Ever since one of our number  “noone noone” posted this 
 
http://www.mail-archive.com/vortex-l@eskimo.com/msg49026.html
 
I have been concerned that I have let Rossi’s secret out of the bag to his 
detriment and that secret has been used by Defkalion Green Technologies to 
reverse engineer Rossi’s reactor core.
 
 
Rossi just can’t keep his mouth shut and his loose lips has had many 
opportunities to let hints about his technology out during working 
conversations with highly knowledgeable and competent Defkalion engineering 
personnel to a point where reverse engineering his system is possible. I know 
his many disclosures have comforted me greatly in my curiosity about the most 
intimate inner workings of his system
 
 
Rossi’s intellectual property rights are also weak at best and there is a 
strong possibility that someone else might well claim payment from Defkalion 
for intellectual property associated with Rossi’s system. 
 
 
For a company in Defkalions position, it is good due diligence business 
practice to attempt to reverse engineer Rossi’s system in lieu of paying a 
large royalty for his secret.
 
 
Defkalion may have gotten their own homegrown version of Rossi’s core working 
well enough to encourage them into a delaying strategy to string out the 
payment of Rossi’s royalty disbursement as long as progress in their reverse 
engineering efforts showed promise. This payment delay reached a point where 
eventually Rossi through in the towel in frustration over doing business with 
Defkalion. 
 
 
 
With the passage of time and concerted effort to understand Rossi’s technology, 
Defkalion may come up with a competitive alternative to Rossi’s system; only 
time will tell.

Hard to well if it's actually conflicting with what Rossi as said 
(technically).  

They say it's built AROUND the core (not that they have one), AND that they

[Vo]:How to present arguments against cold fusion critics

2011-08-11 Thread Jouni Valkonen
Hallo!

I have discussed on other forum about cold fusion. I have, however
some problems with arguments, because those critics used very powerful
sounding, but probably false argument, that if cold fusion is real,
why it is published on B-rate scientific journals? I tried to explain,
that they are not necessary B-rate journals, but respectful and normal
scientific publications, where the basic research is published.
However presenting this argument is rather difficult, because
opposition thinks that only Science and Nature are A-rate journals,
and I do not have extensive knowledge on cold fusion research.

Therefore if someone knows some high impact factor journals that has
published recent could fusion findings, I would appreciate to have
some examples. Also I would like to have some advice how to deal with
this kind of arguments. Certainly discussing on the sociology of
science is rather difficult approach, because sociological arguments
require lots of text and they still remain vague and difficult to
understand. Although, I think that it is unavoidable, because Science
and Nature does not like cold fusion much. Also Science Magazine
blundered with bubble fusion, therefore I think that it is extra
alerted to publish anything controversial on the field. On the other
hand as they make money from scientific breakthroughs, they are
eagerly waiting final cold fusion breakthrough. Because cold fusion
will sell, a lot!

In summary, how do I disproof claim that all cold fusion researchers
are crackpotters and all magazines that publish cold fusion are B-rate
or less journals?

I accidentally hit the send button before I was complexly finished composing
the original post.

 

Let me follow up  my take on sam. 

 

As far as I can tell Sam presents no actual evidence in his post as to why
he thinks BLP  Mills is a scam operation. What he does state, and this is
quite revealing, is that he is upset over the fact that three of his own
science articles posted out to Wikipedia had been removed whereas Dr. Mills
posts were not.

 

IOW, Sam sounds like a crank extraordinaire to me, and a rather spiteful
one at that.

 

From Daniel:

 

 I guess Witch Doctor is right about BLP. ;)

 

In regards to prior Witch Doctor commentary on BLP, I don't believe they
have ever stated anything that implies Mills  Co. is a scam operation. Far
from it. As I understand it, in all prior critiques their main concern has
always been that from their perspective BLP's CQM theory was inaccurate, and
that when those inaccuracies presumably become more obvious to all involved
it may cause a lot of internal turmoil. (This perspective has also been
speculated within Vortex as well.) This combined with that fact that from
the WD perspective the company has not made sufficient progress in
capitalizing on the phenomenon they have detected, especially considering
the number of years BLP has been working in the field. That does not in any
way constitute statements that imply that BLP is a scam operation, nor that
they haven't detected excess heat. I would suspect that BLP has most
certainly detected excess heat. It's more a matter that they have yet to
find a way to engineer a process that can commercialize on their findings.
The implication I take from their commentary is that perhaps inaccuracies
within the CQM theory itself may be directly/indirectly responsible in
hampering commercial progress, but that is only speculation on my part. 

