The use of food irradiation varies significantly from country to 
country.  In the UK for example, it can only be used for dried aromatic 
herbs, spices, and vegetable seasonings.  The same variation in attitude 
towards such things could well mean that there are very different 
challenges to getting E-cats approved in different countries.

 China, citing... Environmental concerns? Yeah, right.


Once upon a time, I had a great concern about rare earths, mainly
neodymium.  Along with other interested parties, we researched other
sources of rare earth elements (REE).  REE are not really rare.  Placer
mines, eg veins of easily obtained REE are rare.  Placers are not really
veins like gold but settlement sands which are rich in the REE.

The Mountain Pass mine in California was the largest producer of REE from
1965 until it was shut down in 2002.  It actually was shut down due to
environmental concerns.  Thorium and radium are two pollutants resulting
from REE mining.  Mountain Pass will open again this year thanks to the
Chinese.

Today new techniques are being exploited to mine REE.  Toyota Tsusho will
begin production of some REE from Indian mine tailings where India had
mined thorium and uranium.

Our research indicates that iron mine tailings also have a significant
amount of REE and we have mountains of iron tailings.  A secret technique
is presently in the works to tap this resource.  I don't know a lot about
it; but, it grew from an invention which used a high speed vortex to
convert almost any hydrocarbon to usable fuel.  Apparently, it works
somewhat like the isotope centrifuges much in the news lately.

So, while we complain about China's virtual embargo presently, necessity
being the mother of invention, new  techniques could result in much less
expensive REE in the long term.

Oh, it's interesting to note that REE mining grew exponentially in the 60s
due to the need for europium in color television.

 hello guys,

 just an idea:
 Working together on an open source-LENR-device.
 There seems to be quite some knowledge here at vortex, and a couple of
 people seem to  work in their backyard on their own devices.
 This is suboptimal.

 How about that:
 introduce some economy of scale: lets say ten devices, which need not be
 identical, but have a common base, e.g. nano-Nickel, a certain type of
 reaction chamber, hydrogen etc.
 the basic construction could be implemented via division of labour.
 one builds the basic reaction-chamber, the other procures the nano-Nickel,
 the third provides for some basic electronics, and so on.
 It does not make sense to procure nano-Nickel in every individual case.

 I'm thinking of about maybe ten devices, which share a common design, and
 can be freeley varied to optimize the effect.

 The overall concept seems to be straightforward enough, to make this a
 reasonable approach.
 It would have the consequence, that nobody can monopolize the technology
 via patents or secret sausages etc.

 Waiting for Godot in the form of Rossi or Defkalion otr Miles or McKubre
 is starting to go onto my nerves.

 What do You think?

Re: [Vo]:To Spark or Not to Spark

2012-03-13 Thread Guenter Wildgruber
Hi Bastiaan and others,

I'm currently a in a bit of a hurry in my job, so just a couple of lines of 
thinking:

1) I read this study A-study-of-a-sparkdischarge-in-hydrogen-at-atmospheric- 
... which I found quite interesting.
a) the setup allows good calorimetric measurements
b) its is simple

c) It produces about 3e19 H-atoms per second, which seems to be a good number 
and could be up to a distance of ca 40mm before recombining
d) actually, due to the generating process, these must be mostly Ions 
(protons), because the pink light is is indicative of a plasma.
e) at first I was sceptical wrt spark generation, but this one here serves a 
different purpose, more like ignition in a combustion motor, so it is easily 
controlled.

2) idea of a setup (proof of concept-type):
a) use the basic setup for H-/proton generation
b) use a planar layer of Nano-Nickel on the surface of the copper-block, which 
is used for calorimetry
c) direct the Protons to the Nickel-layer via a moderate electrostatic field, 
say 100V/cm, which is easy.
d) measure the amount of excess heat, if there is any
e) use a heating coil to heat up the reactive side, where the Nickel is located 
to some 200-400deg Celsius. 


3) Nickel-powder selection
a) there  are basically lots of suppliers, mostly Chinese
b) particle-sizes offered are mostly in the sub-100nm region, which some here 
consider too small. I do 'nt know.
c) a cheap way to get some compromise-size is this:
http://www.ebay.de/itm/Nano-Nickel-Powder-1217g-N1-200-200nm-Ni-NanoNickel-/310248791616?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0hash=item483c44de40
200nm Nickel seems reasonable to me for a first try. look at it and tell 'us' 
what You think.

4) Nickel-powder treatment.
a) My first intuition is, that the powder has to be deoxydized, by whatever 
method: hydrogen atmosphere at elevated temperatures. I currently do'nt know. 
Maybe its irrelevant, because the reactive chamber is reductive.

5) Spark-generation
a) this should be easy (at least for me) Think TV-tubes which used to produce 
20kV DC.

6) Yes, we should find a repository for non-text-documents.

7) This proposed first setup is intended as a intergroup (dis)proof of concept, 
and not a real working horse, warming one's home or such.
Even if Rossi or Defkalion have working devices, which I have some doubts, the 
process to my opinion is not understood.
My personal aim is, to intergrate available knowledge, and give the 
establishment-academics some boost, to move their butts and do their duty.


This for the first round.

best regards
Guenter

http://blog.newenergytimes.com/2012/03/13/ugo-bardi-andrea-rossi-may-be-a-be
liever-not-a-scammer/ 

 

 WOW!

 

This is a fascinating article. It's well worth reading, skeptical it may be.
Be sure to watch the You Tube videos! Some kewl Kung-Fu  mind games going
on there!

 

I read the article by Ugo Bardi. I thought it was well written, even if I
might have come to a different conclusion in regards to Ugo's assessment of
Rossi's erratic behavior. I noticed that in regards to commentary suggesting
that Rossi has probably deluded himself, the lack of evidence link the
author points to is... well, what do you know!!! New Energy Times! Some
circuitous self advertising going on here on Mr. Krivit's part.

 

I realize this is but a fantasy of mine, but I wish Mr. Krivit would apply
the same Cassandra rationale in regards to what appears to be his current
belief in the infallibility of the Widom Larsen theory as he has applied
towards Rossi.

 

Another fantasy of mine is that I wish Krivit would get back to reporting
the news instead of interpreting the news for his readership. The tragedy
here is that there really is no need to continue an agenda against Rossi.
Rossi will end up either prevailing on his own merits or self-destruct due
to a lack of them. In the end, it won't matter one whit what Krivit
believes. However, the fact that Krivit continues to interpret Rossi's
actions for the benefit of his readers suggests to me that Krivit basically
remains insecure about his own ability to convince them that his conclusions
are the correct ones. Therefore, he continues hammering away with his
relentless agenda against Rossi - as much to convince himself as he does to
convince his readership. That tells me everything I need to know about
Krivit.  It's also pretty much exact same approach Krivit has employed in
the past when he has gone after other individuals he has investigated,
individuals he personally felt were being untruthful or perhaps behaving in
deceitful ways.
