They do not check or verify that those ideas actually work in practice. So pointing to a pattent as proof that a claim is valid is invalid. I've never seen a perpetual motion machine of the third kind (makes more energy than it uses). If I was sufficently anal, I might check this out in depth, as this law of physics simply means it has never been observed before. But, I'm not. It is sufficent for me that they never are self sustaining. I have a lot of respect for Mr. Naudin, but his explaination of how the MEG works conflicts with what I learned as an EE. Bearden himself says he has a magic material that extracts zero point energy from the vacuum, but he isn't going to reveal what that is. That makes the whole point of replication academic, doesn't it? How can you claim to replicate when the founder of the effect says that he has never told anyone what the device is.

Naturally, it would affect fund raising! As things stand, they will probably have to struggle for 5 or 10 years to find the money, and give up 90% of the company equity for it. On the other hand, if they were to demonstrate the machine publicly, and give away a few prototypes for evaluation under n.d.a.'s, they would have the $29 million in one month, in exchange for 5% of company. - Jed From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Wed May 1 07:30:58 2002 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id HAA01853; Wed, 1 May 2002 07:29:51 -0700 Resent-Date: Wed, 1 May 2002 07:29:51 -0700 X-Sent: 1 May 2002 14:29:18 GMT Message-Id: <5.1.0.14.2.20020501101303.03232848 mail.DIRECTVInternet.com> X-Sender: jedrothwell mail.DIRECTVInternet.com X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 5.1 Date: Wed, 01 May 2002 10:24:46 -0400 To: vortex-l eskimo.com, From: Jed Rothwell Subject: Re: fuel cell scooter In-Reply-To: <007e01c1f0eb$aedec3a0$5c8f209a ggrf30j> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Resent-Message-ID: <"x5XW91.0.tS.Ul_py" mx1> Resent-From: vortex-l eskimo.com Reply-To: vortex-l eskimo.com X-Mailing-List: archive/latest/46965 X-Loop: vortex-l eskimo.com Precedence: list Resent-Sender: vortex-l-request eskimo.com Status: O X-Status: Nick Palmer wrote: > Here's a press release about a hydrogen powered 3kw fuel cell >scooter.

I suspect the 2.5 kW is a peak power rating to cover the demands of the dynamic balancing capability which has to function in all kinds of circumstances, uphill, downhill, over bumps and all the rest. There could be a need for quite large power bursts to keep from dumping the rider. I agree with one kW for a scooter. It would be too much for a bicycle. the power output of a well - conditioned male is about a third horsepower, I believe. Bicycles and scooters are very effective transducers of muscle to motive power, and we would not want bicycle racers on the sidewalk. The Segway interests are working with regulatory bodies for permission for the Segway to be on sidewalks. There are objections from people who see only the top speed capability and not its small footprint and intuitive interface.

Shame on you! :). You may disagree with my and other reports of testimonials of the Correa's PAGD work and self sustaining motors, but this is just a prejudice on your part. I stand by my observations as do the handful of others who have seen and measured their PAGD and aether motors. Now they have other devices (see latest letters of support by me and others posted on their web site.) One is a perpetually spinning wheel that drives against friction with no input power at all. It has been spinning for months. I was there when it spun -- under my direct observation and testing -- for over a day. There is NO mistake. Another is a self charging capacitor circuit. Another is their aether field meter, which has profound medical implications --as do the aether motors themselves. Again, there are some people, such as the Correas, who are far more interested in science than in commercialization and "changing the world." They have their own standards and agenda. They don't feel they owe anything to "humanity." They are the most wonderful people, but they just don't happen to buy into your idea that they or we owe the world anything -- just because they have discovered free energy and are far ahead of the Mills, Bearden, and cold fusion community (with respect to the technical performance of their devices). They have resurrected the line of work that Tesla and Reich began. They have published exemplary scientific articles on experiment and theory -- just as the cold fusion people have. Further, there is almost no doubt in my mind that cold fusion will never be understood by the pathetic, wrong, physics that passes for truth in textbooks today. You may disagree vehemently with this philosophy of the Correas, but at least acknowledge that it is an individual position which is as valid within its own context as any other philosophy. They have a right to their own property. If they think that the world does not deserve this technology on the world's own commercial terms, they are welcome to that view. Also you should acknowledge that you do not have enough scientific understanding to evaluate their work and you have unfortunately and carelessly burned your bridges with them. For the Correas it is is science, not business first. Blast away if you wish :) You're good at that, but you are still as wrong as wrong can be.

When Darwin published his theory, an old woman remarked, "let us hope it is not true, or if it is true, let us hope it does not become generally known." That is how I feel about Gold's theory. I hope we do not find a huge new supply of oil. (I also hope we do not run out abruptly.) A great deal more oil would be bad for several reasons. The world is already drowning in oil pollution. Even if some wells are being replenished, the ones in Texas are not being replenished fast enough to supply the U.S., so we will continue to depend on unfriendly foreign nations. Huge supplies and low oil prices will inhibit research into cleaner alternatives. Finally, even if underground supplies of oil are inexhaustible, the technology for drilling, extracting and refining oil is not likely to improve much. It is already mature. This means the price of oil will not fall. Oil and gas are too expensive for poor people already, even in the U.S. I think the average American spends roughly 10% of his income on energy, roughly the same as in 1900. Essentially, we have made no progress. By now it should have fallen to less than 1%. The fraction of our income we spend on other necessities, such as food, has fallen. Only energy stubbornly resists progress. (The fraction of income spent on health care has skyrocketed, but that is because many effective new treatments were developed in the last century.) - Jed From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Wed May 1 09:23:48 2002 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id JAA28982; Wed, 1 May 2002 09:20:30 -0700 Resent-Date: Wed, 1 May 2002 09:20:30 -0700 Message-ID: <20020501161843.39429.qmail web11203.mail.yahoo.com> Date: Wed, 1 May 2002 09:18:43 -0700 (PDT) From: Charles Ford Subject: Re: MEG measurement errors?

Does the system take into consideration that you are floading 500V at 20KHz? Ever heard of crosstalk? Here is an idea. Allow the current probe a ground referance. This will eliminate any HV noise blasting into the low voltage lowZ current probe. Watch the OU effect go away. The OU effect went away because it was not OU it was input crosstalk.

The overhead for an electric motor is much lower than a heat engine, so it should be easier to make an electrical o/u device self sustain. A heat engine must be ~500% o/u; an electric engine can self sustain with ~110%.

I see no evidence that Mills or Bearden have anything. Mills has spent millions in commercial R&D without producing a product, and he has missed many announced deadlines. Any businessman would agree that is a strong warning signal that he is in deep trouble, and he cannot do what he claimed. Based on Bearden's letters to me last year, Mizuno and I agree he is probably incompetent. He does not appear to understand elementary physics or engineering. >They have resurrected the line of work that Tesla and Reich began. I do not believe Telsa or Reich either. >They have published exemplary scientific articles on experiment and theory >. . . These articles are not couched in normal scientific terminology. The scientists I have spoken with cannot make head or tail of them. Perhaps the articles are correct, but there is no way the rest of us can judge them, or learn from them. It would be a good idea for the Correas to try to express these concepts in more conventional terms. New scientific breakthroughs have often been expressed in older terms, even when the breakthroughs made the older terms obsolete. See, for example, Franklin's descriptions of electricity, or Dyson's restatement of Feynman's laws. >You may disagree vehemently with this philosophy of the Correas, but at >least acknowledge that it is an individual position which is as valid >within its own context as any other philosophy. I am not a cultural relativist. Philosophies and points of view are not all equally valid.

It is like withholding food when you have a huge surplus and thousands of people are starving. Property rights are not absolute. They are an artifact of society, like corporations. They are often revoked or overridden for larger purposes, such as emergencies. When your neighbor's house is on fire, your neighbor has a right to use your telephone and your garden hose, even though they are your property. If you refuse to let him use the telephone, you are guilty of depraved indifference to life or negligent homicide. In the laws of Massachusetts this is defined as, "a gross deviation from the standard of care that a reasonable man would exercise in the same situation." 30,000 to 50,000 people die every week for lack of energy. Their right to survive far outweighs the Correa's intellectual property rights. This situation would be a moral outrage if the Correas claims were true, but I do not think they are, so it is only a farce. >Also you should acknowledge that you do not have enough scientific >understanding to evaluate their work . . . Anyone with a high school level knowledge of physics can evaluate their work. They claim their device produces excess energy. They claim they have kept battery packs running indefinitely.

It was not careless. It was a calculated act, the culmination of many years of watching them in disgust. I stand by it. There are three possibilities: 1. They are liars and they have faked their results. 2. They are insane. 3. They are morally depraved monsters who withhold vitally important technology. I do not want to be associated with people in any of these categories. The Correas' behavior over the last decade convinces me that even if they have something, they will never reveal it or allow others access to it, so they might as well have nothing. They are tantamount to a fraud. Like Moray and so many others, they are determined to take this technology to the grave with them. They will succeed in that, and nothing else. >For the Correas it is is science, not business first. People who are not interested in business should give away their discoveries, the way J. P.

I agree, a careful reading of the patent shows little in conflict with the accepted laws of physics. The patent was granted precisely because the applicants conceded that the device is not a perpetual motion machine but a battery. The promotion of the MEG is another matter entirely. It's a shame really, there are good ideas in the MEG which are being steamrolled by Tom's promotion and theories. This is certainly not a new phenomena. Steve, please read the patent again. Also look at the prior art. In the end, what matters is a closed loop device. If MEL delivers then all argument ceases, as Jed rightly points out.

I think it should be limited to 6 or 8 mph for sidewalk use. This is about as fast as most joggers run. Many other vehicles are allowed on sidewalks, such as motorized wheelchairs, shopping carts and strollers. The Segway has a smaller footprint than these, it is more maneuverable, and when you run over someone's foot it does not hurt. Kamen demonstrated this in Atlanta by deliberately running over the reporter's foot. So, apart from concerns about speed, it is well-suited for use on sidewalks. I would install a "sidewalk mode" switch on the Segway, which limits speed. If a rider causes an accident with a Segway at the higher "road mode" speed, the police should give him a ticket. They ticket bicycle riders who cause accidents and run stop signs. In downtown Atlanta the police are patrolling with Segways. The police should be allowed to ride them at top speed if necessary! Police mounted on bicycles can outrun any criminal fleeing on foot. With practice they can ride up or down staircases. - Jed From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Wed May 1 10:52:53 2002 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id KAA18383; Wed, 1 May 2002 10:44:21 -0700 Resent-Date: Wed, 1 May 2002 10:44:21 -0700 Message-ID: <20020501174415.87260.qmail web11205.mail.yahoo.com> Date: Wed, 1 May 2002 10:44:15 -0700 (PDT) From: Charles Ford Subject: Re: MEG measurement errors?

You can ether use your resistive load to heat a thermal mass and prove over unity through calorimetry.

Mike -- The problem is not the scope, but the way the probes may interact with the circuit. After reading your message and others, it now seems very likely that he used the P5102 10x probes designed for that scope (see http://www.tektronix.com/Measurement/cgi-bin/framed.pl?Document=/Measurement/Products/catalog/p2100/specs.html&FrameSet=accessories). My original hypothesis may not be correct, because he probably used the same 10x probes for both voltage and current, although the writeup does not state this explicitly. However, these 10x probes have other problems. To make them high voltage, Tek made them low impedance. Their loading is 5 Mohms and 11.2 pf. The burned out resistor has about 3 Mohms of DC resistance. So with the scope connected, DC output loading drops from 3 M to 3M in parallel with 5M, or about 1.9 Mohms. But the capacitance is also important. At 20 KHz, 11.2 pf has a reactance of just .7 Mohms. That means that the load is predominantly capacitive, and the scope loading is way too heavy to be ignored in the analysis. The scope has only two channels, so it looks like he measured input voltage and current, then switched the scope to measure output voltage and current. But with the scope on the output, loading is much stiffer, and it would have drawn more input current at that point. It is very hard to do an analysis like this at a distance. I am just trying to point out that it is not easy to measure power and phase differences in high impedance, high voltage circuits. And the effect of the input loading of measurement devices definitely should not be ignored. A measurement error seems much more likely than aether energy. -- Bob Horst From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Wed May 1 11:16:32 2002 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id LAA06373; Wed, 1 May 2002 11:16:08 -0700 Resent-Date: Wed, 1 May 2002 11:16:08 -0700 X-Sent: 1 May 2002 18:14:55 GMT Message-Id: <5.1.0.14.2.20020501134856.0322a318 mail.DIRECTVInternet.com> X-Sender: jedrothwell mail.DIRECTVInternet.com X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 5.1 Date: Wed, 01 May 2002 13:53:14 -0400 To: vortex-L eskimo.com From: Jed Rothwell Subject: Re: MEG measurement errors?

In that case, should the deal fall through I would recommend demonstrations and prototypes for evaluation under n.d.a.'s. That should be Plan B. I have no moral objection to the "secret conspiracy" business strategy, but it never works, as far as I know. The Wrights tried it from 1905 to 1908, getting nowhere. I spent several years doing this in software ventures. The deals always fall through. The inventor cannot put pressure on investors. Investors left to their instincts will dither instead of acting. Patterson (CETI) held back at PowerGen, putting on a half-baked, half-hidden demo with deliberately wretched instrumentation. They told me they were doing this because they were involved in delicate negotiations with Motorola, and they wanted a demonstration convincing enough to put the fear of God into Motorola, but not so convincing it would seriously attract other potential investors and customers. They did not want to attract other people because they feared that might trigger competition. Naturally, they failed at both goals. No one can fine-tune a business presentation to that extent! Imagine a fellow has a warehouse full of 10,000 remaindered widgets. Imagine he tries to write a television advertisement calibrated to attract 10,000 customers, not 9,000 or 11,000. - Jed From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Wed May 1 13:02:23 2002 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id MAA06313; Wed, 1 May 2002 12:58:57 -0700 Resent-Date: Wed, 1 May 2002 12:58:57 -0700 X-Authentication-Warning: eskimo.com: lajoie owned process doing -bs Date: Wed, 1 May 2002 12:58:53 -0700 (PDT) From: Stephen Lajoie To: vortex-l eskimo.com Subject: Re: MEG measurement errors?

I have the user's manual which does not include the circuit diagram, so I don't know how they arrange the circuitry. But each input channel has its own ground and each channel can be connected to voltage sources with separate grounds which are up to 1000 V apart without damage to the instrument or the operator. Each channel is sampled synchronously but separately. It's not difficult in principle to have two input amplifiers and samplers with optical coupling of clock and data. Power to the modules can be conveyed by a well-insulated transformer operating a high frequencies with shielding of all the windings. > > Ever heard of crosstalk? Of course I have.

Bearden is not here listening. Naudin apparently reads Vortex, for his comments show up occasionally. From what I have seen of his work over the years, he very clearly understands how to measure power. I'm just another resident of the peanut gallery who is interested in seeing that the conversation about various devices is based on the real issues and not assumptions about the instrumentation. I don't know whether Bearden is right or not, and there are some things about Naudin's measurements that bother me. But it's not his oscilloscope or measurements made with it.

The secondary winding inductance is given as 5.7 H, which has a reactance of about 0.7 Mohms at 20 kHz. So, neatly, the output windings resonate with the probe capacitance. However, given the configuration of the windings, it seems likely that there is stray capacitance that would also produce self-resonance of the coils. Pursuing this further, the coil inductance was probably measured under low signal conditions without the bias of the permanent magnet, so we don't know what the actual inductance of these windings are under the operating conditions, given the strong saturation properties of the core material. Naudin reports that the drive frequency has to be tuned to get a sinewave output waveform, which suggests that the coils are in resonance, since the core material has a nonlinear B-H characteristic. > > The scope has only two channels, so it looks like he measured input voltage and > current, then switched the scope to measure output voltage and current.

