This is an interesting discussion about a powerful explosive material(50x normal). Could it be that the military will go to lengths to keep this out of the public use? I suspect that they would stagnate progress completely if they have their chance. It is good that cars, air planes, and all of the other technological advancements that could give them an edge in future engagements found their way into common usage. In today's environment It would not surprise me to see a black curtain fall over any new discovery which could have military implications, and unfortunately LENR is in that category. The lack of public funding implies unusual treatment for a scientific subject, but perhaps there is a massive undertaking hidden from our view. I am not aware of any rumors to that effect however.
How is this for a conspiracy theory? :-) Dave -----Original Message----- From: mixent <[email protected]> To: vortex-l <[email protected]> Sent: Mon, Jul 7, 2014 6:21 pm Subject: Re: [Vo]:understanding the relationship between internal conversion and the far field In reply to Jones Beene's message of Mon, 7 Jul 2014 06:41:53 -0700: Hi, [snip] >Not quite the same as LENR but close, since apparently with the military >version of nano-thermite, instead of finding the usual nanoparticles of >magnetite, we find that a ferrihydrite (nominally FeOOH) is used, which >apparently has hydrogen content in order to provide the vehicle for gain.

As Robin will note, either can fit into a Mills explanation as well, >since both metals have Rydberg IP "holes". Not only that but Mills is using chemicals with crystalline water in his latest version because, under heating, the water is released as molecular water rather than liquid water, and according to him, molecular water is a Mills catalyst (m=3). (Note that 2 FeOOH => Fe2O3 + H2O when heated). Also 2Al + 3H2O => Al2O3 + 3H2 as the source of the Hydrogen). Furthermore a 50 fold increase in energy over normal chemical energy falls right in the Hydrino ballpark. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
