[Vo]:Gibbs: Cold fusion and unintended consequences
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.

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

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.

Re: [Vo]:Gibbs: Cold fusion and unintended consequences
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. - Jed

Re: [Vo]:Steven Jones: Excess heat is real, but probably not nuclear
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.

Re: [Vo]:Gibbs: Cold fusion and unintended consequences
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.

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. - Jed

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?

Re: [Vo]:Gibbs: Cold fusion and unintended consequences
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.

Re: [VO]: More support for variable radioactive decay rates...
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 causing a changing vacuum permeability to accelerated nuclear isotope decay rates.

Re: [Vo]:Gibbs: Cold fusion and unintended consequences
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.
