[Vo]:MIT designs small, modular, efficient fusion power plant

2015-08-13 Thread Mats Lewan
 Advances in magnet technology have enabled researchers at MIT to propose a
new design for a practical compact tokamak fusion reactor - and it's one
that might be realized in as little as a decade, they say. The era of
practical fusion power, which could offer a nearly inexhaustible energy
resource, may be coming near.

I would add also that currently central bank are desperately injecting
keyneisian money to stop depression, and deflation, but all it does is
inflating assets values, not prices.

this is benefiting finance and crony capitalism, not real economy which
suffer from bad investment decisions.

people asking for gold (I find it stupid) or electronic curencies where
central bank cannot manipulate the primary monetary mass do to prevent
cehtral bak to promoting crony practices like today.

my feeling is that it cannot work, because M3 money is not printed or even
mined.

someone explained how you can create money in a sane economy (and I
understood why there is no inflation despite tons of paper printed).

imagine that you are in a world with real great opportunities, like farming
rice with neolithic technology.

the idea is that as soon as you have money, even if the mass is small, you
pay someone to work, and this man have money, that he can consume, or
invest.
this gives money to people who can buy or consume...
if people have many thing to buy or to invest and always work to do that is
productive, the money wil circulate very quickly.

deflation in 1929 was because people stopped buying goods, buying work, to
look less indepbted.
hyperinflation in germany was on the opposite becaus epeopel lose trust in
deutchmark and immediatemy bought goods with money, to people who do the
same ASAP.

monetary mass is not the key factor... key is the speed, and the
opportunities or fears.

if there is opportunities to create value, money will flow, and be reused
hundred of time a month.
if people are depressed  they will keep it dying on an account. only hope
is the bank reusing it (where fractional banking is useful), but if people
invest them in dead value (bonds on dayly state expenses) it will not flow
anymore.
if people are terrorised on the opposite money will flow frantically like
false notes.

You are a good teacher Alain - well said.
My personal opinion is that we cannot give this kind of power to large
institutions. There will always be misuse and the cronies as you say will
always be the beneficiary as they can 'scratch' the back of the central
banks.
Unfortunately we do accept the status quo. With modern technology we could
have other means to regulate our barters. As you say the whole thing hangs
on the speed. The only reason to not use direct barter is that it takes
very long time to find business opportunities. Money supposedly solves that
problem. However, we have now let this instrument have its own life.
Manipulation is now the name of the game to achieve political, financial
and military goals (see surge in US dollars). Because the manipulation is
on a national basis, we have introduced another political/ military weapon.
Currency fluctuations - not because of different prices but because of
political reasons will of course screw up the barters (I say that because
it all should be about barter and that is it.)

RE: [Vo]:Re: Muons, SPP, DDL RPF

2015-08-13 Thread Jones Beene
To paraphrase what Bob has said and cited, there is little possibility of a 
spin problem, when it is proposed that the SPP can extend the lifetime of muons 
(as opposed to creating them from nothing).

I think that we all agree that “extending the lifetime” of a catalytic particle 
like the muon, where there is already a flux coming from the natural source – 
is functionally identical to “making” them anew. In either case, a higher 
population accumulates. Since any interaction with protons would happen within 
the geometry of the strong force, it is subject to QCD, and consequently 
giga-eV are in play, so the source of energy is no mystery. Proton mass is not 
quantized.

In the end, until Holmlid’s experiment is better explained as something other 
than detection of muons in a situation where SPP are acting on dense hydrogen, 
he should be given benefit of the doubt. No?

This would mean that a valid, if not intuitive, explanation for the thermal 
anomaly in the glow-type reactor (incandescent reactor) involves muons 
interacting catalytically with protons, where the muons appear to be either 
created from the reaction, or else do not decay as normal, following the 
reaction. This scenario will include a thermal anomaly which does not involved 
gamma radiation.

