I want to go on record with a theory. This theory has predictions that can 
explain experimental results. 

One prediction is the production of intense RF because the reaction is magnetic 
and RF is a result of Active NMR elements. 

Another production is the production of x-rays when an electric arc distroys 
the superconductivity that thermalized gamma rays. 

Another production is that Defkalion had of weak reaction due to the use of arc 
stimulation because they did not transmute Ni61 whereas Rossi's reaction does 
and he transmutes all nickel isotopes.

Another prediction is that high temperature LENR plasma reactions with 
temperatures of 6000C and above are possible. 

The theory also explains all the miracles associated with LENR.

  One critical facet of LENR is the production of a special type of 
nanoparticle: a superconductive hydride. This particle is produced by the 
extremely high pressure exerted by the chemical bonds in the lattice of a 
transition metal substrate lattice. Lithium hydride is an example of such a 
nanoparticle.

  Under extreme pressure, the hydrogen chemical bonds become symmetric, that is 
the hydrogen bonds become equal in length and symmetric around the proton.  
This metallization of the hydride produces topological superconductivity.

  Like in any nanowire, the SPPs (surface plasmon polaritons) will populate the 
surface of this superconductive nanowire. The superconductivity of the hydride 
nanowire will catalyze the entire ensemble of SPPs to readily form a Bose 
condensate which converts many individual SPPs into one super-SPP where the 
monopole magnetic beam that this BEC (Bose–Einstein condensate) SPP projects is 
focused forward from the front of the hydride nanowire. This magnetic beam is 
very powerful as a result of super-radiance. The power of this super-radiance 
goes as the total number of SPPs. 


  The production of this metalized hydride is what converts the weak LENR 
reaction into the powerful LENR+ reaction.

  Because of the BEC, the SPPs are concentrated, focused, and amplified. The 
monopole flux tubes produced by the SPPs generate a magnetic shield that locks 
the SPPs in place and solidifies the structure of the hydride nanowire.  These 
nanowires and their superconductive nature are protected by this monopole 
magnetism even at temperatures (tens of thousands C) that would completely 
ionize any other type of matter.

  There is an amazing positive feedback mechanism in play between the energy 
that the metalized hydride produces and its structural integrity. The metalize 
hydride is meta stable but as the SPP BEC absorbed power, the associated 
magnetic fields increasingly resist any disruptive force. This feature of the 
LENR reaction permits the metalized hydride to produce LENR effects even in a 
plasma environment. This is one of the little recognize miracles of the LENR 
reaction.

  This BEC on the nanowire becomes a quasiparticle acting as an analog 
monopole. As we all know, a monopole produces nucleon decay into mesons as seen 
by Holmlid.

The press release! That's what I said before. The press release says
"Industrial Heat has worked for over three years to substantiate the

In his press release, Rossi says the gadget produces 50 times input. If
that is true, surely that would be substantiation. Obviously the two
disagree.

You are not questioning any my assertions. You are asking questions about

people working on nuclear reactors? How would I know how many days they
spent there? Ask Rossi!

You made up this long list of imaginary claims that I supposedly said, and
now you want me to answer them?

I repeat, EVERY DAMN THING I SAID can be confirmed in the press releases

If you are not satisfied with press releases, I cannot help you.

You know there are many small companies that are inflexible. That is
because they are often managed by one individual and if he is inflexible
then the company will be and probably not do so good.

First Electronic Calculator:

The story of the electronic calculator really begins in the late 1930s as
the world began to prepare for renewed war. To calculate the trigonometry
required to drop bombs ‘into a pickle barrel’ from 30,000 feet, to hit a
30-knot Japanese warship with a torpedo or to bring down a diving Stuka

All were basically mechanical devices using geared wheels and rotating

Re: [Vo]:Next Big Future - goes out on a limb

2016-04-14 Thread Axil Axil
I want to go on record with a theory. This theory has predictions that can
explain experimental results.

One prediction is the production of intense RF because the reaction is
magnetic and RF is a result of Active NMR elements.

Another production is the production of x-rays when an electric arc
distroys the superconductivity that thermalized gamma rays.

