Looks like magnetism is enjoying a new awareness. Recently it was
shown that superconduction is more likely a result of electron spin.

It was meant to be public. I usually just hit "reply".
I did a calculation based on the known reserves (from placer mines) of
Nd and the claimed efficiency of Steorn. All the Nd in the world
would not do better than 10% of the present consumption. However,
others have pointed out that, once Nd

BlankHowdy Vorts,
How strange the relationship between posts by Heffner's "mirrors" mentioned in
his post :Searching for Cosmic Matter and Beene's post: An unusual property of
Pd?
What so? hmm how about oxidation.. ie. "rust".Never gave it thought until I
read both posts and sensed a rela
I have cobbled together material from various posts and articles to
make the first draft of an article "Searching for Cosmic Matter" at:

Some highlights are pasted following.

Mirror matter has only gravitational
Palladium, iron, gadolinium, uranium and oxygen share
a physical property 'extreme' in common, within their
atomic mass ranges. This property sets them slightly
apart from other elements in the periodic table, and
one wonders if that property is somehow related to
nuclear stability (since uranium i
On a related note, EESTOR's ultacapacitor seems to be (re)gaining credibility:

If we can believe the Parkins paper, what would be the use of a $15/W

corrected for the plant factor difference, photovoltaic would be half the
