To ignite a fuel aliquot only 5J is needed ( 5V @10,000 Amps). That is another curious value which keeps turning up – the 10,000 amps, since the seam welder is essentially a one turn 10,000 amp magnetic field… and also to John’s interview with Brian Ahern, which this thread will segue to, as soon as the old espresso machine does it daily duty. Nanomagnetism is the name of the game. Earlier this month, a thread came up to explore the coincidence of 10,000 amp turns showing up in various ways. The evidence was thin but interesting. This latest from Mills adds another datum to that observation. http://www.mail-archive.com/vortex-l%40eskimo.com/msg94642.html The observation was inspired by the Rossi "HotCat" image showing the resistance wiring scheme, and the realization that the electrical current in that case, even though it is used for heating, and even though it is not applied constantly- has an equivalent amp-turn property of about 10,000. http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2012-09/14/cold-fusion/viewgallery/290598 … which can be estimated from the image - if one includes the turns around the wire axis at 10 amps input – but that arrangement cannot be modeled as a solenoid. The resultant magnetic field would be complex, probably helical and only a few hundred gauss. Same with the SunCell. Still, the 10,000 amp-turns is worth remembering since Letts/Cravens found that LENR benefits from modest fields of a few hundred gauss, and not higher. Emphasis on “modest field” not high field. As fate would have it, this value turned up recently as a "magic rating" in another field where the intent was simply to magnetize steel pipe. IOW to induce a permanent field in a ferromagnetic material, the rule of thumb is that 10,000 amp-turns will do the job – but less that that is iffy. Still… merely a coincidence … for those who believe that some coincidences are meaningless.
