So far there are several instances where experiments indicate that this is occurring: Electrolysis Cells; F&P Cell, Browns Gas Cell, On-Board Hydrogen Producers and the "Lawnmower Man" microwaved water engine.

If the "Composite" (-)H2O(+) is acting as a dissolved gas in H2O, separation can be effected with modest energy input using the above methods or such.

If you tell me about the SAS "Amateur Scientist" CD, that's fine. However, if the marketer for SAS comes here and starts pushing that CD, it's self-promotion. That person is using FREENRG-L as an advertizing channel without our permission, and without supporting this service by paying for ad-space. It's a type of dishonesty, even theft. (Not that I'm ever going to start selling ad-space here!) In other words, suppose we say it OK to use FREENRG-L to tell about products, but only if the person sending the message makes no profits by it? That is typical nettique standards. I'd like to make it a "LAW" here. If I tell you where to get ceramic magnets, that is not self-promotion. If Greg Watson sells fully-built "SMOT" devices, then that *IS* self-promotion. If he never delievers, nor offers refunds, then that is fraud besides. If I tell you where to get tin foil, that is not self-promotion. If I offer to sell you plans for a secret FE device which can power your home or car, then that is self-promotion. If those plans are fake, and no such device has ever been built nor has ever powered even a flashlight bulb, then that is fraud besides. My intention is to eliminate FREENRG-L as a channel for greed and FE fraud. Or as the sellers of fraudulent FE plans and devices might say, eliminate it as an "opportunity for making a living." If their devices are real, tell us how to make one and we will verify it. Or go submit it to Scott Little for professional analysis. Or go out and win several thousand dollars from the various "Free Energy Prize" organizations. But do not try to extract money from the wallets of "gullible marks" on FREENRG-L. Since a F/E device might be real, I don't want to keep everyone from knowning about it. But if the INVENTOR of that device wants to SELL it to us, without first proving that his claim is true, and while not giving refunds to angry customers, then that is a VERY different situation. For more on fraudulent F/E plans sales, see: F/E F.A.Q.: "But PLANS for working F/E devices are for sale!" http://www.amasci.com/freenrg/fefaq.html#plans ((((((((((((((((((((( ( ( ( ( (O) ) ) ) ) ))))))))))))))))))))) William J.

Hmm, ok, I was just thinking about taking some big nails and winding turns on them and wrapping them around a central nail coil. Then driving the outer coils with AC and seeing what sort of output the center one had. To see if there is anything funny there..

Yeh me too. Still trying to sort it out. Have simplified the problem in the magnetic dual to looking at the fields inside a cylindrical shell of magnetic material in which the shell has an equal and opposite amount of ampere turns (coils) around the outer diameter and the inner diameter. This apparently simple problem gets very messy. First shot is take the core out and look at the field produced in the center by the two coils, one inside the other, with a substantial gap between them. The fields of a single solenoid coil, of any reasonable length relative to diameter, our solved in all the EM texts. End effects are second order and generally neglected. Or if end effects are included, the exact solution is only presented along the center axis of the coil. Problem is, when you take two of these coils with equal and opposite ampere turns, and look at the fields inside the inner coil -- the normal solenoidal field solution is largely cancelled, and the only thing left is the end effects. It is hard to find an EM text with an exact solution of this. But still looking. Messy elliptical functions, with about equal significance in the radial as well as axial field components. It gets worse when you put the core between the two coils. The device seems to become non-reciprocal. The mutual inductance of coil-1 to coil-2, does not appear to be the same as the mutual inductance of coil-2 to coil-1. There was a time when it was thought impossible to produce non-reciprocity in a passive EM device. Now it is recognized to exist in passive circuits which include electrical transducers along with magnetic transducers. And also well known in magnetic devices which utilize the Faraday effect -- like microwave ferrite circulators and isolators. Too see it in something that looks like transformer is peculiar. But maybe less peculiar, than suggesting that we might be able to polarize the vacuum beyond it normal value of mu0. I still keep seeing this, and have been looking for some easy way to show it. But maybe not. BTW, Jean-Luis has his rendition of DeAquino's device up on his site and about ready to fire up. It has essentially the same construct as the gravity warp capacitor -- except surrounded by magnetic particles, and possibly incorporating inductive as well as capacitive effects. Hope it works.

For instance a magnetostrictive driver and a piezoelectric transducer. This was done in lumped circuits in the early 50s. It's interesting that it was proved that such a device must have a magnetic field (unless it was a gyroscope and thus the mechanical equivalent of a magnet). And also well known in magnetic devices which > utilize the Faraday effect -- like microwave ferrite circulators > and isolators. Yes. In order for such a device to work it must have power dissipation. A lossless gyrator is not possible according to the things I've read.

On the other hand, there are some indications that the velocity of light is not constant-- which implies that mu0 and e0 are not constant. On the other other hand, an intuitive look at the situation without fields (Moon/Spencer version) would seem to show that the force between two electrons must always be equal and opposite. Interestingly, this is not true in the Lorentz version where the angular momentum of space must take up the slack. > I still keep seeing this, and have been looking for some easy > way to show it.

Hope it works. I've yet to look at that. Now that JLN has his nice pics up it will be hard to resist. I'm looking forward to your analysis of the concentric coils. This has been bugging me for quite a while. I was looking at it a bit differently, with two parallel solenoids with opposite fields, and a parallel secondary coil between them. This is simply a transformer version of the Hooper-Monstein experiment. However, this is reciprocal.

However, two other forms of cryptography that depend upon quantum theory mechanisms have been developed. The first one was proposed nearly 30 years ago by Stephen Wiesner. Unfortunately, due to opposition from the establishment Wiesner was not able to publish a paper or attract attention for ten years. He said most people thought he was crazy. Apparently, they they did not understand the physics or the crypography. Fortunately, Charles H. Bennett listened to him. He and others later produce a remarkably simple implementation. I do not understand the quantum theory part, but the cryptographic technique is elegant. Polarized filters are used to transmit or intercept single photons, with each bit either in rectilinear or diagonal polarization, mixed randomly. This is used to send a one time pad which cannot be intercepted by a third party. The eavesdropper would get half the bits incorrect (with the wrong polarization), and he would corrupt the data stream in the act of intercepting them. Few people paid attention to this development until the mid 1980s when a device was actually built and the process was demonstrated over a distance of 30 cm at 10 bits/second. It is now is developed enough to allow a test in Switzerland over a 10 kilometer fiber-optic cable, with data rates expected to reach 20 kb/second soon. That is high enough for practical use, especially since this channel would be used for the random number pad alone, which could be continous, with the encoded data sent in bursts over any other regular connection. A group at Los Alamos is trying to discover ways a way to transmit through open air. I cannot imagine how anyone could detect a single photon an open-air. This development should not be confused with quantum computing, which threatens to obsolete many existing forms of cryptography. See: http://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~crepeau/CRYPTO/Biblio-QC.html http://www.qubit.org/intros/crypt.html As usual, the history of this discovery would teach a great deal to CF scientists, if only they were inclined to learn from history. - Jed From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Tue Apr 4 11:08:11 2000 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id LAA11108; Tue, 4 Apr 2000 11:05:09 -0700 Resent-Date: Tue, 4 Apr 2000 11:05:09 -0700 Message-ID: <38EA2DF6.7CA3 skylink.net> Date: Tue, 04 Apr 2000 11:01:26 -0700 From: Robert Stirniman X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.01 (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: vortex-l eskimo.com Subject: Re: gravity-warp capacitor WORKS?!!

With a gap between the two coils (different diameters) some of the axial field within the center coil comes from the space between the two coils. There are also radial fields inside the coils from leakage effects and end-effects. With most of the axial field cancelled by the equal and opposite ampere turns of the two coils, the relative magnitude of radial fields inside the coils is on the same order as the axial field. Interestingly, the radial flux also contributes to the axial flux -- radial flux feeds into axial flux which increases in magnitude toward the middle-LENGTH of the structure. Curl(B) =0. Hence, dBr/dz = dBz/dr. Radial fields are substantially larger at the ends of the coil, and decrease to zero at the middle length. Radial fields also decrease to zero at r = 0. The polarity of the radial field is opposite at the top and bottom of the coil. The axial field has a substantially lesser magnitude in the center of the inside coil (r =0), and increases in magnitude out to the radius of the inside coil. The magnitude of axial flux is bowl shaped across the diameter of the inside coil (smallest at r = 0). Yet the axial field increases in magnitude from the ends of the coil toward the middle. Both the axial and the radial fields inside the structure increase substantially when the gap between the two coils is filled with magnetic material. The thing is not non-inductive. Maybe more interesting to view it as a volume of space surrounded by inductance per length.

Yes. If so it would seem to be just what one needs to get FE. It might be part of the solution but not all of it. For instance in an optical form of one-way device, a light beam is sent through a polarizer and then this polarized light is sent through a Faraday rotator ( a dielectric with a strong magnetic field down its length). The rotator alters the polarization angle, so that the same light if returned the way it came would not pas through the polarized filter. However, all the energy of the beam is transferred to its end point. Radiation is different from a field, of course, like throwing a ball to someone is different from both people grasping the ball and moving it back and forth. In the case of electromagnetic induction the ball is an electron :-) If Robert is correct and a "concentric coil" can be made at least partially nonreciprocal then it should be possible to use it as an energy source by putting one coil in a tank circuit. This coil will not be as loaded as it should be for its output. This wouldn't work as other nonreciprocal devices do though. An electrical form of nonreciprocal device is a hall effect plate, but the efficiency is not high. At one point I proposed using the Corbino effect (bulk hall effect in Bismuth) as a FE device. I still think this might work. In each case as you can see there is a magnetic field which in effect rotates the incoming energy by 90 degrees. The same thing is true in a mechanical gyroscope, and in fact the mechanical analogue of a magnetic field is a gyroscope... > Not only that, but converted to it's mechanical equivalent it > would provide > a "space drive". ...and gyroscopes have been used in space drives.

How fast do you want it rotated? It's fairly simple to construct a system to produce rotating EM waves at whatever rotational velocity you wish by feeding a pair of broadside dipole arrays with quatrature phased waves. It is quite simple to construct a system that would have a rotational velocity of C within the uniform field area. It might also be fairly easy to do this with a Hemholtz coil arrangement as well, but the broadside array will be much easier to do at easily engineerable frequencies. Some really interesting paradoxes come about when the rotational frequency is high enough so that the rotational velocity exceeds C within the uniform field area of the arrays or within the hemholtz coils. -- Robert Shannon ------------------------------------------------------------------------- When I was still in high school, I met an engineer who worked for a contractor based at the NASA Ames Research. He told me of just an experiment which resulted in apparent "antigravity" effects. He built a cylindrical faraday chamber made out of screen within which was placed 3 vertically oriented dipoles positioned at the vertices of a triangle. He phased the 28 megahertz output of a Heathkit DX-100 (a tube Ham radio transmitter ) so the dipoles produced what he thought would be a electric field that rotated faster than the speed of light. The proper phasing was produced by using different lengths of coax cable to feed each of the dipoles. A full sized dipole at 28 Mhz (10 meter amateur band) is 16.7 feet longs. So he may have used shortened dipoles with coils. He told me, very matter of factly, that small objects placed within the chamber would levitate and float around.

My work on this going back for years says gravity is the ZPE push force. Gravity also causes evaportion, the speed of light, causes hot air ballons to rise, causes bubbles to rise, causes the lift to the air plane, causes thunder, causes a bullet to go further with a rifle with a longer barrel; even the fireball on a rocket is a bubble. Actually, all dynamic energy of motion comes from gravity. Heat is only a static event. Anytime the void is opened gravity does everyting in its power to close it or move it to less density. Heat sets density off balance. Gravity balances the scales of density. And all heat energy comes from mass to start off with as the latest data just in from the Chandra X-Ray telescope showns. This is the cosmological constant Einstein was looking for after his prediction of 1.75 did not come out in the data on gravitation lensing. The difference is that gravity is actually repelling light not bending it in. The perceived bend is actually the backside of the slipstream effect. This is all about fluid space. This is the TOE. All my work on this can be seen in this archive and aross thousands of archived pages on dozen of lists for years. WE have just made history on the Whirlpower List by building the first natual whirlpools ever built by man in all recorded history. You can now see the first known photo of a whirlpool on my new splash page. Bubble up. It's the fizz in the physics.

[snip] Exact calculation is messy because of the elliptic integrals. An approximate calculation in the limit of large length/radius is easy, however. In this limit the magnetic field in the cylindrical shell between the two coils is just H = nI, where n = number of turns per unit length and I = current in the wire. This H is independent of material that might be in the cylindrical shell. Multiply H by permeability mu to get B and by the area of the annulus defined by the two coils to get the magnetic flux. Then L = flux/I. The mutual inductance between the two coils is just the inductance of the cylindrical volume enclosed by the innermost coil. Again in the long coil limit, the flux density B from either coil alone with the other open is mu_o nI, whether there is material in the cylindrical shell or not. The mutual flux is then this B multiplied by the circular area defined by the inner coil, and mutual inductance is m = flux/I. Nonreciprocity is a property of materials, not of geometry. ===== Michael J. Schaffer __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!

Hooper felt that gravity was based on this motional E field interacting between atoms. You could consider this motional force a form of lift rather than antigravity, not that it makes much difference. http://www.patents.ibm.com/details?pn=US03656013__ US3656013: APPARATUS FOR GENERATING MOTIONAL ELECTRIC FIELD Apparatus for producing and demonstrating properties of motional electric fields by means of rotating magnetic flux produced by a plurality of magnets extending parallel with the axis of rotation, said flux of these magnets being put into rotation about a common axis by mechanical or by electro magnetic means.

Right, this is the standard simple solution. In the simple approximation for the problem we are looking at, H = nI from the inside coil, and H = -nI from the outside coil. Effectively cancelling. Leaving behind significant end effects and leakage effects. Significant radial as well as axial fields. Not to be neglected.

Fred, The interesting species are the electronically activated and electrically reduced species. O2- and of course singlet oxygen which is left off the above simplification, as are the dimole reactions, the Haber-Weiss reaction, etc. etc. The states of oxygen and water are well known and have been demonstrated for decades. Furthermore, the roles of these species are both good and bad, in so many ways. The advanced species (with respect to the four electron transfer which ends the reactions with the formation of water) can make aging accelerate and kill viruses and improve awareness, as well. [and hence the plethora of catalases and superoxide dismutates from the cell membranes to the nuclei below, and the very tightly controlled biochemical oxidative pathways.] Oxygen, and its electronically activated and electrically reduced species are well researched, and the moeities (right down to the moloxides with dyes) have been identified. Light leptons and shrinking hydrinos will just have to match that standard of the oxygen species, in their being identified and measured. Best wishes.

TheGovernment has certain rights in the invention. Abstract: A homopolar motor (10) has a field rotor (15) mounted on a frame (11) for rotation in a first rotational direction and for producing an electromagnetic field, and an armature rotor(17) mounted for rotation on said frame (11) within said electromagnetic field and in a second rotational direction counter to said first rotational direction of said field rotor (15). The two rotors (15, 17) are coupled through a 1:1 gearing mechanism (19), so as to travel at the same speed but in opposite directions. This doubles the output voltage and output power, as compared to a motor in which only the armature is rotated. Several embodiments are disclosed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ..No claim here for OU of course, but it does claim double output power for the same size/weight of standard HP motors/generators. The applicant was Lockheed Martin Energy Research Corporation, Oak Ridge, TN. With higher operating voltages, they suggest this HPM can be used as a prime mover for automobiles, etc. Unfortunately, the US03656013 Hooper patent at IBM still does not have the images, so it is difficult to compare the two types of rotating fields, but for those who do have the Hooper patent, the comparisons might be of interest.

Science is "super strung out" as I call it on Complexity arising from Chaos Theroy. Theory heaped on theory heaped on theroy, new dimensions, multiple universes. I say, enough already! You can't build a house on a shabby foundation. It just don't work like that. Whirlpower is about the simplicity of Nature. Schauberger saw it. You can see it. We see it. It's everywhere! It's everywhere! Simplicity is on the horizontal axis. It is the dual radial arm pattern seen in the spiral galaxy, the hurricane, the whirlpool. It comes from the wobble, the third note of the cosmic chord. It is The Third Wave, The Phoenix Wave. This is what "shocked scientists most" in the frame dragging studies says Kathy Sawyer of the Washington post and put frame dragging at the "New Frontier" of science. They did not expect to find Order. And science is not expecting to Whirlpower, yet. But it is all down on record, for years, across thousands of archived pages. Before frame dragging was even announced, before Vera Rubin made history with her most remarkable find, before Perlmutter, Whirlpower was there, ignored scorned cursed by all sorts of big shots.

The (hydrogen) atom expands in the n=3 state because it has higher total energy in that state, hence the electron must be farther away from the nucleus at a less-negative potential. >Why is the effective charge different than the nuclear charge, >you ask? Absorbed photons behave as surface charge, Mills replies. If they behave BOTH as surface charge AND as energy, then it looks like we're double-counting. Everything works out fine if you leave the nucleus with +1 charge and just let the absorbed photons add energy to the system, doesn't it? My response: In quantum, the transition from the n =1 state to the n = 3 state is typically described as follows. The electron in the n = 1 state has a spherically symmetric distribution which is a maximum at r = 0 and decreases exponentially to zero at r = infinity; the average value of r is a(subH), the hydrogen radius (value is very close to the Bohr radius). The electron is at -13.6 eV in the n = 1 state. If the electron absorbs 12.1 eV of energy (typically a photon), the electron goes to the n = 3 state which has an average value of r = 9 a(0). Now, suppose I have a book on the bottom shelf in my office and I want to put it on the third shelf from the bottom. Do I say that if you add energy (m g delta h) to the book the book will go to the third shelf. Of course not. I describe some physical process that actually takes the book from shelf 1 to shelf 3: grab the book with my arm and lift the book with my arm; use a jack; use a pulley; or--whatever. No matter how we do it, it takes (m g delta h) of energy (as a minimum in this case). It is not double counting to say that it takes m g delta h and also to give some physical process by which it takes place. Mills attempts to give a physical reason why things happen--usually they depend heavily on Maxwell's equations. The problem is that you have to understand some of the fundamentals of his theory before you have the context to appreciate the explanations. Even worse, if you try to understand Mills' explanations within the framework of Schrodinger's quantum it is possible to get terribly confused or, more often, simply think he doesn't know what he is doing. I can help with this process, but is very difficult to do so with email (at least for me). Sometimes, I can give a shortcut to Mills' derivations. For example, the main foundation of Mills' theory is that a steady state of moving charge or matter, with or without acceleration, must not radiate either electromagnetic or gravitational waves and that the eigenfunction of charge/matter has to be free of Fourier components synchronous with waves traveling at the speed of light. This postulate was originally derived from Maxwell's equations by Herman Haus for a moving charge (H. A. Haus, "On the Radiation of Point Charges," Am J Phys 54 (12) 1126, December 1986), Mills uses this postulate to derive the radial Dirac delta function as the radial functions of the bound electron in the hydrogen atom. He also shows that the one-electron functions of Schrodinger should radiate. But you don't have to follow the derivation. A radial Dirac delta function has **no** Fourier components--so it cannot have components synchronous with the speed of light! On the other hand, the Schrodinger one-electron functions vary from r = 0 to infinity, they are reasonably complicated, have nodes, and so on--they will have an infinite number of Fourier components--they should radiate like blazes. When I saw Haus' paper, I knew that if Haus was correct, so was Mills. The Schrodinger wavefunctions would still be taught in my classes, but they were dead in the water. Even with these shortcuts, however, it is somewhat tedious to get up to speed with Mills' theory. One big stumbling block is the notion in my previous post: the electric field of a photon is manifested as surface charge when absorbed by matter. Electric fields are routinely manifested as surface charge, but not within the context of photon absorption by individual atoms or molecules. It happens when a resonator cavity absorbs microwave radiation. It happens when a photon of the right energy "produces" an electron (-e) and a positron (+e) -- pair production. But let Mills propose that surface charge is produced on the electron orbitsphere when a hydrogen atom absorbs a photon, some people go ballistic. Is this because they don't understand Dirac delta functions, or photons, or electric fields? I don't know. They certainly understand photons and electric fields within some context--maybe better that I do. For the particular case in question, suppose that you could magically reduce the nuclear charge of a proton from +1 to +1/2 (in effect this is what the absorbed photon does). An electron at the Bohr radius would no longer be force balanced-- it would be in force balance at 2 * Bohr radius. It takes no energy to get it there (as a matter of fact it loses kinetic energy as it moves farther away). In Mills' theory a photon with angular frequency of 3.10 x 10^16 rad per sec (20.4 eV) would provide the surface charge to move a *stationary* resonance cavity with charge -1 from the hydrogen radius (52.947 pm) to 2 * hydrogen radius. The resonance cavity is not stationary, however. An electron orbitsphere (radial Dirac delta function) at the Bohr radius, n = 1, has an angular velocity of 4.13 x 10^16 rad per sec (the general formula for the angular velocity is omega(subn) = hbar/[m * (n * a(subH)^2] where "m" is the electron mass and "a(subH)" is the hydrogen radius (52.947 pm). The angular velocity of an electron orbitsphere at 2* hydrogen radius, n = 2, is 1.03 x 10^16 rad per sec (formula above). The difference in the angular velocity of these two orbitspheres is 3.10 x 10^16 rad per sec. [Note that this is also the angular velocity of the photon required if the orbitsphere was stationary.] And the kinetic energy lost by the orbitsphere expanding from A(subH) to 2* a(subH) is 1.64 x 10^-18 J or 10.2 eV. That is, in the actual transition from n = 1 to n =2, the photon only requires an angular frequency of (3.10 x 10^16 rad per sec)/2 (that is, 1/2 of the energy for a stationary orbitsphere) because 1/2 of the energy is supplied by the decrease in the kinetic energy of the electron. [Please note, if you are interested, the Correspondence Principle holds for Mills' description of the process.] Well, I don't know if this helps. If it doesn't, I'm sure you will let me know.

