The passage you cite mentions that Joule is concerned that when a spring is
wound it does not produce heat. If a gas behaved like a spring in addition
to heating up when compressed then it would be incorrect to infer the  heat
energy of the gas from its temperature.

I don't think the Penon report proves it didn't work.  We will find out in

The Penon report proves that the E-Cat does not work. I do not know about the 
other two. The Penon report is here:

As Harry pointed out, the burden of proof is on the claimant, and they have not

[Vo]:Re: Top Ten Viewed Quora Writers List on Time Dilation.

2017-06-07 Thread Harvey Norris
The site says the ten most viewed answers in the last 30 days. Yesterday I was 
tenth at 220 views. Today I see someone replaced me with 223 views. But my new 
standing is now 19th at 110 views. I don't understand how they count things 
here if the views can just change to half their former value. Actually I see 
what must be happening here. My three cited answers all have the word "time 
dilation" in their title. Some kind of search engine must pick up on this. But 
looking at the three answers I had in my category there was ~200, 500 and 300 
views which was over 1000. The new replacement in the top ten also had over a 
thousand views from his cited seven answers, but evidently in quora's 
measurement system, once they put you in the top ten; you get a double credit 
from the amount of actual views being recorded. What probably happened is that 
some one in the academic world said we can't have HDN in the top ten so twist 
some screws and pull some levers and make him magically disappear from the top 
ten list. Pioneering the Applications of Interphasal Resonances

That was a different experiment. I was referring to one in which he wound a
spring inside a calorimeter.

It could also mean that one way to get LENR reactions started is with the

 "Average" is not meaningful in this context. The experiment produced no
 heat for a while, then it turned on and produced ~100 W for 30 days in one
 test and 70 days in another. Computing the average including the time
 before it turned on would be like computing the average speed of an
 airplane including the time it is sitting at the gate and the time waiting
 in line to take off.

 There is no energy storage during the time before it turns on. We know
 there is none because the energy balance is zero, and because you cannot
 store that much energy.
