Balakiryan – “We have been avoiding using this term for some time because we are seriously investigating, and treat the scientific work and the description of physical phenomena, with the utmost of respect. We never display our wishful thinking as if it were reality as many do in various parts of the world. We can confidently state that in Symphony 7A, there is a transmutation process of atoms of oxygen into hydrogen. Judge for Yourself: The composition of the gas mass on the exit of the hydrogen reactor in one hour makes more than 7 kg of hydrogen. Since the working substance in the Symphony 7A is water, then its decomposition product can only be oxygen and hydrogen. There is no oxygen on exit. However, there is hydrogen, which is eight (8) times more than it should be. And where is the oxygen? There should be 6.2 kg. But there is not. Leakage of oxygen is excluded, because we know how volatile hydrogen is, and we made sure that our hydrogen reactor is hermetically sealed. The answer is clear – “This is transmutation!” However, transmutation of oxygen atoms to hydrogen atoms (reaction) at temperatures below 80F, and with energy input of 0.5 kWh can be called “low energy nuclear reactions” (LENR, aka cold fusion [but in this case it’s not “fusion”]). There are no other options. Therefore, this is classical LENR!!! To understand and scientifically describe all processes in the hydrogen reactor, it will require efforts of hundreds of scientists and theoretical physicists and experimentalists. A team of scientists from Solar Hydrogen Trends, Inc. hopes that in the next few years, in partnership with you, esteemed members of the scientific community, we’ll get the justification of physical processes in hydrogen LENR reactors Symphony 7 series.

RD on the hot fusion reactor has verified that this concept can move heat at 10 megawatt/M2 or equiqently 1000 watts/cm2. These tests on this concept has verified a robust solution with no degragation seen after 500 heat up cycles. Conclusion from the test report... It is possible to successfully fabricate a robust, all-refractory helium-cooled heatsink using existing porous metal technology. This high temperature heatsink removed substantial amounts of power even at low mass flow rates by taking advantage of large delta-Ts in the coolant. The heatsink survived over 500 thermal fatigue cycles at 3.5 MW/m2 with onlyminimal microcracking of the faceplate. Tungsten rod armor may be incorporated into the tungsten faceplate in advanced pfc designs without the problems of joining dissimilar materials. These heat exchangers exceeded design specifications and survived a maximum heat flux of almost 6 MW/m2 and a maximum surface temperature near 1000oC. However, the pressuredrop across each module was relatively high, exceeding 55 kPa. There remain problems with controlling porosity and clogging by contaminants. The porosity difference between the two modules in these experiments was as high as 30%. No evidence of mass flow instabilities was observed for the two modules in parallel even for very high delta-T in the helium. Nearly the same thermal response was obtained on each module. However, for a worst case scenario of an unrestricted flow bypass, a 39% reduction in mass flow occurred in the module resulting in a 42% reduction in power absorbed by the helium. This level of thermal performance is more than adequate for first wall applications exposed to a 2 MW/m2 heat flux. However, better performancecould be obtained if the porosity could be doubled. This would almost triple the mass flow and power handling capability. Such an innovation could open a design window into the divertor heat flux regime of 20 to 30 MW/m2 and make high temperature,helium-cooled refractory heatsinks a viable alternative to liquid metal pfcs.

Good thoughts Rob. I believe that the main challenge for LENR Cities will be to provide substantial innovation of its own. Experience from the IT industry tells us that in order to grow a successful eco-system where talented people will contribute, you need to offer attractive innovation for others to build upon, e.g. Windows, IOS/iPhone/iPad, Android (the counter example is Nokia/Symbian that was not good enough). Just to offer a network will not do, if you want to produce revenue from you eco-system. And even if you don’t plan for profit you need to offer innovation – e.g. Wikipedia (the idea + the wiki tool), Linux (the Linux kernel by Torvalds et al). This would correspond to the part that you mention will be shared openly by those who do not care about IP. Maybe enthusiasm could do initially, but sooner or later you probably have to offer something substantial to build upon, to attract people. Yet, I think that the structures you suggest are spot-on, and the idea to look at other community projects is good. 3D printers and drones are examples of communities that are more loosely held together, and yet they have information sharing.

