RE: [Vo]:Nature Editorial: If you want reproducible science, the software needs to be open source
From Michele: Have you played with celestia? http://www.shatters.net/celestia/ No, I haven't. I'll take a closer look at the tour when I get some time. Back to the topic. The original article from Nature: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v482/n7386/full/nature10836.html Thanks for the original Nature article as well. Following up on my previous commentary, yesterday for the first time I performed a computer simulation that showed me what appears to be an alternative way to graph (or simulate) a typical elliptical orbit. Traditional algorithms employ a basic feed-back loop based on 1/R**2 of the distance. However, the alternative feed-back loop algorithm I started experimenting with is based on combining both 1/r**2 AND 1/R**3. Obviously, this new algorithm might sound counter intuitive at first glance. I'll try to explain how I arrived at such an audacious algorithm when I get a little more time in a couple of days. What I can say is that the new system involves an alternative way of graphing out a periodic orbit - where you plot an elliptical orbit on a TIME-LINE chart. The orbital distance is the Y vertical value and the horizontal X value is the time value. Both the traditional AND the new alternative algorithms seem to work using this alternative X/Y chart. I overplayed both the traditional and alterative versions on top of each other and they fit like a glove. The implication is what appears to be an alternative (and possibly a more realistic or practical perspective) that suggests something akin to an interplay positive AND negative gravitational/centripetal forces that influence a typical elliptical orbit depending on where the satellite is located in its orbital period. Sorry, that last sentence was a mouthful, wasn't it. ;-) PS: I came up with the idea after reading up on one of Miles Mathis essays on the physics of orbital periods. http://www.amazon.com/unified-Field-other-problems/dp/1452005141 The book is self-published. I'm sure nobody wanted to be associated with what he wanted to talk about. http://milesmathis.com/ Some consider Mathis to be a crank, but he DID give me some ideas!

Re: [Vo]:The Aspden Effect
Terry, FYI: Within your ref: That quantum jitter, by the way, is the so-called 'Zitterbewegung' that underlies Heisenberg's Principle of Uncertainty in quantum theory, by which neither position nor momentum are certain, but multiply the two together and you get a definite quantum of angular momentum h/2π, where h is Planck's constant of action. I have good reason to believe that matter acquires that jitter property by sharing it with a universal activity in the aether itself, or the 'vacuum medium' should the word 'aether' seem inappopriate terminology to a physicist who may read this.

The orbital distance is the Y vertical value and the horizontal X value is the time value. That graph should look something like a sine curveor not? You're on the right track. However the time-line looks more like a bouncing ball. The bouncing part is where the satellite has reached the perihelion (closest distance) in the orbital period. Ironically, at this moment in time I would conjecture that it would not be incorrect to stipulate that the orbiting satellite is behaving as if it's being influenced by a NEGATIVE gravitational field. That's where the 1/r^3 (cubed) part of the algorithm comes into play. It influences the direction the satellite is taking by pushing it away. Traditionally speaking, we are used to interpreting that aspect of the orbit as the influence of centripetal action. It's all a matter of interpretation! The cubed (negative forces) influence only comes into play in close proximity to the planet for which the satellite is orbiting around. At farther distances, the normal 1/r^2 (attractive forces) take over. It's really kind of a nifty perspective, if not a little wacky! ;-) Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks

Defkalion does not bother to explain why these tests differ significantly from those that were originally planned.

Re: [Vo]:OT: $35 computer sells out on first day of launch
The broadcom chip on there is of the kind that is in your iphone and other smartphones. They are SoC's (system-on-a-chip), meaning all peripherals are on the chip. If you look at the board you will see that there is almost no other glue, than just what is needed to go to the various connectors. The iphone and android success and the competition between them has made these chips really, really cheap. Also, the raspi foundation is a charity organization that intends to bring kids back to the commodore 64 spirit, and it does not care much for much margin. In fact, where you say that the Ni-H system can be controlled by something similar, you are spot on: the fusioncatalyst.org open source initiative that Bastiaan announced will use the beaglebone, which is a very similar device, and uses the same ARM CPU core. It is here on my desk, has tons of I/O pins and works great. The raspi is just a bit short on I/O pins, but, who knows. I intend to buy some of them anyway :-) Andre On 02/29/2012 02:43 PM, Jones Beene wrote: Yikes - this is not OT at all. How can they do it for the price?

