A plasma at 3500C is commonplace and found in every house - but almost
meaningless in terms of energy content... yet typical of Mills' genius
at deception. The plasma in a common 5 watt CFL can be >6000C. Electrons
in a plasma can be very hot since there is almost no mass to heat. Yet
it sounds impressive!
As it runs without any input power why do you not think it generates
any (excess) heat?
No excess heat is likely but low range excess is possible. Do you
understand capacitance? A few ultracaps will power a small CFL for 15
minutes with internal temps of 6,000C and thermal output in the few
watt-hr range. There need be no input power to the circuit since the
caps are charged at the outset.
Mills is the world expert at confusing gullible investors with
meaningless combinations of inappropriate numbers. Rossi is less subtle.
Mills favorite deception is conflating watts of power with watt-hrs of
energy. And lest we forget, there was a picture of a prototype SunCell
on the net a while back with distinctive blue Maxwell supercaps in the
circuit, but that was before Mills restricted almost all relevant
disclosure - so do not imagine that he is above the easy way to deceive.
Note: Mills could and probably does have excess energy, as this has been
known/shown for a long time at low COP - but not enough to close the
loop for an extended period. If he could close the loop, that would be
the first thing he demonstrates. Same with Rossi. And everyone who
matters would take notice!
Let's be clear -- Mills has not shown a system which will self-run for a
week or even a day. A plasma running for an hour on ultracaps is YouTube
teenage "gee-whiz" fodder.
Use your mind, man. You cannot assume total honesty when Mills/Rossi
have built careers on misleading investors. The legal system is too slow
to catch up with promoters who build scams on half-truths, usually.
