Ah!  Then that is a start on an answer to my request for a chronology
stated in my prior response:

I guess what might help buy this enough to start diving into the theory
more seriously would be a chronology of the genesis of this theory to see
to what degree Mills is guilty or innocent of what he accuses others:  at

would need to separate all of the nucleons).  This makes some kind of O → 8

have to beta decay to protons in order to get molecular H2.  Each beta

It's actually the other way around. Mills came up with the theory first, then
started looking for ways to realize practical benefits from it.

Initially he suggested that nuclear reactions were possible, but practical
experience has led him to conclude that they are not happening at any
appreciable rate (at least in his own experiments).

Personally, I suspect this is because he works primarily with low "p" value
Hydrinos, i.e. mostly p = 4.

Well, since we're talking about NASA & impossible space drives...

Excerpt of heavily encrypted PDF file

Proposal by Quantum Potential Corporation in response to 2011 NASA

http://www.quantum-potential.com/ACT%20NASA.pdf

NASA, U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force have commissioned a number of
interesting yet disjointed studies on asymmetric capacitors with the goal
of evaluating their usefulness to propulsion applications. The nature of
propulsive forces arising in asymmetric capacitors under high voltage was
attributed to mysterious Biefeld–Brown effect, which hinted at new physics.
Thorough examination by the aforementioned government agencies have
conclusively proved that thrust in atmosphere is definitely due to ionic
wind as the magnitude of the observed force closely matches ion transport
calculations. Consequently, no thrust was observed in high vacuum. However,
propulsive forces were noted when an electric arc jumped between the
capacitor electrodes. Because ablation was the only logical conventional
explanation, none of the studies pursued the subject further. The 2004 NASA
study commissioned by NASA Breakthrough Propulsion Project was the only one
to cast a shadow of doubt on the ablation hypothesis: the calculated mass
loss was not supported by observations. Clearly, some other hitherto
unknown mechanism must be at play. If this mechanism is genuine, it may be
a manifestation of “new physics” with far reaching consequences and
immediate applications in space propulsion (e.g., purely electromagnetic
momentum exchange propellantless propulsion). Because of the potential
importance of an unambiguous identification of the nature of the propulsive
force arising from an asymmetric capacitor arcing in vacuum, we propose an
experiment that will a) accurately measure thrust resulting from the arc
(better than 104

N); b) accurately measure material loss due to ablation (better than 104

g); c) account for parasitic effects due to electrostatic/electromagnetic
interaction with vacuum chamber walls . To our knowledge no such experiment
has been performed. The experiment will be performed in a bell jar vacuum
chamber (<105

Torr) using torsion balance similar to the one employed in the 2004 NASA
study.


 Confirmation of thrust without ablation will be a truly significant
accomplishment of American science (with significant public benefit)
indicating that new and hitherto unrecognized phenomena may be at play.
This discovery will have far reaching consequences for science and
technology and thus corresponds for high payoff research. We may be only
$116,000 dollars away from the next major technological breakthrough. At a
very minimum successful confirmation of ablationless propulsive force will
lead to development of new generation of propellantless thrusters for near
Earth maneuvering and deep space travel that will markedly reduce the cost
of space missions and may even solve the space junk problem (see Section
10). Numerous other applications will follow.

 That's not what I'm talking about.  Its more like someone accidentally
discovers steam power but can't really reproduce it because Newton's laws
of mechanics had been buried in ad hoc nonsense for a century -- and then
James Watt not only invents the steam engine but comes up with Newtonian
mechanics to make the phenomenon reproducible and commercializable.

The Eugene Podkletnov anti gravity theory is based on rotating magnetic
fields. The connection might be that RF is produced by rotating electrons.
The microwave vibrations will induce spin rotation in the matter that fills
space and that might include the spins of virtual particles emerging from
the vacuum.

