Jones,

Thanks for the clarification regarding the JM Pd. I don't see in the 
document that you are citing that "JM Pd" in table 10 is referenced 
to "JM Pd Type A" that is apparently an alloy of Pd 67% and Ag 23%. 
Where does it say that the "JM Pd" in table 10 is "JM Pd Type A"? Are 
you saying that all  "JM Pd" is an alloy of Pd/Ag? Thanks for any 
information you can provide.

Thanks Robert. I should have spent more time on the explanation of 
that table, but the post was already getting too long.


The "JM Pd" is type A which is 23% Ag. This was apparently 
successful 17 times out of 28 including the hero effort which was 7 
times more P-out than any boron run.


The unsuccessful "NRL silver alloy" is a mystery and it does go 
against the contention that silver is the critical component, but 
they did say that deuterium loading was poor for the NRL sample, 
hence excess-heat production was not likely. Why loading was poor is 
not stated.


When silver vapor is used - as in Mills Sun Cell experiment, loading 
becomes a non-issue and surface area is maximized.

Fire up a rousing version of "The William Tell 
Overture" in order to appreciate the latest 
contention (you heard it first on vortex) that 
SILVER (not the horse but the shiny element 47) 
is the almost-hidden key to success in cold 
fusion... and also the Mills effect as well ! Or 
is it a coincidence that Randy absolutely 
depends on silver in his recent announcements?


At first, the large amount of silver used in the 
Sun Cell was said to be an electrical contact, 
but now Ag is admitted to be the only catalyst 
necessary for hydrogen redundancy/reactivity. 
The only parameter which is required for the 
reaction to self-sustain, according to Mills own 
statement (see the latest video on YT) - is 
“sufficient vapor pressure of silver in the 
presence of hydrogen”. That’s right – silver is the only catalyst needed.


Imagine that … but now imagine it in the context 
of cold fusion. Palladium and silver are very 
similar and often found together in nature. A 
silver-palladium alloy is superior to palladium 
for hydrogen diffusion or as a membrane 
purification. The palladium alloy Pd77 Ag23 is 
considered the best alloy for hydrogen 
diffusion, with technical superiority pure 
metal. The best alloy from J-M is called “Type A” and contains 23% silver.


Martin Fleischmann was adamant about the need 
for silver. This was a perennial subject on 
vortex for years in the past and Jed Rothwell’s 
comments are worth reviewing. "Type A" is the 
palladium J-M developed in the 1930s for their 
hydrogen filters. Fleischmann sez: "Look at the 
data from Miles. What does it tell you? When 
Uncle Martin gives you palladium, it works. When 
you get the palladium from somewhere else, it 
doesn't work! Why don't people pay attention to 
that?!?" He was referring to Table 10 in this 
document, which -- as Martin says -- no one seems to pay any attention to:


<http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/MilesManomalousea.pdf>http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/MilesManomalousea.pdf

It is now looking like the element silver, which 
adjoins Pd in the periodic table, could be the 
key to excess heat in both cold fusion and the 
Mills effect. But why? It is not likely that it 
works in a different way for Mills than it does for P


One thing is superconductivity. It is known in 
the early nineties that Pd-D is superconductive 
when loaded above 70%, but the highest 
transition state is found in the Pd-Ag alloy 
known as Type A, which is well above pure Pd. 
Yup … the same alloy we have been talking about. Coincidence?


Silver also has numerous metastable states with 
the most stable being Ag-108m with a half-life 
of 418 years. If you subscribe to the “virtual 
neutron” of Widom-Larsen or the DDL, or the UDH 
of Holmlid, then silver would possibly go to the 
108m metastable isotope by absorption of dense 
hydrogen and it could absorb as a halo nucleus. 
Ag-108m  is said to have an extremely high spin 
state of 6 (but I cannot find a citation for that).


In conclusion, if you follow the cutting edge 
between LENR and Mills, and can find the one 
overwhelming detail of similarity - then it is 
most likely silver and the fact that the gain is 
coming from Ag either as a catalyst or as a reactant.


In Mills, silver is catalyst but in LENR it is 
reactant. It will be interesting to see which 
end-result prevails in the end. Maybe there is room for both.

This is based on elementary knowledge of

they really are producing a megawatt of heat 
there is no doubt several hundred kilowatts are

hot oven. This would also make the whole room 
too hot to survive in, and even with two overhead 1 m vent fans.


