Ø Worth mentioning. If soft x-rays were being downshifted to visible light, this could account for some of the brightness observed in the photos of Lugano. Is the light emission more intense than it should be for an incandescent wire embedded in cement? If so the COP was even higher than stated.
Say … This is an angle worth pursuing. A thermometry camera which determines temperature based on measuring the flux of long wavelength IR radiation is calibrated back to the real temperature. And there is a known and predictable visible light emission which is part of the same package, but it does not get measured or accounted for, since it NEVER varies when the system is a true blackbody radiator. OK so far, so good- this is standard physics. But… what happens when there is more radiation in the visible range than there should be, compared to the IR spectrum? This would be due to x-rays being downshifted to visible light, and then being emitted through a translucent material, for instance. In fact downshifting in this fashion would be expected from soft x-rays. The IR spectrum does not reflect the lost energy. Since the assumption is that IR flux is absolutely correlated to a predictable visible flux, then any system which has a higher visible flux destroys the underlying assumptions of correlated thermal energy, but in a way that UNDERESTIMATES the true excess energy ! IOW a system where gain derives from soft x-rays could be producing far more real excess energy than it seems, if measure by IR thermometry - since a significant percentage of the gain ends up as visible light and is not accounted for. Has anyone else noticed this before? … or is there an error in the logic? Of course, this assumes the DDL modality for gain - and not LENR, which is probably why no one has noticed it. Moreover, it only applies to the IR camera technique and in Parkhomov’s setup, he captures all the excess energy (since the visible light does not escape) so his gain is not underestimated.
