I was browsing through Bill Beaty's site earlier and wondering how to use
the vapour pressure power curves for Carnot cycling the Beta-atmosphere when
I came across this absolute gem and nearly fell off my chair with delight.

Subject: Another theory for Griggs device
Date: Sat, 17 Dec 1994 12:14 -0500 (EST)
In a previous post I hinted at another possibility of what may be
happening in the Griggs device when I mentioned "non-linearities in the
steam table" as one of several things that should be looked at. Since I
did not get any bites on that, let me outline a discussion I had with a
scientist from Oak Ridge National Labs about the Griggs device several
months ago. This discussion is off the record, and most likely will not
be collaborated, just as some of the results of their CF cell experiments
are.
I had an occasion to meet with this person and begun describing the Griggs
device to him. After telling him how it worked I ended it with, "and it
is reported to produce more steam or hot water than then the input power
should produce". His response was "that's not surprising". I was almost
floored.
He then told me that is a fairly well known fact among some researchers
that the published steam tables are wrong. The original team which made
up the steam tables found that toward the extremes (high pressure high
temperature and low pressure and temperature) there are unexplained
non-linearities. Since these non-linearities could not be explained, and
were shown to not obey the conservation of energy, they fudged the tables
to get rid of the non-linearities. They had assumed that there must be an
error in their measurements or equipment since it did not jive with
theory. Since then others have found the same thing, but none of them
will stick their neck out to declare that steam tables which have been in
use for decades are wrong, especially since there seems to be no theory to
explain these non-linearities. Anyway, he said that if you go through a
cycle of vaporization at one pressure and condensation at a higher
pressure and temperature, when you get back to the original temperature
and pressure the "corrected" steam table does not close. That is to say
according to the measurements there is steam left over which should not be
there, and by conservation of energy cannot be there. Anyway, he said
that it seems that such a device such as Griggs would enhance this
non-linearity effect and therefore produce more energy than is supplied.
He does not have the foggiest idea where the excess energy could come
from, but simply that given what he knows about the non-linearities in the
(corrected) steam tables, that seems like a good place to start looking.
I find the idea intriguing, but as with so many other theories, it leaves
one with as many questions as it gives answers.

If this is correct, and it certainly sounds it, then they have already broken
through the Over Unity barrier. They have just been too astonished to face up
to the fact. It's definitely the Black Queen of Hearts syndrome.
Well, we have the power curves, we have the experimental evidence.
All we need now is the carts, horses and the starting gun.

The Land Run of April 19, 1892
As told by John Clark Hill to his niece,
Mrs. Grace Paulsen, Moline, Ill.
1941
On April 19, 1892, the Cheyenne and Arapahoe
land was thrown open to homestead settlement
by the government. It was a strip of land about
60 miles wide north and south by 175 miles east
and west. It was a very fertile, well-watered
land, mostly prairie, some good timber � oak
and cedar, pecan and walnut.
On the above date at high noon the government
had said United States citizens over 21 years
of age could enter this land and claim 160 acres
for a homestead and to establish your claim you
had to be the first one to enter it, set your
stake, and claim it for your home. Naturally,
this attracted the attention of more than 50,000
people, and they gathered on lines ready for the
greatest race ever run in all ancient or modern
history.

"......Perhaps no one in authority "will stick their neck out
to declare that steam tables which have been in use for decades
are Wrong, especially since there seems to be no theory to
explain these non-linearities."
===============================================================
Like my despicable superior at BRS - they are "not prepared to put their
jobs on the line" - What a shower! No wonder a few determined men armed
with paper cutters can bring down the two tallest skyscrapers in New York.
No doubt the members of the security forces who had knowledge of the
dangers weren't prepared to put their jobs on the line either.
No wonder space shuttles fall out the sky.
How many people in ENRON knew what was going on and did nothing?
It would seem that people only have conscience and integrity in
the movies.

No Highway in the Sky (1951)
A little-known gem, No Highway in the Sky is an interesting
hybrid of U.S. and British film production. Most of the cast
is British, as are the look and feel of the film, but the
lead actor and the budget are both American. James Stewart
plays aeronautical engineer Theodore Honey, the quintessential
absent-minded professor: eccentric, forgetful, but brilliant.
His studies show that the aircraft being manufactured by his
employer has a subtle but deadly design flaw that manifests
itself only after the aircraft has flown a certain number of
hours. En route to a crash site to prove his theory, Honey
discovers that he is aboard a plane rapidly approaching his
predicted deadline.
The scene in which James Stewart retracts the airplane's
landing gear while it's parked on the ground is absolutely
classic -- brief but memorably stunning. It must have been
astounding on the big screen in 1951.
The film is ultimately a celebration of conscience and integrity,
differentiated from what at first appears to be merely
idiosyncrasy or dangerous insanity.
==============================================================
I mean to say, look at the sentence,
============================================
"That is to say according to the measurements
there is steam left over which should not be
there, and by conservation of energy cannot
be there."
===========================================
What better evidence could one ask for that steam left over is
indeed there. What better evidence than the testimony of people
who clearly don't want it to be there.
