Re: [Vo]:Boeing Electric Airliner---LENR Application=???
We all at vortex have ignored the hexane/propane (HP) based reactors. IMHO, this reaction type is different in its operation and its reaction mechanism than what Rossi and DGT are doing. I am thinking 180 degrees out of phase different. I am talking negative polarity as opposed to positive polarity. This reactor type is not thermionic by is controlled by varying the electrical spark input into the reaction. I believe that the HP reaction is a hydrogen/carbon/nickel dry cold fusion reaction in dusty plasma. This HP reaction is based on the Rossi reaction only in inspiration but at the same time is completely original. We see reports of successful HP reactions almost weekly here at vortex and yet we are fixated on the Rossi reaction system. The HP seems to be more robust, more controllable and more stable than the Rossi reaction. Having added a catalyst to this HP reaction puts Mint Candy far ahead; head and shoulders ahead of the HP pack and fortunately Mint Candy is posting here at vortex.

Re: [Vo]:Boeing Electric Airliner---LENR Application=???
The Celani system is a LENR system as opposed to a LENR+ system. The LENR system is of limited value compared to a LENR+ system. The system that Mint Candy is working on is a LENR+ system; a potentially highly productive and manageable system which is not related to the systems approaches to Rossi or DGT. It is difficult to place any given system in its proper genus with everything being so speculative and so little know about each of them.

It can be extremely useful to incorporate 45 megawatts of LENR power into a stealth aircraft. This capability will allow the stealth aircraft designer a true UFO like performance via a hybrid ion jet engine. From the article on Military jet engines…see Under Stealth http://engines.fighter-planes.com/jet_engine.htm *Eliminating the pilot, as well as any fins, will do much to enhance stealth qualities. This will focus increased pressure on the need to devise truly stealthy propulsion system…* ** *I have numerous documents, all published openly in the United States, which purport to explain how the B-2 is even stranger - far stranger - than it appears. Most are articles published in commercial magazines, some are openly published US Patents, while a few are open USAF publications by Wright Aeronautical Laboratory and Air Force Systems Command's Astronautics Laboratory. They deal with such topics as electric-field propulsion, and electrogravitics (or anti-gravity), the transient alteration of not only thrust but also a body's weight.

Re: [Vo]:Boeing Electric Airliner---LENR Application=???
From a Rossi interview, http://pesn.com/2012/01/14/9602012_Momentous_Breakthroughs_Announced_During_Anniversary_E-Cat_Interview/ *It was also clarified that each individual home E-Cat system will utilize one reactor core. This is different than what was stated only a couple months ago, which indicates just how rapidly progress is being made. If the reactor core is the size of a single pack of cigarettes (about 85 cubic centimeters) and can produce 10 kilowatts of power, this makes the power density 117 watts per cubic centimeter -- a super high value!* Using lightweight Nantenna technology an heat to electric power conversion of over 50% can be achieved. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nantenna This anthology of anti-gravity and reactionless technology papers shows the interest that Boeing and the US research labs had it this electric propulsion technology. http://www.scribd.com/doc/25664401/803-Page-Collection-of-Papers-on-Anti-Gravity-Research The articles from Nick Cook in Jane’s Defense Weekly are especially informative. *Boeing, the world's largest aircraft manufacturer, has admitted that it is working on experimental anti-gravity projects that could overturn a century of conventional aerospace propulsion technology if the science that underpins them - science that senior Boeing officials describe as valid - can be engineered into hardware. As part of the effort, which is being run out of Boeing's PhantomWorks advanced research and development facility in Seattle, the company is trying to solicit the services of a Russian scientist who claims he has developed 'high-' and 'low-power' anti-gravity devices In Russia and Finland. The approach, however, has been thwarted by Russian officialdom.The Boeing drive to develop a collaborative relationship with the scientist in question, Dr Evgeny Podkletnov, has its own internal project name: 'GRASP' -Gravity Research for Advanced Space Propulsion.A briefing document on GRASP obtained by Jane's Defense Weekly sets out what Boeing believes is at stake. If gravity modification is real, it says, it will alter the entire aerospace business. The report was written by Jamie Childress, principal investigator for Boeing's propellant less propulsion work at the Phantom Works in Seattle.* IMHO, some of this weird stuff went into the B2 bomber.