Hello everybody,

I was wondering, since the gravity loss increases as frequency decreases, does this mean that a really good result would be obtained from a high-voltage DC power supply? In other words, use a frequency of zero?

The experiment would then have some similarity in concept to Townsend-Brownes capacitor experiments.

If it was a 'pure' fraud, he would have done better to make a slick video of a beautiful working machine, then take orders and skip. The basic ideas in his devices, especially the RMOG and PMOD, still seem to be valid to me, and there are other similar devices that are claimed to work, but not so similar that he could have simply copied them. For all the discussion and speculation about his motives there has been little about his ideas, which were first rate in my opinion. My best guess is he saw something anomalous, overcommited himself too soon, wore himself out trying to get everybody to see what he was seeing (remember the detailed replication instructions) and then got caught between investors and the clamoring internet public. He started out as a pure idealist, trying to get everyone in on the show, and, since there is never a pure anything without a shadow side, he flipped into pure cynicism when it all started to cave in on him. The strain was too much. That doesn't excuse his not living up to his committments, of course. But if he had been greedier and more self serving in the first place it never would have happened. Balance is all. Thanks for the clarification, Nick.

The simplified problem I described is actually most of the problem, as long as you allow for the fact that the two windings are at different radii. If we continue from where I left off last time, Flux = mu_o*pi*(r_o^2 - r_i^2)*n*I, where r_o and r_i are outer and inner winding radii, respectively. The inductance per unit length L' is then L' = n*Flux/I = mu_o*pi*(r_o^2 - r_i^2)*n^2. That's it. It is a good approximation if the length is much greater than radius. If r_o - r_i << r_o, the usual end effects are much smaller than with a single winding, because the radial field components of the two windings with opposite currents almost cancel, which means that the axial field is much more uniform than usual. This is an example of an approximation that preserves the important part of the problem while still simplifying the calculation. The next level of accuracy is probably to account for the little private flux linkages around the wires, not end effects. This two-coaxial-coil problem is a simple version of the calculation of the inductance of a multilayer coil, including the contribution of the finite winding thickness. This is an old standard problem, not a new one. Anyone who does electromagnetic calculations for part of his living, as I do, knows this. I don't think tensor calculus is either necessary or helpful here. ===== Michael J. Schaffer __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!

A very cheap method to obtain random bits for a one time pad is to drive a very fast flip-flop by a high frequency unstable oscillator signal, say a GHz, and then sample the flip-flop at the time a fast white noise generator rises above a trigger voltage selected to give about a 1 MHz sampling rate. A serial buffer can be used to cordinate sampling time with bit output timing. The white noise generator can consist of several op amps in series with an open input, or just another unstable oscillator that is higly isolated from the first. Adding white noise to oscillator output is one means of unstablizing the osciallator output. Some control logic added can drive a serial or parallel interface, or a memory mapped i/o interface on a PC card. The rest is software. This is cheap stuff to implement, and can provide a large increase in security, and in some applications, it can be done with little loss in communication performance (I know of some slick methods for implementation.)

IMO, crucifixion is earned by intent. I would crucify if the original intent was to defraud. In Greg's case, I think he is guilty of failure to perform. I also suspect that he did not profit much from this if he really spent the monies he claimed on manufacturing attempts. I have a friend who has relocated to Australia for the Olympics and he has promised to "look up" Greg when he has a chance. He is doing the same job there that he did here in Atlanta -- security. He's not Guido; but, he is Italian.

Suppose that Sam puts out a newsletter on some esoteric topic, takes subscriptions, and discovers that there isn't enough interest in the topic for him to make any money. By the time he figures that out, his savings are down to the point where he cannot give refunds on the unused portion of the few subscriptions that he has, and, embarrassed by the situation, he simply stops sending out issues, gets a day job, and puts the episode out of his mind. Result: subscribers eventually notice that no further issues are appearing in their mailboxes, and a few of them send off inquiries, to which they get no response. Question: Is Sam just a guy who got in over his head, is embarrassed, and lacks the character to admit that he messed up? Or does his failure to send out refunds as soon as he is able have the retroactive effect of making him a thief? In other words, does theft require premeditation? Frankly, I think it does. Such behavior may be reprehensible, but it is not the same thing as theft. --MJ}*** > >- Rick Monteverde >Honolulu, HI From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Thu Apr 6 12:40:30 2000 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id MAA32722; Thu, 6 Apr 2000 12:38:22 -0700 Resent-Date: Thu, 6 Apr 2000 12:38:22 -0700 Message-ID: <023001bfa007$d19b62e0$c7451d26 fjsparber> From: "Frederick Sparber" To: Cc: , Subject: Re: Cosmic Ray Positive Electrons; Positrons or Positrinos?

The oscillator you use should have two outputs, 90 degrees out of phase, in effect a sine and a cosine wave of the correct frequency. Then you multiply the input signal by both the sine and cosine waves and integrate over a period. The arctangent of the ratio of the two signals is the phase angle. The circuit is known as a Costos Combiner, and was developed in the early 60's by John Costos of GE. These days it can be done on a single chip. Look up the literature on phase-lock=loop chips. I know Motorola makes one, and probably Analog devices Linear, and TI do also.

Of course you're right Michael. Ignore the problem we are looking at, in which the length is on the same order as the radius. Instead, assume the length is very much larger than the radius, and approximate the axial field as nearly constant in the device. Radial fields are insignificant. Good enough for inductor design. So, no use looking any deeper. But, maybe there is. There is something fascinating about the radial fields, and perhaps useful. Thanks for the effort, but as you know, there is little point in trying to dissuade some folks from their evident folly. I'm already hooked, and unable to assume away the radial fields.

I am not trying to waste your time. I am trying to find a way of describing your theories, so that others who may have ignored you before will understand and be able to accept you. I would be sure to have you proof read the text so it did not say anything wrong. People may have dismissed some of your ideas because of the nature of the presentation, type of presentation, wording used or method of presentation. The object is to be clear and the accurate use of common terms. The further object is to be able to .. in an un ambiguous way to describe your theories in an enjoyable, readable way so that ANYONE, from lay person to expert will understand. Often, I have observed, when you make a statement it prompts a flurry of questions. It is my sincere belief that a coherent and accurate statement, employing well known, common, accurate and most important correct and accepted terminology will result in not being ignored and will result in clear understanding. Example: A teracher may be describing to a drivers' education student the proper way to turn at a stop light from a street with two-way traffic onto a street with one-way traffic and might state matters this way: "The right way to make a left turn onto a one way street is to is to make the turn and stay in the right lane for traffic so that you do not cross a lane in the wrong way." OR: The teacher might say; The correct and legal way to make a left turn onto a one way street from a stop light is to make the turn and stay in the left most lane of the one way street. This way you are not crossing any lanes but moving into the nearest lane available. Example: Even the simple use of punctuation is important. Consider these two sentences with the following situation. Two young children five and six are visiting Grandmother and it is the middle of a fine summer afternon and the children have been playing hard. The come into the kitchen to ask for something to eat and see that Grandmother is taking cookies out of the oven. They pipe up: " Let's eat, Grandma" ..... OR: They say "Let's eat Grandma!".... The latter is cannibalism. Example: Someone is feeling ill-at-ease in the stomach and they say: "I'm nauseous" OR: "I'm nauseated" The first term means they are capable of CAUSING some to BE the second term. Do you see a problem with this? John On Wed, 5 Apr 2000, David Dennard wrote: > I explained all of it at greenglow and they threw me off. I have explained > it a vortex-l and they ignore me.

I have kept some of this information back for some time, but now feel that maybe it is relevant to release it at this point in time, for informational purposes. If Greg Watson Himself receives a copy of this text, then I trust that He will accept the spirit and manner in which it has been presented, and will forgive me for opening a subject that I know caused Him and His family a great deal of anguish. What I know as background.. Well, Greg Watson, whom I knew in the mid-70's, was involved in starting up and running a small company promoting Computers for the general population, Down in Adelaide (the capital of South Australia) - about 100 Kliks south of me. I knew Greg personally back then, at a time when very few people knew anything about these "new fangled" computers. Greg, Peter (Christie), Terry (McCarthy), and a few others of us, were at that time all either building up systems (S-100 and etc), or had them up and running, and saw the potential for the future - remember that we are talking about a time well prior to the "Apple", "TRS-80" and certainly nowhere near the incursion of "Big Blue" into the computer market. This is near the time that William developed a "Disk Operating System", in fact we read then about this "Wizz-Kid" in the U.S, in the original "Dr Dobbs Journal" - then a Roneod' 1 or 2 page affair, who looked to have some potential, and was basically writing the same sort of things as we were here - Well History shows, that "Bill G" made it work, while the rest of us were still trying to work out if what we were doing was even a viable proposition - let alone a Global marketing possibility. Yes, the "Wizz-Kid", young William, made it - we did not, but no grudges are held on that score, the quick or the dead - not literally, only in a marketing sense. As far as I recall, Greg was instrumental in developing a number of dedicated control and command systems - all Computer based, He also had a good grasp of "74" series logic functions (this is to provide some indication of the technical background of the Person), those that understood complex "chip" functions back then - stood a good chance of making a reasonable future for themselves. We used to get together in the basement of a large Government establishment, mainly concerned with the Racing Industry in this state, this was a place where there were "real" computers, just upstairs from us, (mainframes - networked via 300 Baud modems, to consoles throughout South Australia), we could all talk about our thoughts for the future, some of us were involved in "RTTY" - or Radio Teletype, a wireless version of the then common "TTY" machines that were starting to appear in offices all over Australia. At the same time, we were writing software to drive our "large" Floppy disk drives ( 70K Micropolis - remember them??? ), and developing a "BIOS" and "BDOS" designed to just get our systems going, we had good input from "The Team", Greg was a willing contributor to this input process. I lost touch with Greg, and all but 1 member of "The Team", over the passing years, it was only through the various "Free-Energy" lists that I once again made His acquaintance, after a very long break. His fledgling company was, as far as I recall, quite successful in Adelaide, He made a good "go" of it, and I am certain that at that time, there were many satisfied customers. I among a few others, on this and other lists, supported Greg, in fact those that submitted "SMOT Results", would have done so using a little piece of Java-Script, that I donated to Greg, (the second only piece of script that I had ever written back then), I did this to assist in the project - well to me, this was my way of making a contribution to F-E research. Not all researchers at that time (as indeed now), were able, prepared or even in a position to purchase "kits" or donate any "physical" resources to the various ideas that were being promulgated at that time. Greg was one of the founders of the company that eventually became the ISP that I currently use, (Microtronics - of which the ISP division became "DOVE"). Nothing persoanl here, I get no "freebies" from them and have no contact or connection with tham. other than being one of several hundred subscribers. When did things start to turn "pear shaped"? There was an original member of the ISP's "crew" that left under circumstances that might be described as "unhappily", I know that not long after this, Greg received a number of VERY threatening telephone calls, that although could not, with any certainty, be "pinned" down to this individual, the finger very much pointed in this direction. In fact a few contacts between Greg and Myself seemed to narrow the field down to either this, or some other still currently unknown individual. This was just after (or roughly) the same time that Greg had reached the point of "SMOT" research, where He was ready to start the distribution of the kits. Yes, Greg stated that he went on and looked at Patents etc, and that His "legal eagles" had recommended against further public release of His results. I am in no way defending Gregs' actions, in regard to refunds or etc, that is a matter between the individual intended purchasers and Greg Himself, neither am I defending or denying the morality or otherwise of the ensuing actions. What I did want to highlight are some facts that until now, no one has probably been aware, the background information to me shows that Greg was a sincere person, if I had received threats of a similar nature to that which Greg had, - whether to do with a dismissed business partner or any other aspect of my (or my families) personal work or research, and which physically threatened my personal well-being, then I too might have "stepped back" a number of paces from any public contact. As the threats were never (to my knowledge), accurately defined to any particular individual, then the case is still an "open" one. Sure maybe Greg did do some wrong things, but I do not think it was financially oriented - Greg did not (AFAIK), "need" the money, he had a very sound background in that respect. Neither do I think that there were any "Black"(?) forces involved, I bracketed that expression, for obvious reasons, that some would readily understand, Australia - although we still do have some fairly draconian security provisions, do not normally experience suppression of that type. This may have been a problem borne by a small error, that grew a long way out of proportion, who else actually achieved a "SMOT Roll-Around" anywhere near those that Greg had managed to achieve? I think that the answer would be - not that many. Did Greg reach a point where he had committed to "GO", and got a little too deep, realising that what HE had, MIGHT not be capable of being reproduced by all and sundry? No one likes to admit to failure, in fact this is one of the greatest "fear factors" amongst most humans. There may have been a better way to admit that "you might not be able to achieve the same results.." - but Greg did not find it soon enough. There you have some data that until now, you would probably not have been fully aware of, I will not be entering into any "flame-wars" on this subject - in fact Bill B would not appreciate that happening at all on this list - this is NOT what it is all about. Short-Form - This is not a defence or otherwise, but in respect of making errors of judgement, or mistakes and unadmitted failures, who amongst us, can honestly state that they have never made an error that they have not publicly admitted? indeed, are we / can we totally state that we have always been entirely truthful with OURSELVES, at all times? I thank you for your time, and hope that you found the information of benefit. If you wish to pass personal comments (OFF THE LIST), then fine, I'll use my own judgement whether or not to respond, and will only do so in areas that address the topic from the angle that I have indicated.

Park Friday, 7 Apr 00 Washington, DC 1. DOE: RICHARDSON RELAXES BADGE REQUIREMENTS AT LABORATORIES. During a visit to Brookhaven last Friday, the Energy Secretary announced that the Department has dropped plans to require foreign employees to wear badges that prominently display their nationality (WN 28 Jan 00). Moreover, no matter what their nationality, employees at Brookhaven and other laboratories with limited classified activity will not be required to wear badges in unclassified areas, although they will be expected to produce their badge if requested by security personnel. Richardson's statement came as breath of fresh air. However, a spokesperson at DOE this morning was unable to provide WN with the names of the laboratories the policy would apply to. We were told not to expect additional information on the policy in the near future. 2. MIR: TWO COSMONAUTS RE-OCCUPY LEAKING SPACE STATION. Dan Goldin expressed dismay yesterday as two cosmonauts boarded the dilapidated space craft, which was abandoned eight months ago. With Russia far behind in delivery of its Zvezda Service Module for the ISS, the re-occupation of Mir is straining relations with the US, which is sorely embarrassed by the much delayed ISS. But Russia insists the Mir renovation was commercially financed by MirCorp, an international firm established by Gold & Appel, a holding company in the Cayman Islands, and RKK Energia (WN 14 Jan 00). Even as Goldin fumed, MirCorp announced it would finance a crew replacement mission to Mir in September. Sixteen years ago Ronald Reagan committed the US to build a space station "within a decade." Mir has been looking down at us for 15 of those years. 3. DIETARY SUPPLEMENT: THE RETURN OF "VITAMIN O." In November of 1998, USA Today carried a full page ad for "Vitamin O." What was it? "Vitamin O contains stabilized oxygen molecules in a solution of sodium chloride and distilled water" (WN 27 Nov 98). After we called attention to the ad, the Federal Trade Commission charged the supplier, Rose Creek Health Products, with fraud (WN 19 Mar 99), and the company was shut down. This week, we became aware of a new oxygen supplement, BiOxygen, offered by Beverly Sassoon & Co., http://www.bsassoon.net. And what is BiOxygen? "The components of BiOxygen are water, sodium chloride, and activated oxygen molecules." One difference: a two ounce bottle of BiOxygen costs $34.95, compared to only $20 for "Vitamin O." The recommended dose is again 15-20 drops, twice a day, or roughly 0.0000002% of your minimum daily requirement for oxygen. 4. START: PUTIN CALLS FOR FEWER--BUT MORE RELIABLE--WEAPONS. In his first major policy statement, Vladimir Putin, called for ratification of Start II, which has languished in the Duma for six years, and on to Start III. At the same time, he sought to satisfy the hard liners by calling for development of new weapons to replenish the deteriorating Russian stockpile (WN 20 Nov 99).