A household microwave heats water by rotating the water molecules in the

this is the 3rd test, done with different metrology, and with many cross
checking documented on EmDrive (like changing turn...)

as Ed Storms says in his books, when a phenomenon survive to the change of
the measurement setup(shawyer, chinese, nasa), and is similar in different
setup(emdirve, qdrive)  that share a common thing (resonance, asymmetry,
microwave), there is a great chance something real linked to the core
technology is happening... and not independent artifacts that conspires
independently to fool scientists.

however the ideas of shawyer about the theory have no strong reason to be
good, so his computation on how to improve it...  he have good hint, no
more...

about the theory the idea that the EmDrive is surfing, rowing, sculling on
the virtual particles of the void is the most reasonable I've heard.

I don't need no violation of any conservation law... just less unchecked
assumption (as for LENR).

I assume you are implying that it's a miracle that a true genius occasionally

>

This is not a miracle if one enables the other, which in this case is also
likely. I.e. if Hydrinos are real, then it's highly likely that they will lead
to enhanced nuclear reaction rates, due to enhanced tunneling rates at closer
proximity (hence the conflation).
Note that while Mills concentrates on lightly shrunken Hydrinos, severely
shrunken ones could get very much closer to a target nucleus, enhancing the
reaction rate by very many orders or magnitude as the separation distance
appears in the exponent of the tunneling time formula, as I'm sure you are
aware.
(Assuming the two new energy sources you are referring to are Hydrinos and
LENR).

Terse, eh? Military applications, eh?  Yes, it is all coming into focus, so to 
speak, and this could be BLP’s salvation, instead of civilian uses. Hope the 
questioner was not escorted out of the demo.

 

For a long time, I was convinced that the BLP microwave thruster had made its 
way into an “unannounced” military program. There was not a huge energy gain in 
that device, as has been mentioned here - but the potential for improvement 
seemed to be there and for a particular use. At least that thruster would have 
put the strategic planners in the Beltway on notice of the capabilities of a 
new technology (which few can doubt does produces copious amounts of bright 
photons).

 

Moreover, going back 30 years to Ronnie’s reign, the Pentagon has been obsessed 
with beam weapons … and for good reason. The strategic planners have realized 
for a long time that shrinking-chip technology can be employed to direct any 
weapon far more accurately than the capability of a solid projectile to be 
steered, so a pulsed beam weapon should be orders of magnitude more deadly, if 
they could just get enough power into the beam, especially if a sub-second 
pulse. Wiki has a pretty good entry on the x-ray laser but perhaps a focused, 
mixed-spectrum beam is as good or better. 

 

It’s a short drive from Bethesda, or anywhere in the beltway, to Cranbury. A 
drone carrying a beam weapon, even if “only” consisting of a lens-focused beam 
of bright light, possibly made semi-coherent (superradiant) by the arcing 
process, could be a game changer for weaponry - in such places as the 
Pak/Afghan border region, and anywhere else for that matter. 

 

The collateral damage done by conventional missiles fired by drones has 
curtailed their use to a very minimum. If the Military could just take-out the 
terrorist only, and not his 4 wives and 16 children, we could be outta that 
part of the world in a few months. At least that is the underlying logic, to a 
strategic planner. Instead of a few missions per month it would be a few per 
hour.

 

Indeed, this suggestion could be showing my lack of credentials as a wannabe 
strategic planner, but it would seem that a focused beam would change 
everything. 10,000 suns for 200 msec sounds about right. Any longer and the 
lens is destroyed. Any shorter and it is severe sunburn, instead of bar-b-qued 
frontal cortex. We have seen that individual terrorists can be identified from 
5 miles up by an invisible eye-in-the-sky, but not singled out by its 
weapons... not yet. Many Pakistani officials want to get rid of “only the 
terrorist” if collateral damage to innocents is eliminated. Al-Qaida is a 
threat to them, more so than to us. 

 

If this speculation is off-base, then as fiction - it is time for a sequel to a 
movie or two… yet truth is often stranger than fiction. I hate to say it though 
– the salvation of Mills technology could be RR’s Ray-gun, finally making its 
way into prime-time.

