 I draw your attention, in particular to the equation:

 *p* = µ*v* + q*A*

 This is old and accepted physics.  However, the q*A* term is addition to
 Newton's 2nd law, is it not?


No, but it saves Newton's third law from this apparent violation:
The action of accelerating a charged body in a plane perpendicular to a
magnetic field results in a reaction which is equal in magnitude but
*perpendicular* to the action.




 Moreover, it appears to be dynamic.  A number of changing physical
 quantities can affect it and not just slightly either.

 There seems to be a psychological problem involving *A*.  People keep
 making noises like it is just a computational device -- not an actual
 physical quantity.  It is this psychological problem that fascinates me.
  As the late Tom Etter alluded in the title of his Physics Essays paper 
 Process,
 System, Causality and Quantum Mechanics:  A Psychoanalysis of Animal 
 Faithhttp://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/9808011
 the analysis we should be doing may be more psychological than physical.

 Here are some preliminary thoughts:

 In physics there seem to be dimensions that crop up in interesting ways --
 two of which are action and information, with  information related to
 measurement.  Action, unless there is some good way to interpret it in
 terms of information, seems to be more immediately pertinent.  Here's a
 quote from the William O. Davis article The Fourth Law of 
 Motionhttp://www.rexresearch.com/dean/davis4.htmthat hooked me on action 
 as a proximate key:

 What form should the Equation of Motion now take if we assume a force
 proportional to the surge as well as a force proportional to acceleration?
 The simplest assumption, and one which seems to be supported by preliminary
 data, is that the new force is additive, in the same way that forces due to
 viscous drag and displacement are additive. In other words, we now write
 the equation of Motion:

 F = Ma + Aa(superdot)   (5)

 Where A is a new term which we have labeled 'intractance' and which has
 units of mass-seconds. Because the solutions of the equation in some cases
 yield the ratio A/M as the critical action time (CAT) of the system, we
 have in those cases assumed that the intractance is the product of the mass
 and the CAT:

 A = DM   (6)

 Let us now see how this equation of motion can be used to analyze and
 predict the anomalous behavior of a simple system. Starting transients
 normally are considered only in connection with the beginning or the end of
 a motion and hence are accorded no particular attention. However, there are
 certain types of cyclic motion where the transient behavior is continuous,
 or repetitive and we will see later that even certain single transients may
 have critical importance in understanding natural events.


 Note that Davis's A has dimensions of mass*time.  Dimensional analysis
 tells us that this can be viewed as action if we convert mass to energy so
 that instead of mass*time we have energy*time.

 I'll leave my comments about Davis Mechanics there for the moment since
 this special-relativisitc unity between intractance and action seems to
 me to be a lot to digest.



Lots of good stuff in the Davis Article. Maybe if Newton contemplated silly
putty instead of canon balls he might have proposed a similar second law.

The Georgia Power outage map is interesting. It shows the number of
customers affected increased from 77,132 at 9:45 to 97,450 at 10:15. There
are now 940 outages. Individual outages are not being cleared very quickly.
One at Timberland drive has been listed since this morning. It is affecting
more people than before, now at 842 customers.

I guess this illustrates the limits of parallel efforts to maintain a
network. I mean that it takes a work crew a certain amount of time to cut
branches and repair fallen power lines. It takes as long as it does, and
having hundreds of other work crews standing by does not make it go any
faster.

I expect they still have spare work crews standing by, because the news
showed hundreds of trucks coming in from out of state yesterday, and
because 940 outages affecting 97,000 customers is not a lot for an area as
large as this, with a population as high as this.

At 10:25 the number of outages has risen to 995 affecting 97,683. I don't
see any of the local ones cleared. That is not suggest the power company
crews are not working hard.

Oops! My power just dropped for a second. Back on. This is eerie, watching

As a consequence of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, nano cavities and
EMF squeezing go together. When the location of particles is tightly
confined, its momentum gets very large. This goes for both electrons and
photons confined in a nano-sized optical cavity (AKA NAE). The energy and
mass of the electron gets large, and the wavelength of the photon gets
short with its frequency going way up.



A prediction...



Furthermore, the size distribution of the NAE in a LENR system might be
determined through examining the frequency/wavelength of the soft x-rays
coming out of the system. This x-ray characterization should correspond to
a NAE size of about 1 to 2 nanometers in diameter.

