[Vo]:Fiery black hole debate creates cosmological Wild West

Last week famed physicist Stephen Hawking caused an uproar with his
assertion that black holes do not
exist-
at least not as we've defined them for the past 40 years. Rather than
letting nothing, not even light, escape their grasp, Hawking says that this
"point of no return" is a fallacy, and black holes will sometimes let
trapped light back out.

The best I can theorize, as I have shown on my blog is that there is dark
matter(collapsed hydrogen) stringing around the equatorial jet streams
(originating from the solar wind) and overhead in the jet streams,
triggering low pressure "weather" events and decaying all of the time and
releasing gravitational radiation to the Earth.  Somehow the pulsed
microwaves are "energizing" this dark/vacuum, possibly causing it to kink
up and break off (through string interactions) and these smaller loops or
branched strings (low pressure troughs) of vacuum energy are then
accelerating into the Earth around the towers, triggering pressure/seismic
events as well as an increase in mesovortex events and even sinkholes
around the towers as my statistics are showing.  If this is happening it
would also possibly trigger an increase in weakly ionizing background
radiation in the local surroundings around the towers which is ionizing the
dissolved oxygen in the waterways around the towers triggering hypoxia and
oxidative stress.

That is the only way I can tie it all together.  This is only theory, but I
have good statistics on an increase in hypoxia, algae blooms/red tide
around the radar towers in Florida over two years with strong indications
in other States.

I make my income from engineering, I am doing my research for fun so I am
not looking for grant money, you guys have been a great help in trying to
understand what is happening at the atomic/subatomic level

I should have added that the magnetic vector potential is not only small
for chaotic plasmas, but also for expanding or converging spherical
charged plasma shells.  It will only be large in intense, linear flows.

Jones,

You refer to something worth noting, but not the magnetic vector potential.

Ideally in a fusor, the particles converge to a point in the center of
the fusor, but the magnetic field momentum at the center is quite small.

Energy is borrowed from outer convergent spherical shells of electrons or
ions, but that is a scalar coulomb effect - not magnetic vector potential.

BTW the Farnsworth Fusor benefits from "spherical convergence" of ion
vectors.

The vectors are self-focused and not chaotic. 

Farnsworth/ Hirsch found the fusion threshold is lowered by a factor of 4
due to spherical convergence, allowing substantial neutron production at far
lower voltage potential than colliding beams.

I wonder if it is a combination of both, microwaves interacting with the
atmosphere/water vapor and or a discharge into the Earth interacting with
the underground water.

 

 

This is possible. and worth pursuing, especially if grant money is
available. but microwaves would not penetrate very far into the earth, and
shale is deep. There are three different ecosystems which need to be
analyzed.

 

Surprised you did not mention dark matter, and the Mills identification of
this species with fractional hydrogen, which he claims is produced in the
solar corona. It is carried to earth in the solar wind.

 

If RF radiation from Doppler radar is involved somehow, and it seems to be
more than coincidental, based on limited data - then RF could interact with
the atmosphere to nucleate more of the dark-matter arriving from the solar
corona into rain, which then percolates with water down to the shale layer.
This could alter the normal random distribution of f/H.

 

This process would take several years - but there does seem to be several
years of lag time.

 

Have you compared areas with 1) Radar and no shale deposits against 2) areas
with both shale and radar and areas with 3) shale only ?

 

If there was enough data to compare all three, you might make a statistical
case. 

 

Of course, that could require a staff of researchers to put this kind of
data together.

OK, I agree, here are a couple more articles

http://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Oklahoma-Scientist-to-Test-if-Fracking-Causes-Earthquakes.html

The parts I keyed on in addition to the locations clustered around areas
with multiple dopplers, is that many people say they sound more like sonic
booms.

http://billmoyers.com/2014/02/14/is-fracking-causing-earthquakes/

And as quakes increase in frequency, residents of
Oklahoma
 and 
Texas
are
taking notice. More noticeable than the shaking, for many, is the noise
these quakes make: a loud boom, like artillery fire.

I wonder if it is a combination of both, microwaves interacting with the

Re: [Vo]:Velocity dependent model of Coulomb's law

2014-02-15 Thread pagnucco
Eric,

This is a direct consequence of the formula for computing the magnetic
vector potential.  When all particles flow in a narrow channel, in the
same direction, all of their (vector) contributions to the potential are
nearly parallel and are additive.