I agree that it is very difficult to correctly analyze the data given, which is not enough to answer all doubts that can be raised. One can and should resist paradigm shifts where there is a possibility of measurement error, particularly in the EM-OU field, where most of the claims have been found to be based on faulty measurements. Naudin seems to do careful work with good instruments so I don't dismiss his findings a priori. But I have, for example, seen the Correa PAGD in operation in his lab and the effect seems real. I was there as a guest, not doing due diligence, so I didn't rip apart the setup looking for hidden deceits.

There is nothing "magical" about the material. The significant feature is the extremely fine crystal structure which minimizes hysteresis and eddy current losses. The material itself does not "extract" zero point energy from the vacuum. The high permeability and low losses of the material essentially capture and confine the entire magnetic flux from the permanent magnets, separating it from another energy potential which is manipulated by the driver coils. I can't go any further than this, for I don't really understand the ideas that Bearden is using.

IIRC, that is correct and how I understood it. Further, I understand, from Naudin's website, that Bearden says that he has a material that gets energy from "zero point energy" of vacuum. Naudin notes that he does not have this material. At this point, you have to ask yourself; if Naudin is correct, then why does Bearden need this material? If Bearden is correct, then why does Naudin's experiment "work". > The significant feature is the extremely fine crystal structure which > minimizes hysteresis and eddy current losses.

Think motorcycle. Scooters are small motorcycles, usually with a automatic gearbox nowadays instead of a manual, and quite often can go as fast as 80 miles an hour quite safely. They're becoming very popular in Europe because of the relatively low cost of getting on the road. You do need to wear a crash helmet, be licenced to ride a motorbike and be insured in England, so effectively they are motorbikes.

Even taking that into account a fuel cell should waste less energy overall compared to a conventional gasoline engine. - Jed From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Thu May 2 08:47:20 2002 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id IAA08659; Thu, 2 May 2002 08:41:23 -0700 Resent-Date: Thu, 2 May 2002 08:41:23 -0700 From: BVicknair bjservices.com Subject: Re: more MEG To: vortex-l eskimo.com X-Mailer: Lotus Notes Release 5.0.4 June 8, 2000 Message-ID: Date: Wed, 1 May 2002 16:45:13 -0500 X-MIMETrack: Serialize by Router on LNGW1/BJSUSA/BJSERVICES(Release 5.0.7 |March 21, 2001) at 05/02/2002 10:45:06 AM MIME-Version: 1.0 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 IAA08528 Resent-Message-ID: <"el3B02.0.m62.VuLqy" mx1> Resent-From: vortex-l eskimo.com Reply-To: vortex-l eskimo.com X-Mailing-List: archive/latest/46998 X-Loop: vortex-l eskimo.com Precedence: list Resent-Sender: vortex-l-request eskimo.com Status: O X-Status: The language I was referring to was implied overunity and 'closing the loop. ie self powering feedback.

Not surprising; what's being claimed is not a perpetual motion machine but a battery, one which wears down with use. People seem to be confusing the Bearden promotion with what the patent itself actually says. It's a shame the actually inventor, Dr. Kenny has not expressed himself publically on the MEG, except perhaps outside the patent. But of course that would probably ruin the biz plan... I'm curious what you mean by "squeezing magnetics". Describe how you see this effect in the homopolar generator you describe, using pulsed coils rather than a rotating disk. It would be nice to move this discussion on to something with some meat on it.

I know very little about Bearden et al but did read the latest patent. The permanent magnet is replaced periodically. What is that period? You would be required to insert such language in order to obtain a US patent. The disc experiment was two discs, one of copper and the other alum. Disc A (copper) had 8 fets controlled by a micro to allow variable ramp up time and phasing. The current is not pulsed but rather switched similar to a phased motor. The "segments" overlap by n microseconds. Simulated speeds of 100,000 rpm may be obtained. The PM is arranged Faraday style. What is observed after removing power is of interest. "Something" (viewed with a scope)"winds down" and syncs up periodically. Odd that Disc B (alum) did not exhibit the effect. The point is possibly the MEG and its variants have coupled with this background 'field'. Even if it is a battery effect, there could be commercial value. Lets save squeezing magnetics for another day. bv From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Thu May 2 16:40:46 2002 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id QAA16790; Thu, 2 May 2002 16:38:12 -0700 Resent-Date: Thu, 2 May 2002 16:38:12 -0700 X-Authentication-Warning: eskimo.com: billb owned process doing -bs Date: Thu, 2 May 2002 16:37:58 -0700 (PDT) From: William Beaty Reply-To: William Beaty To: vortex-l eskimo.com cc: nick7 itl.net, maslow@ix.netcom.com, Info@hawkassociates.com Subject: WARNING ABOUT: SELL Fuel cell scooter In-Reply-To: <00d201c1f174$a426ef80$cd9b09ca h9t5o6> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Resent-Message-ID: <"PyGzo3.0.F64.ZtSqy" mx1> Resent-From: vortex-l eskimo.com X-Mailing-List: archive/latest/47003 X-Loop: vortex-l eskimo.com Precedence: list Resent-Sender: vortex-l-request eskimo.com Status: O X-Status: Be warned: this guy's a famous spammer.

For those of you who are still stuck in the physical paradigm and agree with the old boy on this matter, consider Death Touch Tom who was interviewed on the Art Bell program on Wednesday night. Tom's form of martial arts involves certain pressure points on the body which can short circuit your opponent's body causing him to temporarily loose strength. It turns out that a stronger application of this energy can cause death. According to Tom, the reason that orientals bowed, as opposed to shaking hands is because you never knew who knew these techniques and would give you a deadly jolt. Also he attributed certain bubbling out in the armour that samari warriors wore to shielding the energy points around the stomach. The accomplished marshal artist can jolt someone in a way that they will die two or three days later, from apparently natural causes. Tom alluded to an induced wobble in a top were the wobble comes and goes and comes and goes before the top falls over. The most interesting comment he made concerned the nature of the energy. He mentioned they have measured heat an electromagnetic energy and gamma radiation! Tom is a martial artist and not a physicist, so he has no understanding of nonhertzian waves. Those of you how looked at the website put up by professor Meryl know that the nonhertzian waves that his equipment detect are involved with the operation of the body. I assume that Tom has a website and that it would be linked from the Art Bell website. If some of you are interested in discussing this matter further, perhaps we would engage Tom in a discussion, His email address is deathtouchtom yahoo.com . Since Parkie doesn't believe in this nonsense, perhaps he would be interested in being a guinne pig for Tom to demonstrate his techniques on. We might be able to kill two birds with one stone. -- From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Fri May 3 09:37:15 2002 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id JAA08433; Fri, 3 May 2002 09:34:26 -0700 Resent-Date: Fri, 3 May 2002 09:34:26 -0700 Reply-To: From: "Keith Nagel" To: Cc: Subject: RE: magnetics Date: Fri, 3 May 2002 12:46:40 -0400 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2910.0) X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2314.1300 In-Reply-To: Importance: Normal Resent-Message-ID: <"LUeoV2.0.e32.Hmhqy" mx1> Resent-From: vortex-l eskimo.com X-Mailing-List: archive/latest/47006 X-Loop: vortex-l eskimo.com Precedence: list Resent-Sender: vortex-l-request eskimo.com Status: O X-Status: Hi bv.

Again, I stress that the patent is for a battery. If that is conceded by the claimants, there is no need to specify the efficiency of the battery. That you get more out than what you put in is a claim of Beardens and not of this patent; although the implication is certainly there. That's more business plan than science, all of Beardens contacts would certainly drop the ball if it became obvious that the device was not OU. Even closing the loop would be insufficent evidence of OU, unless the device were to be made to run much longer than the stored energy in the magnet. A battery and a resistor are the simplest form of "OU" by this criteria. And my flashlight works "closed loop" for a couple hours at least (smile). Thanks for the brief description of your experiment. It sounds a lot like what you are describing is eddy currents. Are you seeing something more that would suggest otherwise? I suspect that if you went to a superconductor for a disk you'd see that "Something" in all it's glory (grin). When you say it's visible on the scope, are you looking at a signal in the drive coils after cessation of drive power, or actually probing the disk in some fashion?

I know very little about Bearden et al but did read the latest patent. The permanent magnet is replaced periodically. What is that period? You would be required to insert such language in order to obtain a US patent. The disc experiment was two discs, one of copper and the other alum. Disc A (copper) had 8 fets controlled by a micro to allow variable ramp up time and phasing. The current is not pulsed but rather switched similar to a phased motor. The "segments" overlap by n microseconds. Simulated speeds of 100,000 rpm may be obtained. The PM is arranged Faraday style. What is observed after removing power is of interest. "Something" (viewed with a scope)"winds down" and syncs up periodically. Odd that Disc B (alum) did not exhibit the effect. The point is possibly the MEG and its variants have coupled with this background 'field'. Even if it is a battery effect, there could be commercial value.

I think there are some interesting comments which may be of interest to some here! Jon F Dear Dave, We know from hard personal experience with four other COP>1.0 systems that were legitimate but fell by the wayside, that at this stage one must single-mindedly focus on getting the large financial partner and funding required to set up the proper physics lab (not just an electrodynamics lab) to finish the project. If we split our efforts all over the map, or if we allow control of it to pass into other hands just to get some bucks, then the MEG will die right here in front of the required funding cliff (some $29 million). If the control passes, it will simply be suppressed like many others have been. The absolute kiss of death is to get involved in all sorts of publicity and actions all over the map that deviate from the technical objective. That simply triggers every kind of critter that ever crawled out from under a rock, all over us. If enough critters are after you and all over you, eventually one or more will get in there and bite you with a poison fang, with high probability. So we will not do that. We are trying to deal with principals and major investment groups only, and then only with proper do diligence on both sides. We want them to check us out just as rigorously as we check them out. And we do and they do. That said, we are very sympathetic to what Steve Greer is doing, and supportive of it, and we fervently wish for his resounding success. He is an excellent person, well-seasoned and knowledgeable, highly dedicated, and a real mover and shaker on the world scene. Steve has many contacts, including with other COP>1.0 systems and inventors. The MEG is not the only game in town by any means. Steve is aware of several other legitimate systems, and is probably already working with those systems and their inventors. We accent again that there are other legitimate COP>1.0 systems other than the MEG, and Steve is aware of them and their statuses. All of them that I am personally aware of, also are at that funding cliff where they require substantial funding to go further and get to a producible device ready for production and marketing. The only way we can hope to succeed is keep focused on the final MEG research goal, with single-minded purpose. The situation on the MEG is as follows: The rights to the MEG are assigned to Magnetic Energy Ltd., whose CEO is Dr. James L. Kenny. Dr. Kenny --- not Tom Bearden --- is in charge of all matters with respect to the MEG, as approved by the Board of Directors. He is also one of the principal inventors of the MEG. The course of actions taken on the MEG is determined by Dr. Kenny and the Board of Directors, not by Tom Bearden as an individual. That is exactly as it should be. Incidentally, the acronym "MEG" was deliberately chosen so as to be named after Dr. Kenny's daughter. Had it not been for Lee's dogged persistence over several arduous years, there would not be a MEG today. What we have at present is a set of successful MEG lab experiment apparatuses. They are not by any means full-bore power systems ready to produce, sell, and power one's house, etc. Our first patent (with the simple material) has just issued. A second patent (with the more complex material) has been filed, as has a continuance on the first patent. We still have two additional patents to prepare and file. With that patent status, notice how extraordinarily sensitive we have to be with respect to public demonstrations. The patent laws determine what we can and cannot do at this stage, not public opinion. Else a single demonstration could unwittingly lose all the remainder of one's patent rights. The proper people to call that kind of shot are our excellent and long-suffering patent attorneys. And they are calling it precisely the way we are playing it. In the MEG, there are four unusual areas of physics involved, in addition to the standard electrical engineering aspects. Consequently, to ramp up the MEG to production size units, considerable research and development is required, which includes those unusual areas of physics (such as geometric phase and nonlinear oscillation control theory) also involved. It will require considerable funding to set up a proper lab in both the PHYSICS aspects and the electromagnetic aspects and finish the MEG. It isn't just electronics and electromagnetics equipment and staff that are required; that part is a piece of cake. It is the PHYSICS equipment, instruments, and staff that are required that are so expensive and critical. The MEG is a highly nonlinear unit, and there is no such thing as a "linear scale-up" factor for it, nor a linear functioning for it. It is also a nonlinear oscillation device, and ordinary linear oscillation theory does not hold. Neither does ordinary control theory. It is not a simple electromagnetics problem; that part of it we can easily handle. It's those four specialized areas of physics where the hard work really has to be done --- with VERY expensive instrumentation and technicians --- and it must be done if we are to evolve it to a practical and production unit. We are in serious negotiations with several major financial groups at present, in an effort to raise the funding for the lab and final development of the MEG to systems ready for mass production. All our guys are seasoned and experienced aerospace engineers, and we have been in all sorts of space and defense programs, systems, projects, simulations, etc. We know the technical development game inside out; our careers have been and are based on it and all its aspects. To even build a decent engineering model and simulation of the highly nonlinear MEG involving multidisciplinary functions is a formidable (but doable) undertaking; our guys have done exactly such projects in ballistic missile defense, various missile systems, space defense, NASA space hardware and systems, electronic warfare, directed energy weapons, ABM defense, etc. on a variety of projects. We have indeed developed and managed all the various aspects of development of just such highly nonlinear, multi-disciplined models and simulations. So we know what is required, what must be done, how to do it, and how much it will cost on a "bare bones" program. Bare bones for the MEG development and finishing is $29 million. There are partial programs that can be done for less, but that is what the finishing program costs. So our efforts are concentrated exclusively on obtaining a major financial partner, so we can set up the necessary physics and electrodynamics lab and staff with alacrity, and also obtain the services of four quite rare and very expensive specialists, one required in each of those special physics disciplines. We have some very hard but satisfying physics work to do, not publicity work and not just electrodynamics work. If we deviate from that path, then like so many others the MEG will simply wash away like a wave on the beach, just as has every other legitimate COP>1.0 system when it reached that "sheer cliff" of the major funding needed for the extraordinary nonlinear research to finish it and go from lab experiment devices to production units. Sadly, most of the folks managing the COP>1.0 systems that reached that cliff did not fully appreciate the formidable technical problems they faced, nor were they skilled enough to recognize the full nature of the beast and what exactly was required to finish it. We intend to do everything in our power to see that such does not happen to the MEG, if it is humanly possible to prevent it. If we succeed, we succeed. If we fail, we fail --- but we will have given it our very best shot.

This letter is proof that he knows nothing about business or the history of business. If Bill Gates had used the methods described here, he would still be screwing around with paper tape, trying to write his first BASIC interpreter. This letter is hogwash from beginning to end. Bearden causes endless problems for himself, and then blames them all on other people. He imagines an invisible, nonexistent conspiracy suppresses "other legitimate COP>1.0 systems." There are only two legitimate systems: cold fusion, and (probably) the Griggs gadget. Neither has been suppressed! Both were replicated and independently tested when they were first revealed. (Griggs replicated Schaffer.) You can find tons of published proof that CF is real. Yes, it was attacked, and funding was been cut off, but after 1990 there was no question it was real. Bearden, Mills, Correa and the other fringe inventors *must* go through the normal, scientific process of replication if they want recognition, or funding. They do not get a free pass. Why is this so difficult for them to understand?!? The rule applies equally and impartially to all claims, including conventional ones about improved turbines, PVs and what-have-you. When you hide your invention, and refuse to allow demonstrations and replications, you will be dismissed as a flake and you have no right to complain about it. Perhaps some ignorant fool will give Bearden the $29 million, but no ordinary investor or venture capitalist would risk it. There is no point! Bearden can eliminate the risk in a few months by taking conventional steps to ensure replication. This reminds me of one of the earliest tests of a parachute, conducted in late 1700s in England. Some guy invented a parachute shaped like a giant umbrella. He planned to jump about 1000 feet from a hot air balloon. His friends pleaded with him to attach a weight to the parachute and drop it in an unmanned test, but he insisted on using it himself instead, the first time it was dropped. The parachute was too small and unstable, and he was killed. He took a senseless risk that could have been avoided at no inconvenience. The poor man obviously had no clue how the experimental method works, or what purpose it serves. Perhaps there were many people like that 200 years ago, but it is shocking that Bearden -- who supposedly has a scientific background and who spouts technical jargon -- would be as ignorant as that poor suicidal idiot was.

