I think that this is implausible, because American's did get the same result 
earlier in 2007, although it was not significant. Therefore same problem with 
connectors had to be also in that  experiment. But indeed it is possible, that 
the same problem was overlooked in both experiments,  but still I would wait 
more observations for confirmation. 

Especially Horace's suggestion for neutrino beam through the core of Earth 
should be performed.

However, indeed this kind of unexpected problem is the most plausible 
explanation. It went somewhat hilarious when some scientists tried to prove 
this result using special theory of relativity. This tells something about how 
weak is the general understanding of special relativity, even for professional 
scientists.

All electrical devices depend on the motion of electrons.  These motions are 
fully described by Newton's and Maxwell's formulations.   No over-unity is 
possible.  Cold fusion, on the other hand, depends on the motion
of free nucleons.  Now we are dealing with the motion of the strong nuclear 
field.  Its a new ball game, not well described by anyone, and free energy may 
be possible.


What I did was apply Maxwells equations to moving carriers of the strong 
nuclear force and showed, at least in my mind,
free energy was possible.  What happens is a strong long range nuclear magnetic 
force is induced.

 * There is the initial report showing the system ran 4000 watts for
 100 hours that showed a well-thought out overunity test. It was a 3rd
 party test, paid for by the company. The report remains confidential,
 but it was impressive enough to get Sterling Allan on a plane.
/snip/
 
We just don't have enough to go on yet.  Sterling's FFG review is that the 
observed power output is supposedly well in excess of the total energy 
available at the input.  Meaning, if the power is actually being consumed at 
the published rates, the demonstration would be over in less than 1/6 of the 
time shown. 


What I witnessed, along with three other scientists that I brought along -- all 
more qualified than myself -- was a 5 kW unit powered by four batteries, 
running for three hours continuous, driving a load of approximately 4 KW. 
According to the amp-hour rating of those batteries (102 Ah each), without 
being recharged from an external source, they should have lasted only 35 
minutes before running down completely, no longer able to power the system. 
The load was roughly 4 kW, comprised of:
 
- a two-burner stove, each burner consuming 1 kW (rated power according to 
manufacturer)
- a toaster that consumed 850 Watts (rated power)
- a pancake maker that consumes 1 kW (rated power)
- A 40-Watt fan (rated power) 
http://pesn.com/2012/02/22/9602042_South_African_Fuel-Free_Generator_Preparing_for_Market/

 
In Sterling's article, these are all based upon published ratings, and not 
actual, continual measure.  A great deal of assumptions could be false. Lets 
look just at the burners, for example:

- two-burner stove, each burner consuming 1 kW (rated power according to 
manufacturer)


Does this mean that the metal was built to withstand 1 kW, or consume 1kW 
during peak usage?  If it is 1kW when turned all the way up, was it actually 
turned all the way up, or was any additional resistance in-line?

Assuming the burners were each meant to consume 1kW, were they wired in series 
or parallel? It's counterintuitive, but in series, you would have doubled the 
curcuit resistance, halved the current, halved the voltage drop across each, 
and actually dropped circuit power consumption in half.

In short, we do not even remotely have the necessary information to determine 
if the FFG is a simple trick, or something more.
 
Like so much else, it's purely wait-and-see at this point.  
  

RE: [Vo]:Why do florescent lights make the radio buzz?

2012-02-23 Thread Robert Leguillon

Just a guess, 
 
There is a general arcing characteristic of Fluorescent ballasts.  The wide 
frequency range emissions created by these arcs act much like lightning to an 
AM radio signal.  As the spectrum is wide enough, but varying amplitude, any 
amplitude modulated signal would be likely effected, but a frequency modulated 
signal would be relatively immune.  As radios are massively amplifying 
extremely low-level signals (often micro-volts/meter), it doesn't take much 
interference to make a big difference.
Note, an FM radio is still sending alternating current to its speakers, in 
essence, amplitude-modulated intelligence with wide frequency variance.  Any 
powered speaker (that is amplifying its input: e.g., a poorly-shielded 
line-level input) could expect interference as well.