 

Disclaimer: All of WD commentary is unsubstantiated in traditional
scientific terms.

This is a reasonable question, from my point of view as a cold fusion
fan, serving as a unqualified scientific layman who has been offering
painstaking, objective reviews of cold fusion papers since December,
1996 -- specializing in looking at all the common sense, nitty gritty
details in the papers.

Publication in any journal is not the issue now, but publication in a
blog with full details and sharing of all public feedback without
editing or censorship on the same blog, of any experiment that always
finds some anomaly of excess heat, radiations, transmutations, and
large isotopic shifts, however humble the finding, that is
independently reproduced by at least one other lab and reported fully
on the same blog, would be enough to lead to more replications by
other labs, and  accelerating progress from the fully shared public
feedback.  Any such blog would be a scientific journal.

It is time to stop the biased, self-defeating practice of labeling and
excluding participation of critics by calling them pathological --
if anyone who chooses to be a prominent player in public discussions
wants to encourage participation by a wide spectrum of motivated,
qualified other players.   It is up to each player to maintain a high
level of courtesy and clarity, for the huge mutual benefit for

I disagree. There is also some disagreement on the aspect of how one
determines an independent test. BLP would say yes independent
tests have been performed. Skeptics, OTOH, would cry foul.

IMO, BLP is an honorable company. They believe in their product. What
remains to be seen is whether BLP can deliver on their vision. I would
speculate that the BLP process, whatever that process might be, is
largely defined by perceptions laid out in Randy's grandiose CQM
theory. Personally, my perception of CQM is that it probably does
reveal certain secrets (extraordinarily so) as to what's happening on
the atomic scale. However, that does not necessarily mean that ALL the
secrets as revealed in the CQM book are accurate.

 ... They would easily have money to test all
 other theories of LENR and come with something useful.

It is not in BLP's invested interest to test other theories. As far as
BLP is concerned CQM is the only way to go. From their perspective,
why bother giving lip service to false prophets. Nevertheless, it
remains to be seen who the false prophets are. Often, it's the
prophets themselves who turn out to be the last to discover the
falseness of their claims.

In the end, BLP may still surprise us. They may still pull something
interesting out of the hat.

You are not privy to the results, so you have no idea whether there is a

product delivery of some sort. You do no know, and you cannot judge. Yes, it
might be a scam, but until one of the investors files suit, you have no way
of knowing this.

Many scientific research and RD projects cost large sums and come to
nothing. Hundreds of millions are spent on cancer drugs that do not work.
The Japanese NEDO cold fusion project, and the 60-year-long $100 billion
plasma fusion program were abject failures and a waste of money. But not
scams.

(There is some evidence that the NEDO program actually produced positive
results which they covered up. That would be a scam in the other direction.
Assuming that is not true, it was not a scam.)

No. A tokamak costs billions, even for one that does not produce useful
levels of energy. You can't buy one that produces useful energy at any

http://nextbigfuture.com/2011/08/defkalion-claims-they-have-energy.html



_

It is a mystery why nobody seems to be giving DGT (or PDGT) enough credit
for being able to enlist credible scientific expertise, and then to
replicate a 17 year old experiment in the public domain. These are
intelligent people, and they are wealthy.

Unless this drama is about stupidity or poverty, then they easily could have
retained all rights to E-Cat technology (or resold their position to many
companies). But consider that when the truth is finally known - DGT may not
have wanted the contract at the original price. IOW, this could be a
bargaining strategy since they had discovered that the Thermacore reactor
works as well, or almost as well.

Of course, if it is all about having no money, then that is another way to
look at it. Everyone seems to have backed off of that possibility for now.
And most of the people involved are reputed to be very wealthy. Anyone with
a few million can hire good scientists in the USA and top scientists over
there. Why would they not have hired good scientists if they have both the
capital and the inspiration (from having seen E-Cat first hand)? 