I'd have to imagine it would be a remarkable job to be an underling assigned to do "proper due dilligence" on Mr. Bearden. My favorite period of Bearden was the late 80's, when the cold war was raging and Bearden was spotting Bolsheviks in the bathroom. The Tesla society used to sell his videos, they give real insight into the thinking of the time... Check out a copy of Fer-de-lance, which besides the usual collection of mind control machines and tesla scalar howitzers contained a remarkable chapter on Zarg (sp?), the evil overlord collective unconscious God which when roused from slumber would destroy the world etc etc. Oddly, this groovy and cool chapter didn't make it to the website, such a shame. But you long-time fringe watchers know exactly what I'm talking about... Anyway, I apologize if this sounds like I'm beating on the man. I think Tom honestly means well, and it is true that there is in fact no such thing as bad publicity. But still, a lot of interesting ideas get the Bearden treatment and then everyone steers clear, this IS a bad thing IMHO. And I'd have to imagine that these issues would come up in the normal course of writing that 30 million dollar check. K.

I said in the message "yes, it was attacked, and funding was been cut off." That is one form of suppression, of course. But Bearden describes suppression which supposedly results in knowledge of the O/U device being lost. He says the proof that it is real vanishes, or the proof is never published or confirmed in the first place, for reasons he does not go into. That never happens. The truth about CF is accessible to anyone. Do a search for "cold fusion" on Google and you will turn up www.infinite-energy.com, Ed Storms' page the ICCF proceedings and much else. The "vast majority of scientists" have not done this, but they could do it any time. In contrast, independent proof that the Bearden device exists and that it has been replicated has not been published anywhere, on paper or on the web. Not as far as I know anyway, except perhaps in Naudin's web site. That is a start, but it is not enough. Bearden has had many years to ensure proper, independent replications. Many people here & elsewhere would be willing to cooperate and perform a replication. There is no reason why he should have a credibility problems, and nothing to prevent him from doing normal, legitimate, conventional science like anyone else does. It would not jeopardize his business prospects. People who do normal science have often been granted patents and they have successfully protected intellectual property, and become very wealthy. The "sheer cliff" he describes that has supposedly stopped other O/U systems -- and magically buried all experimental proof that they once existed -- is nonsense. No such cliff exists or can exist in a free society. Especially not nowadays, with the Internet. All knowledge of CF may eventually be lost, but it will take decades, and Bearden is talking about devices that supposedly existed a few years ago, or that still exist! Dozens of stories of O/U devices are documented in books like "The Search for Free Energy," and on the web. The information about "N machines" the Moray gadget, the Thesta-Distatica and the others has not been lost. Yet not one of these devices has even a shred of credible evidence. If one existed some time in the last 100 years, it would have been simple to produce ordinary, credible evidence. All that has been published are nonsensical reports written in double-talk that evades the obvious issues, such as self sustaining performance, plus a bunch of crazy theories written in terminology that makes no sense to trained scientists -- like the Correa stuff. At least Mills uses terms the most people understand, and he talks about particles that everyone agrees do exist. If cold fusion had no better evidence than this, I would not believe a word of it. >And the Griggs OU cavitating device has been supressed as OU by the >owners. Not really. They don't want to talk about it, but if you or someone else would care to perform a study, and you have the funding, they would be happy to cooperate.

The MEG is not TB's invention. He says so on his web site. I think I recognize at least two of the four other PhD's who hold the patent. All are from Huntsville. I have asked a friend who once worked for NASA to check on this. Ning Li lived in Huntsville before she got disgusted enough to return to China.

Park Friday, 3 May 02 Washington, DC 1. SECRECY: PENTAGON SEEKS TO CONTROL UNCLASSIFIED PUBLICATION. As early as last December, the White House sought to restrict the publication of unclassified information it deemed of potential use to enemies(WN 22 Feb 02). Now, the Pentagon is on the verge of barring scientists from disclosing results of any DOD funded research, even if the information is basic and unclassified, unless they apply for and are granted specific authorization. The new regulations are currently undergoing final review. The APS opposes any impediment to the free exchange of unclassified scientific information: http://www.aps.org/statements/83.2.html 2. FREE ENERGY: PERPETUAL-MOTION HUCKSTER INDICTED IN KENTUCKY. Last Friday, Dennis Lee and his various screwball companies were barred from conducting business in Kentucky (WN 7 Sep 01). By Monday, a grand jury had indicted Lee on consumer-fraud charges. Each of the multiple felony counts could net him five to ten in the can. Other states are said to be lining up to file their own charges. Lee takes an old fashioned approach to free-energy scams, resurrecting failed perpetual-motion ideas from a bygone era, that still have the power to bamboozle the scientifically unsophisticated. He doesn't shy away from the term "perpetual motion," and doesn't bother with applying for patents. What he sells are dealerships. Delivery is just around the corner. 3. VACUUM ENERGY: HOW DO YOU PATENT A PERPETUAL-MOTION MACHINE? First, you never call it a "perpetual-motion machine." It has always been the policy of the Patent and Trademark Office to deny patents for perpetual-motion devices. So when the PTO denied a patent to Joe Newman for an "energy machine" that generated more energy than it took to run it, he sued the PTO claiming it was not perpetual motion. The energy, he said, came from conversion of mass according to Einstein's equation; his machine was slowly devouring its copper wires and iron cores. Newman lost, but his real invention was to invoke new physics to explain where the energy comes from. The new physics of choice these days is the zero-point energy of the vacuum. Thus, patent 6,362,718 (WN 5 Apr 02) is for a "motionless electromagnetic generator" that taps the energy of "longitudinal electromagnetic waves that exist in almost infinite abundance in the vacuum of space." Or to put it another way "energy is conserved in the fourth dimension, time." 4. MARS: ACADEMY REPORT SAYS IT MAY BE A DANGEROUS PLACE. Six months ago, a National Academy report, "Safe Passage," made it clear that we don't know how to get to Mars alive (WN 7 Dec 01). A new report, "Safe on Mars," says we're not out of the soup when we get there. Robotic sampling or sample-return is needed to determine the presence and extent of any harmful organisms or compounds. On the other hand, it's pretty spooky down here too. THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND and THE AMERICAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY Opinions are the author's and are not necessarily shared by the University or the American Physical Society, but they should be.

Oh man, am I glad that the farmers and the shopkeepers don't think that way. When I think about all the projects that I've slaved on that were canceled or killed by lousy management or corporate buyouts or because the company I worked for lost money somewhere else, I don't reckon I've ever contributed anything to society. The only project I've worked on that they ever let go to completion was on corporate security, so that some corporation or some goverment could keep its secrets better. And my wife, she sells these platform shoes, you know, the ones that if your ankle gives in you're crippled for life, so I don't think she contributes to society either. But when she and I go to a supermarket or a doctor, they don't ask us if we've contributed to society, they just make sure we can pay the bill, and off we walk with our milk and our Twinkies and our prescriptions. What keeps us alive is that we can pay for what we need. Isn't it the same for the Corraes? Or do they live from charity? I don't know anything about how they live, maybe with them it's different and they don't pay for what they get. That would be nice, I have to say, I would go for that. How does one do it? Also, it seems like you are saying that if I am a scientist and work a corporation and get paid and humanity never benefits from it, that's fine. But if I quit and start doing my own research, with my own hard-earned money, then suddenly I shouldn't be permitted to just do happily what I want, because now suddenly I owe something to humanity. So If now I discover something, I have a duty to make it available to all the people out there who are starving for whatever research it is that I do with my own hard-earned money. And they are starving, but even though they are starving they don't care to do the work it takes to read my papers and my patents, so I have an obligation of giving it to them in a way that doesn't ask them to lift a finger. All this I am supposed to do using my own hard-earned money, or else I am a depraved monster. This is the most fundamental lesson of life? Pretty weird, if you ask me. And then to whom exactly am I supposed to give my technology? It's a tough call, man, let me tell you. You say to humanity, but who is this? AT&T? The power companies? The same corporation that I quit working for, where I didn't contribute anything to society? Some corrupt African goverment? A beggar in the street? Or maybe you mean a charity, maybe United Way or the Pope? Boy, I wouldn't know what to do. I might just end up dying as a depraved monster. But you wouldn't be in any such danger, you sound like you have it all figured out. By the way, it is interesting you say they use weird language, I read all their monographs and they seemed very well written. I didn't have any trouble with the language, they use normal words like gravity, work, energy, mass, electricity, magnetism, capacitance. Which monographs did you find were weirly written and the other people you talked to?

Even very high anisotropy, high permanence magnets will in the course of time wear out. NbFeB will wear out naturally in 1100 years or so, and quicker if exposed to things (heat, external EM fields) which weaken it. Over time, then, the overall performance of the MEG must slightly drop. Ever play with some small Nd magnets a lot? The permanence drops slightly - not much but noticeably - when for example they've been snapped together a lot (and haven't yet broken ;) Very slightly radioisotope-laced material used in the making of the magnets, as has been discussed to some degree on one of the lists recently, allows a modest improvement in field strength. Whether this adversely affects permanence, I don't know. Anyone care to comment?

Quite to the contrary, they stand to make about 30 million from the patent. I didn't understand this sort of thing either until I spent some time down on Wall St. Despite what Jed says, I think they're pursuing a fine and effective business model. Here's the full quote from the patent. ***************************************** Regarding thermodynamic considerations, it is noted that, when the electromagnetic generator 10 is operating, it is an open system not in thermodynamic equilibrium. The system receives static energy from the magnetic flux of the permanent magnet. Because the electromagnetic generator 10 is self-switched without an additional energy input, the thermodynamic operation of the system is an open dissipative system, receiving, collecting, and dissipating energy from its environment; in this case, from the magnetic flux stored within the permanent magnet. Continued operation of the electromagnetic generator 10 causes demagnetization of the permanent magnet. The use of a magnetic material including rare earth elements, such as a samarium cobalt material or a material including iron, neodymium, and boron is preferable within the present invention, since such a magnetic material has a relatively long life in this application. Thus, an electromagnetic generator operating in accordance with the present invention should be considered not as a perpetual motion machine, but rather as a system in which flux radiated from a permanent magnet is converted into electricity, which is used both to power the apparatus and to power an external load. This is analogous to a system including a nuclear reactor, in which a number of fuel rods radiate energy which is used to keep the chain reaction going and to heat water for the generation of electricity to drive external loads. ********************************************** K. -----Original Message----- From: Robin van Spaandonk [mailto:rvanspaa bigpond.net.au] Sent: Sunday, May 05, 2002 4:06 AM To: vortex-l eskimo.com Subject: Re: magnetics In reply to Keith Nagel's message of Fri, 3 May 2002 23:23:12 -0400: Hi, [snip] >Hi Robin. > >Yes, I agree that the device as described would be >not much competition for the dry cell market.

Both Samarium and Neodymium contain slightly radioactive isotopes. Suppose that their use in such a device resulted in an increase in the decay rate, and resulted in efficient conversion of the nuclear energy into electrical energy.

The magnetic flux is trapped inside the core, which is carefully chosen to have a small, square, hysteresis loop and negligible eddy current losses. As I read his explanation, the orientation of the control fields and their windings have much to do with the oritnetation of the Poynting flow. The structure separates the magnetic flux and the Poynting flow. > > >10 is self-switched without an additional energy input, > >the thermodynamic operation of the system is an open dissipative > >system, receiving, collecting, and dissipating energy from its > >environment; "!!" indeed. The "environment" is the universe, so it is not a "perpetual motion" device. All those nice, slippery words keep it from being a "perpetual motion" machine, including the words about demagnetixing the magnet. So it qualifies for a patent. Peformance data are included, which look a lot like the curves that Naudin publishes on his website. > > !! > > >in this case, from the magnetic flux stored > >within the permanent magnet. Not necessarily, if you believe in Poynting flows. The magnetic fluz generated by the magnet is "merely" switched form one output coil to the other. However, if the flux to one coil is opposed by a control coil, the effective reluctance of the magnetic circuit increases, at least temporarily, so the magnet experiences some demagnetizing effect. This is common in permanent magnet motors, but once the the effect is "experienced", further cycles do not further demagnetize the magnet. Once MEG is started, the flux switches back and forth, generating voltage in the output coils. The flux is pulsed, so it is useful to operate at a self-resonant point so as to get a near sinewave output. The core B-H curve shows a high permeability for small values of H and very abrupt saturation. It doesn't take much H from the control coil to push the flux to the opposing coil: it is a magneitc amplifier. > ?? > > >Continued operation of the > >electromagnetic generator 10 causes demagnetization of the > >permanent magnet.

Mike C. Writes: >You mean investors. Look at Naudin's site. It apparently works. How >sophisticated does one have to be to find the essential flaw and prove that >it doesn't? Apparently, pretty sophisticated. On the other hand, if you look through the archive you'll see plenty of reasonable criticism. I think it's kind of silly to kibbitz though, without the machine in front of me I can't do the kinds of tests necessary. One example of the kind of problem that causes me to wonder is shown in the diagram MEGv2.1 test R21-1 which shows JLN taking the RMS of the power waveform to come up with a figure for output power. He shows a nice 7.5 to 1 gain in power, pretty convincing huh????? Myself and another gentleman here on Vortex pointed out that the proper technique is to take the average of the power wave. When I wrote this to JLN, he replied that he was replicating Bearden and sure enough in Fig 18 and 19 in Tom's paper, he shows scope shots with the same error. Now it's understandable that Jean Louis would do this, he's learning the art of measurement and he's replicating "the experts". But jeeze, with 4 PhD's on the team you might think someone at MEL understands the difference between RMS and average??? Big red flags should be popping up here folks. Later, Jean uses the correct method, see for example the MEG3.0 test run 2. Now his ratio reduces to 3 to 1. Hmmmm... We should probably keep looking, yes? Due dilligence. Ultimately, what "sophisticated" people will say is, "Measurement is great for the measurer, but we need to see a closed loop system". So we're waiting for this. K.

They will show what they've shown to all of us, which convinced so many people here, or so I gather from the discussion. MEL's business method has been most excellent by my estimation, that part of this project impresses me a lot! It's made it well worth the time to follow the progress. I like some of the ideas expressed in the patent, and I wish Dr. Kenny the best of luck in getting his funding. I'd like to read more of what he has to say about the MEG. Tom's stuff is promotional material and says things very different from the little information we have from the inventor. I feel the best approach is to go to the source.

In that case, simply substituting another chemistry of magnet would be sufficient to test. If you're going to posit some conversion of mass to energy, why not any of the nuclei?

