I have a lot of work to do and haven't touched this area for over two years simply because I didn't want to push it in front of very conventional supervisors.
The struggle has been to get into the mindsets of establishment scientists and present the thesis. It's been difficult, breaking down a few times, disappearing for months, popping up again, conceding (both ways), toning stuff down, taking advice. The MD stuff I'd never talk to my supervisors about at this stage. One was trained as a theoretical physicist at Cambridge so no point arguing at this stage. Wait for the data. No-one sticks their neck out until the bandwagon is rolling. More than anything I've learnt about research is that it is more like politics. People are not necessarily wanting to solve problems but change their positions when it becomes unsustainable. You go there all young and giddy and have to tone it down. http://uk.geocities.com/remicornwall/PartOutline.pdf I think eqn. 33 page 16 is really neat and economical and I don't really need to do the MD simulations but I will. I want to tidy up this: http://uk.geocities.com/remicornwall/NonCarnot.pdf Came to me in a flash a few years ago and was written down quickly. This one is very old (2002) and I am embarrassed by it. More prose than maths (around page 5) http://uk.geocities.com/remicornwall/PTSP2ndLaw.pdf REMEMBER THIS STUFF NEEDS TIDYING UP. When I have an idea I sketch it down quickly not necessarily complete then I come back to it. -----Original Message----- From: Jones Beene [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 30 October 2008 18:14 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Vo]:Tata, Butanol, Biofuels ----- Original Message ---- From: Remi Cornwall > Yes it a Maxwell Demon but it can be done if you know your way around the Maxwell Demon arguments. This is not to detract from you argument, which I like -- ... but would want to see more detail (like are you using the penduli in the same way as the 'tuning fork' analogy?) ... yet I find it most amusing that you can readily accept a Maxwell Demon - for which there is zero proof, and at the same time be so vocal in rejecting the Mills theory of 'redundant ground states' of hydrogen; for which there is ample proof from him, from cosmology; and even quasi-independent University replication, where a megajoule of excess is documented, and with little other way to explain it (non chemical at least).
