http://clubtroppo.com.au/2014/01/02/did-hayek-support-a-basic-income-guarantee/

I based my interpretation on a passage from the "The Road to Serfdom" but
based on what he wrote in other books and what he said in a subsequent

The alternative explanation for the EUV radiation profile of the Mills
plasma system is photon cavity compression and expansion of EMF from
ambient source inside the system.



The input ambient sources include both infrared radiation from heat and
gamma radiation from nuclear reactions.



All verities of EMF waveforms with a wide range of frequencies enter these
cavities, these various waveforms and combined and rearranged into a narrow
range of EUV frequencies.



These nano-cavities are from coalescing nanoparticles that form after the
hot plasma cools immediately after spark discharge. These particles are
derived from metals, noble gases, hydrogen, volatile elements and any
crystalized combination of these elements thereof. Just about any element
or compounds can form nano-particles from plasma vapor condensation.



As these dust particles coalesce, they form piles and clumps where photon
cavities exist in the nano-spaces between  particles.

It's always good to look at the applicability of a piece of research that
is suggestive.  At 12 K, this particular effect appears at a temperature 81
times smaller than the neighborhood of 973 K (700 C) sometimes discussed in
connection with LENR.

A cooper pair is a quasiparticle -- a combination of two electrons that are
weakly bound by their interaction with phonons in the metal.  BCS
superconductivity is a delicate effect, which is why low temperatures are
needed.  When the temperatures increase beyond a certain level, far below
700 C, the heat in the environment overwhelms the effect and it disappears.

I myself first learned about the delicate nature of quasiparticles by
asking a different question, one about a "dipolariton" -- a quasiparticle
involving a photon and an electron:

http://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/23640/what-interactions-would-take-place-between-a-free-proton-and-a-dipolariton

The comments go into more detail and were very helpful.  The important
point in the present context is that the kinds of superconductivity that we
know of (normal and so-called "high-temperature") have only been confirmed
at very low temperatures.  There are details in some of the LENR
experiments that are suggestive in some respects of superconductivity, such
as a drop in resistance in electrolytic cells.  But either we should look
to other explanations first, or we should be prepared to explain how an
effect that is normally seen near absolute zero is now appearing in very
hot nickel.  If anyone on this list states with great assurance that
superconductivity is occurring in LENR, it would be good to ask for more
information about the sources they're drawing on to get to that conclusion.
 Be on the lookout for blatant non-sequitors.

Wouldn't it be lovely to know for sure if CNT are indeed part of the E-Cat
secret?

***By CNT I think you mean CarbonNanoTubes.  I doubt they are integral to
Rossi's secret.  Rossi didn't have the background.  Focardi said that his
major contribution was separating H2 gas into monoatomic H1 gas before
loading up the metal lattice.  He probably used Tungsten at first, then
switched to electrical fields, and has tried all kinds of things.  The
latest generation of ECat seems to use AC fields.  That's his "secret".


What happened after he got success using this approach is his own IP.  He
has had more time on point with working LENR cells than anyone else in the
last 10 years because he got the effect to be more easily reproducible.
The temptation for every tinkerer at that point is to go into production as
fast as possible.


Rossi is much more a tinkerer than a theorist.  If Rossi had a viable
theory, he'd have made more progress.  But he has been in a position no one
else has been:  He has been able to experimentally disprove all the
theories out there.  So when he said to Krivit that it looked more like
Electron Capture than the Small Nuclear Force, he was in a position to know
when no one else was.  Krivit, being all-in for the Widom-Larson theory,
immediately started talking Rossi down as a fraud.


In the end, I think a vibrating 1Dimensional BEC (or 1DLL) along with a
combination of theories will finally prove out.LENR will be a
complicated theoretical phenomena.

EXCLUSIVE: A cure for ALL cancers is on the way as scientists make
major breakthrough

MILLIONS of cancer -sufferers have been given fresh hope of a cure
after ground-breaking research.

By: Giles Sheldrick
Published: Thu, January 16, 2014

The breakthrough came in a 16-year study of the only -animal immune to cancer.

The discovery by an Israeli specialist was last night hailed as
"radical and potentially life-changing".

In a world first, Professor Aaron Avivi and his team found that cells
from the blind mole rat and its cousin the naked mole rat secrete a
substance that destroys cancer cells in mammals - including humans.

Experts think harvesting this substance and making it safe to digest
could wipe out a disease that kills eight million people each year
worldwide. Last night Prof Avivi, of Haifa University in Israel was
heading to London where he is due  to present his findings to
professionals.

