It looks to me like he intended it to be a performance test, and nothing

This is why Darden is an idiot, because he signed a contract which says
just this! He accepted a Rossi appointee to perform this 'test', and
signed a contract which forbids him from making any type of independent
evaluation or opting out if he disagrees with the final report. 

His saving grace may be that Rossi is looking like a fraud with the
information we've currently seen; and that may not go unnoticed by the
court.

Yes, you do have a clear idea. The person who told you how Rossi 
cheats is Rossi himself. He said refused to allow anyone into his 
pretend customer site. The only plausible reason for doing that is to 
hide the fact that there is only a 15 kW radiator in there. Other 
reasons that have been suggested are absurd. If there was an actual 
machine in there, Rossi would be paid $89 million for showing it to 
the I.H. experts. There is no way he would fail to do that.


It is obvious he is covering up fraud by doing that. Add to that the 
fact that there is no heat or noise coming from the pretend customer 
site, and it is case closed.




This may be the case, but there's also another valid reason why Rossi 
wouldn't allow anyone to come into this customer site. First of all, let 
me say that I think there's probably only a 30% chance that Rossi has a 
working device. So if I was a betting man, I would give odds. Also, if I 
was IH, there is no way in hell that I would give Rossi 89 million 
dollars unless I was convinced, absolutely, that the thing worked. So I 
don't doubt that the device may not work, and that IH may not believe in 
it, either.


But having said all this, if I was Rossi, I would not want anyone in the 
customer site during the year long trial, either before or after, and I 
would write the agreement accordingly -- and Rossi did this. He wrote an 
agreement which prevented IH from doing any evaluations of their own on 
the device, during this one year test. The reason to prevent them from 
interfering or doing any type of evaluation on their own, is simply 
because the test is going to take a year. If I were Rossi, what I would 
want is an independent evaluation of the device, from which, neither 
side could dispute the results. It is just way too much time to waste on 
another demonstration test for IH. Two years had already passed. The IP 
had already been used by IH to build the Lugano reactor. So much time 
has already gone by, that if IH did not believe the device worked at 
this time, then they should be out the door -- before any type of one 
year test was performed.


From Rossi's point of view, the purpose of the one year test was not to 
prove to IH that the device worked -- but to finalize the deal; to 
demonstrate to both Rossi and IH how it performed over the course of a 
year. This was a test to objectify the results; nothing more. This is 
how the agreement was written, and why I believe that Rossi could very 
well win this lawsuit -- without the court ever trying to ascertain if 
the device works, because the agreement does not depend on whether the 
device works.


So Rossi may be a fraud, but if he's legitimate, then his behavior 
during the test is totally expected.

nothing. They expect him to deliver something tangible at some point,

him to do with the SunCell. However, now if he's discovered an even 
GREATER source of energy, by orders of magnitude, then he can lobby for 
funding for another 20 years.


To me, this really makes him look bad. If he's legitimate, he needs to

the test, to prevent IH from doing their own evaluation, was that it was 
going to take a year to go through the validation process, and  Rossi 
may have wanted something more than an opt-out clause for anyone he was 
doing business with. So they set-up the method by which this device 
would be determined to be valid, or not. They both chose a third party 
to make this determination. This eliminated second guessing, and 
counter-claims by IH by which they could try to opt-out -- and now that 
IH is in violation of the agreement, there is no way I would let anyone 
near the equipment if I were Rossi. The courts will decide this case, 
and if the courts work as I think they do, then the case won't revolve 
around whether the device works. If Rossi were to let someone see the

control had been running a couple of degrees hotter, previously. The 
change-over occurred shortly after raising the power to the point where 
the temperature went above 1020c. The timing couldn't really have been 
much better. This occurred at 2016-04-16 02:00 UTC.

between the two sides, which could possibly have been made less in an 
improved design. Actually the heater wire itself could be part of the

How does one calculate the margin of error  for the temperature?

