Re: [Vo]:LENR+ cannot be killed

2016-10-27 Thread Jed Rothwell
My response to this blather:

"'LENR+ does not exist. It is a figment of Gluck's imagination. Ni-H cold
fusion is no stronger or more reproducible Pd-D. It may not even exist.'

That means total denial of Rossi's multiplicative excess heat but also of
the Piantelli-Focardi NiH, of Parkhomov and many other replicators, of
MFMP, Lugano experiment denial of the role of high temperatures . . ."


I said it "may not exist." That DOES NOT mean "total denial." It means
partial denial, or calling something into question. Specifically:

Piantelli-Focardi NiH -- not replicated yet.

Parkhomov -- two major attempts to replicate have been performed, at U.
Missouri and elsewhere. They included many individual tests. Both projects
failed. Parkhomov's calorimetry is poor, so I expect his results are in
error.

And many other replicators -- there are no other confirmed replicators yet.
A few others have tried, but their calorimetry has been very poor. The
tests in China failed because the thermocouples overheated and
malfunctioned in hydrogen.

MFMP -- They have not reported any success.

Lugano experiment -- they did not calibrate, and the temperature of their
device did not exceed 800 deg C. We know that because the incandescent
color was orange, and because it would have melted. There is no way they
saw excess heat.

Regarding Rossi, Penon's description of his setup, which you quoted here,
proves that his results were fraudulent. The pressure could not have been
zero (a vacuum) as he claimed. In fact, it was high enough to keep the
water from vaporizing. He did not even include an instrument to check steam
quality, because he knew damn well there was no steam. That, combined with
the problems with the flow meter explain why the heat was 50 times less
than he claimed. The only thing in the pretend customer site was a small
radiator, which was only capable of cooling ~20 kW.

Oh, that would be utterly, completely untrue.

But we do get a lot of such claims of impartiality from those who support
the status quo -- few of them actually true.

[Vo]:my first venture into marketing going in Nuts and Bolts

2016-10-27 Thread Frank Znidarsic

I build and write but never advertise.  I will try that for the first time.




Build your own Monitoring and Alarm system.  The Android app Monitoring reads 
hard wired contact statuses and then transmits user defined alarm messages.  
The messages are sent by Gmail to your phone or tablet.  The app requires 
Android M or higher, an OTC cable, and an external MIDI, ASCII, or development 
board.  Search for "Monitoring and Znidarsic" to view the app at Amazon and 
Google.  Project books are also available at "Znidarsic Science Books" at 
Amazon.  Let me know how your system worked out on the amazon blog.
