Jones has identified the lack of significant excess heat fro PdD and NiH systems.
After 28 years nobody has succeeded in generating 100 watts excess in a repeatable process. In fact there is no qualified system that can achieve 10 watts excess and a COP > 1.5 Perhaps we are trapped in the wrong metaphor. CF requires two miracles: 1. D-D fusion 2. No radiation Perhaps a magnetic origin interacting with the vacuum requires less on the miracle front. ________________________________ From: Jed Rothwell <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, June 6, 2017 9:44 PM To: Vortex Subject: Re: [Vo]:Bose Einstein Condensate formed at Room Temperature Jones Beene <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: No ! You seem to be confusing chemistry with nuclear reactions. Heat is not being stored but altered reactants are. Incorrect. Any method of storing energy -- chemical, mechanical, electrical or nuclear -- must result in a heat deficit. All energy converts to heat. Whether the heat sources is chemical or nuclear, all of the energy in the end converts to heat, and only heat leaves the calorimeter. Obviously, the heat itself is not stored. I did not say that, and I did not mean it. When you load a hydride, chemical energy is stored -- not heat itself. More energy goes in than comes out. There is an energy deficit, and when the hydride is inside calorimeter, that shows up as a heat deficit. When you charge a battery, electricity is stored as a chemical change. Total energy leaving the cell is less than energy going in. Because heat is the only form of energy a calorimeter can detect, and because all sources and all forms of energy must eventually degrade into heat, the calorimeter sees a deficit. Other instruments will show the stored energy in other forms. An electric power meter attached to the battery will show the stored energy as increased potential electricity (voltage or specific gravity), but a calorimeter can only measure it as a heat deficit while the battery is charged. Mechanically winding up a spring inside a calorimeter will show a complete heat deficit. That is to say, you put work into the spring, but no heat is produced. This was a classic 19th century experiment performed by J. P. Joule. This would violate the First Law if the energy were not stored in the spring, by changing the internal structure of the spring. https://books.google.com/books?id=oxQ2i23IiMsC&pg=PT67&lpg=PT67&dq=winding+up+a+spring+in+a+calorimeter&source=bl&ots=LkyLjbUQbX&sig=sAFyzKgdgWBLUFo-jKXTQy_TQGs&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjhg5uCy6rUAhVG4SYKHWysARMQ6AEIKjAC#v=onepage&q=winding%20up%20a%20spring%20in%20a%20calorimeter&f=false What you are describing would be a violation of the First Law. You cannot store energy into a system and not reduce the amount of energy that comes out of the system. The dense deuterium which is created and stored using some of the heat of the ongoing reaction can and does react after power is cut. If dense deuterium is created, and this stores energy, less energy degrades into heat, and there is a heat deficit. This does not happen. - Jed