Actually, I believe that this is part of a new way of developing knowledge, faster than what was ever possible before the internet, which will further contribute to the well-known trend with inventions spreading over the world to mass adoption at an ever increasing speed (compare automobiles, television, mobile phones).

SV: [Vo]:Explosion May Be Out of Control LENR
I could add this quote from my book, describing what Giuseppe Levi told me about experiments with the Hotcat back in 2012, when the device was destroyed by thermal run-away. That's two and a half years ago. When they disassembled the reactor they found that the ceramic shield containing the reactor had melted, and it should withstand up to 2,700 degrees Celsius. The steel tube containing the fuel had a large hole in it and Levi saw on the edges of the hole that it had not melted-it must have been so hot that the steel boiled or burned up, indicating a temperature around 3,000 degrees.

We know that the earlier Parkhomov device was stable but appeared to be on the verge of entering a negative resistance type of operation. The slope of power input versus temperature for that original system was very close to zero but slightly positive according to the data he reported. Although I would like to have a much more extensive collection of points defining power input versus temperature, I am having to assume that the curve connecting the three given points is relatively smooth. This is not too much of a stretch since the entire temperature range over which the points are taken is very limited. When Parkhomov increased the insulation surrounding his device for the recent testing, he effectively increased the positive feedback gain by a large amount. With the insulation the amount of input power required to obtain the same temperature readings was substantially reduced. It seems reasonable to assume that the core generates the same amount of heat power when subjected to the same temperature. If this is true then the ratio of internally generated power to input power must become larger at any temperature where internal heat is being generated. Since the original product was very close to becoming unstable, with the increase in gain the latest experiment most likely resulted in a situation where the positive feedback gain exceeded unity. This is just another way of saying that a negative resistance region is now present. Of course, once the input power pushes the temperature into that region the device will self sustain all the way to thermal destruction. This increase in temperature can be extremely rapid since it is of an exponential nature. With this thought under consideration I strongly suspect that the MFMP team observed the same sequence of events. Until they increased the drive level to the threshold of destruction everything would have appeared fairly normal. The main difference I would expect is for the temperature to rise faster than expected had a dummy system been driven in a like manner. Unfortunately, it might be a fine line between a stable input drive power and the initiation of run away. My take on the debris following the explosion is that there is evidence of an extreme heating event having taken place. The spheres of molten metal along with the other indications is pretty strong evidence. I do not believe that the time frame during which the heat is emitted is necessarily very long in duration. An exponential release can occur very quickly and the heat is confined by the structure as the damage is being done. To prevent this from occurring too often, I would recommend that the amount of fuel be reduced significantly for the earlier testing. A curve can then be constructed under stable conditions which will act as a guide to indicate how much