All that DGT needed to do in this instance - assuming that all of the
parties are honest is to present to the Greek government with a working
reactor that proved to be safe while producing substantial heat and which
they CAN and Will take into production if they have to. The testing agency
would likely not have even tested the claim of excess heat, but there could
easily have been excess, if they had looked for it. The testers must know
the identity of all the ingredients which are in there, so DGT can tell them
every detail, if this is based on Thermacore's work.

It does not matter if it worked extremely well or moderately well. The
testing was for safety- not performance. Thus the Greek Officials could have
verified the safety of a Hyperion reactor that is marketable, even if not
the E-Cat. Apparently they did verify something, but has anyone actually
seen the translated report? And most of all - DGT could be willing to go to
market with a Thermacore knock-off, even if the E-Cat is better. That is
their bargaining chip.

Even without knowing the precise ingredients of the E-Cat design, DGT could
very easily have read and replicated the following paper from 1994,
submitted to the US agency DARPA by one the most respected high-tech
companies in the World: Thermacore (they actually invented the 'heat pipe'
for instance).

http://free-energy.xf.cz/H2/papers/Anomalous-Heat-from-Atomic-Hydrogen.pdf

We have referred to this paper dozens of times over the years, so it is no
secret. If DGT do not tune into vortex of course, then there is no hope for
them :-)

While it is true that such an old reactor design, which came along before
the advent of nano anything - might not have been as robust as E-Cat, this
old design produced many watts of excess energy for a long time (Thermacore
later was able to run it over a year in continuous OU mode - up to 100,000
excess watt-hrs has been mentioned) and best of all for the purposes of this
official testing: zero radioactivity. But simply going 'nano' in 2011 would
probably have improved it significantly.

This 1994 episode is the greatest missed opportunity in all of alternative
energy. Shortly after this report, the company was sold to Modine, many of
the participants took early retirement - and the new owners dropped the
project for unknown reasons.

At any rate, this 17 year old design could have been built in a few weeks
and have passed the Greek Gov'm't tests with flying colors. Rossi may not
have even known about it. It might sell like hotcakes if the price comes in
at much less than E-Cat.

Thus, everyone is as honest as they can be about what they have said, given
that they did not know the machinations taking place behind the scenes.

It is even possible, as we have been saying, that by simply going to 'nano'
with the old Thermacore design, DGT would have greatly exceeded the old 1994
results, and that breakthrough is what led them to pursue a strategy of
renegotiating the original contract to get a better deal, or to delay the
large sum further into the future. 

The more one thinks about the alternatives, the suggestion of this episode
being little more than a bargaining chip in a larger financial drama, is
likely to be at least partly accurate. Nothing else makes as much sense.

Re: [Vo]:The Galantini report examined in detail

2011-08-11 Thread Abd ul-Rahman Lomax

I'm asserting that there are defects in the Galantini report, of two kinds.

1. He does not provide data to substantiate what he claims, which 
includes specifying exactly what equipment he used. He makes a point 
that he measured pressure, but he did not report the result as an 
instrumental reading.

2. He makes major errors in interpretation and explanation.

He takes, in fact, a very odd tack, not what I'd have expected at 
all. He takes readings of g/m^3 that are lower than those for pure 
vapor, and then considers them to represent missing vapor, i.e., as 
if the readings are telling us how much water is present as vapor in 
a cubic meter, with the implication that the meter can measure this. 
Instead, the meter simply ignores whatever might be present as liquid 
water, measures the vapor phase, only, as a percentage of water vapor 
in air, in that phase, then extrapolates this as a calculated value 
of water mass per cubic meter.


In fact, total water per cubic meter increases with decreasing steam 
quality. Think about it, Jed. He's clearly misunderstood what the 
meter is telling him. He's confused meter error, which is 3.5% at the 
RH involved, i.e., over 95%, with missing mass of water vapor.


Galantini's description provides no basis for estimation of steam 
quality. None.


The interpretation of no overflow water, considering all that is 
known or reasonably assumed about the E-cat, is shallow and shaky.


Further, this could even be true at the moment of measurement.

The entire approach to measuring enthalpy is corrupt and fraught with 
hazards. You know how to do it right. Rossi deliberately avoided that.

The Rossi secret sauce hydride reaction must be somewhere included in this

thermocouple display on the screen, and he took measurements when it hit 
100.1°C or above. I do not suppose he used the temperature function in 
his instrument. The screen display has 4 digits and I think at least one 
is significant, assuming they calibrated or they have good quality 
thermocouples or RTDs.


