MAGNETS - importance of shape.

[Grimer]

In a recent e-mail from my colleague, Nigel Clayton, he drew 
my attention to a reference in Mark Buchanan's UBIQUITY to 
the importance of magnetic shape.


Nigel writes, 

 ==
 "A particular point he makes (on page 81) reminded 
 me of the concrete compressive stress-strain tests.  
 In relation to magnetism, he says that only two 
 things matter:  the basic physical (external) dimension 
 of the thing in question and the general shape of its 
 elements.  The tests I did in later years also showed 
 that the value of the power depended upon the shape 
 of the specimen.  I tended to ignore this, but it is 
 clearly important."
 ==

The specific passage from UBIQUITY is,
 
 ==
 page 81, 3rd paragraph

 "In studying the critical numbers that pop up in the 
 critical states for different phase transitions, 
 Kandanoff found that the basic physical dimension of 
 the thing in question, of the very space in which it 
 lives, is one of the factors that matters."

Mark Buchanan
 ==

I can see the reason why this might point us in the right 
direction for the goal of extracting  energy from the magnetic 
atmosphere.

The essence of Carnot is cycling between two power curves, 
more specifically in the case of Carnot the isothermal and 
the adiabatic power curves.

If different shaped magnets (short and fat, tall and thin) 
give rise to different shaped fluxes (flows), in effect 
different power curves, then by cycling between them one 
might be able to tap ZPE. This is the kind of exploration 
where the "garage experimenter" is likely to come up with 
the answer long before the theoreticians fully understand 
how and why it works.

My question therefore is, have experimenters systematically
investigated the effect of combining powerful magnets of 
different shapes in a variety of different configurations? 
If not, why not?

One needs to remember from the history of empirical research
that often success is only achieved after exhaustive 
experimentation since one is groping around, if not 
completely blind, at least very optically challenged.

I did not mean to imply that this is a rational goal! Some of Bin Laden's 
other goals are reasonable, however, and even desirable to all parties. 
Also, I did not mean to imply (and the author did not say) that a technical 
solution will fix all the problems. It is an essential part of the overall 
solution. The author lists other essential steps, such as killing Bin Laden.

The author thinks that solving the energy crisis will call for great 
sacrifices, tough choices, and unavoidable environmental degradation. I 
have never understood this point of view. We can solve the problem by 
making machines more efficient and by eliminating traffic jams and other 
annoying and unnecessary nuisances. We save money overall. Why should this 
be considered a sacrifice? Every step required to solve the energy crisis 
would also improve the quality of life. Most would save more money than 
they cost. No one calls it a "sacrifice" when we improve elevators, 
Internet routers, steel mills or toothbrushes. These are rightly considered 
advantageous investments. If we ever do get around to solving the energy 
crisis, people will later wonder what took so long, and why so many pundits 
thought it was going to be difficult, and why people made such a big deal 
about it.

Some conservatives oppose conservation because they say it will cost too 
much money, and call for too much sacrifice. Oddly enough, some left-wing 
people agree, but they support conservation for these very same reasons! 
They want people to make sacrifices, and pull together. They want to spend 
more money to "create jobs." They feel the sacrifices will ennoble our 
citizens, and teach values and the importance of community. Pres. Carter 
felt that using lots of energy is a form of moral turpitude, and there 
something ennobling about wearing a sweater. Vice President Mondale thought 
these were crackpot notions, and I agree. Using lots of energy is only a 
bad thing insofar as it causes pollution and drives up the price of fuel so 
that poor people cannot get enough.

There is nothing "ennobling" or desirable about being cold in winter or hot 
in summer, unless it is voluntary, such as when you are camping, hiking, on 
the beach, or practicing Zen Buddhist meditation at 5 a.m. on an open 
veranda in freezing weather. An involuntary lack of energy just makes 
people miserable, crabbed and nasty, like traffic jams or athlete's foot.

