Does 'MY' self-identify as a woo-woo?  As a Believer, crackpot, fringe-

To put it bluntly, Vortex-L is a forum for true believers.

People of the CSICOP Skeptic or scoffer/debunker persuasion are 
tolerated but not welcomed.  For yet another definition of the two types 
of people, see the excellent article in SKEPTIC, V5 #2, Skepticism and 
Credulity: finding the balance between Type I and Type II errors by

B. Wisdom.

The article discusses the philosophy behind two types of mental attitude:

   1. 'Scoffers:' those who, in order to reject all falsehoods, don't mind
  accidentally rejecting truths.

   2. 'Believers:' those who, in order to accept all truths, don't mind
  accidentally accepting falsehoods.

A few rare individuals fall between these two descriptions.  However, 
there is significant polarization as well: whose who are solidly in the 
either the Skeptic or the Woo-woo camp greatly outnumber those who 
succeed in remaining between the two.


I have observed that each highly-polarized camp holds their opponents in 
contemptuous disrespect bordering on outright hatred.  The Scoffers 
regard the opposite camp as dangerously gullible true believers who'd 
allow Science to be damaged by irrational beliefs in such things as UFOs, 
psi phenomena, Free Energy, etc.  And the Believers regard the other side 
as dangerously closeminded pathological skeptics who stifle curiousity, 
block free investigations, and preserve science from the crazy time- 
wasting projects of folks like Galileo, Goddard, the Wrights, Margulis, 
etc.  One side worships at the altar of Khun's Normal Science, while the 
other kneels before the holy Khunian Revolution shrine.


A few years ago the sci.physics.fusion newsgroup was increasingly becoming
a battleground for the two types.  Those who reasoned that we must study
cold fusion because there is some evidence that it is real were
constantly attacked by those who believe we must reject cold fusion
because there is little evidence for it.  And vice versa.  Particularly
shameful was the amount of hostility including sneering ridicule,
emotional arguments, arrogant self-blindness, and great use of the low,
unscientific techniques outlined in ZEN AND THE ART OF DEBUNKERY. 
(See a href=http://amasci.com/weird/wclose.html;http://amasci.com/weird/wclose.html/a)


I started this group as an openminded quiet harbor for interested 
parties to discuss the Griggs Rotor away from the believer-skeptic uproar 
on sci.physics.fusion.  It quickly mutated into a believers forum for 
discussion of cold fusion and other anomalous physics.  I created Rule #2 
to prevent this list from becoming another battleground like the 
sci.physics.fusion newsgroup.  Be warned: if you self-identify as 
non-Believer anti-woo, then you could be removed from the forum at any 
time.  Vortex-L is intended to be a discussion area for researchers who 
have little patience with Kuhnian Normal Science, who practice extreme 
openmindedness, and who will accept falsehoods in order to avoid 
rejecting truths.


I believe that many scientists reject new ideas because they unknowingly 
maintain an illusory worldview which is based on concensus of

2012-02-02 Thread Alain Sepeda
Hi,

someone cited this micro turbine of 5kW for an Hybrid Car
http://www.enginer.us/products/steam_micro_turbine.php
this car lost a competition because consuming too much fuel, but
with LENR it should be OK...
I dod not know that one could make a 5kW (mechanic I assume) turbine that
works well...
maybe the temperature of an hyperion (415 or 650C) is not enough for that
turbine ?
maybe the reliability is not enough for transportation ?

at least the 5kW turbine could be used for CHP, and alike on fixed
devices...

what is your opinion.


[Vo]:ET - Call home

2012-02-02 Thread Jones Beene
Best candidate yet for locating the home of ET is called GJ 667Cc, probably
a mild tropical water world, where a month is a year and it is never dark.

http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=habitable-planet-gj-667cc

 That name GJ 667Cc: what a PR disaster. Let's rename it!

A'dune?  (anti-Dune) actually Dune was formerly a wet planet IIRC...

