You may turn to the talk page of the Wikipedia article on Rydberg Matter to
find Prof Holmlid locked in a struggle with various Keepers of the Light
who wish to see the Rydberg Matter article deleted. The good news is that
this struggle took place in 2010 and the Wikipedia entry is still up.
Holmlid may well be a force to be reckoned with.

Re: [Vo]:Warp Drive detected?

I was happy to see "Mysterious Universe" show up on vortex.  If I could
drop a little plug here, Ben and Aaron are two very clever and gut
wrenchingly funny Australians who produce the podcast Mysterious Universe.
Devoted in equal parts to edgy science and tales of Sasquatch, it was from
them that I first learned of Andrea Rossi in 2011. They have the knack of
being very open minded but also nobody's fool when dealing with the
paranormal and it's crazy side. No surprise that they came upon and
publicized the story of the accidentally discovered warp drive. Listening
can be a powerful antidote to a gloomy frame of mind. Strongly recommended!

[Vo]:Air Flow Calorimetry

2014-10-12 Thread Steve High
Well I spent an hour or so in the HVAC world and sure enough Jed was right.
Apparently the standard for measuring air flow in a round duct involves
checking wind speed in 18 locations along three separate axes, which is
probably not practical when you are trying to assess air flow in a dynamic
system. On the other hand I think it is safe to assume that the purveyors
of natural gas have worked out a way to know precisely how much
petroleum is flowing through their pipes. In the lung doctors office you
can blow into a tube that will show precisely how much air your lungs are
moving. So if there was a monetary reason to efficiently know how much air
is moving through a system  we would probably have a reliable means of
doing so.

[Vo]:Air Flow Calorimetry

2014-10-12 Thread Steve High
  As a non-technical person who greatly enjoys and respects this forum
I am extremely cautious about opening new threads, so I have thought long
and hard about this and I think the time is right. I hope the brain trust
here will take a little time to answer.

   My question: why would this not work?

1) Build a well insulated box about the size of a generous walk in
closet, large enough to comfortably accommodate the ECat, its electronics,
the frame and other supporting equipment, as well as a couple human
technicians.

 2) Design and build an airflow system that, under steady
conditions, can most accurately measure the temperature of the air coming
in, leaving, and the volume of air being transferred.

  3) Perform a series of calibration runs using a resistance
heater, and accurately measure the power coming through the outflow under
all combinations of temperature and airflow (and pressure if that's an
issue). By comparing these results to the known power being input to the
resistance heater, one will know the power being lost through the insulated
walls for all combinations of temperature and airflow.

   4) Turn on the ECat and run it anyway you like provided it is at
or close to a steady state. Adjust the airflow so the ECat is kept at a
comfortable temperature. Follow four simple measurements, input power, temp
in, temp out and volume of air transferred. Run your results through your
calibrated software. Now you know how much power the ECat is producing.

I think it is fair to say at this juncture that the current
report if far from convincing, for regular posters at Vortex not to mention
the general public, due to the byzantine issues being raised concerning the
IR camera, the transmissivity of the alumina, and a host of other things. I
would venture a guess that one would not be able to find a single,
objective, expert member of the human race who could look at all this and
say for certain whether the results are valid or not. And even if such a
person existed, would he or she be able to convince the common person,
given all the objections being raised by the skeptics?

   I sincerely hope that Darden or one of his lieutenants is
following this forum because I think I have something important to say. In
order for the ECat to reach its stated goal of lifting fellow human beings
out of poverty the technology is going to have to prove itself convincing
to the common, reasonably well educated person, the journalist, the
politician, the lobbyist,  the board member of the philanthropic
organization that wishes to participate in the lifting up of humanity. In
other words somebody like me. I think I would be a thousand times more
convinced by a well-conducted airflow calorimetry than by the convoluted
investigations that have taken place up to this point. If the brain trust
at Vortex has any reason to say this wouldn't work, please let me know.


Re: [Vo]:Video of the test

2014-10-11 Thread Steve High
One thing is for sure-Rossi is still Rossi- and his shortcomings that
derive from being a genius mad scientist were painstakingly and lovingly
compiled in Lewan's book. I have reason to expect that his Industrial Heat
handlers will keep him more or less pointed in the right direction. It is
emblematic of Rossi's mad scientist psyche that he would think it the
proper thing for his enterprise for him to proclaim that his potential
comings and goings during the test were not being video-monitored. His
appreciation of the value of credibility is simply swamped by his
instinctive need to keep the snakes and clowns away from his baby. I hope
there are people at Industrial Heat who will understand that the unexpected
features of this new test will require much further explanation in order to
smooth the way for acceptance of the E Cat

Re: [Vo]:Pomp weighs in

2014-10-09 Thread Steve High
A point of clarification if I might. The siloxane was never present in the
reactor. It was the adhesive used to fix the ash particles, after removal
from the reactor, so they could be analyzed for isotopic composition. The
odd thing about the isotopic analysis: if you read the appendix you will
note that the analyzers had a SEM with dozens of differently sized and
shaped particles present, they chose three specific particles for analysis
and got different results for each. That seems to introduce a bias that
makes drawing conclusions problematic. If some of the other dozens of
particles that were present had been analyzed as well would that have
painted a different picture?

