I read the text but I didn't watch the video (hate videos for information transfer), so maybe this is answered there -- but are we really sure this is supposed to communicate with /endpoints/ (cell phones, desktops, whatever)? Technologically, it would be far easier -- and still useful -- if

Ah, here we are: "With Aquila, we've designed a new aircraft architecture, one that can support staying in the air for months at a time. Aquila is solar powered, and when launched, it will create a 50-km communications radius for up to 90 days, beaming a signal down to the people in that area.

The radiation extends above 0.511 MeV in Trace #7 and this doesn't seem to fit with Hirsch's Theory (i.e., Hole Superconductivity as described in DOI: 10.1088/0953-8984/19/12/125217 ). Perhaps if the electrons were heavy (dressed) it could be valid. I would need to take a closer look. Also,

You seem to forget that Rossi started this fight. If Rossi had not filed the lawsuit, there would be no dispute. I.H. was willing to ignore him and write off the $11 million. I do not think they were planning to sue him. Granted, they were planning to publish the ERV report eventually. Once they

What's your point, Russ? Stringing fibre costs a bunch. This is supposed to reach areas where that hasn't been done and where the funds to do it don't exist. As such, it solves a real problem which really exists; it's not just some conspiracy dreamed up by the capitalists. The alternative

It may be worth noting that “hole superconductivity” may end up being broader than Hirsch’s theory. For instance, Hirsch mentions “ring current” several times in his many papers, which is somewhat of a middle ground between electron and hole superconductivity. In fact, he tries to explain