I don't know that's what he did. It is what I would do.

The process of establishing a power plant in Xanthi that uses
hydrogen-nickel fusion continues, as the problems that seemed to exist
between the inventor and the company undertaking the building of this plant
have been overcome, and everything will now continue as originally planned.


Clouds have been seen in recent days in relations between the inventor of
the device producing energy from hydrogen-nickel fusion, Andrea Rossi, and
Defkalion Green Technologies, the company which is planning to install the
relevant equipment for the power plant in Xanthi. Andrea Rossi, in his
recent statement, talked about suspending cooperation with the Greek company
Defkalion, and of turning to a big company in the U.S. instead. But as in
all dramas, the crisis in relations between the inventor and the company has
been overcome, and arrangements are now progressing normally.

Channel 6 contacted the the CEO of Defkalion, Mr Ksanthoulis, who makes it
clear that Mr. Rossi has every right to cooperate with the US company since
their agreement does not prohibit it. However, what is important is that any
problems are overcome and the investment proceeds as originally planned.

In closing Mr. Xanthoulis attributed all this disruption to the pressures on
both Defkalion and on Mr Rossi, who according to Mr. Xanthoulis, was more
vulnerable to such pressure.

the nickel powder alone does not produce heat.



The Rossi process is the amalgamation of multiple mechanisms each of which
when taken separately fail to produce meaningful results.



Only when properly combined and taken together does the set of mechanisms
produce results.

 Hi,
 [snip]
 This reminds me of a pre 17th century argument that the Earth cannot be 
 turning.
 As everyone knows if the Earth was turning then the ground would move away 
 from you whenever you jumped in the air. However from our experience we know 
 it does not, theorefore the Earth is not turning.
 
 Actually the old argument is correct, in concept, but wrong in magnitude.
 In order to come down in exactly the same spot (assuming a perfectly vertical
 jump), one would have to maintain the same angular velocity (degrees of arc /
 second) in the air that one had on the ground (and, due to the larger radius,
 travel a larger distance at a higher linear velocity parallel to the surface).
 Since one's linear velocity is not going to increase (conservation laws), 
 one
 always comes down a tiny distance West of where one started.
 Regards,
 

According to the old the argument if you were jumping at the equator and stayed 
in the air for a second in that time the ground would be expected to move about 
1500 hundred feet. If you are wondering why people thought like this, it is 
because in aristotelian physics lateral motion could not happen without an 
applied force, whereas downward or falling motion was considered natural or 
unforced. It was thought a thrown stone would continue to move laterally 
because the air would continually rush in behind it and keep pushing it forward.

[Vo]:Speaking of finely divided nickel

2011-08-11 Thread Jones Beene
Nano is the key to many anomalies, and the follow numbers tend to support
a surprising conclusion, to wit: Rossi's industrial secret catalyst is NOT
nearly as good as the original .

 

In 1994 in a series of experiments lasting over a year, but before nickel
nanopowder was available, Thermacore was able to get ~50 watts of continuous
excess energy - output over the input - from what works out to 143 cm^2
surface area of nickel. 

 

This is based on the surface area of polished capillary tubing, which was in
contact with a catalyst (one of several alkali metals, as specified in CQM
theory based on Rydberg's constant). If the surface area had been etched and
pitted, as would be expected, then the true surface area could be a multiple
of that, but probably not over 400 cm^2.

 

BTW Rydberg was a Swede, and his constant was found experimentally - since
it predated the development of quantum theory. But nowadays, it can be
derived from quantum mechanics, which gives it extra credence. Perhaps this
is a detail which has attracted the Swedes to the recent incarnation of this
early experiment.

 

http://free-energy.xf.cz/H2/papers/Anomalous-Heat-from-Atomic-Hydrogen.pdf

 

Now fast-forward 17 years. The spec sheets from nano-nickel suppliers say
that 400,000 cm^2/gm of surface area is available from this geometry as
opposed to the ~400 cm^2/gm of the older tubing. 

 

Therefore, only one gram of nano nickel should give an increase of
(400,000/400) or about 3 orders of magnitude more surface area. If surface
area correlates well to excess energy, and this is almost a given - then
this incredible increase should easily push the 50 watts seen in 1994 above
the heat level now claimed by AR. 

 

Is there a surprising conclusion that one draw from this set of
circumstances ?