All phases are designated to produce voltage rise by resonanace, two aditional interphasings are used to increase resaonance, and only a third phase is designated to send actual current through water cell. One phase then interacts at resonance to produce its electric field at right angles to current. The next phase at resonance also produces a magnetic field at right angles to cuurent conduction: where these things are made possible by the fact that each vessel of resonance uses the same space at right angles for expresssion. The electric field would normally be weak, but the water medium enhances this 40 times, the magnetic field would also be weak, but the 20,000 air core turns of the coil compensates, and even additonal mesures are made to ensure the total efficiency of delivery, where then only the meager input from the third phase of the ac converted to DC by field rectification alone enables these great future possibilities.

I am reading the second section of Cyril Davson's Physics of the Primary State of Matter. This covers the nature of life. In previous threads we have discussed spontaneous organization of systems. I just came across this. This vesicular formation, to which Leue first drew attention when he dropped a fragment of fused calcium chloride into a saturated solution of potassium carbonate or tri-basic potassium phosphate, marks the dawn of sex. Further condensation of colloid bodies generated life, which can be studied at it's inception in the non-nucleated algae; such environmental stimuli as light, heat, moisture, ect. upon protoplasm, which is colloid material in an aqueous medium, cause an unequal distribution of water and all it holds in solution. The initial action is one of dehydration of a certain cell area of the cell which results in hydration of another area.

Both Samarium and Neodymium contain a percentage of long lived radioisotope in nature. Sm147 = 14.97%, Sm148 = 11.24% (of natural Sm) Nd144 = 23.85% of natural Nd. All I had in mind was a stimulated decay of these nuclei, with a reaction force against the stimulus, such that excess energy manifests in the stimulating circuit. There is some precedent for this type of reaction in the Hubbard motor, and Paul Brown's patent US4835433. Furthermore, it has been suggested that both Sm and Nd are such good magnet materials, precisely because they are slightly radioactive. If so, then stimulating the decay of the radioactive nuclei would hasten the demise of the magnet, perhaps giving rise to Bearden's comment about the magnets losing power after some time, and needing to be replaced. Furthermore, this would indeed fulfill the definition of a battery, as all the energy is already in the system, in the form of nuclear energy.

In other words, the Faraday cage intercepts all wavelengths of RF energy from the surroundings and heats up, and this heat drives the Stirling engine. It is not clear to me how much energy it takes to drives the Stirling engine, but in any case, the temperature difference above the box was 1 or 2 degrees C, which indicates a considerable amount of energy. This hypothesis sounds implausible to me. As far as I know, in most locations in the U.S. there is only a tiny amount of ambient RF energy. People living next door to a radio station in Long Island hear the broadcasts coming from the radiators, toasters, telephones and answering machines. The signal blankets the spectrum. They are probably exposed to a lot more RF than the rest of us, but I've ever heard their screened porches get hot. I aways assumed that all RF amounts to a milliwatts per square meter at most, which is not enough to drive a Stirling engine on an 8" x 12" Faraday cage. Can anyone estimate this? Does anyone know of a published estimate? Does anyone have a meter handy? I did a quick search, but I do not know the right terminology, or much about this subject. I came up with a statement from a British study on cell phone towers: "Studies have found that exposures at ground level near single base stations have generally been in the region of 10 milliwatts per square meter (mWm-2)" http://www.show.scot.nhs.uk/scieh/environmental/enviropdf/Mobiles%20phones.pdf I assume there is far more RF oomph at the base of tower than there would be in a house a kilometer away.

I'm afraid that dropping a fragment of fused calcium chloride into a saturated solution of potassium carbonate or tri-basic potassium phosphate has nothing to do with sex, except as a simple analogy. Saturated solutions are unstable with respect to forming the solid phase and can be caused to form the solid many different ways. In addition, such solutions can obviously not reproduce themselves, the goal of sex. The idea that life resulted from a similar condensation of colloid bodies is simple minded beyond belief. This is an idea more consistent with the 1800 century before the concept of genes was introduced. I suggest you seek out some more modern reading material, Tom.

Consider a case where the magnet material is bent into a closed torroid shape. Given that all of the flux is contained inside the torroid, at remanence H will be zero.

Why not? At least your idea posits a source of energy, which to my mind makes a lot more sense than just waving the hands and saying it comes out of the vacuum. Of course the key is indentifying how it is that the energy in the decay of the material couples to the field. And how emission is stimulated.

Not really. You probably come close to the max at times with your office near the PDK airport. > Does anyone happen to know what the normal background level is, > outdoors and in houses. There is really no such thing. The level of RF varies with frequency and intensity over many decades of levels. You can experience one level and move 100 feet away and find the level has changed 1000 fold, especially in urban areas. The only time I ever actually "felt" it was when I was doing a building top survey on the former North Tower of the WTC. We were limited to 15 minutes on the roof due to the intense levels. Think of all the sources, your home wiring, satellites, communication towers with highly directional antennae, and your cell phone, to name a few. That's why I sent you to NIH. These are the max. levels. Note: allowable levels of non-ionizing radiation in the former Soviet Union were 30 dB (1000 x) below the power levels we considered safe in the US.

I'm afraid my approach was not based upon anything near so sophisticated. It just goes like this. Strong magnets have a high energy product, and non-magnets have none. Consequently one might assume that when a strong magnet loses it's magnetism, any energy delivered comes from the energy product (at least as long as one assumes that the magnet is behaving like a battery). My gut feeling also says that this is on the same order of magnitude as the amount of energy that went into magnetising the magnet in the first place (conservation of energy). [snip] >to the field.

Long distance transmission can be accomplished with surprisingly low power if bandwidth is sacrificed and the transmission rate is low, by using carefully matched high-Q crystal filters that exclude all signals but the one frequency transmitted. The opposite end is again to use low power but to modulate the signal with a pseudo-noise stream generated by a random number generator whose code is known to the receiver. Once the generator and receiver are synchronized, the receiver performs on-the-fly autocorrelation on the noise stream and extracts the signal. Without the code, the transmission just appears as more background noise to any narrow band receiver. Tesla is the true inventor of radio, acknowledged by a fundamental patent issued by USPO in the mid-30's after a long battle. Tesla's patent has all the essential elements and predates Marconi's work. Marconi was as skillful a publicist as Tesla and in many cases used Tesla devices in his transmissions. The transoceanic transmission was a good publicity stunt, but Tesla had accomplished wireless transmission years before that at about 5 kHz, and later in the tens of kHz. Tesla probably realized the advantages of high frequency AC earlier and more clearly than any of his contemporaries and built elegant high frequency, high power AC generators whose design clearly shows that he knew what he was doing and did it very well. The Tesla coil is better known, but it, too, is elegant in its design.

He forgot that wind power is not averaged out over the landscape. It is concentrated in a few geographical areas, like water flowing in rivers. Interesting quote: "Unfortunately the present nuclear power technology, essentially based on Light Water Reactors (LWR) operated mostly on enriched Uranium and thermal neutrons, is far from such an idealised expectation. Only the 235U (0.71%) of natural Uranium is directly fissile, of which about 60% is extracted by enrichment. Therefore only about h = 0.4% of the potential energy contained in the natural Uranium is energetically used. For instance in order to produce 1 GWe x 30 years ~6.1 TWh one has to handle 4.50 x 10E7 ton of high content Uranium ores (2000 ppm), to be compared with 3.21 x 10E8 ton of coal mining for a Coal fired plant. The conclusion is that most of the "magic" nuclear factor of 3 x 10E6 of nuclear energy is, as of today, almost wiped out." - Jed From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Wed May 8 14:21:00 2002 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id OAA21011; Wed, 8 May 2002 14:18:25 -0700 Resent-Date: Wed, 8 May 2002 14:18:25 -0700 From: Robin van Spaandonk To: vortex-l eskimo.com Subject: Re: What is normal ambient RF power?

Tesla researched both information and energy transmission by pulses rather than continuous waves. He specifically said it was not Herzian. Perhaps the real reason this latest wide band technology is as efficient as it appears to be, is because there is an extra effect thrown in that no one is aware of yet, which is specifically related to pulse technology.

If you do not leave room to receive the sidebands on your receiver you will not be able to decode the modulation properly. Early on we found that we can transmit only the sidebands (DSBSC) or even only one sideband (SSB) and reproduce the signal on the other side. These signals are also non Hertzian.

These new methods are all EM. By "non Hertzian" we (engineers) are saying that there is no specific definable frequency. A birst of data may contain a tremendos spread of spectrial content but... There is no carrier, No frequency, nothing otherwise detectable. If you look on a spectrum analizer it apears as a momentary rise in the noise floor. Usually only a couple of db and less then the natural variations. If you did not know that you where transmiting you would not even notice. ===== Charles Ford KC5-OWZ cjford1 yahoo.com cjford1 swbell.net __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Monnday morning(May 20)will start with Fleischmann's talk (1960's-1980's-1989--) followed by De Ninno's experimental justification and Prof. Jiudice's theory, Ararta's work (Loading Ratio greater than 3 in Sonoimplantation) in parallel with Mckubre's experiments and Chubb's explanation; Dr. Passell's work for Li-7/Li-6 anomalous ratio. Tuesday morning Prof. Miley , Dr. Case, Dr. Miles and Li shall talk about the reproducible "excess heat"...... The nuclear nature of LENR and the reproducibility will be supported by more compelling evidences. Dr.Taleyarkhan of ORNL sent us his best wishes for a very successful conference. He would have liked to provide a lecture if we had sent him the invitation 25 days earlier. The local tours are calling for registration in the New "LOCAL TOUR" page of the Website :http://iccf9.global.tsinghua.edu.cn. It was designed to avoid any duplication with the Great Wall Tour on Wednesday(May 22). It also provides the time for shopping in the old cultural sites and the newly developed "silk road" on Friday. If you need the telephone number and FAX number for your family before your leaving, you may use my telephone number and FAX number(86-10-6278-4343) until you enter your room in the Tsinghua International Convention Center(i.e. the Hotel).This number works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and have an answering machine service. If your flight arrives at Beijing late in the evening, please tell us in advance. We will make special effort to assist you although this Hotel is supposed to receive guests 24 hours a day. . . .

Park Friday, 10 May 02 Washington, DC 1. SECRECY: VISAS TO STUDY "SENSITIVE" TOPICS WILL BE SCREENED. It doesn't take a nuclear physicist to light the fuse on a shoe bomb, but nevertheless, after 9/11 the State Department updated its list of areas of study that are regarded as "sensitive." The White House proposed to deny student visas in any of the 16 areas on the list. That got the attention of the academic community, which explained just how dependent the U.S. scientific enterprise is on foreign scientific talent. The administration backed down a bit, announcing on Tuesday that a presidential directive will create IPASS, the Interagency Panel for Science and Security, which will evaluate visa applications based on the nationality of the student, the area of study, and the nature of any research being conducted at the institution. According to OSTP director John Marburger, IPASS will rely heavily on information from the intelligence agencies. Using terrorism as a justification, the dissemination of unclassified information is being restricted. In December, certain biology journals were pressured to withhold information (WN 22 Feb 02). Last week we reported on a Pentagon plan to control unclassified information (WN 3 May 02). 2. NSF: BILL INTRODUCED TO DOUBLE THE BUDGET IN FIVE YEARS. The National Science Foundation Authorization Act of 2002 (H.R.4664), would provide a 15 percent increase in the NSF budget next year and put it on track for doubling in five years. This is a major achievement, made possible by the cooperation of the academic and industrial communities. The bill has a long way to go, and it is only an authorization. Any money must still be appropriated. Nevertheless, it's an essential first step and appears to have strong support in the House. The doubling of the NIH budget, which is expected to be completed this year, began the same way. 3. YUCCA MOUNTAIN: HOUSE BACKS THE NUCLEAR WASTE REPOSITORY. The vote was an overwhelming 306-117. The debate carefully avoided logic on both sides. When opponents warned of the catastrophic consequences of possible leaks, Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX), who is a supporter, responded, "We're all going to die." It was perhaps the only scientifically defensible statement of the day, but it failed to reassure anyone. It won't be that easy in the Senate. 4. DEPRESSED? MAYBE YOU SHOULD TRY AN M&M. According to a story in the Washington Post this week, a new analysis found that in the majority of trials conducted by drug companies, sugar pills did as well, or better, than antidepressants such as Prozac, Paxil and Zoloft. This is not to say the antidepressants didn't work, they did, but so did placebos. In fact, brain imaging showed the placebos affected the same areas of the brain as the prescription antidepressants. This may be telling us that if the problem is in your head, the cure is probably in the same place. THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND and THE AMERICAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY Opinions are the authors and are not necessarily shared by the University or the American Physical Society, but they should be.

I imagine as the technology begins to become exploited you will experience loss of performance just as the range of a cordless phone is less in an apartment complex then in an open field. Anyway. It is all EM. You might also note the use of conventional wide band antennas.

Science Fiction stories are as realistic as anything in the alt-sciences, the only difference is that the author doesn't say "this really happened." We should never say "there HAS to be a grain of truth to this" just because a story is large and complicated. Some people swear that the Philadelphia Experiment was a lie; that it was just some disinformation made up by the military to hide the Manhattan Project. On the other hand, Vassilatos has some very interesting Philadelphia Experiment stuff in his recent 1999 book LOST SCIENCE. He claims that the original effect was discovered when metal tools near a gigantic WWII industrial welder started vanishing. The welder employed cap-discharge. I've never heard this part of the story before. The military filmed the tools vanishing, but they had convinced themselves that the tools were vaporizing. But they couldn't find any metal vapor. He says that there were optical effects too: a zone of "blackness" during the pulse. He also says that TT Brown was pulled in on the project and clued them in on the "space warp" side of things, which made them start looking at weaponization (driving whole cities insane, etc.) Brown supposedly talked them around to using it for invisibility instead of killing. See pp253-269 in "Lost Science." I tracked down the book in the local New Age bookstore because it also has stuff on Tesla. Lost Science, 1999 http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0945685254/ The most interesting part was Vassilatos' claim that the effect only appears for DC pulses! ...and also that it can be eliminated by a second pulse with the current reversed. THAT'S IT! That's the perfect explanation for why nobody stumbles across these things while playing with cap-discharge: capacitors normally give out a ringing AC wave. To get a single DC pulse, either you need a high-speed quench circuit to turn off the spark gap after the first cycle of current, or you need a gigantic series resistor which damps the ringing (but which isn't destroyed by the immense pulse.) Electrolytic caps might have enough internal resistance to give DC pulses. Below is a hobbyist who may actually have stumbled across the desktop version of Project Rainbow. He even mentions Vassilatos' claimed effect where a reversed pulse will cancel out the spacewarp and "flip" the metal object back into reality again. Vanishing Paperclip http://amasci.com/weird/unusual/exper.html#clip PS, if the capacitor stack in "Electric Rocket" is actually a Brown Cellular Gravitator, then we need to drive it with single DC pulses, NOT with DC high voltage and NOT with a normal (ringing) cap discharge.