That's great! That would be easy to adapt to cold fusion, in a first-generation cold fusion aircraft. You would not need the battery, so the payload would be increased.

Re: [Vo]:Boeing Electric Airliner---LENR Application=???
I suspect the requirement for the 45 MW LENR systems originally came from the US Navy to power their aircraft carrier based drones. Military aircraft always precede commercial aircraft development. As background, the U.S. Navy's pursuit of drones is recognition of the need for new weapons and strategies to deal not only with China but a changing military landscape generally. Carrier-based unmanned aircraft systems have tremendous potential, especially in increasing the range and persistence of our intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance operations, as well as our ability to strike targets quickly, Van Buskirk said at the 7th Fleet's headquarters in Yokosuka, Japan. His fleet boasts one carrier – the USS George Washington – along with about 60 other ships and 40,000 sailors and Marines. Experts say the drones could be used on any of the 11 U.S. carriers worldwide and are not being developed exclusively as a counterbalance to China. But China's reported progress in missile development appears to make the need for them more urgent. The DF 21D carrier killer missile is designed for launch from land with enough accuracy to hit a moving aircraft carrier at a distance of more than 900 miles (1,500 kilometers). Though still unproven – and some analysts say overrated – no other country has such a weapon. Current Navy fighter jets can only operate about 500 nautical miles (900 kilometers) from a target, leaving a carrier within range of the Chinese missile. Current Drone designs would have an unrefueled combat radius of 1,500 nautical miles (2,780 kilometers) and could remain airborne for 50 to 100 hours – versus the 10 hour maximum for a pilot, according to a 2008 paper by analysts Tom Ehrhard and Robert Work at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments. Work is now an undersecretary of the Navy. A LENR Drone could be launched from anywhere outside of Chinese missile range and stay airborne indefinably without refueling capability; and expensive and incontinent necessity in a combated environment. Introducing a new aircraft that promises to let the strike group do its work from beyond the maximum effective firing range of the anti-ship ballistic missile – or beyond its range entirely – represents a considerable boost in defensive potential for the carrier strike group, said James Holmes of the U.S. Naval War College. Northrop Grumman has a six-year, $635.8 million contract to develop two of the planes, with more acquisitions expected if they work. A prototype of its X-47B took a maiden 29-minute flight in February at Edwards Air Force Base in California. Initial testing on carriers is planned for 2013. Coincidently…or not, Northrop Grumman was the lead contractor involved in a recent nuclear Drone study. Other makers including Boeing and Lockheed are also in the game. General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. – the maker of the Predator drones used in the Afghan war – carried out wind tunnel tests in February. Spokeswoman Kimberly Kasitz said it was too early to divulge further details. Some experts warn carrier-based drones are still untested and stress that Chinese advances have not rendered carriers obsolete. Drones, if they work, are just the next tech leap. As long as there is a need for tactical aviation launched from the sea, carriers will be useful weapons of war, said Michael McDevitt, a former commandant of the National War College in Washington, D.C., and a retired rear admiral whose commands included an aircraft carrier battle group. Some analysts also note that China may be reluctant to instigate any fighting that could interfere with its trade. Nan Li, an expert at the U.S. Naval War College's China Maritime Studies Institute, doubts China would try to attack a U.S. carrier. I am a skeptic of such an interpretation of Chinese strategy, he said. But I do think the X-47B may still be a useful preventive capability for worst-case scenarios. The Air Force and Navy both sponsored a project to develop carrier-based drones in the early 2000s, but the Air Force pulled out in 2005, leaving the Navy to fund the research. Adm. Gary Roughhead, chief of naval operations, said last summer that the current goal of getting a handful of unmanned bombers in action by 2018 is too damn slow. Seriously, we've got to have a sense of urgency about getting this stuff out there, he told a conference. It could fundamentally change how we think of naval aviation. True, LENR will remake naval air warfare. On Wed, Apr 18, 2012 at 1:20 PM, Jed Rothwell jedrothw...@gmail.com wrote: That's great!

