Someone asked me whether I think Defkalion will succeed in shipping Rossi reactors, thereby saving the world. I said yes, I think they will succeed, but it may take longer than they plan. Reasons: 1. The scientific problem is solved; it is "just a matter of engineering." 2. They have a lot of mone

Clocks should either use the grid's AC signal or receive time codes from WWVB or other sources such as cell phone towers or broadcast TV. You can't get any more accurate than that even if you have a crystal --it should at least be counting mains power cycles, as the utilities synch to NIST. I have
