Self-Recharging Motor by Peter Lindemann, DSc

John Bedini's Self-Recharging Motor by Peter Lindemann, DSc
John Bedini’s Self-Recharging Motor by Peter Lindemann, DSc

Last year, Peter Lindemann demonstrated a self-recharging system invented by Carlos Benitez, which is the apparent origin of self-recharging battery systems.

This year, Peter demonstrated a method John Bedini used to keep a battery bank charged up while running his monopole motors. The method had been mentioned in the past in online forums, but nobody seemed interested enough to actually explore the reality to it.

Go here to learn more: https://emediapress.com/shop/john-bedinis-self-recharging-monopole-motor/

I personally witnessed this method nearly 20 years ago at one of John’s shops affectionately nicknamed the “Palace” because of its interesting interior layout. Below is a picture of the EXACT machine that John Bedini accomplished this with. I also include a 12 minute video where I show you the machine in a video and give a basic explanation of the self-recharging process.

John Bedini Self-RunnerIt was done most often with a plexiglass rotor where the coils were on both sides of the face of the rotor rather than at the circumference. It charged a large cap bank, which was then discharged to output bank. A battery was then shuttled back and forth between the front and back indefinitely without ever having to place them on a regular charger to charge them up since the machine and its setup accomplished this.

This demonstration unit that Peter showed kept its battery bank charged up all throughout the conference one one single charge. During the presentation, the monopole is running and he describes how the battery bank is arranged.

Self-Recharging Battery Supply of Carlos F. Benitez by Peter Lindemann, D.Sc.

The Self-Recharging Battery Supply of Carlos F. Benitez by Peter Lindemann, D.Sc.
The Self-Recharging Battery Supply of Carlos F. Benitez by Peter Lindemann, D.Sc.

NOTE: This machine was demonstrated at the 2018 Energy Science & Technology Conference (ESTC) but there was no formal presentation. It was only explained to attendees who were interested enough to ask Peter Lindemann questions about it back in the vendor/demo room. This machine is a very small powered demonstration, but proves the point and kept itself charged up all weekend while running a motor/generator. This EXACT circuit from 100 years ago is the foundation for several well-known circuits that have been taught by John Bedini and others over the years – you are being handed the origin of where much of it came from.


Between 1915 and 1918, Carlos F. Benitez was issued 4 British Patents on a “System for the Generation of Electric Currents.” It was the early days of the “electrical era” and many experimenters were claiming new ways to produce useful electrical effects. But this was different. Benitez was claiming to be able to run light bulbs and motors from batteries that never needed to be re-charged from a conventional, external source.

By this time, the Laws of Thermodynamics had become widely taught, and so most electrical engineers did not take these claims seriously. Even today, 99% of scientists and engineers believe this is impossible, under any circumstances.

Here’s why: Classic electrical theory assumes that when a load is operated in the manner shown here, the load RL receives ½ of the power provided by the 12 volt supply, and the 6 volt battery wired in reverse receives the other half as a charging effect. Since the battery being charged only receives ½ of the energy supplied by the source, rotating the batteries back and forth runs them all down in a conventional manner.

Get your copy now: https://emediapress.com/shop/self-recharging-battery-supply-carlos-f-benitez/

So, it is curious to find this quote in one of Benitez’s Patents:

“Obviously the current furnished by the discharge of battery 1-2 alone, would produce a smaller charge in batteries 3-4, if some extra energy were not added to the normal output of said battery 1-2. With this object in view any of the known methods for the generation of high frequency currents, as well as those described in the aforementioned English Patents, can be employed in conjunction with said batteries, in order to provide that complementary energy, and in this manner it is always possible to charge and discharge alternately each battery from one to the other, maintaining constant a storage of electricity and producing furthermore an excess of electrical energy.”

On the Patents, Benitez is referred to as a civil engineer, living in Guadalajara, Mexico. So, while he may not have been earning his living in the electrical sciences, he certainly was familiar with both classic electrical theory and the benefits of his discoveries!

For any honest student, the questions become: Was Benitez mistaken, or did he discover something important? And if so, HOW is this possible??

Benitez was issued 4 Patents, and each one describes a different circuitry and method to accomplish the objects of the invention, which included running external loads AND returning the electrical source to its initial state of charge simultaneously. Since there was no dispute about how much energy was being dissipated by running the loads, the following conclusion may be drawn:

Benitez discovered that it was possible to return a battery to a higher energy state with fewer watt-hours delivered to it than classic electrical theory would predict, as long as that energy was applied to the battery under the correct conditions and in the proper manner.