Mats www.animpossibleinvention.comhttp://www.animpossibleinvention.com Från: David Roberson [mailto:dlrober...@aol.com] Skickat: den 10 februari 2015 02:47 Till: vortex-l@eskimo.com Ämne: [Vo]:Explosion May Be Out of Control LENR I just read the latest facebook entry by the MFMP group and suspect that they witnessed an explosion due to a thermal runaway event.The latest Parkhomov experiment appears to indicate the same out of control system problem. We know that the earlier Parkhomov device was stable but appeared to be on the verge of entering a negative resistance type of operation. The slope of power input versus temperature for that original system was very close to zero but slightly positive according to the data he reported. Although I would like to have a much more extensive collection of points defining power input versus temperature, I am having to assume that the curve connecting the three given points is relatively smooth. This is not too much of a stretch since the entire temperature range over which the points are taken is very limited. When Parkhomov increased the insulation surrounding his device for the recent testing, he effectively increased the positive feedback gain by a large amount. With the insulation the amount of input power required to obtain the same temperature readings was substantially reduced. It seems reasonable to assume that the core generates the same amount of heat power when subjected to the same temperature. If this is true then the ratio of internally generated power to input power must become larger at any temperature where internal heat is being generated. Since the original product was very close to becoming unstable, with the increase in gain the latest experiment most likely resulted in a situation where the positive feedback gain exceeded unity. This is just another way of saying that a negative resistance region is now present. Of course, once the input power pushes the temperature into that region the device will self sustain all the way to thermal destruction. This increase in temperature can be extremely rapid since it is of an exponential nature. With this thought under consideration I strongly suspect that the MFMP team observed the same sequence of events. Until they increased the drive level to the threshold of destruction everything would have appeared fairly normal. The main difference I would expect is for the temperature to rise faster than expected had a dummy system been driven in a like manner. Unfortunately, it might be a fine line between a stable input drive power and the initiation of run away. My take on the debris following the explosion is that there is evidence of an extreme heating event having taken place. The spheres of molten metal along with the other indications is pretty strong evidence. I do not believe that the time frame during which the heat is emitted is necessarily very long in duration. An exponential release can occur very quickly and the heat is confined by the structure as the damage is being done. To prevent this from occurring too often, I would recommend that the amount of fuel be reduced significantly for the earlier testing. A curve can then be constructed under stable conditions which will act as a guide to indicate how much fuel can be inserted before the thermal run away condition can begin. Perhaps the fact that MFMP guys and Parkhomov did such a good job of sealing in the hydrogen under a large amount of pressure is the root cause of the issue. There remains many unanswered questions, but the important fact is that we may now be witnessing an excellent example of LENR. Dave

I also sent an email to JT Vaughn and asked if he would like to comment. He answered with a statement from IH: - - - - - Industrial Heat, LLC has learned of a report confirming the absence of any radioactive materials in our facilities. While the conclusion was sensible -- there was no evidence of radioactive material at our site -- the report went on to make other observations beyond the scope of the investigation. Industrial Heat has invested in energy technologies in their early stages of development. We have a long term strategy of spending our resources on ideas which might or might not be successful in the market. We do this because the world still needs new, clean and efficient energy sources. We remain committed to supporting technologies that will reduce the environmental impact of producing energy and raise the standard of living in developing countries. Industrial Heat acquired certain rights to Andrea Rossi’s LENR technology. The company continues to support Dr. Rossi's research and development, and we are hopeful that our funding can lead to new discoveries. Since the acquisition, there has been no departure from our support for this project, or any other projects. Any suggestions of the views of Industrial Heat, apart from those described here, do not reflect the views of Industrial Heat or its staff. - - - - - Mats www.animpossibleinvention.comhttp://www.animpossibleinvention.com Från: Jed Rothwell [mailto:jedrothw...@gmail.com] Skickat: den 5 februari 2015 23:08 Till: vortex-l@eskimo.com Ämne: Re: [Vo]:Investigation by NC Department of Health into IH/Rossi/Vaughn/etc James Bowery jabow...@gmail.commailto:jabow...@gmail.com wrote: Who has standing to ask?

I would say no, he doesn't. I might add that he has not published anything, he says controversial things, and he has a checkered past. I think it is obvious to anyone that he does not appear credible. I think some of Rossi's claims are probably true. Others I think are exaggerated or mistaken. He certainly has a credibility problem.