When I look at the calibration data, I can calculate the standard 
deviation between the temperatures for the entire calibration run at 
1.5%. If I compare the difference in the thermocouples during the actual 
run, then 50c difference is between 3 and 4 standard deviations from the 
calibration, and 60c, (which occured for a few minutes), is over 4 
standard deviations from the calibration.


Is this the correct way to calculate error?

Mats Lewan mentioned this in his latest blog, and I had thought I lost

heat-after-death for almost four hours. I remember seeing someone touch 
it after six hours, and pull back his hand immediately.  To me, this was 
the 'smoking gun' for Rossi, and I find it hard to understand how this 
could have been faked.

The external temperature was between 60 and 85 degrees centigrade."

Maybe they didn't raise as much money as they had hoped. Maybe they did

the installment.





Just to clarify, I am only reading the agreement to make this 
determination. I don't have any knowledge as to what actually occurred 
when IH paid Rossi the $10 million. Considering they now claim to be 
unable to substantiate the results, then this is certainly the prudent 
thing to do after a lawsuit has been filed against them. They also are 
reported to have had two observers during the past year, watching, and 
consulting with the ERV. If there had been a serious problem, one would 
think that they would have made some mention of it earlier. Isn't it 
also true that one of their observers has been making positive remarks 
during the past year, as well?


The agreement says:

"The Validation will be made in the factory of Leonardo within 120 
Business Days following the date of this Agreement on a date mutually 
agreed to by the Company and Leonardo. "Validation" will be deemed 
successful and achieved when the expert responsible for such validation 
(ERV) certifies in writing that during a 24 hour test period the Plant 
consistently produces energy that is at least six times greater than the 
energy consumed by the Plant... and the temperature of the steam 
produced by the Plant is consistently 100 degrees Celsius or greater... 
At their respective elections, the Company and the Leonardo may have 
representatives present to observe the Validation process and discuss 
the testing and its results with the ERV."

I don't know why they didn't close the deal and pay the $89 million, but

I just don't see how it's possible for Rossi to provide 'proof'. No one

They'll question his conflict of interest. They're probably not going to 
know exactly what he did to come up with whatever he says; and if he 
provides a detailed explanation, there will always be questions over 
issues that were overlooked.


If Rossi or Mills has something real, then we'll either have to have 
numerous, high signal, replications, from different sources; or we'll 
have people who've purchased these machines, come out in unison that 
they're all amazed at how much money they're saving. Neither Rossi, nor

To be a little more clear, I don't think Rossi is going to provide any 
proof for anyone, other than his investors -- assuming he does indeed 
have something. This report is probably an engineering report. What he 
needs to know before selling these expensive machines, is the knowledge 
that they are going to perform as promised, and that they are not going 
to break down, or diminish in performance over the course of their 
operational lives; because even if they work as advertised, it would be 
devastating to a new company if they broke down after six months and had 
to have major repairs, or worse, a complete replacement of all of the 
operational modules. THIS is what he needs to avoid.


I don't think there's anything in this report that is going to prove 
anything to anyone, except Rossi; and what it will prove to Rossi, are 
the things he needs to produce a product with a two year warranty.

"Acceleration produces a force. Force times distance = energy. "

I am aware that this is a well-vetted, common equation; but if used in 
this case, then an object accelerating at 1 m/s^2 for 10 seconds, and 
travelling at 200 m/s, with respect to a common point, would require 
approximately twice as much energy as an object accelerating at 1 m/s^2 
for 10 seconds, and travelling at 100 m/s.


As Einstein asked, which one is travelling at which speed? From the 
point of view of the first object, it doesn't know that it's travelling 
at 200 m/s. It sees the common point moving by at 200 m/s. When 
calculating the acceleration of a rocket, one doesn't use distance 
travelled. The calculation uses force multiplied by time. The 
acceleration doesn't drop off as the rocket increases in speed.