Also, if Rossi can make a 45 MW reactor it will be the size of an office building. It will weigh many times more than a drone. Even Rossi's smallest reactors are far too heavy for aviation applications. The ratio of weight to power is too high. Everyone I know in the military and the aviation business agrees that LENR may be an important source of energy in the future, but Rossi's present 1 MW reactor is ridiculous, and a 45 MW version would be insane. It makes no sense whatever to scale up so much at this stage in the development of the technology. - Jed
Re: [Vo]:Boeing Electric Airliner---LENR Application=???
Rossi has stated that his 1 MW reactors was delivered to a military customer. It logically follows that he would setup his company in close proximity to that customer. Florida’s Mayport Naval Station and Jacksonville Naval Air Station was also where the Navy’s Broad Area Maritime Surveillance (BAMS) unmanned aerial system was developed. I suspect that the LENR version of the Navy next generation drone power plant will be directed by the BAMS project management. With a number of naval facilities in the Florida panhandle, Florida provides a natural RD location for Robot development. It is probable that the factory to produce the LENR power units for these robots will be located close to if not at Florida’s Mayport Naval Station and Jacksonville Naval Air Station. In 2007, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) revealed a program to develop technology for a UAV with an endurance capability of over 5 years. The program, entitled VULTURE (an acronym for Very-high altitude, Ultra-endurance, Loitering Theater Unmanned Reconnaissance Element), entered Phase II on September 14, 2010, with a contract signed with Boeing for development of the SolarEaglehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_SolarEagleflight demonstrator. If a LENR drone power plant is available, it would be a good backup power plant solution for the SolarEagle to increase its low attitude and surveillance instrumentation package c*a*pability. Is it a coincidence that Northrop Grumman received the Broad Area Maritime Surveillance contract and is also working on the nuclear drone? In DOD contracting parlance, such a serendipitous situation is called a discriminator.

Re: [Vo]:Boeing Electric Airliner---LENR Application=???
Rossi must have made the sale to the US Navy because he has stopped looking for a major supportive money rich customer. And he has stopped complaining about a lack of money. Rossi has devoted much effort in downsizing his reactor core. I believe this effort was directed towards the requirements of his customer: the US Navy. Also, Rossi has stated that the customer is military. Rossi’s reactor is attractive to the US military because Rossi’s reactor core has a very high power density potential. The E-Cat catalyst (AKA secret sauce) reduces the size and weight of the LENR core by a factor of 100 over a non-catalyzed reactor. One gram of nickel in an E-Cat does the work of 100 grams in a non-catalyzed reactor (e.g. the Brillouin Energy system). This small and compact LENR 10 KW core cigarette pack sized form factor is attractive for airborne, mobile and boots on the ground military applications. This is why Rossi started the reactor core downsizing process after the 18 hour test. I believe he got a lot of help from Navy contractor experts from the kind of things he said during that timeframe about development progress. The US Navy would have accepted the Rossi reactor as a starting point for their own development of a miniaturized LENR core. No sane commercial customer would take the risk of such an immature product. The 1 Mw size equates to about 100 horsepower at 10% to15% solid state heat to electric conversion efficiency. I understand, you don’t want to believe that the Rossi reactor would slip into the black pit of military secrecy and lost to the real world; but it has and Rossi’s commercial product will only appear as a result of irresistible international commercial pressure placed on the US government to let the E-Cat of of the secrecy bag. This will take a lot of such pressure, however. The US military indulges Rossi’s fantasies about a commercialized product but I can’t see how they could give a potential adversary a leg up on such an important and even game changing military core technology.

