Greg Watson started a company Green and Gold Energy.
Claimed to have a wonderful new Solar widget SUNCUBE which was 6 times better 
than old fashioned flatties
Published a firm price and specification, ready real soon, place intent to 
purchase NOW!
Thousands of folks believed it and placed their orders.
Greg then sold licenses to manufacture all over the world for millions of 
dollars.
SunCube never came on the market, NOT because it was suppressed but because 
it was a fake.
Any critics (like me) were threatened with lawsuits, insulted and derided.
SunCube factory is closed.
GGE is all but gone which is why I am going after him personally for bankruptcy.

Can I prove 100% that Aussie Guy is Greg Watson? 
Well of course not, I couldn't prove 100% that the SunCube was a fake.
I couldn't prove 100% that the SunCube was a fake (hence the defamation case)
I can't prove 100% that Watson does not have fairies at the bottom of his

I can't prove 100% that Rossi is running a scam.

If Aussie Guy is NOT Greg Watson, you'd think he would be saying so right now

Didn't sleep much last night. Went for a morning walk along the beach with my

Look, we've had this discussion before, haven't we? It is not only possible, it

You don't even need a PCM for that - but even if you you used one it would be 
just standard technology. All you have is Rossi's word and all your unnamed 
sources (which you trust) have, is Rossi's word. The word of a man you think 
doesn't have any credibility. I see the point that one would have to judge the 
claims independently from the man - but as long as the claims haven't been 
verified independently, you just can't.

I don't know what you mean saying It has been done repeatedly thousands of 
miles from him Defkalion and the guy you know and trust who has seen it 
but doesn't really have more than the word of somebody who still DOES have some 
credibility - at least when given the benefit of doubt?

I'm tempted to invite you to our lab. They're developing a light PCM solution 
which we'll integrate into the coolant cycles of our smaller diesel engines in 
order to help them getting up to operation temperatures on a cold start - 
replacing the voluminous thermos bottle kind of arrangement we've been using 
before. When you hear the numbers you'll probably be totally convinced that it 
must be LENR. Not sure I can find somebody there who's so un-credible as to 
claim that though. What they WILL tell you, however, is that the coolant 
reaches up to 107 C under load. Mind you, it never converts to steam but if you 
used Rossi's math you could easily prove that our diesel engines produce more 
energy than they consume - a lot more - overunity. Maybe I should invite 
Sterling Allan instead.

RE: [Vo]:Keef Versus Greg Watson

Well, Keef - judging from the prior postings here in support of AG (they
know who they are) you may have saved several Rossi fanboys a wad of ca$h
that would have gone into the stock of whatever new investment vehicle
Greg comes up with. 

 

GOW has apparently learned from experience that selling stock in worthless
companies is much lower risk than selling products you can't deliver.
Capitalism protects the pump and dumper pretty well - but not the guy
who takes deposits and does not ship product.

 

Even if Rossi has a hint of a valid technology, a very good scam can be
built on selling manufacturing licenses. According to what you say, this
is the mostly likely way that Greg was pointing, and he had already built a
pretty good base of support for the next PD here on vortex, thanks to being
able to hide behind a false identity. 

 

Anyone who was not suspicious of AG from his early posting is way too
gullible - not to get fleeced sometime in the future - many red flags there.
That is NOT the way real businessmen work - ironically, they are way more
discreet.

 

This is not to say that in Greece, DGT is presently pulling off that same
kind of scam, based on inside connections to AR's scam - even though their
ploy does seem to be to sell manufacturing licenses at absurd up-front
fees .. but given that Green and Gold seems to be a classic example of pump
and dump - it is a fair bet that something like this was already in the
planning stages in Oz, based on Greg claiming to have this special direct
line (horse's mouth in his words) connection to AR. 

 

In the final analysis, it looks like Greg chose the wrong end of the horse's
anatomy to best describes his inside connections :-)

[Vo]:Story of DoD and TE devices of leonardo corporation

2012-01-20 Thread Alain Sepeda

someone have cited this dcument from us army corp of engineer
http://www.dtic.mil/cgi-bin/GetTRDoc?AD=ada432046

it talsk about the experiments with Rossi'es TE devices.

it is interesting because they don't talk about total fraud, but what look
like
optimism and amateurism...


