Fred,
The main problem which is still lingering is the lack of direct
confirmation about the low power input, and the lack of a
schematic. This could relate to being 'holiday' season in Europe.
But when you look at the test reports, when JLN runs the device on
full DC power, he is able to input 1324 watts, which seemingly
couldn't happen if this power was all going to a filament with a
resistance higher than an ohm.
Plus even then (full DC) he is getting out only 70% of the input
as heat - where is the rest of the heat going? Conversely if
George Holz's theory about the power measurments were correct,
when he was using the 50 % duty in the early testing but yet the
OU was still strong even if you double the input power- or when he
went to 5% but was getting only 5-1 OU , then it should have been
20-1 even then and not 5-1, so George's objection is also a little
shaky from that standpoint - if the reciprocal of the duty is the
measurement problem - the point being that ,there seems to be
little way to logically account for all this.
I suspect that shortly, in a few weeks hopefully, independent
testing will either confirm his results, or relegate MAHG to the
category of yet another false alarm ....
Summing up the MAHG parameters:
300 K fill pressure 80 Torr
Filament: 2.5E-4 meters dia x 0.1 meters long
~0.1 ohms @ 300 K ~1.13 ohms @ 2000 K
Filament Power Aprox. 127 watts @ 2000 K (12 Volts D.C.)
Filament Power Aprox 6.4 watts @ 5% duty cycle. Temp < 2000 K ?
Aprox. MAHG volume 500 cm^3
Number of H2 molecules in chamber ~ 1.42E21
H2 Molecular Radius 1.16E-10 meters
H2 Molecule Collision Mean Free Path (MFP) ~ 1.1E-6 Meters *
Aprox. temperature per H2 molecule @ 100 watts, 0.44 eV or 5,120
Deg K
H2 Molecular Velocity @ 300 K ~ 1.58E3 meters per second
H2 Molecular Velocity @ 5,120 deg K ~ 6.52E3 meters per second
H2-H2 Molecular Collision Frequency @ 300 K ~ 1.43E9 per second
H2- H2 Molecular Collision Frequency @ 5,120 deg K ~ 6.0E9 per
second
* MFP Based on CRC Handbook Data: 8.81E-5 Meters @ 1.0 Torr
for H2
Does the Casimir Force "track" the ZPE frequency?