Re: [Vo]:Boeing Electric Airliner---LENR Application=???
Taking delivery of the prototype is not necessary. What is necessary is to see the prototype work in self sustain mode…Yes it is real. Just to know that Rossi’s LENR technology is viable is all that the Navy requires. This is important to justify the Navy’s current E-Cat development effort. And the navy has extreme need and funding for long duration Drone capability. According to Rossi, uniformed US Naval officers witnessed Rossi’s early demos; do you think that if the Navy saw anything at all, they would let this technology fall into the hands of the Greeks or other nations-states. You must believe that if the Rossi reactor works to the least degree, the US Navy has it. They don’t intend to lose their next fight. Rossi says that President Obama is the greatest president of all times and he wants his invention to advance the American agenda. Such adoration for his country and its leader would have had to come from somewhere…a campaign add?…way to early… Rush Hudson Limbaugh …I don’t think so… what? If it were me, this kind of reaction can only come from personal contact; an ‘at a boy’ of some kind dispensed by the POTUS. This new revelation of presidential veneration leads me to suspect that at some time previous, Rossi was lead into the presence of the august American leader for a pat on the back and apresidential assurance of his value to the country. From this, Rossi may have gain a new sensitivity to the many and growing problems of the leader of his new country. This may have changed Rossi’s attitude to the defense needs of the United States.

No, they are not. Programs are protected only because there are so many of them that Congressional oversight is overwhelmed. Some members of Congress, on some committees, can see anything they want. The hearings are kept secret, but the Representatives have full access. I am sure they would have access to the purchase order for a cold fusion reactor, since nothing about cold fusion is classified. It does not exist, according to the government. Furthermore, Washington is as a leaky as a sieve. If anyone, anywhere in the government bought a 1 MW cold fusion reactor, I am sure the news of it would reach Robert Park and the mass media in a few days. They would raise hell. This would be a tremendous scandal, on the scale of the Solandra bankruptcy. The administration knows that. They would NEVER approve such a thing.

Re: [Vo]:Boeing Electric Airliner---LENR Application=???
I am amused at your naïve trust in the competency of the US Congress. The only thing the members are interested in is being reelected and getting pork for their district. Furthermore, Solandra was not a black project. If an inquiry on LENR by a member was to occur, that inquiry would itself be classified an no one would ever know about such an inquiry. “If someone did it secretly, that person would be fired, and hauled before a Congressional Investigation.” Oliver North did get fired, but that was related to an effort to save the job of the POTUS. . If the intent of the Navy is to keep LENR development secret, I would expect that the Navy would not take delivery of the prototype system to discredit their interest in Rossi’s technology. The US government will continue to discredit LENR. The only flaw in this secrecy strategy is that DGT has reversed engineered Rossi’s technology. In the end this will force LENR out of the Pentagon’s black bag.

No, they are not. Programs are protected only because there are so many of them that Congressional oversight is overwhelmed. Some members of Congress, on some committees, can see anything they want. The hearings are kept secret, but the Representatives have full access. I am sure they would have access to the purchase order for a cold fusion reactor, since nothing about cold fusion is classified. It does not exist, according to the government. Furthermore, Washington is as a leaky as a sieve. If anyone, anywhere in the government bought a 1 MW cold fusion reactor, I am sure the news of it would reach Robert Park and the mass media in a few days. They would raise hell. This would be a tremendous scandal, on the scale of the Solandra bankruptcy. The administration knows that. They would NEVER approve such a thing. If someone did it secretly, that person would be fired, and hauled before a Congressional Investigation. - Jed

I am not suggesting that the Congress is especially competent. However, I am familiar with the laws under which it operates. I know staff members there. I grew up in Washington and I knew Representatives. You are making assertions about how the Congress works which are FACTUALLY WRONG. Completely wrong. The so-called black budget is not secret from the Congress. It is kept secret from the public, not the Congress. If someone in the military purchased Rossi's reactor, that fact would be made known to members of Congress and their staff. Perhaps it would be lost in the noise, because the budget is so gigantic. But I doubt that. I think someone would notice. An hour later the shit would hit the fan and it would blanket the mass media. People everywhere would be screaming waste, fraud and abuse. Cold fusion is extremely unpopular. It has many powerful enemies. Most mass media reporters assume that the APS, the Scientific American, Robert Park and the Amazing Randi are correct, and all cold fusion scientists are scammers, criminals or lunatics. If word of a purchase got out, those would be the headlines, especially in media outlets opposed to the Administration. - Jed

