The ATES model (Asymmetric Inertial Energy Systems) presents a revolutionary perspective: free energy from inertia is possible when we understand inertia not as an isolated property of matter, but as an open dialogue with space. Based on modern field theories, historical experiments, and innovative machines, this analysis demonstrates how asymmetric impulses and clever decoupling allow energy to be "harvested" from the quantum vacuum or ether.
