ps.
My understanding of the capacitors was that they were required to start
the plasma from cold. Not clear if they are required with the new
liquid silver electrodes.

Ashfield's ignorance of basic facts here is palpable.
Either he does not understand that capacitors store enough energy to
account of the "self-running" of the SunCell, or he was unaware that
Mills power supply contains large caps - as shown in early images
which Mills removed from his site. Either way that is ignorance of
basic facts which explain the lack of a real anomaly based on appearances.
The statement that common CFL lighting does not contain a plasma is
further ignorance. The belief that plasma devices cannot run for very
long periods on capacitance is further ignorance. His continual plea
to stop so-called "libel" of Rossi is further ignorance of both law
and facts.
I am not sure what he hope to gain by these endless and inane
pro-Rossi postings - but it is not respect for his technical ability.
Apparently, since Rossi has made a fool out of him, he wishes to share
the blame, instead of admitting his gullibility. He should be posting
to Rossi's sock-puppet blog - where his views will be appreciated.

Brian,
Neither you not I are close enough to know why Mills hasn't gone
after it. Probably he doesn't need it. You don't know what
conditions are attached to the $1B either.
Of course you assume the worst. Where in every house is there a
plasma again? Mills' plasma can melt large tungsten electrodes but
of course that is no proof of high heat, right?
You asked me if I knew what a capacitor was. Talk about arrogance.

Sometimes it is best to shave with Occam's razor.
Bill Gates says he will invest $1B in any real new source of energy.
Why hasn't Mills addressed this source.
Mills will not allow any discussion of this opportunity, because he
would have to submit to due diligence.
But the mindless followers will argue about IP strategies to avoid
this technological collision.
The people who want to give Mills, Rossi and Godes a free pass have
succumbed to the infinite upside potential in contrast to modest
investment. They cannot fathom the magnitude of a successful
experiment, so the risk/rewards calculations are obtained by
division by zero.

It has never been independently observed, but is often quoted.
If it was true, he could openly demonstrate it operating.

Supposedly the plasma is >3500C. As it runs without any input
power why do you not think it generates any (excess) heat?

Brian,
Apart from some calorimetry on the SunCell in the early days, would
you not think a self perpetuating plasma would produce some heat?
Several (hired) independent investigators also back Mill's claims,
or do you think they are all lying?

Amazingly, even RM offers no data or measurements on this issue.
He could show water flow calorimetry to an accuracy of 50% within
two days of set up and calibration. I would offer to pay for it
and conduct it for him.
Alas, there is no calorimetry offered to the suggestible investors.
The mantra for Mills, Rossi and Godes is: No data = no failure
= ambiguity coupled with enticing potential profits = large
investments while showing nothing.
If they conducted tests and failed the investment stream would cease.

Eric,
I don't feel expert enough to pass judgement. I think that is the
point. Physicists more expert than me can't make up their minds
whether Mills is a genius or delusional. That he can come up with
values for particles that are more accurate than from QM and that
his program can show the position nuclei and electrons for
complicated molecules (proven) suggests to me that it is premature
to be so dogmatic that he is wrong. Likewise there is good
evidence that the SunCell produces a large amount of excess heat,
though one might quibble about the actual value.

Did you take a look at the link I sent? Can you help us to make
sense of those equations? What would be ideal would be an
explicit derivation of the electron-neutron mass ratio, which is
purportedly based on those equations. If you can do this, it
would be a very helpful thing. My strong hunch: it is not
possible, because the Mills neutron-electron mass ratio is ad hoc
and was not derived from them. But your knowledge here can help
to dispel this impression.