“And it is this direct implication that Shayer et al have not yet
answered to, so far as I'm aware.  The conversion of input energy
to acceleration would remain constant, at any velocity.  If 1
m/s/kg costs a whopping kJ, it'll ALWAYS cost 1kJ, whether from 0
- 1 m/s or from 999 m/s to 1 km/s, and hence passing a threshold
beyond which energy is being created as observed from an external
frame.”

I thought that was the essence of why Shawyer’s EM Drive has been
described as a ‘warp drive’ not because of the simple notion that
it ‘might’ reach ‘faster than light’ but that if the energy
required for acceleration remains constant it ‘MUST’ be capable of
reaching ftl speeds.

The super conducting version of Shawyer’s drive that he says is
the real goal/gold is surely very near to hand. That sort of tech
is widely in use in a variety of fields and simple adaptations of
on the shelf hardware could be immediately diverted to build such
a drive. It seems likely this is already underway by Shawyer and
his ilk as they are very ‘coy’ on this topic.

Of course using EM Drives to spin an electrical generator shaft is
a logical useful earth bound tech. There seem to be a whole flock

@Jones - i have no doubt the efficacy of the principle can be

I use the qualifier "effective" N3 violation in reference to a
system in which mechanical (classical) momentum is not conserved -
quantum or relativistic effects notwithstanding.

An EM drive would be such a system.

And as regards conservation of energy, an effective N3 break, like
a real one, creates free energy from the classical perspective.

KE squares with veloicty, so a 1 m/s/kg acceleration from
stationary only costs 1/2 J.   But the cost of that same 1 m/s/kg
is then subject to compound interest as velocity rises - it costs
9.5 J to get from 9 m/s up to 10 m/s, and 95 J to get from 99 m/s
up to 100 m/s.  In short, acceleration costs more per unit the
faster we go.

And if you consider WHY this cost escalates, it boils down to
Newton's 3rd law, and the need for reaction mass.

If however our reaction mass can be quantum or relativistic, ie.
non-classical, then we circumvent this limitation of diminishing
returns - the cost per unit of acceleration remains

Sent: Tuesday, February 23, 2016 7:13 PM
To: Martin Fleischmann Memorial Project QuantumHeat.org

Subject: We. did. it... together.
 
