Well, time to dust off my early edition GUT/CQM hardback, which is from the late nineties and I wonder if it is the oldest of any among active vortex posters.
It is only about 750 pages but a small chunk of the background material was plagiarized. A lame excuse was given for this “oversight” by Randy, but he lied about the extent of it in his mea culpa to HSG. It is more than a “few pages.” Worst of all –following this history – we find that it is in the character of Mills to continue to fail to give proper attribution, even today. He has not mentioned the rich history of water explosion experiments - which led directly to … well … to what he may or may not have to show soon. Graneau et al. or heirs should be upset over this continuing failure to account for the history of the field. BTW here is some recent work from an undergrad at Stanford who may have validate Graneau (or not): http://waterarcresearch.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-data-are-in-explosions-do-s eem-to.html Back to the problem of vanity. Can it be reasonably suspected that one reason the price of these old volumes is so high is that Mills, through an agent - has been paying top dollar to get the old ones off the market, due to the “oversight”? Awkshully, I’d probably sell mine for $700 if it wasn’t so marked up over the years. However, that price will probably go up if there finally is a successful demo from “America’s Newton”. One of the important details which was uncovered in the early days by having this volume handy - and even Mills probably missed it (since it was not mentioned anywhere) was in understanding the reactivity of potassium for f/H – which according to the Table 5.2 has the IP hole at the deep level of enthalpy 81.77 eV … a level of extreme ionization that would almost never be reached in electrolysis; and yet in such fine experiments as those done by Thermacore, substantial gain was seen for an extended period at modest temps - which by the way – Mills almost never acknowledged as being the best proof for his theory for many years. Having said all this – Mills is admittedly a near-genius at the theoretical level, but what he has now (assuming that he can show something valid, this time) could easily have been shown as early as 1995-6 had RM not been trying to cover up the fact that it is basically another form of LENR, and had he taken advantage of the huge Thermacore advances (instead of ignoring them). Vanity. That is almost ancient history but in the big picture...? Was it a missed opportunity that historians will determine essentially allowed OPEC to become trillions of dollars richer, possibly even a missed opportunity that contributed to the US going to war in the Mid-East over oil… (does anyone really think that WMD was anything more than a poor excuse to secure oil, which then led to 9/11 etc, etc ?) Vanity of vanities. An older prophet of Vanity (Mills is younger profit for vanity) said it best: there is no new thing under the sun…. There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after. … guess that is a day early… or a week or two if the demo happens in July… From: James Bowery Actually, he didn't really remove the obstacle. When you go to Blacklight Power's website you would expect the book to appear under the "Publications" tab….It doesn't….Here's the URL for the GUTCP book download: http://www.blacklightpower.com/theory/book/book-download/ Good news for Eric: he doesn’t have to pay $789 for GUTCP. It is available as a free download from the website, like most of Mills’ initial postings. For the 90 journal papers a fee is charged by the journal publishers for reprints. But ten, he has to actually read it. You have removed a significant obstacle to my reading it. Now I will plan to read it as soon as I find the motivation to do so. Eric