A speculative appraisal of recent Hubble and Chandra observations Would the tragic death of 3 billion (with a "b") humans, say - in an early decade of the 21st century, qualify as fulfillment of biblical prophesy, a "millennium event"? Impossible! you say? Well, consider that within recent world history, we could have already witnessed just such a disaster. To be more precise, there occurred rather recently a catastrophe of corresponding magnitude in terms of percentage loss of human life. For some reason, both present day evangelists (when prophesizing millennium) and many scientists as well, either minimize that particular event's importance, or are ignorant of its enormity. Alarmingly, this oversight may serve to deprive us of some degree of preparation, inasmuch as that prior event may be cyclical and therefore prophetic in its own right. The Dark Ages, that horrible period beginning in 536 A.D., was not just a time of barbarism, crop failures, disease, cultural stagnation, and the disintegration of order : according to experts, within ten years from its inception half of the world's population perished. Half of today's world population is... well, you know the numbers. Now fast forward your mental projector to the Southern Hemisphere. There is a super-massive star called Eta Carinae in the Carina Constellation that is one of the most enigmatic and potentially dangerous objects in our galaxy. It is located away from our view to the south, but that doesn't necessarily make North America safe. Although it is currently the brightest and most massive stellar object in our galaxy, putting out more radiation than five million suns, it could possibly have already shed a third of its mass some 1500 years ago. And just 40 years ago it was invisible to the naked eye. That's right, invisible! Eta Carinae is a singularity, a one-of-a kind that has waxed and waned on a cycle that may have some regularity. 150 years ago, it once again flared up - almost like a supernova explosion, but the star survived, maybe even grew. The cycle seems to involve some type of recurring instability we just haven't figured out yet - but EC is NOT a supernova and is perhaps too large to even become one. Between 1837 and 1856 it increased dramatically in apparent brightness to become the brightest star in the sky from our viewpoint except for Sirius, even though it is eighty times more distant from earth. Then suddenly it all but disappeared from view till recently, and it is now increasing in brightness once again. This is a putative cycle that may be as low as 170-190 years. But complicating the problem is the fact that some cycles seem to be skipped, at least from Earth's viewpoint. We know there is an apparent connectivity between asteroid impacts and mass extinctions on Earth. But could there also exist a cosmic link with less apparent forms of energy - transferred from far greater distances, such as "gravity waves" or perhaps laser-like hard x-ray emission or "mini black holes," energy transfer that don't diminish with distance-squared? This star, Eta Carinae is so distant, 7500 light years, that we should be spatially insulated from it, but maybe not. More on that later. More to the point, are these two apparently unrelated subjects - the Dark Ages and distant star implosions (or any other regular cosmic event) somehow connected? In some sense, this essay is using Eta Carinae as a metaphor or "whipping boy" for a variety of cosmic predators such as "nemesis" our Sun's reputed companion "death star." Any of these lesser-known cosmic objects can themselves be the ultimate (but perhaps more predictable) trigger for earthly catastrophes that have previously been labeled as "natural" disasters (in the sense of unpredictable). But in the future, if we can discover any degree of underlying predictability, it may be to our advantage, even critical to our survival as a species. For the answer to whether or not there is some degree of cosmic connectivity, we must begin by delving into the underlying immediate cause(s) of the Dark Ages. And there are no shortage of theories of what triggered the Dark Ages, most of which involve a domino effect that begins with a "natural" cataclysmic event, then escalates into weather changes, then to crop failures, then to the plague and so on. Drought plays a major role. Based on archaeological findings in Greece, Professor Stephen Miller of UC Berkeley has found substantial evidence to support the drought theory. But prior to drought he believes that climate changes were brought on by supervolcanism. Supervolcanism is an emerging scientific field that transcends normal volcanism. It is becoming a separate field of inquiry because so many things change when a phenomena is multiplied by orders of magnitude. Within the bounds of normal volcanism, for instance, a Vesuvius will erupt periodically and you loose a few cities. In supervolcanism, a Krakatoa (or a Yellowstone) will erupt more infrequently, but thereafter, our whole planet changes in unpredictable ways, even triggering or ending major or mini ice ages. Miller says the written eyewitness accounts that survived from Rome, Constantinople, Mesopotamia and China agree that in March 536 A.D., the sun disappeared for between 15 and 18 months, and left behind a very cold and very different Earth. The trigger for the disappearance of the sun and resultant drought is said by Miller and others to have been a major volcanic eruption in New Guinea that cloaked the skies in dust. Science writer David Keys affirms that the stunningly complex chain of events begins on Krakatoa, with a volcanic explosion equal to "two billion Hiroshima size bombs." The subsequent environmental calamity, he believes, may even have played a major role in such disparate changes as the collapse of several South American cultures and the rise of a struggling religion, Islam. A recent PBS documentary on supervolcanism has pinpointed the whole 1000 sq. mi. Yellowstone protrusion as a future supervolcano site - one that is in an expansion stage and primed to explode. But supervolcanism may not be the end of the story of the cause of last Dark Ages, nor even a good warning tool for predicting the next one. The may exist an even more exotic trigger for supervolcanism itself, a cosmic trigger. Perhaps we should begin to paint on a larger palette. It has been suggested that our Sun has an invisible companion star called "nemesis" that can trigger meteor showers and possibly tidal changes in the Sun that affect its energy output. And of course, a meteor impact can trigger supervolcanism. Such may have happened with the "Deccan" eruptions 65 million years ago. But the periodicity of Nemesis seems far too long to account for less dramatic disasters in modern times. There is overwhelming evidence that cosmic forces are at work in even small climate changes. For example, the last mini ice age (1645 -1715) occurred at the same time as a prolonged period of very low activity in the Sun. This was not coincidental, and even if that particular mini ice age had been triggered by a volcano, reduced solar activity would have played a part. A previous mini ice age started in 1280 but lasted much longer than the usual 40-50 years. Although a putative 170-190 year period for Eta Carinae might fit here, most likely it is just coincidental - and we should be aware that any determined statistician can coax a "fit" with a limited data set. But cautious observers should also be a little concerned as to whether the reappearance of Eta Carinae in the southern sky is a predictor of an earthly supervolcano in the next decade. By the way, the Maya, who had a pretty good understanding of astronomy and a view of the Carina constellation, predicted the end of the present Great Cycle as occurring on December 21, 2012 A.D. So far as we know, they didn't specifically implicate Eta Carinae, but then again, most of their beautifully illustrated documents were destroyed by the invading Spanish priests as being "pagan abominations." So the larger question becomes, "is there any relatively frequent periodic cosmic trigger to either our Sun's activity, or to supervolcanism, or to both? Could Eta Carinae, even as distant as it is, cause fluctuations in our Suns activity and/or trigger supervolcanism on earth? If there is such a thing as "gravity waves" would they traverse 7000 light years of space without the normal "distance squared" diminution, in order to interact with unstable magma to instigate supervolcanism. We have just started to look at the full range of astronomical periodicity in these earthly catastrophes, but the archaeological record should also be employed to fill in the picture of a past for which astronomical evidence is thin. Eta Carinae has a 5.5 year minor period that is associated with a possible companion star, but it may possess longer regular pulsation period - this is where our record is too thin to be sure. And certainly there are more objects out there that could affect Earth than those we have identified. Also there is the issue of delayed cause and effect. For instance, very unusual solar flare activity peaks around 1862 showering Earth with large amounts of what is later identified as gamma radiation. This is 5 years after the peak visible effects of the Eta Carinae flare-up that "ended" in 1857. It is suspected (from a halo of ejected nebula material) that Eta Carinae was active around 500 A.D., near the time of the Krakatoa supervolcanism that triggered the Dark Ages. Krakatoa again erupted in 1883, in one of the largest eruptions in recent time but not a supervolcano. This was more than 25 years after Eta Carinae had reappeared and waned, so ostensibly there appears a significant gap in connecting the two events. But can we be sure the two are unconnected? The jury is still out on whether the events are connected at all, or perhaps connected by means our Sun as an intermediary, or more likely whether there is some other unknown, more local influence like a "nemesis" star or protostar, acting alone of in harmony. The figures say Eta Carinae is 7500 light years away, so even if its mass were several hundred solar masses, it would have less than a billion times the gravitational influence on the Sun that Earth does, normally too little to have any major effect... unless: 1) The star (EC or another candidate object) has an immense magnetic field 2) The discharge is strictly a polar emission that is directed and focused by the star's immense magnetic field so that it becomes a focused laser-like beam with minimum spread, exiting from the star's poles, and 3) Our sun at the critical point in time (such as 535 AD) happened to be traveling in the direct line of sight of the focused beam emission.... 4) Or...There exists in nature a "gravity wave" that propagates through space with less diminution than gravity itself, somewhat like a tidal wave on earth. Recent Hubble and Chandra observations of Eta Carinae (NASA appears to be expending an incredible amount of its resources on this one star) have confirmed it to be the most luminous object in our galaxy - even when it is not visible from Earth and despite its having recently shed a third of its mass. It radiates at the rate of several million Suns, most of the radiation being at infrared wavelengths from dust in its nebula which was expelled approximately 1500 years ago. Astronomers still do not know what lies at the heart of Eta Carinae and it may be just end up being the most extreme example of a luminous blue variable - a stage in the evolution of the most massive stars. Such a star can produce intense amounts of radiation as it explodes in a supernova, possibly a "hypernova," a type of explosion that has been hypothesized to produce intense gamma ray bursts. An interesting read, if you can find it, is Paolo Maffei's ".Monsters in the Sky" MIT Press 1980. Maffei suggests Eta Carinae might have been the Sumerian "Star of Ea" mentioned in ancient Mesopotamian documents as warning the Sumerian "Noah" about an impending flood. Once the star becomes better known, of course, it is just a matter of time before some fringe evangelist will also link it to another prophetic event that occurred two millenniums ago. end of draft From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Mon May 13 11:06:40 2002 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id LAA11557; Mon, 13 May 2002 11:03:10 -0700 Resent-Date: Mon, 13 May 2002 11:03:10 -0700 X-Sent: 13 May 2002 18:02:28 GMT Message-Id: <5.1.0.14.2.20020513132530.031e8f88 mail.DIRECTVInternet.com> X-Sender: jedrothwell mail.DIRECTVInternet.com X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 5.1 Date: Mon, 13 May 2002 14:02:08 -0400 To: vortex-l eskimo.com, vortex-l@eskimo.com From: Jed Rothwell Subject: Re: biodiesel story in the ny times In-Reply-To: <1a1.2225f6e.2a0ff52e aol.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Resent-Message-ID: <"ZxLJZ.0.Rq2.T__ty" mx1> Resent-From: vortex-l eskimo.com Reply-To: vortex-l eskimo.com X-Mailing-List: archive/latest/47088 X-Loop: vortex-l eskimo.com Precedence: list Resent-Sender: vortex-l-request eskimo.com Status: RO X-Status: I read this in the Times. I think I will ask Dr. Pimentel whether he thinks there is a significant net gain in energy from this source. His numbers for ethanol and methanol indicate there is a substantial net loss. (Chapter 19) Based on ERAB, NAP and USDA statistics, he estimates it takes 131,017 Btu of fossil fuel to make 1 gallon of ethanol, which produces only 76,000 Btu. Ethanol production costs the U.S. taxpayers $750 million in direct subsidies, and probably billions more in higher oil prices, waste and pollution. 2.2 billion gallons of ethanol are produced, which means we have import and throw away about 3 billion gallons of oil and natural gas. Ethanol factories produce 160 gallons of polluted wastewater for every gallon of ethanol. The production of useless surplus corn erodes 9 tons/acre per year of topsoil, and uses up aquifer water 25% faster than the water is replaced.

That was Carlo Rubbia, not me, and I am sure he did not forget the breeder cycle. He was discussing technology already existing and implemented, not potential solutions. He does not mention breeder reactors in the essay, however.

To make 1 gallon we have to burn 1.7 gallons of oil and gas equivalent, pollute 160 gallons of water, and wash away 33 kg of topsoil (assuming 110 bu corn per acre; 2.5 gallons ethanol per bushel). If this is clean, what would be dirty? Obviously it would be better not to use any fuel additives. If you could show that Pimentel's numbers are incorrect, you might have a valid argument, but assuming these numbers are accurate ethanol is probably the most polluting energy "source" ever developed. Actually, it is not a source, it is an energy drain. As an "additive" it might make fuel marginally cleaner, but it makes the air and earth in other places much dirtier. This reminds me a little of the movements in the 1980s to have people wash labels off of glass bottles before recycling them.

I don't know if Aspden visited the Correas since he wrote the above-quoted opinion. I do know that the association between the Correas and Aspeden has continued. Gene Mallove and I are the only Vortex correspondants who have actually seen the PAGD apparatus and demonstration. Both of us have reported favorably on what we have seen. If one were to apply Jed's acerbic comments to CF, one would conclude that CF "doesn't work" either. But Jed knows better, and has been a vocal defendant of the CF cause for years and even handed critic of what he has seen as a failure of CF investigators to take proper advantage of market forces to develop applications. PAGD "works" in the same sense that the many positive CF experiments "work". There is a clear manifestation of an energetic phenomenon yielding "excess energy" without any conventional explanation. Aspden has provided an essay relating the PAGD phenomenon to his work on aether theory, which is different in emphasis and structure from the Correa's published papers on an aether-related phenomena following the earlier work of Reich. PAGD is utterly different. What has been published is not all of their work, by any means. Readers of this note are cautioned that the term "aether", like "zero point energy" or "vacuum energy" are Humpty-Dumpty terms, in the sense that the terms mean what their authors intend them to mean and have no standard definitions. The Michelson-Morely experiment "supposedly" nullified one definition of "aether", but not all definitions. Many individuals and groups have approached the Correas to negotiate arrangements for development, including the Israeli government (as noted in the Aspden Opinion). All these have fallen through for reasons I won't discuss here. I can say from my own observation that the road from the phenomenon I saw to a commercially useful system is difficult and expensive, as it is with every CF phenomenon now visible. Gene made a sincere effort to bring investors to the table, but the Correas put a condition on the negotiation that was unacceptable. I am aware of two attempts to duplicate the PAGD phenomenon, both failed. I visited one experimenter who lives nearby . He was busy "improving" the PAGD device before he really understood the phenomenon or what is necessary to evoke it. The Aspden Opinion also includes an appreciation of the three patents, which I have also studied, and I agree with Aspden's opinion. These are remarkable for their completeness, presentation of data, and discussion of practical and theoretical matters. There isn't much hand-waving or coining of new and unusual terminology. Yet, as Paulo mentioned in a conversation, one has to be skilled in many arts to understand the patent well enough to duplicate the phenomenon.

We must see independent replication. >If one were to apply Jed's acerbic comments to CF, one would conclude that >CF "doesn't work" either. Nonsense. CF was widely and independently replicated. If it had not been I would still not believe a word of it. I did not believe it until around 1991, when I read reports by Bockris, McKubre, Oriani and others confirming Pons & Fleischmann. No matter how good the original experiment might have been, and no matter how many qualified people had trooped in to see F&P, I would never have been convinced. There is only one standard in experimental science, and it applies to all researchers without exception, from the rank amateur to the most distinguished Professor at MIT. The experiment must be replicated! The only exception would be an overwhelming technological demonstration such as explosion of the first atomic bomb. In other words, if the Correas give me a 1 kg machine that stays palpably hot for weeks, I will believe it. If they refuse to give me one, but they give 10 other reliable people such machines, and I hear from all ten other people in detail, I suppose I will believe it. There have been surprisingly few convincing demonstrations in history. The x-ray comes to mind. Marconi's first transatlantic radio transmission might have been random noise . . . but a week later I suppose they had enough data to prove the point. Even the first flight at Kitty Hawk might fail to prove that fully controlled, powered flight had been achieved. It looked like an uncontrolled hop, the sort of thing people had done for 50 years already. The fourth flight that day did prove the issue. >But Jed knows better, and has been a vocal defendant of the CF cause for >years and even handed critic of what he has seen as a failure of CF >investigators to take proper advantage of market forces to develop >applications.

