Wednesday I read an item on using UV lights to deactivate viruses on N-95 masks. I will send a link. I have long though that a low dose is necessary to allow a weak immune system to work to generate anti-bodies before the virus get too many cells infected and is reproducing at a rapid rate. I will add to this email with some research and current reporting links that address the issues you bring up tomorrow. Thanks for your input to this complex world problem.

I happened to catch your post when I was looking for Promed emails in my inbox. A discussion that I saw talked about how the size of the virus load (the inoculum) may affect disease progression. They said that getting a few virions from touching a handrail may lead to a longer and milder buildup to symptoms (if any) than receiving a huge load of virions (for example , being coughed at directly in the face), which may lead to a very rapid onset of worse symptoms. (In the latter case, the immune system has to fight many battles at once while trying to learn about the enemy; whereas in the first case, it can take some time to learn and mount a response.) So the severity of some of these outbreaks may be a direct function of how efficiently the infected (both symptomatic and asymptomatic) infected the never infected. An interesting article about a town in Italy that checked everyone is at https://www.newsweek.com/coronavirus-mass-testing-experiment-italian-town-co vid-19-outbreak-1493183 They actually found people who were infected but were asymptomatic. Once all the infected were quarantined, the infection basically died out. IMHO, The big problem in this epidemic is that there are a percentage of asymptomatic (or minimally symptomatic) infected people, who go around (inadvertently) infecting others. It's a perfect design from the virus' point of view, not so much from ours. SO it looks like test, test, test and isolate all who test positive - symptomatic or not. And as we do over here in Asia, everyone wear a mask - whether feeling well or not. One other thing no one seems to talk about is using UVC lights (LED, florescent, deuterium) to disinfect things. Also there exist florescent UVC lights that are designed to fit into HVAC vents to kill bacteria, mites, and viruses. A comment (on a video) by an electrician in a large building was that when the UVC lights in the HVAC ducts were working, the absenteeism reduced by 30%, and likewise increased by a similar amount when they were out of order (evidently the management took its time repairing things when they broke or so I infer). I know this is anecdotal data, but it begs consideration. And it's a cheap solution for all central HVAC systems (even those on cruise ships). Oh well, my 2 cents. Stay well everyone!

It seemed at first like a statistical outlier as there was a fairly long delay and cause-and-effect are always a politically touchy subject. This worldwide festival at the start of Lent is also celebrated in Spain and Italy and elsewhere, under different names. Italy, Spain and New Orleans are three areas of the World where the virus spread extremely rapidly. Coincidence, omen or what? It is hard to think that all three instances are not connected to a common statistical model. OTOH if there is a direct connection to the dynamics of viral spread with Carnival, then why was Rio, the biggest party of all - left out from the devastation? ... or was it? Sadly accurate numbers may be hidden away in what is normally a higher than average death rate - and the worst viral devastation of all has yet to be announced.

The basic theme is that trade is in concepts rather than objects, since these are readily exchanged, and of value to many. Exactly. Concepts, and the templates for replicators. (Replicators are universal production machines that can make anything.) I doubt we will ever be able to communicate with an alien species enough for practical purposes, but if in the distant future people colonize other stars, I can well imagine a stream of data between the other stars and our solar system. It would include things such as: News & gossip Scientific research Patents and intellectual property Replicator templates for everything from new machines and recent works of art, to new kinds of food, ready-to-eat meals, and possibly new species or important people. If another Einstein is born on Alpha centauri they may send us a copy of him. Novels, movies Pornography! It is a little difficult to imagine how we might pay for this kind of "trade." How could this be a commercial transaction in any sense? Do you wire transfer money to people you can never have physical contact with you? I assume that a spaceship will take decades or centuries to reach even the closest star. What is the point of sending valuable physical objects or currency to someone's great-great grandchild? Would you fax them a check? How would they cash it, with what organization? Who would keep track of the balance, and why? Would you send them a barrel of currency? Why not send them one dollar in a replicator template and tell them to reproduce it. Actually, cash money will soon be rendered useless and ridiculous by replication machines here on earth. Within a few centuries we will be able to make perfect copies of currency, and probably diamonds or even gold coins, if we learn to transmute elements. I have heard that a good computer scanner and printer can already make a counterfeit dollar bill that fools a change machine or a MARTA ticket machine. Anyway, such "trade" will be useful for stars within ~30 light years. After that, the new technology will be old, and the news will be history. See chapter 10 of "Profiles," "Space, the Unconquerable" Quote: "[Interstellar] space can be mapped and crossed and occupied without definable limit; but it can never be conquered. When our race has reached its ultimate achievements, and the stars themselves are scattered no more widely than the seed of Adam, even then we shall still be like ants crawling on the face of the Earth. The ants have covered the world, but have they conquered it -- for what do their countless colonies know of it, or of each other? So it will be with us as we spread outward from Mother Earth, loosening the bonds of kinship and understand-ing, hearing faint and belated rumors at second -- or third -- or thousandth-hand of an ever-dwindling fraction of the entire human race. Though Earth will try to keep in touch with her children, in the end all the efforts of her archivists and historians will be defeated by time and distance, and the sheer bulk of material. For the number of distinct societies or nations, when our race is twice its present age, may be far greater than the total number of all the men who have ever lived up to the present time." - Jed
RE: [Vo]:Cold Fusion Bomb
If incorrect, there is perhaps not too much to worry about. However, most commercial sources of nickel carry a low level of cobalt, of the order of 1 weight percent. For many non-nuclear engineering purposes this is of no consequence, nickel and cobalt being sufficiently similar chemically and metallurgically. If such a device is constructible, depending on the transmutation mechanisms operating, there is a therefore a likelihood that gross contamination of the surrounding area with radioactive cobalt-60 could occur following detonation and settlement of the fall-out. An ordinary non-radioactive cobalt shell was hypothesised to surround the (probably mythical) Soviet "Doomsday bomb" 50 years ago. This Strangelovian device was reputed to carry sufficient cobalt to guarantee sterilising all life on earth, but that was on a 60-90 megaton H-bomb. With luck, and wind in the right direction, a 20-kiloton yield may only suffice to sterilise a medium sized country.