When they move in random directions, the vector potential is a sum of
random vectors, so destructive interference greatly attenuates it.

Toy examples of a four particle fusor  vs. an arc might look like -

 |
 |  <
 V  <
 ---> <---
 ^
 |
 |
The fusor will only produce relatively small magnetic vector fields.

Yes, I think your diagram does convey a correct concept for a plasma arc
impacting an +ion rich surface.  The impacting electrons will acquire
extra energy from the momentum store in the magnetic field.

and I posted my statistics a month ago.

I also believe p-Values are only a tool and do not identify cause, they
just imply a relationship, which I was seeing visually.

Oklahoma City is Home to the National Weather Research Center and along
with the air force base has ~ 9 overlapping microwave radars within a
50-100 mile radius (range on dopplers is approx. 150 miles)

I have developed a very bad feeling a microwave radars over the past 6
months, especially when 3 or 4 are overlapped.

This sounds most consistent with current expectations of the two

against the conclusion of the earlier-mentioned experiment:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faster-than-light#Apparent_FTL_propagation_of_static_field_effects

This same page gives examples of some rates that are observed that are
faster than light, including closing speeds (the rate at which two bodies
close in on one another) and phase and group velocities.

The propagation of an electrostatic field along an entrainment of charged
particles gives more the sense of the propagation of a phase or group than
of a particle itself, whose velocity is limited by *c.*

Yes, they have made great progress in recent years improving the spectrum

about half the service life. Their construction uses borosilcate glass with a

When the MFMP says they are ready to claim they've sufficient signal to
noise and sufficient replicability, they will be in a position to submit
that experimental protocol to a judging board along with funds to support
replication by those skilled in the art as agreed by the judging board and

The question is whether it is worthwhile attempting to raise money for the

For the reasons Randy Wuller gives, we can't expect the X-Prize foundation

We feel we are close, but despite repeated signs of upto 12.5% excess heat

Actually there is an explanation for vinyl sounding different.  There
is a phase smearing which occurs in the differentiation of the needle

Re: [Vo]:Velocity dependent model of Coulomb's law

2014-02-15 Thread pagnucco
Nigel,

The collision of two oppositely charged particles can be far more
energetic when they collide within a current than in isolation.  How much
more depends on the current strength/density and particles' location.

The particles borrow field momentum from the magnetic vector
potential(A) the current collectively creates.  For example, see -

'(Section 21–3) Two kinds of momentum'
The Feynman Lectures on Physics Vol. III Ch. 21
http://www.feynmanlectures.info/docroot/III_21.html

If the two particles collide with nearly the same momentum (in the lab
frame), suddenly they see an almost immediate drop in the magnetic
vector potential which generates an additional huge electric field(E)
gradient propelling the particles into each other, i.e., see Feynman's

  (Equation 21-16) E = -dA/dt

As Feynman notes:
 "That electric field is enormous if the flux is changing rapidly, and
  it gives a force on the particle. The force is the charge times the
  electric field, and so during the build up of the flux the particle
  obtains a total impulse (that is, a change in mv) equal to −qA. In
  other words, if you suddenly turn on a vector potential at a charge,
  this charge immediately picks up an mv-momentum equal to −qA."

If you are interested in how the vector potential stores momentum, sse-
  "Thoughts on the Magnetic Vector Potential"
  http://abacus.bates.edu/~msemon/thoughts.pdf

The extra energy picked up by light particles like electrons and positrons
will be far higher than by much heavier protons and nuclei.

(Another different approach to calculating the extra energy is via
 the Darwin Hamiltonian/Lagrangian.)

This effect is not very significant in chaotic plasmas, such as in a
Farnworth fusor device since there is too much field cancellation due to
random motion.  It can be very large for plasma arc filaments, though.

Dyslexic correction of previous post: "In contrast, Ne-10
does not keep boron from having an isotope at 10." This should be "In
contrast, B-10 does not keep neon from having an isotope at 20."  

And yes, there are other reasons why helium has special
stability in the periodic table, so this is not a particularly strong
metaphor - but it does suggest that there are indeed forbidden isotopes at a
few specific atomic mass levels - which are in effect "reserved" by other
elements, such as in the case of He-4 which keeps Be-8 from stability.

