[Vo]:It must be magnetism

On Dec 13, 2006, the sun itself provided a crucial clue, when a solar flare sent a stream of particles and radiation toward Earth. Purdue nuclear engineer Jere Jenkins, while measuring the decay rate of manganese-54, a short-lived isotope used in medical diagnostics, noticed that the rate dropped s

Jed, your comparison seems appropriate at first glance, except you forgot one thing. Actuarial Studies and Medicine are fields of science with solid mathematical,experimental and actual data. It is hard science that is refutable and falsiable and has stood the test of time. Global Warming and

[Vo]:SunCell - Better Design Possibilities?

If we assume BLP's SunCell works as advertised, it would seem to me that they need to design something better for the ignition process than pouring particles over the rollers. I don't see how that could ever be made reliable, but that might just be a limitation of my imagination. It seems to me t

RE: [Vo]:LENR <-> dark mater <-> DDL connection--

Yes the magneto-caloric effect. This precisely what we think is happening (rather could be happening if there was actual gain) where the moving magnetic field creates EMF in the windings and cooling in the core BUT where the cooling loss balances the EM gain. Best of both. BTW – the wind

Re: [Vo]:LENR <-> dark mater <-> DDL connection--

There is also such a thing as a thermomagnetic heat pump. It is usually envisioned with moving magnets. However, just as one can imagine a moving magnetic field from a 3-phase drive producing a linear magnetic motor, one can envision a motion-less thermomagnetic heat pump in a ferrite. There may

Now Jones, this group is all too aware of, and fed-up with, the ‘keepers of the paradigm’ when it comes to science, which requires complete objectivity to reach the ‘truth’ (something humans are incapable of)… Is this a case of ‘the worst’ being due to error, or simply that it would upset the pa