LTI was incorporated as a response to the thermoelectric power generation
 research
 by Dr. Andre Rossi. Dr. Rossi indicated that his devices would produce 20
 percent efficiencies, a vast increase from the current science of 4
 percent conversion
 of waste heat to electrical power. Dr. Rossi believed that he could
 increase
 the physical size of the TE Devices and maintain superior power
 generation. In
 furtherance of his research, in early 2000, LTI had tests conducted at the
 University
 of New Hampshire (UNH), Durham, NH, using a small scale LTI TE Device.
 Over a period of 7 days, the UNH power plant staff recorded voltage and
 amperage readings every 1/2 hr. *The TE Device produced approximately 100
 volts and 1 ampere of current, providing 100 watts of power. *

After this initial success, and a fire that destroyed his Manchester, NH
 location, Dr. Rossi returned
 to Italy to continue the manufacture of the TE Devices. In Italy, Dr. Rossi
 believed that LTI could manufacture more cost-effective TE generating
 devices
 with lower labor and assembly costs. Accordingly, Dr. Rossi engaged a
 subcontractor
 to fulfill the requirements of manufacturing and assembly.
 Unfortunately, the Italian subcontractor was unable to provide
 secondgeneration
 TE Devices with satisfactory power generation. Nineteen of 27 TE
 *Devices shipped to CTC, Johnstown, PA, were incapable of generating
 electricity
 for a variety of reasons, from mechanical failure to poor workmanship.*The 
 remaining
 eight produced less than 1 watt of power each, significantly less than
 the expected 800–1000 watts each. Appendix C documents TE Device testing.
 In an effort to determine, and possibly correct the reasons for TE Device
 failures,
 LTI personnel traveled to the Italian laboratory. *The common theme that
 began
 to emerge was the inability to upgrade from small-scale TE modules to
 largescale
 multiple module TE Devices with large footprints*.* The most fundamental
 reason for the LTI second-generation TE Devices’ failure was the complex
 thermal
 expansion interplay among the various components*. Contributing to the TE
 Device failure *were the large number of soldered electrical connections
 (over 80)*,
 *the inability to match the thermal expansion rates of the mono-block
 cooling
 tanks* to the circuit boards and to the semiconductor materials, all
 within the
 clamp pressure or the retaining hardware in the grip of high temperature
 adhesives.
 After a month of research and observation at the Italian laboratory, it
 was determined
 that the best way to proceed would be to develop an independent laboratory
 in New Hampshire so that two development facilities could work at the
 problems from two separate locations and viewpoints. During this period of
 time, the Italian laboratory continued to deliver TE materials, but none
 that exceed
 the current science of TE power generation.


some lessons learn are interesting to undestand today's situation

 • Many TE Devices were damaged during overseas shipping because they were
 transported using only light cardboard boxes with minimal bubble wrap
 protection.
 The LTI subcontractors were immediately notified of this problem,
 and this issue will be addressed in the future.
 • “Overnight” deliveries to Italy typically require a week or more to
 reach their
 destination due to customs.
 • Communication to the Italian subcontractor was difficult at best. E-mail
 communications were slow and language misunderstandings caused delays
 throughout the initial project efforts while troubleshooting the
 malfunctioning
 of the TE Devices. All possible efforts should be made to work with
 companies
 familiar with engineering and business practices of the United States.
 • Testing TE Devices and wafer materials is a science of its own. Measuring
 the internal resistance of a TE Device or a single wafer pair proved
 challenging.
 (The multimeter applied a current through the TE materials, inducing
 the Peltier effect, which caused errors in measurements.)





(by the way if some one can explain, shortly and honestly what happens with
AG... look like bipolar crisis. about Rossi, he does not seems more strange
that usual and the only serious concern about what he have said or lied, is
about the 12 big-ecat that seems to be irrational, except if they are from
various clients, or just an option if all is ok and it works like a
breeze... all the rest, like DGT silence, or politician lying, is expected )

The problem with Rossi's version of this story is, as near as I can find
out, that nobody credible ever saw, documented or wrote up for publication
the exact test they did on the initial batch of highly efficient, 100 W
devices.  This is exactly analogous to the experiment done by Levi in
February on an E-cat.  As everyone probably recalls, that experiment was
the *only* Rossi demo properly designed to measure enthalpy with a
straightforward and accurate method by obtaining the flow rate of coolant
and the delta T across the device, using an entirely liquid coolant.  The
problem with the experiment is that Levi wouldn't provide Krivit or anyone
else with documentation and equivocated about quality of the data when
asked why in an interview.  That's OK but what's not OK is that Levi and
Rossi never repeated the experiment with proper blanks, calibration and
controls even though it would be simple, cheap and safe for Rossi's
intellectual property to do so.  They've now had almost a year to do it.
Rossi gave a typical tangential and nonresponsive answer about this on his
blog when he was asked -- something completely absurd about how he would
prove the device through sales and not tests.   Well, in the last year, he
hasn't done that either.

