[Vo]:Re: Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project

Hello Robin To store heat economically they can not use water heated by the PV cells, bcs these cells have to be as cool as possible to work efficiently. By concentrating the rest of the direct sunlight on a thermal absorber it is possible to get much higher temperatures to store heat

Jed, There is a Swedish say; "Venture capital is not for widows and orphans." (Perhaps a little off the political correct scale but has some relevance . . .) If the government gets involved then they actually do involve people who for one reason or the other should not take that kind of risk. As,

RE: [Vo]:Speculation on how the E-Cat X works.

Axil, You seem to be misguided about the possibility of alumina as a thermionic emitter of electrons. Alumina would not work as a glow tube cathode since it is a poor conductor of electrons. Alumina has been used as a component for a ultra-thin oxide coating of metal cathodes, but its

[Vo]:Speculation on how the E-Cat X works.

Speculation on how the E-Cat X works. The E-Cat-X might works as a Hot cathode. Photons produce hot electrons on the surface of the alumina that are emitted from the surface. If a anode is placed on the outside of the cathode to capture the emitted electrons, then this will setup a current flow

Re: [Vo]:Speculation on how the E-Cat X works.

Alumina pulls in electrons rather than pushing them out, Is that correct? On Thu, Dec 31, 2015 at 1:54 PM, Jones Beene wrote: > Axil, > > > > You seem to be misguided about the possibility of alumina as a thermionic > emitter of electrons. > > > > Alumina would not work as

Jed, I am not bragging but I actually have studied some history. That, however, is not important. I have experience from real life and that counts. You say I have no data to back up my statements! Did you read about the Swedish pension funds I wrote about? However, that is no so important

From: Axil Axil * Alumina pulls in electrons rather than pushing them out, Is that correct? Technically alumina is a good electrical insulator, as seen in the white ceramic part of a spark plug. Beta-alumina however is different, and can be produced in such a way as to conduct only

[Vo]:An update on my on-going Kepler research efforts

After having been kicked out of Dr. Mills Yahoo Classical Physics group earlier this year I came to the realization that I should probably spend more time focusing on my own personal research work rather than wasting endless hours indulging in circuitous conjecture that never gets resolved.

Re: [Vo]:Re: Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project

Note: The ASME document may not describe the coating used at Ivanpah. However, I read an article about the glass there some time ago that said it has some similar coating. It resembles Teflon. Water and dust do not easily adhere to it; they blow right off again. I wish they would invent something

Re: [Vo]:Re: Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project

Interesting that Ivanpah is a high wind area with land sailing. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivanpah_Lake Flat mirrors catch a lot more wind than a low profile trough, like a sail. I guess without the mirror coating the system would be be performing even worse than 40% below design...

Re: [Vo]:Speculation on how the E-Cat X works.

The core is producing the electric power and is acting as the negative cathode and the alumina the anode. Perhaps with a grid between for flow control. A grid between might control the electric vs, heat output. On Thu, Dec 31, 2015 at 3:57 PM, Jones Beene wrote: > *From:*
