 In my own case I continue to tinker away with s/w I have developed
 over the years that simulate the characteristics of celestial
 mechanics. I enjoy delving into the realms of theoretical research.
 It's cheap! Cut's down on expensive lab equipment! I realize it is
 somewhat maniacal for me to say this but on the surface it appears to
 me as if I might have uncovered some additional laws that could be
 added to Kepler's famous laws... or not. (I realize I could just be
 fooling myself! ;-) )Time will tell. I'm still in the process of
 trying to construct and run more accurate modeling simulations to
 either verify or falsify my suspicions. If the results turn out to be
 encouraging I'll need to publish the data along with the s/w that
 reproduced the results. In the end one's work must be reproducible.
 Otherwise, it all just here say.

2012-02-29 Thread OrionWorks - Steven Vincent Johnson
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

Re: [Vo]:The Aspden Effect

2012-02-29 Thread fusion.calo...@gmail.com

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.


See explaination in Guglinski's book Quantum Ring Theorey, 2006.

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! ;-)

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

short on I/O pins, but, who knows. I intend to buy some of them anyway :-)

[Vo]:Defkalion shutting down their forum .. again

2012-02-29 Thread Alan J Fletcher

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.

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

From DGT:

 The situation now is different in that our openness

...

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. Managing a
forum of this nature struck me as an incredibly risky venture, a task
that in the end becomes nearly impossible to control insofar as trying
to maintain good PR is concerned. 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. Why should DGT feel
obligated to piss on the latest bonfire created by another rabid
skeptic, or for that matter continue to assure hand wringing
believers? Well... they don't!

Chill out! Go get some authentic Greek Worry Beads!

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.

RE: [Vo]:OT: $35 computer sells out on first day of launch

2012-02-29 Thread Jones Beene
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.

Yes, I don't know why they had the forum in the first place.  What are they

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

Daniel, 
sorry to say, but You seem to be one of the lot, who cannot hold the water.

DGT did not make a substantial error up to now.
Btw, my own projects often have delays and complications and modifications. 
That's the way it is.

In a situation like DGK or Rossi You have to fight against a headwind of 99%, 
and the rest is a substantial lot of idiots, who cannot tell the difference 
between a hole and a substantial spot.

In this case the 'data'-question is largely irrelevant. COP 20 can even 
detected by a else blind government-official.

The DGK-issue can be settled by just waiting a month or two.
So what is the REAL issue of the childish? To know it at the first minute, or 
what?

Calm down.

Look at olimexino and its relatives, how this is done. This is just 80MHz

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.

 I agree with Defkalion that they are not obligated to continue to publicly

 It might have been preferable for Defkalion not to attempt to engage the
 public at all and to stay in stealth mode as long as possible.  I can
 understand their learning about PR as they go.  But with opinions so set
 against LENR in some mainstream scientific circles, here's to hoping that
 other initiatives will steer a steadier course in how they communicate to
 the public what they're doing.

Whatever.  Defkalion and Rossi themselves said they would have independent 
verification by the end of March.

 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.  I don't owe them any patience, though I will still wait until 
 March 31.  If nothing happens by then, there is no reason for me to pay any 
 more attention to this.  Maybe it's just me, but if I was in Defkalion's 
 position, I'd get independent verification as soon as possible.  They should 
 get plenty of money through awards and licenses if they sell the product to a 
 large company.  Everyday, the world is wasting billions of dollars and 
 millions of people are dying unnecessarily.  Just the discovery of an LENR

2012-02-29 Thread Jouni Valkonen
If Dick Smith had not been such an ignorant jerk and had not turned down 
Defkalion's fair offer, he would have been one of the independent entities in 
testing Hyperions. 

Of course it is plausible, that losing $one million had been such a shock, that 
he would have hidden the results in shame and never publish them...

 This doesn't prove they have anything, but it's a start, and there is no

 As DGT has stated SEVERAL times, is it up to the visiting entities, NOT DGT, 
 to release test results!!!  You are not reading things correctly.. perhaps 
 because English is not your native language.  Those entities, if they CHOOSE 
 to release the results, will very likely do it via the mainstream media, and 
 their own website, NOT DGT’s website.  Thus, the closing down of the DGT 
 forum will not make any difference as to whether data is publicly released…

 Do not expect to see any data from these tests:
  
 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.

 Data is surely a  part  of  these  online games.

yes it is ited in many larsen slkides as one of the key experiment.
tungsten was seen vaporized in an unusual way when LENR signas were seen.

eg page 59, but many other (including exploding wires)

 4) If I remember correctly, Tungsten has been used in other cold fusion
 systems.