A little cross fertilization for ChemE. I recently stumbled across the
Suspicious Observers. The blogger puts up a five minute synopsis of earth
and space weather every morning at six AM. He uses absolutely gorgeous NASA
derived graphics to run through earthquakes, planetary storm and wind
patterns, and solar storm activity. The effect is mesmerizing. And he makes
a big deal about his impression that changes in solar flux trigger
earthquakes on Earth. Two days ago he put up his prediction that a sudden
upswing in solar activity along with the upcoming conjunction between Venus
and Jupiter, would likely produce an uptake in earthquakes. Sure enough
within two seconds  of clicking the youtube video about his prediction I
received notification of a 5.8 temblor in Iran via my Iphone earthquake
app. Impressive. If ChemE hasn't seen this I think he would like it.

Re: [Vo]:a new guest editorial by AXIL

2014-08-16 Thread Steve High
Hey guys is there any chance that the discussion on radiometric dating
could be moved to another thread? Axil put a lot of work into his Egoout
posting which I think is well-written and contains a number of interesting
ideas. I would love to see these ideas getting batted around by the learned
folk at vortex, but that seems to be getting crowded out by the discussion
on radiometrics and religion. I would like to read that too, just on a
different thread. The crux of Axil's idea seems to be that nanomagnetic
excitation of the nucleus results in the production of virtual mesons that
turn into muons that go on to promote  proton-proton interactions. I am
wondering if these individual steps have received scientific exposition or
validation elsewhere, and can all this take place without having to deal
with the dreaded gamma ray?

[Vo]:Re: [Vo]:RE: [Vo]:Re: [Vo]:NASA Telescope Observes Signal That Can’t Be Explained By Known Physics

2014-08-06 Thread Steve High
Well I have spent a lively afternoon communicating with Randell Mills via
his youtube channel in between seeing patients. My thought was that if he
had made a specific prediction of a 3.5 KeV emission signature PRIOR to the
release of that figure by Bulbul et al, that would be a remarkable
hitting-it-out-of-the ballpark moment for his theory . He responded with
the following:

(Mills:) The formula for the X-ray feature with a 3.48 keV cutoff appears
years ahead of this discovery in Chp 5 of my GUTCP.  The observed line is
for the transition involving the abundant reactants of H and H(1/4)

http://www.blacklightpower.com/wp-content/uploads/pdf/Chapter-5_3.5_keV_feature.pdf

http://www.blacklightpower.com/theory-2/book/book-download/
The first appears to be a realtime updated version of his text that
mentions both the 3.48 keV cutoff and the Chandra data. Having the Chandra
results already in hand makes mentioning the 3.48 cutoff figure less
compelling. The second document appears to be his text as it stood in
Spring 2014, before the Chandra results were released. If you scroll to
page 221 you will see the same language as in the first document, but there
is no 3.48 prediction, unless that is embedded in the numbers that are
presented.
So has he hit it out of the park or not? I am not skilled enough to be able
to tell.

It occurred to me to consider the heat dissipation issue in terms of 100
watt incandescent light bulbs, acknowledging that most of the energy
emitted  from an incandescent bulb is in the form of heat. So how many 100
watt incandescent bulbs would be equivalent to the 15 megawatts of excess
heat energy? My math tells me 150,000. Mill's engineers will need to come
up with a way to disperse the heat of 150,000 100 watt bulbs from a one by
one by one meter box.I still think that's going to take some work.

Re: [Vo]:Don Hotson has passed away

2014-06-18 Thread Steve High
Here is a sure indication of his value, to physicists with open minds:
decades of asking obvious but inconvenient questions (where does spin
energy come from?) providing testable answers with theories that predicted
observations that have subsequently been made, but remain unexplained to
the general consensus---and no Wikipedia entry. Wow.
(I gleaned this from the Infinite Energy article. I hope I got it right)

I agree with having an interested public.   I also think that having a highly 
interested stakeholder could prove useful in the political realm. To that end I 
have been trying to get the trade association for the drought ravaged central 
California growers interested. If the coastal cities had enough available 
energy to economically suck on a straw from the Pacific, then the growers would 
have enough water to grow their veggies and stay in business. Not surprisingly 
I have yet to receive a nibble in response. But if the upcoming report is

