Re: [Vo]:Translation of Parkhomov slides at recent Soshi meeting

2015-10-02 Thread Eric Walker
I do not by any means rule out the scenario you propose.  I only attempt to
draw out its implications.

If what you say is what happened, I see several implications.  A first
implication is that the 62Ni would have had to have been relatively
granular and segregated from the "fuel" nickel, even after undergoing high
temperature excursions.  The reason I referred to the ICP-MS and AES
analyses is because (to my knowledge) they involve digesting the entire
sample, as you describe.  Since the isotope analysis of the ash showed
nearly pure 62Ni, there was no mixing or sintering of the 62Ni with the
residual "fuel" nickel.  That means that any functional role played by 62Ni
would have to work in a granular form.

A second implication is that either the "fuel" was sampled prior to
insertion into the E-Cat, or it was a bit of random chance that the sample
showed natural isotope ratios, since it might have shown elevated 62Ni
instead.  (It seems pretty reasonable that the "fuel" nickel would have
been sampled before insertion, so this implication isn't that big of a
deal.)

A third implication is that any functional role played by the 62Ni would be
other than the suppression of penetrating radiation.  This is because if
the natural-ratio nickel was the source of penetrating radiation, the 62Ni
would be unlikely to help out once the normal nickel was included.  So
whatever functional role it plays is probably different.  (This implication
is interesting mostly to me.)

A fourth implication in your scenario is that, even if the 62Ni plays a
functional role, Rossi seems to have engaged in conscious misdirection by
including the natural-ratio nickel in the "fuel" (along with the LAH).
 (You appear to anticipate this yourself.)  Here is an exchange that comes
to mind:

Team: Andrea, will you allow us to analyze the fuel?  Can we do an isotope
analysis?  (Here the team assumes that it will be a meaningful thing to do.)
Rossi: Yes, you can do an isotope analysis.
Team: Thank you.  We will analyze samples before and after the live run,
and we will look at what happens to the fuel.
Rossi: Yes, please go ahead and do that if you like.
Team: Thank you for being forthcoming.


It's possible that your scenario isn't the one that happened.  But if it
is, it's hard to see how to avoid a conclusion of misdirection, unless
there's a functional role that is played by the 62Ni and a different
functional role played by the natural-isotope nickel. At this point,
explanations start to get pretty fancy.

A relevant question here is the role that the isotope analysis played, if
any, in Industrial Heat's due diligence process.

I should mention that I'm still optimistic that the nickel was active, so I
don't necessarily assume misdirection at this point.  Your scenario is
interesting nonetheless.

Yes, my hypothesis is that the reactor tube was not empty when given to the
Lugano team to test - it had been pre-loaded with 62Ni.  They did their
dummy tests with the inert 62Ni by itself (and no H2).  When it came time
for Rossi to add the "fuel" powder, a sample of what he was putting in was
taken for analysis as the "fuel".  But, what Rossi put in was not the whole
fuel - only some LAH and some natural Ni to obscure the analysis.  When the
ash was analyzed, it was a mix of a large amount of 62Ni pre-loaded + a
smaller amount of natural Ni loaded as powder by Rossi after the dummy
test.  In the ash analysis, there was still 0.3% of 58Ni, probably from the
free "fuel" powder he added after the dummy test.  However, in my
hypothesis, the ash particles tested were mostly comprised of the original
62Ni that was pre-loaded into the reactor with a small amount of Ni that
was added when Rossi added the powder fuel.

The ICP-MS and AES only tested the particles that were sampled from Rossi's
powder fuel before he added it to the reactor, and then the particles that
were shaken loose from the sintered mass of ash in the reactor after the
experiment.  The ICP-MS analysis begins with chemical digestion of a few
small particles, I think in ultra-pure nitric acid.  This acid with the
dissolved metals is injected into the spectrometer.  ICP-MS only tests the
average composition of the digested particles in the acid.  ICP-MS does not
analyze the materials while still in the reactor like some sort of MRI.
AES is an optical emission spectrum measurement on the excited plasma that
feeds the mass spectrometer in the ICP machine - testing the same digested
particles.

My hope is not to imply deception, although I do not rule it out.  But the
only alternative I can think of is that the 62Ni plays some functional
role, especially in view of the high price for isotopically enriched
nickel.  I can think of one possible functional role -- perhaps
natural-isotopic-ratio nickel yields penetrating radiation in the
conditions provided by Rossi's device, whereas 62Ni is inert.  But that
begs the question of whether penetrating radiation would be observed in the
other experiments, and if not, why not.  Perhaps there is another
functional role.  Absent a functional role for the 62Ni, misdirection is an
obvious explanation.

Just to make sure I understand your hypothesis -- 62Ni is added prior to
the blank runs, before the natural-ratio nickel fuel was added.  It is then
present during the blank runs and doesn't do anything, because by
hypothesis it is presumed to be inert.  Then just prior to the live run the
natural-ratio nickel is added, sampled and measured.  And then the test
proceeds.  After the test has been concluded, several of the nickel
isotopes are found to have been consumed, leaving only 62Ni as the
residue.  Have I understood this correctly?