Today, we would describe this as the ability to charge a battery at a COP > 1.

As John Bedini always said, the “gain” showed up in the battery. The circuits themselves always operated at an efficiency below 100%.

If we assume that in the circuits that had two banks of batteries in them, the charging batteries were receiving about ½ of the energy provided by the run batteries, then the circuitry had to overcome the loss of running the loads and the loss of running the circuitry itself. In this instance, the system would have to be able to produce a charging effect in the receiving batteries equal to 2.2 times the watt-hours provided, or a charging COP > 2.2 for the system to self-sustain indefinitely.

So, the GOAL for an operating system is to attain a battery charging efficiency with a COP > 2.2!

That said, there are other ways to accomplish the goals of the invention, but “super-efficient” battery charging is definitely one of the ways. For students familiar with the work of John Bedini, this method is the best documented and published on, as well.


NOTE: This presentation gives you the EXACT schematic to replicate Peter Lindemann’s circuit that he demonstrated at the 2018 ESTC, operating theory, supporting diagrams and complete explanations of how to operate it. Also, there are multiple URL shortcuts inside the zip file that are highly relevant to this technology. Some are to other presentations and some are to specific discussions at Energetic Forum.

Zero Force Motor Part 2 – Hidden Dance by Yaro Stanchak

Zero Force Motor Part 2 - Hidden Dance by Yaro Stanchak
Zero Force Motor Part 2 – Hidden Dance by Yaro Stanchak

At the 2018 Energy Science & Technology Conference, more revelations are disclosed about the last one year of experiments with the Zero Force Motor.

Within this follow up presentation, you will find all the specs, which should be considered a standard built for more experiments to get start with. It works and has already been proven out by Yaro Stanchak and James McDonald.

Yaro also shares the differences in more detail on attractive vs repulsive mode and how this looks diagrammatically so the viewer can benefit from these findings. A thorough walk-through on the Zero Force Motor’s timing characteristics of the magnet’s geometry in relation to the coil geometry is covered. This is very important and cannot be stated enough – timing is crucial and can make or break your results.

Get your copy now: Zero Force Motor – Hidden Dance

Get 25% off for a limited time with this coupon: ZFM25

Keep in mind this is a developmental process and there are no free energy claims. It is a novel motor with unique aspects that have not been used or exploited in conventional motors and bit by bit, the potential of what this machine is capable of is slowly revealing itself.

Pay close attention to the date in the table presented by Yaro. You may find there is more than meets the eye. And you will definitely see that at certain RPMs, which may indicate some resonant points that you will see the Hidden Dance happening within the machine as Yaro shows on the scope.

There is also a difference in the characteristics of how the motor operates in relation to its waveforms that are measurable if the ZFM is running on a battery compared to a linear current power supply. In other words, there appears to be advantages to running it on a battery compared to a power supply. Professor Robert Haralick during questions points out a very plausible reason for this and that is that when running, the ZFM is producing longitudinal waves that are accepted by the battery(s) but the linear amp power supply cannot.

This would be completely consistent with John Bedini’s experience over the years with experiments on the Bedini SG when running on and charging batteries, which have shown unusual input vs output ratios and most of this disappears when running these machines on conventional power supplies. It has been stated over the years that the battery is very important as part of the open system and once again, these ZFM experiments shown by Yaro seem to indicate the same results.

Here are a few of the subjects that Yaro will show in this presentation:

  • Introduction and Brief Review Of Zero Force Motor Design and Operation
  • ZFM Timing and Firing Duration with Coil Voltages
  • ZFM Operational Characteristics; RPM, Amps & Efficiency
  • Review of O-Scope Wave Forms for Voltage and Amperage
  • Hidden Dance
  • Ron Cole ZFM Variant – LCF or Linear Counter Field

Enough! Time to get back to the next round of ZFM experiments…

2018-05-24 Geoffrey Miller on Missing John Bedini Video

Geoffrey Miller recently shared a few tidbits about the Missing 1984 presentation by John Bedini. Here is the interview with a few pics from the presentation that will give you a glimpse into what is coming out soon!

This is a * MUST HAVE * video that is not only historical and RARE as hen’s teeth, it is highly valuable and the material that John covers is absolutely priceless. You will see John Bedini in a completely unrestrained form unlike anything you have ever seen from him. He holds back on nothing and is completely forward and blunt about each and every claim he makes.