It is 4.5 times as massive as Earth and takes roughly 28 days to make one
orbit around its parent star, which is located a mere 22 light-years away
from Earth, in the constellation Scorpius (the Scorpion). Interestingly
enough, the host star is a member of a triple-star system and is a dwarf
star about a third of the mass of the sun so it is probably very reddish.

This is basically our next-door neighbor... It's very nearby. There are
only about 100 stars closer to us than this one.

So there are no seasons, no real night, lots of gravity. It is probably
watery, mild temps, no arctic no UV light mostly IR. What do you expect from
advanced likeforms??

1)  Small, due to higher gravity
2)  Hairless due to mild temps 
3)  Reptilian water-proof skin with no UV protection
4)  Small lungs due to high pressure
5)  Possibly webbed appendages due to swamp-like evolution

Yep, we've seen 'em here on earth in myth, since the beginning of time, but
hey that only means the meme arrived here long ago, and not necessary the
physical ET. 

But that is a minor detail to the true believer...

The solar heat possesses... the power of crossing an atmosphere; but,
when the heat is absorbed by the planet, it is so changed in quality
that the rays emanating from the planet cannot get with the same
freedom back into space. Thus, the atmosphere admits of the entrance
of the solar heat, but checks its exit; and the result is a tendency
to accumulate heat at the surface of the planet. -John Tyndall, 1859

RE: [Vo]:ET - Call home

2012-02-02 Thread Jones Beene
Steven, 

The most basic reason that I think Sitchin and other proponents of
physical visitation by aliens (the ancient astronaut bogosity) are
misguided, at least on the issue of tangibility is this. Logic dictates
that any advanced civilization, if they exist at all, will not be encumbered
by our (humanity's) numerous faults, ego-based deficiencies and animalistic
desires. Brutal conquest is out of the question (except in a good SciFi
movie) and thus, if they can transmit information in an intangible but
directed way, why waste the expense and risk of *physical* space travel? 

There is nothing to be gained from a logical perspective by being there in
person, as we may find out in our collective future, Newt notwithstanding.
Especially not if you hold the less controversial view that so-called
remote viewing is not only possible, but can be made robust using
technology. Combine that with directed meme influence and this explains
everything about UFOs and ETs. Controlled Remote Viewing (CRV) is a hot
topic these days, and I'm sure you know more about it than I do, but Puthoff
could be correct on many issues we follow here, and this is yet another one.

The precise logical argument is: when you can direct the information
necessary to produce the kind of change you desire at lightspeed, but can
only get a large and costly space vehicle up to a small fraction of
lightspeed - then the changes you wanted to influence (at the ultimate
destination, including some benign form of 'conquest') would already be in
place long before any vehicle could arrive - so why send one? 

Even benign conquest is accomplished easier from within more so than
from without. Isn't this kind of evolutionary displacement (in the sense of
determining the next dominant species on Earth) exactly what computers and
networks are doing to us anyway ? :) Hello, Matrix.

Finally, from the economist - which option wins in terms of net cost? CRV
plus directed memes, or a manufactured space craft? That is a no-brainer in
terms of cost. There is little doubt that when advanced populations reach a
certain level - everything breaks down to cost. And yes a modicum of proof
could be found soon - that civilizations elsewhere are transmitting meme
information directly to us, possibly to influence such things as computer
development and the WWW. The proof could be found a special kind of data
processor designed for one thing - ostensibly - but which will document the
nature of remote information transfer directly. In effect, it will allow ET
to call on a dedicated line. This could be it, but if not, it's a good
metaphor since it deals with probability:

http://news.softpedia.com/news/Lyric-Invents-New-Type-of-Processor-the-Proba
bility-Chip-152489.shtml

And moreover they have arguably being doing this kind of non-physical
information transfer (which alters a probability field, mental or genetic)
for thousands of years. That is about as far as I am willing to go in the
debate about such things as UFO reality. Yes, they could be real - but
real only in the mind of observers. Like all reality, in fact.

