Richard Garwin of the Jasons was brought in to evaluate the experiment. He
said there is a problem because it uses K-type thermocouples which are
susceptible to errors from exposure to hydrogen. Beiting pointed out three
problems with this hypothesis:

   1. The thermocouples were shielded.
   2. The damage only happens at ~600°C and these cells were run at 300°C.
   3. The damage causes the thermocouples to show a lower temperature. If
   would reduce the estimate of excess heat, not increase it.

Garwin is grasping at straws, trying to find an excuse to dismiss the
results. He said the first thing that popped into his head, which could not
have happened and would have had the opposite effect if it could. Soon
after cold fusion began, Garwin was called in to evaluate SRI. The gist of
his report was: "I could not find an error but I am sure something must be
wrong."

Overall, I would say the people selected to give oral presentations have

Several other experimental papers impressed me. I will list them below.
Here are all the abstracts:

Here is Veritasium doing his own version Eric Laithwaite's demonstration

There might be something special about rotational motion but I think
conventional physics explains this particular situtation quite well.

In my own research I noticed something unsual from a purely mathemtical
standpoint concerning the geometric relationship between a ring and a
horizontal surface.
If the ring lays flat on the surface, then as long as the motions involved
are relatively slow, the relative motion between any point of contact
between the ring and the surface is the same whether or not the ring is
sliding uniformly over the surface (system A) or if the surface is rotating
underneath the ring (system B).

See this diagram:

If my mathematical analysis is incorrect it would be nice to know.

As a Gedanken experiment, is it possible that inertia could be have a free 
energy aspect to it, if it is slightly more persistent than thought?

Say you have a rotor that absorbs energy when accelerated and sheds it during 
deacceleration ( as loaded then) – if you quickly switch between these states, 
is it possible that it persists in rotating during deacceleration to a tiny 
degree in excess of what conservation would suggest?  Hence, overunity/free 
energy during brief moments……

2018-06-05 Thread Vibrator !
Hi John

No, i don't have physical device, or even a physical experiment - not a
great start, one would quite reasonably presume!  So, what do i have, and
why am i so excited about it?

It's just a poxy simulation.  Nothing more.  Just an interaction between
some masses - some forces are applied, some accelerations happen, PE
converts to KE, and also into more PE.

The KE is equal to the GPE value as a function of time spent gravitating (1
second).

It is unequal to the height gravitated across - substantially less than its
GMH value.

However the PE component, output by the interaction, is equal to twice the
KE.

So, from an initial GMH value of 37 J, we get a net output of 24 J in KE...
but then we ALSO get another 48 J in PE!

So 37 J of GPE has spontaneously transformed, in a single second, into 72 J
of mechanical energy - 24 J KE plus 48 J PE!

When the weight is thus re-lifted, repaying that 37 J GMH, we're left with
35 J excess energy that has been loaded into a spring.

This extra mechanical energy was sourced from an effective N3 violation,
and harnessing it (loading it into the spring) has caused a 1.4 meter drop
in the zero-momentum frame between Earth and the weight.

Hence, buy a free energy machine, get a free warp drive, and then go rant
about it on teh interwebz.  I mean, seek professional help, one way or the
other..

I assure you there can be no room for doubt or alternative interpretation
as to how and why this excess work has been performed - it is a genuine
'free' negative work integral, a product of standard force and
displacement, albeit from an N3-defying acceleration.

All component variables and parameters of each term are displayed
independently - anything that CAN be broken down into constituent terms,
has been - and so can be easily cross-referenced with one another for
internal continuity, as well as checked by manual calcs for physical
consistency.

And so this is why i'm so certain, on the back of such apparently dubious
evidence.

A sim can sometimes throw up anomolous gains from rounding errors, or
collision errors, or just bad or incorrect use of formulas.  But here,
there are no collisions, rounding errors are within micro ranges (four or
five orders below gains and entirely negligible), and like i say, all
formulas are cross-checked internally and manually.

I've focused upon 'exploding the view' of the interaction itself, to make
the gain principle as clear to follow in terms of cause and effect, as
possible, rather than further complicating things by designing it into a
'PMM' - which at this stage would probably only hinder attempts at
independent validation; and besides would seem a rather trite and
irresponsible priority for such an important discovery - the experts are
going to be able to do far more with this than i can, provided they can
actually follow the gain principle in the first place.

So it's 'just' sims.. but yet the single most compelling evidence for OU of
any kind that i have ever seen.

Seriously, it is nothing less than proof positive - comprehensive,
definitive, unassailable.

Precisely!  If we cycle this interaction using the angular - linear
example, then we're inputting momentum, to Earth, from gravity, on each
full cycle.. thus the "center of momentum" reference frame between Earth
and the weight has been shifted upwards on each cycle!  We're applying
reactionless momentum to Earth, from its own gravity field!  The net system
of Earth-plus-weight has thus become an effective warp drive - gaining
unilateral momentum sourced from its own gravity well / 'warp field'..

However there's nothing special about Earth or gravity in this interaction
either - force is force, F=mA, A=F/m, m=F/A, regardless of its provenance
or rest frame!  The 'earth' (or whatever stands in for it) is thus
momentarily accelerating upwards towards an inertially-suspended mass that
is not accelerating back down in reciprocation!