 Do you also disagree on how I describe the demonstration
 setup as being ridiculous, and not worth of drawing any
 positive conclusions from in the way Stirling Allen does?

Andre,

As I have previous stated, I am not an electrical engineer. As such it
is not my place to pass judgment on your current technical analysis of
the South African contraption. However, I noticed that a lot of your
analysis is heavily layered with subjective conclusions that, quite
frankly, have little to do with your technical analysis, such as your
conclusion of Sterling's inability to discern when he is being used,
in your words, as a prostitute.

You strike me as being more interested in defending your original
conclusions which regrettably includes a strong belief in that
Sterling is not terribly bright. Well, maybe Sterling isn't the
brightest bulb on the planet, but then maybe he has a few more watts
than some of us might think. Frankly, I dunno. Be that as it may, in
this particular situation I'm not interested in conclusions pertaining
to speculation of the so-called personality faults of Sterling. I see
enough of that kind of folly with Mr. Krivit and his attempt to
analyze Rossi's quirky behavior.

I will repeat once again: My primary concern is that we don't throw
the baby out with the bathwater. I wait for more definitive tests to
be performed, such as when Sterling presumably gets one of the
contraptions in house where definitive testing can then be performed.
You may recall that I have also previously stated that I have serious
doubts as to whether any so called OU will be discovered. However, my
current pessimism could turn out to be completely misplaced. It would
be unwise of me to allow my pessimism to overrule what Nature may
actually be trying to tell us. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to
interest you, and that puzzles me. It's as if to show any more
curiosity that what you have currently allowed yourself to indulge in
could possibly contradict your current conclusion which seems to be
based on a belief in Sterling is an idiot.

 Unless I have been missing a lot, this whole magnet motor
 thing does not have the scientific support or endorsements
 that LENR has, so I find it to be in a completely different
 league.

I think you may have indeed missed a few things that go on in this
list. Granted, LENR makes up a large part of what is discussed here,
but LENR is not by any means the only topic of interest. The kind of
magnetic related research that Sterling refers to has often been
discussed extensively here.

BTW, you continue to refer to this particular device as a magnet
motor. That is an incorrect description. It also suggests to me that
you haven't been following this particular topic extensively. I can
certainly forgive you on that matter because there are many topics on
this list that also I do not follow in great detail. I have only so
many hours in a day.

[Vo]:From a Casimir Newbie: Casimir Force vs. Newtonian Gravity

2012-02-23 Thread Robert Leguillon

I've never delved into Casimir Force, but I have to say, it's really intriguing.
As I understand the basic evidence of Casimir Force: experiments seem to verify 
that metal plates at extremely close distances in a vacuum preclude longer 
wavelengths of the aether-equivalent, creating a higher pressure outside the 
plates than between.
 
I just have a few questions, and the Vortexians seem an excellent crew to ask:
 
1) Does the measured Casimir Force match with those predicted by the underlying 
theory with precision? Have any specific materials (esp. 
conductors/nonconductors) been discovered to be Casimir-outliers?
 
2) Does the force exercised upon the plates necessarily have to be an aether 
repulsion, in lieu of a plate attraction?  

It is known that precision-milled metals can bond together when brought into 
proximity in a vacuum.  I'd always attributed this to broken crystalline 
structures being essentially unbalanced, and desiring chain completion, much 
like molecular bonds. For reference on the metal bonding, see cold welding as a 
quick reference:(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_welding) 
I ask, because it seems that, experimentally, in order to get the plates close 
enough without touching, the milling precision would be identical to, possibly 
far surpass, the level at which one would demonstrate cold welding. 
 
3) With the presence of Casimir Force, how does one measure the effects of 
Newtonian Gravity at nano-scales?  

