Abstract. Generators and batteries do not furnish any of their internal energy to their
external circuit, but only dissipate it internally to perform work on their own internal charges
to form a source dipole. Once formed, the dipole's broken symmetry extracts observable
energy from the virtual particle exchange between dipole charges and active vacuum. The
extracted observable energy is reradiated as the energy flow through all space surrounding
the external circuit. The tiny Poynting fraction intercepted by the surface charges enters the
circuit to power it, while the huge nonintercepted Heaviside fraction misses the circuit and is
wasted. So electrical loads are powered by energy extracted from the vacuum, not by
chemical energy in the battery or shaft energy input to the generator. Any EM system may be
asymmetrically regauged freely, changing the energy of the system by changing its potential.
By placing the source dipole in a closed current loop with external loads and losses, half the
free excitation energy then discharged by the circuit destroys the source dipole while half
powers loads and losses. This applies Lorentz symmetrical regauging so that additional
internal generator/battery energy must be made available to dissipate on the internal charges
to reform the dipole. Such self-crippling EM power systems exhibit COP < a priori.
Requirements for COP > EM systems are given, as are recognized examples of such
processes. We also propose the ubiquitous ounted Heaviside energy as the "dark
matter" gravitational energy long sought by astrophysicists.
