Mike,
Hydrinophobes note: this may be a truly "independant"
confirmation of BLP
reactions. What would be the clincher is a window into the
reaction chamber
and spectroscopic analysis of the plasma there. Ironic that it
may come from
derivatily from Langmuir of 'pathological science' fame.
You might want to write up the details of this experimental work
and put your hydrino slant on it , for the benefit of the HSG
forum. I have given up posting there as it has disintegrated into
something-else, these days.
Anyway, I have talked to Moller personally when he was trying to
get his new machine and tubes out of Russia, where they were
made - and he was running into trouble with Frolov. He is a
tireless, extremely dedicated, thorough and doggedly determined
fellow, and I think that he will succeed. He is a
man-on-a-mission, and that type of personality generally gets
there first when the more brilliant fast-starters stumble.
I mentioned several possible ways to Moller that he can increase
the heating of the 'Langmuir effect,' if it indeed has some
relevance to a hydrino effect, as well. That is, if it is related
somehow to the hydrino via a Mills catalysts (for instance, among
other enhancers is adding argon, helium and/or slats of K or Sr).
If he has taken that advice, he apparently either hasn't shared it
with Naudin, or at least they have chosen not to publish that part
of it yet. There is more than one operating MAHG unit, one must
suspect, and I doubt Naudin is privy to the best-one.
Should Moller go self-powered, and I think it will happen soon, it
will likely end all chance for Mills getting the Nobel prize, as
the base-effect was discovered elsewhere a half-century ago, and
Mills OS theory has holes, whereas Dirac's does not, and so what
has Mills contributed really? a name for a hypothetical particle
that he cannot even weigh? The notoriety of the big-prize seems to
have been RM's main concern and goal, rather than a commercial
unit. The end-result of Moller getting there first would be
triple-irony in my opinion (almost a biblical message about
pride?).
Here is the forecast and dramatized chronology of the quest for OU
in the most abundant element, which would make a good TV
docu-drama - how about "The Quest for Hy-O-U"
Flashback: Langmuir invents the torch, finds the energy anomaly,
but gets the Nobel for something else. Langmuir balks at his own
finding, as it goes against physics doctrine, and even goes on to
popularize the whole "pathological science" shtick - all along
thinking that his torch could not possibly violate the sacrosanct
2nd Law of Thermodynamics, on which physics is built. Even though
Dirac could have told him otherwise.
However, Langmuir writes private letters to Bohr about the
"anomaly."
Years later, Mills finds something similar, in an energy anomaly
involving hydrogen, but ignores Langmuir and Dirac and tries to
foster his own pet theory onto the effect, which the critics tear
to threads (in their own mind). In the mean time, Mills has
neglected to produce the all-important self-powered unit, which
will be absolutely necessary to get mainstream physics to believe
in it.
A determined fellow and admirer of the "Great Dane" (Bohr) comes
along, named Nicholas Moller, finds the old letters from Langmuir
to Bohr in Copenhagen, raises capital, draws up blueprints for
something similar, has the device built in Russia, where the
Russians try to steal the idea and patent it there. Moller has to
hire a competing Russian mafia to get the machine out of Russia,
but turns it into a self-powered unit, using the wealth of ideas
available over the internet to improve the device, and by
tracking-down the people who follow these things closely and will
talk with him and people like Naudin who will do the testing.
Moller, the pragmatist and tireless hunter, and not Mills the more
brilliant but egotistical genius, "gets there first" and gets the
ticket to Stockholm... and probably more wealth potential than
Gates.
That is, unless Mills (and/or many others who are in the running)
somehow get a big breakthrough and get any self-powered unit in
operation "real soon." Many are tantalizingly close. Many have
been in hot pursuit longer than Moller. But lady-luck plays a few
cards in this deal also.
Actually I am hoping for a local player to step in at the last
second with the self-powered unit, but it could also be Moller or
Mills or Storms or Shoulders or Tessien instead. The 2nd Law will
crumble soon. IMHO the big prize for breaking the law (2nd Law)
and throwing physics into the disarray it rightly deserves for
ingrained pig-headedness - will go for the device itself, and not
the underlying theory, which may take a generation to flesh out.
Let me repeat one thing - massive heat OU is NOT going to be
enough - you must demonstrate a self-powered unit to remove all
doubt.
That device may not involved hydrogen, instead it may be even
simpler than most experimenters in LENR can imagine. Time will
tell.
Everyone but a handful of Dirac believers sees that P.A.M. held
the kernel of truth but no one wanted to believe that a
long-neglected theorist living in Colorado (Hotson), and most
disturbingly (for the mainstream) publishing that 'revised Dirac
theory' in an iconoclastic "Infinite Energy," a totally ignored
magazine by the mainstream - got the underlying theory right. So
Hotson/Dirac will be intentionally disregarded for decades, and
they will have to give the award for the device itself, not the
correct theory.
That is my (the eternal optimist's) take on how the story will
unfold in the coming years (maybe months). I'm sure Randy et al.
sees it differently. Al is always in there somewhere (methinks al
is for 'alien'). BTW all vortex prophets and pundits are free to
add your on spin on this upcoming docu-drama..