Another production is that Defkalion had of weak reaction due to the use of
arc stimulation because they did not transmute Ni61 whereas Rossi's
reaction does and he transmutes all nickel isotopes.

Another prediction is that high temperature LENR plasma reactions with
temperatures of 6000C and above are possible.

The theory also explains all the miracles associated with LENR.

The transistor was invented at AT, and the calculator at HP and TI. Those
were large corporations. Your own examples show that sometimes big
corporations are good thing, and they sometimes have flexibility.

Small companies often lack flexibility.

Axil Axil,
I read what you wrote and looked up the terms I was not familiar with.  
I don't know enough about these exotic particles to judge the likelihood 
of you being right.  It seems to me that this is speculation unless you 
can provide proof.   Certainly you have not provided a way of

Axil Axil wrote:

nanoparticle: a superconductive hydride. This particle is produced by 
the extremely high pressure exerted by the chemical bonds in the lattice 
of a transition metal substrate lattice. Lithium hydride is an example 
of such a nanoparticle.


Under extreme pressure, the hydrogen chemical bonds become symmetric, 
that is the hydrogen bonds become equal in length and symmetric around 
the proton.  This metallization of the hydride produces topological 
superconductivity.


Like in any nanowire, the SPPs (surface plasmon polaritons) will 
populate the surface of this superconductive nanowire. The 
superconductivity of the hydride nanowire will catalyze the entire 
ensemble of SPPs to readily form a Bose condensate which converts many 
individual SPPs into one super-SPP where the monopole magnetic beam that 
this BEC (Bose–Einstein condensate) SPP projects is focused forward from 
the front of the hydride nanowire. This magnetic beam is very powerful 
as a result of super-radiance. The power of this super-radiance goes as 
the total number of SPPs.


The production of this metalized hydride is what converts the weak LENR 
reaction into the powerful LENR+ reaction.


Because of the BEC, the SPPs are concentrated, focused, and amplified. 
The monopole flux tubes produced by the SPPs generate a magnetic shield 
that locks the SPPs in place and solidifies the structure of the hydride 
nanowire.  These nanowires and their superconductive nature are 
protected by this monopole magnetism even at temperatures (tens of 
thousands C) that would completely ionize any other type of matter.


There is an amazing positive feedback mechanism in play between the 
energy that the metalized hydride produces and its structural integrity. 
The metalize hydride is meta stable but as the SPP BEC absorbed power, 
the associated magnetic fields increasingly resist any disruptive force. 
This feature of the LENR reaction permits the metalized hydride to 
produce LENR effects even in a plasma environment. This is one of the 
little recognize miracles of the LENR reaction.


This BEC on the nanowire becomes a quasiparticle acting as an analog 
monopole. As we all know, a monopole produces nucleon decay into mesons 
as seen by Holmlid.

Since you are not burning it, perhaps you could more easily recover the

Jed,
Your faith in the law is touching.  The law is an ass (as stated by the 
chief justice)
I am not confident a judge deciding between two experts would get it 
right.  Much more likely to be decided by the wording of the contract.


You write about claims of a COP of 80.  My recollection was that it 
peaked at 60 and we don't really know what the average was.  I suppose 
you could come up with any number you wish if you choose the right time 
period with SSM.


The input power to the whole plant must be known from the electricity 
bill.  We don't know how the output was measured but we are told the ERV 
had his own instruments and so it should have been measured at least 
twice.  It is not particularly hard to do.  My guess is that it is over 
COP 6 or Rossi would not have sued.
What IH were able to do themselves is a red herring and shouldn't effect 
the court case.

regardless of what you think and believe, it is not fair to call someone an

It is not fair to call someone a fraud because he made jail time and is
Italian or because you find it hard to negotiate with him.

No, repeating myself, there are no clear 'evidence' about the status quo.
The different sides has spoken and left all pertinent and objective data
out.
That is typical for a lawsuit in the beginning. It means nothing.

You indicate some relationship with IH that gives you access to better
information. Maybe correct but it could also be their subjective position
you are taken for valid.
No, I have no idea if that is the case.