(I imagine you intended 19.62 kg-m^2-rad/sec^2 here?)
>

Beg your pardon, yes - it's just a 1 second acceleration though, so still
the same value.

That value IS 9.81 however, not 19.62 - remember we're now dealing with an
angular inertia, not a gravitating one, so the only force being applied
between it and the weight is 9.81 N / 9.81 N-m.

For 1 kg at 1 m radius assume an equal spool radius, so we're on the same
page..   the applied 9.81 N force pulls the cord whilst pushing the weight
up.  The weight thus hovers in mid air under no net vertical force, whilst
the rotor gains 9.81 p/s.  This is effectively 'reactionless' momentum with
regards to the 'closed system' of two interacting inertias - only one of
which was accelerated, but which we also wouldn't have been able to
accelerate without the other one to apply a the force against.  You're
right however that it isn't really 'closed' since it encompasses Earth, via
gravity.

Again, this is not the interaction i'm using to create energy.  But it is
an interesting example of conventional assumptions being challenged.

I meant, if we change the mass of the rotor, keeping all else equal but
changing its MoI, then the same 9.81 N force will cause the 1 kg weight to
rise or fall, instead of just sitting there vertically balanced.  Wasn't
referring to inertial torques from changing MoI on the fly.  My point was
simply to provide graphic demonstration of the equality of the two
inertias, despite having different dimensions.

Fundamentally 'inertia' is a function of how much mass has been accelerated
through how much space in how much time - this resolves angular and linear
terms.

Gravity is a 9.81 N force, so the time rate of change in momentum of a
gravitating system is 9.81 p/s, regardless of the relative nature of
radians as units of angular displacement.  Again, consider the weight
tugging the horizontally-sliding mass - no matter how heavy that
non-gravitating inertia, the rate of change in p is 9.81 p/s/kg of
gravitating mass.  This does not change when we switch the non-gravitating
mass to an angular inertia instead, irrespective of the relative units we
use to describe its velocity!

This change in momentum value as a function of time accelerating is usually
symmetrical to the momentum value as a function of GPE / GMH - so we would
calculate the same potential change in net system momentum from either the
time or height references.

But add your 'ice skater' effect into that mix and that symmetry gets
broken...

Sorry but I don't see your argument.  I am not sure what you mean by

I think i've made my point here - just because we're measuring, say, 19.62
kg-m^-rad/sec /sec^2 does not mean we're obtaining twice as much angular
momentum as another rotor with half the M

Vibrator, do you have a machine that generates energy, a device that powers
itself?

If so, then yes it is beyond question that you have done it, call me
captain obvious.

Then it is a question of if you are honest, personally I would be willing
to consider that is possible as I believe that CoE and CoM have been
violated in the past by other devices.

But really, you need to say that yes, the device powers itself if you want
to be beyond any possibility you are wrong.
If it does, then assuming you are acting in good faith, you need someone
else to replicate it.
It might be a good idea to provide a video with as much transparency as
possible to ensure people are willing to construct replicate your device.

If you DON'T have a device that can run continuously, then you really need
to disclose all the details so people can understand the principle, and
help you work out how to build out.

So really, you either should have a device that can power itself...  In
which case you should video it and help someone replicate it, have that
person sign an NDA if you wish.

Or you should be seeking help designing and building a device that can
power itself (and ideally a load).
Anything else is vanity, a waste of time etc...

So, which is it, do you want help to replicate something you have already
done?  Or to build something that you believe you have proven but not yet

At any rate, I think you can agree that some thought experiments, seemingly
applying the laws of physics as we understand them lead to some
possibilities for breaking the laws or physics as we understand them.

And if software than could calculate all of that was run and predicted some
violation, it might be correct based on out understanding and maybe in
reality too and not a glitch.

I personally doubt any of these schemes is how true violations happen, they
occur IMO by disturbing the fabric of space, mske interactions asymmetric.

Take a large loop apply a current, we see that each side of the loop 
experiences a pushing outwards.

Now, we remove one side, from the loop and replace it with capacitor plates.

No we energize a current through our broken loop and each side feels a force 
pushing away from the center.
But, we only have 3 sides now, the 4th side is a displacement current, and 
while the displacement current creates a magnetic field, on what is the force 
placed?

It would seem that where the circuit completed through the electric permitivity 
of space, it would be space that is the charge carrier, maybe it is virtual 
particles being polarized?

The point is that while this circuit will only produce thrust for a moment 
before we need to reverse our connections, we can do so and the directions all 
reverse except the direction of thrust which is the same.

This is interesting as if you can put a current, if space can be polarized, 
then it can also be thrust against!
Indeed I also thought about this situation at great length a long time ago, and 
even built a device which might have worked.  However at the time I did not 
have an RF generator so tried to drive it by exciting the circuit with 
sparking.  I did not see any effect and doing some calculations suggested that 
any effect that may be obtained with reasonable componentry will be negligibly 
small.  How do you get even a fraction of an amp to flow through a capacitor 
with large spacing between the plates!?  Only by using very high frequencies!  
And then you need the same very high frequency magnetic field to be generated 
90 degrees out of phase with the displacement current passing through the 
capacitor to produce some force.  A very difficult experiment that *might* 
achieve a negligibly small effect!