In this scenario, it seems that nickel is still active, whereas it is not,
as far as we can tell, in the other experimenter's (shorter) tests.

Also, if the 62Ni was present in Lugano prior to the start of the live run,
why was it not detected in the ICP-MS and ICP-AES analyses?  (I do note
that the amount was slightly above the nickel standard that was used.)

While I was translating Parkhomov's latest presentation, I was struck again
by the plethora of elements in the ash that were not in the "fuel".
Previously I pleaded through Bob Greenyer to get Parkhomov to give us a
slice of his stainless steel fuel can.  When the reactor is heated over
1000C in the presence of hydrogen gas, the stainless steel will be stripped
of its protective oxides, and most of its constituents will dissolve to
some extent in the molten Li-Al-H.  It is likely a great deal of the
elements found in the ash came from the stainless steel can.

This makes any conclusions from changes in the element composition, other
than for Li, Al, and Ni, to have no basis at the moment.  In a Hangouts
call today with Bob Greenyer, I brought this up again - to have him ask
Parkhomov for a sliver of the can material.  MFMP would have elemental
analysis performed on the sliver of can.  There is little excuse to not
have had this done before presenting such a table of element values in his
presentation - at least without the caveat that many of those elements

http://www.blacklightpower.com/wp-content/uploads/papers/Cont_EUV_HOH-031215.pdf

Abstract: EUV radiation in the 10-30 nm region observed only arising from
very low energy pulsed pinch gas discharges comprising some hydrogen first
at BlackLight Power, Inc. (BLP) and reproduced at the Harvard Center for
Astrophysics (CfA) was determined to be due to the transition of H to the
lower-energy hydrogen or hydrino state H(1/4) whose emission matches that
observed wherein alternative sources were eliminated. The identity of the
catalyst that accepts 3⋅ 27.2 eV from the H to cause the H to H(1/4)
transition was investigated by recording the EUV continuum emission from
electrodes having metal oxides that are thermodynamically favorable to
undergo H reduction to form HOH catalyst; whereas, those that are
unfavorable did not show any continuum even though the low-melting point
metals tested are very favorable to forming metal ion plasmas with strong
short-wavelength continua in more powerful plasma sources. Of the two
possible catalysts, 3 H and HOH, the latter catalyst is more likely to be
active in the H pinch plasma based on the behavior with oxide-coated
electrodes and the consideration of the intensity profile of the multi-body
reaction required during 3 H catalysis. The HOH catalyst was further shown
to give EUV radiation of the same nature by igniting a solid fuel
comprising a source of H and HOH catalyst by passing a low voltage, high
current through the fuel to produce explosive plasma. No chemical reaction
can release such highenergy light, and the field corresponded to a voltage
that was less than 15 V for the atmospheric pressure collisional plasma. No
high field existed to form highly ionized ions that could give radiation in
this EUV region. Following ignition, high-power plasma was observed with no
power input. This plasma source serves as strong evidence for the existence
of the transition of H to hydrino H(1/4) by HOH as the catalyst. The
hydrino reaction is a powerful new energy source released primarily as
blackbody radiation equivalent to the Sun spectrum. Initial prototypes to
generate extraordinary optical power by the formation of hydrinos are
already producing photovoltaic generated electrical power. Moreover, m H
catalyst was identified to be active in the laboratory and astronomical
sources such as the Sun, stars, and interstellar medium wherein the
characteristics of hydrino product match those of the dark matter of the
universe.

This is supported by the fact that the reactor showed no signs of heat

By the way, Robin was correct about this.  When reactions are considered
under pion exchange, where a neutron and a proton swap places in two
nuclei, there are plenty of exothermic reactions if one or the other
nucleus is unstable (or both).  It seems that it is only when both nuclei

are a positive particle and a negative particle. When they recombine, that
that positive and negative particle recombination reverts back into
nothing.

When a dark mode SPP emits a positive photon as Analogue Hawking radiation,
a negative photon enters the SPP. This nano black hole grows more negative
in energy as time goes on. The SPP will eventually fill up with negative
energy.

This negative energy is said to make time and light move faster. There are
many physical laws that assumes that EMF have a constant velocity. But what
happens to that EMF if light speed is increased. Are there anyone here that
can explain to me what happens inside the SPP to the EMF that is trapped
inside when the speed of that EMF is increased beyond the speed of light?

Does anybody know what happens to the gas atoms if any that are inside that
SPP? What happens inside the nucleus of those gas atoms?

These are the things I would like to know.

Due diligence has a well defined legal meaning, so if they did that they 
must have seen E-Cats working.  One would suppose also the crown jewel 
of the 1 MW plant.  They were satisfied enough to invest more than $10 
million according to Darden in his interview with Fortune.   This mean 
Industrial heat has more than $20 million now.


This is strong evidence that the 1 MW plant works.

Ross is only a part of IH (which explains a lot of Vaughn's statement of
him not being credible / the weird disconnect between Rossi and IH lately).


IH has invested in other LENR organizations.

I still stand by my assessment of 9%   https://rossiisreal.wordpress.com/

I am excited by Holmlid though.  I'd roughly gauge him at 25% being real.
