.Mr. Dickenson-

 

I find nothing in your comments to disagree with, even the UV lights in a
HVAC system.  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.

Hi, 

 

Thank you for your thoughts.  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!

This worldwide festival at the start of Lent is also celebrated in Spain and

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

Sadly accurate numbers may be hidden away in what is normally a higher than

There's a nice little SciFi short story about this (sorry, can't remember

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.

RE: [Vo]:Cold Fusion Bomb

2012-10-20 Thread John Newman
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.  Does HAARP forecast the 
weather accurately??

What we are talking about here is the use of the 666 machines geometry to 
induce a self emf whereby the component due to self induction arrives “ahead” 
of the normal 3 phase rotation from the source line connections. This magnetic 
field component as an additional source of current on the windings does not

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

Moving from the vac tube end of the spectrum to larger sizes, there is scope
for closer examination of heavy duty industrial processes.  Welding RD
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.

I couldn't find any reference in a quick search to accumulated

Nuclear fusion takes place at fairly low energies, merely with a very low