SV: [Vo]:Notes from MFMP Lugano Thermal Verification -- emissivity should have been .95?
Quote by Martin Fleischmann Memorial Projecthttps://www.facebook.com/MartinFleischmannMemorialProject: We need to do a LOT more testing over the next 2 days. Right now, we need to better understand why the Lugano report writers thought they were correct in using such low values for the emissivity when the Optris and Williamson point to around 920ºC with a spot of known 0.95 emissivity and that that is not far off the rest of the temperatures. By setting to lower value MUCH higher temperatures are apparently seen. The Williamson on HUGnet reads lower than it should because of the conversion. it was within 10 degrees of the optris when on the known emissivity spot. The external B-Type thermocouple is inline, but lower as expected because of losses in the support wires and because it cannot see the hottest point. The key fact shown in DB-Calibration_16.jpg when input power is 0.89kW, is the internal B type thermocouple, that was reading the internal temperature showed a little over 1300ºC, therefore it is not possible that the external temperature could be 1276ºC (emissivity of 0.7) or 1524ºC (emissivity of 0.45) https://www.facebook.com/MartinFleischmannMemorialProject/posts/916638728366827?comment_id=916722188358481notif_t=feed_comment Mats www.animpossibleinvention.comhttp://www.animpossibleinvention.com Från: Jed Rothwell [mailto:jedrothw...@gmail.com] Skickat: den 4 februari 2015 17:02 Till: vortex-l@eskimo.com Ämne: Re: [Vo]:Notes from MFMP Lugano Thermal Verification -- emissivity should have been .95?

As far as I know Gary Wright is a pseudonym. He has had a series of more or less bizarre websites. Freeenergyscams.com ownership is covered by privacy protection, as well as Garywright.com and Shutdownrossi.com (which is also run by Wright if I remember right). He’s quite focused on discrediting Rossi, and from time to time he has collaborated with Krivit (described in my book). He seems meticulous in his methods and I wouldn’t believe he is lying. He might not be very objective though, and I suppose he chooses to publish the information that serves his purposes. He once asked the Bureau of Radiation Control at Florida’s State Health Department to make a similar inspection at Rossi’s premises in Florida. They never found any radiation, which wouldn’t surprise anyone since no radiation above background has ever been detected outside the E-Cat, and since radioactive materials are not used. At that occasion Rossi told the inspectors that “no nuclear reactions occur during the process”, which Wright considered to be important news, and he later accused me for not reporting this. In any case, I would be interested to know in what context Vaughn made his statement.

It seems we won’t get any further verification data from MFMP in the next days since their Optris unfortunately broke. http://www.e-catworld.com/2015/02/04/live-feed-for-the-mfmp-test/ In any case, if I’m not mistaken the result of the Lugano report would still be a net release of energy, even if the assumed emissivity is wrong, since the temperature based on an erroneous emissivity would only affect the heat convection term. The temperature reading in the thermal camera is basically calculated through the Stefan-Boltzmann Law (‘backwards’) and on the input emissivity. The erroneous temperature and emissivity are then cancelled out when calculating the radiated power through Stefan-Boltzmann Law. Right? I also know that the experimenters at Lugano have continued to discuss the emissivity issue, and I guess they will address that in the upcoming revised report that they have planned to release, hopefully based on follow-up measurements. I have no idea when though.

SV: [Vo]:doubling speed every 2 years for decades more, Intel silicon photonics now revolutionizing data centers, Michael Kassner: Rich Murray 2015.01.26
I believe that a good explanation for doubling speed is provided by Kurzweil’s suggestion that he calls The Law of Accelerating Returns (http://www.kurzweilai.net/the-law-of-accelerating-returns), basically meaning that whatever is invented/evolved in a system is fed back into the system and increases the over-all speed of invention/evolution, leading mathematically to exponential growth of speed. Another basic principle in the universe seems to be self-organization, which has led to evolution of life and intelligence. And from a broad outside perspective, human intelligence is now part of a self-organizing system where technology is evolved. At every phase, the speed of evolution follows an s-curve with a slow start, an exponential increase in speed and a slow-down due to some natural limitation. The overall exponential growth consists of several such s-curves put together. Biological life is at its end of its s-curve. What we know as technology is taking over (both those phenomena consist in turn of lots of s-curves put together). I think that it would be a little bit presumptuous to believe that: - human intelligence is the highest possible form of intelligence. - humans could possibly understand the absolute limits of computation or future similar phenomena. I can see no reason to believe that doubling speed would cease in an imaginable future. We’re just a piece of the puzzle.
