[Vo]:Spin liquids

2016-12-05 Thread Russ George
An interesting new path opening up all about special quantum states found in 
Nature both in natural crystals and synthetics varieties. Quantum ‘spin 
liquids’ where there is a vast amount of entanglement going on… now of course 
such massive entanglement has always been what cold fusion required as Julian 
Schwinger commented on in 1989!

I do not know such details at all. The only thing I know about is the
sample data. I immediately saw the problems in that data such as the
pressure of 0.0 bar. The data is obviously fake, and physically impossible.
The problems I saw were all described in Exhibit 5, along with some other
problems I did not know about. So, read that Exhibit, and you will know
everything I know. That is my only basis for saying the experiment did not
produce heat, and it was fraud. (If you disagree then I think you do not
understand machinery.)

None of that matters to me. I am sure the pressure was not 0.0 bar. I am
sure that flow meter was the wrong kind. I am sure these problems and the
others described in Exhibit 5 preclude any possibility of excess heat and
they prove it was fraud. The reactors themselves play no role in this
evaluation.

The evidence is all in the calorimetry! It makes no difference what
reactors were installed. The calorimetry shows they did not work. They can
be considered a black box. In fact, they *have to be* considered a black
box, or the test method is invalid.

His satisfaction is irrelevant. His data and the photos of his ceiling
proves that his claims are fraud.

Suppose the 80 units that were not installed actually worked. In that case,
if he had installed them, installed proper calorimetric instruments, and
showed IH how to make them, IH would have paid him $90 million. There would
be no lawsuit. Why would he not do that? Why would he launch an expensive
lawsuit if he had working reactors sitting there unused? That makes no
sense, and I do not believe it for one second. I am amazed that you believe
it. Why would Rossi not install working reactors when he would be paid $90
million to do it?!???

None of the used units produced any heat, period. If the unused ones could
produce heat, WHY DIDN'T ROSSI INSTALL THEM? You need to answer that
question, not me.

Nonsense. The only thing they said, and I said, was the the test failed to
show any excess heat, and many of the numbers were obviously fake. They
don't care about the design, as long as it works. I have spent a lot of
time talking to them about calorimetry. I have not talked at all about
their business or the lawsuit, and I did not ask anything about the
reactors themselves. As I said, with this calorimetry the reactor as a
whole is a single black box. Any design or configuration that produces
excess heat can measured the same as any other design. If Rossi had mixed
in five different reactor types that all worked, or three that worked and
two that did not, I would see no indication of that. Nothing in the
calorimetry or the data I saw would show that. Nothing in Exhibit 5 would
show it. It would only show X power going in and Y heat coming out of the
system as a whole.

It is possible to set up calorimetry separately for each reactor, but I did
not see any data from that kind of configuration.

Jed,
I find it strange that you didn't know there were 2 MW of reactors in 
the plant.  I thought that was common knowledge..  The first set of the 
older design were what you saw in the photo montage that Rossi 
provided.  (Nothing to do with Lugano - low temperature units)  The 
second set of four 250 kW units were right at the end. In Rossi's photo 
he is listening to one with a stethoscope.
It is pretty weak to say that they all didn't work without any evidence 
of that.  That Rossi didn't attempt to use them is fairly strong 
evidence he was satisfied with the four 250 kW units, no matter what you 
have been told by IH.   Do you really think he would build about 80 
units for fun and not use them if needed?  One of the design of these 
unused units was what passed the initial test.  IH was bleating about 
how he used a different design for the test and tried to make out that 
disqualified it, if you recall.

Jed,
Rossi had a double set of reactors in the 1 MW experiment.  The standby 
reactors were of the old design that you think may have worked.
If the four 250 kW units didn't work why did Rossi not use the backups?  
As far as is known they were never activated.

I suppose Parkhomov is mistaken, or misinformed about Rossi's work.

There are several other possibilities --

Takahashi and others have tested finely divided nickel and reported it 
produces excess heat. Perhaps they are right, and Rossi is wrong. In 
other words, Parkhomov may have successfully replicated Takahashi, 
only he does not realize this.


It is possible that Rossi's earlier tests actually worked. It is 
difficult to judge, but I cannot rule that out. Again, if Takahashi 
succeeded, it is not out of the question that Rossi did as well. I am 
sure that Rossi's 1-year test was a failure and a fraud, but his 
earlier work may have been okay.


Piantelli has claimed that bulk nickel produces heat. He has not been 
replicated as far as I know, but if he is right, it would not be 
surprising if finely divided nickel works too. It might work better 
than bulk material.


There is pretty good evidence that some of the Thermacore nickel 
experiments worked. Again, Pakhomov may be replicating Thermacore 
without realizing it. I do not think anyone knows enough about Rossi 
or Parkhomov to judge how closely their experiments resemble one another.


I think we cannot rule out the possibility that Parkhomov's results 
are invalid, and he has no heat. His previous work was pretty lousy.

See the lawsuit Exhibit 5:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6qvuFUMAp9HMEQyeHZlX256U1E/view

I have seen a sample of Rossi's data. This Exhibit describes it accurately.
The problems described in this exhibit preclude any possibility that
Rossi's device works. Anyone who does not understand that is a technical
illiterate. Russ George describes himself as an experimentalist, and he
thinks others are dilettantes. If he cannot understand the problems in
Exhibit 5, he is no experimentalist.

Perhaps he thinks the claims in Exhibit 5 are lies. In that case, he should
explain how a warehouse with no ventilation equipment might have a 1 MW
heater in it without killing the observers.

Well I guess I stand more with Bob that with Brian on this. As a working
experimentalist in the field (like Brian, god bless him) I have plenty of
things I wish (might demand) that Rossi (and a long list of other
experimentalists) might do to make my life more interesting and exciting and
save me a lot of hard work. but Rossi gets to define Rossi and I am capable
of judging his offerings (or not) on my own. So far he's given me lots of
valued information so he gets my qualified blessing.

 

Within this social media miasma which this Vortex is the condemnation of
Rossi and name calling by nere-do-wells and armchair dilatants, aka trolls,
adds nothing positive to the development of science. Do feisty opinionated
film or fashion critics acting as groupies deliver anything to the
betterment of humankind, I am certain they do not. Do they entertain, yes,
in some perverse way which I suspect I might be asked by St. Peter as to why
I paid attention to such minions and wasted my valuable time therein, and in
doing so might have earned a brush stroke or two of barbecue sauce in limbo.
I trust the real slathering of BBQ sauce is awaiting the worst of those who
persistently direct their slander and hatred in their temper tantrums
against those who won't 'tell all' as they demand. 

 

I am absolutely certain that room on Nature Editor Maddox's spit he
