When it’s finally built, ITER will be the world’s biggest experimental tokamak nuclear fusion reactor—and probably our best chance to date for making nuclear fusion work. But engineers are currently toiling with building the damn thing and its magnets are proving to be a challenge. A toroidal fusi

You will not find any rhyme or reason to predict or understand LENR nuclear reactions. It is a random process that is centered on nuclear disruption and subsequent subatomic particle production, If we fire a shotgun into a glass window, we cannot predict or understand how the glass will break. Eve

In building a Shawyer EM Drive cavity copper is typically used but Shawyer notes a higher Q would result with silver. Would a cavity that was made of copper sheet then electroplated with silver suffice to give the cavity the Q of silver? Is there any potential for improved Q based on the design

Robin, You propose a massive amount of energy per reaction. Under the circumstances, that level seems too energetic; but it is difficult to rule out f/H in some capacity. A three-body reaction would be unlikely based on probability. Fusion seems unlikely based on lack of high energy radiation, bu

Yes – I hope Bob will clear this up. The fact that the 64Ni data appear in three different places in the slides makes it all the more certain that it cannot be some kind of typo. However, the inclusion of this data could be based on real results which slipped in on preparation of the presentatio

Cold fusion used to kill bacteria. "We showed that all of the bacteria were killed pretty quickly . . . within 5 to 25 seconds. That's a very fast process," said corresponding author Wei-Chuan Shih, a professor in the electrical and computer engineering department, University of Houston, Texas.

The relevant Sochi data is the chart on slide 13. You can see what happened - the chart is logarithmic and the writer of paper apparently did not notice that. Thus - a very substantial change took place - a drop in the ending ratio of 64Ni of almost half, compared to the starting - PLUS a

Of course the EM drive ship that remains in this extreme case(actually nothing at all if zero exhaust is present) is at rest which means it has zero kinetic energy relative to itself. Again, this is not a problem for a normal rocket that spits out reaction mass. In that case all the missing ma

Jones-- Higgins’s thoughts are the same as mine. I think it’s an uncorrected mistake. Greenyer should ask Parkhomov to resolve the issue. If the data in the graph is correct and there were no Ni-64 enrichment, the implication for the decay or transmutation of Ni 64 to something else would