 

Guess what, sports fans: this could indicates that Rossi's catalyst may NOT
be as good as the potassium carbonate used initially ! 

 

But even if it is exactly the same catalyst (or one the other alkali metals
mentioned in the CQM theory) - then this fact, plus the old experiment, may
also indicate why the present inventor has been reluctant to disclose its
true identity.

Inexpensive catalyst that makes hydrogen gas 10 times faster than natural enzyme
http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-08-inexpensive-catalyst-hydrogen-gas-faster.html
Looking to nature for their muse, researchers have used a common protein to 
guide the design of a material that can make energy-storing hydrogen gas. The 
synthetic material works 10 times faster than the original protein found in 
water-dwelling microbes, the researchers report in the August 12 issue of the 
journal Science, clocking in at 100,000 molecules of hydrogen gas every second.
 
http://www.sciencemag.org/content/333/6044/863
Abstract
 
Reduction of acids to molecular hydrogen as a means of storing energy is 
catalyzed by platinum, but its low abundance and high cost are problematic. 
Precisely controlled delivery of protons is critical in hydrogenase enzymes in 
nature that catalyze hydrogen (H2) production using earth-abundant metals (iron 
and nickel). Here, we report that a synthetic nickel complex, 
[Ni(PPh2NPh)2](BF4)2, (PPh2NPh = 
1,3,6-triphenyl-1-aza-3,6-diphosphacycloheptane), catalyzes the production of 
H2 using protonated dimethylformamide as the proton source, with turnover 
frequencies of 33,000 per second (s−1) in dry acetonitrile and 106,000 s−1 in 
the presence of 1.2 M of water, at a potential of –1.13 volt (versus the 
ferrocenium/ferrocene couple). The mechanistic implications of these remarkably 
fast catalysts point to a key role of pendant amines that function as proton 
relays.

[Vo]: Polarizable quantum vacuum could explain illusion of dark matter

2011-08-11 Thread Mark Iverson
Just an FYI:
 
CERN physicist Dragan Slavkov Hajdukovic has proposed that the illusion of dark 
matter may be caused
by the gravitational polarization of the quantum vacuum.
 
We can consider our universe as a union of two mutually interacting entities, 
Hajdukovic said.
The first entity is our 'normal' matter (hence we do not assume the existence 
of dark matter and
dark energy), immersed in the second entity, the quantum vacuum, considered as 
a sea of different
kinds of virtual dipoles, including gravitational dipoles.
 
He goes on to explain that the virtual gravitational dipoles in the quantum 
vacuum can be
gravitationally polarized by the baryonic matter in nearby massive stars and 
galaxies. When the
virtual dipoles align, they produce an additional gravitational field that can 
combine with the
gravitational field produced by stars and galaxies. As such, the 
gravitationally polarized quantum
vacuum could produce the same speeding up effect on the rotational curves of 
galaxies as either
hypothetical dark matter or a modified law of gravity.
 
Abstract 
Assuming that a particle and its antiparticle have the gravitational charge of 
the opposite sign,
the physical vacuum may be considered as a fluid of virtual gravitational 
dipoles. Following this
hypothesis, we present the first indications that dark matter may not exist and 
that the phenomena
for which it was invoked might be explained by the gravitational polarization 
of the quantum vacuum

See the Widom Larsen theory, which Krivit champions. For example:

What piqued my interest was reading the phrase ...a weak interaction
involving neutrons, without fusion. Sure sounds like Widom-Larsen speak to
me.

My my my! What's going on under the bed sheets here?

The thing is Widom Larsen theory (which I do not think is valid) does produce 
nuclear fusion.

When a proton and electron pretending to be a neutron enter an atom's nucleus 
releasing energy and causing transmutations, it is FUSION!!!

The Widom Larsen folks are absolutely out of their minds trying to claim the 
theory does not produce fusion.

Krivit and other worshippers of Widom Larsen theory do not make any sense. The 
reaction is not a weak interaction, but a fusion reaction. The neutrons are 
supposed to be protons and electrons that become virtual neutrons.

Basically, Widom Larsen worshippers want people to believe if a proton and 
electron put on a mask, they are no longer a proton and neutron.

Inspired by Krivit's nonsense.

Krivit has been out to try and discredit Rossi for a long time. He truly is a 
snake.