Back to the TE devices.  It defied imagination to suppose that Rossi could
have made a sample batch by hand which tested at 100 W for an efficiency of
20% and then could not provide DOD with samples which tested better than 1
W or so with the same thermal input.  If his factory had been destroyed by
fire, if his subcontractor could not provide the devices, Rossi could have
proved them real by making a few more by hand and submitting them for
proper independent testing.  It is also unlikely that the university or
Rossi did not retain one of the original devices.   Rossi never provided
any more valid high efficiency tests -- a parallel with not submitting the
original E-cat for such testing.

I think Rossi never provided 100 W devices to anyone. I suspect it was only
a claim or if the test actually happened, it was another Rossi-engineered
mis-measurement.If such claimed devices were in fact tested at a
university, where are the data?  Who has the original devices?  And most
important, how were they tested?  Is it a credible method?  And why can't
those devices be found, retested and replicated or reverse engineered?  The
best answer is that it was indeed a scam and a deliberate one from the
start.  And DOD, as it often does, looked at the voluminous and highly
fanciful initial paperwork and approved a grant.  I bet they wasted
millions of dollars on Rossi's TE devices and the unnecessarily elaborate
and grandiose test equipment they developed which proved that they didn't
work.

Here is the final report from 2004 by scientists at the Army Corps of
Engineer.  You can see the elaborate and expensive equipment DOD made up to
test the devices and the piddly insignificant efficiency of the devices
Rossi gave them.   One has to suppose Rossi did not final testing or
quality assurance on the final product or he would not have submitted them
at all because they simply did not work as he originally claimed.

Right. But in the US, pump and dump scams get caught too. It's that the
punishment is often limited to a stop and desist order and disgorgement
of the ill gotten funds. The problem with that last item is that the
scammers have often spent or hidden the money by the time the order comes
out. One recent example of a pump and dump that got caught is Sniffex -- a
company which sold dowsing rods as explosive detectors and perpetrated a $6
million fraud in the US. A stop and disgorge settlement was reached in a
case brought by the SEC and the FBI:

http://www.sec.gov/litigation/complaints/2008/comp20645_sniffex.pdf
http://www.sec.gov/litigation/litreleases/2008/lr20645.htm

Unfortunately, the scam continued with the sale of hundreds of millions of
dollars' worth of the worthless equipment in the rest of the world,
especially Iraq and Thailand and resulted in several deaths documented on
Youtube in Thailand and unknown numbers of deaths in Iraq. Prosecution of
the perpetrators of those schemes is still uncertain. The whole dreadful
situation of people who make millions by selling dowsing rods as explosive
detectors in mostly undeveloped countries is continuously documented here:
http://sniffexquestions.blogspot.com/ and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADE_651

A device similar to Sniffex sold in Iraq:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBQEkXkSVd0 and
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWr6NO8YAbk

There was a video on Youtube which showed a member of the military
clearing a motor bike with a dowsing rod, soldiers moving in, and the
bike exploding from a hidden explosive device which the detector failed to
find. Six people died right on film. I couldn't find it so maybe it was
redacted from Youtube for the violence. The still photos of this incident
are here (WARNING: very graphic and violent and may be NSFW):

To summarize, sometimes in some countries, pump and dump schemers do get
their hands slapped and their gains reversed. In most places, even in
egregious cases that result in injuries and deaths, the scammers are not
punished. I think the appropriate punishment for the Sniffex scammers
would have been to place them inside an intense mine field and give them
one of their own explosive detectors to get themselves out.

[Vo]:unpowered test of Ecat

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNhQIufkdL4feature=related 


Fast forward to 6:40

Huge blast of steam and hot water.
What is going on here?

Well, the mains input power has been removed, the cold water reservoir is still 
being pumped through the Ecat and the hot water/water-vapour/steam is trickling 
out and being poured down the drain. Temperature of the effluent (pun intended) 
is looking good.
So far, so good.
Test over. it really looks as though the Ecat has been able to continue 
producing power after mains power has been removed for quite some time.
 IMPRESSIVE!
Show is now over..
But wait, there's more!
The tap is opened and a GEYSER of steam under high pressure erupts.

WTF?|

Simple really, there is a  store of very hot pressurised hot water stored 
within the Ecat that has been heated by the electrical input power, preserved 
by the layers of foil insulation and used as a heat store to maintain the 
illusion of continued LENR power after the electrical input is removed.
The venting of all that stored hot water is the proof of that.

sources of energy.

