Re: [Vo]:How can the Wikipedia process be so good if does not work?
The rules/policies are absolutely ok when applied by editors with common sense or for non-controversial articles. For articles on controversial topics a group of editors will feel that they have to protect the article from evil POV pushers. They have a mission: Wikipedia must not expound fringe ideas In some cases they do the right thing by deleting really bad sources, but they have simply lost any form of perspective, they overshoot, some willingly, some unwillingly. They turn the article into a dark alley where only they rule. There is no way to evolve an article in such atmosphere. Those who tried all got blocked or banned, as there will always be a reason to ban an editor. polite POV pushing is suffient. Uninvolved editors who really enjoy working on wikipedia stay away from controversial articles. Wikipedia is based on consensus and just as crooks in a dark alley the editors will have reached a consensus to misuse the rules/policies. Example: The indian scientific journal current science was dismissed by one editor as not reliable source, because they had published a paper by Steven Krivit and it was argued that their peer review is not done properly and that the journal is not significant. The atmosphere is already so devoid from common sense that such a argumentation is simply accepted by fellow editors, just to keep a paper from being mentioned in the article. Wikipedia fails with the set of editors that make up the consensus.

They are not followed because the users who understood them gave up pushing the boulder up the hill and watching it roll back again. . . . I do not see how a set of rules can be fantastic when they are routinely ignored. A rule is only fantastic when it is enforceable. The rules lead to many problems: Users who persisted in insisting on policy, against the desires of any kind of cabal or informal collection of editors pushing a particular point of view . . . That is, the Arbs know how to be administrators, they all come from that, but they don't know how to *manage* administrators. They are chosen by popularity, not for management skills, and Wikipedia overwhelms even the best of them. It seems to me you need rules that people can live with and that do not overwhelm even the best administrators. Rules that result in people being overwhelmed need revision. The larger community *does* support the guidelines and policies, the cabals attempt to subvert them and even sometimes openly oppose them. If the larger community supports these things, why are they not enforced? Is there no enforcement mechanism? In that case the rules are inadequate. Look, want to accomplish something on Wikipedia? No, I hope it withers away. Maybe what Abd has in mind here is that the rules are good and with a little tweaking they would work. It seems to me these rules were invented for Wikipedia. They do not work well because they are novel. I am conservative. I think it is better to apply old rules that were invented for conventional media and for conventional academic forums, such as the rules used to run physics conferences.

This is a perfect case-in-point for the situation described in Institutional Incompetence, Conspiracy Theories and Pol Pothttp://jimbowery.blogspot.com/2011/07/institutional-incompetence-conspiracy.html : Part of the problem is that almost all institutional incompetence derives from faulty incentive structures, so it is easy to impute to the critic the claim that such incompetence is not incompetence at all but, rather, is self-interest. The critic is hard-pressed to deny this (except insofar as such self-interest is unenlightened hence incompetent in that meta-sense) and is thence imputed to theorize a conspiracy of self-interested individuals as the basis for the maintenance of the institutionalized incompetence. Again, the critic may not have put forth nor even have thought of such a theory but he is hard-pressed to disprove that a conspiracy -- in some sense -- is at work so he cannot very well vigorously deny such a theory. This vulnerability of the critic is then viciously attacked. This all goes on within a subtext of the conversation so it is a rare critic that recognizes how the burden of proof has been shifted from the institutionally incompetent needing to prove that the critic has theorized a conspiracy (which, of course, would require defining conspiracy) to the critic needing to prove that such a conspiracy (the definition of which is, after all, in the mind of the institutionally incompetent) is clearly out of the question despite the vagueness of the term multiplied by the lack of information with which to support or deny even a clear definition. So, the institution of Critics are crazy people. successfully defends all institutional incompetence.

