There may be endothermic reactions that absorb heat instead of producing it. This is an important clue to understanding the reaction mechanism. In many experiments until now [1997], samples that did not produce heat were put aside and not analyzed. I believe important data may well have been overlooked when these samples were ignored.

Re: [Vo]:excess power as either anomolous heating or cooling
Cooling is not against the second law. There exist "endothermic" chemical reactions how makes cooling. There also are endothermic nuclear reactions. This includes 7Li+n→ 4He+3T +n -2.466 MeV, observe the negative sign (-). And fission of light elements and fusion of heavy elements.

Re: [Vo]:excess power as either anomolous heating or cooling
I would say with 99.98 % confidence that anomalous cooling hints to the calibration error of instruments. There should not be any doubts for that. Cooling and going against the second law of thermodynamics, however is not that particularly surprising. Entropy decreased at large scale when the universe was just three seconds old. The primordial nucleosynthesis compressed huge amount of energy into protons and alpha particles. This caused entropy to decrease in isolated system. Also in supernovae explosions, entropy decreases when energy is trapped into atoms heavier than Ni-62. Hydrino formation goes also against the second law of thermodynamics and it causes thus the cooling of isolated system, because hydrinos are stable. However as I know that Mills' theory is wrong at fundamental level, this does not do as an explanation. However, hydrinos are interesting thought experiments, because it is trivial to envision logical conditions where the classical second law of thermodynamics will fail in isolated system. Is this then yet another failure for cold fusion, or is it still too early to tell? —Jouni On Jan 28, 2013, at 12:35 AM, Harry Veeder wrote: > The MFMP results are not looking very good at the moment as excess > heat appears to be marginal or non-existent.

[Vo]:excess power as either anomolous heating or cooling
The MFMP results are not looking very good at the moment as excess heat appears to be marginal or non-existent. However, the data now suggest the possibility of some slight anomalous cooling effect. I don't know if this cooling is real or the result some minor calibration error, but it raises the question of how we estimate excess power. Although we tend to associate excess power with anomalous heating, it seems to me that a system can exhibit excess power (or over unity) through either persistent anomalous cooling or persistent anomalous heating . But what if the system oscillates between periods of anomalous cooling and anomalous heating? Simply taking a time average would make the excess power appear to be much less or even non-existent. harry

RE: [Vo]:100% conversion of heat to electricity with thermophotovoltaics
David, You are possibly misreading this article. It is poorly written to begin with. Carnot efficiency affects all heat engines in a similar way. Moreover, it is a basic limitation which deducts “off the top” so all other inefficiencies deduct from the lower number. From: David Jonsson Hi I have imagined using thermophotovoltaics to produce a highly efficient conversion from heat to electricity. Imagine having a heat source in a very thermally well insulated container. In the same container there is a thermophotovoltaic cell converting the heat radiation into electricity. Wouldn't a cell like that be very efficient? What stops it from being 100 % efficient, or having its efficiency reduced only by leaks in the thermal insulation? Even if the Carnot efficiency http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermophotovoltaic#Efficiency is low it doesn't affect the total efficiency. The emitter will always be hotter than the converter, since the converter converts some of the heat radiation. There will always be some efficiency. Increase of dark current, as Wikipedia mentions as a reason for efficiency decrease at higher temperature, should be the same in both directions in the converter and could not lower efficiency. Either efficiency could be higher or the explanations of the efficiency lowering effects are wrong. Best would be to build a device and see what will happen. David

Re: [Vo]:Another article about the impact of automation on employment
Hi Frank, Thanks for a copy of your book. I'm part way through and find it very interesting. As to your question, a financial collapse always affects different people different ways depending where they live and their personal financial situation. Generally, a skilled person who uses common sense will do much better than other people. So, giving personal advice is hard. I can only suggest guide lines that I attempt to follow. The process will have two stages, an acute stage during which basic services may be affected in a few areas and a chronic stage during which the suffering will spread to almost everyone. The acute stage was avoided last time in 2008 while the chronic stage continues. The acute state was avoid by pumping a huge amount of money into the system by the Federal Reserve. This process continues and will fuel the next collapse. The government is trying to lessen the effects of the chronic phase but the Republicans are resisting this effort in favor of protecting the wealthy who are not affected by the process. So, the rest of us are on our own. So, what should an individual do? First, pay off all debt and take on no more. Buy gold and silver (I favor high quality coins) as a hedge against inflation and have cash in your home in case your bank has to close for awhile. Save every cent you can and buy nothing that is not essential. Learn how to invest your own savings in an IRA or personal account using internet trading. This tool is an amazing gift of the modern age that can allow a person of knowledge to avoid the worst of the collapse. In any case, sell any bond funds you have. If you can, move to a place where you can count on protection and access to basic services. And finally, do not worry - no event is as bad as it can be imagined. Sorry if this is too personal and off topic. Hopefully this advice is of interest to other people. Ed On Jan 27, 2013, at 8:52 AM, fznidar...@aol.com wrote: Ed, Where can we hide?