[Vo]:Defkalion shutting down their forum .. again
http://www.defkalion-energy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=6909#p6909 We are a private company with our own strategy. We believed in the operation of a forum in our website because LENR should be accessible by all. We aimed to counter many conspiracy theorists. Our goal was to stress that we would handle the commercialization of this technology with social responsibility. Throughout the lifespan of this forum we maintained minimum control, accepted negative comments openly, and provided a lot of technical and commercial information. The situation now is different in that our openness creates problems that can damage the success of this project. This technology has international implications in energy, politics and business. A large amount of knowledge, resources and nerve are required. Our company is capable in handling all of the above and will succeed in bringing this technology to the people. In order to achieve this, we must finalize the technology with certifications, fine-tune our products with licenses, and start mass production with blue prints for our partners. During these difficult months ahead, we see no need for the forum to exist. We do not need to provide answers, explanations or justifications for what, how and when we are doing something. We need to handle sensitive matters as opposed to manage publicity. In so doing, all activity on this forum shall be frozen. Regarding test results: We clearly stated in our announcement that test results may be published. It is impossible to know the communication policy held by each government Authority or indeed the selected internationally recognized and reputable scientific organization that we have accepted to conduct tests when they verify the existence and validity of LENR. Regarding being a scam: We are self financed. We have not borrowed from banks, individuals or governments. Our business plan ensures that licensees pay only after final verification of our end-product and our deliverables for production. Everything we have done is with our own money at our own risk. We have no responsibility to issue any information to anyone. Having said this, we have no intention to falsify, alter actual facts, or harm any persons. The only high stake losses are those encountered by us, no one else. Socrates once said that whenever people are deceived and form opinions wide of the truth, it is clear that the error has slid into their minds through the medium of certain resemblances to that truth. Defkalion is not responsible for people who read the internet's unverified sources, create impressions and new truths, eventually ending up in confusion. The information out there is a lot. It is information that has been created and at times even altered according to the author's aims. If there is any deception, it is out there. A fate regrettably encountered by Mr Rossi who did so much for LENR's publicity. Our responsibility is to produce a working prototype for humanity not to satisfy a few curious scientists, journalists, enthusiasts and skeptics. There will be plenty of room for constructive commentary on our final product. Until Defkalion Green Technologies has its product, we shall no longer get involved in the games and blogs of online media. Our next announcement in the coming months will be that of a successful and certified product. We thank those who supported our initiative, apologize to those who enjoyed the exchanges, and commit to all our honest intention to see this project succeed. Until further notice in the coming months, this forum shall remain inactive. DGT (lenr.qumbu.com -- analyzing the Rossi/Focardi eCat -- and the defkalion hyperion -- Hi, google!)

RE: [Vo]:What are the Odds?
This is an important article, as is the research paper behind it. To date, little has been done to minimize the potential nuclear nightmare that could result from such a catastrophic solar storm. The Wired article totally omits that little recognized aspect. See 400 Chernobyls? and Dire Warnings - at www.aesopinstitute.org for an overview of a worst case scenario. Much can be done - if we are wise enough to do it. Decentralization of energy should be sharply accelerated. The positive economic impact would be substantial.

From DGT: The situation now is different in that our openness creates problems that can damage the success of this project. ... Some may agree, and some may disagree with DGT's stated reasons for closing their forum. Personally, I'm surprised that DGT actually had a controversial forum of this nature up and running for as long as they had.

If I had been the CEO I wouldn't have authorized a forum of this nature, even though I know full well that it would have disappointed many, including myself. ...especially myself. I ask myself: Would Apple have allowed a controversial forum of this nature, a form that would have allowed Joe Public and all of his in-laws to argue incessantly over the so called merits (or the lack) of developing an iPhone iPad, particularly while the project was still under development? Granted, maybe Rossi DGT will turn out to be a scam operation, just as all the skeptics have been harping all along. I sincerely doubt it, but I must admit the fact that it is still a remote possibility. The way I see it, the fact that DGT decided to close their forum is no grounds, in my book, for suddenly feeling overly concerned. If anything, it suggests to me that DGT realizes they need to focus all their energies on the tasks-at-hand. It seems like every time there is another bump in the road certain skeptics point to the event as further proof that it's proof of scam operation. It can also cause certain believers fret and worry - endlessly.

Re: [Vo]:OT: $35 computer sells out on first day of launch
The funny thing is that Intel some years ago sold its own ARM design the Xscale because it was not profitable. I think that now that ARM is the most common CPU around, they are biting their own hands. ARM history is really interesting and shows how a very innovative technology can come close to extinction if the market is not yet ready. The greatest innovation of RISC and most notably ARM design is the much lower cost of development, and production, yet it had to wait something like 20 years to have its revenge. mic Il 29 febbraio 2012 20:08, Andre Blum andre_vor...@blums.nl ha scritto: The broadcom chip on there is of the kind that is in your iphone and other smartphones. They are SoC's (system-on-a-chip), meaning all peripherals are on the chip.

The iphone and android success and the competition between them has made these chips really, really cheap.

