Hi Robin, > Surely that [RF] would only preclude him from getting a patent if it were the only claim? Many patents include aspects of other patents.
Well, maybe not - but I am backing off the RF possibility anyway without more evidence for it. It was offered as a an effective way to stimulate the reaction via resonant spin flipping at 1.42 GHz. There could be distinct advantage to any kind of RF over resistence heating, if dense hydrogen is there; but it looks like there are technical problems in powering RF from the Blue box. The case of the missing coax. The only possible way would be to set up the reactor itself as a triode, where the fuel cylinder was the anode, and there is a concentric cathode, external to the anode with a grid in between. In this way a P-in of mid voltage DC current to the cathode and the grid could be modulated by onboard circuitry which tolerates heat. That is: the grid could be modulated by say an onboard array of Gunn or tuned cavity diodes. IOW there probably are tunable diodes available which could tolerate the heat. But the signal would likely be easily detectable in the room, even with a Faraday cage. I wonder if anyone checked for RF in there? Jones