If there were not an LENR connection, this would be the end
of the story but there is more. For instance wrt the Rossi effect, 100% of
cobalt is amu 59 which seems to be "reserved" by cobalt (element 27).

IOW - this isotopic level - amu 59 - belongs to cobalt, even
though Co is to the left of nickel in the PT, which is element 28... and
nickel's main isotope is Ni-58 - which is one of the few instances in nature
where a lighter amu element follows a heaver one (as the main isotope). 

Notably, Ni-59 decay is gammaless. However, this is not the
nickel Mossbauer isotope which is Ni-61. 
Nickel seems so commonplace, at first ... so few-cents-worth
- yet this element has 7 unusually strong physical anomalies, which could
relate to LENR and in comparison with other metals is an oddball. 
The 7 anomalies. It is ferromagnetic, has a Mossbauer
isotope, has the heaviest stable isotope (as a % of the most common isotope
Ni-58 vs Ni-64), is lower amu than the next lower mass z (the most common
isotope is lower amu than Co), has the highest innate stability (Ni-62 has
highest binding energy per nucleon of any known nuclide 8.7945 MeV), has an
unstable isotope with gammaless decay - and has two adjoining Rydberg levels
in electron orbitals. Wow. Could this all be coincidental?

What's in a name? The German word "nickel" came from "Old
Nick" which was a name for the devil; and the reasons for that historic
association are arcane ... but in the modern day context of LENR, where the
devil is in the details - let's just say nickel may be our Maxwell's demon.

Probably not. Compact fluorescent (CFL) are cheaper per unit cost than
incandescent lights. The initial sale price is higher, but the cost is
cheaper over the life of the bulb because they last so long. LED lights are
rated to last 20 years, and some come with lifetime guarantees, meaning as
long as you own it, they will replace it. The lifetimes are 50,000 hours
for an LED and 1,200 hours for an incandescent. The LED cost is $36 versus
$1.25, so it is marginally cheaper over a lifetime. CFL cost $4 and last
10,000 hours so they are much cheaper. See:

http://eartheasy.com/live_led_bulbs_comparison.html

For commercial, office or industrial applications, CFL and LED lights are
far cheaper for another reason. They are replaced much less often.
Replacing one usually calls for a maintenance person to bring a ladder and
spend several minutes replacing the bulb and disrupting operations. That
ends up costing more than the bulb.

Obviously, with the cost of today's electricity both CFL and LED lights
save a tremendous amount of money for energy. Per 50,000 hours of
illumination, taking into account the unit cost of the bulbs, they cost
about $88 versus $353 for incandescent lights. Using incandescent lights is
economic lunacy. Even with cold fusion it would be crazy, especially in
commercial apps.

Re: [Vo]:Velocity dependent model of Coulomb's law

2014-02-15 Thread ChemE Stewart
Jones,

Thanks for the lead in, here is some more weird thoughts/doppler stuff I
have been blogging.

I think gravity is a type of quantum vacuum entanglement that decays space
between all of these vacuum branes in the universe (like our Sun's core and
the Earth core).  Vacuum is streaming between branes (in our solar wind),
decaying our 3 dimensions as well as itself is decaying through hawking
radiation (full spectrum, very weak). It pops back out as protons in the
solar wind as it decays, creating water vapor wherever it encounters
oxygen, like in our atmosphere:

http://phys.org/news/2014-01-solar-space-source-laboratory.html

I think the Earth core and possible the Sun are massive 6-D torroidal
vacuum cores. It is responsible for our weakly ionizing radiation
background on Earth, which increases during storms.  The weather unfolding
along jet streams is really the inflation phase of this vacuum decaying
from high energies to low energy "clouds" in our atmosphere, creating more
water vapor.  It pulls a vacuum in our gaseous atmosphere, creating low
pressure disturbances.