RE: [Vo]:OT: $35 computer sells out on first day of launch
Andre, AB: the fusioncatalyst.org open source initiative that Bastiaan announced will use the beaglebone, which is a very similar device, and uses the same ARM CPU core. It is here on my desk, has tons of I/O pins and works great. Thanks for mentioning this again. I must have missed it the first time around. My only quibble with this important initiative and mission is the assumption of nuclear fusion which is prominently featured. Since this term has a precise meaning in physics, and yet it may not be indicative of the actual mechanism at play in whatever system emerges as the primary way to produce excess heat, it could be a mistake to feature it so prominently, IMO. Following Fuku, there is a lot of knee-jerk negativity towards anything that smacks of toxic radiation. There is close to zero independent evidence of gammas, neutrons, helium, tritium, 3He or any of the other indicia of hydrogen based fusion in ongoing operation of a device. Celani has made an anecdotal claim which may relate to startup only. Many of us suspect a new kind of quasi-nuclear reaction which will not be called fusion in the end. The terms quasi-nuclear or supra-chemical related to a mechanism where inner electron orbitals (as opposed to valence electrons) are involved (as in the Mössbauer effect) yet the ultimate energy source does relate to conversion of nuclear mass to energy, but in a way that does not usually involve significant gamma radiation. Real fusion cannot occur without substantial gamma radiation, and this cannot be shielded with a miniscule amount of lead. Anyway - other than that quibble, this is a very important initiative, and let's hope it gains momentum. Prior to hearing about the ‘beaglebone’ I was thinking about the Raspi as possibly a front-end for another similar sized board, which would have the I/O and other A/D parts and the relays needed to collect and control a fair number of inputs – temp, pressure, and so on. This would include the enigmatic RF generator, if this turns out to be an efficient way to stimulate the reaction. Jones attachment: winmail.dat
Re: [Vo]:Defkalion shutting down their forum .. again
Yes, I don't know why they had the forum in the first place. What are they expecting if they aren't willing to do an independent test? I didn't think the posts on the forum were that bad for any party. I didn't think the skepticism was unreasonable, but I did think running a forum was pretty much a waste of time. If all they are going to do is secret tests and delay another few months all the time, there is no use in following them any more. They may have a real device or they may not. They have no evidence at all at what they claim. I can say right now that I have a working cold fusion device in my garage, and it has been secretly tested by government officials, and I'd have the same credibility as they do.

RE: [Vo]:OT: $35 computer sells out on first day of launch
Hi Günter, But the specs I saw mentioned Ethernet, which is a bit faster, but if not– do we really care about “real world” interfacing in this situation? It would seem that the ability to control a complex local mechanism at even 80 MHz for a fraction of the cost of previous state-of-the-art controllers, is something to get excited about, no? This device is not intended to have any real-world-interfacing. It is located in a virtual world with only indirect interfacing to the r-w via USB. Look at olimexino and its relatives, how this is done. This is just 80MHz compared to the fancy 800MHz, but the difference is, that You talk to the 'world' (TM) with 80MHz, compared to 'Yourself ' (no TM) with 800MHz. So what is the difference, exactly? attachment: winmail.dat

Re: [Vo]:Defkalion shutting down their forum .. again
The forum is more than a place to answer questions and make annoucements. If Defkalion listened carefully, the forum is telling them how to communicate more effectively with ALL their supporters, not just the adoring fans. The adoring fans and pathological skeptics always seem to roughly balance in numbers. However, they could raise an army of conditional supporters if they listened to them in earnest. harry On Wed, Feb 29, 2012 at 6:37 PM, Craig Brown cr...@overunity.co wrote: Every single alternative energy forum suffers from the same problem.

Re: [Vo]:Defkalion shutting down their forum .. again
It seems that the straw that broke the camel's back was a poster eluding to Defkalion/Praxen being a possible front organization for laundering money out of Greece. There were two or three posters that were not just acting like spoilt children, but making accusations that would make any potential licensee extremely wary. The forum required moderation, and I really thought they would have learned that lesson the first time they shut it down.

Re: [Vo]:Physice depends on choice of coordinates

[Vo]:FYI: faster than a speeding electron... how fast is that??? Radar gun for electron flow...
Just some interesting science. http://www.physorg.com/news/2012-02-electron-detection-breakthrough-unleash- next-generation-technologies.html The researchers discovered that by shining light from a high-power laser onto a material that contains moving electrons, light of a different color is generated. They looked at thin crystals of gallium arsenide - a material commonly used in high-speed electronics and photonics. By applying a voltage across the crystal, they set electrons to move through it with a specified speed. By illuminating the crystal with an infrared laser pulse, invisible to human eyes, they found that visible red light was produced - a signature of the second-harmonic generation process. Additionally, they observed that the brightness of the red-light scales with the speed of electrons. When the electrons have no directional motion, no red light comes out. By detecting the red light, one can accurately determine the speed of electrons without making any contact with the sample and without disturbing the electrons, Zhao said. -Mark

DGT may not owe us anything, but I don't owe them anything either. Defkalion has shown us nothing, and Rossi just had some demos that he was in complete control of.

Maybe it's just me, but if I was in Defkalion's position, I'd get independent verification as soon as possible.
