 Tungsten does not vaporize. It doesn't even melt. Instead, it oxidizes in

 When a piece of copper metal (e.g. copper pipe) is placed in the flame, the

Some information on HHO from Moray King. I like the idea of isolating the
water clusters through hydrogen evaporation. Or maybe use a molecular
sleeve to trap the water clusters.

That would be a good test of the nano crystal theory when used to excite a
catalytic converter into combustion by using only nano particles and not
hydrogen.

But how does a hydrogen combustion process that produces only 2,660 °C in

I have heard about people saying they can reduce gas consumption in autos.
It has never taken any commercial format.
I have a few questions though:
1. If HHO produce this high temperature, then it sounds to me to be logical
that it saves gas in an Otto motor. The gasoline will explode in an
instantaneously increased pressure due to HHO increases the temperature and
therefore the pressure (compression). Is that how it works?
2. Is it not true that if we can produce any 'heat motor' with higher
temperature we will increase COP? At 6,000 C temperature and 20C on the
exhaust a heat motor should be competitive with an electrical motor when it
comes to COP.
3. If 1 and 2 is correct then a LENR process at COP 2 would be feasible as
it at least will have excess energy after feeding its own input. Is that
correct?
I am OK with a lesson in basics:)

Re: [Vo]:HHO welding is LENR

2014-03-18 Thread Edmund Storms
Confusion seems to exist between energy and temperature. A very high 
temperature can be produced using very little energy if the energy is highly 
concentrated. This is done regularly using lasers and electric arcs.  In the 
case of HHO, the chemical energy released when H2O forms is applied directly to 
the material where it is released by catalytic action. The skin feels no heat 
because the reaction is not catalyzed by the skin. 

This gas would make a poor fuel in an engine because the reaction produces a 
reduction in volume of gas, with only a temporary increases produced by heating 
the gas.  In contrast, gasoline produces a large increase on gas volume, which 
is used to move the piston.  

However, use of such a gas might improve the efficiency of gasoline combustion. 
 More convenient ways exist to do this, which have been applied over the years, 
thereby making the gasoline engine increasingly efficient. However, I have seen 
no evidence that LENR can be initiated this way.  Even if it could, the heat 
energy would not be suitable to add much extra push to the piston before the 
heat was dissipated. The process needs a permanent increase in gas volume, not 
just a temporary increase cause by increased temperature.

Re: [Vo]:HHO welding is LENR

2014-03-18 Thread AlanG
I don't think the tungsten is vaporizing - at least there's no evidence 
that supports that contention. In the example video, the surface of the 
rod appears to be melted, so the flame must be at least 3500 C, higher 
than produced by H2+O combustion. There's enough velocity in the flame 
to blow the melted surface layer off the rod in small droplets, which 
might oxidise when they leave the reducing part of the flame. This 
process progressively continues to thin the rod until it breaks.


So the real question raised here is how monatomic hydrogen is created in 
the system. It's called HHO but the simple electrolysis process as 
used in typical HHO generators would yield 2H2O - 2H2 + O2.  So how 
does it instead give 2H2O - 4H1 +O2 ?


It doesn't seem likely a H2+O flame by itself could disassociate 
unburned H2, because H2 splitting is highly endothermic. In the Langmuir 
process the needed energy comes from the electric arc. I suppose there 
could be plasma fusion somewhere in the flame. It would be nice to check 
one of these torches for gammas.

what you mean with incommensurable quantities. Are you just supporting Ed

 However, I have very little experience from production of HHO gas and has
learnt that it does not exist because of what Alan G. explains. I think I
am back to my old believe that the talk about HHO gas is just wishful
thinking or in worst case scam.
Excusable or not my confusion (probably caused by ignorance) is now more or
less eliminated. Good enough for me - thanks.

To Ed . I did not mean that the LENR process would be improved. My thinking
was that if a 'heat motor' could have very good efficiency like 80 -90% due
to high input temperature and low (room temperature) the LENR result which
you explained previously need to be in a level of five or so to compensate
for the losses due to energy losses when converting the energy both to the
loop back and to consumption.

What causes HHO explosive/implosive reaction is the same mechanism the
makes the Papp engine function. In fact, Papp's first patent for his engine
was a closed HHO engine, where water never exited the piston. What is
commonly understood today as a HHO engine is an open engine design, where
water in the form of HHO is continually fed into the engine.

In the experiments conducted by Russ on the Papp engine (the Popper), the
Plasma both expanded and then contracted with considerable force.

This is a result of the way nano crystals explode and then reform under the
influence of pulsed Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) radiation.

Papp used HHO to blow a hole into the floor of the desert where he ripped
apart a .75 inch thick stainless steel pipe. R.Mills now says the nascent
water powers his latest invention where a huge explosion of water
catalyzed by his magic dust takes place.

I have no experience of HHO and therefore I supposed that if there was

to heat the relatively small amount of gas (with a much smaller heat

That is right, Dave. Tungsten oxide is volatile and will vaporize at much lower 
temperatures than pure tungsten, which makes tungsten look as if it is 
valorizing.  

In addition, the quoted max. temperature for H2-O2 combustion is for the 
temperature of the flame. This is not the maximum possible temperature. If the 
energy is released on the surface of the W, the temperature could get much 
higher.

 This gas would make a poor fuel in an engine because the reaction
 produces a reduction in volume of gas, with only a temporary increases
 produced by heating the gas.  In contrast, gasoline produces a large
 increase on gas volume, which is used to move the piston.

 However, use of such a gas might improve the efficiency of gasoline
 combustion.  More convenient ways exist to do this, which have been 
 applied
 over the years, thereby making the gasoline engine increasingly efficient.
 However, I have seen no evidence that LENR can be initiated this way.  
 Even
 if it could, the heat energy would not be suitable to add much extra push
 to the piston before the heat was dissipated. The process needs a 
 permanent
 increase in gas volume, not just a temporary increase cause by increased
 temperature.

 I take it as if you just supported Ed Storms post. I understand he is
 saying that it is a chemical (catalytic) action in the welding example.
 I have no experience of HHO and therefore I supposed that if there was
 enough heat capacity in the gas (HHO) to heat the metal it should be enough
 to heat the relatively small amount of gas (with a much smaller heat
 capacity than metal). Yes, that might be ignorant but it is not a very
 'high ceiling' if you have problem overseeing that kind of ignorance.

 To Ed . I did not mean that the LENR process would be improved. My
 thinking was that if a 'heat motor' could have very good efficiency like 80
 -90% due to high input temperature and low (room temperature) the LENR
 result which you explained previously need to be in a level of five or so
 to compensate for the losses due to energy losses when converting the