Georgia Power brought in hundreds of out-of-state tree removal crews, as
well as power company repair crews. So that should not be a problem.

The fluctuations in the number of outages versus affected customers are
interesting. You can see that they fix the big outages first. It will take
them a long time to get around to fixing an outage affecting 5 customers.
The total number of outages increases even when total affected
customers decreases. It resembles the number of active oil wells in the
U.S., which has increased tremendously even as overall production falls,
meaning that average wells produces much less than they used to.

Yes. You can watch the area affected grow and then shrink as they fix the
problem. Select zoom in on one of the icons and you can see exactly which
streets are affected.

However, what I was remarking on is the fact that the work can only be done
in parallel to a limited extent. We have thousands of extra work crews in
Atlanta. Probably more than we need, because the storm was not as bad as
anticipated. So far, anyway. I expect there are more than enough crews. Yet
despite all these extra work crews, there are many outages affecting 51 to
500 customers (the yellow triangle marker) which have not been fixed all
day. I assume someone is working on them, but some things can only be done
at a certain pace. You could not fix an outage more quickly by dispatching
ten extra trucks.

This is similar to the theme of the book, The Mythical Man Month. That is
about programming projects. It makes the case that throwing extra
programmers at a project may slow it down rather than speed it up. It may
also degrade quality.


The Atlanta Journal (AJC) reports that 225,000 people have lost power, but
50,000 are already back on line. The Georgia Power website numbers are
still climbing in most of the 15-minute iterations. The total is now 1,735
outages affecting 131,490 customers. There are other power companies in
Georgia, with an additional 60,000 customers affected. These are mostly
electric power cooperatives, says the AJC.

was not now a debtor nation, and also had the good sense to look though its
own cold case files.

 

BTW - for those who have followed the overlap of LENR and CQM - the
lattice (substitute for a metal lattice) in this design, assuming that
LENR may have been involved (which is not proved or even claimed) - was
provided by mostly argon atoms squeezed to several hundred bar at TDC. where
their effective density was similar to a metal lattice. A lattice of
extremely high mobility, shall we say?

Note that Ar+ is a Mills catalyst.

Why do the physicists accept this data as being accurate and true when it is

I do not see where we differ in understanding Bob.  The system you describe had 
nearly zero total angular momentum before and after the collision so it remains 
conserved.  The rotational energy can be extracted by various means as I also 
stated.

Harry has concluded that angular momentum can not be converted into heat, which 
is always true.  He also states that angular energy can be converted into other 
forms or energy including heat.   Can you demonstrate a closed system where 
this is not the case?

Harry and Dave--Bob Cook here--

Keep in mind that the law is that angular momentum must be conserved.  However 
systems with angular momentum can also have significant energy that can be 
changed to heat.  

Take two planets in the solar system with direction of rotation in opposite 
directions.  One planet with a vector pointing to the North Star and other one 
with its vector pointing in a direction opposite to the North Star. They drift 
slowly together and eventually collide.   If they have about equal mass and 
size and collide their total angular will approach zero.  However there will be 
a lot of heat energy released.  Angular momentum is a vector quantity--energy 
is a scalar with no direction attached.   This holds for quantum systems with 
the Spin quantum angular momentum J associated with particles being a vector 
quantity.  Electrons pair up to reduce their angular momentum to zero.  Many 
quantum systems of particles tend to low spin states since low is consistent 
with the lowest energy state, and consistent with reactions that increase their 
entropy--the second law of thermodynamics.

I think you two are forgetting the vector nature of angular momentum and 
mechanisms for its conservation.

I do not agree with Harry's corollary.

Momentum is proportional to velocity directly.  The direction of the

Re: [Vo]:Nanoscale Heat Engine Beyond the Carnot Limit

2014-02-12 Thread Axil Axil
To my best knowledge, that is not how it works.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_dot


A quantum dot is like an atom with an unlimited number of electron orbitals.

As new electrons enter the dot, the electron takes on the next available
higher energy level.

More energy is required to push an electron into a highly populated quantum
dot because of the Pauli Exclusion Principle.

However, when electrons become polaritons, the Pauli Exclusion Principle
does not apply anymore because the electrons now become polaritons (bosons).

Now, only the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle (HUP) applies and a large
and growing population of polaritons will increasingly localize any given
newly created polariton to a higher energy state.