In consulting Occam, I would first ask the question as to whether this is just 
another incarnation or variance of gravity (another completely invisible force, 
with which we cannot contribute any of its characteristics to a detectable 
particle, but can only verify its existance through inferrence of evidence, and 
conformance to mathematical models)
The immediate thought would be to alternate the same experiments with plates of 
different mass, but that gets rendered moot by practicality, as at those 
distances, the mass at the back of the plates is rendered virtually 
meaningless.  Really, only the faces of each plate feel the largest attraction 
with rapid, exponential dropoff within nanometer(s)

I am under the impression that the antigravity concept has been discussed in

Assume that a mass of material is shielded by an antigravity system of some 
type.  The same mass requires a certain amount of energy to raise it upward a 
meter without the system.  My suspicion is that at least this amount of energy 
must be expended by the antigravity device if the same final mass displacement 
is achieved.  The conservation of energy would require this to happen in my

Except for the fan, these are all resistive loads, and hard to fool. Note in 
the report that for the larger units they had an industrial resistor bank at 
hand as a load.

AND http://www.mail-archive.com/vortex-l@eskimo.com/msg63222.html

… but as we have mentioned here on vortex many times, if this battery
shuttling technique, using back EMF, does work – and there is no firm proof
that it does but lots of positive anecdotal evidence, then the reason it
works is probably related to some from of LENR in the battery itself !

IOW - the battery, which is an electrochemical cell, not unlike the ones
used in PF and most of LENR, is the active source of power. 

Lead-acid batteries seem to be particularly adaptable to the technique. NB:
the sum of the first three electrons in the valence shell of the atom of Pb,
has net ionization potential of 54.4 eV, which is the prime Rydberg value
for the T-effect (Thermacore effect) which is seen in experiments going back
to 1990, first patented by Thermacore.

Jones
- - - - - - - - - - 

Lets presume for the moment that the output is real. 

The effect occurs only in lead-acid batteries, during the discharge phase, at a 
time when the negative plate is mostly lead.

(During this phase the other battery is recharged -- their roles are switched 
periodically)

Discharge http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead%E2%80%93acid_battery#Discharge

Negative plate reaction: Pb(s) + HSO− 4(aq) → PbSO4(s) + H+(aq) + 2e−
Positive plate reaction: PbO2(s) + HSO− 4(aq) + 3H+(aq) + 2e− → PbSO4(s) + 
2H2O(l)

So hydrogen is intimately involved with both plates. This may be analogous to 
the classical LENR loading requirement.

Secondly, a high-frequency FUTZ is applied to the discharging battery. Again, 
note the similarity to the various triggers required for LENR -- particularly 
voltage pulses.

So at least TWO of the required LENR conditions are satisfied.

So ... what are the candidate metals?

a) Lead --  but I can't find any reports of Lead in LENR (except in the solder 
on the terminals).

But if we look at : Plates 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead%E2%80%93acid_battery#Plates
Practical cells are usually not made with pure lead but have small amounts of 
antimony, tin, calcium or selenium alloyed in the plate material to add 
strength and simplify manufacture. 

b) Tin -- NOW we start to get some hits:

Thanks Dave and Bob.  Nothing over unity about sharply breaking a circuit.  I 
did some tests with a radio and some bulbs.  I found more RF emission during

Over unity in other systems has been associated with an element of shock.  
Perhaps a florescent tube is something that we should work with.

Hi Frank,
 
I suspect that the 60 hertz radio buzz is caused by the breaking of the 
instantaneous current through the vapor at phase reversals.  This sharp 
waveform would be loaded with high frequency energy.  I know for sure that HID 
bulbs have to be reignited on each current cycle reversal when regulated by a 
magnetic ballast.

Why do florescent lights make the radio buzz?  Older starters and bulbs emitted 
a lot of RF energy at about 1 mega-hertz.  This signal is modulated at 60 HZ. 