This magnetic field component as an additional source of current on the windings does not appear to predominate the line current volume, but initially in the fullest field state, it only adds its current for half its beat frequency and opposes that current for the second half cycle of the beat frequency; all causing a small amount of total AC cyclic change to appear on the output as a much slower rise and fall of amperage on the actual AC circuit. However when that component is asked to do work on another component via air core primary/secondary relationships deemed feasible by the spiral geometries high mutual coupling; an astounding thing is observed, now the higher frequency self induced component as primary amperage begins to approach the value of the line connection voltage and amperage to such a degree that when it opposes that line voltage it also reduces that line voltage to load to such a degree that the input now appears with a significant pulsing factor superimposed upon the normal stable AC line freq. Another rotating magnetic field at a slightly higher frequency has been “Induced” by employing spirals of the highest mutual inductance on the phasings themselves and made to interact at 1/6 cycle BETWEEN PHASINGS for Lenz law effects where those effects normally take 1/4 cycle to assume themselves. Then the lenz law effect will actually be the result of an advanced phase rotation beyond the phase itself where this effect actually, apparently recycles itself, cycle after cycle, where
RE: [Vo]:New Wired UK article
Moving from the vac tube end of the spectrum to larger sizes, there is scope for closer examination of heavy duty industrial processes. Welding R&D literature could be a rich hunting ground for baffled asides citing annoying post-welding impurities. On the other hand, an ab initio fresh start on welding might commence with experimentation using hyper-pure raw materials of species having a single stable isotope, such as aluminium (http://www.webelements.com/aluminium/isotopes.html for example), with painstaking spectrographic analysis of good provenance before and after welding. It would be interesting to see what could arise as 'impurities' after welding with the huge range of different welding processes and, indeed, with variations on welding input parameters, both within and outside those conducive to production of a technologically sound weld. Even further along this spectrum we get into seriously heavy duty stuff such as electric-arc steel making, an introduction to which (probably long-term stable!) is at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_arc_furnace My first viewing of the movie "Alien", many years ago, brought the seemingly organic twitching and writhing of the power supply cables on such furnaces to mind, particularly during the process of melting down a fresh batch of cold steel scrap. But transmutation in the electric steel foundry never crossed my mind as a summer student first seeing this in 1957. Fortunately, I suppose, or I would have had a short and unhappy career. As for what actually goes on in weld pools and such like, the jury may not even be selected yet. I believe several other 20th Century theoretical works that don't seem to have been cited in CF/LENR literature have an essential part in providing a scale-invariant matter-wave basis for understanding the outcomes of condensed state interparticle encounters. If this is of interest I will provide such, and I'm happy to participate in any theorising, particularly if half-baked contributions are acceptable. -Original Message- From: Abd ul-Rahman Lomax [mailto:a...@lomaxdesign.com] Sent: 16 September 2012 02:39 To: vortex-l@eskimo.com; vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: Re: [Vo]:New Wired UK article At 06:41 PM 9/15/2012, David Roberson wrote: >I would be surprised if no one has done extensive research into these >transmutations.

I couldn't find any reference in a quick search to accumulated transmutations in a triode. However, it's not surprising if there are such. Nuclear fusion takes place at fairly low energies, merely with a very low rate. If there are years to accumulate the product, one might find all kinds of things. Yes, it could be interesting, but "how this happens" wouldn't be a big deal, necessarily. Nothing here to "sweep under the table," unless the rate of transmutation is substantially different from what would be expected from theory. Anyone got a reference to an actual report of transmuted elements from vacuum tubes?
