Scalar EM device build plans, rigorously documented.

ScalarForge exists to make Bearden's scalar electromagnetics framework accessible to serious researchers — with complete build documentation, not vague theory.

The problem we solve

The scalar EM research community has been plagued for decades by poorly documented builds, incomplete schematics, vague conditioning protocols, and replications that fail because critical parameters were never published. Bearden's framework is theoretically rigorous — but the practical implementation layer has been a mess of forum posts, out-of-print monographs, and undocumented tacit knowledge.

ScalarForge is a documentation project: we take the canonical scalar EM device literature — Bearden, Sweet, Bedini, Tesla, Smith, Hutchison, Trombly — and produce complete, reproducible build plans with full BOM, winding specifications, drive electronics, and measurement verification protocols.

What we publish

Complete BOMs

Every device plan lists every component, part number, and sourcing recommendation. No hand-waving at the hardware layer.

Measurement protocols

We document how to verify the device is operating correctly — including null tests to rule out conventional explanations.

Failure mode documentation

For difficult builds like the Sweet VTA, we document the known failure modes from 50+ replication attempts and what they tell you.

Calibrated claims

We document what each device's inventor claimed, what has been independently reproduced, and where the evidence base is thin.

Restricted access

Four plans in our catalog require institutional verification before purchase. These are the devices whose technical documentation sits in proximity to sensitive application domains — Bearden's tensor wave framework, the Floyd Sweet gravity neutralization documentation, and the Class IV interferometer specification. We don't gate these to be dramatic; we gate them because responsible publication requires knowing your audience.

Institutional verification is a straightforward process: submit your credentials, describe your research program, sign a research-use NDA. Review takes 2–5 business days. Members receive priority review (1–2 days).

What we're building toward

The current catalog is 18 devices. As the researcher community grows, we'll expand into kit offerings (sourced component packages), build consultation sessions, and a peer review mechanism where completed builds can be submitted for documentation by the research community. The Membership program funds this roadmap and gives members a voice in what gets documented next.
