No, Harry it really does not. No more than it matters why cold fusion works. I was merely responding to a comment on this thread with my own hair-brained ideas.
Regardless of *how* it works, the principles have now decided that they must throw down the gauntlet. Scrutiny is being brought to bear from various reputable sources. I just hope we fare better than Brian Josephson with *our* heretical claims. All test equipment has been calibrated, traceable to NIST. Alternative verifications are prepared. And here come da judge(s). A 60 day clock is ticking. Watch this space. The evidence can not be sequestered. Watch this space for any advance notices. :-) Terry On Feb 1, 2008 3:03 PM, Harry Veeder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 1/2/2008 11:30 AM, Terry Blanton wrote: > > > On Jan 31, 2008 5:39 PM, Jones Beene <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > >> A regular poster to Vo, who will remain unnamed, may > >> want to chime-in with an appropriate anecdote here, > >> about a magnetic motor being developed which shows a > >> much greater dT than what JLN has shown... or not. > > > > Odd, I just finished discussing this topic with a colleague less than > > one hour ago.
