Andrew Thomas Hennessey is a Scottish author and amateur theorist known for a self-published aether-based "new physics" that proposes free energy can be drawn from a subtle medium underlying matter. He is listed in The Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists.
Background
Hennessey describes himself as an amateur scientist and researcher into ufology and the paranormal, based in Edinburgh, Scotland. Alongside his writing on UFO and paranormal topics he has developed a series of speculative theoretical frameworks that he presents outside the peer-reviewed scientific literature, chiefly through his personal website and self-published documents.
Ideas
In his tract The New Physics – Aether and Chaos Based Environmental Energy, Hennessey argues that fundamental particles are not fixed objects but continually re-emerging three-dimensional standing waves sustained by a continuous supply from an underlying aether. He describes this outlook using terms of his own coinage such as "Tripartite Essentialism" and a "Harmonic Continuum Theory", picturing particles as standing waves at the apex of what he calls a "pyramid of relativity."
From this premise he proposes that so-called overunity or "free energy" effects arise when particles draw more from the aetheric medium than they return, producing what he characterizes as a thermal bath or environmental energy source. These proposals rely on a physical aether and on over-unity energy extraction, both of which lie outside accepted physics, and they have not been published in or evaluated by the mainstream scientific literature.
