New E-Cat
Terminology

http://22passi.blogspot.com/2012/01/new-e-cat-terminology.html

This time Passi lets us know he's JOKING :
I share with readers of all 22 steps, to joke a little 'minds and
refreshing the hottest, the written text of a funny email from a friend
last week.
PS And please, someone explain to advance to those of Vortex
which is just a game, if not, well this time, translating with
Google-translate come to believe that it is a serious thing!
;-)

To measure an E-Cat will take new terminologies.
For example, there will certainly be a critical dimension of that special
combination H + Ni + secret ingredients, under which an E-Cat can not
work. This amount will be the Mouse : Minimum Operational Unit
Sufficient Extent . Cat-And there will be small, 1 mouse, and E-Cat
largest, 2, 5 or n MOUSE. You will have to determine which is the
energy produced by 1 mouse, and what is the mass and volume of the same
mouse. It can not operate with less than 1 Cat-MOUSE.
Then, every E-Cat must have a ETAIL ( Energy Transfer And Input
Line), or an E-tail, almost a double tube where cold water enters and
exits hot water.
Finally, the unit's power emitted by an E-Cat is the MEOW
:Measurement of Energy Outlined in Watts . In fact MEOW 1 Watt =
1.
And so on and so forth:)

 I probably used the wrong term: not really a joke, but something that

 Daniele was referring to the chance that the E-Cat (and cold fusion in
 general) might be discussed on a local TV show called Voyager [1][2]
 which investigates conspiracies, paranormal activities, UFOs, mysteries,
 etc.

 As far as I understand this show deals with the subjects treated with
 excessive credulity and almost total lack of skepticism in a sort of
 flamboyant style, and for this reason it is often ridiculed and parodied
 [3] by the rest of the media and not taken very seriously by them and the
 informed public.

 So, if footage of the E-Cat and people involved with it or LENR and
 cold fusion in general were to appear in this show, both them and their
 supporters would be mocked up by skeptics for some time; just in Italy,
 however.

 Anyway, this is just my speculation and educated guess by reading other
 related comments on that site, I'm not sure if it's really what he was
 referring about. It might as well been tongue-in-cheek that I didn't get.

The joke is probably related to the primadonna. Primadonna is the name 
given to the lead female singer in an ensemble. The quotes mean the 
prima donna isn't such, that is, she is not prima, or she is not 
donna.


Not that I meant to defend Rossi, or to agree with him, and I certainly 
think that MY bashing has gone to absurd lengths (like implying or 
cautioning about potential sabotage), but this is funny. It's also a 
good example on the difficulty of protecting your identity on the 
internet. In the end, it's less troublesome to just make your identity 
public, and deal with it, than to deal with all the measures to be and 
remain anonymous.




Re: [Vo]:A huge Rossi (bad) thing to be revealed soon. (Daniele Passerini)

2012-01-29 Thread Andre Blum
I apologize. I did not mean to tell you what to discuss and what not. 
(And in fact, I wasn't. I was voting, and I got some thumbs up for that.)


I think I am one of many followers of this list that joined (right) 
after October 28, because, apart from a few blogs that seem to repeat 
each other's messages, it is about the only place where you see the news 
fast. Messages here are sometimes primary info, sometimes early info, 
and many times they are accompanied with great commentary. So it is a 
great place to be. Take that as a compliment.


I don't have any evidence for it ( maybe Bill has), but I think the 
number of passive subscribers of this list has grown immensely since 
October. Many more will just read the web version at mail-archive.com. I 
guess many of these, like myself, will not be physicists, and will only 
partly understand the most technical posts. And they will not all be 
able to contribute much. This may be a different situation from a year 
back, when you 'old farts' were on your own. Again, you can take that 
larger number of readers as a compliment, but you (or we) may also 
see it as a responsibility.


A discussion about Mary Yugo's identity was not what _I_ was waiting 
for. It just won't bring _me_ much. In fact I don't care about _all_ 
your identities, and I take what _everyone_ says with a grain of salt, 
and _all_ of you may have hidden agendas and may be selling calorimetry 
or other equipment. I'm on here to learn about the e-Cat and LENR, and 
whether it will really change the world, which I hope, and tend to believe.