When I change the charge every 6 months, the “old” one is inert (no

Absolutely not, because all the activity inside the E-Cat lasts in 20
minutes, and the shut down time is 1 hour. We have strong evidence of
this made in thousands of measurements. This will be clearly understood
when I will give open explication of the “effect” that is produced in the
E-Cat.
Every E-Cat will be supplied with 2 refill charges, one inside, one for
spare: after 6 months the Customer will make easily the extraction of the
used refill and put the new one, sending back to our local Agent the used
refill; we will recycle it and give a new spare to the Customer, so that
after the next 6 months he will repeat the operation. We are making
inventions by the day on our E-Cat, and covering all by due patents.
Meanwhile the factory with the robotized line is becoming a reality. We

Jones,

As a recovering dyslexic, it can be a challenge unpacking your memes,
especially when you're transmitting at IPv6 and I'm still chugging
along at IPv4.

I seem to recall that we have had similar discussions on the so-called
merits of aliens physically visiting our planet, versus a less-risky
virtual way. First things first. I find little fault in your analysis,
even if might disagree around the edges. You may recall about a year
or two ago I posted several lengthy subject threads pertaining to my
own personal assessment of what our society calls the abduction
phenomenon or the Experiencer Paradigm. I recall quite a bit of
discussion was generated amongst the Collective, and that was a good
thing!

The only reasons I can think of as to why aliens would need to visit
us physically would be for physically tangible reason, like:

* To extract natural resources...
We still have plenty of coal, gas, and oil. Yeah, right! ;-)

* To claim our planet as their own.
You had fifty years to file a complaint with the hyper space hiway
commission, so what are you complaining about!

* Vacation. See the universe!
Have you had your Tetanus, bird-flu, and small pox shots?

* Perhaps a more realistic scenario might be the need to secure
physical samples of our environment for scientific purposes. That
would include genetic sampling.
Newt needs to be probed and then neutered for the future welfare of
the planet.

Jones,

Robotic spacecraft capable of visiting Goldilocks planets, as hard as it may be 
to believe, may prove possible.

Star Scientific Ltd. Claims to be perfecting a technique to economically and 
constantly produce huge quantities of pions. Their website states: “Muons are 
the decayed products of pions, and are the catalysts in the fusion of two 
hydrogen isotopes, a process which releases copious amounts of energy. The 
beauty of the muon is that it acts very much like an electron whose job it is 
to bond atoms together into molecules. Since a muon is 207 times heavier than 
an electron, it bumps the electron out of the way and replaces it. Because the 
orbit of the heavier muon is much closer, it causes the atoms in the molecule 
to draw closer until the natural repelling force is overcome and a strong 
nuclear force brings the atoms together – causing them to fuse. This process 
kicks the muon out to do it all over again some 300 times. This fusion gives us 
energetic neutrons.”

The late Dr. Robert Carroll, a mathematical physicist who worked with Aesop 
Institute for 12 years until his passing, filed a rejected patent application 
for Pion fusion in 1971.  Using Pion fusion, a Pion (Antimatter) Drive, might 
allow spacecraft to carry us far beyond the solar system at amazing speeds.

Einstein’s mechanics allows a Pion space drive to achieve speeds that will 
approach the speed of light. In contrast, Carrollian, non-relativistic, physics 
posits a superluminal Pion powered space drive may approach a speed of 
20,000,000 times that of light.

If he should be proven correct, Dr. Carroll’s lifetime pursuit of an 
alternative physics might open paths leading to technology for robotic 
exploration of Goldilocks planets.

Until there is independent laboratory verification of both the Star claim - and 
some evidence Carroll was correct concerning a pion drive, skepticism is 
certainly warranted.

Steven,

The most basic reason that I think Sitchin and other proponents of physical 
visitation by aliens (the ancient astronaut bogosity) are misguided, at least 
on the issue of tangibility is this. Logic dictates that any advanced 
civilization, if they exist at all, will not be encumbered by our (humanity's) 
numerous faults, ego-based deficiencies and animalistic desires. Brutal 
conquest is out of the question (except in a good SciFi movie) and thus, if 
they can transmit information in an intangible but directed way, why waste 
the expense and risk of *physical* space travel?

