Gravimagnetism has much to do with the precession of non-circular  
obits.  Gravimagnetism embodies the relativistic effects due to  
retardation.  It  does not account for red shift due to gravitational  
or acceleration time dilation.  Jefimenko noted that the entire rate  
of precession of Mercury's perihelion could be accounted for by  
merely reducing the speed of gravity to less than c.  Since the time  
he wrote his book, however, the speed of gravity has been measured at  
c.  (See: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/2639043.stm)
This implies Einstein's explanation of the remaining bit of  
precession is still necessary.


The reason gravimagnetism plays a strong role in orbit precession is  
that it is a 1/r^3 effect. The attraction and thus acceleration close  
up to the sun is greater than further out. The angular motion of  
mercury is increased a little bit when up close to the sun, and thus  
the precession of the orbit results.

The way I see it, our dependence on oil is the product of one of the most 
far flung social engineering projects ever undertaken. From dismantling 
trolley lines in the early 20th Century to ensuring auto efficiency standards do 
not put too much pressure on the demand side of oil, to providing 
$10Billions of federal monies each year to protect oil supplies 
overseasmilitarily,the federal government has engineered our 
dependence on oil and has put alternative energy technologies and transportation 
modes at a marketplace disadvantage.

If there was enough need for new refining 
facilities, they would get built. We are now building LNG facilities, we 
have continued to build power plants all over the place. New refiniers 
aren't being built because the industry either doesn't want them to put more 
supplies on the market and depress pricesor more likely they don't see a 
return on investment for a product that will price itself out of the market 
within a decade or two.

see:

www.reason.org/commentaries/moore_20050901.shtml

It may take 15 or 20 years to build a refinery, if you can get 
past the political pressure from environmentalists. Power 
plantscan be difficult and nuclear power
plants are simply impossible to 
site.

Barrons ran an article about this, quoting industry leaders 
complaining that they simply can't site refineries in the US- it's nearly 
impossible.

If you've been following the news, the Democrats 
suggested building refineries at shut down military bases BUT the idea was shot 
down almost
instantaneously by environmentalists. The 
politiciansjust gave up.

Is this board so full of satisfied opinions that no one 
even bothers to do a Google search on the facts? If these discussions 
typify the depth of thinking in
alternative energy, we're in bigger trouble than I 
thought.

That is incorrect. The best input/output ratio recorded for cold

In my opinion, the studies by Pimentel and Patzek are not garbage. 
They seem well documented and carefully researched. In any case, as I

numbers instead, it is still a losing proposition with present-day technology.

The academic studies take this into account of course. The problem 
with utilizing waste heat is that you cannot transport it. The raw 
materials for ethanol are very bulky and heavy and they are processed 
far from population and industry centers, where the waste heat is 
needed. You need waste heat for industry in places like New York City 
or Rome Georgia (where they manufacture carpets). I suppose you could 
bring the corn and all the way from Iowa to Georgia and then 
manufacture ethanol in a cogeneration plant where you use the waste 
heat for industrial heating. But I think any energy savings you 
accomplished by this method would be lost transporting the corn.


It is possible someone will make a breakthrough based on something 
like bioengineering which greatly reduces the energy needed to make 
ethanol. If that happens, obviously the numbers will change. However, 
such research should not be supported with hundreds of millions of 
dollars from the taxpayers. A small contribution from the government 
might be in order, but not hundreds of millions.
Agribusiness in the US has plenty of money, and they can afford to 
pay for this research. Between 1995 and 2004, federal corn subsidies 
averaged $4.6 billion per year. That's enough to pay for plenty of research.




  In addition, the feedstock could involve material that's largely
going to waste, right now - a far cry from corn based production.


Define going to waste. Biomass does not go to waste when you leave 
it in the ground. It is essential to the health of the land. If you 
keep extracting a year after year and burning it after a few hundred 
years the US will look like Iraq does today -- the whole country will 
go to waste! Present-day corn production is rapidly destroying the 
topsoil and the water table. It is not sustainable. Add to that the 
burden of producing switchgrass and other biomass and you have the 
makings of the largest ecological catastrophe in human history. It is 
beyond me why any environmentalist thinks this is a good idea. 
Extracting more biomass out of North American land is lunacy. We 
should be putting it back, letting forests regrow and leaving more 
fields fallow.