His radical approach studied the two species of rat that both live
mostly underground - which the team discovered had led to a dramatic
evolution of their metabolism.

Blind mole rats outlive other rodents by at least 20 years with no
outward signs of ageing. Researchers have never located a cancerous
tumour on one of them.

*Nanotubes break superconducting

Posted on *Wed 15 Feb 2006  * 

Physicists in Japan have shown that "entirely end-bonded" multi-walled
carbon nanotubes can superconduct at temperatures as high as 12 K, which is
30 times greater than for single-walled carbon nanotubes. The discovery has
been made by a team led by Junji Haruyama of Aoyama Gakuin University in
Kanagawa. The superconducting nanotubes could be used to study fundamental
1D quantum effects and also find practical applications in molecular
quantum computing (Phys. Rev. Lett. 96 057001).

Superconductivity is the complete absence of electrical resistance and is
observed in certain materials when they are cooled below a superconducting
transition temperature (Tc). Physicists agree that superconductivity relies
on getting electrons to overcome their mutual Coulomb repulsion and form
"Cooper pairs". In the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory of
low-temperature superconductivity, the electrons are held together because
of their interactions with phonons -- lattice vibrations in the material.

However, 1D conductors like carbon nanotubes -- rolled up sheets of
graphite just nanometres in diameter -- are not naturally superconducting.
One reason for this is the presence of so-called Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid
(TLL) states in the material, which cause the electrons to repulse each
other and so destroy Cooper pairs.

Now, however, Haruyama and colleagues have designed a system in which there
is a superconducting phase that can compete with the TLL phase and even
overcome it -- a feat hitherto believed impossible. The system consists of
an array of multi-walled carbon nanotubes, each of which consists of a
series of concentric nanotube shells. Electrical contacts made of metal are
bonded to the tubes so they touch the top of all the shells. Conventional
"bulk junction" contacts, in contrast, touch only the outermost shell of a
tube and along its length.

Haruyama and co-workers grew their multiwalled nanotubes from a template of
porous alumina. Next, they cut the tops off the nanotubes using ultrasound
or etching techniques and then evaporated a gold electrode onto the exposed
ends of the tubes. In this way, nearly all of the nanotube shells were made
electrically active.

The Japan team find that the end-bonded nanotubes lose all resistivity at
temperatures below 12 K. According to the researchers, this is because the
TLL states are suppressed so that superconductivity can appear. Moreover,
the Tc depends on the numbers of electrically activated shells and the
physicists will now try to increase this figure by making more or all of
the shells active.

There is a company that does this in the mid IR but I believe crushed up dirty 
bottles may confuse it.


The ratio to mid IR to blue light is really profound with the #1 soda bottles 
and the
#2 milk bottles.  I was surprised how well those cloudy milk bottles 
transmitted mid IR.
The detectors are used in motion detection and optical light and are realty 
available. I should be able to get this ratio method to work.


I am still miffed by the #3,4, and 5 bottles.

your theory were condensed down to 1Dimensional physics, it could be

[Vo]:Need suggestions on plastic detection

2014-01-31 Thread fznidarsic
I am working with my friend Howard Walker.  He is in the junk plastic business. 
 The plastic bottles are worth 12 cents a pound in bulk.  If separated into 
1,2,3,4 and 5 the plastic is worth 24 cents a pound.


I found that #1 the clear coke bottle plastic if opaque to mid infrared.  I 
blocks a security lights thermal sensor.
It transmits visible light.  This was a good find as these bottles are worth 
the most separated.  A ratio detector should work well.


I found #2 milk bottle plastic is opaque to a blue LED light.  The mid infrared 
goes right through it.
A ratio detector should work well.


I have found no detection method for #5 semi clear plastic.  All light goes 
through it.  Darn!
It does, however, scatter a red laser.  I am not sure it this effect can be 
employed.


They are all transparent to a UV black light.  I did not expect this!


The bottles are all smashed up and the detection technique must be robust.  We 
will use a transmission test to avoid the
labels.  No transmission because of a label is not a condition.


They are all transparent to near IR when I check it with my video camera and a

The General fusion design is close to sonofusion. They setup a shock wave
in liquid lead to compress some hydrogen (D and T) in the center of the
liquid lead sphere.

They should use a heavy iconic liquid and cavatate it to produce the shock
wave. We know that this works to produce fusion; but this type of fusion is
not hot, it may be cold.