I am interested  because:  These bulbs contain a heavy slow moving gas mercury 
and a light fast moving gas helium or other internet.  The interaction between 
the fast and 
the slow nucleons resembles that between the dissolved deuterium/hydrogen and 
the metal lattice within cold fusion experiments.  The low pressure in the 
bulbs extends the mean free 
path of the gas a bit.  The product of the frequency and bulb length is one 
megahertz-meter.




Any ideas about the buzzing, where it comes from, and how to enhance it???  
Mike Carrol where are you, you would know??

  It's a matter of 
powerfully energizing electromagnetic-force to compensate an equally powerful 
centrifugal or centripedal force, that will result in a whole new form of 
energy-field.  I doing so, will essentially enable a whole complete variety of 
functions to be performed, without any physical contact... it's simply a matter 
of a million years or so, of some serious in-depth RD. 

 Radio transmissions might be an ancient form of communications to an 
advanced civilization.  It could be like us talking to each other with smoke

Re: [Vo]:From a Casimir Newbie: Casimir Force vs. Newtonian Gravity

Hi,
[snip]

I've never delved into Casimir Force, but I have to say, it's really 
intriguing.
As I understand the basic evidence of Casimir Force: experiments seem to 
verify that metal plates at extremely close distances in a vacuum preclude 
longer wavelengths of the aether-equivalent, creating a higher pressure 
outside the plates than between.
 
I just have a few questions, and the Vortexians seem an excellent crew to ask:
 
1) Does the measured Casimir Force match with those predicted by the 
underlying theory with precision? Have any specific materials (esp. 
conductors/nonconductors) been discovered to be Casimir-outliers?

Last I read, it matches to within about 5%. Not sure what the experimental error
was, but these measurements are rather difficult.
 
2) Does the force exercised upon the plates necessarily have to be an aether 
repulsion, in lieu of a plate attraction?  

How can one tell the difference?


It is known that precision-milled metals can bond together when brought into 
proximity in a vacuum.  I'd always attributed this to broken crystalline 
structures being essentially unbalanced, and desiring chain completion, much 
like molecular bonds. For reference on the metal bonding, see cold welding as 
a quick reference:(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_welding) 
I ask, because it seems that, experimentally, in order to get the plates close 
enough without touching, the milling precision would be identical to, possibly 
far surpass, the level at which one would demonstrate cold welding. 


How do you know that cold welding isn't due to Casimir force?

 
3) With the presence of Casimir Force, how does one measure the effects of 
Newtonian Gravity at nano-scales?  

If you are talking about Newtonian gravity between the two plates, then this
goes as the square of the distance *between centers of mass*, whereas the
Casimir force goes as the 4th power of the distance between the plates.
Furthermore, the Casimir force should be independent of the mass of the plates.


In consulting Occam, I would first ask the question as to whether this is just 
another incarnation or variance of gravity (another completely invisible 
force, with which we cannot contribute any of its characteristics to a 
detectable particle, but can only verify its existance through inferrence of 
evidence, and conformance to mathematical models)
The immediate thought would be to alternate the same experiments with plates 
of different mass, but that gets rendered moot by practicality, as at those 
distances, the mass at the back of the plates is rendered virtually 
meaningless.  Really, only the faces of each plate feel the largest attraction 
with rapid, exponential dropoff within nanometer(s)

We have measured the tunneling characteristics of quench-condensed films of 
pure Pb, hydrogen-doped Pb, and deuterium- doped Pb. We have determined phonon 
spectra to fit the electronic densities of states calculated from our data. The 
phonon spectra for Pb/H and Pb/D exhibit additional phonon peaks which we 
associate with a localized mode (or modes) of the impurity. The magnitudes of 
the peaks indicate that this mode is strongly coupled to the electronic system.

The permeation process of hydrogen isotopes through Li0.17Pb0.83 has been

take into consideration of the effects of the H-D isotopic exchange reaction on 
the surface and diffusion in the Li-Pb layer. It was proved that the

 Summary : could be an LENR effect -- Lead+H or Tin+H -- Tin HAS been a 
 component of some positive experiments.

