Maximum Potential “Power of the Ether”
Maximum Potential “Power of the Ether” (AMS) — what we can say without handwaving
1) There are at least three different meanings of “maximum power”
A) Maximum power density the substrate can deliver through a region (W/m³).
B) Maximum extractable power in a practical device (engineering limit).
C) Maximum stable power before the substrate or matter coupling catastrophically reconfigures (breakdown).
Here we cover B and C.
2) In AMS terms, the limiter is “how hard you can bias the substrate” before breakdown
If you crank spatial tension gradients too high:
- insulators ionize,
- matter lattices rupture,
- plasma channels form,
- the system finds a low-resistance path and dumps tension violently.
That is electrical breakdown / arcing.
So practical extraction is limited by:
- maximum sustainable AMS gradient without uncontrolled channel formation,
- and the geometry/materials used to steer reconfiguration.
3) The “ceiling” in practice looks like known breakdown regimes
Even in conventional terms:
- every medium has a breakdown field,
- every conductor has current density limits (heating, electromigration),
- every geometry has corona/arcing thresholds.
In AMS terms:
- these are limits on stable, steerable micro-slip without runaway reconfiguration.
4) A conservative takeaway
The AMS may be “immense,” but what you can induce is gated by:
- coupling efficiency to matter knots,
- and how close you can run to catastrophic reconfiguration without losing control.
So the deep question becomes:
- can we discover geometries that couple strongly to the substrate while remaining stable?
Resonant structures (Tesla-style) are one plausible route in this ontology.
5) What would “really big” AMS extraction look like?
It would look like:
- ultra-high gradient control without breakdown,
- very high-Q torsion resonators,
- controlled channel formation (plasma as a tool, not a failure),
- and materials that can survive intense micro-torsion without chaotic collapse.
But any claim beyond this needs concrete experiments and numbers.
6) A good next step scientifically
Define measurable proxies in this model:
- “maximum stable gradient” before runaway,
- “torsion Q-factor” of a structure,
- “micro-slip rate ceiling” before heat dominates,
- “coherence retention” of reconfiguration (clean vs noisy power).
These are testable.