Perfect weather, though. I am a little footsore, I admit. Here is something from sci.physics.fusion. This text can be found at http://www.villagevoice.com/issues/0004/baard.shtml. DR. MOLECOOL BY ERIK BAARD Quantum Iconoclast Randell Mills's Grand Visions of Microscopic Medicine Randell Mills is a doctor better known for stirring up trouble in quantum physics than for giving flu shots. But now he's injecting new vigor into medical projects he claims will spur breakthroughs in fighting cancer and AIDS, as well as scanning the human body in three dimensions, in real time. "You'll go in to see your doctor and he'll check you out with my scanner," Mills predicts. "If he finds cancer, you'll be treated for it as an outpatient with my therapy. If he finds something else—hypertension, an infection, arthritis—almost any medicine that he'll use will be more efficacious when he uses my drug-delivery molecule." Mills is the founder of BlackLight Power Inc., based near Princeton, New Jersey. The company promises limitless clean energy and fantastic compounds, based on a "grand unified theory" that is hotly derided by luminaries in theoretical physics (see "Quantum Leap," Voice, December 28). Meanwhile, in a smaller laboratory down the hallway from those activities, Mills is quietly exploring medical innovations that no one seems to be calling nutty. Mills says he plans to fold his medical ventures into BlackLight Power after that company has its initial public offering of stock, anticipated this year. Profits would then be plowed into his medical pursuits, he adds. "To me it's all the same; it's all engineering," says Mills. Mills conceived many of his ideas while a student at Harvard Medical School or shortly after he graduated in 1986. Now 42, he acknowledges that it might seem odd that he backburnered early successes in medicine. He says he wanted to milk his brain while it was young and most nimble without the distractions of business or university politics. Today, he's ready to implement his designs. In December 1988, Mills proposed in the peer-reviewed journal Nature how cancer might be destroyed with such little radiation that it could be treated on an outpatient basis. He says he was moved to improve cancer treatment when, as a student, he witnessed the private hopelessness of doctors caring for an otherwise healthy woman who was being slowly ravaged by tumors. Currently, patients are carpet bombed with radiation in the hope that normal cells adjacent to cancer cells will be able to recover and reproduce, while malfunctioning cancer cells won't. Patients suffer terribly and injuries from repeated radiation can accumulate to a point where the cure itself threatens to become a killer. What Mills tested in mice were essentially the world's smallest smart bombs. Dr. Greg Gagnon, assistant professor of radiation medicine at Georgetown University Medical Center, has investigated Mills's radiation technique, called Mossbauer Isotopic Resonant Absorption of Gamma Emission, or MIRAGE. Gagnon says Mills found a molecule to carry iron into a cell and plant it flush against DNA, the control center. Then comes the detonation. The patient is given a tiny dose of gamma radiation, far less than a standard X ray. The gamma ray photons and iron atoms are tuned to react with each other in something called the Mossbauer isotope. When an iron nucleus absorbs a photon, it becomes unstable and releases a small burst of energy that knocks an electron out of its proper orbit, which then bumps outer electrons astray. What follows is an Auger cascade, a kind of microscopically localized electron explosion, Gagnon explains. "The electrons are shooting off, breaking things all over the place, and then the iron becomes attached to the DNA fragments. There's no way a cell can repair so much damage." Healthy cells tear apart the transport molecule and the iron drifts safely off. "It's just an amazingly clever idea. Randy is probably the most intelligent person I've met," remarks Gagnon. Dr. John Humm, a medical physicist now at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center who critiqued MIRAGE in Nature, argues that because such mild gamma rays wouldn't likely penetrate deep into tissue, "there would be severe limitations on clinical use. But having said that, this is nothing to sneeze at. The elegance of the idea is impressive. I know of no other way of so selectively inactivating sections of DNA." Scientists might instead embrace MIRAGE as a laboratory-setting microscopic cellular probe, Humm says. Mills counters that while MIRAGE may not work for every cancer, in the years since the Nature article, he's found other Mossbauer isotopes that can work at deeper levels. In addition, he says, the radiation used in his original tests was so negligible that he could increase it by a factor of 1000 without any resulting discomfort to the patient. Back then, Mills took a stab at bringingMIRAGE to hospitals, but researchers at would-be partner Bristol-Myers Squibb reported that test results weren't clear enough to pursue, according to M. Dianne DeFuria, senior director of business development. DeFuria doesn't remember details, but adds that another factor could have been that the radiation therapy "may have involved equipment beyond the scope of a pharmaceutical company, meaning that we couldn't take it further alone." Mills says he's since sharpened his technique to use ultrasound or magnetic scanners to take aim at malignant growths, and then destroy them with gamma rays pixel by pixel on a computer screen. Beyond that, he adds, "you should really think of this as a microscopic scalpel" good for cleaning out arteries and reducing swollen prostates, among other applications. "If Randy is now meeting with good success, I hope he will come back," DeFuria says. "His mind was certainly appreciated here." Mills has also demonstrated what might be a better way to use existing drugs to attack AIDS, herpes, and hepatitis. One of the problems doctors have in fighting these diseases is that the drugs best able to halt viruses and bacteria from reproducing often have trouble getting past cell membranes. They can be modified for that purpose, but that usually means dumbing down the medicinal value or causing side effects. Also, toxic concentrations of drugs must sometimes be used in hope that enough will get through. Mills has designed a type of nontoxic molecule to ferry unadulterated drugs into cells, says Dr. Jim A. Turpin, who manages a retrovirology lab at Serquest, a Southern Research Institute company. In Mills's approach, a drug enters the body as part of a molecule with three segments. Once past the membrane, the molecule will more likely encounter oxygen-free radicals, created during respiration, which exist inside cells in far greater numbers than outside. The radical excites the first section of the three-part molecule in a chemical reaction that should release a photon of light. But that light is instead channeled as bond-shattering disruptive energy running along the molecular carrier, which then falls away like the spent stage of a rocket. The drug is left alone to do its work, and the carrier is excreted as waste. Mills calls his system the Luminide method, because the carrier "is a light-powered drug-release molecule based on a reaction analogous to that used by fireflies to glow," and "it just sounds cool." Turpin tested the technique on HIV-infected white blood cells using the AIDS drug Foscarnet. With the Luminide carrier, "we measured a minimum ninefold enhancement of antiviral activity in tissue culture," Turpin says. Mills says he and Turpin will submit apaper on their findings to The Journal of Medicinal Chemistry in February. Tests in mice with Dupont Corporation have been successful, Mills claims, and he plans further studies in animals and humans. He adds that the method could be used for a host of applications, from antidepressants to plant pesticides, but purifying the compounds is difficult. The National Institutes of Health may be interested in getting behind that effort with its own manpower and resources. When presented with Luminide overview materials for an opinion, Dr. Nava Sarver, chief of NIH's targeted intervention branch in the Division of AIDS, was "a little more impressed than I thought I would be. There seems to be some real potential there." Sarver explains that her program helps scientists develop cutting-edge technologies without taking any profits or making patent claims. Luminide molecules appear to be suitable for oral administration, Sarver says, and "anything that increases potency and decreases toxicity is a go." Sarver cautions that many promising ideas stumble in the final steps of clinical testing. For Luminide to be closer to an ideal approach to treating AIDS, Sarver says she'd like to "tweak" it with Mills to target only infected cells or systems. "Specificity is the missing link here." Immunologist Dr. Gillian Woollett of Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America agrees that targeting will be important. "It's a neat idea and there will be a lot of companies keen to talk with him. But he has some hurdles ahead of him." If clinical trials for one drug are positive, Woollett says, "Maybe the floodgates will open. And AIDS is not a bad place to start. This system seems especially good for use in blood, and oxygen-free radicals are used most by the immune system." But AIDS and other infections aren't the most likely killers lurking in peoples' bodies, Mills points out. "Let me tell you how you're going to die," he casually offers. "I'll say you're going to die of heart disease, cancer, or a stroke, and I'll be right 95 percent of the time." That's why Mills has another project in the works at Harvard that he says could revolutionize diagnostic medical imaging. "The guy is amazing," remarks Dr. Samuel Patz, an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School, with an appointment in the Department of Radiology at the university's Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. "I've worked with him on his medical inventions and he's contributed some nontrivial creative ideas about a new imaging technique. It's very exciting and has some real possibilities," Patz says. Today's scanners work best by giving doctors two-dimensional snapshots of the human body. Mills claims he's designing a scanner that may, for example, allow a surgeon to take a live-image virtual reality walking tour through a patient's beating heart (it could also be used to scan industrial materials). Mills expounds. "The machine would work by distinguishing differences made in the magnetic field at a location by the material itself, like bone versus lung." Data would stream into a computer through parallel channels from up to a million points, providing far sharper relief than anything currently available. And if a strongly magnetic substance like iron were added to the bloodstream, through an injection of Geritol for example, "the vascular system would light up." That would allow a doctor and patient to see blood vessels growing to feed a tumor, or clots and cholesterol, without any invasion. "After seeing this, you wouldn't eat that cheesecake if I told you not to," Mills quips. The calculations involved are Herculean, says Patz, but "Randy has worked out the mathematics. I'm convinced of that." Because the scanner would largely rely on existing hardware, "if someone like a General Electric were to get behind this, we could have a prototype in six months," Mills says. Despite Mills's grand ambitions, he admits to being vexed by complexities in a genetic sequencer he envisions, and he dismisses dreams of immortality. "Life is probably limited by arterial flow in the brain. Those vessels wear out. Maybe someone will find a way of drilling out and retubing them, but then they'll find something else. There's always a weak link."

I think this would be is a relatively painless setup. Place two rectangular magnet facing to each other, and put a track for a steel ball between. A typical SMOT setup. The track should be flat, zero elevation. Put this whole setup on a sensitive fast responding balance. Roll the ball. As path of the ball is horizontal, no vertical acceleration components exist and cause no weight change on balance. Any of disturbance on balance scale would be understand as gravitational anomaly. Of course, as this setup is not equivalent to SMOT and not cover its many phases, negative results does NOT means that SMOT (if it had worked) had NOT profited from electromagnetic-gravitational interaction. ............................ : __N_ : : |____| __N_ : : S |____| : : ball S : : ==O==================== : : __N_ : : __N_ |____| : : |____| S : : S : :..........................: Top view.

To avoid mechanical disturbance when releasing the ball, it would practical to do with a small electromagnet which hold the ball until unpowered. An alternative way to test electromagnetic-gravitational interaction would be simply weight an running DC perm magnet motor. :) I'll going to test it now.

More to the point, if he is not a thief he has a legal obligation to explain his actions and apologize. "Lacking the character to admit that he messed up . . ." is not an acceptable excuse in court, whereas a declaration of bankrupcy is accepted. You have to formally admit you "messed up" and you are broke, and the judge has to agree, or by definition you are a thief. >And given the lapse of >time, it is beyond any reasonable doubt that he has made his choice.

Unfortunately for Mills, the reality is that the cavitation people have been doing this for years now. Dr. D'Arrigo in this country discovered over a decade ago that by dissolving Taxol into water soluable lipids and then cavitating them, not only would they give much better 3-D NMR imaging resolution, but the lipid/Taxol coated microbubbles would on their own attack cancer cells that were considered inoperable. Also, one of the major Japanese industrial companies (like Mitsubishi, but don't quote me) picked up on the idea, and further developed it with micronised iron particles attached to the microbubble walls that could be magnetically delivered to specific tumors, and then collapsed with ultrasound on target. The affected cells would blow up, basically. They also got the microbubbles to stop at specific locations for example, at ruptured arteries, and were able to collapse the bubbles to cauterize the rupture, mending the artery. It was claimed at the time to be a revolution in drug delivery, and non-invasive surgical technique. In each case, whenever the bubbles were collapsed they gave off the same light that Mills is claiming as well. The photos that I saw of the Japanese machines indicated that the hardware and software had already been quite highly developed, and this was maybe five years ago. So, really about all he can lay claim to in this regard is the possibility of novel iron compounds, and that is questionable if the same or better compounds have already been made with cavitation processes. This field is still relatively new, however, so there is a good chance for some patents on medicines, but the lagtime between invention and actual sales in the medicinal field is pretty long. Given the US's practice of using the CIA to spy on foreign corporations to steal technologies such as this, and Mill's connections in Reagan/Bush era government, it's a bit of a surprise that Mills isn't further along with his development of "his" newly revealed medical "revolution". It would save him a lot of lab work, no doubt. Of course, when one is busy redefining physics, inventing heaters, batteries, anti-gravity devices, doing press interviews, buying real estate, jacking up new investors for an IPO, hand holding old investors with promises of products and/or profits, writing books, revising webpages for legal boo-boos, shifting paradigms and whatnot, I supposed we could cut him some slack. The guy just seems to be all over the dance floor science and businesswise, and he is no Michael Jackson. His credibility would be greatly enhanced if he just focused on one thing instead of re-inventing the universe, engineered one actual product, and then either licensed it for manufacture or manufactured it himself. Everything else is just academic vaporware, and more government funding opportunities. Knuke Michael T.

Thank you Peter -ak- FYI, and for Vortex in case they do not have it-- in meantime. Best wishes, Peter <> About Cold Fusion Again Sergey Komarov 7 April 2000 Conversations about cold fusion — i.e. Related Alchemist story: nuclear reaction without applying high Hydrino - Catalyst - temperatures and pressure — is considered unseemly nowadays. But the question about the possibility of cold fusion is open to debate, according to an article in Chemistry & Life. Recently at the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Related websites: Russian Academy of Sciences Dr Andrey Chemistry and Life Lipson presented new experimental Russian Academy of evidence that cold fusion exists. The Sciences joint Russian-Japanese experiments were carried out in the Tohoku University, Tohoku University based in Sendai, using a specially designed accelerator which accelerated the deuterium atoms up to the energy of 2 keV (with the energy dispersion of 1% or ChemWeb.com search results: less) where a PdO-Pd-Au heterostructure 'cold fusion' was treated. As a result of a year long experiment, the spectrum of a sample neutron emanation was obtained where a meaningful peak was revealed at the energies of about 3 MeV (mega electron volts). The energy of the neutrons formed, by fusion of two deuterium nuclei, into a helium-3 nucleus. The calculations showed that the power of the nuclear reaction was 5x10-14 reactions per second/DD pair. Andrei Lipson considers, "The thermal effects are out of the question, and the phenomena observed are not interesting from the energetic point of view, because the process is not of massive character." The term "cold fusion" has now to consider as "the nuclear processes induced by the crystal lattice", i.e. as anomalous from vacuum nuclear collisions point of view stochastic low temperature nuclear processes (nuclear fusion with the neutrons emanation) taking place in the non-equilibrium solids. These processes are stimulated by the transformation of strain energy in the crystal lattice during phase transformations, mechanical effects, hydrogen sorption or desorption. The opinion of Professor Leonid Buchachenko from the Institute of Chemical Physics of Russian Academy of Sciences, is that this research gives new, more reliable and "more quantitative" evidence of reaction between deuterium nuclei in solids. At the same time there are still a lot of questions: e.g What is the mechanism of this phenomenon? How can the nuclei of deuterium overcome the Coulomb interaction? Why is the reaction more powerful in a "soft" lattice (i.e. in a lattice where the molecular mobility is high)? "Perhaps we need in some tunnel effect mechanism helping deuterium atoms to spring under the high but narrow barrier," suggested Leonid Buchachenko. "But," as he pointed out, "this phenomenon cannot be called a branching nuclear chain reaction."

Nevertheless, while I am glad you are speaking in somewhat measured tones about this, I must once again stress that, technically speaking, this is *not* theft--or even fraud for that matter. Both require premeditation. One cannot, in fact, retroactively become either a thief or a con man by failing to repay funds subsequent to a failure to perform. One would have to demonstrate in a court that there was never an intention to perform, in order to demonstrate fraud, which would be the only viable possibility here. (A thief simply takes what he wants when the owner is not looking--which means: he employs stealth, not deceit.) An example of fraud would be the common scam of selling "hot" goods out of the back of a truck in a parking lot. You show the sucker a nice TV, quote him a really great price which he believes because he thinks the goods are stolen, take his money, and give him a box which, when he gets home, he discovers contains a few bricks, rather than a TV. In such cases, intent to defraud is proven by the presence of the bricks in the box. Bottom line: charging Greg Watson with theft is not an option, because theft is precluded by definition. If you think he is guilty of a criminal act, the only viable charge would be one of fraud, but, at this remove, it would be damned hard to prove. --Mitchell Jones}*** And given the lapse of >time, it is beyond any reasonable doubt that he has made his choice. ***{The odds are strong that the man is a deadbeat: he apparently failed to repay monies tendered subsequent to his failure to perform. But unless you have evidence that he took something of value while the owner was not looking, you have no basis for charging him with theft; and unless you have evidence that he never intended to deliver the devices which he promised, you have no basis for charging him with fraud. While I applaud you for the qualifiers you inserted in your comments, it still looks to me like you are making the man out to be worse than he is. --MJ}*** > >Like the man said, "sometimes a cigar is just a cigar." ***{And sometimes a deadbeat is just a deadbeat. :-) --MJ}*** > >- Rick Monteverde >Honolulu, HI From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Sat Apr 8 10:11:55 2000 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id KAA10180; Sat, 8 Apr 2000 10:09:48 -0700 Resent-Date: Sat, 8 Apr 2000 10:09:48 -0700 Message-Id: <200004081719.MAA02739 cablecom.pearlriver.net> Date: Sat, 08 Apr 2000 11:11:38 CST From: John N Reply-to: John N To: vortex-l eskimo.com X-Mailer: J Street Mailer (build 98.6.3) Subject: A Bohr look at n=1/2 Resent-Message-ID: <"k4QAp.0.-U2.SVsxu" mx1> Resent-From: vortex-l eskimo.com X-Mailing-List: archive/latest/34949 X-Loop: vortex-l eskimo.com Precedence: list Resent-Sender: vortex-l-request eskimo.com Status: O X-Status: Mitchell Jones wrote: > > ***{Where does the electron of a normal hydrogen go when it interacts with > other atoms to form a compound?

The magnitude of the original Bohr equation, arbitrarily equating Coulombic and centripetal forces, can be written ke**2/r**2 = mv**2/r which, using mvr = nh_bar, leads to energy levels E = k'e**4 /n**2 Notice that both v and r are not present in the E equation, having been removed via the use of mvr = nh_bar. This means that any v can be used, specifically c = speed of light, and the derivation will produce the same energy result.. Restating, ke**2/r**2 = mc**2/r (notice c) will derive the same energy equation using mcr = nh_bar. The atom loses its *dynamic* (whizzing electron) nature.because the quantization is no longer angular momentum, but nothing else changes. The fact that the Bohr energy levels can be derived from c, rather than v, should be a tip-off that certain long established ideas within qm are arbitrary, and adherence to such not necessarily helpful in understanding the Mills spectra or a CF event. >> So, how does the hydrino form compounds? Suppose we take E = k' e**4/n**2 and substitute a double dose of a positive charge in the result. Thus, remembering proton - electron origin, E = k(2p)**2 (e)**2 / n**2 = 4ke**4/n**2 , = 4ke**4 (for n = 1, positive charge = 2) Or, separately, using n = 1/2, not recognizing that there are now two positive charges where there is supposed to be one, E = ke**4/(1/2)**2 = 4ke**4 (for n = 1/2, positive charge = 1) The presence of a (possibly unrecognized, but at least less publicized) second positive charge is the cause of the abnormal spectra. Or, at worst, is a counter explanation with as much status as fractional energy levels. The abnormal spectra exist. There is a cause. The abnormal hydrogen bonds fairly normally as a double positive. The second positive is a positron. John N Aside: There is a Mills spectra available from Pd-D2. Electron - positron annihilation initiates a CF event. A useful predictive tool is to treat the host atom as some internal element (a core sphere) surrounded by electron spheres of the outer shell. The systems (D+positron) or (p+positron) simply nestle into the outer spheres and will be stable as long as the outside environment is either nothing or has electrons from an outer shell adequately similar to those in the host outer shell (which don't annihilate with this positron). The only element pertinent to CF is a mechanism which enhances efficiency of the experiment.

Schewe and Ben Stein AN ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT MIMICS YEN-DOLLAR FLUCTUATIONS. In one of the latest examples of econophysics (Update 395), Hideki Takayasu of the Sony Computer Science Laboratories in Japan (takayasu csl.sony.co.jp) and his colleagues have designed an electrical circuit with voltage fluctuations that are highly similar to the fluctuations in a plot of the yen-dollar exchange rate. The Sony goal is to build a fast calculator for the prices of options which depend on exchange rates. In the world of currency exchange, options serve as an insurance policy for a future exchange rate. Buying an option means that you have the right to purchase currency at some point in the future at a predetermined price, even if the actual exchange rate at the time is against your favor. At the recent APS meeting in Minneapolis, Takayasu showed that graphs of yen-dollar fluctuations look remarkably similar at different time scales, suggesting a fractal behavior. The researchers then designed an inexpensive electrical circuit that produces highly similar fluctuations by employing naturally occurring electrical noise as the seeds for random variations.