Amidst all this sometimes the question pops up whether a web based forum 
would be a better format. These proposals probably come from new 
subscribers. I'm undecided on that, myself. It is much harder to see the 
time line of posts in a forum, and it is harder to see what you have 
read and what you have not. On the other hand, it would be easier to 
skip side discussions that interest you less or are more off-topic (like 
on people's identities). The fact that the proposal keeps popping up may 
be an indication that vortex-l as a mailing list has reached a critical 
mass where it just doesn't work too well any more.

I am also pleased that the noise level has abated with the reduction in 
repetition of the same issues.  My tendency is to concentrate upon the science 
and that should become more common now.

For a while I was seriously considering leaving the group just to reduce the 
influx of messages that piled into my in-box, but now I am happy that I hung in 
there.

The secret identity of MY is not important to me , but personally I think it is 
cowardly to hide in that manner and the collective frowns upon that behavior.  
Perhaps anyone who hides their identity should be banned as a general rule.

Back to the science!

As far as I understand this show deals with the subjects treated with 
excessive credulity and almost total lack of skepticism in a sort of 
flamboyant style, and for this reason it is often ridiculed and parodied 
[3] by the rest of the media and not taken very seriously by them and 
the informed public.


So, if footage of the E-Cat and people involved with it or LENR and cold 
fusion in general were to appear in this show, both them and their 
supporters would be mocked up by skeptics for some time; just in Italy, 
however.


Anyway, this is just my speculation and educated guess by reading other

I have an announcement.. uhm. It has nothing to do with Bologna, where 
everything is going well. It has nothing to do with the fact that I’m more than 
convinced that one day the (honest) skeptics that have painted us as believers 
will have to apologize. But alas, today I came to know of something for which 
we will be made fun of for a while before the e-cat story comes to a happy end. 
Remember these words and prepare yourself to be mocked.

In a further comment he gives this (Again, translated by AB):

@ Guido52 No, I was referring to something that will involve Focardi, Rossi and 
(!) Celani. When it happens you will understand what I meant. For the nth time 
(a neologism made for you): I DON’T CARE WHETHER ROSSI COMMERCIALIZES IN A YEAR 
OR TEN. OK, I hope it happens as soon as possible, but I mostly care about 
HAVING EXPERIMENTS BEING DONE AT UNIBO. I HAVE ALWAYS SAID THAT ON THE DAY THIS 
FALLS THROUGH, I WOULD BE THE FIRST TO CRITICIZE ROSSI. Why he has released 
these videos is a mystery to me. At least you have to acknowledge that if he 
truly was a crook, he would only be hurting himself.

Plus - think about this Andre - We absolutely must get to the bottom of this

doing accurate calorimetry in the future !

George's animosity to LENR is so irrational, compulsive and severe, that it
is not ruled out that when someone (not necessarily Ed Storms but anyone)
who George knows is associated with LENR orders calorimetry supplies from
his company, that he might actually try to sabotage that equipment in a
subtle way that allows him (George) to undermine the effort by showing later
(and unbeknownst to the victim) that the equipment they got is defective.

Let's be clear on this: MY/George has demonstrated a pathological level of
obsession with proving this technology wrong. That is fact! This does not
mean he would take it to another level - but do you want to take that risk?
I think not!

I have no idea what you might think you are missing. That was written 
like Mary Yugo.


By the way, I'm disappointed by all the Mary Yugo bashing. I did not 
find MY's skepticism to be severe or particularly extreme, compared 
to plenty I've seen.


Maybe I missed something, but speculation that a company that makes 
calorimetry equipment would sabotage that equipment when selling it 
to a cold fusion researcher, merely because a skeptic works there, is 
libelous and utterly out of place. Remember, skeptics don't believe 
that cold fusion works, so they wouldn't need to sabotage the 
equipment, in fact they would want it to work perfectly, and sending 
sabotaged calorimetry equipment to a serious researcher would be a 
formula for discovery and loss. It's not like they are selling black 
boxes, to be used as be-all and end-all devices that simply tell you what's so.


Rather, that speculation is more of a sign of imbalanced thinking 
than anything I saw from Mary Yugo.