Yes indeed, we can find many examples of the same disfunction  
operating. The difference is, cancer can be cured. Hot fusion can not  
be made practical.


Cancer suffers from the same factors that cause LENR to be rejected  
and hot fusion to be supported. As long as cancer remains uncured, a  
lot of people will continue to make a lot of money. As long as LENR  
remain unused, a lot of people will continue to make a lot of money.  
Self interest drives the system. Ignorance drives the individual.  We  
individuals are helpless unless our combined self-interest is  
expressed more forcibly.

Its not like you can just sit back and think these things up off the top of

around to all of the proponents of alternative fusion technologies and
asking them what they considered fair.  It was surprisingly easy to get a
consensus but the problem is you have to do the leg work.

Something similar should have been done with cancer research decades ago.

out in support of prize awards for achievement of objective criteria:

http://www.oocities.org/jim_bowery/BussardsLetter.html

That legislation called only for $100M per milestone.

Imagine if the $70B that has been sunk into fusion had been placed in those
prizes.

Its not like prize awards are a radical idea:

Indeed, it is arguably the case that the British Empire would never have
arisen without them.

 General Fusion Founder to Speak at TED Conference

 Chief Scientist to highlight progress on much-anticipated fusion energy

 VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jan. 31, 2014) - When TED,
 the world's primary idea exchange, moves to its new home in Vancouver this
 year, the city and indeed Canada will be well represented when General
 Fusion founder and Chief Scientist Dr. Michel Laberge takes the stage.

 A plasma physicist with an entrepreneurial streak, Dr. Laberge started
 General Fusion in 2002 in an abandoned gas station outside Vancouver and
 has helped it grow into a pioneering force in the development of fusion
 technology.

 Dr. Laberge takes the TED stage on March 18, 2014 to talk about the
 exciting progress in the development of fusion energy - the process that
 emulates the power of the sun and creates a clean, safe, sustainable energy
 source for the world.

 He will discuss fusion technologies around the world and focus on the
 breakthrough vision that drives General Fusion. The technology, called
 Magnetized Target Fusion (MTF), could lead to the fastest and most
 economical route to a commercial application for fusion energy.

 General Fusion has become a world leader on MTF and Dr. Laberge is
 uniquely positioned to tell the story of its contribution to fusion
 innovation, and how scientists around the world are closer than ever to
 making fusion clean energy a reality.

 TED takes place in Vancouver from March 17-21, 2014.

 About General Fusion Inc.: General Fusion is developing the fastest,
 most practical, and lowest cost path to commercial fusion energy.
 Established in 2002, the company and its 60 employees are supported by a
 global syndicate of leading energy venture capital funds, industry leaders,
 and technology pioneers, including: Chrysalix Energy Venture Capital, Bezos
 Expeditions, Cenovus Energy and Sustainable Development Technology Canada.

 About fusion energy: Fusion energy holds immense promise as a clean,
 safe and abundant energy source. Fusion generates neither pollution nor
 greenhouse gases that drive climate change. Fusion energy is fueled by
 deuterium and tritium isotopes, which are easily extracted from seawater
 and derived from lithium, in abundant supply. There is enough fusion fuel
 to power the planet for hundreds of millions of years. Unlike nuclear

That is a good description.

Now let's say there is a vacuum component in our atmosphere along with the
Higgs field. If you gradually add energy to it 24/7 thru megawatts
of pulsed microwave doppler EMF, would this field not discharge that energy
to the Earth at some point, possibly increasing ionization and decay below,
like my data is showing around these radars?  Or are you military and don't
want to comment?

Re: EXTERNAL: Re: [Vo]:Higgs and LENR

2014-01-31 Thread Axil Axil
The vacuum is a spin net liquid in which subatomic particles of all
varieties  fleetingly pop into being and then are destroyed in a very short
time.

Think of these particles as a pair of counter rotating energy vortexes with
the vortex pair connected by a thin channel.

The vacuum is filled by tiny bits of transient energy with randomly
oriented quantum's of spins. Just like when light moves from atom to atom
in matter, it is on these bits of coherent counter rotating bits of energy
and there spin that photons of EMF jump from bit to bit in rapid succession
as the EMF moves through the vacuum not always in a straight line.

When a metal plate intercepts some of these spins, an attractive or
repulsive force is generated between the plates.

It is seen that the plates do affect the virtual photons which constitute
the field, and generate a net force--either an attraction or a repulsion
depending on the specific arrangement of the two plates. Although the
Casimir effect can be expressed in terms of virtual particles interacting
with the objects, it is best described and more easily calculated in terms
of the zero-point energy of a quantized vacuum field in the intervening
space between the objects.

