It is disconcerting that I have not seen the post from Jones Beene
which has been quoted by Mark Iverson below. Something is gumming up
the works! And what's with "Symantec" deleting messages?
The audit trail on this subject seems to disappear as quickly as it
appears. I got my info directly off the Sandia site, and it
indicated a 1.30 COP for a helium shot, IRC. I have repeatedly seen
announcements on their site which later disappear, such as their
schedule for producing p-B fusion.

Hi Jones, Horace,
We have a Z-pinch device housed here at the Nevada Terawatt
Facility, a part of the University's physics dept... it took three
railroad flatcars to get it here from Sandia or Los Alamos. A
close friend, an electrical engineer, was a part of the technical
team at this facility, and he has also related to me that on more
than one occasion, the 'firing' of the Z-pinch machine has resulted
in anomalous energy that could not be explained, and instruments
all seemed to be working properly... don't think they ever tracked
it down since they have deadlines and budgets as well.

Very interesting comments Horace, especially:
“A clue to the truth of this, and to the fact that uncertainty
energy is extractable, is the fact Sandia surprisingly obtained
over-unity shots when using helium to test the Z-machine.”
Do you have a citation for that? I wasn’t aware of this detail.

The Casimir effect is significant in the binding potential of the
deflated state, and thus in elongating the duration of the state
pre-fusion, though the net energy imparted by the Casimir effect is
zero, by symmetry. A nuclear Casimir effect is also extremely
significant in binding hadrons together in a nucleus. Yes, the
Casimir effect is not a major player in creating (nuclear) heat,
but uncertainty energy due to the ZPF is. See:
http://mtaonline.net/~hheffner/NuclearZPEtapping.pdf
A clue to the truth of this, and to the fact that uncertainty
energy is extractable, is the fact Sandia surprisingly obtained
over-unity shots when using helium to test the Z-machine.
Even if Rossi and BLP and all the other cold fusion efforts, and
hot fusion efforts like ITER, turn out to not be commercially
viable, I think Sandia's ambitious z-pinch program will produce a
viable energy technology, and within a few years. For general
info see:
http://www.sandia.gov/z-machine/
I think it is wise to not over commit to the Rossi technology being
both real and useful until an actual MW producing plant is built
and functioning long term. If this is a hoax it will of course set
cold fusion research financing back years, and the pie will be in
our faces.
