Re: [Vo]:MFMP interviews spokesman from WILLIAMSON

2014-10-26 Thread Robert Dorr


I read the report you linked to. Their main argument is that CCDs 
response at the temperature the ecat is operating at has a low 
reaction curve, i.e. the reaction to temperature change flattens out 
so it's harder to get an accurate reading with a change in 
temperature. The method that Williamson is using is a Spot 
Pyrometer which uses emissivity or for a better word reflectance, 
that's why they are concerned with the transparency of the object 
they are measuring at IR wavelengths. Williamson says they have 
looked at alumina at various temperatures and have included it's 
varying emissivity into an algorithm to give accurate temperature 
readings. Since alumina is opaque at the temperature of the ecat and 
the wavelengths they were measuring in the Lugano report, were of 
between 7.5u and 13u, they chose the appropriate IR cameras. The only 
thing that someone might have a question with in regards to the IR 
cameras and Rossi's ecat is, Were the cameras calibrated properly?, 
and they say on page 4 of the report that the cameras were calibrated 
by the respective manufacturers laboratories.

In any case, their spot pyrometer is most likely more accurate.

As to whether a spot pyrometer is more accurate than an IR camera, I 
think depends on their use. For small area or pin point measurement I 
agree that a spot pyrometer may be more accurate, but for large or 
gross measurement I think the IR camera would be just as accurate if 
not more so. I think that there is no problem using the IR cameras 
for accurate measurement of the temperature of the Rossi ecat as long 
as the cameras were calibrated properly.

RE: [Vo]:A new type of laser is born?

2014-10-26 Thread Jones Beene
Bob,

The overwhelming probability is that the Levi sample was salted - which is
to say that it was compromised by the addition of a pure isotope. Show me
one US nuclear physicist who would believe otherwise - and fully back Rossi
on the issue of in situ manufacture of pure (99.3%) Ni62. 

I'm convinced that there are none who will back this specific result. The
overwhelming probability is that the sample was compromised. The only
justification for doing this, expressed by a few here - is that Rossi should
be allowed to protect a trade secret and/or to confuse competitors, since he
did not have to present the results at all.

Which of course casts doubt all of the other conclusions, even if one
believes he had the right to do that - since it renders the entire paper,
including the excess heat, as little more that non-scientific crap. At best,
the justification is lame, if not ridiculous.

This is further proved by Rossi's own admission on his blog - to purchasing
pure isotopes. According to Rossi, using pure isotopes is how he determined
what works and what doesn't. It turns out that commercially available Ni62
is the same percentage enrichment as what was found in the ash. We know
Rossi had in his possession the pure isotope and the opportunity, so what
else does it take?

Since actual deceit was committed in this experiment - as evidenced by the
appearance  of pure isotope, and since 3-body reactions are extraordinarily
rare (millions of times less likely than 2-body) it probably makes no sense
to try to justify a false result with an improbable 3-body reaction, simply
to try to salvage some value from an experiment that has become diminished
by an Inventors desire to confuse potential competitors.

[Vo]:Deconstructing Rossi

2014-10-26 Thread Jones Beene
Vorticians.

 

We have played the deconstructing Rossi game before on vortex - which is
to say, trying to look for hidden motives - which could have been there all
along, but the overall scenario has been intentionally clouded by conduct
which is puzzling at best, and self-destructive at worst.

 

Here is a surprising picture of the hidden motives of Rossi - which fits the
current facts of the E-Cat, with greater emphasis on the early work and less
on the recent boondoggle. It may make him sound more like a genius than a
scoundrel, and he is certainly a bit of both. This is supposition based on
believing some of Rossi-speak, but not all of it.

 

First, realize that the around the time of Big Blue in Bologna - the
shipping crate loaded with E-Cats, there was actually better evidence for
higher COP than at present. Why would any sane Inventor go from a more
robust experiment to a less robust version - other than to confuse and to
buy  time? 

 

Thus, here is a deconstruction of Rossi, which makes him look better than he
deserves, but answers all of the outstanding questions succinctly.

 

1)  The HotCat in the Levi report was never intended to be anything
other than a planned deception. There is little or no gain. It is nothing
but a red herring.

 

2)  The low temperature E-Cat is the focus of research and always has
been.

