Now, it gets really interesting.

The sense of outrage many could be feeling may need to be tempered
with what potential damage to "innocents" could ensue. It would
suggest to me that keeping Duncan clearly and deliberately out of the

Videos would be the wiser choice of action at this time.  There is no
need to imply in any shape or manner that Duncan endorses or was in
any way involved in posting the video at these locations, which of

[Vo]:UDD - Big Story

2009-05-13 Thread Jones Beene
Check out Slashdot - or the SciNews feeds today- big story with no details:
Ultra Dense Deuterium

It is said to be much denser than metallic deuterium, where the bond
distance would be 153 pm (1.53 angstroms) or 2.9 times the Bohr radius of
the atom. Even metallic hydrogen has a density of approximately 0.6 kg /
dm3. (0.6 grams/cc or 0.6 times as dense as water- so yet it would float
easily) 

..yet this is said to be 100,000 times more dense. They do not even mention
bosons. Do they even appreciate what a boson is?

One of the worst written science articles of all times - that is why no
citation is given. Don't want to embarrass the turkeys. And these dufuss
science reporters are told that only LENR experimenters are on the fringe.
LOL

Of course - none of them considered highly redundant (Millsean) states -
i.e. the deuterino.

There could also a denser state exists for deuterium, which may or may not
be Millsean, and comes from Robert Carroll and others, called the inverse
quantum state. Others have called it D(-1) or the inverse of D(1).  The bond
distance could be very small, equal to 0.23 angstroms. 

Why not be (if the material is not imaginary altogether) give RM some credit
- Mills has a least stuck his neck out with a thousand page tome showing
that it could conceivably be something like D(sub 1/137) then heck -- why
not give RM some credit, if you are going to do abysmal journalism anyway ?

And catch-22 - what keeps it from fusing? D-D fusion would be expected to
take place way too easily in this material for it to be stable. 

BTW isn't this also approximately the same concept as "degenerate matter"?

According to Wikipedia, high temp hot melt guns run around 195 C.  Of
course the object being glued won't typically get quite so hot as the
heater in the gun itself, so we can probably take that as an upper bound
 on how hot the magnets would get.

Also per Wikipedia, the Curie point for iron is 768 C.  That's over 500
C margin between the hot melt temp and the Curie point, so one would
guess that hot gluing the magnets is probably harmless.

Leaving aside that he appears to be an amalgam of real people, taken over
time from a general context, I'd say he was a forerunner of liberal
forces (i.e. the liberal bourgeoisie from the next century or so onwards)
struggling against the growing menace of a totalitarian, centralizing
absolute monarchy (as opposed to the old, decentralized feudal order,
which was in fact breaking down) -- which, of course, affected this
nascent bourgeoisie's bottom line: i.e. basic right to do business, etc.

Much the situation as we have today, in fact!
;P

Seriously, tho': It's no coincidence that it was this very King John --
in whose name the Sheriff of Nottingham acted -- who was the one forced
to sign the Magna Carta (and I hope we all understand the importance of
that legal concession). Nor is it a coincidence, either, that our present
decadent bourgeois ruling-class has just ripped up that 800 year-old
declaration of human and individual rights and used it for toilet paper.

[Vo]:[OT] Cyanoacrylate activator: Where did it go?

2009-05-13 Thread Stephen A. Lawrence
A couple decades ago I was, for a brief time, a (not very good) hardware
design engineer.  In the lab, we used cyanoacrylate to glue parts to
boards, and we used spray bottles of activator to harden the stuff.  And
so I learned that Krazy glue and related products, which normally only
stick well to fingers, can be made to stick where and when you want them
to, if you just use a spritz of activator on it.

After that little epiphany, I purchased cyanoacrylate at the local Radio
Shack a number of times, and always got hardener with it.  Later I
purchased some at a hardware store, and again got the hardener with it.
 The stuff was great; it would stick, no questions asked, to just about
anything -- as long as one used the activator.