Furthermore, much of the heat is retained by the

interview. Rossi says the water comes back at 
60°C. It is not vented as steam by the customer.

indeed switch from the smaller e-cats to the 250KW units. The URL is 
"http://hydrofusion.com/news/e-cat-third-quarter-developments-2015;



The main quote is:

"Built-in Redundancy

In the first week of August, 2015, Rossi officially announced that 
the 1MW plant had built-in redundancy. The original E-Cat system is 
combined with the four 250 KW reactors he had perfected earlier in 
the year. This increases the safety margins significantly, and will 
figure greatly in the successful long-term test that is scheduled to 
end sometime in the first quarter of 2016. The large E-Cats, which 
Rossi calls Tigers, are the main source of power, and the smaller 
versions are for backup. Rossi gives a great deal of detail about the 
plant, stating that it is designed to continue running even if one of 
the main units is offline for maintenance, without having to resort 
to using the backup power. This provides, in effect, a double back-up 
for the production of power."

I just don't see why it is so difficult 
determining the COP of such a large system. As 
far as I can see you have to make a few 
measurements to get a very good idea of a thermal 
plants performance. 1) temperature of water going 
in, 2) temperature or water going out, 3) water 
flow rate, 4) the difference in temperature of 
the incoming and outgoing water, 5) energy 
required to produce the temperature difference, 
6) and the energy consumed from the A.C. mains. 
The difference between the energy required to 
produce the temperature rise and the energy 
consumed from the A.C. Mains is the COP. I am not 
taking into account any losses, but with 
a  system this large and a COP of 50 who gives a damn.

As far as I know it is! I have not hear that 
Rossi has redefined this. It is the ratio of 
output to input power. Suppose 20 kW of 
electricity goes in, 1,000 kW comes out. That 
would be COP of 50, which is what Rossi claims. 
The I.H. people say that less than 20 kW is coming out, because of heat losses.


In any conventional electrical or combustion 
heater, the COP is always less than 1, because 
there are heat losses. In a heat pump, the COP 
can be higher than 1, but that is not actually a 
violation of the laws of thermodynamics (as some 
people imagine) because the surroundings outside 
the building grow colder. The heat is moved, not generated.


Â
It seems from what you said that the technicians 
measured heat from the device but apparently 
observed no excess heat due to LENR?



No excess heat from anything.
Â
Â
Is the heat balance the continuous heat provided 
by the plant regardless of input? External power 
or LENR? I.e balance over time?



I am not sure what you mean, but anyway, heat 
out always balances heat it. It is just an 
electric heater, as far as anyone can tell. (Anyone other than Rossi.)



Was 1MW heat power ever provided from external power alone?


No, that would not be possible. That takes a 
huge power supply transformer, such as what you 
see behind a shopping mall. A 1 MW transformer 
is the size of a pickup truck. This is just an ordinary warehouse facility.


I believe this is an image of a 1 MW transformer:

If so was 1MW thermal heat output from the

Jed,

Since you are in communication with someone that 
is linked to I.H. maybe you can answer a few questions.


1) Is I.H.'s finding that the 1 MW e-cat plant 
produced no heat (COP <1) based on the very same 
data set that Rossi used to determine that the 
COP was greater than 50? Is the COP error a 
direct miscalculation of the data or is the error 
based on how the data was obtained, i.e., the 
wrong type of sensors, placement of the sensors, etc.


2) Were any of I.H.'s  COP findings based on 
sensor readings that Rossi didn't use or have access to?


3) Did I.H. receive a communication every 3 
months regarding the operation and performance, as Rossi has indicated?


4) If they did indeed receive the 3 month 
communications, when did I.H. determine that something was amiss?


5) Reading the contract it says that I.H. can 
make suggestions about the performance and 
operation of the plant, did I.H. ever make any 
comment to Rossi that the plant wasn't performing 
as required and ask him to make changes?


6) How well do you know the person(s) that have 
provided the information from I.H.? I only ask in 
that you seem very sure that the information that 
you have seen is accurate. If they are someone 
that you don't know very well, can you be certain

Does taking measurements constitute "running" a boiler? As far as I know 
no one has ever said that they ran the boiler. (Penon, etc)

In answer to those who claim that Rossi's friends and countrymen -

BTW... the Leonardo complaint - alone can probably be used to prove 
both of these fine "engineers" are subject to immediate deportation 
for committing numerous misdemeanors and violations of other US laws 
while on a work visa ...