Anyway... it's somewhat understandable that he wouldn't post videos of an operating device. It certainly would attract attention from far beyond the list, and if I were in his shoes, I'd think hard before bringing in massive publicity early. (But I might do it anyway.) But talking about the success, and showing it privately to friends and colleagues, is something different! If I achieved a rollaround, to say nothing of hours-long operation, I'd be dragging people in to see it (including the neighbors!), pushing NDAs left and right, and excitedly jabbering a blue streak about it. Greg never did this. He didn't ACT as if he achieved success. By this I mean that he didn't act like *I* would have acted. This might be explained by his secretive behavior. But sometimes secrecy is just an act, and it hides dishonesty, so when any inventor is being secretive, there is always reason not to be entirely trusting. And UNNECESSARY secrecy is a major clue to lies in progress, or pathological science (self-lies, rather than intentional lies.)

A gravity shield does not inherently require over-unity energy.

Apparently he uses this method only because it sounds good to the lay reader. Frankly, I can not understand why people take such interest in what this man says or believes. In any case, please excuse my frustration with the subject.

In any case, please excuse my frustration with the subject. Your frustration is absolutely understandable. Park is what my great-grandfather would call an "educated idiot," a person with plenty of book knowledge but not enough common sense or application sense to get out of a well lit room. Park gets the "gravity modification causes perpetual motion" and "gravity modification is impossible" ideas from ignoring facts: 1. He does not seem to understand that the device requires input energy to produce the effect (as Steven Florek pointed out) I guess park is saying we can't have water wheels, or electric motors, as they produce motion. But they all require input energy, the Podkletnov/Schnurer setups as well. 2. It doesn't matter what is theorized, in the end the experiment wins out. Funny, I seem to recall Park himself said this was true in his book. He seems to be forgetting regularly...perhaps a sign of early insanity? 3. He obviously did not read the papers by Podkletnov, Schnurer, and Modanese. They specifically said there was a wall of resistance at the edge of the effect region that had to be overcome to get access to the lessened gravity region. This would probably prevent Park's flywheel from happening. This is the point that really irritates me. No one reads the papers CAREFULLY before making judgements. Apologies for the rant. --Kyle R.

Huh, I wasn't aware that opinion on the 'gyromagnetic anomaly' had changed. Do you have any references on this shift? Of course I'll look for myself. I'd suggested early in the vortex-C list proceedings that torsion fields could alter the spin rate of electrons and further that what are called "vibrational levels" of different realities in new age lingo actually have the specific meaning of electron spin ratios-- like harmonics of spin. The other realities co-exist with this one and alteration of the spin ratios of matter allows this matter to be moved out of this reality and into one with a higher spin rate. It also allows the inertial properties of matter to be changed. These things occur in the Hutchison and Zinsser effects as well as some lesser known experiments.

All this in fact does remind me of experiments done inside pyramid structures which show large changes in inertial constants as seen in chart recordings of a motorized gyroscope. Also, masses suspended inside a pyramid PUSH APART over time. Discussion of pyramids is justified since we are talking about engineering of space with geometry.

This would explain the findings of Reich who discovered electroscope anomalies around orgone accumulators (capacitor like structures) and alterations in the ionization potential of gasses in sealed tubes placed in an orac. The electrostatic gradiometer of Bob Shannon, which we have successfully used to find natural "vortex points" (torsion generators?) measures, as the name implies, the voltage gradient within the area of the test probes. > > > > Further, I can see this in the gravitational-warp capacitor. > > There is not enough elelectrical potential difference > > available to account for the amount of electrical > > flux within the device.

All this remains in abeyance as far as the gravity capacitor is concerned but it is perfectly applicable to the already proven Biefeld-Brown effect. The "Electrogavitics Report" at http://www.cufon.org/cufon/elecgrav.htm says: "The original Brown rig produced 30 fps on a voltage of around 50,000 and a small amount of current in the milliamp range." > > > > Anyone want to launch something? Of course if permittivity of space can be changed without using energy, then this is also an apparent violation of conservation laws as well-- a violation which can be accommodated if time is made a dependent variable.

(electrons would tend to >leak out the ends, leaving only positively charged nuclei in the trap). It doesn't work in the straightforward way for hot fusion, because, as you point out, one can only contain charges of one sign. The electric field from the trapped ion charge grows as one increases the ion density, because there is no neutralizing negative charge. It turns out that electric field gets outlandishly large before the ion density gets large enough to be interesting (if you will, a manifestation of the large ion Coulomb cross section (barrier) relative to the small nuclear size. However, modifications to the basic Penning trap improve performance. There is a small program going on at Los Alamos Nat. Lab to try to see if there is a clever way to get around this huge problem and maybe find another path to fusion energy. ===== Michael J.

What I am saying is that, from the perspective of an outsider, it is virtually impossible to rationally assess these kinds of disputes. What we know is that charges are being hurled and denied; what we lack are the crucial details upon which a judgment of criminal culpability must be based. Thus we cannot know whether we are dealing with failure to perform, which is a civil wrong, or with fraud, which is criminal. Why can't we know? Because we are not in the position of a judge. We have no criminal sanctions to hold over the heads of the various parties to this dispute, by means of which we might induce them to hand over bank records, etc. Without that kind of information, we are limited to guessing. If you reply that Greg Watson's story has changed over the years, for example (I'm not saying it did, mind you), and claim that proves fraudulent intent, I would respond by suggesting that he may simply not have the money to repay what he owes, but may be too embarrassed to admit it. I noticed, in an earlier post, suggestions that in his youth Greg Watson was doing well financially--that he was involved with cutting edge computer technology, or some such, that he founded a business, etc. Well, maybe it didn't work out for him. On his website, he is listed as a "semi-retired computer consultant" while his wife is working in a bank. If "semi-retired" meant "comfortably well off," why is his wife working? Granted, she may like her job. Granted, he may still have substantial income from consulting. On the other hand, this is not necessarily the case. In other words, the truth may be different from what he is saying, but it may not reflect criminality. Again, please recognize that I am not talking about Greg Watson, per se. My point is about an underlying principle--to wit: that we, as outsiders, are in an exceedingly poor position to judge disputes between other people. We should recognize the inherent limitations of our positions, and decline to hurl charges of criminality in public forums. These are matters for courts to decide, and those court proceedings, properly, should be initiated by the parties involved, not by outsiders. If you want to warn others to not send money to someone, you should speak in carefully measured tones. Say something such as "I have been told by several people that so-and-so has accepted payment for device X and has failed to deliver, so be forewarned." If you want to go further, and put forth the opinion that the behavior is criminal, the preferred venue is private discussions. Why do I say this, given that it is possible to engage in slanderous public speculations while hiding behind court approved weasel words? Simple: that type of muck-raking has the potential to attract the attention of an unscrupulous prosecutor who, eager to appear to "protect the public"--i.e., to gain votes in the next election--will file charges and, quite possibly, wreck an innocent person's life. Remember: defending yourself against prosecution, even if you are innocent, can cost tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. You don't get that money back if you are found "not guilty," and if you don't have the money for an adequate defense, you may go to jail even if you are innocent. Bottom line: muck-raking, yellow-dog journalism has a long and sordid history of wrecking innocent lives, and, as ethical human beings, we should not engage in it. It is as simple as that. --Mitchell Jones}*** > >I for one don't dislike the man, nor do I much >like him.

I know Fred asked this already, but please provide us some references. On the subject of changes in the vacuum permittivity. What would you make of the following scenario? I make a ring laser gyroscope, and rotate it at some high angular velocity. Now it is well known that the speed of light will vary depending on the direction of travel around the ring, would you consider this to be a change in permittivity? permeability? Or perhaps a change in both, such that the velocity changes but the impedence remain constant? How would you go about proving any of these case... K.

It is in a spectacular location on top of a mountain. The building was constructed at the height of the "bubble" economy. It looks like a Hollywood sound stage, reeking of money. The hotel was a typical garish 1980s white elephant. Since it was inaccessible and overpriced, it lost money from the start, and the deed to the property bounced around from desperate real estate developers with alleged mob connections to some kind of quasi- public prefectural corporation, I think it was. The hotel was already bankrupt during ICCF 6, and I heard the conference organizers squeezed the management to get a good deal on the rooms. Soon after that the place was shut down for good, and the building abandoned. The hotel is in the news this week, in the Yomiuri newspaper, April 9 ed. Early this month a volcano three kilometers away from the hotel began erupting. The building has huge glass picture windows facing the volcano, and the location is about the crater (or whatever they call it), looking down. It is an ideal place to observe the eruption if you don't mind being asphyxiated or crushed by falling rocks. The reporter expressed "some anxiety" about that. A photograph shows several reporters are ensconced in the gigantic lobby, up all hours of the day and night looking out the window. It reads like the diary of the reporter, describing the surrealistic living conditions in this former luxury hotel, which now has no electricity or heat and only one working toilet. A camping trip inside a luxury hotel. The reporters are "too exhausted to talk" and they eat mostly chocolate emergency rations. Old dirty wine glasses and silverware were left around on the tables when the building was abandoned. Oddly enough, it does not mention whether are any volcanologists are there with the reporters. Maybe they do not feel comfortable so close to the eruption? It sounds a little being marooned in a luxury villa in Pompeii in A.D. 79. Still, if I had an opportunity to go there today, I'd do it. It sounds sorta fun! - Jed From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Tue Apr 11 11:20:13 2000 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id LAA23125; Tue, 11 Apr 2000 11:18:29 -0700 Resent-Date: Tue, 11 Apr 2000 11:18:29 -0700 Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Tue, 11 Apr 2000 10:33:19 -0800 To: vortex-l eskimo.com From: hheffner mtaonline.net (Horace Heffner) Subject: Re: You ought to READ the papers. , Gravity Drive Need Not Violate First , Law Resent-Message-ID: <"XwL642.0.Df5.pnsyu" mx1> Resent-From: vortex-l eskimo.com Reply-To: vortex-l eskimo.com X-Mailing-List: archive/latest/34989 X-Loop: vortex-l eskimo.com Precedence: list Resent-Sender: vortex-l-request eskimo.com Status: O X-Status: At 5:53 PM 4/10/0, John Schnurer wrote: > If you move into the area of lessened gravity from thrside, you >have to exert fource until you get to the lessened part... and it is a >break even of the two... no loss, no gain. > > J I have read the articles. This cannot be true that energy is conserved and also the orginal observation that smoke rises over the device also be true. The smoke laden air had to displace both into the coulmn and out of it. A lateral force for a short fixed distance can not make up for lack of force for a non-fixed (arbitrary) vertical rise. Energy can not be conserved if the device works as documented. Of course I should be on record as not being of the cult that believes in the universal intractability of thermodynamics. I do not see violation of COE as denial that the device works as documented (though lack of successful replication may be a strong negative indicator.) The logic of thermodynamics is acceptable but the premises are not in the sense that they can rule supreme over experiment. IMHO, theory always bows to experiment - except in religion and law. Since Park is operating purely in the world of faith, not science, his evangelical position is understandable.

That's awful. Volcanos can be scary. The ones in Washington state improve the soil, but I would prefer not to live near one. One of them popped out of the ground in Mexico in 1944 I think it was. People who were not living next to one woke up to find one had moved in and taken over the neighborhood. - Jed From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Wed Apr 12 06:45:06 2000 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id GAA19687; Wed, 12 Apr 2000 06:42:04 -0700 Resent-Date: Wed, 12 Apr 2000 06:42:04 -0700 Message-ID: <905DD86907DAD3119DE70000778D770F33E8DB mailsrv1.itu.ch> From: "Dishy-Peiris, Elise" To: "'vortex-l eskimo.com'" Subject: RE: evidence of giant whirlpools Date: Wed, 12 Apr 2000 15:41:22 +0200 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2650.21) Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by mx1.eskimo.com id GAA19666 Resent-Message-ID: <"CUFza3.0.Xp4.iq7zu" mx1> Resent-From: vortex-l eskimo.com Reply-To: vortex-l eskimo.com X-Mailing-List: archive/latest/34999 X-Loop: vortex-l eskimo.com Precedence: list Resent-Sender: vortex-l-request eskimo.com Status: RO X-Status: Thanks for the info, Hank.

The de Broglie wavelength lambda is actually described in terms of *momentum* p: lambda = h/p where p is the relativistic p given by p = gamma * m0 * v = [(E^2 - E0^2)^0.5]/c [note correction] where E is energy, E0 is rest energy, and gamma is given by: gamma = (1 - v^2/c^2)^(-1/2) Note that as the mass of a particle approaches c its de Broglie wavelength approaches that of a photon with similar energy, because: as E/E0 -> inf, p = (E^2 - E0^2)^0.5/c -> E/c which is the momentum of a photon of similar energy E, thus producing a similar wavelength lambda = h/p.

(A cone > would be similar and simpler, I guess) The answer depends on the directions ofthe currents relative to each other. One particular case: If each coil has the same number of turns and carries the same current, and the the currents all flow in the same sense (either all clockwise or all counter clockwise, as viewed from outside the pyramid), and if the conductor diameters are infinitessimally small, so that the currents from neighboring coils are arbitrarily close to their neighbors, then the neighboring currents of each leg are equal and opposite and their effect cancels. Therefore, the magnetic field is zero. (I'm not a mathematical genius.) > on a similar vein what might the field be if the coil was a sphere?? First tell me how you make a coil that is a sphere. A sphere looks the same from every vantage point. It has no favored direction. It is isotropic. A coil is a path of directed current. It has direction at any given point. It cannot be isotropic like a sphere. ===== Michael J. Schaffer __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send online invitations with Yahoo!

Park Friday, 14 Apr 00 Washington, DC 1. FLASH!! DUMA RATIFIES START II BY 288 TO 131. A vastly more serious threat to the U.S. than an attack from a rogue state is still an accidental or unauthorized launch from Russia. That danger was cut in half this morning when the Duma, after stalling for six years, followed the urging of President-elect Vladimir Putin and ratified START II. The cost of maintaining Russia's aging nuclear arsenal may have been a major factor (WN 20 Nov 98). It is, nevertheless, a major victory for the new Russian leader, demonstrating that he is firmly in charge just two days before his debut trip to the West. This opens the way for a discussion of Start III, and U.S. plans for a missile defense system that would undermine the 1972 Missile Defense Treaty. 2. MISSILE DEFENSE: COUNTERMEASURES REPORT CALLS FOR DELAY. A panel of senior scientists convened by the Union of Concerned Scientists has concluded that the National Missile Defense system currently being tested is ineffective, and called for deferring a decision on deployment. A government intelligence report issued last September acknowledged that emerging missile states are capable of using decoys. Alas, the NMD system, has so far not proven to be effective even against targets without real countermeasures (WN 24 Mar 00). The Pentagon plans just one more attempt at a clean hit before the President's scheduled October decision on deployment. The system has no prospect of defending against missiles delivering chemical or biological weapons, which would likely be divided into hundreds of small warheads for better distribution (though why a rogue nation would bother with missiles for delivery of such weapons remains unclear). If there is an explicit and credible missile threat from a rogue state, the panel noted, its missiles could be destroyed before they are launched, in accordance with the right of self-defense. The only real defense against missile attacks is still deterrence. The report and an animation are available at www.ucsua.org/arms/. 3. CREATIONISM: OKLAHOMA HOUSE CASTS A VOTE FOR MONOTHEISM. You will recall that last fall the Oklahoma state textbook committee voted to affix a statement to any biology text warning unwary students that "evolution is a controversial theory" (WN 12 Nov 99). The Oklahoma Attorney General, however, ruled that the committee lacked the authority to require such a statement. This week, the Oklahoma House of Representatives voted unanimously for a bill that gives the committee authority to insert "a summary, opinion, or disclaimer" into any textbook they please. What's more, the textbook committee was directed to "ensure that the textbooks include acknowledgment that human life was created by one God of the universe." The Representatives showed admirable restraint in not specifying which God they had in mind. They then voted narrowly to send the bill back to a House-Senate committee, whose chair vows she will not allow it to resurface.

If you carefully distribute the winding to be proportional to the sine of the latitude, you will get exactly a uniform field inside and a dipole outside. If you take a very long, small diameter winding, such as one consisting of a fine wire wound over a long plastic wire former, which might be what you had in mine, then the magnetic field will stay almost entirely within the plastic former, with very little leaking out. Therefore, no matter how you wind and weave the long, small diameter coil over the surface of the sphere, the field both inside and outside will be almost zero, differing only by the imperfections of the long winding and a little flux entering end leaving its ends. ===== Michael J.

Yesterday I filled my two Dewars with hot water and let the data acquisition system record the cooling curve. Calculations today indicate that one of the Dewars is effectively full of air and the other one is only somewhat better. Neither is close to proper thermal performance, which Mills Dewar's had when he did the experiment. I called Pope and, even though I bought the Dewars thru Cole-Parmer, Pope agreed to replace my Dewars directly with new, TESTED ones. They should be here in a couple of days. Yes, Jed, the experiment would probably go faster if I deliberately ruined the vacuum but then that wouldn't be a hifi replication, would it?

This is a fascinating article about the >obstacles that have been placed in the path of "cold fusion." --MJ I just got this message from one of the Seattle underground rags that I read. ********************* On April 3 Governor Gary Locke signed a bill that allows British Nuclear Fuels Ltd. (BNFL) to not pay property taxes on a glassification plant it's scheduled to build at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. This amounts to about one billion dollars that won't be flowing through Washington State coffers, all from the largest project in Hanfords history. But wait, it gets worse. The governor's signature came only days after the Department of Energy had sent a team of investigators over to England to look into BNFL's latest scandal. Apparently both Germany and Japan returned shipments of BNFL-produced fuel pellets intended for use in their nuclear reactors after discovering that BNFL had falsified the fuels quality assurance records. So why didn't the governor give BNFL the boot instead of a billion dollar break? --Mike McCormick ******************* Knuke Michael T.

The authors have a peculiar way of expressing themselves in places: Meanwhile, the 40,000 sq. ft. greenhouse which was to be heated by the Agni boiler decided to go out of business, so it became necessary to seek a new site to install the prototype. I didn't know greenhouses were sentient . . . I do not see how biomass can reduce carbon buildup, since coal, oil and gas are ancient biomass too, but "fresh" biomass is a lot easier to access than coal. You do not have to chop apart mountains to reach waste wood, sawdust or garbage. It is right there, and it has to be disposed of, so it makes sense to burn it. As this report explains, this stuff is no longer "dirty" to burn, the way it was with old-style incinerators, which were an environmental horror story. Any landfill acts as a natural gassification plant. The big ones are now designed with pipes to collect the gas, burn it, and generate electricity. - Jed From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Wed Apr 19 08:56:01 2000 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id IAA18843; Wed, 19 Apr 2000 08:53:59 -0700 Resent-Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2000 08:53:59 -0700 Message-ID: <003e01bfaa1f$997d5860$fc441d26 fjsparber> From: "Frederick Sparber" To: References: <3.0.6.32.20000419092656.007b7260 pop.mindspring.com> Subject: Re: DOE-report on Biomass Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2000 09:51:30 -0700 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2615.200 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2615.200 Resent-Message-ID: <"9Nk183.0.Lc4.NQT_u" mx1> Resent-From: vortex-l eskimo.com Reply-To: vortex-l eskimo.com X-Mailing-List: archive/latest/35026 X-Loop: vortex-l eskimo.com Precedence: list Resent-Sender: vortex-l-request eskimo.com Status: O X-Status: ----- Original Message ----- From: Jed Rothwell To: Sent: Wednesday, April 19, 2000 6:26 AM Subject: Re: DOE-report on Biomass Jed wrote: > > I do not see how biomass can reduce carbon buildup, since coal, oil and gas > are ancient biomass too, but "fresh" biomass is a lot easier to access > than coal. For every 12 pounds of fossil "ancient carbon" that took eons to fix,that is mined and burned, you add 44 pounds of CO2 to the atmosphere and deplete 32 pounds of O2. C + O2 ----> CO2 or CH4 + 2 O2 ---> CO2 + 2 H2O. The biomass that has to photosynthesize (Fix) this added CO2 is also being depleted by the Earths tenents.

Yes, but if you don't burn the methane seeping out of them, the CH4 is a worse Ozone Layer disrupting species than the Chlorine-Fluorine molecules.