  At the very least, we need to see a cold fusion unit that can

If cold fusion can be made to work at all, it will not be cheap, it

Since action and reaction are coexistent it follows that the curvature of space is entirely impossible-however even if it existed it would not explain the motions of the bodies as observed.

This is true. Gravimagnetism is consistent with the above with regard  
to the retardation effects, and adds no changes to the retardation  
results calculated by conventional means.  It adds nothing to the  
final results.  Its primary value in this case is the fact it  
circumvents the incomprehensible math behind things like the Thirring- 
Lense effect and brings some important gravitational concepts down to  
a high school math level.  It makes some intuitive sense of the  
Thirring-Lense effect at a mundane level.


The Thirring-Lense effect is becoming more important to astronomy.   
For example, see:
http://www.physics.uiuc.edu/Research/CTA/news/sidebands/.  Simple  
mental models are vitally important to sorting out the nature of  
various gravitational effects, and to approaching a quantum theory of  
gravity.  They are also of important to basic engineering of gravity  
effects, and to distinguishing real from retardation relativistic  
effects.  The gravimagnetic model, with corrections for real effects,  
both in the EM and gK realms, may lead to alternate explanations for  
observed effects.


If I had the concepts roughly right and did the calculations  
correctly in

http://www.mtaonline.net/~hheffner/GraviCalcs.pdf
then the ambient gravimagnetic field overwhelms the Earth's local  
gravimagnetic field.  The ambient gravimagnetic field has little  
effect on orbital precession however, only on average orbital  
height.  The GRACE mission:

http://www.nasa.gov/vision/earth/lookingatearth/earth_drag.html
did actually see the effects of the Earth's gravimagnetic field on  
orbital precession, because it is an *incremental* effect due to  
incremental changes in distance from the Earth.  The Gravity Probe B  
satellite, however, is measuring the effect of the *absolute*  
gravimagnetic field by looking at precession of a small silicon ball,  
so gravimagnetism predicts a 50-100 fold difference in results.


If I did things right (still much in doubt!) then NASA is in for some  
surprising results!  We should hear in early 2007.  If that actually  
happens then the value of the concept will be permanently cast in  
cement.


There is a far more significant value to the concept, however, at  
least when it is developed and applied under the isomorphism proposed  
in:

http://mtaonline.net/~hheffner/GR-and-QM.pdf.
This isomorphism, in addition to immediately bringing to bear every  
EM equation on gravitational problems, points to underlying  
symmetries and opens up a large number of difficult questions and  
implications, some of which are discussed in the referenced document.  
It demonstrates the power of the imaginary number i in gravitational

Iactually saw a doctor withburns on my body andgenitals (balls)claiming that energy beam weapons caused the burns while I was living in a tent on Mount Ashland in Ashland Oregon,miles away from anyone,and they were identified as burns that I could not have created myself, and these are not chemical imbalances. Just like China has got Bush by the balls, so has someone got me by the balls using energy beams. I have a great deal more evidence than this but I wont go into it. 

I may have been misinformed by the contents of the emails thatI received but I have copies of them and they are real emails.  The Hitler idea started since I made a comment on an email list that posted an email about when Hitlermay have beensymbolically castrated by a secret society - the Skull and Bones Nutcracker initiation,and to make Hitler look good for going through some secret society ordeal, Icompared him symbolically to aGod likeChronos being castrated symbolically, which was contained in a quote whichmentioned that Zeus had to work with Poseidon to keep his empire. Then another person sent an email which said - I can see you on that planet now, which I assumed was associated with a reincarnation of Hitlerassociating himself with Poseidon or Chronos making the commentbut it may not have been. In this case, one would have to assume that another person who sent the email, was forced to send the email due to subliminal messages sent to his mind which were associated with me, in which case one could the argue that maybe a reincarnation of Hitler did not approve of that statement. But the email is real, andif the email was coerced by subliminal messages itwas generated not be me, but by an artificial intelligentcomputer system pretending to be me, and attempting to predict my thoughts before I think them and then forcing others including myself at times, to realize the computer's prediction of my thoughts in email posts by sending subliminal messages to them, which looks likes its me but it is not me, at least not all of 

Re: Using Waste Heat

2006-02-02 Thread John Coviello



Here is an Internet resource pagethat I created that creafocuses on 
Advanced Power Generation schemes, mainly using waste heat to run a secondary 
power generation loop, thus increasing electricaloutput and 
efficiency.