On the other hand, I must admit that when you are caught in freezing rain 
while riding a bicycle five miles from home, even though it is nasty it 
does give you a wide-awake sense of being *alive* -- being here and now, 
and confronting vivid reality. Some veterans say they never felt so alive 
as when they were in combat, and all the years after the war they felt as 
if they were "only marking time." People certainly felt a sense of 
community and fellowship after the 9/11 attacks. Still, we do not want wars 
or terrorist attacks just because they make us feel a sense of vitality.

The same goes for noble political battles for things like racial equality, 
academic freedom, or cold fusion funding. I suppose these fights give us a 
sense purpose, and the quixotic thrill of fighting dragons. If we succeed 
with CF it will be a lifelong source of pride. But I would much rather not 
have to make this fight in the first place! It would have been far better 
if researchers have done their jobs in 1989 and if we now had prototype 
cold fusion powered automobiles.

"UTC" is not a real abbreviation; it is a variant of Universal Time, abbreviated UT, 
and has a modifier C (for "coordinated") appended to it just like other variants of 
UT. It may be regarded as a compromise between the English abbreviation "CUT" and the

Comments on Teleportation Devices & Tesla

[Baronvolsung]

Subj:   Comments on Teleportation Devices & Tesla   
Date:   7/27/04 10:50:51 AM Pacific Daylight Time   

Most of the quantized particles that make up our body and materials such as metal space ships are simply rolled up vortex energy waves which when uncoiled become pure light waves to allow for photonic teleportation.  We only need to devise a mechanism to uncoil the quantum particles that represent our body and a metal space ship to teleport and this is what Tesla did with his resonance capacitor, flat coil, and principle of synchronization when he beamed energy from one place to another, he essentially uncoiled energy into neutrinos which are neutral and pass through most substances.  If we can create a tesla energy beam device which can resonate with the quantum particles of the human body and map the energy beam particles on a computer, we can dematerialize a person or object into a pure neutrino energy beam and materialize them at another receiver point.  
 
It is also possible to naturally teleport much like a Unicorn or Leprachuan by the same above mechanism, whereby we use our mind in meditation and movement such as tai chi to uncoil the energies in our bodies to teleport.  Most of us cannot teleport naturally due to energy blockages from the environment created by technological noise pollution and mind control. 
 
Nikola Tesla used  flat spiral coils in reverse, and capacitors in resonance, with the condition of synchronisation to capture neutrinos and materialize them into useable energy: 

" As quoted from Konstantine Meyl, Scalar Waves, Pg. 207: 

The answer of the potential vortex theory could turn out as follows: 
If at the transition of the one wire to the wireless transmission the ring-like vortices is purloined the guiding wire the vortices immediately begin to turn around each other, as is observable for flow-technical ring-like vortices.  In this way the ring-like vortex the next moment shows it inside.  If it before as an electron vortex (fig. 4.3), then it now shows as positron, if it was negatively charged, then it now is positively charged. Following it oscillates back again, etc.   Wit that the ring-like vortex on the average has no measurable charge and no mass, because it alternately forms matter and antimatter.  Without interaction it has an enormous ability of penetration. In physics such particles are called neutrinos. 

Tesla thus had, apart from his transmitted energy wave, which turned out to be neutrino radiation, by chance also caught neutrinos which oscillated synchronously. 
According to the actual level of knowledge do neutrinos penetrate the earth and appear also on the night side.  The order of magnitude in every second amounts to approx. 66 billion neutrinos per square centimeter.  It is a true bombardment.  If we could be able to collect and convert all neutrinos, the won energy would be entirely sufficient to cover the need for energy of the world population (approx. 27 W/m^2).  We merely have to materialize them, thus give them mass, charge, and the necessary localization. Tesla was able to do that experimentally!  Let's record: 

The ring like vortices, which Telsa with his transmitter has sent on a journey as electrons with an open vortex center, are neutrinos (fig 7.12).  Telsa requests that transmitter and reciever operate in resonance, thus with the same frequency. Under this condition the receiver collects in all oscillating vortices, so that non one is lost. 