Goat-guy has this to say:

"There were absolutely competent engineers and nuclear experts working 
at the Chernobyl nuclear plant for years. And it went 'boom'. There 
were hundreds of completely competent engineers, physicists and 
designers overseeing the construction of the Japanese coastal nuclear 
power plants. Fukushima demonstrated that they hadn't considered the 
consequence of a natural disaster. Engineers, for all their 
earnestness aren't particularly good at being either curious enough -- 
or more-delicately, are not inclined to say anything bad about their 
employer's machinery" END of quote.


If Penon did not know about the clever way Rossi designed the test, 
which allowed data to be easily faked, then he might escape the legal 
consequences. If he knew, and said nothing, then it could cost him 
much more than Rossi has paid him.


Deportation would be a blessing.

Industrial Heat - should petition the Court to depose the two of them 
ASAP so they are on record before disappearing into Tuscany. However, 
Rossi is probably smart enough to have sent them packing already.

Re: [Vo]:MFMP interviews spokesman from WILLIAMSON

2014-10-26 Thread Robert Dorr


I read the report you linked to. Their main argument is that CCDs 
response at the temperature the ecat is operating at has a low 
reaction curve, i.e. the reaction to temperature change flattens out 
so it's harder to get an accurate reading with a change in 
temperature. The method that Williamson is using is a Spot 
Pyrometer which uses emissivity or for a better word reflectance, 
that's why they are concerned with the transparency of the object 
they are measuring at IR wavelengths. Williamson says they have 
looked at alumina at various temperatures and have included it's 
varying emissivity into an algorithm to give accurate temperature 
readings. Since alumina is opaque at the temperature of the ecat and 
the wavelengths they were measuring in the Lugano report, were of 
between 7.5u and 13u, they chose the appropriate IR cameras. The only 
thing that someone might have a question with in regards to the IR 
cameras and Rossi's ecat is, Were the cameras calibrated properly?, 
and they say on page 4 of the report that the cameras were calibrated 
by the respective manufacturers laboratories.

As to whether a spot pyrometer is more accurate than an IR camera, I 
think depends on their use. For small area or pin point measurement I 
agree that a spot pyrometer may be more accurate, but for large or 
gross measurement I think the IR camera would be just as accurate if 
not more so. I think that there is no problem using the IR cameras 
for accurate measurement of the temperature of the Rossi ecat as long 
as the cameras were calibrated properly.

If you measured at 2.5u you would be dealing with IR directly emitted 
from the interior of the hot cat because at that wavelength the 
alumina would be somewhat transparent to IR. Measuring at the 
wavelengths they did the IR cameras were only reading the surface 
temperature because of aluminas's opaqueness at wavelengths above 
approximately 3.5u. Almost everyone gets hung up on the visible 
wavelength pictures that were published in the report. They bear 
almost no relation to what the IR cameras were observing.

diffuse source. unless the wire is very close to the surface).


Their system can be used to *determine* the emissivity.

I *think* they said it would be better to measure Alumina at a lower 
wavelength (2.5u?) and not in the IR band (8-14)?


So far, I see no reason to budge from my initial evaluation of 
inconclusive. But just one more nail in the coffin and I might 
downgrade that to failed. (But a failed experiment doesn't 
necessarily mean the ecat doesn't work).


In short, they were nuts to stick with the hotcat/IR calorimetry, 
and should have asked for a fatcat with water (non-steam) calorimetry.

Re: [Vo]:temperature of the resistor wire.

2014-10-15 Thread Robert Dorr



I've been thinking of tungsten for a while now. Do they make an alloy 
with tungsten that operates at high temps in an oxygen atmosphere. I ask 
because, although the tungsten that is embedded in the reactor would be 
protected from oxygen by the aluminum oxide coating, you have to connect 
it to power somewhere outside the reactor that would be exposed to air 
and the wire, if pure tungsten, would decompose rapidly. Also, I think 
that you continue to use the word deception without proof that Rossi has 
deceived anyone in this experiment. I realize that all the data goes 
against current knowledge, but do you think that we know absolutely 
everything there is to know about reactions at the nuclear level? I 
think not. I think that there is a reaction that is going on that does 
not follow our current knowledge and it may be determined that it is not 
nuclear in the common sense but it is indeed a novel reaction and it 
needs to be studied and not scoffed at.