Then a few years went by during which I didn't buy the stuff -- didn't
do any projects which needed it, hadn't used up the old stock.

And one day I went to the local hardware store and looked for
cyanoacrylate with hardener.  No luck -- none on the shelves.  I asked a
clerk; he'd *never* *heard* of hardener for cyanoacrylate!  (Of course
that just means they hadn't carried it any time in the last couple
months, but none the less it was a bit startling.)

Later I checked Radio Shack.  Same deal -- no hardener, clerks had never
heard of the stuff.  Hardener is for epoxy, that's all they knew about.

I've looked in other stores since; it's always the same. They don't
carry it and as far as they know, there is no such thing, and never was.

Somebody seems to have erased cyanoacrylate activator from the page of
time.  Anybody here know what happened?

Why'd it get pulled from the market?  Does the stuff turn out to make
your head swell up and turn purple or something?  Or can you get high
off of it?

(Or have I just been unlucky in 5 out of 5 stores I've tried, and the
stuff really is still on the shelves *somewhere*?)

Oops!  I didn't look hard enough.

Margin between 320 and 195, just 125 C, seems a bit thin, if, as I
believe is the case, the magnets become less permanent as one
_approaches_ the Curie point.  Granted the Curie point represents an
abrupt phase transition, none the less that doesn't mean they emerge
entirely unscathed from heating to any temperature below that.

Gluing to an aluminum disk, AKA a big heat sink, one might also wonder
if the magnets might get hotter than usual during the operation as one
struggles to get everything hot enough so the glue sticks to the disk
rather than just freezing solid as soon as it touches down.

Sigh... OK, yes, I should have done that to start with.  Actually I
rather hoped there was some interesting tale behind the disappearance
which someone here would know.

So it appears the stuff is still available mail order, from some places
-- but why'd it disappear from retail store shelves?  20 years ago it
was in the glue section of every hardware store I shopped in.  It
certainly seems like something happened and I still don't know what.
Quote from one page:

"I finally ran out of Zip Kicker and the hobby shop I purchased it from
originally is long gone. All the local hobby shops fail to carry it as
well."

No explanation, and none of the replies mentioned any explanation; just
a statement of what I've already observed.

And, I should add, a lot of alternatives for use as accelerators were
mentioned, including baking soda and white glue, which I didn't know
about.  Useful info, maybe.

It seems to be this simple

Torque = T12 - T21

For a two dimensional tensor

T= T11 T12
 T21 T22

Right?

Now I will do some nice calculations, but first I would like to have this

Re: [Vo]:Calculate the torque from the stress tensor

2009-05-13 Thread Stephen A. Lawrence
What you just said sounds right, but what you've actually got looks to
me like the torque per unit volume.  I think you need to integrate that
over a volume to get the actual torque acting on that volume.

OTOH if that value is nonzero then your object is spinning up -- it's
not just sitting there.  If you're looking at something like a steel
shaft which is under torsion but stationary then T12 = T21 and you need
to look at something more complicated to figure out what the torque on
the shaft is -- maybe the gradient of the stress tensor?

Re: [Vo]:Calculate the torque from the stress tensor

2009-05-13 Thread Stephen A. Lawrence
I think, for a stationary shaft...

Assume you're given a stationary shaft lying along the x axis. Assume
further that it's under torsion.

To find the applied torque, I think you would want to integrate

R x (Txy, Txz)

over the surface of a cut through the shaft, where "R" is the radius
vector from the center of the shaft to each point on the cut surface,
and "x" is the cross product.  But I'm not sure; these comments of mine
are pretty half-baked.

Of course, if the shaft is stationary (or rotating at constant velocity)
then the applied torque must be the same no matter where you look along
the shaft.

Watching this with my wife now.

Something about the video seems odd. I cannot put my
finger on it, but it is not the obvious. Will go back
to the workshop in a minute and try this with what we
have here.

I'll do a bit more with this, but then have other
things to work on.

Cheers,

Sorry! My mistake again.
The name is John Bedini and not John Sterling.
