[Vo]:AI learns to solve quantum state of many particles at once

[Mats Lewan]

Always thought AI could be effective in LENR research.
Either by letting a system like IBM Watson scan all published LENR papers and 
look for patterns or answer questions, or, like in this case, using a neural 
network for solving complex quantum states:

I guess these researchers are not familiar with LENR research.

[Vo]:Re: [Vo]:Re: [Vo]:RE: [Vo]:Re: [Vo]:Patent application by Lundin & Lidgren – nuclear spallation and resonance

[Mats Lewan]

I talked briefly with Lundin today.
He explained that he and Lidgren are not going ahead together for various 
reasons at the moment.
However, he’s convinced that the most likely explanation for excess heat is 
transmutation rather than fusion, and that transmutation involves spallation 
and capture of neutrons. The combination of these two, in a way that releases 
net energy, would be what is new with the model described in the patent.
He also said that he doesn’t really follow the field and what others have done, 
but he will continue on his own for some time ahead with more ideas on how to 
make the spallation-capture process work effectively. 
Clear experimental results within a not too distant future would be necessary 
for him to apply for research funding, and I had the impression that he hadn’t 
really achieved satisfactory results so far.

Re: [Vo]:Is Rossi sick?

[Mats Lewan]

Yes Axil, 

I spoke to Holmlid, and one thing that he underlined was possible large amounts 
of muons from the reaction, and that muons were hard to detect. He said that 
that he suspected that also LENR reactions could have this effect, without LENR 
experimenters knowing it.

Re: [Vo]:the expected LENR Surprise Rossi's long time test over!Re:

[Mats Lewan]

Jed,
I would expect the 350-day term to be a condition in some kind of agreement, 
e.g. something between IH and Rossi.
To me it looks like a condition set up by managers, not engineers, who want to 
find a water proof condition for making sure the technology is valid, not only 
for themselves but also for convincing customers and the public. Thus not for 
convincing engineers only. 
In this sense, from an engineering perspective, you could say the story is 
incomplete. 

I also think you should make a distinction between the Lugano report and this 
one. 
The Lugano report were produced by academics, whereas I expect this one to be 
produced by experienced industrial experts/engineers. 
A part from taking some time to analyse all data and produce a report according 
to internal standards for the certifying institute, whichever it is, I guess 
there’s also the issue that IH, Rossi and the client have to agree on what to 
report to the public, and when. 

So even though I have reported that sources say the result was successful, I 
know nothing of the evaluation the third party is doing, and it could of course 
be different.

Re: [Vo]:Heat and electricity

[Mats Lewan]

Harry, regarding heat into electricity conversion, Professor Eli Yablonovitch 
of the University of California seems to be doing some interesting stuff, as a 
side effect of having found a way to throw out photons with sub bandgap energy 
from photovoltaics.

I’ve seen some hints, like this poster from last year:
http://www.zeplerinstitute.ac.uk/sites/www.zeplerinstitute.ac.uk/files/yablonovitch_lecture_poster_web_0.pdf

"Thus the effort to reflect band-edge luminescence in solar cells has 
serendipitously created the technology to reflect all infrared wavelengths, 
which can revolutionize thermo-photovoltaics.  We have never before had such 
high rear reflectivity for sub-bandgap radiation, permitting step-function 
spectral control of the unused infrared photons for the first time.  This 
enables conversion from heat[iii] to electricity with >50% efficiency.  Such a 
lightweight “engine” can provide power to electric cars, aerial vehicles, 
spacecraft, homes, and stationary power plants.”

I couldn’t find the full paper though.

WASHINGTON – In support of the Administration’s goal to produce more 
carbon-free energy, today the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced the 
selection of two companies, X-energy and Southern Company, to further develop 
advanced nuclear reactor designs. These awards, with a multi-year cost share of 
up to $80 million for both companies, will support work to address key 
technical challenges to the design, construction, and operation of next 
generation nuclear reactors.

“In order to ensure that nuclear energy remains a key source for US electricity 
generation well into the future, it is critically important that we invest in 
these technologies today,” said Secretary Moniz. “Public-private partnerships 
to develop advanced nuclear capabilities will enable low-carbon nuclear energy 
to power America for years to come.”

Acknowledging a groundswell of startup companies developing advanced nuclear

facilitate and finance innovation in nuclear power. Called the Gateway for 
Accelerated Innovation in Nuclear , 
the program will “provide the nuclear energy community with access to the 
technical, regulatory, and financial support necessary to move new or advanced 
nuclear reactor designs toward commercialization.”

Re: [Vo]:I.H. presentation given in China

[Mats Lewan]

Some interesting info in the Chinese reports from which the slide show was 
picked: 
- Sino-US Science and Technology International Innovation Park was inaugurated 
on Oct 18 in the presence of Tom Darden. 
- The park will initially have more than 20 companies from the US and other 
countries, and investments of 15 bln yuan (USD 2.5 bln) are made.
- fields involved are "Internet +", low-carbon environmental protection, new 
energy, new materials, bio-medicine, high-end equipment manufacturing.
- "The two sides reached a consensus, the introduction of advanced US 
technology and innovative ideas."
- "Thomas Darden hints: Most American innovation opportunities come from 
scientific and technological innovation-oriented enterprises. (...) I hope to 
replicate Triangle Park, North Carolina Business mode (...) in China to attract 
more US technology companies and Chinese enterprises to grow."

I don't think I have to remind how important a clean, cheap and abundant energy 
source such as LENR would be for China today, with its disastrous use of coal. 
And how easy it would be for a country like China to push rollout of LENR 
technologies without much discussions on how to regulate them.

