[Vo]:Gibbs: Cold fusion and unintended consequences

2012-11-21 Thread Jed Rothwell
Gibbs published a new article:

http://www.forbes.com/sites/markgibbs/2012/11/20/cold-fusion-and-unintended-consequences/

For once I have no objection! He says nothing unreasonable.

I posted the following response:


Gibbs is correct. The problems he describes may occur with cold fusion.
These problems -- and others -- have been discussed by several people since
the discovery of cold fusion, especially: Martin Fleischmann, Stanley Pons,
Arthur C. Clarke, David Nagel, Michael McKubre, Michael Melich, Eugene
Mallove, Anthony Lovins, Jeremy Rifkin, Adm. Sir Anthony Griffin and me. I
described some of their conclusions in chapters 11, 12 and 19 of my book,
“Cold Fusion and the Future.” The book is here:

http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/RothwellJcoldfusiona.pdf

Some of these problems are not likely to be as serious as Gibbs fears. The
total nuclear waste from cold fusion cells is likely to be very small. It
should be easily contained because the cells will be sealed units, like
batteries. As long as the recycling plants are designed and run correctly,
this should not be a problem. Clarke discussed the heat islands problem.
He, I and others concluded that even with low Carnot efficiency, savings
from co-generation space heating will likely lower overall heat releases.
Agriculture from desalinated water may be a problem, but not if the
standards of Israeli and Saudi desalination plants are adhered to. These
and other examples demonstrate that the use of cold fusion will have to
regulated to some extent.

Granted, there are many other unintended consequences. They are
anticipated, but not intended. There are also a host of evil applications
for cold fusion, some of which I describe in the book. Fleischmann and Pons
delayed the introduction of cold fusion for a few years partly because they
feared some of these applications. They thought it might be a good idea for
the Department of Defense to classify the research.

RE: [Vo]:430 kHz may be a LENR signature

2012-11-21 Thread Roarty, Francis X
Jones,
Time and frequency may experience Lorentzian  expansion since there is no 
spatial displacement if the oscillation is initiated while the environment is 
contracted.. the electromagnetic oscillations occurring in the same Casimir 
environment with fractional/relativistic hydrogen might appear to slow down 
proportionally as the fractional hydrogen returns to normal size... never 
changed size in fact from it's own local perspective but rather the Casimir 
suppression changed C in the region between the geometry so you have a new way 
to alter the ratio of V^2/C^2 where velocity and spatial vector  is of little 
importance compared to geometry and time [with suppression instead of velocity 
we outside the cavity appear to slow down due to dilation relative to a tiny 
observer in the cavity]..I posit this suppression at this nano geometry swamps 
out the gravitational square law we are bound to at the macro and breaks the 
isotropy / the normal slew rate for equivalent inertial frames is trumped by 
geometry...if this turns out to be related to catalytic action and the claims 
of modified radioactive decay then I would posit the dilation is more intense 
than the claims would suggest. The claims of modified decay rates represent the 
averaged  rate for the radioactive gas , most of which is only exposed to 
lesser -non Casimir - confinement, this would mean the active sites responsible 
for anomalous heat in other claims may have a much higher dilation factor / 
smaller fractionalized hydrogen than we are being led to believe.

Subject: EXTERNAL: [Vo]:430 kHz may be a LENR signature


There is an RF signal which appears to have a strong correlation to excess 
heating events in one kind of LENR. This is from a recent paper at ICCF17.

The signal has a frequency of .43 MHz (430 kHz). This seems to be a signature - 
and a strong one. But it is too early to generalize.

I have looked high and low to find some broader significance to this particular 
frequency, but nothing seems to turn up. This is longwave once used for Morse 
code and warning beacons, but not much used anymore. Who wants a 700 meter 
antenna?

There is some relevance to Rabi frequency and to MRI but this seems 
incidental.

A real connection to nuclear events seems extremely remote, given the 
wavelength - but it is there, and knowing why it is there could be important.

Very strange...

2012-11-21 Thread Jed Rothwell
I should welcome Gibbs to the Reality Based community for these comments:

. . . it seems there may well be a real effect producing anomalous heat in
experimental setups.