In other terms, as more electrons and photons enter the optical cavity, the
average energy of the resident particle quasiparticles goes up due to
increasing average localization of the polariton population.

Polariton optical cavities ar used to simulate astrophysical black holes.

http://arxiv.org/pdf/1104.3013.pdf

Stranger yet, the polaritons reach an equalized energy states even at high
energies and form a Bose Einstein condensate at an identical yet very high
level. This is why a polariton optical cavity is superconducting even when
it packs very high energy levels.

[Vo]:the role of p-values in science

2014-02-12 Thread Eric Walker
There's an interesting discussion of the role of the statistical p-value in
science in a recent article published online at Nature:

For all the P value's apparent precision, Fisher intended it to be just one
 part of a fluid, non-numerical process that blended data and background
 knowledge to lead to scientific conclusions. But it soon got swept into a
 movement to make evidence-based decision-making as rigorous and objective
 as possible. This movement was spearheaded in the late 1920s by Fisher's
 bitter rivals, Polish mathematician Jerzy Neyman and UK statistician Egon
 Pearson, who introduced an alternative framework for data analysis that
 included statistical power, false positives, false negatives and many other
 concepts now familiar from introductory statistics classes. They pointedly
 left out the P value.


It seems to me that normal human judgment is inseparable from the
day-to-day work of science, and that statistics is best thought of as
another tool in the hands of someone who is skilled at their work.  This
makes scientific endeavor sound a little more like art than science.  (I
think Feyerabend might agree.)

 How to know you're dealing with a skeptopath:  they won't read the

  *I'd be interested in a practical source of energy, and you keep
 hawking this like it is. Where's the beef?*

 Nah, you're just regurgitating the standard crawfishing that all
 skeptopaths do when they can no longer claim that there is no scientific
 evidence for cold fusion.

 First the refrain was cold fusion experiments cannot be repeated.

 Then, when the researchers did improve the repeatability, the refrain
 became cold fusion experiments cannot be repeated fifty percent of the
 time.

 Then, when repeatability increased past 50%, the refrain became cold
 fusion experiments cannot be repeated 100% of the time.

 Now, as some researchers repeatabiltity numbers approach 100%, the refrain
 has become the amount of power is miniscule, even if it can be repeated.

 So, the answer to your question is the beef is still growing. And an
 HONEST respondent would admit that.

 But in the not too distant future, I look forward to when LENR does
 produce usable amounts of power. I wonder what you skeptopaths will say
 then.

 Lemme guess. You can't show me the evidence to back that up, I'm supposed
 to go find it.

 Not quite. I'll give you two starting places. The first is George
 Beaudette's book Excess Heat. You can access this either by buying a copy
 (Amazon)($), or via interlibrary loan (free or $ depending on the policies
 of your local library.

 The second is Edmund Storm's collection of summaries of LENR research,
 which can easily be found with Google search terms (Edmund Storms cold
 fusion pdf). Most of the pdf's can be found at LENR-CANR.org. All are
 available free.

 Now, why don't I give you direct links?? Because I have found that there
 is no better litmus

The same charge creation process holds for the Papp engine. Charge increase
was used to feed the capacitive spark discharge of the opposing
cylinder. Smart engineering can use this  seemingly wasteful  feature
to full advantage just as Joe Papp did.

 Karpen's pile

 This device has all the earmarks of a nanoplasmonic system almost
 identical in concept if not structure to Piantelli's reactor.

 A highly pitted platinum surface is covered with an excellent dielectric,
 pure sulfuric acid(100). Gold provides the supporting substrate,

 The pits in the platinum produce optical cavities that capture heat and
 electrons that will form polariton vortexes. The uncertainty principle will
 increase the energy levels in the optical cavities as more electrons and
 photons are captured until solitons explode in a bosenova.

 The increase in EMF energy is converted into electrons and a potential is
 formed to drive a current.

 Just like Karpen's pile, Piantelli has reported the creation of charge in
 his device.

However efficient you are at utilizing electrons, it comes no where close
to the energy of annihilating them.

But maybe the electrons were already existed and simply are being
collected/transferred.

Patrick Flanagan patented an ionizer that consists of 2 circular plates
feed AC, the rate at which the ions move through the room seems anomalous.

There are other inventors that seem to conduct electrons through
insulators, and this has been found in Tesla Coils too.

So maybe it is possible to aetherically/quantum jump/slip electrons that
are suitably conditioned.