Jed,
You take on many hats.
You say this is not how business is run. Sorry to disagree but that is
exactly why this is business and not government run development.
Both parties has 'married' with open eyes and then they have second
thoughts. Only one of them or both, right or not does not matter.
What matters even to the LENR community is a quick resolve, preferably with
some good conclusive scientific data.

You say it is not a sporting event. What is the difference? Here it is many
more unclear rules because this particular sport has not been played before.

Than you go on about the moral issue. I have no problem with that will come
into play. However, why suggest that Rossi can pay a bribe? If that is the
understanding then we talk fraud and I would never suggest that is a reason
even hypothetical. Too fast to judge as I said before.

Dear Jed,

to hear your stance on this especially in light of the events of the 
last month.


With all the information that you have been privy to especially over the 
last few weeks, what is your stance on the "Rossi Effect" - does it exist?


Also, do you believe that he has been purposefully making fraudulent 
claims these past several years?


Lastly, do you believe that he has ever been able to achieve a LENR in 
any of his tests either internal or external?

But again, my point is not for the present, but how the agreement was
arranged. It's not common sense to assume that one side would have been
given the option to 'opt-out'. If you're saying that there's an inference
here, that the report must meet some technical standard, even though that
wasn't specified in the agreement, then I'll defer to your legal expertise.

Hi all

As to the supposed ERV 2 we have seen no proof it exists. In fact the first
we hear of it is from Jed, who then starts to back-pedal quite a bit about
it. I personally think Jed has misunderstood what IH has said perhaps under
the instruction of APCO Worldwide as a spun story to trap the unwary, hence
why I think Jed is back-pedalling the supposed ERV 2.

Having said that from Jed we now know that contrary to what, various
pundits/mouthpieces said that the real ERV exists and they are now
back-pedalling the ERV 2 story.

Why does IH not publish the Real ERV?
We have seen the contract IH signed it clearly states that IH were paying
half the cost of the ER and thus have as much right as Rossi to publish the
Real ERV.

However we now know that IH have had the real ERV, the one they
co-contacted for, with people they agreed to running it.

Instead we have the mouthpieces doing ad-homonym attacks on one of the
person's involved in the ERV almost purely on the grounds he is Italian as
far as I can tell. He was so qualified that IH spent over $10 million on
his advice that they contracted him for but suddenly now his report means
IH must full-fill their contract, the spinner's mouthpieces say he is no
longer qualified or competent enough to write the very report IH
co-commissioned from him; when the mouthpieces have never seen the report.

It is not physically possible to describe something you have not seen. If
you do then you have failed science 101 and the Galileo test for you have
not put your eye to the telescope.

On another point; and by way of admonishment. If you are going to report
something in the future state the source and quote what they say, otherwise
you will find yourself entrapped again and once again having to back-pedal
the fantasy. A notebook or recorder is useful.

Yes, and the null result is the most likely.  You could easily find 1000's
of scientists who would assert the same without even seeing the report.
Some may argue that is the wrong approach, but it is the most likely to be
valid in this case (or in fact any case of apparent excess heat).
Therefore, you must take extraordinary measures to make sure the results
are valid.  That includes actually calibrating the plant (running it under
the full range of parameters without the fuel - flow rates, temperature
ranges, input and output powers).  Does anyone here want to go out on a
limb to assert that the test was likely properly calibrated?  Of course we
don't know for sure, but we do know calibration is not standard practice
for any Rossi-involved test.

This is not the first time a major investment has been lost for large
errors.

You misunderstand. The issue is not "they didn't like the report." Likes,
dislikes and preferences play no part in this. The issue is whether the
report is technically correct. In a court case over a technical dispute of
this nature, expert witnesses are brought in to render an opinion on the
analyses from Rossi and I.H. If the expert witnesses convincingly show that
one side or the other is correct, that is how the judge will rule.

No judge will compel I.H. to pay if several HVAC engineers certified and
licensed by the state of Florida testify that the Penon report is wrong;
Penon's methods do not meet boiler inspection standards (calorimetry) set
by the state of Florida; and the device did not produce eighty times input,
or even 6 times input.