If the neutrinos for instance are just positively charged, when leaving the transmitter electrode, then an electromagnetic force of attraction takes place, if the receiver electrode at the same time is negatively charged.  The required operation with the same frequency and opposite phase guarantees that also the next moment, if both, the neutrino and the receiver have changed their polarity, the electromagnetic attraction is preserved. 

It is obvious that strange neutrinos which fly past and by chance oscillate synchronously are as well attracted.  In that way the power collected in the receiver capacitor will increase further and degrees of effectiveness of over 100% are obtainable.  Telsa discharges the receiver capacitor timed with the frequency of resonance (fig. 9.9)  and points to the difficultly of an exact keeping of the condition of synchronization. .."

I just bought a copy of the latest 'popular mechanics, science, whatever' and 
it had a cover story about cold fusion.  In the magazine story, we all are 
now to be called terrorists for wanting to privately create tritium so as to 
make basement whatevers.  Can't say it as we all know what esh#*  Shel)
 &awn is.   The fact that the presence in sub scanning electron microscopic
amounts is sought only to validate the technology and energy production
capability is now to be ignored.  The real point is to keep us quiet and keep 
us buying the monopolist's petroleum product.keep giving our money
to these people or risk losing our careers first, and now going  before
military tribunals in secret kangaroo trials presided over  by a latter day
American Lavrenti Beria now the American defense secretary.
   Oh yeah, they believe in the value of the rack and thumbscrew to keep
us in line as well.
  This will not be supressed forever.  It will be developed by others, 
probably  not Americans.

A new take on energy and terrorism

[Jed Rothwell]

I am reading a strange, pessimistic book titled "Imperial Hubris." You can 
read the gist of it here:

http://slate.msn.com/id/2103748
I cannot recommend it much, because the author seems to have extremist 
views and some of his statements about subjects other than Middle East 
terrorism strike me as exaggerated and unnecessarily pessimistic. The 
writing is wordy and he often fails to get to the point. The author seems 
to be an expert on the Middle East and terrorism. He is a federal 
intelligence employee, writing anonymously. (A source linked to the Slate 
article says he is at the CIA.) Since I know nothing about those subjects, 
I cannot judge his knowledge, but I expect he is right, because most of his 
information comes from original sources. That is to say, he quotes Bin 
Laden and Bin Laden's supporters, from their web pages and public 
pronouncements. There is no reason to think they are dissembling about 
their motives and goals, since they have millions of supporters by 
proclaiming these goals, including 95% of the people between age 25 and 41 
in Saudi Arabia. (2002 data, p. 72; source: Saudi intelligence service)

The author is convinced that the war in Afghanistan is as good as lost, and 
the war in Iraq was a big mistake.

Despite the gloom and doom, I came away from this book with a sense of 
relief and optimism. If the author is right, the war on terrorism can be 
resolved fairly easily with conventional energy technology, and cold fusion 
would make it go away overnight.

The book is quite involved, and most of it is not relevant to this forum, 
but let me describe a few of the ideas that are on-topic.

The author feels that one of the essential steps to ending the war in 
terror is for the US to develop alternative energy, and to disengage from 
the Middle East. As I have said here, this may not be a war for oil, but 
oil is one of the principal causes. If there were no oil in Iraq we would 
never have invaded.

This is not a clash of civilizations, or a 100 year war or anything like 
that. Bin Laden has specific, rational goals. He wants to destroy Israel, 
drive the US out of the Middle East, end US support for corrupt regimes in 
Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, stop supporting Uzbekistan and Russian policies in 
Chechnya, and stop trying to dominate the Arab Peninsula in order to buy 
oil at below-market prices. In short, most of the things he wants us to do 
would actually be in our best interests, and we should also want to do 
them, for different reasons, in different ways.

