And I thought I was being way out ;-)
But there are plenty of people who have
been far more way out than the above.
Still, no one seems to have twigged the significance
of "(d^n)L/dt^n of very high orders." 8-)

PLASMOIDS AND COLD FUSION
W. Bostick produced that which he called
plasmoids by discharging through electrodes.
Bostick wrote a paper that was titled
"Plasmoids" that was published in
SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN in 1957(1).
He may have been the first to apply this
term to this phenomena.
According to Peratt, Bostick coined the
term In this paper, he had
already began to tell others about his
speculation that galaxies and the phenomena
he produced were similar. He compared the
shapes and the travel of these things. He
also speculated a little about the identity
of "particles." He shows pictures of
different kinds of plasmoid shapes in the
article and related these to different kinds
of shapes of galaxies.
Many people including Bostick, Alfven who
is a physics Nobel Prize winner, Peratt and
Lerner have developed similar astronomical
theories that model the universe as plasmoids
and that can be said to be derivations or
summarizations of the experimental work of
W. Bostick and others. It has become evident
that atoms can be defined as plasmoids,
especially as according to the phenomena
produced by Ken Shoulders. It seems that
there are many different kinds of plasmoid
phenomena. The EVs that Ken Shoulders
produced and ball lightning may be
classified as kinds of this general
phenomena.
There is evidence that both plasmoids and
ball lightning are associated with neutrons,
radioactivity, production of elements, and
excess radiation, and that they are a locus
of this.
Based on the phenomena that Matsumoto
produced, the traces, the pictures and
descriptions of electrodes, the pictures of
stationary BL and corona-like phenomena, the
visible BL-like phenomena that he reports,
and the sparks that he observed that left
traces like those produced during
electrolysis and discharge, one may
categorize CF phenomena as tiny ball-
lightning or plasmoids. Important evidence
is the holes and trails on and in
emulsions and electrodes that Matsumoto
produced by discharging and electrolysis,
the holes in electrodes that Liaw et al.
produced, the holes in electrodes that
others produced, the empty areas in
electrodes that are shaped liked
grains that Matsumoto and Silver et al.
produced and the half-empty grains that
Matsumoto produced, and the holes and
tunnels and trails on and in electrodes
that Silver produced. The tunnels, round
holes, and trail-like marks are similar to
those that are produced by ball lightning
phenomena, though ball lightning are
associated with bigger effects. These
tunnels, round holes, and trail-like marks
are also similar to those produced by the
EV phenomena that K. Shoulders produced.
Silver and his co-authors who published a
paper in the December, 1993 issue of FUSION
TECHNOLOGY have reproduced the tunnels,
holes, and trail-like markings in metals
that Matsumoto produced. These tunnels,
holes, and trail-marks are evidence of the
conversion and change of materials.
Important evidence that both CF phenomena
and substance in general are plasmoid
phenomena is Matsumoto's experience of the
production of electricity by apparatus.
I suspect that plasmoid phenomena such as
electrodes and other materials may convert
to be bigger plasmoids and light and
electricity. EVs and ball lightning are
known to convert to light and electricity.
I think that all substance can be identified
as plasmoid phenomena.
I suspect that the round holes in electrodes
that Matsumoto produced and the round holes
and tunnels that Silver produced are due to
the boring of BL-like phenomena -- the
substance was converted to light, electricity
or other kinds of plasmoids, I suspect.
And I suspect that the grain-shaped voids or
pits that they produced is evidence of the
conversion of the grain to light or
electricity or of the production of other
kinds of plasmoids, though there may also be
the distortion of the grains or the
dislocation of grains by separation. Some
plasmoids are apparently able to travel
through materials, even if the plasmoids are
very big. The plasmoids that Matsumoto has
produced does this, and this is major evidence
to support my deductions. Matsumoto has also
shown pictures of sectioned electrodes with
what seem to me to be trail-like tracks, as
if tiny BL-like phenomena traveled inside and
eft tracks.
===========================================
"Plasmoid" - that seems a useful word.
I'll have to remember it.
Reading about ""tiny plasmoids" brings to mind
Mizuno's tiny tornado picture on the front of his
book - all part of the same menagerie of Vortexian
phenomena. Not for nothing this discussion group is
called Vortex, eh!