Re: [Vo]:Another article about the impact of automation on employment
Like all subjects, some people understand and are generally basically right and there are people who do not have a clue and are basically wrong even though they have positions of power and fame. It really does matter whom you believe since we as individuals cannot master everything. To understand what is happening I suggest you read Empire of Debt and Currency Wars. Much of what goes on in the financial word is invisible to most people until the crash comes and they have lost everything, as millions have done during the latest collapse. The next shoe is about to drop and it will be much worse according to the same people who predicted the last collapse. Do not believe anything the government says or anything you hear from the spokesmen on TV. A disconnect exists between reality and what you are told by these people, just like exists with respect to cold fusion. We live essentially in two different realities these days. But then, that is my conclusion which you have no reason to believe either.

Re: [Vo]:Chemonuclear Transitions
Jones, I don't think your leap of faith is restricted to [snip]"reversible fusion" is slightly energetic [/snip] but rather that the cavity environment or NAE is the energetic source where any 2 body relationship established at one geometry can experience a discount toward disassociation when accomplished at a different geometry. It establishes a linkage between the moving 2 bodies and the sharply serrated fields established by changes in Casimir geometry. The geometry only has to accelerate or decelerate one body relative to the other in an unbalanced manner to accomplish a discount. At the most active geometry Casimir force trumps our square law isotropy and whenever that geometry changes you get breaks or serrations in the isotropy as the rules that limit these changes in value [square law vs Casimir formula] come in conflict with each other. Naudt's paper on relativistic hydrogen would hold that these bodies are unaware of their condition and their underlying motive force is therefore still provided for by normal gas laws such that no external energy has to be provided to load or transport said bodies into lattice or between geometries. My posit is that these changes in inertial frames are accomplished freely, easily and much more rapidly via Casimir suppression than the relativistic effects we are more accustomed to which require velocities in a Pythagorean relationship with C or a very deep gravity Well. Fran From: Eric Walker * why would any form of energy arbitration, in which a magnetic field is used to drain off a little bit of the mass of a proton, not also apply to neutrons and electrons? The leap of faith is that "reversible fusion" is slightly energetic. There could be reversible fusion with other nuclei but I doubt it, and am not aware of this type of reaction relating to anything other than P+P.
Re: [Vo]:Another article about the impact of automation on employment
That is a general point about how governments manage transition. They want to protect jobs, and existing industries, not to help things to change to a better point. as i repeat often it is well explained in "the Next convergence" as the big problems with governments. Laisser-faire and saving jobs are opposite version of the same bad decision. the good one is to help the transition by investing in asset that are too longterm for the private sector, and to help workforec to survive during the (short) unemployment period, then train them so they can move (quickly) to the new industry/economy... it is very hard where the politic system is a demagogy. for the army, remoiving the huge waste would allow much more effcient army and strongest action... In france when you want to remove on barack campus, all the local authorities panic because ther is (still) nothing to replace... not so different from what happens when you shutdown a big industry in a place where it it have no more reason to exist... we shoul help people to move, instead of preventing them to move. in france the problems are well identified (real-estate, taxes, work laws) and not at all corrected, to protect incumbent, mouse in the cheese, and other economic rent. for US army, note that big par of Army budget is in fact subsidies hidden from WTO. Free market in US is a myth. 2013/1/26 Edmund Storms > Yes, Mark, this would be the best place to start. But jobs will be lost, > the only issue is which jobs.

Re: [Vo]:The hydrogen s-orbital and the problem of muonic hydrogen
Does anyone know how (or if) in theory the proton's radius would effect rates of fusion? Would the proton have to be larger or smaller to increase rates of fusion? A smaller charge radius means less coulomb repulsion. When enough electrons shield enough positive charge from the proton, two protons will bind together in a pair; coulomb repulsion is neutralized. This is the basis for the Shukla,-Eliasson effect. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&frm=1&source=web&cd=6&sqi=2&ved=0CD8QFjAF&url=http%3A%2F%2Farxiv.org%2Fpdf%2F1209.0914&ei=OSBQUO6SJKnF0AH5uoG4CA&usg=AFQjCNHGAqMvSJxjgufVpRf7kYFcJtBBIw&sig2=8fhHq-SEQvQCAJKvWP4j2A What shields the charge of the proton is unclear. It can’t be the charge, because the electron can approach very close to the proton without coulomb repulsion cancelation. But the muon shields the protons charge more than the electron. Could it be that the mass of the negative particle(s) must be increased to have increased shielding effects? It could be. Heavy (more energetic) electrons provide more shielding effects than do lighter (less energetic) ones at ground state. The trick to LENR might be not to ionize it into plasma but to pack as many electrons into hydrogen as possible. Rossi's reactor has high numbers of electrons packed inside; so many that they can be removed as a high powered current. DGT uses a spark to pack heavy electrons into their reactor. These extra electrons will be energetic and heavy because of the Pauli Exclusion Principle where no two identical fermions (particles with half-integer spin) may occupy the same quantum state simultaneously. The only place that these extra electrons can go is up in energy. These heavy electrons will have a high frequency. A heavy electron(s) may approach the mass of a muon. It might be the mass that is the key to this conundrum.