Dear Donor,
During ICCF-17 in South Korea, shortly following the sad death of Dr.
Martin Fleischmann, it became abundantly clear to a group of fresh
attendees that the old approach to science, combined with the
ostracisation of the great minds that had worked in the face of
ridicule, was not delivering on the promise of of what we immediately
called, “The New Fire”.
It also was clear that there was something to investigate and we were
morally bound to do it.
We said that people would not believe, until they could experience it as
if they were doing themselves and so the idea of Live Open Science was
born. That was not enough, it had to be an effort that was free from
commercial or government interests and that result and so it had to be
conducted by the people, for the people. Our journey was made possible
by the courage of Francesco Celani and we thank him profusely.
Your donations played a critical role in realising this vision, but you
know that, what we know you will want to hear is what we have to share
tomorrow.
We have been running and analysing an experiment live over the past
Month. First for us in this experiment were:
- Parkhomov Baking of Ni(correctly done)
- Pre Hydrogenation of Ni
- Proper baking out of cell under vacuum
- Parkhomov pressure
- Piantelli de-oxygenation
- Piantelli 'loading' + proper dwell times
- Piantelli capture analogue
- Use of free Lithium
- Use of calibrated NaI
- Cycles attempting to create nano Ni distillates (inspired by “Bang!”
discovery of dissolved Ni)
- Long Run
You can see that there are steps in there that came about only because
of activities that were made possible by donations. The critical visits
to Piantelli and Parkhomov.
Around the beginning of the month we saw what appeared to be up to a COP
of 1.2, not earth shattering, but sustained and robust and in line with
both observations by others and the Lugano report when adjusted for
correct emissivity. Over the next weeks we tried various bookend
calibrations which supported this finding.
We have said that only two paths would satisfy us:
Statistically significant Isotopic or elemental shifts from Fuel to Ash
Statistically significant emissions commensurate, correlating, or anti
correlating to excess heat
We are happy to tell you that we believe we have satisfied our condition
2, yet of course we’d like to replicate ourselves.  Actually, though, it
goes much further than that. What we will share is that the way in which
we discovered it and the journey of analysis that makes it virtually
impossible to say that Rossi does not have what he claims. It also shows
that, whilst he may have been optimistic in how fast this would play
out, he has been telling the truth, quite openly for years. Not only
that, nature itself has been telling the same story and it told us too.
By the 16/02/2016 we had given up trying to destroy the *GlowStick* 5.2,
part of a long lineage of []=Project Dog Bone=[] experiments. After the
reactor was turned off, Alan shared the remainder of the data files from
the NaI scintillator kindly donated by a project follower called Stephen
(Thankyou Stephen, really).
Project follower and open science legend, Ecco, first took a look at the
data and found some anomalies - one SO striking that we thought there
had been an equipment failure. We did not know the time that the
anomalies occurred and had to wait until Alan woke to explain the time
stamps so we could correlate it with the thermal and power data
published live to HUGNet (Thankyou Ryan and Paul Hunt). 
To our extreme surprise, the onset of excess heat followed the massive
anomaly in emissions and the minor anomalies were during and only during
excess heat. 
This led us on a path of discovery, the sequence of which explains:
The massive count signal discovered by Francesco Celani during Rossi’s
first public demo
How Rossi knew his reactor had started
How the E-Cat generates excess heat
How it self sustains
How it can scale easily
That it is safe
It also showed us how replicators can know they have succeeded in
triggering the New Fire and how to enhance the excess heat.
Subsequent to this, we found out Rossi had travelled the same design
journey and had publicly shared it in the past.
The irony is - this was all being conducted live in the open, including
discussions and graphing, whilst people were distracted with news of the
end of the 1MW 1 year test. Same day…
In the past week we have been checking, cross checking to verify and
this morning we cleared our last serious doubt, again live, with shared
data. Because this is already in the open we want people to know so that
they can start replicating based on what works, moreover, the insight
will allow people to immediately

No. Deflation in 1929 - 1933 was due to the Federal Reserve's response
to a gold run. At the time, the US dollar was still considered to be
gold, and the Federal Reserve was charged to ensure that all federal
notes could be honored. They raised interest rates in 1929 to such an
extent that the money supply which had been expanding for the previous
decade, would decline to the point where they could ensure adequate gold
reserves. They continued this policy for 3 years until Roosevelt made it
illegal to own gold under a WWI emergency wartime act, at which point
the gold run was over. However, even after all gold was confiscated, and
three years of a contracting money supply, the US dollar still had to be
devalued with respect its gold reserves from $20 / ounce to $35 / ounce.
The Federal Reserve created a lot of money in the 1920s and much of it
went into the stock market, driving prices to extraordinary levels,
which had not been seen before that period in time.

Unless Mills is committing fraud, then he's miles ahead of everyone
else. He has an advanced working theory and built everything from it. It
seems that the only thing Rossi has is a strong determination to get
something into production with only empirical experimentation to guide
him. 

One thing that surprises me is that Mills has said that Rossi's e-cat
could not conceivably work. I don't know how he can say this without
knowing what the reactive material is, inside the reactor. After all,
Mills started out with nickel-hydrogen based experiments, twenty years

The patent application may work out well for Mills, either way. If he

would be used to accelerate a spacecraft. He's not siting these numbers as

 E = F x d; F = m x a. E = m x a x d. You have calculated the mass times

 OTOH a rocket would most definitely expend energy just to hover, as do
 helicopters etc. but they also accelerate mass downward to produce the

 (air in the case of helicopters).

 So I think it just depends on exactly how the thrust is generated, i.e.
 how the
 drive interacts with the space-time continuum.

