The misconception that something mysterious is going on in the hydrogen torch results from William Lyne's book "Occult Ether Physics". However, this one sentence tells precisely why Lyne is wrong. Do you see it? (the ans. is here https://goo.gl/mwohke )
*It seemed odd to me that it was later suggested that the 103 calories of dissociation energy absorbed from a very brief exposure to the arc is the same heat as that "...required for welding" as described, and I believed it to be more reasonable that the excess heat had to come from "elsewhere". The dissociation energy would be analogical to a slice of bread (@4 cal. gram), and the gross output would be equivalent to 60 loaves of bread (@1814 cal. lb.), calorie-wise. There was too much disparity between the two, with plenty of suspicious omissions and confusions, in an obvious attempt to cover up the truth in between.* On Mon, May 9, 2016 at 12:40 PM, Chris Zell <chrisz...@wetmtv.com> wrote: > I don’t know what to make of the Rossi soap opera but I always found it > strange that critics were so relaxed in dismissing an effect that resembles > Langmuir’s atomic hydrogen experiments.