This is true of many patents. It should not stand in the way of development. No doubt hundreds of thousands of people are qualified to replicate, perhaps with initial assistance from the Correas. - Jed From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Wed May 15 09:54:46 2002 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id JAA29837; Wed, 15 May 2002 09:51:47 -0700 Resent-Date: Wed, 15 May 2002 09:51:47 -0700 X-Sent: 15 May 2002 16:51:12 GMT Message-Id: <5.1.0.14.2.20020515123837.0324a748 mail.DIRECTVInternet.com> X-Sender: jedrothwell mail.DIRECTVInternet.com X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 5.1 Date: Wed, 15 May 2002 12:50:59 -0400 To: vortex-l eskimo.com, vortex-l@eskimo.com From: Jed Rothwell Subject: Re: FW: Dr. Harold Aspden's Opinion on the Correa PAGD Invention In-Reply-To: References: <5.1.0.14.2.20020514163455.03216598 mail.DIRECTVInternet.com> <200205120324.g4C3OKa10274 host19.apollohosting.com> <5.1.0.14.2.20020514163455.03216598 mail.DIRECTVInternet.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Resent-Message-ID: <"lRocb3.0.7I7.Z8fuy" mx1> Resent-From: vortex-l eskimo.com Reply-To: vortex-l eskimo.com X-Mailing-List: archive/latest/47100 X-Loop: vortex-l eskimo.com Precedence: list Resent-Sender: vortex-l-request eskimo.com Status: RO X-Status: Jean-de-Lagarde wrote: >When was Aspden's Opinion written ?

See: http://www.aetherometry.com/index.html Links to the Correas' PAGD Patents From the USPTO on the Delphion Database: US5416391: May 16, 1995 / Oct. 15, 1992 Electromechanical transduction of plasma pulses http://www.delphion.com/details?pn=US05416391__ US5449989: Sept. 12, 1995 / April 15, 1993 Energy conversion system http://www.delphion.com/details?pn=US05449989__ US5502354: March 26, 1996 / April 19, 1994 Direct current energized pulse generator utilizing autogenous cyclical pulsed abnormal glow discharges http://www.delphion.com/details?pn=US05502354__ So the first patent is halfway to expiration. If you are not going to develop and commercialize a patent, why bother getting it? It takes a great deal of time and money to get a patent, people say. You might as well put the research in the public domain. In 10 or 12 more years anyone will be free to commercialize PAGD technology. I doubt anyone will, but they might. The Correas will lose all control over development. They should strike a deal now while they still have leverage. I am glad patents last only 20 years. It is a shame for the inventors, but most of them are so inept at business they squander all opportunities anyway. I do not think the Correas could sell a single PAGD or entice an investor even if the patent term lasted 100 years. - Jed From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Wed May 15 10:49:05 2002 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id KAA02959; Wed, 15 May 2002 10:45:59 -0700 Resent-Date: Wed, 15 May 2002 10:45:59 -0700 X-Sent: 15 May 2002 17:45:23 GMT Message-Id: <5.1.0.14.2.20020515134304.0324a748 mail.DIRECTVInternet.com> X-Sender: jedrothwell mail.DIRECTVInternet.com X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 5.1 Date: Wed, 15 May 2002 13:44:51 -0400 To: vortex-L eskimo.com From: Jed Rothwell Subject: OFF TOPIC Good chance to observe Venus Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Resent-Message-ID: <"ETcQ5.0.vj.Mxfuy" mx1> Resent-From: vortex-l eskimo.com Reply-To: vortex-l eskimo.com X-Mailing-List: archive/latest/47101 X-Loop: vortex-l eskimo.com Precedence: list Resent-Sender: vortex-l-request eskimo.com Status: O X-Status: At 9:00 p.m. EST yesterday Venus was close to the moon, and very bright in the early evening sky, which was still blue.

It appears to be based on the false notion that the linear voltage gradient through most of a linear plasma discharge tube will translate into, i.e. remain, a linear gradient if the discharge is between spherical electrodes instead of between plates at the opposite ends of a long confining tube. It is assumed by the author that a linear voltage gradient, a constant dV/dr on any radial line, is sustained around the sun. This could in fact be true, due to some miraculous and unexplained mysterious phenomenon, possibly more impressive and unexpected than a small secondary linear component to gravity. However, the author of the article gives no substance to any argument that such a miracle is occuring except to place in boldface type his statement that the voltage gradient is linear. It appears the author simply assumes the gradient is linear, from the sun to the heliopause, by looking at a graph of the voltage gradient of a linear plasma discharge tube, which he kindly provides on his web page. This assumption is an unwarranted leap of faith, based on a lack of understanding of geometry, but not a surprising type of misconception to be found in a non-quantitative "theory." I will not be able to respond to any other communications for at least a week.

Perhaps someone here can address it. NASA and many others discuss hydroponic agriculture in connection with Advanced Life Support (ALS) (formerly called "controlled environment life support system - CELSS"). I have a very basic question about that subject. Oddly enough, I cannot find the answer in NASA literature and various books. To put it simply, using only artificial light, how many kilowatt-hours of electricity does it take to grow a kilogram of food? One hydroponic gardener estimated "1-2 kWh per plant for lettuce (26 days from seed to maturity)." That seems much too low. Perhaps that was supplemental light, and limited sunlight. Assume you have a deep space mission with no sunlight in a well insulated chamber. Given today's optimum technology, no limits to cost, the best choice of crops and techniques, approximately how much electric energy would it take to produce a kcal of vegetable nourishment? That is, what is the approximate ratio of input to output energy? By "nourishment" I mean any ratio of carbohydrates and protein, even cassava, which is protein deficient. I presume protein supplements could be brought along in a space voyage. Assume you can use LED lights or other exotic high-efficiency equipment, with optimum wavelengths. Assume waste heat from the lights is sufficient to keep the crops warm in the well insulated chamber, and the limiting factor would be the amount of light from the most efficient LED or fluorescent lights. Ignore the energy required to harvest, preserve and prepare the food. Would this input/output ratio be much higher for a well-balanced, interesting, varied vegetarian diet, without protein supplements? As I said, the estimate of 1 - 2 kWh seems much too low. A typical head of lettuce is 150 g, with 31.5 kcal = 0.04 kWh. With the best lighting systems ~10% of the electricity converts to light. In other words, 1 - 2 kWh convert to 0.1 ~ 0.2 kWh of light, meaning 15% to 30% of that converts to nutrition in the plant. In nature, 0.1% of sunlight converts into biomass according to D. Pimentel, "Food, Energy and Society," (University Press of Colorado, 1996). The limiting factors in nature are availability of water in the tropics, and temperature in temperate zones. (p. 19) Apparently most of the sunlight goes to waste. Still, it is hard to believe photosynthesis can be 30% efficient. On the other hand, another source says "on a sunny day, the radiation used for photosynthesis is about 20% of the PAR, or about 10% of the total solar radiation." (http://www.ears.nl/ppm/e_index.htm). People with hands-on experience with indoor hydroponics should have more practical knowledge of these issues. - Jed Rothwell From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Wed May 15 14:52:29 2002 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id OAA01674; Wed, 15 May 2002 14:44:24 -0700 Resent-Date: Wed, 15 May 2002 14:44:24 -0700 Message-ID: <3CE2D6B6.3050706 pbtta.com> Date: Wed, 15 May 2002 17:44:22 -0400 From: "Terry Blanton" User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.4.1) Gecko/20020314 Netscape6/6.2.2 X-Accept-Language: en-us MIME-Version: 1.0 To: vortex-l eskimo.com Subject: Re: Question about hydroponics, photosynthesis References: <5.1.0.14.2.20020515155917.031d5060 mail.DIRECTVInternet.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Resent-Message-ID: <"OIqWK2.0.-P.tQjuy" mx1> Resent-From: vortex-l eskimo.com Reply-To: vortex-l eskimo.com X-Mailing-List: archive/latest/47104 X-Loop: vortex-l eskimo.com Precedence: list Resent-Sender: vortex-l-request eskimo.com Status: O X-Status: Jed Rothwell wrote: > People with hands-on experience with indoor hydroponics should have > more practical knowledge of these issues.

How much of this augments natural light? How much food can be grown in the space described in this document? What is mass of the edible portion of the food? I have tables of nutritional value in kcal for various foods. One group of people routinely grows plants completely indoors, away from natural light and prying eyes: indoor marijuana growers. They have published quite a bit of information on Internet. Unfortunately, the product is not edible and I do not know how much biomass it has. They do not publish scientific papers or detailed quantitative analyses. I suppose their profit margin is so high cost doesn't matter. Cold fusion will be a boon to these people, since the police sometimes track them down by looking for unusually high power consumption. Other hydroponic researchers generally use ambient sunlight. They publish more quantitative facts and they are more forthcoming, since they have nothing to hide. Some are downright exhibitionist. See "The Inside Story, Uncensored" at the Tomatoes Live! tomato-cam, at the University of Arizona: http://ag.arizona.edu/ceac/ I found a long NASA study about this, with many interesting conclusions about chemistry and biology, human waste recycling, mass balance, medical effects and so on. Unfortunately, in the section about about energy use and the energy balance, they say that after months of research they found out their power meters were not working right, so the data is meaningless. It sounds a lot like a CF experiment. See: http://advlifesupport.jsc.nasa.gov/Reports/Phase3/07_LMLSTP.html "4.7 Energy Balance, Problems were discovered post-test with the wattmeters used throughout the test. As a result, specific subsystem energy balances are not reported. . . ." - Jed From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Wed May 15 20:11:31 2002 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id UAA14993; Wed, 15 May 2002 20:08:37 -0700 Resent-Date: Wed, 15 May 2002 20:08:37 -0700 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" From: Standing Bear To: vortex-l eskimo.com Subject: Re: Accelerator-driven fission reactors Date: Wed, 15 May 2002 23:09:33 -0400 X-Mailer: KMail [version 1.3.1] References: <5.1.0.14.2.20020508160812.031e82b8 mail.DIRECTVInternet.com> <5.1.0.14.2.20020514092827.03257e58@mail.DIRECTVInternet.com> In-Reply-To: <5.1.0.14.2.20020514092827.03257e58 mail.DIRECTVInternet.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Message-Id: Resent-Message-ID: <"2ENGZ2.0.Bg3.rAouy" mx1> Resent-From: vortex-l eskimo.com Reply-To: vortex-l eskimo.com X-Mailing-List: archive/latest/47106 X-Loop: vortex-l eskimo.com Precedence: list Resent-Sender: vortex-l-request eskimo.com Status: O X-Status: A On Tuesday 14 May 2002 09:32, Jed Rothwell wrote: > Standing Bear wrote: > > > For instance in order to produce 1 GWe x 30 years ~6.1 TWh one has to > > > handle 4.50 x 10E7 ton of high content Uranium ores (2000 ppm), to be > > > compared with 3.21 x 10E8 ton of coal mining for a Coal fired plant. > > > The conclusion is that most of the "magic" nuclear factor of 3 x 10E6 > > > of nuclear energy is, as of today, almost wiped out." > > > >aren't you forgetting about the breeder cycle? > > That was Carlo Rubbia, not me, and I am sure he did not forget the breeder > cycle.

They are in a crash program to build a breeder system much larger than the one that we had and were operating at Clinch River in Tennessee back in the 60's and 70's before we were forced to abandon it by a coalition of middle eastern oil interests, enemy agents provocateurs, economic saboteurs, and domestic traitors calling themselves environmentalists. Just because ours was shut down did not mean the end of the technology, only that when it was built, somebody else would build it. They have! And whatever 'concerns' environments have or will have about it will be dealt with by foreign governments who look on treason a bit more sternly than weaklings such as us. As these reworked products or our research come on line, our industry that is still dependent on foreign oil, gas, etc. will find themselves at increasing and progressive competitive disadvantage. It will be the giant 'sucking sound', as Ross Perot put it back a few years ago, of our money being vacuumed out of our economy. The jobs are pretty much gone now except for servant and butler type jobs. The ironic thing about it is the plutonium that made all this possible was sold to the Japanese at bargain basement prices at the behest of the old Bush administration and shipped to Japan under huge international protest during the Clinton years. Part of 'free trade' I suppose. We give and they take. I do not fault Japan. I have been there and they are a hard working people who basically earn what they get. They are only trying to save themselves. Would that we could emulate them.

Oh no, Mr. Carrell. I am forwarding the **document** to the superintendent. It's my contention that somehow the crap in it did not go thru the formal NRL review process which is very, very rigorous. I want to know why the Navy issued it. Of course, it's possible that a disclaimer was left off, and it's really only Scott Chubb speaking for himself and a small group unofficially. As I am aware such errors do happen. pz ------ Forwarded Message From: Peter Zimmerman Reply-To: hydrino yahoogroups.com Date: Fri, 10 May 2002 01:11:30 -0400 To: hydrino yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: HSG: Re: An opportunity to talk to an independent scientist I have some information from NRL. The work is not an NRL publication, however the contributions of NRL researchers are required to go through internal peer review, regardless of where a paper is published. That obligation may not have been met, or met only nominally meaning CFanatics reviewed Chubb's work. It will also be interesting to see which pot of taxpayer money was used. My NRL friend, more pungently, said that he gagged upon reading the introduction. More later. I also have Vol. 2 entirely by Fleischmann and filled with condescending and/or self-important footnotes denigrating the work and skills of all other electrochemists. But I spent most of my 10hr workday on real work, so I didn't have time to read more than a teensy bit thoroughly. /pz - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - From: "Melvin H. Miles" To: Subject: NRL/Cold Fusion Report Date: Thu, 16 May 2002 09:17:00 -0500 X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2615.200 I performed the experiment covered in the NRL report and used Pd-B material prepared by Dr. M.A. Imam of NRL. Dr. Fred Saalfeld, head of ONR, approved the publication of the report. There was clearly excess enthalpy in this experiment. My own independent data analysis compares very favorably to this detailed data analysis that was done by Martin Fleischmann for this same experiment. The equation used are solidly based on the First Law of Thermodynamics that I cover in my physical chemistry class here at Middle Tennessee State University. If anybody wants to reject these results, they must base their reasoning solidly on scientific principle and not on bias or emotions. In the past, new scientific concepts were accepted or rejected based on the Scientific Method. The critics of cold fusion, however, have used ridicule as their main weapons and, therefore, have avoided discussions of the actual science. Martin Fleischmann is certainly one of the world's experts on the accurate analysis of scientific data. The actual data considered is available in the NRL Report for any independent analysis.

For example, a normal nuclear reactor generates mildly radioactive waste in making fuel rods. This source of radioactivity is bad enough. In contrast, a breeder reactor generates this waste as well as a large quantity of highly radioactive waste when the fuel is reprocessed. This is the reason why the US stores spent fuel rather than converting it to a more storable form. It is also why we are not developing a breeder reactor. We tried to reprocess fuel and the result was done so badly everyone realized that this technique would not work in our economic system, i.e. low-bid make-a-buck-at-any-cost. Perhaps the Japanese have better control over how technology is implemented, although some recent experiences would argue otherwise. In any case, even a small accident at a reprocessing plant produces a serious, permanent problem. Only a foolish government would subject their citizens to this risk. No need exists to invoke conspiracy to explain the US position. In this one case, perhaps we are more wise than the Japanese.

I believe you refer to the Monju breeder reactor, and associated facilities. I do not know of any other Japanese breeder program. Monju along with the entire Japanese program is moribund. It was closed after a fire in 1995, and most observers say there is no chance it will be reopened. http://www.jnc.go.jp/zmonju/mjweb/welcome.htm http://www.jnc.go.jp/zmonju/mjweb/monjumen.htm See the New York Times, December 20, 1992, "Japan's Nuclear Fiasco." A senior Japanese official who asked not to be identified is quoted: "It is almost inconceivable that such a good idea would have turned this bad. We spent the last 20 years building this project, and we'll probably spend the next 20 killing it." >. . . before we were forced to abandon it by a coalition of middle >eastern oil interests, enemy agents provocateurs, economic saboteurs, and >domestic traitors calling themselves environmentalists. A coalition of economists & power company executives might have had more influence in this case. Electricity from a breeder reactor would be far more expensive than any other source. The Times quoted a "horrified" senior official at Tokyo Electric power company, ". . . this will cost consumers a fortune." - Jed From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Thu May 16 08:25:01 2002 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id IAA02659; Thu, 16 May 2002 08:24:32 -0700 Resent-Date: Thu, 16 May 2002 08:24:32 -0700 Date: Thu, 16 May 2002 08:22:53 -0700 From: Jones Beene Subject: First Segway crash To: vortex Message-id: <003d01c1fced$8c9e0720$8837fea9 computer> MIME-version: 1.0 X-MIMEOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.50.4807.1700 X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.50.4807.1700 Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-priority: Normal Resent-Message-ID: <"dtkWh.0.Jf.lyyuy" mx1> Resent-From: vortex-l eskimo.com Reply-To: vortex-l eskimo.com X-Mailing-List: archive/latest/47118 X-Loop: vortex-l eskimo.com Precedence: list Resent-Sender: vortex-l-request eskimo.com Status: RO X-Status: >From the Beeb: http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/uk/newsid_1980000/1980254.stm Like many dedicated walkers I share this Brit's sentiment (apparently in England "pavement"=sidewalk) : Yes, I have ridden one and they are fun.

