[Vo]:Books by Mallove and Beaudette in Kindle format

[Jed Rothwell]

We recently converted the books by Mallove and Beaudette into Kindle format:

https://www.amazon.com/Fire-Ice-Searching-Behind-Fusion-ebook/dp/B06XF7SF16/ref=sr_1_1

https://www.amazon.com/Excess-Heat-Cold-Fusion-Prevailed-ebook/dp/B06VTH3TTF/ref=sr_1_3

These are important books. Everyone interested in this field should read
them.

If you find an error in one of these, please contact me.


The second book by Ed Storms is available in Kindle format, but not the
first one:

[Vo]:Interesting Holmlid paper

[Jones Beene]

Here is a 25+ year old paper from Leif Holmlid, which turned up on 
another forum. It is easy to ignore, but if it represented a robust 
effect of hydrogen with graphite at the femtoscale - it would rank as 
one of his most important. OTOH, he has probably forgotten about it and 
probably got the explanation wrong to boot.


http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/030101049280080F?via%3Dihub

Assuming that this reaction was robust on scale-up (admittedly not 
expected) there is an energy application which is elegantly simple and 
should be mentioned. But as we know, scale-up of quantum reactions is 
the exception, not the rule. The suggested application is low tech... as 
in a converted piston engine.


In the old experiment, hydrogen goes into an excited state in contact 
with graphite at 1400 K or less. This may also happen in LENR (e.g. 
Cravens' NIWeek and Mizuno phenanthrene). A detector finds a signal 
which gives Arrhenius plots with a slope of 1.3 eV. Quote: "It is shown 
that this type of temperature variation cannot be due either to electron 
emission, alkali atom or ion desorption or emission of excited alkali 
states from metal or graphite surfaces, since these processes have much 
larger activation energies." END


Obviously, the energy is too low to relate to Mills' Rydberg multiples. 
However, the temperature equivalent of 13,000 degrees means that it 
could be useful for a closed cycle gas conversion cycle, on scale up, 
possibly a hybrid thermodynamic cycle.


As for theory, this is not LENR or Millsean and it hints at some kind of 
Dirac/Hotson interaction with the epo field, which is the quantum vacuum 
(quantum foam or aether). This epo field can be thought of essentially 
as a superfluid with an internal binding energy of 6.8 eV yet not 
"located" in our 3-space, except on a very short time scale. A proton 
induced bleed-over into 3-space from the Dirac field in "reciprocal 
space" could show up as 1.3 eV and a COP= ~9.


As for the possible application, a piston engine would be a good fit 
since you want thermal pulsation at modest trigger temperature and a 
complete avoidance of chemical reactions with carbon. This should be a 
closed-cycle, hydrogen-filled engine, with the simple modification of a 
piston crown coated with graphite. Given what we know today, it is 
likely that graphene would function better, but Holmlid did not have 
easy access to graphene in 1992. The carbon must be kept relatively cool 
to avoid chemical reaction, if that is possible - making pulsation the 
only viable method. Thus a hybrid Brayton/Otto closed-cycle is possible.

The persistent human tendency to hoard and look out for one's own and one's
narrow interests makes me exceedingly pessimistic that exhortations to the
AI masters to do the right thing will be effective.

My organic model came with such; however, I had no control over which

Early on, Alexa would either respond with either no response or "I didn't
understand your question."  Eventually I got a "Thank You" and even a "My
Pleasure".  Then came the unacceptable "No Problem".

My feedback was similar to the language Watney used when he heard they had
not told the Aries III he survived.

"Thank You" is back.

Blaze - when do you see the advanced version of Siri, the intelligent 
personal assistant who is free to roam the internet and learn on its 
own, arriving? This would be a more realistic version of the premise 
behind the film "Her"... or... is something else on the horizon for 
early AI ?

It does not seem any worse to me. The price is right! I do not make much
direct use of it, but I have not seen anything worse than the old versions.
Windows is burdened with the need for backward compatibility. Without it,
users may say as this:

[Blaze Spinnaker]

As someone who works in the AI industry at a fortune 100 company, I can
assure you the Singularity is arriving.  Most of humanity is rapidly
becoming a 2nd class citizen.   I am skeptical that we will get AI that can
build AI, but I am confident that we will have AI, plus those who control
the AI, and then everyone else.   I hope to be in the former group and my
intention is to encourage my fellows not to take advantage of those in the
latter.