[Vo]:Super strong glass is based on adding alumina

[Mats Lewan]

You might have heard of the Japanese researchers making glass almost as strong 
as steel.
Their paper:
http://www.nature.com/articles/srep15233 
  
The popular version here:
http://gizmodo.com/japanese-researchers-make-glass-thats-nearly-unbreakabl-1739673940
 

 

What attracted my interest was the role of alumina in this new material.
If alumina has properties that are important for Rossi’s reactors, and in 
particular since Rossi claims that he’s developing a new reactor called E-Cat X 
which will produce both heat and light, this new alumina based transparent 
glass material could be of interest.

[Vo]:China Details Next-Gen Nuclear Reactor Program

[Vo]:Publishing the Lundin/Lidgren paper

[Mats Lewan]

Several weaknesses in the paper presented by Lundin and Lidgren have been 
discussed here, as it should be.
When I gave attention to the paper on my blog I expected such weaknesses to be 
discovered and exposed. However, my reason for giving publicity to the paper 
were three:

- the authors’ claim that they had made a successful, albeit non documented, 
experiment, indicating that they might have found some kind of useful method. I 
had hoped that they would have made their planned real experiment before 
presenting the paper.
- the fairy novel introduction of the little-known phenomenon of ponderomotive 
forces in the LENR field.
- the fact that their paper wouldn’t even be considered for traditional 
peer-review, which is sad since only increased exchange of ideas in this field, 
where so many cross competences apparently are needed, will lead to progress.

Also compare with Edward de Bono’s concept of Lateral Thinking (which I refer 
to in the last chapter of my book) where one method of dealing with the brains 
tendency to pick pieces of information, one at a time (and therefore miss 
hidden paths if the pieces are presented in the ‘wrong’ order) is to consider 
also apparently ‘impossible’ paths that normally would be discarded, since they 
might lead to a possible and real goal, even though they pass through forbidden 
areas. One way of doing this is trying to see valuable pieces of a new 
proposition, even though the the theory as a whole might not be valid.

As someone pointed out, such an attitude might also encourage the authors to 
take part in the discussion here.

[Vo]:Geneste's paper / pilot wave theory

[Mats Lewan]

I’m trying to figure what connections there might be between the model 
presented by Airbus Chief Scientist Jean-François Geneste:
http://www.e-catworld.com/2015/10/17/lenr-from-experiment-to-theory-paper-by-jean-francois-geneste-airbus-group/
 

 
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1_tFmz65k8BUGc3Um92SF9xSUozbGM5ZDFIWXpRLUViMmZB/view
 

 

and the the Pilot Wave theory, originally by Louis de Broglie but recently 
getting new experimental support, possibly offering a bridge between the 
probabilistic interpretation of quantum mechanics and a more old-school 
deterministic model — the latest developments described here:
http://www.wired.com/2014/06/the-new-quantum-reality/ 
 


Mats
www.animpossibleinvention.com 

Re: [Vo]:Geneste's paper / pilot wave theory

[Mats Lewan]

I asked JF Geneste the same question and got this answer:

“The physics I propose allows giving support to a wave which is not the case of 
vacuum (in my opinion). In that sense, what I propose strongly supports the 
pilot wave theory. Nevertheless, my theory is much more general.”

He also referred to his upcoming book “The Universal Universe” which gives more 
details than the paper, and which he said will be available next week on the 
wonderdice site and probably also amazon.

[Vo]:Swedish scientists claim LENR explanation break-through

[Mats Lewan]

Essentially no new physics but a little-known physical effect describing 
matter’s interaction with electromagnetic fields — ponderomotive Miller forces 
— would explain energy release and isotopic changes in LENR. This is what 
Rickard Lundin and Hans Lidgren, two top level Swedish scientists, claim, 
describing their theory in a paper called Nuclear Spallation and Neutron 
Capture Induced by Ponderomotive Wave Forcing (full length paper here 
) 
that will be presented on Friday, October 16, at the 11th International 
Workshop on Anomalies in 
Hydrogen Loaded Metals 
, hosted by Airbus in Toulouse, France.

Right — and the chemical reaction described is the one that releases the

exothermic reaction. But it says that the fuel wafer, of modest size, will 
sustain for 180 days (and in a QA today on Ecat.com http://ecat.com/ Rossi

[Vo]:MIT designs small, modular, efficient fusion power plant

[Mats Lewan]

 Advances in magnet technology have enabled researchers at MIT to propose a
new design for a practical compact tokamak fusion reactor - and it's one
that might be realized in as little as a decade, they say. The era of
practical fusion power, which could offer a nearly inexhaustible energy
resource, may be coming near.

[Vo]:A 21st Century Case for Gold: A New Information Theory of Money.

[Mats Lewan]

I've always had doubts about economists understanding of how technology
influences and changes the world and the society over time, and consequently
also its financial and monetary realities. 

 

Renowned economist and author, George Gilde, has written the book 'A 21st
Century Case for Gold: A New Information Theory of Money', which is
discussed by Ray Kurzweil in this piece: 

 

http://www.kurzweilai.net/ask-ray-renowned-economist-and-author-george-gilde
rs-new-information-theory-of-money 

 

I think it brings out some fresh ideas on the failure of established
economic theory. 

 

Personally I'm particularly interested in the aspect of Bitcoin with a fixed
amount of money supply, making it similar to gold. Potentially this could be
an important feature if the value of human work drops to zero through
automation and the value of products and services falls drastically for the
same reason. It could be what makes Bitcoin or some similarly designed
crypto currency a winner. 

 

Note that Kurzweil points out to Gilde that supply of gold is not guaranteed
to remain fixed, in the prospect of efficient transmutation technology. A
refined algorithmic crypto currency might be more future-proof, although, as
Kurzweil writes: I have concerns about the validity of bitcoin's mining
algorithm, and the extent to which this can ultimately be algorithmically
subverted.