Right.  But in the US, pump and dump scams get caught too.  It's that the 
punishment is often limited to a stop and desist order and disgorgement of 
the ill gotten funds.  The problem with that last item is that the scammers 
have often spent or hidden the money by the time the order comes out.  One 
recent example of a pump and dump that got caught is Sniffex -- a company which 
sold dowsing rods as explosive detectors and perpetrated a $6 million fraud in 
the US.  A stop and disgorge settlement was reached in a case brought by the 
SEC and the FBI:

http://www.sec.gov/litigation/complaints/2008/comp20645_sniffex.pdf
http://www.sec.gov/litigation/litreleases/2008/lr20645.htm

Unfortunately, the scam continued with the sale of hundreds of millions of 
dollars' worth of the worthless equipment in the rest of the world, especially 
Iraq and Thailand and resulted in several deaths documented on Youtube in 
Thailand and unknown numbers of deaths in Iraq.  Prosecution of the 
perpetrators of those schemes is still uncertain.  The whole dreadful situation 
of people who make millions by selling dowsing rods as explosive detectors in 
mostly undeveloped countries is continuously documented here:   
http://sniffexquestions.blogspot.com/  and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADE_651

A device similar to Sniffex sold in Iraq:  
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBQEkXkSVd0  and 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWr6NO8YAbk

There was a video on Youtube which showed a member of the military clearing a 
motor bike with a dowsing rod, soldiers moving in, and the bike exploding from 
a hidden explosive device which the detector failed to find.  Six people died 
right on film.  I couldn't find it so maybe it was redacted from Youtube for 
the violence.  The still photos of this incident are here (WARNING: very 
graphic and violent and may be NSFW):

secondly, 10,000 cm3 are just 10 liters (not 1,000 liters) weighing

Some isolation and you've got yourself a monster
 e-cat. If you prefer a simpler solution, some dry SiO2 would do it, too. Or
 maybe he used a combination of the two or something completely different
 (though I guess it's purely thermal storage and that's why he came up with
 the pre-heating procedure of something probably already pre-heated when the
 demo starts) - but the point is: it wouldn't even have to be exotic or
 especially clever.  Heck - it may even be nothing like that and all he
 really does is hiding cables or faking sensors or some such thing.
 I know you believe such a simple setup is physically impossible - what I

If it was, then the entire power calculation is screwed up. With that kind of 
pressure the water wouldn't convert to steam (and the hose where the steam came 
out during the demo would have looked dramatically different - 3 bar would be 
enough to prevent boiling at the measured temperatures). Maybe Rossi uses water 
as the isolator for his heat storage - and that isolator water was what shot 
out of the valve at the end.

Re: [Vo]:Lewan Mats says he never thought the reactor shipped

Only if you assume that all or most of the water has been vaporized to dry 
steam - and besides, Rossi could have started the demo with the storage already 
more or less heated up. We don't know. Nobody was there and whitnessed the 
preparations, afaik.

One more thing that doesn't really add up: If you look at the power he's 
putting in and compare it with the temperature building up, you'll see that 
significantly more power is consumed than required to heat the water during 
that phase. Where does it go to? Do LENR reactions genuinely consume heat when 
they start up? And what chemical or physical or nuclear state do they convert 
it to? Or is the heat that's NOT immediately consumed by the water simply 
stored?

I noticed this one (part 1, p 52)
Abnormal excess heat measured
during Mizuno-type experiments: a
possible artefact?
J-F. FAUVARQUE 
Abstract.
Recently performed
Mizuno-type experiments confirmed generation of excess heat but
not at the rate reported in ref. 2 (Sotchi -ICCF13). The main reason for
the discrepancy is now
clear; the bandwidth of our Unigor wattmeter, used in old experiments,
was insufficient for
correcting measurements of highly fluctuating electric energies.

Let us elaborate on the issue of
electric power measurements. In the early experiments, they were
performed by using the Unigor wattmeter. Its readings were shown to be
reliable when the electrolytic
cell was replaced by an ohmic resistor, that is when the current was
constant. But the current in the
electrolytic cell rapidly fluctuated between zero and approximately ten
amperes. Wide fluctuations of the
current, observed with the oscilloscope, were responsible for wide
fluctuations of the voltage between the
anode and the cathode. Unlike the Unigor 390M (bandwidth up to 0.1 MHz),
the Goerz D6000 instrument
(bandwidth up to 2 MHz) is designed to function properly at such
fluctuations.
As seen in Fig. 2 (curves normalized at 200 volts), the measurements made
with the D6000 wattmeter
were very close to the thermal values. On the contrary, the Unigor values
did not agree with the D6000
values, specially in the 280-300 volts region. This explains the
discrepancy between our now results and
results reported in (2). Oscilloscopic measurements of electric energy
were essentially the same as those
performed by using the D6000 wattmeter (even at 300 V, where arcing was
very intense). The previously reported
excess heat was not observed in our new experiments.

