*** Resend of last partial email *** Jones, By a nonsingular potential, he means that the 1/r term must be incorrect as r --> 0. I have not read his theory so I have no opinion.
The "De Haas-van Alphen effect" is a new one for me. Interesting. I need to research it. Whether it relates to Williams' theory may be a question you can ask him. His website - 'www.nmt.edu/~pharis/' lists his email address 'pha...@emrtc.nmt.edu' Another one of his interviews is at 'The Space Show' website - http://thespaceshow.wordpress.com/2011/06/10/pharis-williams-friday-6-10-11/ I do not know whether his theories have been put through rigorous experimental tests. -- Lou Pagnucco Jones Beene wrote: >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: pagnu...@htdconnect.com >> >> BTW, a recently published cold D+D fusion patent application is - >> Deuterium Reactor -- US 20130235963 A1 >> >> ABSTRACT >> The Deuterium Reactor is a fusion reactor whose design is based upon a >> non-singular electrostatic required by the quantization of electric >> charge.