This M.O. leaves open three possibilities for explaining the thermal anomaly – 
one which is covered by Storms. He suggests that protons fuse to deuterium, 
despite the spin problem, and lack of evidence in the ash. Another possibility 
is that SPP formation is inherently energetic – but this is unlikely since SPP 
are seen in optoelectronics with no energy gain. My suggestion is simpler and 
based on the solar model. It suggests that the catalyzed fusion reaction 
happens but is instantly reversible, due to Pauli exclusion. Excess energy 
derives from conversion of a portion of proton mass to energy via QCD during 
the brief time when the diproton exists as a helium-2 nucleus, before reverting 
to two protons and a renewed muon. 

Until there is evidence of deuterium in the ash we have an ongoing debate in 
which the physical evidence favors one argument over the other.

it can have its lifetime greatly extended as part of the catalysis. The 
probability for this to occur is larger than zero, but how large? … “Maybe it’s

 This is the reason I've never understood the appeal of gold or bitcoin.  

 The urge to take the control of the amount of money in circulation out 

 of the hands of central banks seems to disregard the danger of deflation.

 

I'm baffled that there still exist politicians who want us to go back to the 
gold standard, believing that doing so would ensure the safety of U.S. 
currency. I think not. The appeal for gold is based on an illusion that gold 
has some kind of mystical value of its own, as if the it was ordained by God. I 
doubt God cares. Neither is paving the streets of heaven with pure gold (as 
Thomas Malloy, once envisioned) recommended due to its soft pliability. In no 
time there would be scuff marks and ruts. I wonder if there exist road repair 
jobs in heaven. 

 

Going back to a gold standard is insane.  FDR got rid of it back in 1933. 
Later, Nixon and G. Ford fiddled with how much gold U.S. citizens could 
purchase. I believe part of the problem was due to the fact that U.S. gold 
reserves held in Fort Knox was in the process of being decimated as other 
nations tried to convert their national currency reserves into gold. By 1971 
the U.S. went completely off the gold standard, allowing the price of the 
precious metal to float from a fixed $35.00 price to current market value. The 
price is currently hovering over $1,100. Gold was much higher not all that long 
ago. The more perceived angst there is in the world, the pricey gold gets, and 
vice versa. 

 

Given the topic of bitcoin currency being raised in this discussion I suspect 
inflation might be more likely of some concern rather than the ravages of 
deflation.

 

Speaking of inflation, it's really another form of taxing the entire nation. 
When the effects of inflation end up costing you more to purchase a product or 
service, it is no different than having to pay a tax on the same item when you 
are living on a fixed income. When a nation experiences moderate inflation, 
wealth is being reallocated. Not surprisingly the wealthy tend to weather 
taxation by inflation far better than who are typically living on limited 
fixed incomes.

No body could get money without paying a high interest, which was
impossible as it was shortage of income opportunity - so nobody invested so
nobody bought more than absolute minimum and nobody invested  . .  .

 No. Deflation in 1929 - 1933 was due to the Federal Reserve's response
 to a gold run. At the time, the US dollar was still considered to be
 gold, and the Federal Reserve was charged to ensure that all federal
 notes could be honored. They raised interest rates in 1929 to such an
 extent that the money supply which had been expanding for the previous
 decade, would decline to the point where they could ensure adequate gold
 reserves. They continued this policy for 3 years until Roosevelt made it
 illegal to own gold under a WWI emergency wartime act, at which point
 the gold run was over. However, even after all gold was confiscated, and
 three years of a contracting money supply, the US dollar still had to be
 devalued with respect its gold reserves from $20 / ounce to $35 / ounce.
 The Federal Reserve created a lot of money in the 1920s and much of it
 went into the stock market, driving prices to extraordinary levels,
 which had not been seen before that period in time.

Re: [Vo]:Re: Muons, SPP, DDL RPF

2015-08-13 Thread Axil Axil
There are indications that Muons are extended in there lifetimes by Rysberg
matter. The muons are produced for hours and days after the Rydberg matter
is exposed to light.

As referenced from the HolMlid paper as follows:

 The sources give a slowly decaying muon signal for several hours and days
after being used for producing H(0). They can be triggered to increase the
muon production by laser irradiation inside the chambers or sometimes even
by turning on the fluorescent lamps in the laboratory for a short time.