Yes, Alan it does looks like a LENR effect, and a significant anomaly but not 
novel as they admit the Bedini influence - and sadly it is one that does not 
have positive economic value. 

They admit that the limit of usefulness for the system is now a few weeks. 
Let's say they can get that up to 1000 hours before battery failure (and do it 
before shipping prototypes next month, which is doubtful). Well, on the one 
hand it indicates an impressive energy anomaly, pointing towards LENR - but 
then again, they have consumed about $ 500 worth of batteries to produce about 
$400 worth of electricity. 

They need to team up with a University first - to document the gain and then 
get a top flight engineering firm involved to see if the lifetime of batteries 
can be increased by a large factor. Otherwise - like the Bedini battery 
swapping technique which they have copied - this is going nowhere commercially.

Considering the never-ending conundrum of whether we are alone I came up
with the following 500 word short story. I submitted it to a local science
fiction community for a writing contest. While the story didn't win any
prizes it was one of the finalists.

I suspect Stephen Hawking might find aspects amusing... or not. ;-)

Enjoy!

__

THE SOURCE

Were we alone? Surely that wasn't the case. But no one had ever answered our
calls. When we finally mastered interstellar space travel we felt it was
time to find out if that was truly the case.

We soon discovered life existed outside the nurturing confines of our home
system. Not only that, life was sprinkled everywhere, generously so. Then
came the surprise. DNA, appeared to be the only blueprint used to build life
throughout the universe. Even more astonishing was the fact that DNA samples
taken from all our travels revealed that life seemed to have originated from
a singular genetic source, origins unknown, including our own. Externally,
life everywhere looked different, but underneath tissue, hide, hair, scales,
and feathers, we were all related. How could evolution throughout the galaxy
have spawned such incredible genetic uniformity? We obviously don't know how
evolution really works; that's how we consoled ourselves.

We eventually discovered advanced civilizations, some having even achieved
space travel. They could have visited us long ago had they chosen to travel
our way. Why hadn't they visited us? Clearly they must have been aware of
our presence, our radio broadcasts. We had to know.

We chose a candidate; a civilization we had repeatedly transmitted greetings
to in the past. We dispatched our finest emissary ship and entered their
solar system as non-threateningly as we could, all the while continuously
broadcasting our peaceful intentions. We settled our ship as delicately as
we could, close to a metropolis, next to what appeared to be a hastily
gathered assemblage of officials - witnesses to the historic event. The
ship's hatch opened. Dignitaries and ambassadors filed out one-by-one. Our
greeters shuffled nervously, all the while remaining quiet. Eventually we
broke the silence. We extended warm greetings, wishing them peace and
prosperity. Finally, we asked them Why haven't you answered our calls? We
wish you no harm.

Leave, immediately! was their answer. It was too late for us, they added.
They demanded we cease all further communication, especially anything that
could give away their position. And then they scurried back to the safety of
their city, leaving us standing alone.

We raced home, entering our system just in time to witness the armada
assembling. Like a swarm of hungry hornets, black needles kilometers in
length fired deadly energy beams that screamed through our home world's
atmosphere, slicing through continents and oceans as if cutting through soft
butter. The tiniest bacterium to the largest leviathans in our oceans,
everything was sucked into vast geostationary interstellar refineries parked
above. Molecular structures evolved over eons were unraveled, then
recombined into new matrices more suitable to the nutritional requirements
of an unknown consumer.

After the armada's storage facilities were filled they sterilized our
ravaged planet with bursts of deadly gamma radiation. The surface was then
reseeded with a single bacterium possessing a unique genetic strain, a
hauntingly familiar source. 

And then they left, content to let evolution once again grow to fruition.

We discovered we were alone.

I would expect that detecting the casimir force is a process of
elimination. The total force is measured first and then the predicted
contribution from the gravitational component is subtracted.