There is nothing to be gained from a logical perspective by being there in 
person, as we may find out in our collective future, Newt notwithstanding. 
Especially not if you hold the less controversial view that so-called remote 
viewing is not only possible, but can be made robust using technology. Combine 
that with directed meme influence and this explains everything about UFOs and 
ETs. Controlled Remote Viewing (CRV) is a hot topic these days, and I'm sure 
you know more about it than I do, but Puthoff could be correct on many issues 
we follow here, and this is yet another one.

The precise logical argument is: when you can direct the information necessary 
to produce the kind of change you desire at lightspeed, but can only get a 
large and costly space vehicle up to a small fraction of lightspeed - then the 
changes you wanted to influence (at the ultimate destination, including some 
benign form of 'conquest') would already be in place long before any vehicle 
could arrive - so why send one?

Even benign conquest is accomplished easier from within more so than from 
without. Isn't this kind of evolutionary displacement (in the sense of 
determining the next dominant species on Earth) exactly what computers and 
networks are doing to us anyway ? :) Hello, Matrix.

Finally, from the economist - which option wins in terms of net cost? CRV plus 
directed memes, or a manufactured space craft? That is a no-brainer in terms of 
cost. There is little doubt that when advanced populations reach a certain 
level - everything breaks down to cost. And yes a modicum of proof could be 
found soon - that civilizations elsewhere are transmitting meme information 
directly to us, possibly to influence such things as computer development and 
the WWW. The proof could be found a special kind of data processor designed for 
one thing - ostensibly - but which will document the nature of remote 
information transfer directly. In effect, it will allow ET to call on a 
dedicated line. This could be it, but if not, it's a good metaphor since it 
deals with probability:

[Vo]:Magnetism, the killer and creator

2012-02-02 Thread Axil Axil
*Magnetism, the killer and creator*
**
If cold fusion is based on a superconductive like pairing of protons into a
entangled condensate, insight can be drawn from thoughtful consideration of
superconductor theory as in the following:


http://arxiv.org/pdf/1104.4404.pdf


*Can nothing be a superconductor and a superfluid?*
**

A superconductor is a material that conducts electric current with no
resistance. Superconductivity

and magnetism are known to be antagonistic phenomena: superconductors expel
weak external

magnetic field (the Meissner effect) while a sufficiently strong magnetic
field, in general, destroys superconductivity. In a seemingly contradictory
statement, we show that a very strong magnetic field can turn an empty
space into a superconductor. The external magnetic field required for this
effect should be about 1016 Tesla (eB _ 1GeV2).



In the thread “name that tune” vortex membership speculated about the
principle under test at the DGT lab. I now believe that DGT was testing how
a strong magnetic field can stop a run away temperature excusion(aka melt
down).



The test principle at DGT is to start a meltdown and then stop it by
applying a strong magnetic field.



Cold fusion (superconductive proton supercurrent fusion) like
Superconductivity when juxtaposed with  magnetism may well be an
antagonistic phenomena.



Furthermore, the radio frequency generator may dampen the Rossi reaction to
avoid a over heat activated meltdown when the NiH reactor runs in self
sustain mode.



In a seeming contradiction drawn from reference article, it may be possible
to use a very strong magnetic field to amplify and control the cold fusion
process.

 This can ONLY be said if one knows everything about nuclear interactions,

A highly H or D-loaded metal lattice is not normal, and could be considered
'far from equilibrium', so how can anyone claim an unexpected phenomenon
couldn't happen?

The kind of science story which reports on an unexpected result is becoming
more common now that we're able to discern things down to the nano-scale and
pico-second...  with all that we are able to accomplish, and build, and the

there isn't much to learn about atomic/nuclear physics.  Clearly, there is
still much to learn...