 His claim is 1 tonne of thrust per kilowatt. One tonne of thrust will
 accelerate an object. An object under the acceleration of gravity will be
 countered by the thrust, costing 48 kilowatts of power in the process.
 This
 is not the same as suspending an object by a rope or something. Are you

  Hello!
  
  I was hoping the Vorts could help me with this. Roger Shawyer, at
 minute
  2:56 in this video, claims that the next generation EM Drive could
  generation 1 tonne of thrust per kilowatt of power. This means that a 1
  tonne car should be able to hover above the ground for the price of one
  kilowatt. However, my calculation shows that to be about 48 times a
  theoretical maximum.
  
  Here is the video where he makes the claim at 2:56.
  
  http://tinyurl.com/ko5v6h7
  
  But here is my calculation for a theoretical maximum, calculated two
  different ways:
  
 -
  
 A joule is a watt-second
 -
  
 A watt is a joule / second
 -
  
 The power required to hover an object is the same power required to
 increase the speed of the object from rest, in a weightless
  environment, to
 9.8 m/s in one second. We know this because the pull of gravity is
 9.8
 meters/second2.
 -
  
 The kinetic energy in an object travelling at 9.8 m/s = 1/2 * m *
 v2.
  So
 for a car of 1000 kg, the energy = 1000 / 2 * 9.82 = 48,020 joules
 = 48
 kilowatts to do this in one second.
 -
  
 This power should be 1/2 the power to raise an object of the same
 mass,
 to a height of 9.8 meters in one second, since it would require
 twice
  as
 much energy to do this.
 -
  
 The formula to determining how much energy it takes to raise
 something
 to height = E = m * g (gravitational constant) * h = 1000 * 9.8 *
 9.8 =
 96,040 watts-seconds = 96 kilowatts to do this in one second. So it
  agrees
 with the previous result.
  
  So, I don't understand how any device could hover an object with the
 mass
  of a tonne for less than a theoretical 48 kilowatts. Any thoughts on
 this
  would be appreciated.

2015-05-10 Thread Craig Haynie
Thanks Robin. You're right. He does say that this force of 1 tonne per
kilowatt is for 'static thrust'.

I found an answer from the website. He is referring specifically to a
'static thrust', not used to do work.

The static thrust/power ratio is calculated assuming a superconducting
EmDrive with a Q of 5 x 109. This Q value is routinely achieved in
superconducting cavities. Note however, because the EmDrive obeys the law
of conservation of energy, this thrust/power ratio rapidly decreases if the
EmDrive is used to accelerate the vehicle along the thrust vector. (See
Equation 16 of the theory paper). Whilst the EmDrive can provide lift to
counter gravity, (and is therefore not losing kinetic energy), auxiliary
propulsion is required to provide the kinetic energy to accelerate the
vehicle.

 even a
 simple spring, which will happily create a constant force, without

 What I am trying to say is that the power requirement that he gives, is
 for a
 device doing no work. If it has to do work as well, then the power
 requirement
 will increase accordingly.

 Consider for a moment the ultimate form of the drive, which is constructed
 from
 a perfect superconductor with a consequent infinite Q. As the Q increases
 so
 does the force. Or looked at from a different perspective, the power
 requirement
 to obtain a given force decreases as the Q increases. IOW in a perfect
 device,
 the power requirement would approach zero (as long as no additional work
 need be
 done). Which is exactly what a spring does. (And also a current in a
 superconducting loop BTW.)


 BTW, IIRC (it was some time ago that I read this) he does say somewhere
 that the
 power consumption changes as work is done, and that consequently the
 limits on
 the input power also limit the amount of work that can be done.

 Note also that the tests to date, have been done on stationary devices,
 i.e.
 anchored to the work bench, so that they could not move (as I understand
 it),
 and hence did no work.

[Vo]:Nextgen EM Drive's Potential seems way above the Theoretical Limit

2015-05-10 Thread Craig Haynie
Hello!