Part of 'free trade' I suppose. I remember when this happened, I couldn't believe that such a huge quantity of plutonium would be stored in such an earthquake prone area as Japan. I'm deeply thankful that this country is on the other side of the planet, but I pity the poor Japanese citizen when the inevitable accident occurs. By the way, what did they do with all the plutonium? Does anybody know? Last I heard about it was the huge stink about shipping it, nobody wanted the ship in port. Also, can't you make nuclear weapons with this material? K.

These are Ranque-Hilsch in principle but technically very inefficient for cooling compared to normal refrigeration, nevertheless quite handy in many industrial situations where you have installed compressed air and not enough room or time to set up a portable chiller. We used them 40 years ago in tool&die work, such as when needed to cool down a carbide bit when doing heavy work on a Bridgeport and your chiller was in use elsewhere etc. When you get up to something like 40-1 L/D ratio, then they become considerably more efficient, but then you loose the ease of setup which is what the short ones are all about - strictly convenience.

I guess it's fair to say then that the hilsch type device is substantially more efficient than simply allowing the compressed air to expand from a nozzle.

You write: >I am not in favor of shipping Pu around the planet, but I doubt earthquakes >would be a problem. Buildings can be made completely earthquake proof. This >would be too expensive for offices or houses but it can be done. Agreed. But of course, it will probably not be done. Rather, the plutonium will likely be stored in a wooden shack situated right over a fault line. Why? Well, the guy that owns the shack and the quaking land beneath is the PM's brother, or some such thing... This is the reality of the world we live in. It's also why, as Ed pointed out, we don't use breeder reactors. Just too much potential for disaster. Remember that last nuclear accident in Japan? Uranium fuel was being processed in 5 gallon steel mop buckets...by the pound! Did they know better? Of course they did, but yet the accident happened. >government of Georgia reimposing slavery. If the prime minister or a member >of the Cabinet hinted they are thinking about doing this, I expect the >government would fall within a week, and the party would lose the next >election. Also agreed. I wasn't thinking that they'd be making bombs, rather that if you're trying to control proliferation of nuclear weapons you'd probably want to keep a tight lid on where the key element is. The more folks that have a hand on it, the less control. I was hoping you'd have some info on what was actually done with the Pu, being our resident nipponophile. If as you say, they've stopped plans for the breeder reactors, what did they do with all that fuel???? K.

To my knowledge, there have been no tests of Correa devices on the premises of Gene's New Energy Research Laboratory. Gene has made several visit to the Correa's laboratory to observe demonstrations of several devices and phenomena. I have made one visit, several years ago. None of these visits were under 'due diligence' rules, which allow detailed examination of apparatus, setups, and challenges to phenomena observed. A formal, "due diligence" demonstration of the PAGD phenomenon is a four-day affair, involving tutorial lectures, calibration procedures, measurements, the whole bag. I wrote a review of PAGD for Infinite Energy some years ago, outlining the calibration procedures. > > > > >2. The gadget does not actually work.

Developing that phenomena into a device ready for prime time is about $15 million, according to Correa's estimate. In my opinion, that estimate is realistic. > > >3. The Correas are monumentally bad at attractive venture capital. What venture capitalists typically want to do is package a gimmick, sell stock, get rich, and sell out. The Correas have been approached by many parties with smoke-and-mirrors credentials and twisty agendas. Developing the technology requires a hand picked team of specialists to whom the Correas would have to make a multi-year financial commitment to order their lives to work on the task. Because of this, Correa demands technical and management control of the enterprise and an irrevocable commitment of funds to carry through for a period of years. These requirements are ethical but are antithetical to venture capitalist who want control of the enterprise and the freedom to walk away at the least disappointment. > > > >4.

Brown mounted a plausible feasibility demonstration of a method of remediation of radioactive elements. It is accepted by the high energy physics community because it falls within the realm of accepted knowledge. The apparatus is expensive, consumes significant energy, and, I believe, has to be tuned to the specific isotope to be acted on. The quantity of material to be moved into Yucca mountain is in the tens of kilotons, according to numbers found in Internet sites. It is also a mixed bag of many different isotopes. There are very significant engineering problems in handling existing radwastes and getting it to a Brown device. There are no "good" solutions to this problem, only degrees of badness.

I have no doubt that conspiracies exist, Tom. However, most events can be explained more easily by stupidity or the facts of reality. Generally, the system is too stupid or too driven by narrow self-interest to agree on a conspiracy. > > > Can you explain why the government is going to bury the nuclear waste > in Yucca mountain rather than use Paul Brown's technology to do away > with it? Paul Brown's technology works on a small scale. However, two problems exist. First of all, the fuel rods would have to be separated into the various radioactive elements, with the resulting huge amount of low level waste. This separation is required so that the different elements can be exposed to the proper frequency of radiation without the radiation being wasted by just heating the other elements. Second, the power required to produce the radiation would be so large to be impractical. It is much more economic and less risky to bury the stuff. Perhaps some day when the method has been made more efficient, the waste can be dug up and processed. Meanwhile, the isotopes in the fuel rods are decaying and becoming less deadly. > > > Then there is Enron.

Long Term Capital Management went under because they bet wrong on the derivatives market. This was a simple act of hubris. In addition, if they had been allowed to fail, the whole financial system would have failed, because of the way derivatives operate in the market. On the other hand, Enron was not only incompetent but was grossly dishonest with no sense of business ethics. In addition, they had so thoroughly bribed representatives in the government that the government could not step in without the scandal getting even worse. Enron is a perfect example of the worst kind of corruption that results when business is allowed to bribe the government. This company could not be saved because if it had, the Bush administration would thereby reveal just how effective the bribery had become.

Park Friday, 17 May 02 Washington, DC 1. SECRECY: SWIFT ACTION TAKEN TO DEAL WITH MISSILE FAILURES. On Tuesday, Defense Daily revealed that a Lockheed-Martin Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) missile did not destroy its target as the Missile Defense Agency had stated. A second PAC-3 failed to launch. The Pentagon lost no time in taking firm corrective action: on Wednesday, Defense Daily reported that in the future all specifics of the targets and countermeasures used in tests will be classified. Officials denied that the secrecy order was intended to prevent any independent review of the missile-test program. And I'm an alien from the planet Mongo. 2. ARMS REDUCTION: THREE-PAGE TREATY CUTS ARSENALS BY TWO-THIRDS. This is far more practical than destroying nuclear missiles with interceptors. It's also much more than a hand-shake. The cuts are similar to those in Start III, negotiated by Clinton at the 1997 Helsinki summit, which the Senate declined to ratify. One difference is that this treaty will be signed by a Republican President. This treaty is also full of loopholes insisted on by the U.S. Over strong Russian objections, the count doesn't include warheads that are not "operationally deployed." Nor is there a timetable for the destruction of weapons, as long as it's done within the 10-year life of the treaty. 3. NUCLEAR POSTURE REVIEW: SENATE HEARING TAKES UP THE DEBATE. The Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs convened on Thursday to consider implications of The Nuclear Posture Review, a Pentagon report leaked to the media (WN 15 Mar 02). With no imminent threat from the former Soviet Union, the report calls for a new class of smaller nuclear weapons more suited to our post 9/11 conflicts, including earth-penetrating nukes. Development would violate the Non-Proliferation Treaty, the test moratorium, and common sense. Nobel Laureate Steven Weinberg explained why earth-penetrating nukes would not work against deeply-buried targets, and could end up "killing our own troops and the local population." Developing new weapons sends the wrong message. 4. "LIFTERS": ALIEN TECHNOLOGISTS SEEK MEDIA EXPOSURE. WN got a call this week from a network television reporter asking about "lifter" technology. Since NASA's Podkletnov gravity shield flopped (WN 12 Oct 01), the only anti-gravity claim around is the "lifter." Developers refused to deny rumors that the idea came from wreckage taken from the Roswell UFO crash. Could this be? According to the official Air Force report, the wreckage consisted of balsa wood sticks, metal foil, plastic tape and neoprene. So we went to web site of American Antigravity, which lists materials needed to construct a lifter. Same stuff! (Christy Fernandez contributed to this week's What's New.)

As near as I have been able to tell, the absorbtion curve for gamma rays is actually rather broad, so I wouldn't think that tuning would be all that relevant. If you have any reference to the contrary, I would appreciate it. Short quote from PB: "Matsumoto did not consider other constituents of mixed waste, so this remains to be done. However, since the thresholds and photo-cross sections for the radioisotopes vary by only about 10%, it is reasonable to assume that mixed waste may be treated." (See http://www.nucsol.com/Publications/pdf/phototrans.pdf ). [snip] A small point I would like to add, is that if substances such as boron or cadmium were added before treatment, these might tend to "soak up" the neutrons freed from other isotopes, and help prevent the formation of new radioactive isotopes during the process.

The Earth is a giant capacitor, and Tesla new this. It occurred to me, that in his attempts to transmit energy over distances, he designed resonant circuits wherein the capacitance of the Earth played a central role. In fact it appears he used the Earth as a "multi tap" capacitor. IOW he used the Earth as a common *shared* capacitor in different physically separated resonant circuits, adding energy to one such tank circuit, and extracting it from the other at a distance. It is reported that he on occasion got more energy out of the load circuit than he expected. It also occurred to me that as well as being a giant capacitor, the Earth has a magnetic field, and might also be thought of as a giant inductance. If so, then perhaps the Earth's capacitance and inductance form a huge tank circuit, with energy fed into it by the solar wind. It might then be possible to extract this energy by attaching a circuit to the Earth capacitor, designed to resonate at the same frequency as the Earth's tank circuit. (I have but vague ideas as to what the frequency might be). The attached files are a Circuitmaker[1] diagram and gif thereof, that might provide a start to tapping this potential resource. (It is by no means the first time that such diagrams have been presented, however I think that it may be the first time that the notion of a multi tap capacitive coupling has been suggested. If not, please correct my arrogance :). [1] See www.circuitmaker.com I have included a bifilar coil, because I have heard it said that they will resonate at any frequency, so I thought perhaps that such a non-specific circuit might avoid the necessity of tuning to an unknown frequency. The "capacitor" at the top of the circuit is open for experimentation, and might be anything from an inverted metal salad bowl, to an electrolytic. I have no idea what would function best, and have included it solely as a terminator to the tank circuit, so that the charge has somewhere to accumulate while building resonance. It needs to balance the capacitance of the Earth, so that the charge can "slosh" back and forth between the two.

One of the large, useful overtones is at almost exactly... [drum roll] 60Hz!!! Westinghouse engineers were using 133Hz and higher frequencies when Tesla joined the project. He insisted on 60Hz over their objections. In hindsight we can se why: he was thinking of interfacing his "broadcast power" inventions with the existing grid. I remember seeing a recent mainstream science article about "Is the USA power grid pumping an Earth/ionosphere cavity resonance?" and their conclusion was yes. Also, if you search for "Schumann Resonance" you might find a graph of the Earth electromagnetic resonances. Ah, here's one below. Wow, lookit the 60Hz line, even huge when measured in Greenland. It looks like 60H must be the 8th overtone about the 7.2Hz fundamental (being a spherical resonator, 7.2*9 is closer to 60 than to 65) http://web.archive.org/web/20011125181733/www-star.stanford.edu/~mfuelle/eicrspe.html (((((((((((((((((( ( ( ( ( (O) ) ) ) ) ))))))))))))))))))) William J.

You put the Prill Crystals in a gallon of water and let them sit over night. Then you drain off three quarts and replace them with fresh water. Drinking the Prill Water is said to cleanse you body of toxins and cause it to regenerate itself. The water is said to be filled with an attractive, feminine energy and light passing through it gets a blue tinge. Ten gallons poured down a well causes it to produce Prill Water from then on. The Prill Water is said to enhance plant growth and make them stronger. The Crystal Cupcake produces a more potent form of water called Magic Water. Drinking this water is said to stimulate DHEA production. There are various companies that are marketing products which are supposed to do the same thing. One is based on plant oils, and the others are plant based precursors. The Allopaths, MD's, sell an injectable form of DHEA, like all pharmaceuticals it interfers with the body's normal production of DHEA. All of theses products are consumable, and cost from $35- $100 per month. While the Crystal Cupcake costs $300, it's a one time purchase. I have no idea what kind of energy would produce the above mentioned results, The water's viscosity is said to thicken, in addition to changes in the color of transmitted light. I called my friend Connie, he's one of the few people I know, who has any understanding of quantum vacuum fluxations. As soon as I told him about the Prill Water he said that the energy is ionic. He also figured that the water's PH would rise, which it does. My sponsor is a retired Chem E. We had a long conversation about Natural Philosophy. He's been reading Russell, and was attempting to explain the phenomena in terms of multiple vortices. I told him that he was surprisingly well informed and open minded, considering his education. I only took a few years of chemistry, but I do remember that ionization requires energy. This is not a conventional phenomena, because the crystals are not consumed, and the Prill Water is able to perpetuate itself. -- From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Wed May 22 02:14:26 2002 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id CAA15146; Wed, 22 May 2002 02:11:36 -0700 Resent-Date: Wed, 22 May 2002 02:11:36 -0700 Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Sender: rick mail.highsurf.com Message-Id: In-Reply-To: References: Date: Tue, 21 May 2002 23:11:24 -1000 To: vortex-l eskimo.com From: Rick Monteverde Subject: Re: Where is the energy coming from Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Resent-Message-ID: <"xMkc13.0.Zi3.83swy" mx1> Resent-From: vortex-l eskimo.com Reply-To: vortex-l eskimo.com X-Mailing-List: archive/latest/47146 X-Loop: vortex-l eskimo.com Precedence: list Resent-Sender: vortex-l-request eskimo.com Status: RO X-Status: >I have made what promises to be the biggest thing that I have ever found for reversing the aging process.