ANYONE who says that LENR/CF is impossible is not a scientist... regardless

Here is a non-trolling shocker: The so called unit at the base of
everything we know as stuff (matter) which is the atomic mass unit
(a.m.u.) is a lie. 

That's right - at least it is a small lie in the sense that after all these
years, it has no firm value when you look close enough. No one at CERN knows
exactly what it is, or how variable it can be, after it is pumped down, so
to speak. It is also a true lie since we now use an assigned value to
define itself (by convention) but it is a lie nevertheless. We give it a
value that is used to calibrate the instruments that detect it so it CANNOT
vary by much.

This is partly due to the inconvenient truth that the atomic mass unit is
not exactly equivalent to an average between the mass of a proton (1.673
10-27 kg) and a neutron(1.675 10-27 kg). Essentially it is a variable within
a close range, so that we overlook the problem of not having a true value.
Plus most of the known universe is hydrogen, with no neutron - so one must
ask - why should it be an average anyway? Plus (HUGE) when you start looking
at raw data - the mass of proton is NOT always the value we suspect without
recalibration - and in practice, the detectors of whatever variety - are
essentially calibrated back to give what is suspected to be the known
value. How convenient. Sometimes they are way-off without calibration.

This all gets back to verisimilitude, as a philosophical matter, but it has
a lot of practical meaning when we begin to dwell on hydrogen energy
anomalies. That is because mass is convertible to energy, and the proton has
such a large amount of potential energy, roughly a GeV, that it can provide
thousands of times the energy of combustion, and still be hydrogen. IOW it
has variable mass within a range and it is not a particular tight range,
when the excess is multiplies by c2.

This also relates to some of the mass of a proton being NOT quantized.
Quarks are quantized but even their mass is at best a wild guess, insofar as
far a firm values go and there is much more there than quarks anyway. More
on that later, but write this off as another level of verisimilitude. 

BTW, the a.m.u. or atomic mass unit is actually smaller than the average
of a proton and a neutron, in practice by 1% or so - since some mass is said
to be involved in the binding energy of the nucleus. But hello ! ... even
that is a lie, since if it were binding energy instead of force, then
there would be a time delineated component and there isn't really. The
proton does not decay (as best we can tell).

More on this in later postings. My angle, as many vorticians are aware - is
finding new kind of protonic nuclear reaction - one that does not involved
very much radiation or transmutation. Working back from results in Ni-H as
the defining question of our energy future - that forces one to reconsider
nuclear and look at subnuclear.

Verisimilitude is a bitch. Pardon my French (or is it Italian) on that one,

If theory predicted that it should run for x hours but instead ran
much longer would it qualify as a true FE device?

 For example, suppose you could build one of these youtube magnet motors
 which actually accelerated and ran by itself ...but its magnets became
 weaker and weaker.  Design it intentionally that way.  It would stop after

Great news, and quite embarrassing for some. Ni-H could arguably to be 
different enough from the original 1989 experiment to convince the public that 
it's new. If JET is indeed demonstrating reliable 10x gains with palladium, the 
question of past suppression is difficult to ignore. What the field needs is an 
MIT press release. It would be a great way for MIT to rise above its difficult 
past. And, to be honest, it would lend great credulity to the claim. It's 
unlikely any mainstream news organizations will take the story seriously if the 
quoted source is a dedicated cold-fusion website.

Hi Robert, I just got an update:

  

the NANOR used in the present ongoing MIT Demonstration is a
ZrO2-PdD CF/LANR solid state quantum
electronic device.

Dear Colleagues

COP = 10, sounds quite fine however it's good to put this in context. PdD
LENR has 3 problems:

weakness (it's difficult to measure)
reproducibility (bad, unpredictible)
ephemerity (it fizzles out early)

In this case- was it a strong effect Watts, tens of watts, can it be
repeated and reproduced, how long it can last?
The information is still scarce. Was it really a
promising effect as say Mizuno's unquenchable
great cathode or Energetics'  cathode no 64?
Lacunary information is not good, it's mental masochism. We need solid data
to be happy.