 The folks up north are apparently a bit peeved over being slimed by their

I can imagine that it's a bit unpleasant to find your reputation being trashed 
in this manner by your government-sponsored radio network. The radio message 
was very simple: Rossi is a scam so anyone supporting him is a fool. So they 
decided they didn't feel like waiting for their next report to come out and 
made a bit of a pre-emptive jump at the next stage. The wording in their final 
paragraph is interesting. "Such tests have now been carried out and the results 
will be reported in a new scientific article."
This is not a statement you would be at all likely to make if you are 
about to publish a report that would undermine your previous report. Especially 
if your reason for making the statement is to fight off accusations that you 
were taken in by a scammer. So what effect does this have on the "Rossi is 
Real" equation we've been hassling over?

Re: [Vo]:Anomalous heat production validated by a Young Dude

2014-05-25 Thread Steve High
Soa presumably capable researcher puts hydroxy nickel in a sealed crucible, 
matches it with an equal mass of indium, heats the crucibles to 300 degrees and 
measures an elevated heat signature from the active crucible. This result is 
invalidated because there are no hydrinos? I would prefer to see if the 
experiment can stand on its own legs, and being relatively simple in design, 
get replicated in short order. If anyone listening has access to a differential 
scanning calorimeter you could probably do it yourself.

Re: [Vo]:Interview with the CEO of Defkalion

IIRC, a while back somebody proposed that the reason Defkalion wanted to go on 
the Canadian stock market was that there was less supervision in Canada 
regarding potentially fraudulent stock market offerings than under the American 
SEC. There was that seemingly bright moment about a year ago when DFK was 
apparently ready to  go public on the Canadian market.

Re: [Vo]:Interview with the CEO of Defkalion

2014-05-21 Thread Steve High
Well we could perform sort of a thought experiment and imagine that Defkalion 
had been issuing stock under the auspices of the SEC. My hunch is that at this 
point they would be at or over the undefined line that John Rohner crossed when 
he got busted. I think that what happened with Rohner was that several of his 
stockholders had suffered all they could take and loudly complained to the SEC 
which duly took action. The SEC complaint specifically stated that there was no 
evidence that Rohner's process was based in reality and was therefore 
fraudulent. And Rohner was loudly proclaiming that he had  a functional device 
which he clearly did not. Still a little wiggle room left for Defkalion I would 
think, provided they are actually able to demonstrate something producing at 
least a little excess heat

Re: [Vo]:Oxygen to hydrogen?

Yes, look at how little oxygen is present in the exhaust gas, verified by a 
"reputable" testing company. I'm assuming that this ain't hydrolysis-wouldn't 
hydrolysis give you roughly one third oxygen? Listen to the interview if you 
have the time. The inventor appears to be blithely suggesting that there is 
wholesale conversion of oxygen to hydrogen taking place in there. Huh what?
I find it fascinating that a person with the integrative skills to produce the 
patents we find in his résumé, would be able to smilingly suggest that he has a 
machine that uses 700 watts of electric power to convert oxygen to hydrogen. 
Wouldn't that be a rather endothermic procedure?
It increasingly feels like we are peering through a looking glass at what could 
mildly be described as an Alice-in-Wonderland parallel universe. Once the door 
is open wide enough something is bound to come through. Are you prepared to 
meet the Red Queen, or perhaps the Singularity that surpasses all 
understanding? I really want to be around to hear the Rest of the Story!

One thing that's different about this free energy scheme is how easy it would 
be to "close the loop" ie use the output to provide the input and disconnect 
the system from any power supply. My assumption is that a gas powered generator 
could be or already has been modified to run on hydrogen gas. That makes it a 
no brainer to use the hydrogen output to provide the electric power at the 
front end. That also makes this company's scientific claims (400 times over 
unity) so easily falsifiable. If the company won't agree to close the loop take 
your money off the table.

In 1996 Podkletnov had this paper approved for publication in Journal of 
Physics D but someone at the Journal who felt the need to put Junk Science in 
it's place leaked the paper to a Deputy Sheriff for the straight-n-narrow. In 
the ensuing furor the paper was withdrawn and Podkletnov lost his job at 
Finland's Tampere University. From the 2006 report just cited by Axil it would 
appear that Podkletnov was possibly on the right track.

A question: what would be the net effect of all these extra electrons being 
pulled over from the Dirac Sea? Would this not eventually produce some kind of 
unholy electrostatic issue. Or worse?