A spin net liquid is the only medium that EMF can use as a transport medium
and it is consistent with the Maxwell equations.

http://dao.mit.edu/~wen/NSart-wen.html

In this theory of the universe where particles are energy vortexes, light
and electrons are the same and other types of matter spring from the nature
of the spin net liquid.

One reason why radioactivity is affected by LENR is because the spin net
liquid of the vacuum is affected by the huge magnetic spins produced by
LENR hotspots. LENR reactions can increase the rate of radioactive decay
through modifying the virtual particle nature of the vacuum.

The magnetic field of the sun can also effect the decay of radioactive
isotopes through vacuum modification and this is been seen experimentally
during intense sun spot activity.

These coherent bits of energy also form the superconducting medium of the
Higgs field whose resistive nature gives mass to matter.

This claim suffers from the same limitations that haunt laser fusion  
and magnetic bubble fusion (ITER). Insufficient tritium can made by  
the fusion reactor so that tritium must come from another source,  
which adds greatly to the cost. In addition, the process generates  
significant radiation and radioactive products that must be shielded,  
thereby limiting its use to large installations. Also, the device  
would be more difficult to service than is a nuclear reactor, as ITER  
has discovered. This method to cause fusion has so many limitations, a  
rational person asks why is money still being wasted? This question is  
even more important now that cold fusion has demonstrated a commercial  
generator having more plausibility than what is being shown to be the  
case using hot fusion. At what point does rational thinking take over

General Fusion Founder to Speak at TED Conference

Chief Scientist to highlight progress on much-anticipated fusion energy

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jan. 31, 2014) - When TED, the
world's primary idea exchange, moves to its new home in Vancouver this
year, the city and indeed Canada will be well represented when General
Fusion founder and Chief Scientist Dr. Michel Laberge takes the stage.

A plasma physicist with an entrepreneurial streak, Dr. Laberge started
General Fusion in 2002 in an abandoned gas station outside Vancouver and
has helped it grow into a pioneering force in the development of fusion
technology.

Dr. Laberge takes the TED stage on March 18, 2014 to talk about the
exciting progress in the development of fusion energy - the process that
emulates the power of the sun and creates a clean, safe, sustainable energy
source for the world.

He will discuss fusion technologies around the world and focus on the
breakthrough vision that drives General Fusion. The technology, called
Magnetized Target Fusion (MTF), could lead to the fastest and most
economical route to a commercial application for fusion energy.

General Fusion has become a world leader on MTF and Dr. Laberge is uniquely
positioned to tell the story of its contribution to fusion innovation, and
how scientists around the world are closer than ever to making fusion clean
energy a reality.

TED takes place in Vancouver from March 17-21, 2014.

About General Fusion Inc.: General Fusion is developing the fastest, most
practical, and lowest cost path to commercial fusion energy. Established in
2002, the company and its 60 employees are supported by a global syndicate
of leading energy venture capital funds, industry leaders, and technology
pioneers, including: Chrysalix Energy Venture Capital, Bezos Expeditions,
Cenovus Energy and Sustainable Development Technology Canada.

About fusion energy: Fusion energy holds immense promise as a clean, safe
and abundant energy source. Fusion generates neither pollution nor
greenhouse gases that drive climate change. Fusion energy is fueled by
deuterium and tritium isotopes, which are easily extracted from seawater
and derived from lithium, in abundant supply. There is enough fusion fuel
to power the planet for hundreds of millions of years. Unlike nuclear
fission reactors, fusion energy does not require uranium as fuel, cannot
suffer from meltdowns and does not produce long-lived radioactive wastes.

Dave, I personally believe the Casimir does not exist. Its effects are  
logically inconsistent with what is observed, as you note as one of  
many examples. I believe the force attributed to Casimir is poorly  
understood chemical interaction. Physics keeps it alive only because  
it fits a theory.  Consequently, it has no relationship to LENR.

apparently the magic catalyst is not able to add H to copper or  
apparently to any thing else. Each small particle of Ni would have  
to contain the magic catalyst and a large fraction of the Ni would  
have to be converted to Cu in order to account for the energy being  
claimed. Common sense is violated! Can people please consider the  
obvious and necessary consequences before applying pure imagination?  
In addition, we have no evidence that Cu is produced. Rossi even has

Re: [Vo]:Another breakthrough rejected at first

2014-01-31 Thread Axil Axil
Lise Meitner,  (7 November 1878 - 27 October 1968) was an Austrian, later
Swedish, physicist who worked on radioactivity and nuclear physics.