 

3)  The so-called megawatt unit is actually NOW a commercial product,
purpose-designed for space-heating to serve the Asian market - particularly
northern China

 

4)  This is a billion dollar market, currently being served by burning
coal which is killing the population with it toxicity in the winter months.

 

5)  The second iteration of the Blue Box for China will contain about
100+ low temp E-Cat sub-units, each with average COP of about 2, but staged
in such a way that the net COP is infinite (which is simple to do, when they
can be heat-triggered).

 

6)  The Blue Box will be pre-fueled to provide 6 months of winter-time
heat, after which it will be replaced (swapped out) for the next season. It
is strictly a thermal device with too low a temperature for electrical
conversion.

 

7)  The average heat availability will probably be in the range of 500
kW-thermal per hour range with a 4000 hour lifetime at 200 C. This is to be
used purely for space heating. 

 

8)  The technology is and always has been derived from Thermacore and
BLP but that is not a concern for the Chinese market. It is completely
non-nuclear.

9)  In China, the cost for this heat will actually be considerably more
than for the coal which it replaces, but air pollution is such a strong
concern there over there that as many 10,000 of the Blue Boxes will be
required for Beijing alone. They would like to start shipping soon.

 

10)   It should be no surprise to learn that the Chinese partner is gearing
up for full production now, with commercial product to be available this
winter.

 

11)   There is almost no real market in the USA for this device - as natural
gas is cheap, clean and the supply is growing, due to advances in fracking.
And no one wants litigation from BLP so this is an Asia-only product
(northern Europe may depend on whether Russia is a credible natural gas
supplier)

 

12)   The entire scenario of the HotCat can now be seen as nothing more than
a brilliant deception- which was positioned only to give a year or two of
extra time for Rossi. With significant cash flow to come in from China,
Rossi will try to find a way to make what is essentially the technology of
Randell Mills available in the USA.

 

With apologies to Harry Block. (BTW - my spell checker wants to substitute
morticians for vorticians which I find amusing in light of what is
really an autopsy of a dead report)

This conjecture aligns with Occham's Razor.  If it's true, Rossi has
painted himself into a corner.  The only real value of the TIP report
is its use towards gaining a patent.  I have no doubt that the patent
examiners would demand to do their own isotope testing, and it would
either blow Rossi out of the water or give him pole position in the
upcoming patent wars.

Hi Jones,

 

As always, I have learned to appreciate the creativeness of your conjecture.
I have to admit, some of your speculation actually comes across to me as
plausible... in a fashion. 

 

I noticed you came up with 12 deconstructions. Personally, I think that's
an awful lot of conjecture to base your deconstructions of the enigma we all
know as Rossi. Too many IMO. Consider the house of cards metaphor. Pull out
too many cards and what happens to the rest of the elaborate construction?

 

FWIW, I would recommend stepping away from the assembled deconstruction for
just a spell. Don't worry, it's not going anywhere. Just sleep on it.

 

It's been my experience that after I engage in creative conjecture of this
nature where I have convinced myself that my speculations are spot-on -
after a good night's rest I often notice that I become less impressed with
the contents of whoever wrote such conjecture the next day.

Re: [Vo]:questions on McKubre cells and AC component

2014-10-26 Thread David Roberson
The total instantaneous power into the system can be calculated by taking the 
instantaneous source voltage and multiplying it by the instantaneous source 
current.  It does not matter whether you want to call it AC or DC since this is 
the total that is being delivered.  There is no more, regardless of how the 
load changes resistance.

If you then integrate the instantaneous power over the time period of interest, 
you get the total energy delivered by that source.  The requirement is that you 
must accurately measure the voltage and current waveforms during the period of 
interest.

If someone can show that the measuring system used by McKubre was not capable 
of following the waveforms then they might have a valid point.  I suspect the 
Mike knew how to make these measurements in an accurate manner.  The skeptics 
need to demonstrate otherwise.