I was hoping the Vorts could help me with this. Roger Shawyer, at minute
2:56 in this video, claims that the next generation EM Drive could
generation 1 tonne of thrust per kilowatt of power. This means that a 1
tonne car should be able to hover above the ground for the price of one
kilowatt. However, my calculation shows that to be about 48 times a
theoretical maximum.

Here is the video where he makes the claim at 2:56.

http://tinyurl.com/ko5v6h7

But here is my calculation for a theoretical maximum, calculated two
different ways:

   -

   A joule is a watt-second
   -

   A watt is a joule / second
   -

   The power required to hover an object is the same power required to
   increase the speed of the object from rest, in a weightless environment, to
   9.8 m/s in one second. We know this because the pull of gravity is 9.8
   meters/second2.
   -

   The kinetic energy in an object travelling at 9.8 m/s = 1/2 * m * v2. So
   for a car of 1000 kg, the energy = 1000 / 2 * 9.82 = 48,020 joules = 48
   kilowatts to do this in one second.
   -

   This power should be 1/2 the power to raise an object of the same mass,
   to a height of 9.8 meters in one second, since it would require twice as
   much energy to do this.
   -

   The formula to determining how much energy it takes to raise something
   to height = E = m * g (gravitational constant) * h = 1000 * 9.8 * 9.8 =
   96,040 watts-seconds = 96 kilowatts to do this in one second. So it agrees
   with the previous result.

So, I don't understand how any device could hover an object with the mass
of a tonne for less than a theoretical 48 kilowatts. Any thoughts on this
would be appreciated.

Re: [Vo]:Nextgen EM Drive's Potential seems way above the Theoretical Limit

2015-05-10 Thread Craig Haynie
His claim is 1 tonne of thrust per kilowatt. One tonne of thrust will
accelerate an object. An object under the acceleration of gravity will be
countered by the thrust, costing 48 kilowatts of power in the process. This
is not the same as suspending an object by a rope or something. Are you
suggesting that there is no theoretical limit as to how much power, applied
as thrust,  is needed to suspend an object weighing a tonne? Or are you
suggesting that my math is wrong and that there is a lower number? If the
number is lower, then how do you arrive at it?

 Hi,

 It doesn't cost any energy at all to support a car. The ground does this
 just
 fine with no energy expenditure. E = F . d. If d = 0, then E = 0.
 I'm not sure how this applies to an EM drive (if at all), but perhaps it
 needs
 to be taken into consideration?

Re: [Vo]:Re: CMNS: replication results coming later

2015-04-03 Thread Craig Haynie

 
 My opinion is that this was the best documented, reported, and
 instrumented Parkhomov replication experiment to date.  There are sure
 to be better experiments to come, but lets give Alan his due for
 putting together a good experiment.
 
Hear, Hear!

My comments sounded more negative that I meant them. The thrust of my
comment is that replication is a difficult process and quick positive
results should not be expected.

 MFMP didn't show COP1, with the dog bone test,  last night


It was a bit more disappointing than that. They didn't seem to have a
clear understanding of the protocol. They leveled the temperature at 855
C, initially; then decided it should be leveled at 875 C. Then they
decided to raise it more, to an unspecified number. Meanwhile, the
peanut gallery was saying that the reaction didn't even start until the
outside core temperature was near 1200 C, and that the only constraint
was that nickel melted around 1455 C. 

They were also using a nickel powder for fuel which was not to spec, but
this was understood before the run.

Learning how to replicate a known phenomenon is a learning process all
by itself. I can only imagine that several more tests will need to be
done, and that Parkhomov will need to be consulted, before this team has
a chance of success.

 Dear Craig,

 For this new experimental setup, it will be a presentation Thursday, March

 I think you have the papers published by Alexander till now, isn't it?
 What is especially interesting you?

They just ran a test with a live rossi core, and the reactor exploded 
and broke just as it entered the range where they were expecting the 
LENR effect to begin. Temp was around 1010C or thereabouts, around 3:45 
on the clock.

So, the test is over. No good result.