That is the reason Doppler Radar is able to detect the "weather"  due to
the vacuum in our atmosphere, which forms strings and particles and is
bending it and lensing it.  Which is unfortunate for us humans because I
think we are all getting "vacuum formed"  and this stuff is redirecting and
attenuating doppler microwave radiation back to Earth around the radar
towers, creating chronic hypoxic conditions in waterways(ionizing dissolved
oxygen from the water) killing fish and triggering algae blooms and in
bloodstreams creating chronic hypoxic conditions in biology triggering an
increase in autism, alzheimers and some cancers. Our Earth brane and human
brains are becoming hypoxic in areas around radar towers. I have statistics
on both now.

concluded the atmosphere is triggering many of them through a local
increase in ionizing vacuum energy discharge (protons act like an
acid-proton donor) during storms and such, which is increased around the
overlappng doppler radar towers.  The eight corvettes that just plummeted
into a sinkhole in Kentucky happened to be in an atrium with a glass
ceiling directly above where the sinkhole opened and within 50 miles of 3
or 4 high powered radars. I think metal conducts this stuff (think st.
elmos fire) but that it penetrates through most organic stuff.

I have also concluded many of the mirages that humans see over water,
including magnified ships over the ocean are actually gravitational lensing
and string lensing, which is also bending the doppler EMR at the same time.

In other words guys, we reside in a vacuum with a little bit of air and
water vapor surrounding us.  We reside on the crust from a LENR decaying
Earth core brane, which suffers chronic indigestion, else we would all be
sucked in.

Best I can figure and yes it/I am strange.

More fully,

Charge consists of a basic charge and  through the relative motion other
charges the basic charge can increase or decrease.

Nigel,
You are correct. I failed to remember that each charge "sees" a changing
electric field due to the motion of the other charge, and if the electric
field is changing this generates a changing magnetic field which generates
a force.

However, my excursion into velocity dependent coulomb forces and your
criticism has brought clarity to my intuition:

Charge is a relative to motion.

[Vo]:The Rossi effect as an Inverted Mossbauer Effect

2014-02-15 Thread Jones Beene
The possibility of an "inverse (or reverse) Mossbauer effect" comes up from
time to time in LENR. The key concepts are "recoilless nuclear resonance"
and FRET, which is type of superradiant fluorescence. We have discussed FRET
for many years on vortex, since it is strongly correlated to nanoscale
geometry and that was even before we knew about SPP (surface plasmon
polaritons). In effect, FRET connects SPP to LENR via an Inverted Mossbauer
Effect. 

Heck, you can impress friends and confuse enemies with this mantra
SPP+FRET=LENR 
(If it were possible to squeeze those letters onto a vanity plate, it would
be worth it).

This is a complex hypothesis going back to the shock wave of P&F, and which
has some relevance to the broader subject of "gammaless" emission. The first
time I heard of it was circa 1990 in an article by Scott Chubb. Another name
associated with this niche is Kozima, who labeled lithium to beryllium as a
GLR (or gammaless reaction) like an Inverted Mossbauer Effect.

Of keen interest in bringing all of this up now, 24 years later, is that
Ni-61 and K-40, both of which are assumed to be involved in the Rossi effect
- are Mossbauer isotopes. And they are more accurately called gammaless
(GLR) than was beryllium.

To backtrack: Chubb apparently got the idea from Cockcroft and Walton's
experiments in the early 1930s which was the first reported accelerator
driven nuclear reaction, and it involved Lithium bombarded with protons. The
reaction proceeds via "excited Be-8." Two alphas are seen in the ash and
with far less peak photon radiation than expected. However, lots of x-rays
are seen, since the alphas are hot, as well as the protons. To the modern
day cynic, trying to understand the Rossi effect - this 80+ year old
experiment is actually better proof against the idea of a gammaless reaction
- than for it.

Of note. In modern usage there is no consensus for a definition
distinguishing X-rays and gamma rays. The older and common practice in
physics is to distinguish between the two types of radiation based on their
source: X-rays being emitted by electrons and gamma being emitted by the
nucleus. This definition has several problems, since many times the method
of generation is not known, and hard x-rays can be stronger than many
gammas. In science - one should never be required to define an important
parameter based on its source - when only its geometry (or energy content)
is overriding.

Therefore the modern alternative is to distinguish X-rays from gamma
radiation on the basis of wavelength or energy, but in terms of GLR - we are
most interested in detectability. The limit of detectability with a thick
reactor is generally low keV, and that depends on the Boltzmann tail of the
energy distribution, since low keV from a coherent source will not penetrate
thick stainless. 