The experimental stuff is all well and good but so far no one has managed
to definitively demonstrate that whatever the effect is can be reliably
harnessed to provide a useful energy source.

He should have mentioned that the experimental results have never been
refuted, and after 23 years it is safe to say they are irrefutable. If the
skeptics could have found a problem, they would have by now. The best they
can come up with is Jones' claim that recombination is a problem with a
closed cell.

Reliability is unproved, as Gibbs says. The fact that the effect can be
scaled up was proved definitively by the explosion at U. Utah, and later by
Mizuno's inadvertent heat after death event, which boiled away 17 liters of
water in 5 days.

See:

http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/MizunoTnucleartra.pdf

If we can get the cells to do that on demand, in a controlled fashion,
there is not the slightest doubt this will be a practical source of energy.
That would be true even if the effect only worked with palladium.

A device of the same size and temperature of Mizuno's cell would, by
itself, be sufficient to power a surprisingly large fraction of our
industrial civilization. You may not think so at first, but you have to
take into account the fact that most machines consume less than 100 W.

In reply to  David Roberson's message of Wed, 21 Nov 2012 01:07:06 -0500 (EST):
Hi,
[snip]
Thinking of acousticsIf the hemispheres are very accurately machined then 
any ultrasonic excitement of the surface that is symmetrical will form waves 
that collide at the center of the device.  Very large pressure will be 
generated similar to the collapse of a bubble.  I know of a fingerprint 
reading technique that uses a partial half sphere emitter of ultrasonic 
energy.  This allows reading of the finger shape very accurately even through 
rubber gloves since the energy is focused to a tiny point.

This is not a bad idea. The speed of sound in water is about 1500 m/s. A 5 mm
separation distance would imply a wavelength of 5 mm, which in turn implies a
frequency of about 350 kHz, which is certainly in the ballpark.



Maybe the extreme pressure can lead to a form of LENR that generates excess 
heating in water.


I wonder whether the effect is due to ultrasonic or RF activation.  A 
'resonator' could apply to both and the frequencies used for ultrasonic 
generation are within the RF range.


I also would assume that the structure has an RF resonance, but it would 
definitely posses an ultrasonic one.  If the Q of the ultrasonic resonator is 
high, then standing waves would form within the structure.  A moderate amount 
of drive energy could result in a far larger amount of stored energy in this 
configuration.  Perhaps this type of system would behave as a cavitation 
generator on steroids. 

Especially if the RF resonant frequency matched the ultrasonic one? (Tunable
with a variable inductance coil in the RF circuit.)


Years ago I suggested that sono-fusion might be mediated by Hydrinos created in
the plasma at the heart of the bubble by the action of O++ as a Mills catalyst.
Mills has recently suggested (CIHT) that nascent H2O could also function as a
catalyst. (Single water molecules catalyze, where molecules bound by Hydrogen
bonds in a liquid water don't.) The high temperatures found in the bubbles would
be more than sufficient to vaporize some of the liquid water, creating
individual molecules, and also some free H atoms for them to catalyze.

Gibbs is wrong. There are many roads to over unity energy production.
Eventually the top over unity performers will win out. The production of
heat from LENR is the least desirable, efficient and resource intensive of
those various over unity energy production methods.

As a superior engineering approach, I favor the Papp reaction which
extracts energy out of the quantum foam.

Its conversion efficiency of pressure to electricity is in the high 90’s
percentages with little or no heat production.

The reactions typically referred to as cold fusion will be discarded as
antiquated and resource intensive when compared to the Papp reaction.

The Papp reaction does not modify the nucleus of the noble gases that carry
its energy content so no waste products are produced.

These minuscule 500 CCs of noble gases that enable the Papp reaction do not
deteriorate for many years and are essentially indestructible.

These noble gases do not produce toxic or radioactive wastes and this clean
gas phased single stage electrical generation operating regime reduces the
total cost of electric power production from the Papp reaction to the
absolute minimum.