 But in the experiment, the ability to extend the lifetime of muons is not
open ended in time. There is a reduction of muon detection over time. If
the ability for Rydberg matter to extend the lifetime of muons was open
ended, the count of detected muons would reach a stable condition since
cosmic muons arrive at a relitivly constant rate. .

I believe that this ability to extend Muon lifetimes is rooted in the
coherent superconductive nature of Rydberg matter.

Furthermore, the mean energy of cosmic muons reaching sea level is about 4
GeV. Muons, This energy level is higher than the levels seen by Holmlid in
his experiment. This implies that the muions seen in the experiment were
produced locally by Rydberg matter.

 No body could get money without paying a high interest, which was
 impossible as it was shortage of income opportunity - so nobody invested so
 nobody bought more than absolute minimum and nobody invested  . .  .
 In the end of the day devaluation took place anyhow. The real irony is of

 No. Deflation in 1929 - 1933 was due to the Federal Reserve's response
 to a gold run. At the time, the US dollar was still considered to be
 gold, and the Federal Reserve was charged to ensure that all federal
 notes could be honored. They raised interest rates in 1929 to such an
 extent that the money supply which had been expanding for the previous
 decade, would decline to the point where they could ensure adequate gold
 reserves. They continued this policy for 3 years until Roosevelt made it
 illegal to own gold under a WWI emergency wartime act, at which point
 the gold run was over. However, even after all gold was confiscated, and
 three years of a contracting money supply, the US dollar still had to be
 devalued with respect its gold reserves from $20 / ounce to $35 / ounce.
 The Federal Reserve created a lot of money in the 1920s and much of it
 went into the stock market, driving prices to extraordinary levels,
 which had not been seen before that period in time.

I disagree. All real world economies are a combination of the two. Hybrids,
that is. With some freedom to trade, and some restrictions. For example,
few people are allowed to trade in explosive materials, for the practical
reasons demonstrated in Tianjin, China, yesterday.

There has never been a time in history when trade and commerce were
unrestricted by laws, licensing, inspection and so on. For example, the law
governing beer purity (Reinheitsgebot) has have been force in Germany since
1487, more or less unchanged. (Although Wikipedia says it was rescinded.)
There were extensive laws governing house and barn construction in
Pennsylvania in 1750. Builders who did not follow these laws were run out
of town on a rail according to an expert I know. He really is an expert:
he repairs and rebuilds 18th century structures in Pennsylvania. He knows
all of the codes from that time, as well as those presently in force.

In U.S. history, over the last 200 years, the number of laws and
restrictions to trade have been drastically reduced. We are now living in
the golden age of unrestricted free market competition, unlike like any
previous era. This is contrary to what conservatives believe, but it is
true. You have to read a lot of original source history about boring
subjects to understand this. For example, in 1800 all along the east coast,
hotels were regulated to an extent that would be unthinkable today. The
amount of money they could charge every night, the size of the room, and
the exact menu of food they had to offer was set out in detail in the laws.
In examples, up until the 1960s, lawyers and doctors were not allowed to
advertise their services or post their rates; advertisements were not
allowed to name their competing products (so they called them brand X);
rates for trucks, airplanes and taxis were set by law; and established
companies has trade groups that more or less banned the entry of

2015-08-13 Thread Bob Cook
Jones, Eric and Axil--

I have been trying to understand the mechanism of muon decay, but am still in 
the dark. 

The muon is said to be a lepton—a primary particle not made of any 
constitutents—yet it frequently decays into three particles, including 
neutrinos that are normally not observed but inferred.
The standard words  explain that muon decays by a weak force interaction, 
however an interaction with what?—it’s not said.   And what happens to a muon, 
if it is in empty space with nothing with which to interact?

It seems W+, W- and Z^0 (0 charge)  bosons, the carriers of the weak force, are 
involved, but do they appear  at random from the vacuum to disrupt a free muon, 
causing it to decay?  And why is the half life of a free muon so short?  If a 
massive boson mediates the decay, what happens to the boson?  Does it disappear 
back to the vacuum?  The bosons are said to be very short lived--10^-18 sec.

