My speculation has been that the elements not present in the ash but seen in the fuel may be the result of evaporation and subsequent deposition outside of the sampled ash volume, such as on the vessel walls, rather than being subject to transmutation. However, this would not seem to account for the isotopic shifts in Ni and Li.

My main questions concern the actual quantity of material that is recovered as ash. Is it stated that essentially all of the powder inserted is recaptured to test? It seem much more likely that a significant proportion of the material becomes attached to the interior of the device due to melting, vapor deposition, etc. Dave -----Original Message----- From: Robert Lynn <robert.gulliver.l...@gmail.com <mailto:robert.gulliver.l...@gmail.com> > To: vortex-l <vortex-l@eskimo.com <mailto:vortex-l@eskimo.com> > Sent: Thu, Oct 9, 2014 12:06 am Subject: Re: [Vo]:Pomp weighs in P29: By the researchers calculations there are 3MWh released from transmutation of Li7, and Ni isotopes, and supposedly all of the other initial chemicals transmuted into Ni too as not present in Ash (which would release huge, though unquantified amounts of binding energy), yet only 1.5MWh output recorded, and calorimetry which is supposed to be accurate to ~10%. more magic involved? fusion + fission transmutations that release copious neutrinos with no gammas, betas, neutrons or alphas? It's starting to smell.

Did they recover approximately the same amount as was put in? Also, I do not recall how much of the ash by weight was nickel and lithium. Perhaps I need to read the report again to look for these details. Does anyone know whether or not the isotropic shifted metals actually added up to the total amount of nickel, etc. at the beginning? I would not be surprised to find that some of the metals from the fuel found their way to being attached to the body of the reactor due to the extreme temperatures.

Sorry, but that makes no sense. The material that came out proves there are isotopic shifts. What stayed behind cannot "unprove" that. What did you have in mind? That the other isotopes all got left behind? That would be an isotope separation technology of a totally unexpected and inexplicable new type. It would be as miraculous as transmutation. Also, if you "cannot imagine how" then your assertion has no place in a serious scientific discussion. You have to imagine how, and other people have to agree that what you imagine is plausible. This is not a fantasy role playing game, where you can invoke dragons or miracles. - Jed