I (and others) have called for waveform monitoring of the eCat

the power levels required for an ecat.

Why, just 'cause he's into Joe cells as well?

I like this (from good old Peswiki):  The output of the cell does not

And I like the fact that after you run your engine with a Joe cell for a 
while, the engine catches whatever bug the cell had, and then you can 
disconnect the cell.  I guess you're good to go permanently at that 
point.  Sure can't beat that for gas mileage!


And if everything's done right the cell's operation produces antigravity

some people here started asking to have him make one for them. The whole

reasonable if he had actually done any work on them. The SMOT was not

RE: [Vo]:University testing of the E-cat question asked on Rossi blog

2012-01-20 Thread Robert Leguillon

The only reference that I could find on ecat.com to dispensation of university 
testing was more than two months ago, before Rossi seemed to have disavowed it:
Q: Will you do more public tests of the E-cat?
Asked by Ecat.com 2 months ago

A:
1- we made all the tests we had to make
2- no more public tests will be made, the phase of public tests is over for us 
3- we now are no more making test-prototypes, but industrial products 
4- the tests of our E-Cats from now on will be made exclusively by our 
Customers 
5- all our next work with Universities (Bologna, Uppsala) will not be public, 
but restricted and confidential Research and Development activity.

Dear Ing. Rossi,

I have been told that in your official E-Cat website http://ecat.com/ there is 
the important news that two Universities are already studying and testing your 
E-Cats.

May I ask you if it is real?

Maybe those Universities are in Bologna and Uppsala?

I apologize to be so indiscreet but, as you know, we all are excited and follow 
every fact of E-Cats!!

Kind regards,

Italo R.


Interestingly Rossi published this but did not respond at all so far.  Anyone 
know if the University of Bologna will extend Rossi's contract to test and 
characterize his technology?  It was supposed to expire about now if not 
funded.

Wrong. And if he did clear over a million - and Keef wants to fry him but good, 
ask the tax officials in Oz if he paid his taxes on the $2-3 million. Somehow, 
it seems unlikely that scammers will pay taxes on ill-gotten gains, but he is 
pretty clever at avoiding legal responsibilities, it seems.

The strangest post from him is on a Aussie solar forum - where he warns a

this is the same time frame that he is getting spanked in court by Keef; plus 
it looks like he did not have an attorney then. ROTFL.

No.  He could never have been just lazy.  That would imply he really 
had something real, and just didn't follow through on it, but that is 
certainly not true.  He was dishonest about it from the word go; he had 
nothing which worked.


He was claiming to have a device which violated physical law -- and not 
just an obscure second law violation in marginal conditions, but a 
violation of well understood, extremely well verified laws of how 
magnets interact with each other, which certainly also included a pure 
and simple first law violation.  It was a straight-up type 1 PMM, with 
no wiggle room for statistical violations or ZPE or Casamir forces or 
other possible cheats.


He obviously *never* had a working model.

Yet, he CLAIMED to have a working model (certainly an outright lie), 
which ran and ran and ran (certainly a lie), and he claimed to have a 
videotape of it running for an extended period (certainly a lie).  
However, he couldn't actually produce the tape -- there was some 
cockbull story about something happening to the tape so he couldn't 
show it to anyone, and some bogus reason why he couldn't tape it again.


So, he was clearly a bald face liar, asking people for money for 
something he certainly knew he didn't have.


To suggest that we welcome him back to the list, after he stole money 
from list members, would be outrageous.  (I'm not sure anyone actually 
made that suggestion.)

[Vo]:Greg pokes smot

Clauzon's test of Watson's SMOT28-Apr-09 12:19 am
Ok Greg, I looked at Professor Clauzon's test

http://jnaudin.free.fr/html/smotnrgt.htm

First, I don't know who this guy is but I am looking into whether he actually
exists. It doesn't really matter.

So this experiment is pretty simple. They are simply trying to see how much
energy the ball gains when running through a SMOT. Now, they don't actually
test this perfectly but I won't get into those details.

Lets just jump to the erroneous conclusion. They find that the ball gains
energy from running through the SMOT which is no surprise since the magnets
create a non-uniform magnetic field which accelerates the ball up the ramp.
They find the energy at the input is 3.186 mJ and the energy at the output is
3.610 mJ. The ratio of these two is 1.133. So far so good.

Then they conclude that since 1.133 is greater than unity, the efficiency is
113%.