Yes, you did indeed miss something... You are really out of touch with what
went on, and WHY she was ultimately banned... 

Tell you what... you go back and read ALL 900+ of her (his) postings since
only 11/10/2011, and then tell me that you still think that!  Out of those
900+ postings, I would bet that 800+ were simply repetitious postings about
Rossi's contradictory statements, the inconclusive 'demos', the unknown
customer, and her 'suspicions' about Rossi's behavior and business
practices.  VERY LITTLE TECHNICAL CONTENT, and conclusions which the
Collective had ALREADY settled on or mentioned by April of last year (and
here she (he) was beating the pulverized horse in Nov/Dec timeframe). People
were leaving the forum because there were over 100 unread postings in 24
hours (now we're down to less than 30)... so it was impacting the forum in a
negative way...

As the one who 'rode her ass' a number of times, I have said that her (his)
technical criticisms were WELCOME... but to lay off the focus on the
personalities. She ignored all suggestions and continued with the barrage of
postings...  She (he) deserved to be banned, and this forum is much better
off and more functional without her (his) presence.

Well, as a semi-interested outsider who'd love a cheap (essentially fuel-less) 
heater for my home, the way things look to me on this is simply, rule #2 is 
thrown around here generously, but no one seems to read the parts about 
derision and ad-hominem being banned, and go back to the science.

It isn't libelous unless it's questioning Ampenergo or Defkalion. :)

 Rather, that speculation is more of a sign of imbalanced
 thinking than anything I saw from Mary Yugo.

Funny how that works, isn't it? She is banned, and now generates even more 
discussion based on who she is, and what she is suspected of doing or 
whatever that case may be. Keep going, gentlemen, maybe you'll create a martyr 
for someone. None of the rest of this is directed at you, Abd.

You are all so bloody wrapped around the axle about this you've gone off into a 
wonderland of speculation and digging into places you have no business AS PER 
THE RULES OF THE FORUM.

Funny also that the bleeding hearts aren't throwing a fit about accusations of 
assumed gender identity and/or speculations about crossdressing. Hell, maybe 
Mary Yugo is actually M*A*S*H's Maxwell Klinger after all. Maybe Rossi is the 
savior of man with his reactor, but spends his nights getting off to Hawaiian 
hula dancers traipsing atop blocks of borated paraffin. Who knows? It does NOT 
matter to the science one bit.

The long and the short of it is, and plenty of you are apparently not 
courageous enough to admit it, you get off on keeping this going. If you've got 
the guts, admit it. If not, get back to the science like you whined about for 
months, and leave this damn subject to rest in peace.

I fully expect to get banned for this. And to tell you the truth, I don't give 
a damn.

Good idea. Discussing the science and analysis of the tests is what we should 
be talking about. 

Except that you and others are now doing exactly what you say she was banned 
for. Focusing on the personal nature/personalities. Why don't you do as you 
suggested before, drop this garbage, and let us get back to the real heart of 
the matter, the technology (whatever it is) itself?

But it's a much different taste when the tables are turned, isn't it? You (not 
just you personally, Mark, a bunch of you) really didn't like what Mary had to 
say, and it pissed you off so much you just can't drop it. You have to dig it 
back up and keep going with it. The desire for the last word, the last insult, 
is just too much. And who can blame you? No one. You're only human, after all, 
and just as fallible as any of the skeptics you so despise.

Meanwhile, the rest of us are all hoping, or praying, whatever the case may be, 
for a truly revolutionary thing that gives us essentially free (or at least far 
cheaper) heat during the winter, or clean water.

Yes, by my count things have drastically improved. In the last 24 hours, only a 
little greater than 50% of postings to Vortex-L have had to do with Mary's 
identity and motivations. Yes, indeed, this is grand progress. Good work, 
gentlemen, pat yourselves on the back.

Three posts of the many in this thread have to do with the original topic. The 
rest have to do with the Mary legacy.

Think about that. And maybe, just maybe, drop this garbage, and let's get back 
to the fun stuff that Vortex used to be about.

I agree, this weekend's diversion regarding Maryyugo's secret identity is just 
slightly less irratating then last weekends free for all.  Why can't the Vortex 
get back to real science.