Coupled with Papp electric generators, zero heat producing electric LED
lighting will not add to the urban heat load.

Yeah, I agree with that. But I do not think Gibbs is saying that downsides
are inevitable. He is saying they are possible, especially if people use
the energy carelessly. I think he makes a good point. I made the same point
in chapter 19 of my book. People can turn any blessing into a curse.

Gibbs mentions the likelihood of cheap machines with low Carnot efficiency
being a problem, because they produce too much waste heat and cause urban
heat islands. I added a comment about this to his blog:

. . . While this may be a problem, there is a lower limit to it. A machine
with only 2 to 4% efficiency would have a giant motor. It would look like a
19th century steam tractor. It would end up costing more than a machine
with Carnot efficiency of ~10%, which is approximately what cars were like
in 1960.

I just remembered something that ties in with the 430Khz. and anomalous

When I was involved with the International Tesla Society back in the 80s, we

were hacking together some experiments. nothing earth shattering ever came
of their work that I know of.

 

One of the regulars was a very introverted guy, physics degree, who was
quite intelligent; worked in the semiconductor industry.  He told us about
something he'd heard of a way to 'aetherize' water. went from liquid to
'nothing' w/o boiling. Had to use a fused quartz cylindrical tube (6L by
~1.5 I.D.), water (pure?), 500+W signal generator hooked up to piezo
transducer which was glued/epoxied to one open end of the quartz tube.  Fill
tube with water, but had to calc the wavelength of the sound wave and keep
the water level at least at a multiple of the wavelength. what was the
frequency  ~41Khz to 43Khz!  Just a coincidence, I'm sure.

 

Could it be done at any frequency so long as the height of the water column
was a multiple of the wavelength of the sound waves generated by the piezo
transducer?  Don't think so. but we never got as far as trying it.  I moved
out of the area and shortly thereafter the Tesla Society went belly-up.

Oh, the story was that it wasn't a good idea to put your hand over the
quartz tube when operating.. When the water 'aetherized', it pretty much
instantly disappeared from the quartz tube, apparently as an
'aether-bullet', and put a hole thru whatever was in the 'line of fire'

That is true. That is why I say this would be idea for food factories and
other large industrial complexes.


Besides, the building is probably already built, it just has to be
 assembled in place.


It is prefabricated. However, the overall cost and man-hours are much
smaller, and the construction process is safer than assembling components
on site. The building is reportedly stronger, and more earthquake proof
than conventional buildings would be, and despite that it takes less
material to make.

So, all in all, I would say it is an important breakthrough. It is what you
might call an incremental breakthrough, that seems obvious in retrospect,
yet which was more difficult to implement than it might seem. Other
breakthroughs like this include multi-modal containerized shipping, and the
Internet.

Hi folks,

I have completed a long series of experiments utilizing borax, standard

To my best knowledge, the Papp engine is the only over unity invention to
have ever received an American patent.

The self-powered Papp engine was tested by independent and objective

The Papp reaction was tested under the supervision of the navy and observed
by defense contractors to split open and shatter a 6 inch diameter 3/8
inches thick steel gun  barrel when its projectile jammed in that barrel.

An isolated and completely self-powered Papp engine produced sufficient
power to explode with such force to kill and injure multiple observers.

The physical constant μ0, commonly called the vacuum permeability,
permeability of free space, or magnetic constant is an ideal, (baseline)
physical constant, which is the value of magnetic permeability in a
classical vacuum.

Ken Shoulders has taken out a patent for the remediation of nuclear waste
through electrical discharge.

Ken believes that the vacuum permeability can be changed in direct
proportion to charge separation in proximity of the waste.
Solar flare activity could increase charge separationon earth  thereby

That was an interesting video, but no attempt was made to measure output energy 
compared to input energy as far as I could tell.  That is the kind of 
information that we need if we are to accept that it works.  


It is my suspicion that this type of machine behaves more like an electric 
motor than a heat engine and of course electric motors put out less mechanical 
energy than they require electric energy for drive.  Also, Electric motors run 
moderately warm due to high efficiency which is similar to the claims of Papp.