Huh? Why do they call that efficiency? Anyway, they can choose to call it
whatever they want. The point is that there is nothing going on that is not
explainable by standard physics. The ball is placed in a position where the
magnetic field has potential energy. Since the potential energy has a gradient
(variation in one direction), the ball moves in the direction of lower
potential which converts the potential energy of the magnetic field into
kinetic energy just as physics predicts.

Where does the energy come from? It comes from the fact that you have moved two
magnets into a position where they have a varying magnetic field and dragged a
metal ball against the direction of the field to where it has higher potential
energy.

Could you get energy out of a SMOT. Sure why not? You get out whatever energy
you put in by dragging the ball against the field minus the frictional losses.
It is just like saying you are going to build a water tower and use the water
pressure to run an electric dynamo and create electricity. OK, you can do that
but you need to get the water up into the tower and this requires work or
energy. This can be used to store energy but it does create any more energy
than you have put in. In fact energy will be lost to frictional forces as heat.

So Greg, what the hell are you trying to say? Clauzon indeed proves that the
SMOT works if by work you mean that two magnets put at an angle will pull a
ball up a ramp. But so what? What does this have to do with over-unity or free
energy?

Here is a link where another physicist talks about the SMOT and why the idea is
completely silly.

Rotary Ou Device

Hi All,

Just a short note to
try to answer those questions I can.

1) There is NO
outside power source.

2) The device
contains only ceramic magnet and
ferromagnetic
materials (some balsa, a few
bearings and some
plactic U channel as well).

3) The device
produces rotary torque. Can be
stopped with very
little pressure from two
fingers on a steel
4mm shaft.

4) The device has
been moved to the middle of
my lounge and my back
garden. It still works.

5) The device will
not auto start. However the
energy necessary to
start is only that required
to overcome friction.

6) I don't think the
device is worthy of a Nobel
or my picture on
Business Week. I know of several
other devices
(Finstrud, Gary, Kawai,Bob Shannon's
Barkenhausen Effect
Battery and many US patents)
which show magnetic
devices can do work. For
some strange reason,
we seem to Not want to
believe or
maybe just want to believe in our
own area of research
as the One true path.

7) I have posted
enough details and ideas for
those of you who
REALLY want to duplicate the
device to do so. Read
my postings.

8) Much work still
remains to be able to light
a 1 watt bulb. When I
can do that, I will make
available through
Stephan's and Bill's OU web
sites a Mpeg of the
device working. If I can't
light a bulb, it will
still make a nice toy and
maybe a starting
place for someone else.

9) The magnets don't
appear to be getting weaker
or colder, but then I
am not generating much
power yet.

10) I still call the
effect DNMEC (Direct Nuclear
Magnetic Energy
Conversion).

OOH HE IS A NUKULAR
SCIENTIST NOW..SIMPLY AMAZING!

Like my flux gate
DNMEC effect, both
these effects revolve around
ferromagnetic and
magnet interactions. I believe
the Kawai motor is
another variation of the DNMEC
effect (like the Rod
 Coil we discussed earlier).

Come on guys (and

2012-01-20 Thread Abd ul-Rahman Lomax

I continue to be amazed how *convinced* people
can be by incomplete and inconclusive evidence.
That takes place in all directions and all sides.

I looked at the thread cited. As cited, it's
definitely not a proof of anything, there would
need to be some precedent conditions. However,
those who are familiar with the whole sequence,
or certain critical parts of it, might well know
enough. But that complete evidence hasn't been
presented. The result is that people may believe
what they choose to believe. My advice is to
believe nothing, as to absolute belief. Make
routine judgments as to where to place your
money, your feet, or your reputation, and it's
not necessary to have complete evidence to do
that. But don't present your conclusions as if
they were proof of anything but your own opinion.

Physicists who rejected LENR in 1989-1990 because
it seemed impossible to them may have been making
a decision that was reasonable given what they
knew, and the error was in over-exclusion of
evidence contrary to their beliefs, and
incomplete study of the foundations of their
beliefs. Nevertheless, in those early days, there
were lots of reasons to remain *very* skeptical.

Very skeptical is not the same as certainty as
to bogosity. That certainty never existed with
cold fusion, as to what would reasonably be
considered scientific consensus, i.e., the
judgment of those who became reasonably informed.
Read the 1989 and 2004 U.S. DoE reports and see
if it's reasonable to conclude that there was
*certainty of bogosity.* There wasn't, not even
in 1989, and by 2004, experts, including some
major fraction (as much as one-third) who, from
their comments, weren't going to accept cold
fusion if it bit them in the nose, were about
evenly divided on the issue of some significant
anomaly being involved. The conclusion that
further research was needed and actually
recommended was unanimous in 2004, and that
wasn't -- as I've seen some skeptics claim --
mere boilerplate. In 1989, yes, it was a
politically forced conclusion, the Nobel
Prize-winning co-chair threatened to resign if
that moderate language wasn't included. Smart man.