While I am in favor of biomass energy, I do not see the logic of this. Compare: Case 1: You bury a kilogram of carbon in a landfill as newspaper, and you dig up another kilogram of carbon as coal, and burn it. Case 2: You gassify and burn the kilogram of carbon from the newspaper instead of burying it, and you leave the coal where it is. It seems to me the net CO2 inventory comes out the same, as long as the amount of carbon based energy generated is the same. Case 2 is the more sensible course of action when gassification is done properly. Pollution from the competing processes, such as slag pile run off or gasification leaks are complicated and vary with the technology and the investment, but the CO2 comes out the same. Now, if you leave the newspaper outside to rot, or flush it down a river, that's another story. But when it is sequestered in a landfill the carbon goes out of the loop. (That is, until people discover a use for it and 22nd century robots dig it up. I expect that will be the fate of our landfills.) The real answer is to stop using carbon energy, and use wind, solar, fission or CF instead. But as long as we have mountains of sawdust and chickenshit lying around, and we need the energy, it is better to burn them than bury them. In a related issue, I do not understand these fabulously expensive and problematic looking schemes to sequester carbon from a coal-burning plant under the ocean bed. It seems to me they would be sequestering carbon and oxygen, which misses the point. The problem is the ratio of C to O in the air. - Jed From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Wed Apr 19 10:19:17 2000 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id KAA21056; Wed, 19 Apr 2000 10:16:00 -0700 Resent-Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2000 10:16:00 -0700 Message-ID: <004801bfaa2b$0f7b07a0$fc441d26 fjsparber> From: "Frederick Sparber" To: References: <3.0.6.32.20000419092656.007b7260 pop.mindspring.com> <3.0.6.32.20000419121723.007b6640@pop.mindspring.com> Subject: Re: DOE-report on Biomass Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2000 11:12:41 -0700 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2615.200 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2615.200 Resent-Message-ID: <"pK2hd.0.s85.FdU_u" mx1> Resent-From: vortex-l eskimo.com Reply-To: vortex-l eskimo.com X-Mailing-List: archive/latest/35028 X-Loop: vortex-l eskimo.com Precedence: list Resent-Sender: vortex-l-request eskimo.com Status: O X-Status: ----- Original Message ----- From: Jed Rothwell To: ; Sent: Wednesday, April 19, 2000 9:17 AM Subject: Re: DOE-report on Biomass Jed wrote: > Frederick Sparber wrote: > > >The biomass that has to photosynthesize (Fix) this added CO2 is also being > >depleted by the Earths tenants. > > > >"Recycled" Fresh Biomass Does Not Add to the net CO2 inventory. > > While I am in favor of biomass energy, I do not see the logic of this. > Compare: > > Case 1: You bury a kilogram of carbon in a landfill as newspaper, and you > dig up another kilogram of carbon as coal, and burn it. How many kilograms of fossil carbon goes out the exhaust pipe of that gas buggy, or out the stacks of natural gas or fuel oil-burning power plants and home chimneys? If you bury the newspaper in a dry landfill where anerobic bacteria cannot metabolize it then it would be an even swap. That along with non-biodegradables such as plastics that I send to a DRY landfill every Thursday is why I Don't Recycle. > > Case 2: You gassify and burn the kilogram of carbon from the newspaper > instead of burying it, and you leave the coal where it is.

PBS (Frontline) had a program on Global Warming last night. Seems more political than scientific. But, when the oceans warm up a few degrees and dump part of their dissolved CO2 into the atmosphere causing more "Greenhouse Effect" thus turning the biomass in them into rotting cesspools, it might be too late. > > In a related issue, I do not understand these fabulously expensive and > problematic looking schemes to sequester carbon from a coal-burning plant > under the ocean bed.

Actually, methane is BOTH a greenhouse gas and an ozone depleter. However, all those things you and Sparber have discussed pale before the largest generators of methane: termite and bovine flatulence. Luckily, a new feed can reduce the latter. See: http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20000412/sc/science_warming_2.html BTW, cows eject methane from both ends. The cow belch could destroy humanity. Eat more chiken! It's the digestion of cellulose which generates so much of that noxious gas. (Oh, I wondered why you hadn't written much here until I read SPF today. Give 'em hell, Jed!)

Evidently, BNFL is the lead contractor on several DOE nuclear Superfund sites that have been having "cost and effectiveness" trouble. After BFNL got the Hanford clean-up contract, they immediately nearly doubled the cost estimate from 9 billion to 13 billion bucks. Then they appointed a guy named Lawrence to head up the project at the start-up, but took away all design and fiscal control from him. I'm not sure if Lawrence is a US citizen or not, but BFNL basically appointed him as general manager, then took away all his authority and made him into more or less a figurehead, effectively transferring control over Hanford to the British BNFL main office. As a result, he resigned a couple of days ago. To me, it says that under WTO agreement, not only does the rest of the world business community have the ability to buy the influence of high level US government officials with regard to contracting and tax breaks that are worth tens of billions for *each* project. They also can gain a grossly inordinate amount of control over the handling of such sensitive and potentially dangerous materials such as nuclear waste on US soil. All totalled, it turns the US democratic and regulatory processes into commodities that can be bought and sold by anyone in the world for the few peanuts it takes to get the pretty boys into the White House and Congress. We ourselves are being colonized now by corrupt foreign corporations who have even less regard for the well being of the citizenry than our own corrupt corporations. This is no way to run a world.

Mills and three other persons were granted patent 6,024,935 on Feb. 15, 2,000 on an application filed on March 21, 1997. The filing date is almost eight years from the date of Pon's & Fleischman's announcement (by University of Utah) of "CF in a bottle". The Abstract of the patent application has been posted by Blacklight Power on its web Site for some time now, but the actual patent details were not provided. Most curious were its 499 claims on the patent to buttress its application. Also interesting was the structure of the application. It might be an interesting guideline for future CF patent applications coming along. I have been finding, on study, that more than likely important patents can be a fragile privilege and a process that can easily eat up time and fortunes and promise no results. And the granted patents can be overturned later on 're-examination' by the Patent Office on request. Anyway, look into <> or start from <> and work to the patent. Thanks to IBM for the online service. -AK- From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Thu Apr 20 02:46:43 2000 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id CAA09742; Thu, 20 Apr 2000 02:40:50 -0700 Resent-Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2000 02:40:50 -0700 Mime-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: In-Reply-To: <20000420011942546.AAA44 mail.lcia.com@lizard> References: <20000420011942546.AAA44 mail.lcia.com@lizard> Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2000 23:40:39 -1000 To: vortex-l eskimo.com From: Rick Monteverde Subject: Re: Squelching the Competition: Minor Correction Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" Resent-Message-ID: <"rjBRg3.0.6O2.V2j_u" mx1> Resent-From: vortex-l eskimo.com Reply-To: vortex-l eskimo.com X-Mailing-List: archive/latest/35041 X-Loop: vortex-l eskimo.com Precedence: list Resent-Sender: vortex-l-request eskimo.com Status: O X-Status: At 9:19 PM -0400 4/19/00, Michael T Huffman wrote: >Sorry.

As I have pointed out here in the past, CO2 is food for plants, and the atmospheric levels have been many orders of magnitude higher in the past than they are today without producing any sort of global meltdown. Moreover, the impact on atmospheric CO2 by the upthrust of new rock face that you pointed out is unarguable, documented fact. Untold trillions of tons of atmospheric CO2 have been bound into limestone as a consequence of this process, and denied to the biosphere. That's why all the screeching about the dangers CO2 production by the continued burning of fossil fuels are a horror story concocted by the morally and intellectually challenged, and nothing more. The only significant effect of man's CO2 production is a beneficial one: the expansion of the biosphere. In point of fact, the strongest criticism that can be directed at nuclear power is that, if it were to replace the burning of fossil fuels, this source of CO2 production would be eliminated. --Mitchell Jones}*** From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Thu Apr 20 08:08:11 2000 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id IAA29907; Thu, 20 Apr 2000 08:06:58 -0700 Resent-Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2000 08:06:58 -0700 Message-ID: <001e01bfaada$09940030$0104000a craig> From: "Craig Haynie" To: References: <38FEDCC5.997CBC9C ix.netcom.com> Subject: Re: re Mills' US Patent 06,024,935 details viewed online Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2000 10:06:41 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2919.6600 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2919.6600 Resent-Message-ID: <"fmmOs.0.DJ7.Iqn_u" mx1> Resent-From: vortex-l eskimo.com Reply-To: vortex-l eskimo.com X-Mailing-List: archive/latest/35046 X-Loop: vortex-l eskimo.com Precedence: list Resent-Sender: vortex-l-request eskimo.com Status: O X-Status: This link seems to work: http://www.patents.ibm.com/details?&pn=US06024935__ > It seems, on testing, the listed address for > Mills Patent details do not work as copied. > The other way to access the patent details is > to let a web searcher look under 'IBM > Intellectual Property Network' then go from > there. > > -ak- > From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Thu Apr 20 12:00:15 2000 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id LAA23065; Thu, 20 Apr 2000 11:58:35 -0700 Resent-Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2000 11:58:35 -0700 Message-ID: <38FF5319.D73433A2 ix.netcom.com> Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2000 11:57:29 -0700 From: Akira Kawasaki X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.5 [en] (Win95; I) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: "vortex-l eskimo.com" Subject: Mills' patent access address correction.

The gyrotron is normally used to turn electron beam energy into microwave energy. It is not clear how this would apply to a plasma without the electron beam. - The relevant section of the primer states: The electron rotational frequency is proportional to the magnetic field, and has a relativistic dependence on the electron velocity. As a result, azimuthal (rather than axial) bunching of the beam can occur, as depicted in the figure below, if the electron cyclotron frequency is near that of a resonant cavity mode. This azimuthal bunching effect is also known as the *electron cyclotron maser instability*, and can result in the transfer of significant amounts of power from the electron beam to the excited mode. - Perhaps the "electron cyclotron maser instability" is capable of operating in a plasma with a random set of electron trajectories. The azimuthal bunching could result in increased coherence at the cavity resonant frequency. - George Holz george varisys.com Varitronics Systems 1924 US Hwy 22 East Bound Brook, NJ 08805 From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Thu Apr 20 21:28:45 2000 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id VAA10924; Thu, 20 Apr 2000 21:25:18 -0700 Resent-Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2000 21:25:18 -0700 Message-ID: <38FFD84B.4E714D5F home.com> Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2000 21:25:47 -0700 From: "Hoyt A.

I want to just generally ramble a bit generally. Firstly, I'd like to call your attention to an article by Dewey B. Larson: http://www.interpres.cz/sr/rs/dimmot/dimmot.htm http://www.interpres.cz/sr/rs This is the article that first got my interest up in his "Reciprocal System" of physics, a unified general theory. It's the first coherent explanation of what magnetism and gravity really are. He's also showed that all physical units can be expressed in terms of the dimensions of space and time only, no separate units for charge, etc. Quite an accomplishment I think. One thing led to another and now I'm president of the "International Society of Unified Science, Inc", a group dedicated to promoting Larson's theory. Most of the discussions on Vortex-L are based on conventional physical theory. I'd like to suggest that if you really want to get new insights, look at things from Larson's new perspective, where everything is composed only of geometrical assemblies of the fundamental particle, the "unit-of-motion" or "space-time-unit". Caution, though. You can't mix the two approaches, you'll get nonsense. But then, it seems, a great amount of conventional physics is nonsense :-). Here are just a few of Larson's conclusions: Atoms are essentially agglomerations of units of motion, and more particularly photons that are constantly changing direction so as to loop onto themselves. To convert mass to energy, the photons are just straightened out to linear radiation. Gravity is 3 dimensional inward scalar motion, Magnetism is two dimensional inward scalar motion, and electric fields are 1 dimensional scalar motion. Moving a mass (3d) through a magnetic field (2d) leaves an electric field residue (1d). This implies (my interpretation and invention) that when an electric current is passed through a conductor creating a magnetic field, the magnetic field is a residue of the 3d gravity (mass) of the conductor where one of the dimensions has been partially neutralized, which implies that the mass of the conductor has been reduced accordingly. I think Graneau et al. have found this to be the case with rail gun experiments. This allows, through specific flywheel implementations, a reactionless thruster. Larson's theory, being completely general, addresses everything from sub-atomic to galactic. Faster than light movement is common in the universe, and cosmic rays and gamma ray bursts are manifestations of such superluminal particles making an entrance into our sector. There was no big-bang. That's a nonsense concept. There's a constant 15 femto-g repulsive acceleration (the expansion of the universe) ever present opposing gravity. That explains why globular clusters are stable, why stars never get closer than about 4 light-years (they repel each other, unless they're orbiting), etc. (Amazing, after many years, conventional physicists finally are having to address that, although, they will surely take the credit for the idea). The sun is not powered by fusion, but by the thermal conversion of the heavy elements (logical, isn't it? the heavy elements migrate to the center). (See "Glimpses into the structure of the Sun" by KVK Nehru). There are no "black holes", another nonsense concept base on twelve or more assumptions with no evidence for most. The universe is steady state. Expansion is just an inherent property of it. When particles or stars reach beyond c, they lose their "position" in space" and reappear at random places (cosmic rays). Electrons are uncharged particles, that can acquire a charge. Uncharged, they are almost unobservable neutrino like particles. There is a clear distinction between charge and electric current, which is generally the movement of uncharged electrons through matter. This concept helps straighten out many experimental anomalies.

If only we knew how to efficiently convert plasma energy directly to electrical, hot fusion would get easier, too. Synchrotron radiation can be converted to DC in principle, by antenna-diode "rectennas", but no efficient and power-capable rectenna devices exist for the appropriate frequencies. Rectennas, at least, convert incoherent radiation. An inverse gyrotron would need a coherent, single-mode EM wave. Plasmas usually do not generate single mode waves, not even when in a resonant cavity. George Holz correctly identified a couple of the reasons why. ===== Michael J.

Park Friday, 21 Apr 00 Washington, DC 1. FLASH!! RUSSIA APPROVES THE COMPREHENSIVE TEST BAN TREATY. Last week it was Start II (WN 14 Apr 00). Today, in another impressive arms control victory for President Vladimir Putin, the Duma ratified the CTBT 298-74, with only feeble opposition from the Communists. The action appears to give Russia the initiative in nuclear arms talks, and strengthens Putin's hand in resisting any change in the 1972 ABM treaty. The United States and China are the only genuine nuclear powers still holding out on CTBT, although nuclear wannabes North Korea, Pakistan, India and Egypt must also ratify the treaty before it can go into effect. 2. SPY HYSTERIA: DOWNLOADED INFORMATION WAS RECLASSIFIED. The Albuquerque Journal broke the story last week. It turns out that the "crown jewels" of the US nuclear weapons program, the loss of which could, in the government's words, "change the strategic global balance," held a much lower classification when they were downloaded by Wen Ho Lee. At that time they were designated as PARD, for "protect as restricted data," a category reserved for information in which any secrets are thinly scattered in a huge volume of unclassified material. Rules for protecting PARD are much less stringent than for information classified "secret." Only after charges were filed against Lee did officials assign higher levels of classification to the downloaded material. The new information serves to underscore the contrast between the treatment of John Deutch, whose security clearance was revoked, and Lee, who is incarcerated in solitary confinement and shackled hand and foot during the brief visits of his family. 3. GLOBAL WARMING? AS EARTH WARMS, THE RHETORIC MAY BE COOLING. Five years ago the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), an international group of climate experts sponsored by the United Nations, issued a report suggesting that warming of the climate by a degree or so since 1860 is the result of human activity. Conservative organizations promptly opened fire on the integrity of the IPCC (WN 21 Jun 96). The preliminary draft of a new IPCC assessment, now circulating among its several hundred members for comment, reaches about the same conclusion, but with much less uncertainty, yet complaints are likely to be muted. Science is doing its thing: moving toward consensus between groups with very different initial expectations. As long as both sides stick to the scientific process, the intensity of the debate serves as a powerful motivation for better climate research. The debate seems to be shifting from whether global warming is taking place to whether warming is such a bad thing. 4. AREA 51: IS THAT A TENNIS COURT? Commenting on the first commercial satellite images of the super secret site, a Pentagon spokesman didn't do much to squelch UFO rumors: "we have had more than 40 years to learn how to deal with overhead surveillance."

If he would build and DEMONSTRATE any of the gadgets he claims he can make, the scientific and business world would be at his feet. A few dozen crude prototypes that work intermittently would do the job. He would have Nobel prizes in physics and chemistry, and he would drowning in venture capital. As long as he keeps the prototypes locked up, he will never convince anyone. I have spoken with him and his colleagues and I do not think they *want* to convince people. They want to be taken seriously, but their desire for secrecy, control and "future market share" is stronger. They might succeed in gathering enough money & talent now, and building the products without convincing the world first. They might launch products with minimal outside help. At that moment they will convince everyone. The strategy might work, but it is highly risky. It can easily lead to failure, if they make one small wrong turn, and it will surely take years longer than it should. The profit they might have earned in those lost years can never be recovered. The competitive advantage they gain by keeping the technology secret now will be fleeting. It may only last a few months, certainly not longer than a year or two, because the early implementations of a radical new technology become obsolete overnight. Look at how quickly transistors changed in the early 1950s, and how soon the original AT&T designs were obsolete. A dozen different designs and manufacturing methods came and went in a few years. The only reasonable business strategy was to patent the transistor and license it as quickly as possible, which is what AT&T did. I have said all of this before, as I am sure people here recognize. (As their eyes glaze over.) Recently someone accused me of peddling radical new business theories that fly in the face of standard corporate practices. They even said I want to "give away the store" and I am some kind of idealist. CETI once accused me of that. I'd like to say that I despise idealists and I distrust new ideas. I am a conservative. I am unoriginal. The business strategy I outlined here comes out of business management textbooks published by staid places like the Wall Street Journal and Harvard Business School. Naturally, the authors of these tomes do not all agree. You can find an equal and opposite business school professor who will endorse Mills' strategy. It is not an exact science: you have to read the textbooks and case studies and use your own best judgement. I favor the AT&T model, but others may point to successful examples at places like IBM where secrecy was maintained, products developed, and good profits were made. As Mike Carrell pointed out, AT&T chose this strategy partly in response to political pressure from Washington and the military. It was not only a business decision, but it worked out well in business terms. - Jed From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Fri Apr 21 19:58:18 2000 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id TAA25696; Fri, 21 Apr 2000 19:57:07 -0700 Resent-Date: Fri, 21 Apr 2000 19:57:07 -0700 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" X-Sender: mjones pop.jump.net Message-Id: Date: Fri, 21 Apr 2000 21:56:02 -0500 To: vortex-l eskimo.com From: Mitchell Jones Subject: Is the moon hollow?