I was considering a test that would demonstrate excess output energy of a 
single cylinder experiment if it appears.  Place a calibrated weight such as 10 
kilograms on the piston rod and fire the engine.  Carefully measure the heigth 
that the weight reaches before it begins to fall back and then calculate the 
net change in potential energy.  Charge up the capacitors to a know energy 
level and derive the small energy required to fire the spark gap from this 
charge.  Power should be disconnected from the capacitor bank prior to the 
drive pulse.  It should be easy to calculate the energy stored within the 
capacitor bank both before and after the weight has been shot into the air.  
Determine how much electrical energy was drawn from the capacitor bank and 
compare it to the potential energy acquired by the weight.

I know I sounds like the typical cold fusion denier, but cold fusion has been 
replicated and can be demonstrated currently.  Why not require the same level 
of proof for the Papp devices?

To my best knowledge, the Papp engine is the only over unity invention to have 
ever received an American patent.
The self-powered Papp engine was tested by independent and objective parties 
and certified under oath to be functional and witnessed to produce over 100 
horsepower.
The Papp reaction was tested under the supervision of the navy and observed by 
defense contractors to split open and shatter a 6 inch diameter 3/8 inches 
thick steel gun  barrel when its projectile jammed in that barrel.
An isolated and completely self-powered Papp engine produced sufficient power 
to explode with such force to kill and injure multiple observers.
IMHO, the Papp reaction has proven to be more viable than any other over unity 
devices with a COP of infinity.

Axil, it has not been proven that the Papp engine is capable of performing as 
advertised.  I have serious doubts from what has been demonstrated to date and 
it is wise to continue to pursue technology that we know exists.


Can you point me to a recent demonstration that actually shows a Papp engine 
generating mechanical power that is measurable?  All I recall so far are some 
interesting experiments that are basically a one hit pony.  We need to see a 
continuously running machine.


I would like very much to believe that the Papp concept is valid.  So far I am 
not convinced.

Gibbs is wrong. There are many roads to over unity energy production. 
Eventually the top over unity performers will win out. The production of heat 
from LENR is the least desirable, efficient and resource intensive of those 
various over unity energy production methods.
As a superior engineering approach, I favor the Papp reaction which extracts 
energy out of the quantum foam. 
Its conversion efficiency of pressure to electricity is in the high 90’s 
percentages with little or no heat production.
The reactions typically referred to as cold fusion will be discarded as 
antiquated and resource intensive when compared to the Papp reaction.
The Papp reaction does not modify the nucleus of the noble gases that carry its 
energy content so no waste products are produced.
These minuscule 500 CCs of noble gases that enable the Papp reaction do not 
deteriorate for many years and are essentially indestructible. 
These noble gases do not produce toxic or radioactive wastes and this clean gas 
phased single stage electrical generation operating regime reduces the total 
cost of electric power production from the Papp reaction to the absolute 
minimum.
Coupled with Papp electric generators, zero heat producing electric LED 
lighting will not add to the urban heat load.

For once I have no objection! He says nothing unreasonable.


I posted the following response:





Gibbs is correct. The problems he describes may occur with cold fusion. These 
problems -- and others -- have been discussed by several people since the 
discovery of cold fusion, especially: Martin Fleischmann, Stanley Pons, Arthur 
C. Clarke, David Nagel, Michael McKubre, Michael Melich, Eugene Mallove, 
Anthony Lovins, Jeremy Rifkin, Adm. Sir Anthony Griffin and me. I described 
some of their conclusions in chapters 11, 12 and 19 of my book, “Cold Fusion 
and the Future.” The book is here:

And please no group that have even claimed the possibility of life on Mars.
Moreove the claim have to be published and validated in peer reviewed
article from magazine who never pretend that possibility, and still do,
even after publishing.

without those constraints, science will take the risk to make errors. If
you cancel any opposing view, there is no risk of seeing any errors. Good,
and validated method. Works in Churches and political parties too.

not really a joke.

Anyway allowing dissent, does not mean dissenters are right.
Closed mind works most of the time. That is the cause of the problem.