There are indications that Muons are extended in there lifetimes by Rysberg 
matter. The muons are produced for hours and days after the Rydberg matter is 
exposed to light. 

As referenced from the HolMlid paper as follows:

 The sources give a slowly decaying muon signal for several hours and days 
after being used for producing H(0). They can be triggered to increase the muon 
production by laser irradiation inside the chambers or sometimes even by 
turning on the fluorescent lamps in the laboratory for a short time.

But in the experiment, the ability to extend the lifetime of muons is not open 
ended in time. There is a reduction of muon detection over time. If the ability 
for Rydberg matter to extend the lifetime of muons was open ended, the count of 
detected muons would reach a stable condition since cosmic muons arrive at a 
relitivly constant rate. .

I believe that this ability to extend Muon lifetimes is rooted in the coherent 
superconductive nature of Rydberg matter.

Furthermore, the mean energy of cosmic muons reaching sea level is about 4 GeV. 
Muons, This energy level is higher than the levels seen by Holmlid in his 
experiment. This implies that the muions seen in the experiment were produced 
locally by Rydberg matter.

  To paraphrase what Bob has said and cited, there is little possibility of a 
spin problem, when it is proposed that the SPP can extend the lifetime of muons 
(as opposed to creating them from nothing).


  I think that we all agree that “extending the lifetime” of a catalytic 
particle like the muon, where there is already a flux coming from the natural 
source – is functionally identical to “making” them anew. In either case, a 
higher population accumulates. Since any interaction with protons would happen 
within the geometry of the strong force, it is subject to QCD, and consequently 
giga-eV are in play, so the source of energy is no mystery. Proton mass is not 
quantized.

  In the end, until Holmlid’s experiment is better explained as something other 
than detection of muons in a situation where SPP are acting on dense hydrogen, 
he should be given benefit of the doubt. No?

  This would mean that a valid, if not intuitive, explanation for the thermal 
anomaly in the glow-type reactor (incandescent reactor) involves muons 
interacting catalytically with protons, where the muons appear to be either 
created from the reaction, or else do not decay as normal, following the 
reaction. This scenario will include a thermal anomaly which does not involved 
gamma radiation.

  This M.O. leaves open three possibilities for explaining the thermal anomaly 
– one which is covered by Storms. He suggests that protons fuse to deuterium, 
despite the spin problem, and lack of evidence in the ash. Another possibility 
is that SPP formation is inherently energetic – but this is unlikely since SPP 
are seen in optoelectronics with no energy gain. My suggestion is simpler and 
based on the solar model. It suggests that the catalyzed fusion reaction 
happens but is instantly reversible, due to Pauli exclusion. Excess energy 
derives from conversion of a portion of proton mass to energy via QCD during 
the brief time when the diproton exists as a helium-2 nucleus, before reverting 
to two protons and a renewed muon. 

  Until there is evidence of deuterium in the ash we have an ongoing debate in 
which the physical evidence favors one argument over the other.

It may be that the intense magnetic field keeps the mediation bosons at bay so

Also muomic atoms occur—a +muon and an electron.  Such an item may act like a

Ø  …the muons come from LENR in the substrate, initiated by the Rydberg mater…

 

This brings up the subject of “muonic hydrogen”. Since the muon is like a heavy 
electron, it can orbit the proton like an electron. This is fairly well 
studied. What is needed for LENR, in addition, is a way to significantly 
increase the lifetime of such an arrangement. In the literature, there is no 
mention of a decrease in the decay rate of muons - due to orbital capture by a 
proton. 

 

However, the muon is about 200 times heavier than the electron, and muonic 
hydrogen is the same 200 times smaller in diameter than ordinary hydrogen. In a 
magnetic field - where the muonic hydrogen is polarized - assuming 
“inverse-square” applies (and why wouldn’t it?) this situation would seem to 
create a magnetic near-field which is 40,000 times greater than the normal 12.5 
T field. 

 

Thus … with a nickel substrate, notably ferromagnetic, or with Holmlid’s iron 
oxide, also ferromagnetic - perhaps there is a previously unknown phenomenon 
which is occurring to alter the decay rate of muonic hydrogen and do it via 
magnetism ?