It is bizarre but interesting. Caveat emptor! --Mitchell Jones}*** ************************************* Moon, Where Are You From? By Yingzhong Lu, selected from The Crown, 499, September 1995 When did the moon first accompany our earth? Perhaps it has been looking at the earth long before human beings appeared on earth. People say that there is a Freezing-Cold Palace on the moon where an ancient beauty named Chang-E lives, along with a white rabbit and a man called Wu Gang, astronauts from the Apollo 11 mission to the moon on July 19, 1969 did not see the Freezing-Cold Palace, nor Lady Chang-E and her rabbit, nor Wu Gang and his cassia trees. Many of us charmed by the legend were somewhat disappointed by the scientific findings. Twenty-six years have passed since the first moon landing, yet human beings are no wiser than before about the moon. On the contrary, scientists are now perplexed by the data gathered by the instruments left on the moon. When we look at the moon at night, we a have familiar yet strange feeling. We can't help but ask, "Dear moon, could you tell us about your true self?" At present, there are three theories to explain how the moon originated. The first one is that the dust and gaseous clouds from the universe formed the moon, just like our earth, 4.6 billion years ago. The second theory is that the moon was thrown off from the earth and the Pacific Ocean is the place from which it came. The third theory believes that the moon was an independent planet that was captured by the earth's gravitational force when passing by, and it has been revolving around the earth ever since. Most scientists initially believed in the first theory, although some favoured the second one. Yet, analysis of the moon soil samples brought back by astronauts indicates that the composition of the moon is different from that of the earth. The earth has more iron and less silicon deposited in it, while the moon is just the opposite. In addition, the earth has very few titanium ores, whereas the moon has many. These findings show that the moon was not separated from the earth. By the same token, the first hypothesis is also shaky. If the moon and earth were formed through the same process, at around the same time, then why are they so different in their composition? Scientists have abandoned the first theory, which leaves only the last theory. If the moon entered the solar system from outer space, it should have flown towards the Sun instead of being held by the earth, because of the sun's much stronger gravitational pull. None of the three hypotheses proposed by orthodox scientists answers all of the questions or holds up to scrutiny. The origin of the moon still remains a mystery. There is plenty of room for people to propose new theories on the origin of the moon. No matter how ridiculous the theories may seem, they should not be lightly labeled nonscientific. The Peculiar Phenomena Between the Sun, Earth, and Moon Let's take a look at and think about some of the unbelievably peculiar astronomical phenomena that occur between the sun, earth and moon. The average distance between the earth and the moon is 380,000 km, and between the sun and the earth is about 150,000,000 km. The latter is about 395 times further than the former. The diameter of the sun is about 1,380,000 km, while that of the moon is 3,400 km; the ratio of the two is again 395 times greater. Both ratios are 395. Could it be a coincidence? What does it mean? Please think about it. The sun is 395 times larger than the moon, yet it is 395 times farther away from the earth than the moon. The two appear the same size when seen from earth because of the distance differences. Is this a natural or artificial phenomenon? Where in the universe can one find three celestial bodies with this kind of coincidence? The two planets shine on the earth in turns, one during the day and the other at night. There is not another example of such phenomena in our solar system. The prestigious scientist, Isaac Asimov, once said that, according to all the data available, the moon in principle should not exist in that position. He also said, "The moon is big enough to result in a solar eclipse, yet small enough to generate corona. Our astronomy just can't explain the coincidence among the coincidences." Is it really a coincidence? Not really, according to some scientists. William R. Sheldon, a scientist, said, "In order to orbit around the earth, a spaceship has to maintain a velocity of 10,800 miles per hour at a height of 100 miles. Similarly, in order for the moon to keep itself in its orbit to balance the earth's gravitational force, it also needs accurate velocity, self-weight, and altitude." The question is: if the current set of conditions is impossible to achieve by nature, why are they this way? It's Too Big to be a Satellite There are several planets in the solar system that have naturally occurring satellites. However, the moon is unnaturally large for a satellite. It is too large in comparison to its parent planet. Let us take a look at the following data. The earth's diameter is 12,756 km; the moon's is 3,467 km, which is about 27% that of the earth's. Mars' diameter is 6,787 km. Mars has two satellites. The larger one has a diameter of 23 km, about 0.34% that of Mars. Jupiter's diameter is 142,800 km. It has 13 satellites. The largest one has a diameter of 5,000 km, which is 3.5% of Jupiter's. Saturn's diameter is 120,000 km. It has 23 satellites. The largest one has a diameter of 4,500 km, which is about 3.75% of Saturn's diameter. None of the satellites has a diameter exceeding 5% of the parent planet's diameter, but the moon's is 27% of the earth's diameter. Isn't the moon unnaturally large by comparison? The data indeed indicates that the moon is extraordinary. The Meteorite Craters Are All Too Shallow Scientists tell us that the craters on the surface of the moon were caused by the impact of meteors or comets. There are also meteorite craters on earth. According to scientific calculations, if a meteorite of several miles in diameter hits the earth or the moon at a speed of 30,000 miles per second, which is equivalent to one million tons of dynamite, the depth of the crater it creates should be four to five times that of its diameter. The meteorite craters on earth prove this to be correct. Yet the craters on the moon are strangely shallow. For example, Gagrin Crater, the deepest one, is only four miles deep, although its diameter is 186 miles. With a diameter of 186 miles, the depth of the crater should be at least 700 miles, instead of 4 miles, which is just 12% of the diameter. This is another scientific impossibility. Why is it so? Astronomers are unable to come up with a perfect explanation and they don't seem to want to either. They know that a perfect explanation would overturn established theories. The only explanation is that the moon's crust is composed of a very hard substance four miles beneath the surface. The meteorites have failed to penetrate this hard layer. Then, what is the very hard substance? Metals Whose Existence is Impossible It is not strange that the moon craters have a great deal of lava. What is strange is that the lava contains rich metal elements such as titanium, chromium, yttrium, etc., which are rarely found on earth. Those metals are all very hard and resistant to both high temperatures and corrosion. Scientists estimate that it requires 2000-3000( C to melt these metals. But the moon has been a dead and cold planet without volcanic activity for three billion years. How did the moon generate so many kinds of metals that require such high temperatures to melt? Moreover, analysis of the 380 kg of moon soil samples brought back by astronauts shows that there is pure iron and pure titanium. Such pure metal deposits just aren't found under natural conditions. What do the unexplainable facts tell us? They have undoubtedly demonstrated that these metal elements were not formed under natural conditions, but were extracted. Then the questions is by whom and when? The Side that Can't Be Seen from the Earth It is always the same side of the moon that faces the earth. Man did not see the opposite side until the spaceship landed there and photographed it. Astronomers had always thought that the backside should be similar to the front with many meteorite craters and lava seas. But the photographs showed a much different scene. The backside of the moon is very bumpy. Most are small craters and mountain ranges with very few lava seas. Scientists are unable to explain the differences. In theory, the probability of being hit by meteorites should be the same for both sides of the moon if it was a naturally formed planet. Why is there a difference? Why is it always the same side of the moon that faces the earth? The explanation from the scientists is that the moon rotates around its own axis with a velocity of 16.56 km per hour, and it also revolves around the earth at exactly the same speed. Thus the same side always faces the earth. This phenomenon does not exist for any other planet and its satellites in our solar system-only for our earth and moon. Is it another coincidence along with the other coincidences? Is there an explanation other than coincidence? Strange Phenomena in the Past Hundreds of Years For the last 300 hundred years, astronomers have observed many unexplainable phenomena about the moon. Casini discovered a cluster of clouds over the moon in 1671. In April 1786, William Herser, the father of modern astronomy, observed the signs of volcanic eruptions on the moon, although scientists believe that there has not been any volcanic activity on the moon for 3 billion years. Then, what was observed that looked like volcanic eruptions? In 1843, German astronomer John Schicoto, who made hundreds of maps of the moon, found that the Leany Crater, with an original diameter of several kilometers, was becoming smaller. Today, the Leany Crater is only a tiny spot with white sediment surrounding it. Scientists do not know why. On April 24, 1882, scientists discovered that there were unidentified objects moving on the surface in the Aristocrat's Zone. On October 19, 1945, the Darwin Wall on the surface of the moon was observed to have three shiny points on it. On the evening of July 6, 1954, the head of the Minnesota Observatory and his assistants saw a dark line inside the Picallomy Crater, which shortly disappeared. On September 8, 1955, lightning appeared twice along the edge of the Ross Crater. Again on February 9, 1956, Dr. Toyota, Meiji University, Japan, saw several dark objects that seemed to have formed the shape of letters DYAX and JWA. On February 4, 1966, a Russian unmanned space-vehicle, Moon Goddess 9, landed on the Rain Sea and photographed two rows of pyramid-like structures that were equidistant from each other. Dr. Van Sunder stated, "They could strongly reflect the sunlight, pretty much like the marks on runways." Calculated from the length of the shadows, the structures are about as high as a fifteen-story building. Dr. Van Sunder said, "There were no highlands nearby from which the rocks would have rolled over to the current positions to form the geometrical shapes." Additionally, Moon Goddess 9 also photographed a mysterious cave on the edge of the Stormy Sea. Moon research expert Dr. Wilkins believes that these circular caves go directly to the center of the moon. Wilkins himself once discovered a gigantic cave at Casiny Crater A. On November 20, 1966, American Orbit 2 Exploration Spaceship photographed several pyramid-like structures from 46 km above the Tranquility Sea. Scientists estimated that the pyramids are 15 to 25 metres high and that they are also geometrically positioned. The structures are lighter in colour than the rocks and soil around them and they are obviously not natural objects. On September 11, 1967, the Montelow Team of astronomers discovered a "black cloud with purple borders" over the Tranquility Sea. The strange phenomena were not observed by laypeople, but by astronomers and spaceship probes. This means that the moon does have many mysteries unknown to human beings. UFO over the Moon On November 24, 1968, Apollo 8, while investigating future landing spots, encountered a colossal floating object that occupied several square miles. When Apollo 8 came back to the same spot from its orbital lap around the moon, the object was no longer there. What was it? No one knows. Apollo 10, while at 50,000 feet above the moon, was approached by an unidentified flying object. This encounter was documented on film. On July 19, 1969, Apollo 11 carried three astronauts to the moon who later became the first men on the moon. En route to the moon, the astronauts saw an unusual object in front of them. Viewing at a distance of about 6,000 miles, they initially thought that it must be the rocket propeller from the Apollo 4. Looking through binoculars, they found that the object was L-shaped. "It looked like an opened briefcase," said Armstrong. Looking further through a sextant, they found the object looked like a cylinder. Another astronaut, Aldrin, said, "We also saw several smaller objects passing by, causing turbulence to our ship, then we saw this brighter object flying by." On July 21, when Aldrin entered the Landing Capsule for final check-up, he suddenly saw two floating objects. One of them was bigger and brighter, flying at high speed in parallel to the spaceship's front, which shortly disappeared. It reemerged a few seconds later. At that moment the two objects shot out two light beams that joined together. Then they suddenly separated from each other, ascended rapidly and disappeared. When the astronauts were about to land on the moon, they heard the voice from Control Center, "Control Center calling Apollo 11, what are they out there?" Apollo 11 answered, "These babes are humongous, Sir . . . a lot of them . . .Oh, my God, you won't believe it. Let me tell you there are other spaceships there . . . by the edge of the circular craters, and they are well positioned . . . and they are watching us from the moon . . .." Russian scientist Dr. Arched said, "According to our intercepted signals, the encounter with floating objects as the Apollo 11 landed was immediately reported." On November 20, 1969, astronauts Conrad and Brian of Apollo 12 observed floating objects when they landed on the moon. Astronauts landing on the moon from Apollo 15 in August 1971, Apollo 16 in April 1972, and Apollo 17 in December 1972 also encountered the floating objects. Gary, a scientist, once said, "Almost all the astronauts have seen some unidentified flying objects." Edwards, the sixth astronaut to land on the moon, said, "The only question is where they came from." John Younger, the ninth astronaut on the moon, said, "If you don't believe it, it is like you don't believe in a sure thing." In 1979, former NASA Director of Communication Molly Chertlin stated that "encountering the floating objects" is very common. She went on, "All the spaceships have been followed by some floating objects either at a distance or very closely. Whenever it happens, the astronauts would contact our mission center." Years later, Armstrong revealed, "It is incredible . . . We were all warned that there are for sure cities or spaceships on the moon . . . I can only say that their spaceships are much superior and they are huge . . .." Thousands of the lunar mystical phenomena, such as the mysterious lightning, white and black clouds, structures, floating objects and so on, are all facts observed by astronomers and scientists. They are yet to be explained as to what they are. The Moon is a Hollow Spaceship In 1970, Russian scientists Alexander Scherbakov and Mihkai Vasin proposed a shocking Spaceship Moon hypothesis to explain the origin of the moon. They believe that the moon is in fact not a natural satellite of the earth, but a spaceship created by intelligent beings that modified and reshaped a planet. There are a lot documents regarding their civilization stored inside the moon, which was intentionally placed above the earth. All of the discoveries of the moon are in fact the outstanding work of the intelligent beings that live inside of it. Of course, the scientific community is scornful of the theory, because they have not captured any ET yet. Nonetheless, it is undeniable that the moon has been shown to be hollow by data gathered so far. What perplexes scientists the most is the data gathered from the instruments left on the moon which measure the quake activities of the moon's crust. The data indicates that the quake waves spread from the epicenter along the surface of the moon only, but not into the center of the moon. This shows that the moon is hollow and it is nothing but a crust. If it was a solid planet, the quake waves should also propagate toward the center. How could they only go along the surface? Reconstruct New Theories About the Moon Let's construct a new theory about the moon. It is hollow and has two layers of crust. The outer crust consists of rocks and mineral ores. Meteorites can only hit through this crust. The known craters are no deeper than four miles. Thus, this outer crust is at most five miles thick. The inner crust is a hard, artificial alloy shell of unknown thickness-probably several miles. Its metal elements include iron, titanium, chromium, and others that resist high temperatures, high pressure and corrosion. It is an alloy unknown on earth. The moonquake data indicates that moonquake waves propagate along the moon's surface but not towards its center. This means that the moon only has two layers of crust. Thus the moon must be artificial, rather than naturally formed. Intelligent beings must have conducted accurate calculations to transport the moon from their star system to the solar system and to position it where it is in order to provide light to the earth at night. In conclusion, none of the three traditional theories of the origin of the moon is correct. The beings that constructed the moon allow only one side of the moon to face the earth because there are many observation devices on the earth. They themselves live inside the moon closer to the back. Because the surface temperature of the moon varies from 127( C at noon to -183( C at night, the inhabitants live inside the moon. The moon-making beings have invented flying saucers and they often fly out to do research, maintain their surface devices, or to watch the earthlings' activities. They are thus sometimes seen by astronauts from earth or observed by telescopes on earth. We don't yet know what kind of aliens they are or how long they have been there. Perhaps before long, earthlings will find out the truth about the moon. We have constructed this theory to explain the origin and structure of the moon by using the lunar phenomena that cannot be explained by traditional science. This theory perfectly solves each and every mystery surrounding the moon. Who would argue that our approach is non-scientific?

The Interval Research laboratory, which at one point had swelled to employ as many as 150, was formed with the intent to spin off business enterprises. To date, the spin-off model has largely failed, with no dramatic successes having come from the years of research. . . . Interval Research was known in Silicon Valley for its obsession with secrecy, and analysts said that also worked against the research group.

A collection of caverns and tunnels sufficient to house many thousands of beings would certainly not be noticed in the calculated density of the Moon. In fact, if I had the technology to make such a structure, I would use a small moon as the starting point, apply a strong metal shell to protect the inside from meteors, and coat the outside with rock rubble to absorb the energy. The inhabited part would only occupy a small fraction of the rock interior. Presumably, moving this structure to the earth would be easy for a technology that could make the structure in the first place. Of course, one might ask why a society would go to such trouble when the earth is so handy.

According to the books-- and I have not calculated this myself, so I can't personally validate it-- the density of the Moon as calculated from mass and volume is very low, about half that of the earth's. According to one source, the moon would float in the ocean. Also, the upper crust of the moon does appear to be made of very dense materials, glasses containing high amounts of titanium and other refractory materials in the 'seas', for instance. If the density of the surface layers was extended through the whole moon, it would be much more massive than it is. Thus the inner moon must be lighter than the outer--which is in itself anomalous. The article you quoted only scratches the surface of lunar anomalies. Taken individually, they can be explained (rationalized) through various different mechanisms, but taken together they point in only one direction, however off-the-wall that might be considered.

Right now I'm reading "Return of the Phoenix" by Mandeville and trying to decide whether this is SF or reality. He certainly makes a good case for a very unpleasant event about to happen to us all. As is the case with much of what is discussed on Vortex, the problem is to separate faction from fiction, imagination from reality. At least reading SF has the advantage of providing entertainment without the responsibility of such important judgments. > > >Presumably, moving this structure to the earth would be easy for a technology > >that could make the structure in the first place.

I share the opinion of Darwin that these pests prune out the weak and make later generations stronger. If one believes in reincarnation, this is good because each succeeding body would be potentially stronger than the last. Of course, with the temperament of our fellow creatures, microbes would seem to be the least of our worries.

(Will drooling idiots be those who end up with a natural immunity to AIDS?) It's not to the advantage of microbes to destroy their hosts; but how smart are the microbes? One explanation for the disappearance of the dinosaurs is that the coming together of all the continents into Pangea caused terminal epidemics, and that the proposed asteroid 65 million years ago just helped bury the corpses. Although the Indian women looked good to Columbus' sailors, some of the adventurers had to be carried off the ships on return to Barcelona. Within 6 months the "Spanish pox" had reached Marsailles; and within a year the "French pox" had crossed the Channel. An Italian poet speculating on the origin of the disease named it by describing the sexual adventures of the shepherd Syphillis. (The Europeans returned the favor with smallpox.) At first the loathesome sores, hair loss, and fatigue made the disease obvious (hence high collars, long sleeves, wigs, and heavy face makeup); but as time went on, (with trillions of spirochetes in any one individual dividing every every 30 seconds) natural selection made host life more bearable -- women could still be attractive and carry the disease. Fashions lightened up. The ease of modern transportation has made our divided continents into another Pangea. Can the microbes adapt fast enough to still enjoy a good meal and yet keep us alive? I personally know people who are positive with an experimental, direct test for the Lyme spirochete, but who have no symptoms. Since the test is not accepted by the medical community, should they still give blood? What about those who have no clue that they may have the disease? >From the SF view, wouldn't it be to the advantage of the microbes to give their hosts an edge, perhaps by improving host intelligence? -- nothing like a well-fed host. Look at Beethoven, born with congenital syphillis. (Comparing syphillis and smallpox, it seems that spirochetes are more concerned about their hosts than viruses. In fact, AIDS seems to more virulent than ever.) Ed Storms wrote: ... Of course, with the temperament of our fellow creatures, microbes would seem to be the least of our worries. Hi Ed and Mitchell, Given "the temperament of our fellow creatures," I think that we should be MOST concerned about microbes.