Now suppose one could romotely access these 'connection points' in not
only your brain, but others as well!  Maybe we could also access points 
connected to areas of thought, ethics, and motor activity.  How about this
in the hands of some future Sadaam or a Hitler?
  One of my grandson's games that we network around the  house is 'command
and conquer'.  This particular version contains a 'side' possessed of 'psychic
weapons' one of which is a 'psychic dominator'.  This game structure, once  
built and powered, has the ability to control the minds of opposing game 
characters.All of them within its range!   Control them, take and use 
them as your own troops.  How nice!
You build an army and all of a sudden it belongs to someone else.
   How about government figures as well?
   I am just one man and not a genius, but I see immediately the prospects of
such a technology.  It is evidently open and this much is not at least yet 
openly classified...or is it.  How much of this is already developed and 
in the hands of those who do not wish us well?  How many government
figures in our own governments are visibly not acting in the true interests
of the people they govern?  Why?!  they cral!

Ironically, the reason that any of this can happen at all, as Fred has been suggesting, is that a high voltage gradient serves to oscillate the ever-present neutrino flux to the degree that they will interact with neutrons.

This is the determining factor on the rate of the reaction.

That is why the Fusor is likely a dead-end street as far as viable LENR device is concerned, unless a larger amount of neutrinos can be focused into the device using much larger HV coils, space around the device. Fred threw this out to Earth-Tech, but they didn't bite.

Neutrinos Linked to Dark Energy

[Erikbaard]

THE FOLLOWING RELEASE WAS RECEIVED FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, IN SEATTLE, AND IS FORWARDED FOR YOUR INFORMATION.  (FORWARDING DOES NOT IMPLY ENDORSEMENT BY THE AMERICAN ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY.)  Steve Maran, American Astronomical SocietyFROM: Vince Stricherz(206) 543-2580[EMAIL PROTECTED](NOTE: researcher contact information at end)For Immediate ReleaseJuly 27, 2004NEW THEORY LINKS NEUTRINO'S SLIGHT MASSTO ACCELERATING UNIVERSE EXPANSIONTwo of the biggest physics breakthroughs during the last decade are thediscovery that wispy subatomic particles called neutrinos actually have asmall amount of mass and the detection that the expansion of the universe isactually picking up speed.Now three University of Washington physicists are suggesting the twodiscoveries are integrally linked through one of the strangest features ofthe universe, dark energy, a linkage they say could be caused by apreviously unrecognized subatomic particle they call the "acceleron."Dark energy was negligible in the early universe, but now it accounts forabout 70 percent of the cosmos. Understanding the phenomenon could help toexplain why someday, long in the future, the universe will expand so muchthat no other stars or galaxies will be visible in our night sky, andultimately it could help scientists discern whether expansion of theuniverse will go on indefinitely.In this new theory, neutrinos are influenced by a new force resulting fromtheir interactions with accelerons. Dark energy results as the universetries to pull neutrinos apart, yielding a tension like that in stretchedrubber band, said Ann Nelson, a UW physics professor. That tension fuels theexpansion of the universe, she said.Neutrinos are created by the trillions in the nuclear furnaces of stars suchas our sun. They stream through the universe, and billions pass through allmatter, including people, every second. Besides a minuscule mass, they haveno electrical charge, which means they interact very little, if at all, withthe materials they pass through.But the interaction between accelerons and other matter is even weaker,Nelson said, which is why those particles have not yet been seen bysophisticated detectors. However, in the new theory, accelerons exhibit aforce that can influence neutrinos, a force she believes can be detected bya variety of neutrino experiments already operating around the world."There are many models of dark energy, but the tests are mostly limited tocosmology, in particular measuring the rate of expansion of the universe.Because this involves observing very distant objects, it is very difficultto make such a measurement precisely," Nelson said."This is the only model that gives us some meaningful way to do experimentson earth to find the force that gives rise to dark energy. We can do thisusing existing neutrino experiments."The new theory is advanced in a paper by Nelson; David Kaplan, also a UWphysics professor; and Neal Weiner, a UW research associate in physics.Their work, supported in part by a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy,is detailed in a paper accepted for publication in an upcoming issue ofPhysical Review Letters, a journal of the American Physical Society.The researchers say a neutrino's mass can actually change according to theenvironment through which it is passing, in the same way the appearance oflight changes depending on whether it's traveling through air, water or aprism. That means that neutrino detectors can come up with somewhatdifferent findings depending on where they are and what surrounds them.But if neutrinos are a component of dark energy, that suggests the existenceof a force that would reconcile anomalies among the various experiments,Nelson said. The existence of that force, made up of both neutrinos andaccelerons, will continue to fuel the expansion of the universe, she said.Physicists have pursued evidence that could tell whether the universe willcontinue to expand indefinitely or come to an abrupt halt and collapse onitself in a so-called "big crunch." While the new theory doesn't prescribe a"big crunch," Nelson said, it does mean that at some point the expansionwill stop getting faster."In our theory, eventually the neutrinos would get too far apart and becometoo massive to be influenced by the effect of dark energy any more, so theacceleration of the expansion would have to stop," she said. "The universecould continue to expand, but at an ever-decreasing rate."                            ###For more information, contact Nelson at (206) 543-2027 or[EMAIL PROTECTED]; Kaplan at (206) 685-3546 or[EMAIL PROTECTED]; Weiner at (206) 854-7277 or[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Therefore the Casimir force is capable of applying an effective pressure at 3 angstom 
of a little more than 20 million pounds per square inch. There is a marvelous message