Do you think the Pentagon can ignore an inquiry from Congress, or tell Congress it will not answer? That is not how it works. The Pentagon must respond. It would respond. It would give the information to a Representative who has security clearance and is sworn to keep it secret. The Pentagon can no more refuse to give Congress information than it it can refuse the President. If a member of Congress were to ask the Pentagon did you buy the Rossi reactor and the Pentagon did not answer promptly and honestly, that alone would a scandal. That would be in news. - Jed

*A member meaning a member of Congress?!?”* Yes *“Do you think the Pentagon can ignore an inquiry from Congress, or tell Congress it will not answer? That is not how it works.

That would be in news.?”* If all works like it is designed to, the congressional hearing would be held behind closed doors and the information would be kept secret. It is true that politicians for their own political benefit reveal state secrets. Take the case of Richard Bruce Dick Cheney for example. On October 18, 2005, The Washington Post reported that the vice president's office was central to the investigation of the Valerie Plame CIA leak scandal, for Cheney's former chief of staff, Lewis Scooter Libby, was one of the figures under investigation. Following an indictment, Libby resigned his positions as Cheney's chief of staff and assistant on national security affairs. On September 8, 2006, Richard Armitage, former Deputy Secretary of State, publicly announced that he was the source of the revelation of Plame's status. Armitage said he was not a part of a conspiracy to reveal Plame's identity and did not know whether one existed. In February 2006, The National Journal reported that Libby had stated before a grand jury that his superiors, including Cheney, had authorized him to disclose classified information to the press regarding intelligence on Iraq's weapons. On March 6, 2007, Libby was convicted on four felony counts for obstruction of justice, perjury, and making false statements to federal investigators. In his closing arguments, independent prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald said that there was a cloud over the vice president, an apparent reference to Cheney's interview with FBI agents investigating the case, which was made public in 2009. Cheney lobbied President George W. Bush vigorously and unsuccessfully to grant Libby a full Presidential pardon up to the day of Barack Obama's inauguration, likening Libby to a soldier on the battlefield For the sake of the country, let us pray that such wrongdoing by these lowlife politicians stops immediately.

Axil Axil janap...@gmail.com wrote: If all works like it is designed to, the congressional hearing would be held behind closed doors and the information would be kept secret. Correct. But this would never be kept secret. It would be leaked to Fox News immediately, because it would hurt the administration. No member of Congress or staff member would be held to account. On the contrary, the Pentagon would be bashed for buying a fraudulent perpetual motion machine. It is true that politicians for their own political benefit reveal state secrets. Take the case of Richard Bruce Dick Cheney for example. . . . There are THOUSANDS of such cases. People in both parties do that all the time. Even during WWII, so much information about the atom bomb project was leaked that fairly detailed descriptions of the program reached some experts in Japan. It was just a matter of time before the whole thing leaked, especially after the first bomb was tested. Washington has always leaked. All in all, that is a good thing. It is necessary for the health of democracy. Military secrets only last a few years in the best of circumstances. All technical secrets -- military, commercial, or a trade secret -- are ephemeral. The cavity magnetron was one of the most important and closely guarded secrets of WWII. Arguably, it contributed more to allied victory than the atom bomb. It was not kept secret for long after the war. Nowadays you can find a cavity magnetron in just about every kitchen, in the microwave oven. Rossi's device may be forgotten, and lost to history, because Rossi himself is doing an effective job at hiding it and destroying his prospects to develop it. But it will NOT be lost because the U.S. military suppresses it. The military could no more do that than it could magically make everyone forget what a magnetron is. The Rossi reactor will not be forgotten because The Amazing Randi is going around telling people it is a scam, or because the oil companies oppose it. The only person capable of suppressing this discovery is Rossi himself. He is doing that more effectively than all the oil companies and stage magicians combined could do. - Jed