Subject: [Vo]:questions on McKubre cells and AC component



Barry Kort on Dr bob blog reported challenging critiques of McKubre experiments



http://www.drboblog.com/cbs-60-minutes-on-cold-fusion/#comment-37932



maybe some already have the debunking, the correction... i imagien it is 
addressed:







About a year after CBS 60 Minutes aired their episode on Cold Fusion, I 
followed up with Rob Duncan to explore Richard Garwin’s thesis that McKubre was 
measuring the input electric power incorrectly.
It turns out that McKubre was reckoning only the DC power going into his cells, 
and assuming (for arcane technical reasons) there could not be any AC power 
going in, and therefore he didn’t need to measure or include any AC power term 
in his energy budget model.
Together with several other people, I helped work out a model for the omitted 
AC power term in McKubre’s experimental design. Our model showed that there was 
measurable and significant AC power, arising from the fluctuations in ohmic 
resistance as bubbles formed and sloughed off the surface of the palladium 
electrodes. Our model jibed with both the qualitative and quantitative evidence 
from McKubre’s reports:
1) McKubre (and others) noted that the excess heat only appeared after the 
palladium lattice was fully loaded. And that’s precisely when the Faradaic 
current no longer charges up the lattice, but begins producing gas bubbles on 
the surfaces of the electrodes.
2) The excess heat in McKubre’s cells was only apparent, significant, and 
sizable when the Faradaic drive current was elevated to dramatically high 
levels, thereby increasing the rate at which bubbles were forming and sloughing 
off the electrodes.
3) The effect was enhanced if the surface of the electrodes was rough rather 
than polished smooth, so that larger bubbles could form and cling to the rough 
surface before sloughing off, thereby alternately occluding and exposing 
somewhat larger fractions of surface area for each bubble.
The time-varying resistance arising from the bubbles forming and sloughing off 
the surface of the electrodes — after the cell was fully loaded, enhanced by 
elevated Faradaic drive currents and further enhanced by a rough electrode 
surface — produced measurable and significant AC noise power into the energy 
budget model that went as the square of the magnitude of the fluctuations in 
the cell resistance.
To a first approximation, a 17% fluctuation in resistance would nominally 
produce a 3% increase in power, over and above the baseline DC power term. 
Garwin and Lewis had found that McKubre’s cells were producing about 3% more 
heat than could be accounted for with his energy measurements, where McKubre 
was reckoning only the DC power going into his cells, and (incorrectly) 
assuming there was no AC power that needed to be measured or included in his 
energy budget model.
I suggest slapping an audio VU meter across McKubre’s cell to measure the AC 
burst noise from the fluctuating resistance. Alternatively use one of McKubre’s 
constant current power supplies to drive an old style desk telephone with a 
carbon button microphone. I predict the handset will still function: if you 
blow into the mouthpiece, you’ll hear it in the earpiece, thereby proving the 
reality of an AC audio signal riding on top of the DC current.

of tree bark shavings.
Real thinkers use chain saws and portable lumber mills to build their houses.

 This conjecture aligns with Occham's Razor.  If it's true, Rossi has
 painted himself into a corner.

  Bob,
 
  The overwhelming probability is that the Levi sample was salted - which
  is
  to say that it was compromised by the addition of a pure isotope. Show me
  one US nuclear physicist who would believe otherwise - and fully back Rossi
  on the issue of in situ manufacture of pure (99.3%) Ni62.

  I believe that a continuous neutron-exchange reaction cycle is taking
  place
  between lithium and nickel, which includes the following reactions:

Bayes' theorem and plain old intuition aren't that bad, either. ;)

2014-10-26 Thread David Roberson
The actual measurement that I am interesting in is the amount of power being 
radiated and convected away from the device.  If the effective temperature can 
be manipulated by some process that results in less than expected power 
emission, then we are being fooled.  That is the root of my reservations.

I have little doubt that excess power is being generated internally by the ECAT 
core, but an accurate accounting of that power eludes me thus far.  The earlier 
version of the ECAT with the black painted surface appears to be subject to 
less error in these important calculations.  It is unfortunate that the latest 
version remains so difficult to verify.

Use both as a cross check.

As to whether a spot pyrometer is more accurate than an IR camera, Ithink 
depends on their use. For small area or pin point measurement Iagree that a 
spot pyrometer may be more accurate, but for large or grossmeasurement I think 
the IR camera would be just as accurate if not moreso. I think that there is no 
problem using the IR cameras for accuratemeasurement of the temperature of the 
Rossi ecat as long as the cameraswere calibrated properly.

But it's still not clear whether they should use 8-14u or 2.5u 

In any case, their spot pyrometer is most likely more accurate.