Suppose you commission a contractor to build a house in the state of
Florida. Six months later they say it is finished and they demand their
money. You go to the site and you find a hole in the ground and a pile of
rotting lumber. No judge will say "you signed a contract, they say it is
finished, so you have to pay." Penon has worked for Rossi in the past and
he obviously works for him now. No matter what the contract says, if
experts testify that Penon is wrong, I.H. will be released from it.

One side or the other is definitely, drastically, 100% certainly wrong. One

I.H. says the device does not work. Therefore the IP is worthless. If
expert witnesses testify that I.H. is correct, and the judge rules in favor
of I.H., I.H. will not have to pay the $89 million. In that case, the judge
might also compel I.H. to sign away all rights to intellectual property.
Since I.H. has concluded that the property has no value I do not think they
would mind doing that.

It would make no sense to say "it does not work" while also saying "we want
to keep the intellectual property." As I said, judges apply common sense to

It is for the courts to decide whether the omission of a clause like this
prevents the application of common sense and contrary information to an
assessment the ERV's report. Presumably the courts have lattitude here, but
US law sometimes leads to outcomes that are comprehensible only to a lawyer.

It would have been easy to write that into the contract. The contract could
have said, "Both IH and Rossi have the option to do an independent 350
test, and the final reports with be shared. If both sides agree to the sale
after these reports are delivered, then IH will pay $89 million."

But they didn't.

Hi Jed,

Do you or your contact know by any chance who initially introduced the ERV to 
the project? Was it AR, IH, or someone else? It seems his role was not for the 
public verification of the plant but rather as an independent arbitrator 
between IH and AR. 

There have been a lot of assumptions here that the ERV and AR were previously 
acquainted. Is that really the case? It maybe I suppose and if so I guess IH 
agreed.

It seems from recent exchanged he was selected by both IH and AR from the very 
beginning and had the job of overseeing and evaluating all the tests for IH and 
AR as a kind of referee.

Even woodford seem to have been involved much earlier than we originally 
thought and say they did due diligence. Did they have any independent ERV?

Wouldn't it make sense to have ERV who understood Italian I think given its 
AR's mother tongue?

Any way I prefer to look at information and try to see facts rather than judge 
on hearsay. I especially look deeper than the surface when I feel someone is 
attacked by mob culture. Accusation by a mob is different than being guilty in 
my opinion, and some one being difficult to get along with does not make them 
wrong or guilty they can be very good and smart too. I do respect and consider 
intelligent people's points of view on both sides. Especially where like you 
they are very likely better informed than me in their view point. 

I do think where there is doubt it's for the court to settle now. I think both 
sides are intelligent to follow this route. I don't think it's in the interest 
of either side to pressure them into releasing information before they are 
ready to give it. Although like all us following LENR I have huge curiosity is 
to see and know what is in there.

Re: [Vo]:2nd "ERV" as well as being incomplete has obvious risks of being fraudulent.

Dear Jed,

Rossi explains why he does not publish ERV-1 now.

But IH? If ERV-2 makes Rossi checkmate, why they do not publish it
now - as a fatal blow, great ace in the dispute?

It will be interesting to see how it demonstrates lak of excess heat for a
complete year.

[Vo]:Secrets of the Scientology E meter

2016-04-14 Thread Harvey Norris
 An electrical guy wants a meter to measure a current. He wants the moving 
indicator to move to the proper value and not overshoot, and not waste his  
time waiting for it to stop swinging…so he can read the value it indicates.The 
E-Meter movement electrically is a normal moving-coil design, with a standard 
100 micro amp full scale meter movement that used a taught band suspension, 
which is like a torsion bar suspension on an car.The E-meter movement’s design 
specs call for a rather loose needle, with less than normal damping. As a 
former member in charge of procuring these E meters... contacting the 
manufacturer once I got it across to him that we did not want a ‘better’ meter, 
he made us hundreds of sloppy ones!!!Arnaldo Lerma  later had some lawsuits 
against Scientology and  had worked with them to supply the "E meters"Secrets