 My other thought was how cool it would be if a major stakeholder were 
to publicly demand a investigation into LENR developments. I considered the 
produce growers in California who are facing a horrific drought and will be 
locked in a life and death struggle for water with the coastal cities. My guess 
is these people would not be adverse to a technology solution that would lead 
to affordable desalinization. People with nothing to lose and everything to 
gain. With that in mind I have started emailing the science and technology 
person employed by the Western Growers Association but have yet to elicit a 
response. This could be a pressure point that would turn the tide. Perhaps some 
of the professor types on Vortex would be interested in helping me to fill her

Re: [Vo]:More on the Mizuno presentation

2014-03-24 Thread Steve High
Having been at the meeting I would be pleased to add an item of clarification. 
The input gas was in fact molecular deuterium. An innovation that they made a 
big deal of at the meeting was a device placed inside the reactor that allowed 
them to monitor the composition of the circulating gas in real time, in terms 
of atomic number. Thus at the beginning of the run they were registering atomic 
number 4 (molecular deuterium) and during the run there was a progressive 
decline in 4. A transient rise in 3 occurred (they didn't know if it was 
tritium or possibly 
Helium 3) then that level declined again. The item that progressively rose 
during the run was atomic number 2(they didn't know if that was atomic 
deuterium or molecular hydrogen). Any speculation from the group as to why that 
might happen? As an matter of coincidence or god forbid synchronicity the 
output of Fisher's polyneutron theory was molecular hydrogen (IIRC)
The opening slide was an image of Japanese gradeschoolers wearing masks 
for protection from Fukushimas monstrous effluent. Underscore an enhanced 
willingness on the part of Japanese government and industry to get behind 
Mizuno's innovation

[Vo]:Goodnight from the MIT colloquium

2014-03-23 Thread Steve High
Well the conference is over and I would like to tell you about the serious 
emotions that bubbled up at the end. Dr Hagelstein had the last word and he 
wished to observe that today was the 25th anniversary of the Pons and 
Fleischmann announcement. I've noticed before that he tends to have a somewhat 
pessimistic view of the prospects for cold fusion. He described the field as 
hanging on by its fingernails, and recounted how few research groups are active 
now compared to four years after the announcement. He also said he was feeling 
a glimmering of hope, and acknowledged the apparent success and good feeling 
generated by the just completed colloquium.
He then moved to recognize the friends that are no longer with us, and 
literally hit a brick wall. His eyes filled with tears and he was not able to 
speak the name of Martin Fleischman or the others. At the suggestion of the 
audience he wrote on the chalkboard "Thanks for twenty five years of struggle 
and hard work". I sensed that his sadness was for the deceased, but also for 
the wearying burden he himself has carried for the last twenty-five years. All 
those years of pushing a stone uphill, the best years of his life, with so 
little support or recognition. I say the good doctor has no reason to feel bad 
about his show of emotion. The whole conference was touched and found meaning 
in it. Now for those of us who are becoming more certain that the winds of 
change are blowing at last, to find the gumption to push this thing over the 
finish line!

John C Fisher. Undergraduate at MIT in the forties!!! He says he's he solved 
the LENR quandary with polyneutron theory. A clump of naked neutrons sitting in 
lattice. Absorbs deuterium atoms and spits out hydrogen atoms plus energy. 
(Then the hydrogen atoms recombine to hydrogen molecules) A real outlier model 
but it would correlate Mizuno's news of yesterday that the final gas product 
from his reactor has an atomic number of two which would likely be hydrogen 
molecules. Audience  respectful of an impressively sharp performance from a man 
who has to be in his mid nineties. The audience objects that the binding force 
that would hold a polyneutron together is unknown. Fisher points out that the 
binding force that holds a deuteron together is unknown.

deuterium pumped in ie no loading needed. 2) 75 watts excess heat over thirty 
five days. 3) gas composition monitored during run (as atomic number): 4 (D 2) 
progressively decreased 3 (?tritium- they couldn't say) rose and fell as an 
intermediate product,  2 (that would be H2 or atomic D) rose as the final 
product. How does that fit in, smart dudes?

Greetings from the MIT colloquium. As far as I know I may be the only Vortex 
follower here so I will provide updates as long as my iPhone battery holds out
  Saturday morning started with Dr Ahern. He presented the bittersweet tale 
of a garage tinkerer from New Hampshire who called him up to evaluate a 
nanopowder powerpack the guy built and installed in the trunk of his  electric 
car. Ahern measured it and found to his satisfaction that the car's electric 
battery was being recharged continuously by this device which was also able to 
power a sixty watt lightbulb for six consecutive days while still adding to the 
net charge on the batteries. End of story: the tinkerer calls Ahern to say he 
wants to give Ahern the device but two days later collapses into a vegetative 
state with a brain aneurysm. Ahern goes to pickup the device only to find that 
the tinkerer has diassembled it into meaningless parts. Where have we heard 
this story before? I guess I'll add it to my MU (mysterious universe) file