What's the problem with the conclusion that
Greg and Aussie Guy are the same? The problem
is that if some person, with a created pseudonym,
claims to be So-and-So, on the Internet, we
don't know it is actually that person.
Presumably, from the history, and assuming that
those writing here aren't lying, there is a real Greg.

Yet I have seen, in Usenet posts, for example,
straw puppets, users claiming to be such and such
a person, with such and such views, when the user
was actually the opposite, an enemy, and was
attempting to expose and humiliate.

I obviously don't know that this is the case
here, and my sense is that Keef is right; if
Keef is right, the comments about obsession are
way out of place. When we have rare and unusual
knowledge, that could be important for the
protection of users, we have a special obligation
to reveal this information. Judging someone who
does this as obsessed is downright rude.
Possessing special knowledge is not obsession.
There are other traits that would have to be
examined, and for what purpose? Do we suggest
that users who are obsessed should be booted
from the list? Or that what they tell us should
be discounted as the ravings of a lunatic?

If there are people actually considering
investing with Aussie Guy, these allegations
should be known, so that people can make up their
own minds. Everyone should be aware of how
unreliable information found here and elsewhere on the internet can be.

Mr Bryce said one of the most indicative signals that the technology 
was unlikely to perform as claimed was the presence of a large, 
unexplained blue box sitting adjacent to the invention, which was 
clearly a substantial power supply.


He said Mr Rossi's results from the experiment -- three pages of

set up of the device all suggested it didn't work.


Another concern was waste-water being poured down the drain -- if a

Yes, it rests on the vagaries of QM, but it may carry QM to the altar and
not the other way around. Check out the LENR/CANR site, because you lose

Mystery blue box sank 'cold fusion' for Dick Smith
BY: ANTHONY KLAN From: The Australian January 20, 2012 12:00AM .

Mr Bryce said one of the most indicative signals that the technology was
unlikely to perform as claimed was the presence of a large, unexplained
blue box sitting adjacent to the invention, which was clearly a
substantial power supply.

He said Mr Rossi's results from the experiment -- three pages of data
scrawled with handwritten corrections -- and the very shoddy set up of the
device all suggested it didn't work.

Another concern was waste-water being poured down the drain -- if a nuclear
reaction was occurring that water would be highly radioactive, Mr Bryce
said.

I agree 100% with Mark on this. 

And it is not a fine point. The 'bad guys' are being confused in the dust of
high body count.

Keef - my advice to you - is to get your act together on your real
adversary. It is GOW and not LENR. LENR is essentially correct, as science.
Yes, it rests on the vagaries of QM, but it may carry QM to the altar and
not the other way around. Check out the LENR/CANR site, because you lose
most of your allies if you try to go too far with this.

IOW, to be precise - you buddy Greg is a jerk who just happened to back into
this technology as a vehicle for his own scam, not a contributor to the
technology in any way.

Those articles have been mentioned here in the past, but thanks for adding the 
podcast to the mix.

Though there were absolutely no technical revelations, what I did take away 
from the interview is the breath of investors being lured in.

In the past, Rossi claimed that the customer's money would be held in escrow 
until they were satisfied that the E-Cat works as promised. Those statements 
lewd many to believe that he could not be perpetrating a scam.  

It should be quite obvious by now, that there are a lot of people being 
separated from their money without any product testing...purely as investors.

[Vo]:Issue of Patent Protection?

2012-01-20 Thread Harvey Norris

Now in this time of research and application, I seem to have reached a finality
with bulb demonstrations, with the first beginning tommorow. I have made good
tests today with the principle using a 15 watt bulb as the load. But first one
must fathom what is going on...

Harvey D Norris wrote:

When historically,(what year) did Tesla and Westinghouse demonstrate the
superiority of AC vs DC for power.?
Having seemingly found a 2nd example of this beyond belief, I need to
determine the historical precedent for the first so called War of the
Currents, where Edison lost the battle to Tesla, and when AC was found
superior to DC for power delivery over distance. I would imagine a date of
1897 might be set, where Tesla/ Westinghouse first exhibited the technology
at the Chicago Worlds Fair.

