[Vo]:My response at Forbes: all assertions must be testable and falsifiable

I do not know why I bother but I went to the trouble to post a message here: http://www.forbes.com/sites/markgibbs/2013/06/15/psstt-want-an-e-cat-lenr-generator-for-free/ The point I am making is so elementary it boggles my mind that anyone overlooks it, or disagrees, but people often do. It remi

Re: [Vo]:My response at Forbes: all assertions must be testable and falsifiable

There have been a few responses over at Forbes. I have a feeling these people are reaching the end of the road in some sense. They are scraping the bottom of the barrel. They now make assertions directly contradicted by the paper. Three examples: - - - - - - - - - - - - - Kirk Shanahan published

Also, Millstone has apparently never heard of the second law of thermodynamics. He keeps insisting we can't be sure the heat originates from inside the cell because they measure the temperature at the outside wall. He said, quote: "The actual E-Cat, supposedly producing the 'excess' heat, was a se

I think that the isothermal temperature mapping will correspond to the extent of the Bose Einstein condensate. The temperature will be equalized inside this condensate. This includes the nickel powder. The fact that the nickel powder does not melt points to the establishment of a BEC. Inside the s

Since Jed decided to debate me in absentia here on the Vortex, I thought I'd respond. Rothwell said: "No, as Ian Walker already pointed out to you, it says in the Appendix they checked for it. Also they told me they did. Figure 1 shows a direct connection to each of the 3 wires (for voltage) in"

[Sent directly to Milstone by accident] I wrote: 3. In an insulated electric 3-phase cable, all four wires are bundled together under the insulation. Correction: all 5. As noted there is neutral and ground. The point is, you cannot disconnect individual ones without exposing them all.
