> But Rossi did allow what Levi said was a positron detector during operation... Apparently they expected to see positron annihilation.
One note on this, set against the reported Celani "rad-burst anecdote" at the demo in Bologna: If you remember the Celani story, both of his rad-meters got pegged before the demo, when a group was waiting to go in - from another room, and this burst coincided with the reactor startup ... OK - the best explanation so far was a coincidental cosmic ray burst... as odd as it sounds - here is the thread if you don't remember the incident: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg42665.html For the record, there is one possibility that may not have been mentioned before, involving positron annihilation - which can explain this. Of course, a coincidental cosmic ray burst cannot be ruled out, but we can weigh the various probabilities of that happenstance against what will be suggested below. The evidence which we need to know would be this: was Celani standing in alignment with the axis of horizontal arm of the E-Cat (in the other room) so that a directed beam from the axis of the E-Cat would have been aimed directly at him? If not, then disregard what follows. If he was positioned in axial alignment, even 10 meters away and behind a wall or door - then we can suggest that positron annihilation could have been involved in a situation where an axial magnetic field (caused by the high amp heaters) would have aligned reactants for a directed beam. Positron emission can occur with reactants that would have been used by Rossi, including 40K. Most importantly, hydrogen fusing into deuterium release a positron. A photon beam, as compared with a spherical burst could be thousands of times more intense in that axial vector only. A similar thing happens in Cosmology when quasars emit in narrow beams. Many observers are trying to weave the M.O. of the Rossi effect into the Dirac "sea of negative energy" scenario and Don Hotson's epo interpretation of same. This beam scenario would fit into that - and the best part is that positron annihilation happens with two gammas going in opposite directions, so some kind of solenoid magnetic field in the reactor could have focused an intense beam of 512 keV gammas out of either end at startup. This also explains why Levi's positron detector was not picking up anything. As you can see in the video, the detector head is positioned orthogonal to the axis, and the hypothetical beam, if it exists - would be axial... Now, I have to ask again - where was Celani standing, relative to the axis of the reactor on startup? That could be the MAJOR clue that the subject heading promises. Jones