ANSWER:
wikipedia:

The end of the War of Currents was marked in 1891 by the International
Electro-Technical Exhibition â€ 1891 in Frankfurt Germany (Die
Elektrotechnische Ausstellung). During this exposition a three phase AC power
system developed by Mikhail Dolivo-Dobrovolsky and Oerlikon was able to send
power over 109 miles from Lauffen to Frankfurt. It successfully operated
motors and lights at the fair. Many corporate technical representatives
(including E.W. Rice of Thomson-Houston Electric Company (what became General
Electric)) attended. The technical advisors and representatives were
impressed. The following year General Electric formed and immediately
invested heavily in AC power (at this time Thomas Edison's opinions on
company direction were muted by President Coffin and the GE board of
directors). Westinghouse was already ahead in AC, but it only took a few
years for General Electric to catch up, mainly thanks to Charles Proteus
Steinmetz, a Prussian
mathematician who was the first person to fully understand AC power from a
solid mathematical standpoint. General Electric hired many talented new
engineers to improve its design of transformers, generators, motors and other
apparatus. In Europe Siemens and Halske became the dominant force. Three phase
60 Hz at 120 volts became the dominant system in North America while 220-240
volts at 50 Hz became the standard in Europe.
Source(s):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_Currâ€¦
Now the second example that I am refering to was made today
Dual Channel Scopings of Secondaries to be placed in Series from (corrected)
666 Machine; ~ 60 degree Time Difference from poles over Identical Phase
Series! This actually explains how fields in near unison can exist from the
combinations.
http://youtu.be/CBR1z5WaKAE
HDN
Now from here the tests with bulbs will corroborate my claims, I suppose.
Todays test indicated that with a 15 watt bulb 180 volts would exist from a 22
volt alternator, with all the energy passed through the air through this air
core method refered to as the 666 machine. Both methods use 4/1 step up
transformers. However given this load and this input the forcasted DC
conversion voltage across the bulb will be only 120 volts. So given the above
facts I can show 22 volts input using a 4 fold transformer producing 180 volts
to 15 watt load, which produces 50% better efficiency to that load as predicted
by theory. The 22 volt alternator using a 4/1 step up transformer will light
the bulb over 50% greater then what 120 volt wall voltage will produce, I
imagine, since the heated filament has a non linear resistance.

Thus I feel that in demonstrating these facts, I might be defeating my purposes
here, and if I can deliver the goods, I should seek a patent first. It could be
a new war of the currents where once again the AC application may become
superior to the former known DC application as the most sensible conversion of
3 phase energy to a common resistive load.

It could be a gold mine as they say, so whats the issue of rights to the gold
mine you discovered. Should I just put up private local demonstrations of the
process and then hope for investors to generate the patent application costs?
It doesnt seem wise to put it on the internet openly. I remember some time ago
there was discussions about how disclosures of an idea will make the patent
application difficult, as a prior disclosure somehow invalidates the claim. Any
comments from the vortex rat pack here?

[Vo]:Ian Bryce and Rossi

Been a Vortex web lurker too long. Finally something that blows up 
Rossi, his lunatic supporters and exposes how this scam works.


http://skepticzone.libsyn.com/webpage/the-skeptic-zone-170-21-jan-2012

It is good to see Ian Bryce of the Australian Skeptics taking a slice 
out of Rossi, doing the numbers and openly showing Rossi's data doesn't 
stack up and is fabricated. I bet plenty of people at that meeting still 
invested their money. Too bad there are plenty of green and stupid 
people around who want to believe Rossi and his E-Cat will save the 
planet, even when Ian Bryce shows them it fails the 3 legged stool test.


Don't you find it very interesting Rossi was scheduled to talk, via a 
Skype video link, to a group of family sized investors, despite saying 
that he was not interested in personal investors? I bet the licensee, 
after talking with Bryce and seeing he was negative, told Rossi not to 
call.


Ok Rossi may not be interested in private investors for Leonardo Corp 
but instead is working with his licensees to hook in private investors 
for them and in return for him. Now it is becoming clearer how this scam 
works.


Seems Mary, Jones and others here were correct. There is a scam going 
on. Dick Smith and Ian Bryce have exposed how it works and apparently 
are working to stop it as they are now asking for people any country who 
have been approached to invest in local E-Cat licensees to come forward 
and contact the Australian Skeptics.


It is good to be an Australian skeptic, see someone prove my doubts were 
correct and to finally see this scam exposed as to how it works and 
before anyone loses any more money.

One of the more far out of Rossi's claims, made clearly and at least twice
in his misnamed blog (JONP), was that he can do (nickel) isotope separation
on the cheap.   Of course, that's immensely unlikely.  He was asked how he
does it and of course he said it was proprietary.  It ranks up there with
the self destruct system and the private homes and factories which are
currently heated by E-cats but of course we can't see them or talk to the