>From the "Demonstration Day link:

 

On June 25th, BlackLight performed its second preannounced public demonstration 
of its breakthrough technology to a group of distinguished attendees that 
spanned the spectrum of professionals. Specific events included: ignition of 
H2O-based solid fuel, calorimetric energy balance determination, EUV 
spectroscopy of the hydrogen transitions to hydrinos, theory, technical, 
engineering, and commercialization presentations, BlackLight’s 
Electricity-Generation Demonstration of Automated Ignition System of Vibratory 
Conveyor-Fed H2O-Based Solid Fuel Powder, BlackLight’s Demonstration of 
Automated Ignition System of Auger-Fed H2O-Based Solid Fuel Powder that was 
repeated with Photovoltaic Conversion of Light to Electricity, and question and 
answer sessions with participation by two validators including a defense 
company licensee. [Bold Italics, mine].

 

The response came from one of the two validators answering a question from the 
audience. Could there be defense applications? In a nutshell, yes. He was 
pretty mum about it. The terse response disturbed me.

yes (my quick answer was dond on my address, not on the vortex reflecto),
it is an old news... just some recent void answer ...

what is fascinating is the double standard in pinpointing details, beside
not understanding the problem of magnitude.
it is typical pseudo-science, conspiracy theory, denialism, as some skeptic
groups love to name it. They sometime have good arguments, except that they
forget to apply to themselves.

Re: [Vo]:Italian minor, sucess in cold fusion... any more info

2014-07-31 Thread Alain Sepeda
basically it is plasma in electrolytic cell, with H2O split by
electrolysis, then H2 split by high current creating a plasma, and
recombinating befause of high temperature.
the question is whether the LENR reaction add some energy to the electric
energy provided...

it seems easy to make, but the electrodes are destroyed quickly and
calorimetry is very hard, and have to be conclusive before the electrodes
are destroyed.

 it seems to be a Mizuno, but very few details...

 does anyone have better data?

 At 13 reproduce the cold fusion

 The experiment of three boys in the garage of the home of one of them:
 "No minor he had succeeded"


  Pistoia also has its own "via Panisperna boys."Matthew and Ivan are
 Matteini Perrella, with the collaboration of Julia Ricciardi. Compared
 to Fermi, Amaldi, Majorana and other eminent physicists, very young, in the
 thirties of the last century realized in the laboratory, the first nuclear
 reactor, physicists Pistoia are still young, very young indeed.They
 have 13 years old and attending the 3rd Q of the school Marconi Via
 Puccini. Early last month have carried out an experiment in the garage
 at home, they say confidently documented, "the only juvenile in the world
 to have succeeded."This is the cold fusion. The cold nuclear fusion,
 advocated for decades by scientists not only because it would allow to
 produce nuclear energy without producing temibilissime slag, is a generic
 name given to the alleged nature of nuclear reactions, which would occur at
 pressures and temperatures much lower than those needed for obtain nuclear
 fusion "hot", for which are instead necessary temperatures of the order of
 one million kelvin and plasma density very high. Many scientists are
 skeptical: to date, the very existence of these phenomena has not been
 demonstrated conclusively, on the contrary to the prevailing opinion in the
 scientific community is that all the evidence proposed to be due to
 measurement errors or non-nuclear phenomena. The fact is that the boys
 have done the experiment Pistoia, reproducing, as they called the same guys
 they shot a video on Youtube, "a star in a jar.""Thanks to my father,
 an engineer in 'electronic company - says Matthew, who loves physics and
 experiments since piccolossimo, while Ivan is the computer of the group -
 and Julius Nesti who supported us in logistics, we could set up the garage
 at home mine with all the necessary equipment: voltmeter, ammeter,
 herzometro and what you need to succeed. A basic table for discharge
 to the ground, otherwise it ran the risk of being electrocuted terrible, or
 burned by temperatures in the range of 3-4000 degrees or, again, it
 exploded all over. "The experiment, which took place on January 3,
 eventually succeeded after twenty black smoke. "The whole thing lasted
 about half an hour, no more and left us amazed, as well as very 
 satisfied." The
 first practical and tangible result of the "fusion" describe the boys: "We
 have produced a soapy liquid that does not produce any toxin and we washed
 their hands." An effect of the experiment, tell Matthew and others,
 was to be put out of televisions and mobile phones due to the strong
 electromagnetic field. At school, classmates and teachers are proud of
 their young scientists, but would point out the teacher of astronomy, "they
 did it all by yourself."