This goes along with a growing belief that there is gain here and it

it probably would have been better if Rossi had
left the planet during the test but even then
someone would claim deception by quantum
manipulation through the spooky force.  I sure
wish that the Patent Office would grant him his

could reveal everything, go into full production
and the research coffers would fill up. Oh well, maybe some day.

All that excess?

In fact, here is nothing that can be called scientifically proved excess
energy at all... this is because the experiment is fatally flawed in using a
IR translucent reactor - and failing to coat it with a black coating - which
any grad student would know to do.

Where were the Swedes? Asleep at the wheel?

Apparently, there is an small hermetically sealed ampoule inside the
alumina, containing reactants. This ampoule is inside the larger translucent
tube, and there is net gain from it. We can agree on that.

The calculations of an expert with whom I am corresponding thinks the excess
could be in the range of COP 1.2 to 1.5 based on an assumed size for this
ampoule. It cannot be large. If it were to fill the entire open space, then
OK gain would be larger but far below the claim. Yet this is still gain and
I am overjoyed by that but not by these problems with the isotopes. That
stinks.

Anyway, I would not classify this result as all that excess... and in fact
the low COP could explain why these other things (suspicious isotopic
anomalies) have been included in a report that is well below expectations.

I will agree there is some gain, but perhaps half of what is claimed. That
provides motivation for fraud - when one is on record as claiming much
more.

First off let me get this out of the way, I am not a physicists so this

What if the conversion of Ni 58 and Li 7 happen relatively quickly so 
that very soon after the reaction is commenced there is almost a 
complete conversion of Ni 58 to Ni 62 and an almost complete conversion 
of Li 7 to Li 6 and what sustains the reaction from that point on is 
primarily a cyclic reaction between Ni 62 and Li 6. Just throwing this 
out there. Go ahead and start telling me that this couldn't happen, I

I find it quite a coincident that after 32 days approximately

Why has this not been mentioned?


Although none of the tests show it, I still believe that the ECAT
will run, as advertised, for at least 6 months on one charge. The
time for this test was set by the experimental team (and most
likely by their host, which was paying for the power).

I'm beginning to think that this transmutation was a burn-in
secondary effect, particularly for the Lithium, which was there
only to provide the hydrogen.

If you ignore the bump when they changed the input power levels
(files 4 to 6)  the COP increased almost linearly over the whole test.

So maybe the long term COP depends on these transmutations -- ie
the availability of (most likely) Ni62, and coincidentally Li6 --
and would have stabilized just a few days later when the
transmutation was complete.

I wonder if Rossi knew this would happen. However, he usually runs
his Ecats at higher power, so the burn-in might be much quicker 
-- and he's never analyzed the ash  that early.


He's also hinted that the 1MW baby at the customer has also
needed constant attention and adjustment (including being called
out in the middle of the night). Maybe it too is undergoing a
settling-in period --- it's also been running for less than a month.

But we won't get those results for at least a year, and they will
be purely internal documents.

In short, I think it IS coincidental that the Ni and Li
transmutation was nearly complete at the end of the run, but that
some other reaction continues beyond that point.

And even if the 1g charge DID have to be replaced monthly it would
probably still be economical.

Maybe it would be nice if we could define Cold Fusion, LENR , as

difference is between cold fusion fan boys and 
completely believe in its existence, and those 
who remain skeptical and demand proof in the 
form of useful technology, by which I mean a 
technology that delivers real, valuable commercial results.


Useful technology is not and never has been a 
valid scientific criterion to prove the 
existence of an effect. There are countless 
scientific effects and phenomena that have no 
practical use, yet which everyone agrees exist. 
Examples include high temperature 
superconductivity and supernova explosions. Many 
effects, such as electricity, had no practical 
use for decades after they were discovered. 
Nuclear fission was discovered in the 1890s but 
it had no practical use until 1945. 
Semiconductor research began in the 1920s but 
did not produce any useful results until 1949.


Gibbs' arguments make no sense. Furthermore, he 
calls distinguished scientists fanboys which is an outrageous insult.