  Subject: Using Waste Heat
  
  There are a number of companies working on ways 
  to use waste heat from both power generation and industrial processes to 
  generate power. Some of these schemes propose to increase gas and coal 
  generating efficiencies above 50%, from current efficiencies around 35%. 
  These technologies run waste heat through a secondary generation loop using 
  lower boiling point liquids to drive trubines to generate electricity. 
  Ramping up this technology and using it with new ethanol plants would reduce 
  our need for new power plants of all kinds.
  
  
  
  


An Energy Business Idea

2006-02-02 Thread Horace Heffner
One of the problems with developing and selling wind and solar energy  
is the variability of these sources.  Typically, alternative energy  
companies are small and horizontally organized. Many solar and wind  
companies have failed, in part due to the inability to market power  
that is not dependably deliverable, and in part due to variability in  
government support.


The variability in delivery problem may in part be solved by use of  
improved energy storage and transportation means. See:


http://www.mtaonline.net/~hheffner/HotCold.pdf
http://www.mtaonline.net/~hheffner/BigPicture.pdf

However, much of the reliable delivery problem can be immediately  
solved simply through effective business strategy and business  
synergies.  The solution is a vertical integration approach.  By  
diversifying energy sources, the reliability of delivery is  
increased, and great technical synergy is possible. By owning energy  
transmission systems, the delivery strategy can be optimized with  
reduced exposure to external manipulative schemes.


Wind companies should, during build-up of capacity, also acquire or  
build conventional generating capacity for the purpose of smoothing  
energy deliveries.  Small methane fueled jet engine powered electric  
plants might be a viable way to build this capacity.  Energy delivery  
reliability can also be improved by buying or building alternative  
power sources, like solar, or biofuel generating plants.  Merger with  
existing power generating utilities may make sense, and should be  
facilitated and expedited by regulatory commissions when application  
is made.


Wind farms can readily be used to store energy in the form of  
liquified air.  This capacity, combined with heat storage plus waste  
heat from a nearby peak load generating facility, can dramatically  
increase the efficiency of that facility, as well as the energy  
storage capability of the overall plant.  There are many synergies  
that can exploit existing technology through vertical integration.


A large new source of reliable power, deliverable in the form  
electricity, can readily be absorbed.  Home heating can easily and  
cheaply be upgraded and augmented by electric heaters and utility  
managed network based control systems that optimize use of the  
generating, transmission and distribution systems.  Electric vehicle  
technology is close to being deliverable in a big way.


The remaining problem, variability in government support, can only be  
attacked by reaching the critical mass required to support adequate  
lobbying.


A solid business plan and big financing may be the key to quickly  
cracking the energy nut.  Alternatively, a mutually formed business  
consortium or even merger of alternative energy producers and  
manufacturers might be achieved to take advantage of the dramatic and  
obvious economies of scale and synergies available.  The profit  
potential dwarfs most alternatives.

Hi Horace,
Makes sense, won't work
Why? Because our nation has a fuel use addiction. It has taken 60 full 
years for society to become addicted. Fuel use excesses over this length of 
time  become so ingrained that culture is actually  modified. This habit 
began  forming at the end of WW2. Prior to WW2, only cities had electric 
power, few owned autos. We went to bed at dark.
No amount of reasoning can change the culture of  excessive use of energy. 
City lights remain on all night. Auto traffic does not cease all night. 
Attempting to reconcile this  fact with my childhood experience where we had 
no electricity or auto is impossible.
However , there is a solution to most addictions. Remove the addictive 
substance.The cold  turkey method  cannot be permitted,  so  the addiction 
will continue until it becomes prohibitively expensive due to shortages of 
supply or no more money is available to purchase. It appears society has 
chosen a combination of the two solutions. I deliberately left out the 
obvious solution, self discipline and imagineering for pending crisis 
because no society has ever been capable of acting in their own best 
interest. That leaves the individual to look out for himself which is 
exactly what is taking place.


The solution becomes like the joke about the different ways a switchman can 
prevent a railroad collision. When all remedies are exhausted, call your 
sister to come see the wreck.