Meitner  discovered nuclear fission of uranium, an achievement for which
her colleague Otto Hahn was awarded the Nobel Prize. Meitner is often
mentioned as one of the most glaring examples of women's scientific
achievement overlooked by the Nobel committee. A 1997 Physics Today study
concluded that Meitner's omission was "a rare instance in which personal
negative opinions apparently led to the exclusion of a deserving scientist"
from the Nobel. Element 109, meitnerium, is named in her honor.

But Fran,  why introduce concepts have have very little support in  
conventional science and that create logical inconsistency and  
conflict with what is actually observed? The LENR phenomenon follows  
all the rules we have accepted in science. Why introduce new ideas  
that have no proof and no way to test. Obviously some novel ideas are  
required, but why use the proposed Ni+p=Cu reaction as an example?  
This reaction has absolutely no support. Why not follow paths that are  
based on what is known and only deviate when the path is blocked?  
Sorry, but I see no point in discussing an idea that has no  
relationship to what is known to occur or even present in the  
materials. The phenomenon is difficult enough to understand.

Re: [Vo]:Higgs and LENR

2014-01-31 Thread Bob Higgins
First of all, the diagram is preposterous on the surface.  He claims "1 MJ"
in a beta reaction.  Since one J = 6E12 MeV, the "1 MJ" would be 6E18 MeV
of energy in the beta - preposterous.

But, lets presume it is a typo and what he meant to say was 1 MeV instead
of 1 MJ in the beta.  Of course, beta emission is accompanied by large
statistical variation due to the neutrino that carries away random amounts
of the energy.  But, let's say that some of the beta particles are nearly 1
MeV.  When these beta particles strike the Ni or any of the walls of the
apparatus, they would create a very high energy bremsstrahlung spectrum
that would be easily detectable outside the apparatus - wouldn't they?

Re: [Vo]:Higgs and LENR

2014-01-31 Thread Roarty, Francis X
Yes, Ed it sounds strange but my position has always been based on a caveat to 
COE that says random motion of gas can never be exploited.. IMHO these gas 
atoms are translated via the Ni geometry and will normally return to ground 
state unexploited as their local  geometry changes with random motion, the 
caveat I am suggesting  becomes an option when we heavily load the Ni geometry 
with gas such that the fractional h atoms exiting the geometry do not have the 
room to return to normal  ground state which by itself still gains you nothing 
but which opens the door for all these different theories by accumulating these 
fractional atoms seeking to return to ground state. I am keeping an open mind 
to ALL the various theories for energy creation but my reason for promoting 
Arto's theory was wrt his perspective on Casimir geometry and the way he 
illustrates the field turning to propel the gas  atoms down into these smaller 
regions where they appear to be lower than ground state.. although not using 
the same language as I it appears he is coming to the same conclusions as to 
the originating source of the energy.. I am not too fond of the "neutral atoms" 
 he is suggesting but I think he has a better handle than most on what is 
setting the stage.

Fran, do you realize how strange this explanation sounds? The H has to climb 
over a Coulomb barrier having a charge of 28. We know how hard getting over a 
change of 1 is, so how is this barrier overcome so easily? Second, each Ni 
nucleus in the sea of Ni would have to experience the role of the so called 
catalyst. This magic catalyst would have to move from Ni to Ni as each was 
converted to Cu because apparently the magic catalyst is not able to add H to 
copper or apparently to any thing else. Each small particle of Ni would have to 
contain the magic catalyst and a large fraction of the Ni would have to be 
converted to Cu in order to account for the energy being claimed. Common sense 
is violated! Can people please consider the obvious and necessary consequences

Re: [Vo]:Another breakthrough rejected at first

2014-01-31 Thread Jed Rothwell
NHK's 7 o'clock news opened with a long interview with Dr. Obokata. It was
full of high praise, yet dreadfully sexist. It is hard to believe they
could be so obnoxious in the 21st century. They were astounded that she
likes to wear nice clothes and that she is just an "ordinary girl."

She said that during the long years of rejection she often cried at night,
which may have contributed to the sexism. She is honest, anyway. She seems
like a nice person, especially for someone from Hvard. (Speaking from
my own bias: you can always tell a Harvard man, but you cannot tell him
much.)

CNN and others reported this, ascribing the research to her co-author
Vacanti instead of her. I complained.