 

SPP also have a large effective magnetic field. We could be talking megatesla 
(1,000,000 Tesla field strength) in combination. Of course, near fields are 
always much stronger, but this is the magnetic field equivalent of a neutron 
star.

sense could be that SPP are indeed extending the life of cosmic muons, which 
then accumulate – giving the appearance that they are being made.

In effect, we do not need to “make” them so much as keep them from decaying.

Is the glow stick all about …(drum roll)… zombie muons ?

Unfortunately, the lifetime of the muon is not the only problem. They tend to
get stuck orbiting heavier nuclei, and are thus removed from the fusion chain.
So even if their lifetime were severely extended, they probably wouldn't
catalyze all that many reactions each anyway.

This brings up the subject of “muonic hydrogen”. Since the muon is like a heavy 
electron, it can orbit the proton like an electron. This is fairly well 
studied. What is needed for LENR, in addition, is a way to significantly 
increase the lifetime of such an arrangement. In the literature, there is no 
mention of a decrease in the decay rate of muons - due to orbital capture by a 
proton. 

 

However, the muon is about 200 times heavier than the electron, and muonic 
hydrogen is the same 200 times smaller in diameter than ordinary hydrogen. In a 
magnetic field - where the muonic hydrogen is polarized - assuming 
“inverse-square” applies (and why wouldn’t it?) this situation would seem to 
create a magnetic near-field which is 40,000 times greater than the normal 12.5 
T field. 

 

Thus … with a nickel substrate, notably ferromagnetic, or with Holmlid’s iron 
oxide, also ferromagnetic - perhaps there is a previously unknown phenomenon 
which is occurring to alter the decay rate of muonic hydrogen and do it via 
magnetism ?

 

SPP also have a large effective magnetic field. We could be talking megatesla 
(1,000,000 Tesla field strength) in combination. Of course, near fields are 
always much stronger, but this is the magnetic field equivalent of a neutron 
star.

Ron, I understand your view. I might just be too radical. However, my
experience is that starting with a clean plate - taking in a minimum of the
regulations and try to catch the regulation with as generic statements as
possible is a good starting poin. The other way to eliminate what is not
required is just not going to eliminate anything - it actually will add
more stuff. My thinking is that any law that is not easy enforceable is
useless and laws that does not make sense or violates general moral (did
not find a better word) should not be allowed.
I do know very little about building roads. However, I think the industry
knows what is required. I see no reason that the government should be
involved in determine how. The competition would easily force a set of
standards to be 'typical' and then the buyer could buy what standard he
wants. I know that someone is saying that would be people taking short
cuts. That is just as it is today also. It is still very costly and
in-effective to litigate based on details. The method I suggest (to
delegate the standardization would bring new methods in quicker as it could
create competitive advantages to the implementer. Now we are doing things
as we always done and hope for a better result and you know what that
means.:) Just stick with what always was and then no risk for the behind
and no difficult new stuff to have to learn about. This goes for most of
our regulation.

are seen in optoelectronics with no energy gain. My suggestion is
simpler and based on the solar model. It suggests that the catalyzed
fusion reaction happens but is instantly reversible, due to Pauli
exclusion. Excess energy derives from conversion of a portion of proton
mass to energy via QCD during the brief time when the diproton exists as
a helium-2 nucleus, before reverting to two protons and a renewed muon. 


Until there is evidence of deuterium in the ash we have an ongoing
debate in which the physical evidence favors one argument over the

gold, and the Federal Reserve was charged to ensure that all federal

extent that the money supply which had been expanding for the previous
decade, would decline to the point where they could ensure adequate gold
reserves. They continued this policy for 3 years until Roosevelt made it
illegal to own gold under a WWI emergency wartime act, at which point
the gold run was over. However, even after all gold was confiscated, and
three years of a contracting money supply, the US dollar still had to be
devalued with respect its gold reserves from $20 / ounce to $35 / ounce.
The Federal Reserve created a lot of money in the 1920s and much of it

which had not been seen before that period in time.