A useful value for LENR is to define "gammaless" as radiation lower than 4
keV. If it is in that range it will never be a problem to shield cheaply -
and will not be a negative feature that makes LENR subject to regulation by
the NRC.

Anyway, moving on - beryllium is a light metal which "should have" an
isotope with amu of 8 but it does not. Thus the extremely strong gamma of
normal fusion into helium seems to be somehow avoided if Be-8 is formed
(since it is another anomaly itself) but if we want to connect that to
deuterium and no lithium - this involves a four body reaction with the
energy carried away by two alphas and no strong gamma. Elements which are
higher and lower in mass than beryllium have 1:1 ratios of protons and
neutrons but not beryllium - and this is due to the remarkable stability and
other properties of helium-4, which in effect "forbids" Be-8. In contrast,
Ne-10 does not keep boron from having an isotope at 10.

Bottom line is that in describing Pd-D, "excited Be-8" became somewhat of a
metaphor for GLR ... but that connection was a mistake IMO since this
reaction is far from gammaless (in the sense of detectability) such as in
the Rossi effect. Massive bremsstrahlung radiation is  seen with "excited
Be-8" and it makes a poor metaphor.

This has been the preamble for moving onto the Rossi effect, as a possible
versions of an "inverted Mossbauer effect." For it to be a similar metaphor,
we must find the "key" or the forbidden element - which would be the "Be-8
of the Rossi effect". Is it Ni-59 ?

Several other posts will be needed. Stay tuned or set your spam filter
accordingly.

RE: [Vo]:Velocity dependent model of Coulomb's law

2014-02-15 Thread Jones Beene
 

From: John Berry 

 

It would make sense, a Doppler like effect is very reasonable with electric
fields.

Now if this is so, it is very possible that gravity could be explained this
way.

 

Since Stewart is stuck in the ice, he may be delayed with his Doppler radar
metaphor. So here is another slant on it. Since gravity already produces its
own Doppler shift (we call it redshift), it would be an interesting exercise
to look at this possibility in extra dimensions. that is of gravity itself
being the 4-space relic of a 3-space electric field - which is of course,
another way to look at electrogravity.

 

The Doppler shift is the frequency shift caused by relative motion, but the
gravitational version - which is redshift - does not involve apparent motion
in 3-space, but it does if you consider to the effect as being over billions
of years. IOW the relative motion is in hidden in spacetime. Because clocks
in a strong gravitational field tick slower - the effect is similar to light
leaving the surface of a strong field which will gradually have its
frequency extended so that the signal (light spectra) arrives at a longer
wavelength. 

 

You can also think of gravitational redshift on light as photons losing
energy as they work their out of the strong gravitational field but it is no
different than if it was a strong electric field, other than that time must
be considered. For whatever reason, the Finn's seem to mull over these
things more than most of us (probably the long winters)

Re: [Vo]:tentative evidence that a coulomb field propagates rigidly

2014-02-15 Thread fznidarsic
I produced something like that from my model.  My model taken to the extreme 
states that electrons are rigid.  One of my theorems is,  "Electrons do not 
bounce."  They cannot bounce their energy away and all wind up in the lowest 
energy state.  This is the root cause of Fermi statistics.  


The quantum behavior of the electron can be explained by this interaction.  
They interact through a process of elastic failure.   Elastic failure is a 
classical property.  Electrons don't bounce and interact through a process of 
elastic failure; sort of like a thrown egg.
Impedance matched systems do not bounce.  Electrons propagate through channels 
of matching impedance.  The quantification of the velocity of the process 
(1,094,000 meters per second) produced the quantum condition.


That's what I got out of cold fusion.

Re: [Vo]:Velocity dependent model of Coulomb's law

2014-02-15 Thread David Roberson
Once I made a calculation of the attraction between two charged particles that 
are moving together at a constant velocity relative to my frame of reference.  
I was pleasantly surprised to find that as the velocity of the two charges 
approached the speed of light, a perfect balance between the electric force and 
the magnetic force was achieved.  This implied that there would be precisely 
zero electromagnetic force between the two and hence no acceleration either 
together or apart at the speed of light.  This matches the special theory of 
relativity since at light speed the time dilation reaches infinity for the 
objects being viewed.

Since their time was slowed down to zero, they should not be seen as 
accelerating towards or away from each other.
