Vortexians;
Do any of you have any further comments for the professor. In particular
the last paragraph.
I sent the following letter to Suslick
Dear Dr. Suslick;
An astrophysicist told me about Chain Reaction. It was based on a true
story, he contended. We were discussing cohering the zero point energy,
ZPE. The quantum theorist Hal Puthoff of earthtech.org has coauthored a
series of articles speculating about the interaction of the ZPE with
matter. They were published in Physical Review, these articles, which
means that other physicists agree with Hal. Unfortunately, no one has
yet managed to power the machine with it's output, and yield just one
watt of surplus energy.
I posted the story on Vortex-L, scientific anomalies. One of the
Vortexians responded with your URL.
Two Vortexians are behind the website on low energy nuclear reactions,
LENR. Given your interest in sonochemistry I assume that you've heard of
the Griggs Hydrosonic Pump. It is reported to produce more heat in the
water than the electrical energy required to turn it. We assume that the
surplus energy is the result of LENR.
I work in venture capital, your inventions look interesting, so let me
know if you are interested.
I liked your cartoon page.

Dear Mr. Malloy,
"A fool and his money..."
I'd highly recommend a trip to Vegas rather than investment in any of
these lunatic fringe theories.
The casinos always win in the long run. Intellectual property on the
other hand, makes money some of the time. Studying natural philosophy,
(science) is it's own reward.
Chain Reaction was just a movie and a bad one, although we did
manage to make money by selling Hollywood old junk equipment as props.
It would seem to me that if that cell worked, it would be possible to
reproduce it
Not everything published (even in respectable journals) is correct,
and certainly many patents are just plain wrong. Science is
self-correcting, however, and eventually things either get proven
right, wrong, or just slowly "dissolve" if they're not right.
According to the LENR researchers, the scientific establishment has done
it's best to strangle this technology in it's cradle. One can only hope
that science will eventually self
correct.
Patents either make money or they don't and eventually the technology
returns to common use (or disuse if it doesn't work).
Have you ever heard about professor Robert Parks' crusade to get Randall
Mills' patent taken away? Dr. Parks didn't like Black Light Power's
experimental results. He's proud of his accomplishment too. Parks says
that he has yet to read a paper proving LENR, that's because when
someone hands him one, he lets it slide through his fingers.
In spite of early claims about the Griggs hydrosonic pump (which
certainly does generate cavitation efficiently and will of course heat
water as any mechanical process does--remember Joule?), there is no
credible evidence for excess heat and there doesn't seem to be a
mention of it at the company's website:
http://www.hydrodynamics.com/technology_review.htm
The management of Hydrodynamics has had so much trouble with the matter,
that they have chosen to delete it.
<http://www.hydrodynamics.com/technology_review.htm>Cavitation (which
has been a big part of my career) does marvelous things including
lots of chemical reactions and physical processing of liquids and
slurries. But creating usable energy out of zero point energy,
inertial fusion, or LENR just ain't in the cards, I'm afraid (and
trust me, I'd be the first to jump on board if any of that were likely
or true--after all I'd have the most to gain of anyone in the
scientific community!).
Sterling Allen of www.pesn.com has been talking to a wealthy man who is
interested in resolving these questions, so perhaps we can arrange for
an experiment.
For example, Rusi Taleyarkhan (OakRidge and then Purdue) is currently
and finally under investigation for fraud on his "sonofusion" papers.