Shanahan's conclusions are completely 
unjustified. He thinks that his opinion -- mere 
opinion -- automatically overrules rigorously 
peer-reviewed experimental results published in 
major journals. Results obtained by hundreds of 
distinguished experts from Los Alamos, BARC, the 
Princeton Plasma Fusion Lab and other 
world-class labs. Despite his ego, Shanahan does 
not know better than these people. The reasons 
given in his paper would never pass peer-review.


Cold fusion has been replicated thousands of 
times in hundreds of major laboratories. Here is 
the latest irrefutable result, from the Naval Research Laboratory:

Conclusions:

* Large excess power (≥ 1kJ) events generated in 5% of Pd90Rh10 cathodes

* Failed to disprove these results -- excess 
heat results observed at NRL are real!


Cells produced 40 times more output than input, 
and the heat far exceeded the limits of chemistry.


Gibbs' demand that researchers produce practical 
devices is unfair and unrealistic given the lack 
of funding and the academic politics.

In slide 39, mark said that the Pons-Fleischmann effect is just a

If this equivalency is true, could a tradeoff between the radiation 
and transmutation of cavatation in the LeClair effect be made by 
using nickel or palladium as the target material in the cavatation 
reactor where proton pairs on the surface of these metals might form 
and thermalize the nuclear reactivity of the water crystal(slide 16)?


On Slide 20, LeClair shows how a water crystal had carved a 5 foot

Frank;

I made the assumption you are on a city type pressurized water 
system, therefore no need to lift to roof. If your not, I see the 
dilemma. Pretty hard to do without some type of pump.

Frank,

How about just using black hose running in a back and forth 
direction from the bottom of your roof to its apex, with a 
temperature sensitive valve at the apex point, and a black hose, 
from the apex, running down the sunny side of your house into the 
hot water container in your basement. When the water at the apex of 
your roof attains a pre-selected temperature the valve opens and 
lets waterenter the system from the low point of your roof pushing 
the water into the container in the basement, until the temperature 
at the apex lowers to a predetermined temperature and shuts off. Repeat.

Thanks Bob.  The problem is that cold water must then be lifted to 
the roof from the basement.  It takes lift to get it to go up.

Just another observation. The spark plugs look as though they have 
been operated at a very high temperature. The writing on the plug 
which starts out blue, after operation have turned a rather rust 
color, indicative of high temperature use. And the general color of 
the metal of the spark plug that is visible has turned various 
colors, also the look of high temperature operation.

2012-07-15 Thread Robert Dorr


I had a look at the multi-page Defkalion press release May of 2012, 
and on page 18 of the 35 page document there is a picture of one of 
the spark plugs laying on a table. It is somewhat unusual in that it 
has a very long threaded body. I did some looking and found a similar 
plug from Ford Motorcraft Number SP-509. They are almost the same, 
short of a body that is not quite threaded all the way to the tip. 
Anyway I have to say that it most certainly a spark plug and not a glow plug.

Sparks are the only mechanism that can bring H2 temps that high and 
then quickly back down again.  Glow plugs will not result in a temp spike.



When you look at the end plates of DGT reactors, you will notice 
that the thermocouples are very close to the spark plug.  A series 
of sparks would quickly raise the temperature of the H2 gas in the 
vicinity of the sparks, which is also where the thermocouples 
are.  Then a second later, the hot H2 gas diffuses and the temps are 
down again.  Hence a temp spike.

After surfing the different glow plugs on the web, I believe that 
Jojo is correct, that what is shown in the pictures offered by DGT 
are probably spark plugs.


However, might there be misdirection in DGT's pictures?  Would a 
glow plug screw in place of the spark plug in their reactor?  DGT 
could have put the spark plugs in their reactor for the pictures, 
while they normally use glow plugs in those positions.  The spare 
spark plug on the table was obvious and suspiciously left in the open.


Another possibility is that DGT found that the glow plugs were 
wearing out too quickly and they modified their reactor for a 
different type of heater that would have greater life.  Since they 
were left with the tapped glow plug holes, they plugged the holes 
with the spark plugs.  The spark plugs are never shown connected, 
but everything else is shown connected.


The comment from WM about DGT having trouble with the glow plugs 
not lasting long enough goes with what Jojo observes for a glow plug.


I am not convinced either way.