Re: [Vo]:Perpetual motion machine. New idea!
On Sun, Sep 9, 2012 at 12:48 AM, Jouni Valkonen jounivalko...@gmail.com wrote: Hello, there was some discussion about this alleged perpetual motion machine. It was elegant, perhaps too elegant, and therefore it is probably a fake. Evolution of perpetual motion http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqG-TL0WnjE The idea is however simple and understandable and I refuse to believe that it is impossible, because I do not see how it could violate the quantum mechanics and the conservation of information. what is the conservation of information? As we know, that it based on improved version of SMOT (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Magnetic_Overunity_Toy). SMOT itself is a failed perpetual motion machine, because no one has managed to return the iron ball back to the starting square. Therefore, no energy is created and friction will win. However I developed a magnetic switch that can be applied to weaken the starting point magnetic field by 20%. Therefore rotational energy should be enough to overcome the sticking point. And when sticking point is behind, magnets are again switched on by heating and new revolution is started with full force. As we discussed earlier, it takes about 360 mJ energy to align dipoles and magnetize 1 cm³ neodymium magnet. On the other hand, when magnet is demagnetized 360 mJ heat is released. The alignment process itself is just normal information processing that does not consume energy more than is required to account entropy. We can demonstrate that demagnetization is exothermic reaction if we are heating magnet to curie temperature, because it will take 360 mJ less energy than heating similar non-magnetized body to curie point. Demagnetization does not take energy, but it releases energy. Therefore we can use cooling as rudimentary switch mechanism. Neodymium magnets loses about 20% of magnetism when magnet is cooled from -150°C to -250°C. With other alloys this kind of 'phase transition' could be more prominent that changes the crystal lattice structure so that dipoles get even more misaligned. And when magnet is heated back above transition temperature (-150°C with neodymium magnet), magnet is again magnetized as dipole structure realigns. Hence this alignment and misalignment cycle can be fully reversible. This way we could get also SMOT-derived perpetual motion machine working continuously, if we turn off the magnets when wheel is approaching the sticking point. Therefore, as magnetic field is temporarily weakened with flash-cooling, rotational energy of the wheel would be sufficient for overcoming the sticking point (and friction). This cooling and heating cycle does not bring external energy to the system, because permanent magnets do not store energy. Therefore this cooling and heating idea will not nullify the idea of perpetual motion machine, because we do not use that heat energy for doing the work as a heat engine. This is also where magnetism differs from nitinol spring based heat engine. Permanent magnets do not store energy contradicts your earlier statement that demagnetisation releases energy. —Jouni For neodymium magnet behavior at cryogenic temperatures, see: http://www.kjmagnetics.com/blog.asp?p=temperature-and-neodymium-magnets Harry

[Vo]:New paper on cavitation/sonofusion
Cavitation-Induced Fusion: Proof of Concept - Max I. Fomitchev-Zamilov Cavitation-induced fusion (also known as bubble fusion or sonofusion) has been a topic of much debate and controversy and is generally (albeit incorrectly) perceived as unworkable. In this paper we present the theoretical foundations of cavitation-induced fusion and summarize the experimental results of the research conducted in the past 20 years. Based on the systematic study of all available data we conclude that the cavitation-induced fusion is feasible, doable, and can be used for commercial power generation. We present the results of our own research and disclose a commercial reactor prototype. http://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1209/1209.2407.pdf
Re: [Vo]:Compressed spring - what happens to the stored energy at different temperatures?
For my own edification I continued to think about the issue of potential energy gain and loss and I realise it depends on the interatomic forces within the spring. Cooling the compressed spring reduces the vibrations of the atoms in the spring, and allows the interatomic forces to strengthen bonds among atoms and therefore shift them into lower energy states. As a result the atoms collectively act to make the spring more rigid so the potential energy stored in the compressed spring increases. Warming the compressed spring increases the vibrations of the atoms in the spring, and works against the interatomic forces to weaken bonds among atoms and therefore shift them into higher energy states. As a result the atoms collectively act to make the spring less rigid so the potential energy stored in the compressed spring decreases. This doesn't mean I think the principle of conservation of energy is universally true, but I try to understand what I don't accept. Harry