3-body fusion, EXCEPT this one (Casimir), and is highly recommended:
http://www.lns.cornell.edu/spr/2000-09/msg0027904.html

FWIW... it would seem that if you take all of this information together and ask, what 
does it imply about the possibility of increasing the rate of LENR fusion? Then one 
thing comes to mind: You have filled pores in a ductile metal near the stress/strain 
limit. If the Casimir force holding that material together fails uniformly, especially 
in a cascading fashion, then a high acceleration gradient will be availabe to 
adjoining pores. Let's say you want to resonate the pores at a frequency near their 
wavelength, so that failure is uniform. How do you do this? A closer look will show 
that this wavelength of 3 angstrom corresponds to a soft x-ray of the kind that is 
contemplated for use in commercial x-ray lithography machines - IOW it is available at 
many labs. It is also available in certain "glow discharge" regimes.

Is it any wonder that, far in the past history of CF, externally applied gamma 
radiation has been claimed to stimulated cold fusion?

For years I have ben fascinated by the breif reports of the successful experimental 
work, and then the sudden disappearance from the web of most all of the information 
thereof, of Dr. Nelson Ying, aka The Baron of Balquhain, and the enigmatic reputed 
inventor of an "on demand" form of Cold Fusion, which apparently fell off the map a 
decade ago. Apparently his private company, Quantum Nucleonics, is active overseas 
(Taiwan?) , but not here.

The story is almost too wierd to even pursue here, but if you want to have a peek, 
like reading a detective novel, then google "Nelson Ying"

Jones

Will the first available commercial cold fusion device be a Chinese import?

eScribe Vortex Thread Index

[Grimer]

Does anyone know when eScribe Vortex Thread Index 
is coming back on line. I know one can use the mirror 
site but the eScribe offers certain facilities which 
the mirror doesn't. For instance, it allows you to 
list all the posts by a given author. 

I wanted to find out Standing Bear's background so 
that I could better understand his replies. I had to 
sort out his posts individually on the Mirror site 
before discovering he is Chris Metzler. Armed with 
this information I could go to Google Groups and 
understand where he is coming from, so to speak.

Talking of sites being down, Google Web was down 
yesterday for several hours in Britain. I don't know
if there was any connection with the Google share 
launch or not but I have never experienced Google
being down before. Maybe it is the start of search
engine wars and the plumbers' dirty tricks.  

Cheers