Within such a framework, there is obviously an interval of time between conception and the attainment of personhood. During that interval, the embryo, fetus, or whatever, is the property of its mother, or, if she has made a contractual arrangement to that effect, the father has joint ownership. During that stage, the mother or the parents have the right to terminate development, if they so choose. As a consequence, in a free society there will be a demand for services that enable parents to decide whether the developmental process should or should not be permitted to continue until the stage of personhood is reached. Here, science enters the picture, in the form of various laboratory procedures, including genetic testing, which would permit the prospective parents to identify defects and make a reasoned decision about whether they want raise a child with those characteristics. If they decide in the negative, the developmental process will be terminated. Within the context of a free society, science would progress very rapidly, and tests would be developed that permitted the detection of, for example, a deficient immune system, long before personhood was attained. There would be no need to actually produce a person with those characteristics in order to determine whether he would live a short and miserable life due to the assaults of invading microbes. Instead, if tests suggested that would be the outcome, the parents would simply interupt that developmental process and try again, until they succeeded in producing a sound and healthy child. In such a society, the kinds of horror stories that surround us today would not exist: we would not routinely see families, their finances continually drained by medical procedures needed to prolong the misery of defective children--families which, due to those expenses, are prevented from having healthy children. And, to return to your point, we would have no need for the armies of hostile microbes in which we are immersed, because science would be permitted to achieve the culling effect of those microbes, without the human suffering which they cause. In other words, Darwinian survival of the fittest is a fact, and it has the effect that you mentioned. However, an advanced species that values human freedom can, through science, achieve the beneficial effects of natural selection while avoiding the shortcomings. If such a society existed in space, under far less septic conditions than exist on the pesthole which we call Earth, I would expect a vast increase in the average lifespan, due to nothing more than the absence of the damage that the microbes would otherwise inflict, while the body struggled to fend them off. In the disgusting fascist societies in which we are all trapped, of course, property rights are *not* respected, and in the present context there are two consequences worth noting: (1) Scientific progress is much slower than it would be under freedom, and, because of that, we remain trapped on pesthole Earth, where our lifespans are greatly shortened by our ongoing war with invading microbes. 2) Parents must obtain the permission of the state before they can terminate developmental processes prior to personhood. In such intrusive and authoritarian societies, a simple and private decision about whether to produce a child becomes akin to Russian roulette: would-be parents are forced to roll the genetic dice, and if they come up the wrong way, their lives are wrecked. --Mitchell Jones}*** >If one believes in reincarnation, this is good because each succeeding >body would >be potentially stronger than the last. ***{Reincarnation arises as a logical possibility because each human being knows for a fact that, at some time in the past, his memories began. Hence it appears that there was a time when he did not exist, and then, because some particular physical situation arose, his came into existence. The implication: those conditions may have been satisfied in the distant past, prior to his birth, which means he may have lived prior lives; and if, after the end of this life, those conditions are satisfied again, he will exist again. Whether such a speculation is valid, of course, depends on the specific nature of the conditions in question, and whether, even in principle, they could ever arise more than once. If we consider, for example, that the individual is defined by the specific DNA in his genome, it is clear that a person could arise more than once. Unfortunately, if it were that simple, then twins would be the same person. Since we know they are not, we can conclude that the conditions which had to be satisfied to bring a specific individual--a specific stream of consciousness--into existence, involve more than DNA. In addition, there is the question of whether we remain, at the end of life, the same person we were at the beginning of life. If we do, then even if we come into existence over and over again, we will always be, at the beginning of life, the same ignorant creature we were at the beginning of all of our other lives. In that case, the whole enterprise seems quite pointless: whatever we learned in our prior lives would, in no sense, be available to us in the next one. Here is a possibility I have considered, which seems to get around both difficulties: what if the subconscious mind contains, at birth, the intuitive understandings that one acquired, by experience and thought, in one's prior life? In other words, what if personhood begins when the subconscious has been loaded with information that matches the data that were present in one's subconscious at the end of one's previous life? Let me elaborate a bit. Most educated people have noticed that, after immersing oneself deeply in a subject, one subsequently, with the passage of years, loses direct conscious access to the material. If, for example, you spend days struggling with a difficult calculus problem and come up with an elegant solution, you will at that moment hold in your conscious mind a vast array of relationships, and will be able to discuss all the intricate details that define the problem and support the validity of your solution. But if you stop thinking about that problem and spend, say, ten years thinking about other things, you will lose conscious access to that array of relationships, and you will no longer be able to deliver an impromptu lecture on that topic off the top of your head. In spite of that, however, something remains, because you will feel comfortable tackling problems of that type in the future, and you will have an intuitive feel for how to approach them. Because of your subconsciously held understanding, you will be able to solve new problems of that type much more quickly than was the case before you acquired that understanding. If the subconscious mind is not tabula rasa (a "blank slate") when personhood begins, but instead is filled with potentially useful material of the sort that we acquire from experience and problem solving, then the potential arises that continuity of consciousness might be established with a person who lived and died in the past, when the subconscious content of a developing child's brain comes to match the subconscious content that some person's brain possessed at death at some point in the past. In this case, the link would be to what one was at the end of one's life, rather than to what one was at the beginning, and thus the important part of one's acquired knowledge would be retained. At birth, one would have no conscious memories, but one would have subconscious material that connected back to a another person in a previous life. All the above, of course, is merely speculation.

Great! Why didn't he do something like that years ago? If NIST wouldn't look at it, other major organizations would. Why not have 10, or 20, or 2,000 major institutes look at it? Now that he has a patent pending, he has nothing to lose. Mills has his own battles to wage. "We intend to fight this all the way to the Supreme Court," he says, "and enlist whatever resources it takes in Congress and industry to rightfully win this." It wouldn't take any resources, and he could win the whole battle in a month or two, if he would only open and demonstrate like any businessman would do. Comments like this drive me crazy. Mills is standing there with a giant "KICK ME" sign on his butt. When Park and Zimmerman clobber him, instead of responding effectively, he complains! What does he expect they will do? What have they done for nine years? It will keep happening until he takes effective steps to stop it once and for all. - Jed From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Tue Apr 25 16:36:02 2000 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id QAA11042; Tue, 25 Apr 2000 16:32:55 -0700 Resent-Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2000 16:32:55 -0700 Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2000 19:38:06 -0400 (EDT) From: John Schnurer To: VORTEX Subject: Zimmerman Re: Village Voice -- latest on USPTO-Park-Zimmerman scandal In-Reply-To: <200004251957.PAA21712 mercury.mv.net> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Resent-Message-ID: <"4hnAw2.0.Ni2.ciY1v" mx1> Resent-From: vortex-l eskimo.com Reply-To: vortex-l eskimo.com X-Mailing-List: archive/latest/35074 X-Loop: vortex-l eskimo.com Precedence: list Resent-Sender: vortex-l-request eskimo.com Status: RO X-Status: Dear EM., Is the Zimmerman cited the same Zimmerman who did work about 12 or so years ago on using magnetostriction of Nickle plated Optical Fiber to det Micro Pulsations of the Earth's Magnetic Field pub Int'l Confr.

Mills is right on target of course, about the established physics community being business competitors with an enormous amount to lose, but is he right about the science? I wouldn't care too much if even the science itself were erroneously based if an actual heater, superbattery or electrical generator was produced that left no doubt in anyone's mind that there was an excess amount of energy being released, but Mills has yet to design any real-life product that can be be bought and used. Cells, compounds, reports and theories are nice, but if he focused on delivering the heater hardware, or the superbattery, or the electrical generator there wouldn't be much that his critics/competitors could do... except, maybe look for new jobs. What bothers me is that he just hasn't done this, and he has had the money, time, and engineering expertise available to him do it. If he is worried about protecting his intellectual property, then he should just forget about it. He can't. If he wants to help mankind, then he should just be applying himself to making real hardware available for sale. If the stuff works, then people will line up to buy it. His educational, promotional, legal, and business efforts aren't worth a dime without a real product. He can explain the whole universe with coloring books, cartoons and big, fuzzy puppets for all that it is worth, but if the hardware doesn't work, and there is no product, then the whole thing is just a waste of time.

And the information has been freely given to all in public domain for over three years now. How long will it be ignored? Everyone else is trying to get their greedy little hands around the energy revolution and own it. Ain't gonna happen. We are just about there. Callum Coats and Martin Selecki have announced, now, for the record, for the first time in public domain, Whirlpower is under construction in Australia, and is being filmed for a new documentary comparing tornado type vortex science going back to Schauberger and my new Whirlpower hurricane type vortex concept. And we now have data that takes the tornado type vortex all the way back to Egypt and the pyramids. They failed too. And that narcissistic, pompous, man is God type attitude, left their civilization in ruins, as it will ours, if we do not turn our hearts back to the One True God. Whirlpower is unique. Whirlpower is "The Holy Grail". Whirlpower is a hurricane type vortex, a compound vortex, never before made by man and tested in a scientific manner in all recorded histroy. The Whirlpower Team has built the first natural whirlpools ever in recorded history and has been announcing this achievement now for a very long time on many lists. Many just go into cat calls, curses, and hissy fits and throw me off. Any can see the first known photo a whirlpool on my new splash page. Note the dual radial arm pattern, just like a hurricane, just like a spiral galaxy.

In his Ontario ACS presentation, Mills laid more stress on the importance of developing Hydrino hydride chemical compounds. He placed his undeniably found Hydrino excess energy, as second in developmental importance although it was to be developed in parallel. The excess energy, though quite a bit, was at a level not yet enough to compete with established power generation systems. Now whether Mills' sense of priorities serves the best interests of cf, it's his judgment call. Meanwhile, other cf related experiments by others continue. This coming Sunday, Zimmerman will be speaking on his 'pseudoscience' theme at the Long Beach APS meeting. We'll see what he will be saying. As for Park, I have backtracked all his 'What new' articles related to cf since '89. He is inflexible in his judgment of cf since the beginning. But what I found is that his caustic critical writing style is not reserved just for cf but is for everything. I take his articles as part humor but it certainly is not constructive when his opinions are given weight, appearing as the voice of APS, although with disclaimers. Too bad, too sad. -ak- From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Wed Apr 26 05:59:03 2000 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id FAA07791; Wed, 26 Apr 2000 05:57:27 -0700 Resent-Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2000 05:57:27 -0700 Message-ID: <003501bfaf7e$9ab8b6c0$60637dc7 computer> From: "Ed Wall" To: References: Subject: Re: Zimmerman Re: Village Voice -- latest on USPTO-Park-Zimmerman scandal Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2000 08:54:47 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2314.1300 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2314.1300 Resent-Message-ID: <"1Z4yk2.0.bv1.sUk1v" mx1> Resent-From: vortex-l eskimo.com Reply-To: vortex-l eskimo.com X-Mailing-List: archive/latest/35078 X-Loop: vortex-l eskimo.com Precedence: list Resent-Sender: vortex-l-request eskimo.com Status: O X-Status: John, Gene does not read Vortex much and I have no idea.

Schewe and Ben Stein EXPLOITING QUANTUM "SPOOKINESS" TO CREATE SECRET CODES has been demonstrated for the first time by three independent research groups, advancing hopes for eventually protecting sensitive data from any kind of computer attack. In the latest--and most foolproof--variation yet of the data-encryption scheme known as quantum cryptography, researchers employ pairs of "entangled" photons, particles that can be so intimately interlinked even when far apart that a perplexed Einstein once derided their behavior as "spooky action at a distance." Entanglement-based quantum cryptography has unique features for sending coded data at practical transmission rates and detecting eavesdroppers. In short, the entanglement process can generate a completely random sequence of 0s and 1s distributed exclusively to two users at remote locations. Any eavesdropper's attempt to intercept this sequence will alter the message in a detectable way, enabling the users to discard the appropriate parts of the data. This random sequence of digits, or "key," can then be plugged into a code scheme known as a "one-time pad cipher,"which converts the message into a completely random sequence of letters. This code scheme--mathematically proven to be unbreakable without knowledge of the key--actually dates back to World War I, but its main flaw had been that the key could be intercepted by an intermediary. In the 1990s, Oxford's Artur Ekert (artur.ekert qubit.org) proposed an entanglement-based version of this scheme, not realized until now. In the most basic version, a specially prepared crystal splits a single photon into a pair of entangled photons. Both the message sender (traditionally called Alice) and the receiver (called Bob) get one of the photons. Alice and Bob each have a detector for measuring their photon's polarization, the direction in which its electric field vibrates. Different polarizations could represent different digits, such as the 0 and 1 of binary code. But according to quantum mechanics, each photon can be in a combination (or superposition) of polarization states, and essentially be a 0 and 1 at the same time. Only when one of them is measured or otherwise disturbed does it "collapse" to a definite value of 0 and 1, in a random way. But once one particle collapses, its entangled partner is also forced to collapse into a specific digit correlated with the first digit. With the right combination of detector settings on each end, Alice and Bob will get the exact same digit. After receiving a string of entangled photons, Alice and Bob discuss which detector settings they used, rather than the actual readings they obtained, and they discard readings made with the incorrect settings. At that point, Alice and Bob have a random string of digits that can serve as a completely secure key for the mathematically unbreakable one-time pad cipher. In their demonstration, Los Alamos researchers (Paul Kwiat, 505-667-6173, kwiat lanl.gov) simulated an eavesdropper (by passing the photons through a filter on their way to Alice and Bob) and readily detected disturbances in their transmissions (by employing what may be the first practical application of the quantum-mechanical test known as Bell's theorem), enabling them to discard the purloined information. In a separate demonstration of entangled cryptography for completely isolated Alice and Bob stations separated by 1 km of fiber optics, an Austrian research team (Thomas Jennewein, University of Vienna, 011-43-1-4277-51207, thomas.jennewein univie.ac.at) created a secret key and then securely transmitted an image of the "Venus" von Willendorf, one of the earliest known works of art. (See figures at www.quantum.at and www.aip.org/physnews/graphics.) Meanwhile, a University of Geneva group (Nicholas Gisin, Nicolas.Gisin physics.unige.ch, 011-41 22 702 65 97) demonstrates entangled cryptography over many kilometers of fiber using a photon frequency closest to what is used on real-life fiber optics lines. In these first experiments, the three groups demonstrated relatively slow data transmission rates. However, entanglement-based cryptography is potentially faster than non-entangled quantum cryptography, which requires single-photon sources (and therefore, faint light sources) to foil eavesdropping. Entangled cryptography also produces relatively small amounts of excess photons which an eavesdropper could conceivably skim for information.

The return on investment would be better because these countries waste so much energy. This would cut pollution and lower the price of energy for everyone. Here is a recent report from Russia describing tremendous waste. American observers in Russia saw this sort of thing during WWII and throughout the Communist era. Tons of coal used to spill out of holes in the coal train cars, scattered along thousands of miles of track in the uninhabited Siberian wilderness. In this article, ministry spokesman Petrov is "skeptical" and wants to know how "ideal" savings could be realized. He does not understand capitalism. They could be realized simply, at no cost to anyone, by hiring U.S. corporations specializing in pipeline refurbishing and oil well maintenance. Russia is broke and cannot pay in cash, but it can pay with a share of the oil and gas the companies conserve by repairing equipment. These companies would be well positioned to ship the oil to nearby European and Asian markets if they could not sell it in Russia at a profit. Everyone would come out ahead. This is not a free lunch; it is a lunch you are paid to eat. Perhaps Petrov should not be asking Greenpeace how to do this. It may not occur to them to solve the problem by conventional, capitalistic means. Where they see a problem calling for confrontation and a political solution, I often see a straightforward technical problem which is also an opportunity to make a profit at nobody's expense. The only problem with this might be that some pipelines are places where foreign experts are afraid to go because of political turmoil and the danger of war. I doubt this would be a problem though. Pipeline and oil well experts tend to be tough guys who are used to harsh and dangerous places. Anyway, there would be enough profit to pay for large groups of dependable armed guards. I gather you can hire a private army anywhere in Russia these days. They are probably listed in the Yellow Pages. - Jed - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - QUOTES: The oil and gas that Russia loses each year in leaks and spills could provide enough energy to allow the country to close its nuclear power plants, Greenpeace said yesterday. Between 70 million and 140 million barrels of oil are spilled annually in Russia, out of the approximately 2.1 billion barrels the nation produces, the group says. Greenpeace's announcement came on the eve of the 14th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. . . . Russian Nuclear Power Ministry spokesman Vladislav Petrov was skeptical about the Greenpeace proposal. "It's a bit like saying, 'Let's take the whole humankind and transport it to a new, wonderful planet,'" Petrov said by telephone.

With the old technique, the filters are shifted at random by a machine, and only one photon is transmitted per bit. The "entangled" method is itself naturally random, and the APS article Horace posted says it allows many photons per bit. I do not understand how that would work. I gather there are 4 entangled now. Are people hoping to glom together a whole slew of photons in one cloud (group, herd, posse, pride or school)? Quote from article: However, entanglement-based cryptography is potentially faster than non-entangled quantum cryptography [the older form], which requires single-photon sources (and therefore, faint light sources) to foil eavesdropping. With the older technique, they can detect a single photon in a 10 km long fiber optic cable. That's remarkable. Conventional liquid scintillator neutron detectors have difficulty detecting them 1 meter away. Mainly they have trouble with noise, or false positives, according to Akimoto. The world "entangled" should lend itself to puns about "One Entangled Morning," or whatever. - Jed From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Wed Apr 26 14:53:06 2000 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id OAA25940; Wed, 26 Apr 2000 14:51:14 -0700 Resent-Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2000 14:51:14 -0700 From: Tstolper aol.com Message-ID: <6d.31145dd.2638bea8 aol.com> Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2000 17:50:32 EDT Subject: Re: Village Voice -- latest on USPTO-Park-Zimmerman scandal To: vortex-l eskimo.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL for Macintosh sub 147 Resent-Message-ID: <"DqSYc2.0.EL6.HJs1v" mx1> Resent-From: vortex-l eskimo.com Reply-To: vortex-l eskimo.com X-Mailing-List: archive/latest/35087 X-Loop: vortex-l eskimo.com Precedence: list Resent-Sender: vortex-l-request eskimo.com Status: RO X-Status: In a message dated 04/25/2000 1:59:46 PM, JedRothwell infinite-energy.com writes: Mills <> You ignored the videotapes of the nearly four-hour presentation that Mills and his associates, plus Prof. Dr. Johannes Conrads, the former director of the Institute for Low Temperature Plasma, in Greifswald, Germany, gave at the ACS/SAS meeting in October 1999.

It is not blindness. I am incapable of understanding or appreciating the technical points he wishes to make. I could easily understand the demonstration of a heat generating device. But I am not the issue. He does not need to convince me. He needs to convince many other experts who CAN understand his technical arguments. He will never do that by lecturing. He must put the machines in the hands of experts, and show them how to proceed, just as AT&T showed people how to manufacture and use transistors. >Mills mentioned excess heat numbers only briefly at the meeting, but over the >years he's given many demonstrations of his energy cells to many people, only >to be told by most of them that all excess heat numbers, no matter how >strong, were suspect because of the cold fusion fiasco. With all due respect for Tom and Randy Mills, this is bullshit. Either his demonstrations are inept and unconvincing, or he is showing them to the wrong people. If he would give me a few of those machines I would convince the entire world in three months flat, and have every industrial corporation at his feet begging for a contract. I am no wizard. I have no special talents as a salesman. But I think any person with basic training in marketing could pull this off. This product is what you call "an easy sell." > I think that's why >he considers public demonstrations pointless, at least until he has a >self-sustaining device. I do not understand this comment. I thought the devices he has been making for the last few years have been gas loaded cells, which are "self-sustaining" by definition, since they have no input energy. Perhaps I misunderstood? In any case, he is dead wrong. Even a non-sustaining cell would be convincing if it was properly packaged, documented and presented. I used to sell microcomputer apps back when the machines were as unreliable as an early Model-T Fords driving through a foot of mud. The goods flew off the shelf. Selling them was like shooting fish in a barrel. Bill Gates sells unreliable garbage and he is the richest man on earth. I am sure the present generation of Mills devices would sell as quickly as he could crank them out, if he would only make a serious attempt to market them. Of course he could blow it. He could set up a sales demonstration like the infamous CETI Disneyland Hotel fiasco. Any machine, no matter how wonderful, can be mismarketed in a way that confuses people, alienates them, and drives away customers. Look at how Apple Computer blew their lead, threw away their advantages, and let Microsoft steal most of their market share with a crappy, unreliable knock-off product. >But that may change if Mills' battle becomes even more political than it >already is. It will have to change if he wants to win. He will never succeed with his present strategy. He is wasting his time and his stockholder's money in a hopeless battle. Please note I am talking about his SALES and MARKETING strategies only. Not his technical claims. There has been confusion about this. I have never criticized his technical claims, which I barely understand, or his theory, which I do not understand at all. I could not care less about either of them. The only thing that interests me are proof-of-principle energy generating devices. I do not question his expertise or alleged genius either. I can't tell how much he knows. I can tell you that he does not know beans about marketing. His comments relayed above prove that. Marketing takes no special skills, and it easier than physics or hydrino theories, but if you don't know it, you don't know it. Most people cannot do it by instinct or by guessing. (I sure couldn't.

