Jean-Louis Naudin's stirling engine running on a glow discharge, tungsten welding rods in potassium Carbonate_** _** , looks good. It's 2003 work but the web site is relativily new. Except for the web page glitchs Steven noted is there any problem with naudin's work. The demonstration is

I've sent this to a themo-electric generator supplier in the USA. I am looking for a water to water themoelectric generator capable of running good efficency at the temperature ranges of 90 C to 150 C; the hot side 90 to 150 C, cold side = just above tap water. We have a small heat

I know the demo is dodgy; most of the heats going up not down! and yes I could do that with a cup of coffee. We need to build a real heat engine demo unit. I know its not a good demo of the basic glow discharge work but could we make that Stirling run on something? A real CF cell. It's the

Steven You've missed a vital point of Hal 's work he argues that the energy emited is ZPE and that an orbiting electron is both a sorce and sink for ZPE. Its got more complex since then. See: http://www.calphysics.org/research.html and http://www.calphysics.org/zpe.html On Monday 25 July

Defusing the hot fusion critics.

2005-07-30 Thread Wesley Bruce
One way to defuse the hot fusion critics is to point out how close they are to having a workable plasma rocket. Their skills in plasma engineering could be so usefully if they stopped banging their head against the wall of stable fusion breakeven and simply uses cold fusion powered plasma

What's the key to recycling? The energy and transport costs involved. Distributed resources have a large transport energy cost. If CF reduces energy costs in transport by 60%, as Jed says it should, a lot of recycling will become viable. RC Macaulay wrote: Ed Storms wrote in the are things

Mike your perfectly correct but there's a push in industry to design easily recyclable things from computers to fridges to cars. The key is to not mix things up so they can be pulled apart by a single person with some hand tools or a robot built for the job. There's an amazing amount of RD