International connections form a well-defined choke point which are relatively easy to tap. Years ago, international traffic was only a tiny fraction of domestic traffic. Perhaps it is growing rapidly with reduced cost and Internet connections. I do not think the NSA has enough capacity to monitor all connections within North America. I think you would have recreate a large chunk of the telecom network to do that, which would be a massive undertaking beyond the budget of the NSA and Pentagon. Also, domestic communications often use packet switching these days, which was designed to make it difficult to tap and assemble messages. At least, a few years ago it would have been impossible. Perhaps the state of the art has improved many orders of magnitude, but I doubt it. Tapping all domestic land line communications is akin to scanning the faces of every person in every airport, subway, tollbooth and shopping mall in the U.S. The ability to scan "1 million message inputs every 30 minutes" would not begin to suffice. The Japanese police are working on pattern recognition computers that may, in the future, be able to scan the faces of every person in every railroad station in the country in real time, to identify criminal suspects and missing persons from photographs, according to knowledgeable friend of mine. As frightening as government intrusions are, we should not lose sight of the fact that the most pervasive intrusions today are done by private industry, such as credit verification and credit card companies, HMOs, and the phone company. People who frequented Central Offices twenty years ago often heard customer conversations tapped and broadcast on loudspeakers, allegedly to test the quality of the lines. I do not know what the situation is like today. I think widespread use of PGP strong encryption would go a long way toward defeating both government and industry snoops. It would make the job millions of times more time consuming. It would defeat simple, rapid, automatic computer scans through plaintext for words like "gun" "explosive" by converting the messages to meaningless strings of numbers. Even if the government has the ability to crack 1024 bit encryption (which I doubt), it would probably take roughly as much time and computing power to crack one encrypted message as it takes to scan a million plaintext ones. Also you have to look up and associate public keys with the messages, which is an administrative burden, and not all public keys are public, by any means. Anyone who has something private to communicate should be using encryption. You can now purchase PGP internet telecom voice encoding devices, for conversations. I expect they run slowly with today's Internet dial up connections. According to today's theories of physics, quantum cryptography would defeat all spooks for all time. Unless some fundamental, revolutionary discovery about the nature of photons is made, quantum cryptography can never cracked under any circumstances, by any amount of computer power. Theoretically, a large volume of 1024 bit RSA code could be cracked in real time, if you have more computer power than exists on earth at your disposal, but no algorithm can crack a one-time pad. The problem with quantum cryptography is that it requires specialized hardware and a direct, fiber-optic connection to the person you want to communicate with, so it will not be available to ordinary citizens for decades, if ever. RSA (PGP) cryptography is implemented in software alone, so anyone can have it. If you can arrange for occasional secure, live, in-person meetings with the person you are communicating with, and you can secure your home or business against break-ins, bugs and hidden cameras, you can use a conventional one-time pad for unbreakable security. The spooks at the NSA and elsewhere probably have sophisticated way to break in and bug houses and buildings, but these operations are time consuming and expensive. Even a ruthless, lawless organization could not afford to physically infiltrate and monitor more than a tiny fraction of homes and businesses. The cheapest way to keep tabs on the whole population is to use human informers, and to make groups liable for the actions of individuals. This was done on a massive scale in East Germany, the Soviet Union and in pre-modern Tokugawa Japan. In Nazi Germany there was so much turmoil the system broke down, and some people got away with defying the government openly. One ex-soldier I knew was on the Gestapo hit list for most of 1944, but they never got around to arresting him, they were so backed up. An anti-Nazi German friend of mine grabbed the first opportunity he could, crossed the lines and surrendered without interference. He was an art student before the war, and he later married an American prison-camp nurse -- a black woman. Not all Germans fit the stereotypes. - Jed From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Thu Apr 27 09:03:51 2000 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id JAA19699; Thu, 27 Apr 2000 09:00:36 -0700 Resent-Date: Thu, 27 Apr 2000 09:00:36 -0700 Message-Id: <3.0.6.32.20000427120000.007af100 pop.mindspring.com> X-Sender: jedrothwell pop.mindspring.com X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Light Version 3.0.6 (32) Date: Thu, 27 Apr 2000 12:00:00 -0400 To: vortex-l eskimo.com, vortex-l@eskimo.com, From: Jed Rothwell Subject: Re: CNN.com - Technology - Feds may be reading your mail - April 26, 2000 In-Reply-To: <3.0.6.32.20000427094701.007b42c0 pop.mindspring.com> References: <003401bfb029$2ebab940$7c8e1d26 fjsparber> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Resent-Message-ID: <"UAe9E1.0.Xp4.YG62v" mx1> Resent-From: vortex-l eskimo.com Reply-To: vortex-l eskimo.com X-Mailing-List: archive/latest/35092 X-Loop: vortex-l eskimo.com Precedence: list Resent-Sender: vortex-l-request eskimo.com Status: O X-Status: I wrote: >The cheapest way to keep >tabs on the whole population is to use human informers, and to make groups >liable for the actions of individuals. I mean the weak link in a secure system is the operator. This is a well-known rule of thumb in the security biz. Usually, the easiest way to steal information is to subvert a member of the group with money or blackmail. You pay someone to steal the code. Or you look for sloppy operators who toss out secret codes in the trash, or use their own birthdates or "1234" for keys. This is how the daily Enigma settings were often broken during WWII. "Making groups liable for individual actions" refers to a ruthless technique perfected in ancient China. It was used there and in Japan until modern times. Groups, families or neighborhoods were divided into tens. If any member of a group broke a law, all were punished equally. In WWII POW camps, when one prisoner escaped, or tried to escape, the other nine assigned to his group were shot. The only rough equivalent I can think of in the U.S. are the RICO conspiracy laws. In response to this, premodern Japanese citizens developed elaborate ways to disguise who was responsible for what, or even who said what. For example, villagers might submit a petition with evidence that a government official was corrupt. The court might agree and punish the official, but as a matter of routine law the person or persons mainly responsible for submitting the petition in the first place would also have to be killed. Any defiance of the government, justified or not, was a capital offense. The government would pick the first ten people from the list of signatures and have them killed. To get around this illogical requirement, people learned to sign petitions in a circle, from the center out in spokes, the way people sometimes sign their names on Japanese flags today. There was no top or bottom to the list, no beginning or end, and thus no designated ringleaders. The government could hardly slaughter the entire village, so everyone went free. This kind of technique is cheaper and easier than bugging houses or trying to crack 1024 bit RSA codes. When you set any rules you like, you do not need high technology to impose airtight control on a society. - Jed From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Thu Apr 27 11:41:18 2000 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id LAA13113; Thu, 27 Apr 2000 11:39:31 -0700 Resent-Date: Thu, 27 Apr 2000 11:39:31 -0700 Date: Thu, 27 Apr 2000 11:13:52 -0700 (PDT) From: hank scudder To: vortex-l eskimo.com Subject: Re: More on quantum entanglement and one time pad In-Reply-To: <3.0.6.32.20000426174605.0079f100 pop.mindspring.com> Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Resent-Message-ID: <"D6eyT.0.kC3.Xb82v" mx1> Resent-From: vortex-l eskimo.com Reply-To: vortex-l eskimo.com X-Mailing-List: archive/latest/35093 X-Loop: vortex-l eskimo.com Precedence: list Resent-Sender: vortex-l-request eskimo.com Status: O X-Status: Sounds like any orgy to me :>} Hank On Wed, 26 Apr 2000, Jed Rothwell wrote: > This article describes the same cryptographic technique that was used with > the older quantum effect cryptography, which employed polarized filters. > With the old technique, the filters are shifted at random by a machine, and > only one photon is transmitted per bit.

I have devised a means to defeat the Dutch requirement to provide assistance with the keys outlined at the above URL. That means I have devised eliminates the need to know or even to retrieve the keys altogether. It is based on a special use of a modified RSA type algorithm for key exchange. The scheme is based on periodic random generation of multiple psuedo-prime pairs for use in the RSA-like algorithm. The basis of my scheme is that at startup, and periodically, the initial public key exchange occurs in the encryption key of the prior generation cypher multiple times. In other words, at start-up, multiple generations of cyphers are produced. In this way extensive testing of the psudo-primes is not required because lots of them are generated and exchanged in the initial startup of the protocol, which is done well in advance of, and possibly in parallel with, the actual message exchange. Only several of the keys need be strong to protect the cypher. Since the probability of a weak key is small, the conditional probability of multiple sequential weak key generations is very small. After startup in the above manner, a special key is generated and exchanged in the nth generation cypher, to be used in another special algorithm I have devised for fast exchange of a randomly generated one time pad. This one time pad makes for very fast communication in small data increments at the time of need for commuincations. The startup exchange and pad generation can go on continually when the channel is idle so as to as to keep fresh pad available for fast communications. When a suitable buffer of fresh pad is full and unused it can be still be discarded unused to make room for the fresh pad. In this way (a) all coordination of encryption is hands off (b) there is no need for physical key exchange (c) data exchange is fast at the time of need (d) the communication channel is kept busy with volumes of unintelligible garbage, only some of which is useful, thus hiding message volume as well as providing a fromidable computation burden, (e) there is no worry about losing cypher keys, and (f) the scheme can be managed and provided by a third party who has no access to the keys - provided that party did not implement or fall victum to a "trogan board." The disadvantage is that the data transmitted is only protected from interception in the communications medium. Once received, any data must be left in the clear or enrypted using another scheme for data storage, or destroyed. Another disadvantage is that a separate board with dedicated cpu and electronic random number generator is required on at least one end to implement the scheme efficiently. That board could reside on a server at any location of choice.

You are saying that when all is said and done, and the information is exchanged, the key is automatically lost. Correct? >The disadvantage is that the data transmitted is only protected from >interception in the communications medium.

Well, this would bring us right back to where we started, with the Dutch police threatening people's civil rights. If the data is retained anywhere in the computer, it would have to be with a known, unlost key of some sort, and therefore according to the proposed law they could force you to tell them what the key is. I think I see Horace's point though. If the key is lost and the plaintext data on your computer is erased, then even if the police have collected the encoded data in transmission, they cannot force you to unlock it, simply because you can't decode it any more than they can. This is interesting. - Jed From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Thu Apr 27 14:33:14 2000 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id OAA31686; Thu, 27 Apr 2000 14:31:23 -0700 Resent-Date: Thu, 27 Apr 2000 14:31:23 -0700 Message-ID: <3908B280.F52454CD bellsouth.net> Date: Thu, 27 Apr 2000 17:34:56 -0400 From: Terry Blanton X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.72 [en] (WinNT; U) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: vortex-l eskimo.com Subject: Re: Euclidean Universe References: <39074003.D894E79E bellsouth.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Resent-Message-ID: <"WCeBj.0.0l7.h6B2v" mx1> Resent-From: vortex-l eskimo.com Reply-To: vortex-l eskimo.com X-Mailing-List: archive/latest/35097 X-Loop: vortex-l eskimo.com Precedence: list Resent-Sender: vortex-l-request eskimo.com Status: O X-Status: Rick Monteverde wrote: > > Thanks for the warning.

Correct? Yes - periodically keys are replaced and the old ones discarded. The computer knows the key at a given moment, but at any time a new key can be provided and the old discarded. The comparative low volume and high security of the key exchange protocol permits this. For efficiency keys could be exchanged slightly in advance of their need, and in parallel to the session, but requiring only a small amount of bandwidth of the session for the exchange protocol. Echange of the one time pad does eat up about half the session time, but that part can run during idle periods. > > >>The disadvantage is that the data transmitted is only protected from >>interception in the communications medium.

This is interesting. Yes. Once the key for the actual transmission is replaced by a new one it is no longer possible to decipher the old encrypted data. Frequent key replacement combined with superfluous data transmission obsoletes the data pretty fast and turns cryptoanalysis into a computational nightmare. I should add that you probably should start off with a known key, but that is not required because after a short time no one knows the keys in use except the computers - without finding every key in a long string of cyphers.

"They rather resemble tar-like substances than minerals" say Dr. Franz R. Krueger (contractor) and Dr.Jochen Kissel, Max-Planck-Institut fur extraterrestrische Physik (for extraterrestrial Physics), Garching near Munich, Germany, in the latest issue of 'Sterne und Weltraum' a monthly, German language Astronomy magazine in Heidelberg, Germany. So far, 5 interstellar dust particles (dust between the stars) have hit the Garching built dust impact mass spectrometer CIDA (Cometary and Interstellar Dust Analyzer) onboard the NASA spacecraft STARDUST. Launched on Feb 7th 1999 STARDUST will visit comet Wild-2 (pronounce Vild-2) in 2004. To reach the comet, STARDUST has to perform three orbits about the sun. At the close fly-by (miss-distance 500 km/300 miles) another instrument will collect cometary dust and return it, well packed, to earth in January of 2006. During its 7 year mission, STARDUST will face the stream of interstellar dust several times. This dust is part of the local environment in the Milky Way which the solar system currently passes through at high speed. It has recently be seen by dust instruments of the Heidelberg-based Max-Planck-Institut fur Kernphysik (for Nuclear Physics) on both NASA's Galileo and ESA's Ulysses spacecrafts. The first measuring campaign for CIDA from February through December 1999 has produced the new results. During this time STARDUST was at a distance of about 240 million kilometers (150 million miles) from the earth when the first impact occurred. Just before the campaign the spacecraft pointed the instrument into the direction of the interstellar dust, so that it would not measure the more frequent interplanetary dust particles, which are parts of our solar system. At an impact speed of about 30 kilometers/second (18 miles/second) these interstellar dust particles are vaporized immediately and broken up into molecular fragments. A fraction of those carries a positive or negative electronic charge. By its electric field in front of the target CIDA pulls the positive ions into the instrument to the detector. Depending on their mass it takes the ions different times to travel the 1.5 meters (5 feet) distance (heavier ions travel longer). This way they are detected mass after mass with in some 200 millionth of a second, and a mass spectrum is generated. "It is the size of these molecular fragments with nuclear masses of up to 2000 (water e.g. has 18 such units) which surprised us as much as the seemingly absence of any mineral constituents", explains Dr. Kissel of the Garching-based Max-Planck-Institut fur extraterrestrische Physik. "Only organic molecules can reach those sizes". The largest molecules found in space so far are the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) which reach masses of a few hundred mass units. The details of the mass spectra measured with CIDA show that the molecules of the interstellar dust must have about 10% of nitrogen and/or oxygen in addition to hydrogen and carbon. This means that these cannot be pure PAHs, which are planar, but are especially due to the nitrogen extend into all three spacial directions. Such three dimensional molecules can form links to their neighbours andreach a thermal stability necessary to survive the trip into the inner solar system with 300 to 350 Kelvin (70 to 180 degrees Fahrenheit). "The organic material analyzed with CIDA in the interstellar dust particles is another type of reactive molecules which we found in the dust of comet Halley 14 years ago" says Dr. Kissel. "When they got in contact with liquid water on the young earth, they could have triggered the type of chemical reactions which are a prerequisite for the origin of life."

In any case, even if some of these compounds are silicon based, we still are faced with a conundrum: what happened to the inorganic molecules of the more ordinary sizes that we see here on Earth? What process in interstellar space is contributing to the predominance of large, complex molecules? Life in interstellar space, perhaps? Or even interstellar shipping lanes, into which alien travelers expel their waste? This strikes me as a very odd, and very suggestive result. --MJ}*** > From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Fri Apr 28 13:44:19 2000 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id NAA12977; Fri, 28 Apr 2000 13:36:15 -0700 Resent-Date: Fri, 28 Apr 2000 13:36:15 -0700 Message-Id: <3.0.6.32.20000428163530.00799580 pop.mindspring.com> X-Sender: jedrothwell pop.mindspring.com X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Light Version 3.0.6 (32) Date: Fri, 28 Apr 2000 16:35:30 -0400 To: vortex-l eskimo.com From: Jed Rothwell Subject: Re: Giuliano Preparata In-Reply-To: <200004281554.LAA04813 mercury.mv.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Resent-Message-ID: <"DzEBT.0.hA3._OV2v" mx1> Resent-From: vortex-l eskimo.com Reply-To: vortex-l eskimo.com X-Mailing-List: archive/latest/35106 X-Loop: vortex-l eskimo.com Precedence: list Resent-Sender: vortex-l-request eskimo.com Status: O X-Status: This is awful.

That's OK with Helms who vows to block any "grand treaty initiatives" in the remaining months of the Clinton Administration anyway. In the meantime the Congressional Budget Office now estimates the total cost at $60B for a limited missile defense system that most experts say will provide little if any protection. With this background, a lame-duck president is preparing to travel to a summit in Moscow to negotiate changes in the ABM treaty. Secretary of State Albright is optimistic. 2. ISS: IT'S BEGINNING TO SOUND A LOT LIKE MIR. While Atlantis remained on the ground this week due to bad weather, the orbit of the uninhabited station continued to decay by about 1.5 miles per week. The faster-than-usual decay is blamed on increased solar activity. Because the Russian service module is two years behind schedule, Atlantis is needed to boost the orbit. Another try may not take place before May 18, due to a heavy launch schedule. Meanwhile, the station is down to four functioning batteries and another is failing--at least three are needed to keep the station from tumbling. While on the station, the crew will have to wear ear plugs because of the poor acoustic design and use personal fans to circulate the stale air that sickened the last crew. By comparison, Mir, which Russia hopes to convert into a tourist hotel, should be able to charge for luxury accommodations. 3. NUCLEAR PHOBIA I: NO EXCESS CANCERS FROM THREE MILE ISLAND. A 13-year study of people living within five miles of the Three Mile Island nuclear plant found no increase in cancer deaths due to the 1979 accident. You will not be surprised to learn that the University of Pittsburgh researchers called for continued monitoring of the resident's health, while nuclear activists insisted the study must be flawed and called for expanding it to ten miles from the plant. There have been no calls for similar studies around coal-fired power plants, which deposit vastly greater amounts of radioactivity as well as other carcinogens. 4. NUCLEAR PHOBIA II: CHILDREN KEPT AWAY FROM HALL OF SCIENCE. The Alameda County Board of Education called for a moratorium on field trips to the Lawrence Hall of Science where hundreds of children are shown the wonders of science each day. The Board acted at the urging of the Berkeley-based Committee to Minimize Toxic Waste which claims the area is contaminated by tritium from the nearby National Tritium Labeling Facility. Astounded LBL and EPA officials explained to the Board that levels comply with federal guidelines, but the Board was unmoved.

I liked his Italian flair for the dramatic and humor. At the 5th, with all due respect to his memory, I thought some of it was misplaced when strong objection was raised on someone disclosing the rumored, and 'confidential' findings of the late Kevin Wolf (who denied or did not believe his own findings) on transmutations in his cold fusion experiments ('Gene knows more about this than I). I did not know Preparata personally but did catch a bit of him at the ICCF-5 and 6 (he is on videotape). Missed him at the ICCF-7 and expected to catch him at the 8th. A very strong and interesting believer in cold fusion. I will miss him. -AK- From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Fri Apr 28 19:47:33 2000 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id TAA08447; Fri, 28 Apr 2000 19:45:33 -0700 Resent-Date: Fri, 28 Apr 2000 19:45:33 -0700 From: Robin van Spaandonk To: vortex-l eskimo.com Subject: Re: Stardust, or Tardust?

If you want to debunk the idea that organic matter predominates in interstellar dust, I think the best argument would be that the sample--a mere five dust particles so far--is too small to be representative of the norm. --Mitchell Jones}*** > > >Regards, > >Robin van Spaandonk From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Sat Apr 29 18:44:27 2000 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id SAA08748; Sat, 29 Apr 2000 18:41:19 -0700 Resent-Date: Sat, 29 Apr 2000 18:41:19 -0700 Message-ID: <004001bfb245$33fefe20$0201a8c0 m> From: "Michael Randall" To: , "FreeNRG" Subject: Greg Watson's e-mail update Date: Sat, 29 Apr 2000 18:41:27 -0700 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2615.200 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2615.200 Resent-Message-ID: <"7PqUI3.0.X82.-yu2v" mx1> Resent-From: vortex-l eskimo.com Reply-To: vortex-l eskimo.com X-Mailing-List: archive/latest/35112 X-Loop: vortex-l eskimo.com Precedence: list Resent-Sender: vortex-l-request eskimo.com Status: RO X-Status: Hi All, Gregory Watson gowatson hotmail.com asked to tell he me to tell others (SMOT purchasers) that he is not using the gowatson ozemail.com.au email address anymore.