Park Friday, 24 May 02 Washington, DC 1. PUNCTUATED EQUILIBRIUM: STEPHEN JAY GOULD DIES AT 60. In the never ending battle against those who turn to religious myths rather than science to explain why things are the way they are, science has lost one of its most eloquent and beloved champions. Years of intense pain from the cancer that finally claimed his life never dimmed his sense of humor or his fierce determination to tell the story of evolution with such clarity and logic that people could not help but understand. Evolution, Gould argued, is not a steady progression toward some goal, but abrupt spurts of adaptation to an environment reshuffled by cosmic accidents. This is not the age of man, he argued, nor was there an age of the dinosaur; it is, as it has always been, the age of bacteria. 2. MISCONDUCT? BELL LABS APPOINTS A PANEL TO INVESTIGATE. Rumors of serious misconduct charges leveled at the world's most successful laboratory (eleven Bell Labs researchers have shared in six Nobel prizes) suddenly burst forth on the pages of the New York Times. Lucent Technologies had responded to the accusations by appointing an independent panel of high-level scientists to investigate. We can recall no similar action by a major research lab. It reflects the importance Lucent attaches to the almost mythic reputation of Bell Labs, as well as the significance of the work, which included a single molecule electronic switch. 3. SECRECY: "THE EINSTEIN FILE" BY FRED JEROME. Most physicists carry around in their heads a collection of Einstein anecdotes, such as his response to a reporter who asked: "Will they ever invent an anti-gravity machine?" "They already have," Einstein solemnly replied, "its called an elevator." But, "The Einstein File: J. Edgar Hoover's Secret War Against the World's Most Famous Scientist" paints a picture of an Einstein of whom most scientists have been only vaguely aware: Einstein the astute politician and passionate civil rights champion. Fortunately, Fred Jerome waged his own two-year war in the courts to make the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) do what it was meant to do. The government was compelled to release a less-censored copy of Einstein's 1500 page FBI file. In the McCarthy era, Einstein saw reflections of the fascism he fled Germany to avoid. In today's developing climate of secrecy, scientists may see reflections of the Einstein file. What's New was shortened this week. Bob Park is recovering from surgery related to his encounter with a tree. We expect to have him back in the office next week. (Christy Ann Fernandez contributed to this weeks What's New.) THE AMERICAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY and THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND Opinions are the author's and are not necessarily shared by the American Physical Society or the University, but they should be.

If the BN can not be made sufficiently conductive then perhaps it can be Pd plated or the Pd vacuum deposited. Alternatively, perhaps the deuterium could be deposited in the formation process. If a very low, but not too low fusion rate were achieved, then a material would be available that remains "warm", and thus might be useful for heating purposes. >PHYSICS NEWS UPDATE >The American Institute of Physics Bulletin of Physics News >Number 590 May 21, 2002 by Phillip F.

I stumbled off the airplane from Beijing late last night. There is a lot to report from ICCF-9, but it is complicated so I should work on a preliminary description for a few days before posting it. These conferences are more difficult to describe than they were a few years ago because experiments are much more sophisticated. Results are no longer binary: heat or no heat. Bare bones, basic repeatability is good in most experiments. Results are usually multifaceted: heat plus charged particles plus transmutations. When results are less than satisfactory it is because they vary over a wide range and do not correlate well with one-another. Expectations and standards are rising. A few years ago researchers were pleased to see something happening in most runs. Now they want to see the same thing happen to within an order of magnitude. I think most participants would agree that the most exciting results are: * The Iwamura experiment and some replications of it in China. Iwamura will be published in the Japanese Journal of Applied Physics in July. Electronic preprints should be available in June. * Charged particles from similar thin film experiments by Miley. The buzzword seems to be flux -- not just loading but flux, and perhaps flux instead of loading. Some Chinese researchers have been remarkable work with the thinnest of resources. One of the conference sponsors was a remarkable person, Dr. D. R. Wang, president and owner of the Beijing Great-Wall Ti-GOLD Corporation, a small factory in a run-down working-class suburb of Beijing, that makes gigantic vacuum ion plating machines. He is sponsoring an experiment similar to Iwamura's, conducted by university graduate students who are camped out in his factory. Multilayer thin film diaphragms are fabricated and tested in situ. Excess heat is measured with an IR detector. This experiment was started last fall and it is just getting underway. It has not produced results yet, but it is the third and most ambitious version of the experiment, and the previous two versions worked. Most conference participants visited the factory in two buses. The experiment is described in a 2-page handout which I will scan and upload later on. I was very pleased to see that Ota & Fujii at Yokohama National University have finally observed excess heat several time runs in a row, with highest heat they have yet measured. Ota has struggled for six years to replicate the Patterson light water palladium-nickel results, and he is at last achieving notable success. This is the kind of heroic dedication and stick-to-itiveness cold fusion demands. There are not many researchers capable of it. McKubre was also favorably impressed by this. Last year after JCF-3 I expressed concerns about the rapid onset of the heat within three minutes after electrolysis begins. The experiment seems to have no significant incubation time, whereas Patterson and others have reported it takes at least 20 minutes to begin. I was worried that the rapid startup might indicate an instrument artifact, although the instruments are good and a dummy cell run in parallel never shows excess heat. McKubre set my mind at ease on this. He said a rapid startup is expected because the metal film is thin and Ota soaks the beads in warm electrolyte before electrolysis begins, which McKubre says is a good idea. . . . Beijing it is quite a place. It reminds me of Tokyo circa 1972. People like Bjorn Lomborg who pooh-pooh the population & pollution crises should be forced to live there for a year. I had never been in China before, and I know little about it, despite several courses in Chinese history and anthropology. They seem to have way too much history. It is a burden. Their problems may be summed up as a surfeit of extremities: too many people, too much history, extreme communism before and perhaps overdone capitalism now. And as a veteran traveler to the Orient I have long felt that a major problem with the Far East is that it is too far. That's my impression after 16 hours of air travel with the worst possible jet lag, a 12-hour difference. Despite the difficulty of totaling to China, there was pretty good turnout at the conference. About 130 participants and another 30 mainly from Russia who couldn't get visas, or couldn't make it for some other reason. There was a large contingent from Italy. Half of it was called back to Italy on Thursday by the Reigning Prince of Italian physics, Prof. Carlo Rubbia, who has recently commented in the newspapers that cold fusion is real and important. He wanted the latest information and apparently it could not wait until next week, so they rushed back to tell him. Peter Hagelstein was dragooned into chairing the next ICCF conference, ICCF-10. He was gratified to learn of the Lexus luxury automobile and the beach house that goes along with that job, until he discovered the Lexus is a matchbox toy and the beach is in Vladivostok. He needs all the help he can get, so rather foolishly, I have volunteered to assist him with the conference web page and such secretarial duties as I am capable of. When the abstracts are scrambled and the map shows the wrong hotel it will be my fault. Hagelstein and I think we should establish a more permanent ICCF organization and Web presence. We discussed some innovative and probably disastrous ways to organize a conference, such as posting all abstracts in advance and having all registered participants vote on which ones they would prefer to see in the oral sessions and which should be relegated to poster sessions. Traditionally such decisions are made by a secret committee in a smoke filled room, in a politically charged atmosphere. We thought a more democratic, overtly political, Internet based approach would be a breath of fresh air. The problem with all this is that it costs $50,000 to put on a conference, which is approximately $49,999 more than anyone in the field can scrape up at the moment. Because we have no money, we will have to rely on the Web to an unprecedented degree. Previous ICCF organizers have had little or no experience with computers. I do not mean they were unfamiliar with the Internet; I mean they use pen recorders instead of computers. Participants agreed that a two-year gap between conferences is too long, especially considering the actuarial tables, so the next meeting is tentatively scheduled for Autumn 2003, to be held in Boston or Washington, D.C. I recommended Gaithersburg, Maryland, a close-in suburb of Washington. Specifically, I would like to hold the conference across the street from the hot fusion lobby, the Fusion Power Associates. Peter thought that might be a little foolhardy. Given our funding situation we may end up holding it on the sidewalk in front of the Associates, in a sort of geriatric 1960s style Be-in or Happening. Perhaps they will let us plug in the overhead projector. If they are not good sports, and they call the police instead, we might adjourn and follow in General Lee's footsteps to the North. We could hold the conference on my property in Gettysburg. There is plenty of room in the barn, which now features an electrical outlet and is no longer on the verge of collapse. We have no running water or flush toilet, but there is plenty of room in the woods and fields to pitch tents. People in this business must be prepared to Make Sacrifices and Rough It. - Jed From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Sat May 25 13:35:50 2002 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id NAA30023; Sat, 25 May 2002 13:33:20 -0700 Resent-Date: Sat, 25 May 2002 13:33:20 -0700 X-Sent: 25 May 2002 20:32:47 GMT Message-Id: <5.1.0.14.2.20020525163222.03251d48 mail.DIRECTVInternet.com> X-Sender: jedrothwell mail.DIRECTVInternet.com X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 5.1 Date: Sat, 25 May 2002 16:32:44 -0400 To: vortex-L eskimo.com From: Jed Rothwell Subject: New Scientist: supernova threatens earth Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Resent-Message-ID: <"Rr-cM3.0.1L7.GK_xy" mx1> Resent-From: vortex-l eskimo.com Reply-To: vortex-l eskimo.com X-Mailing-List: archive/latest/47159 X-Loop: vortex-l eskimo.com Precedence: list Resent-Sender: vortex-l-request eskimo.com Status: O X-Status: Slightly off topic: http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99992311 - JR From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Sat May 25 15:06:20 2002 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id PAA23079; Sat, 25 May 2002 15:03:15 -0700 Resent-Date: Sat, 25 May 2002 15:03:15 -0700 X-Sent: 25 May 2002 22:02:42 GMT Message-Id: <5.1.0.14.2.20020525173336.03270e78 mail.DIRECTVInternet.com> X-Sender: jedrothwell mail.DIRECTVInternet.com X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 5.1 Date: Sat, 25 May 2002 18:02:27 -0400 To: vortex-l eskimo.com, From: Jed Rothwell Subject: Re: FW: Dr. Harold Aspden's Opinion on the Correa PAGD Invention In-Reply-To: <003001c1fdca$a8e84520$f27accd1 asus> References: <200205120324.g4C3OKa10274 host19.apollohosting.com> <5.1.0.14.2.20020514163455.03216598 mail.DIRECTVInternet.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Resent-Message-ID: <"xeuxa2.0.Xe5.Ye0yy" mx1> Resent-From: vortex-l eskimo.com Reply-To: vortex-l eskimo.com X-Mailing-List: archive/latest/47160 X-Loop: vortex-l eskimo.com Precedence: list Resent-Sender: vortex-l-request eskimo.com Status: O X-Status: Mike Carrell wrote: >To my knowledge, there have been no tests of Correa devices on the >premises of Gene's New Energy Research Laboratory.

I am not sure what "prime time" means in this context, but that would hardly be enough for a commercial product. Perhaps it would suffice for a prototype.

If they would cast their net wider, present the product competently, and make a reasonable business proposal they would find many honest investors. Assuming the thing works the way they claim it does, any sensible, experienced businessman could raise the necessary capital in one month. >Developing the technology requires a hand picked team of specialists to >whom the Correas would have to make a multi-year financial commitment to >order their lives to work on the task. I think that is nonsense. Developing technology requires hoards of unwashed misfits no one has ever heard of, who usually camp out in cheap motels, under desks, or in windblown shacks they build themselves on beaches in the middle of winter. They survive on pizza and noodles. Examples include Bill Gates in 1975, W. & O. Wright camped out at Kitty Hawk, and the grad students presently living in a room in the Great Wall Tri-Gold Corporation, who have not had time to go home and see their wives and families for weeks. The last thing you want are experienced specialists. They have already accomplished their life's goals. They will spend ten times more money and time than is necessary. You want people who do not know what is impossible. >Because of this, Correa demands technical and management control of the >enterprise . . . No sane businessman would give them that.

But it will have no intellectual property and no reason to exist. It will be pointless. Copies of the Russian Buran Space Shuttle are still around for that matter, but one could not be auctioned off for $6 million, and roof collapsed on another, leaving it under a pile of rubble and two dead bodies. The Buran will never be flown, and will never serve any purpose. Preserving them is a waste of money. - Jed From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Sat May 25 21:55:36 2002 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id VAA19370; Sat, 25 May 2002 21:47:48 -0700 Resent-Date: Sat, 25 May 2002 21:47:48 -0700 Message-ID: <3CF068E5.37A23167 ix.netcom.com> Date: Sat, 25 May 2002 21:47:33 -0700 From: Akira Kawasaki X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.76 [en]C-CCK-MCD NSCPCD472 (Win95; U) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: vortex-l eskimo.com Subject: Re: Back from ICCF-9 References: <5.1.0.14.2.20020525155438.03251d48 mail.DIRECTVInternet.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Resent-Message-ID: <"PMKlc3.0.ak4.pZ6yy" mx1> Resent-From: vortex-l eskimo.com Reply-To: vortex-l eskimo.com X-Mailing-List: archive/latest/47161 X-Loop: vortex-l eskimo.com Precedence: list Resent-Sender: vortex-l-request eskimo.com Status: RO X-Status: May 25, 2002 Vortex, Excellent preliminary overview of the ICCF-9 Conference by Jed! It has neatly capsulized the meeting. Needless to say, the event was positive as it should be. I was able to record the Conference in video after preliminary difficulties reaching an understanding with the ICCF-9 organizing body including Dr. Li. Dr. Mallove was also able to record the Proceedings after some clearing of the air. Before I left Beijing for home, the ICCF-9, i.e. Dr. Li's supporting student staff, was able to copy ten of my sixteen mini-DV cassettes prior to my leaving on Friday. This represents about twenty two hours of recording. I did not record the poster displays since this was very awkward to record the individual sheets adequately. However, the brief oral presentations of the posters were recorded. The ICCf-9 had stipulated that they have a copy of my recordings prior to leaving for home. And also a "deposit" was demanded to show good faith on my part for performance. The details were never clarified. Perhaps something was lost between their mentality and translation to English through the e-mail. So after each day's recording, I handed the taped cassettes to Dr. Li for duplication. Initially the demand was that I make the duplicates for their possession. This was ridiculous since I was not about to lug extra equipment to make copies at my time and expense for their use. It turned out that Tsinghua University's Physics Department did have a VCR but not any mini-DV equipment to run the tapes. So at the end of the second day of recording, I 'show and tell' the students how to transfer the tapes running in my camera to their VCR. I left the the whole equipment with them. There was an Owner's Manual to refer to if there were difficulties and my room number to call if needed. They did not call and they preferred not to read English. The students brought my equipment and duplicated tapes back the next morning in time to record the next session. The students were up all night duplicating the tapes. It seems they recorded the tapes to a video CD format. This seems to be the preferred video format in China and elsewhere in Asia for viewing video formats, pirated or otherwise. They are of lower resolution --- but it is so cheap to make. "Democracy (economic) in action. Not much chance of merchandising a commercial CD-Video here in the United States. It is not allowed (legally). It would not support the bloated, overpaid management style we have here. My fear in using the format is the loss of legibility of the viewgraph words. But they are difficult to impossible to read while on display anyway. By Friday, ten cassettes were duplicated and six more were yet to be done. So with an understanding and trust on a hand shake, I gave them two options. One, to leave the unduplicated tapes there in Beijing until such equipment was made available either through their acquisition eventually (or I could send a camera). OR, I will make the duplicates at home and send them the copies. They (including Dr. Li) trusted my hand shake. The students wanted the copies in video CD. They wanted to make available the ICCF-9 Proceedings on the Internet, which is fine with me. As I told them originally, my purpose was archival and not profit motivated. ICCF-9 spoke of unkept promises in the past in videotaping. What unkept promises? Anyway, more power to them to spread the information. I have not copyrighted any of the ICCF conference recordings, nor do I intend to. There were no demands made on Dr. Mallove's recordings and I think he was able take his tapes home without any hindrances. There was a very professional grade DV format videotaping on the first day or two of the session but this disappeared. I thought it was commissioned by the ICCF-9 for their archiving but this seems not to be the case. I had earlier e-mail inquired what they were planning to do in regard to possible media interests since the recent Taleyarkin news note. There were no replies. At least the cameraman using their equipment gave a thumbs up looking at the screen of my taping. I wonder who they represented. As for Beijing, It is obvious China is trying to transform itself infrasturcturally to a market economy while retaining its communistic roots. All in time for the Y2008 Olympics, I hear. I see the new, and I smell the old while walking the neighborhoods. Like Jed mentioned, it's like how Japan changed as it evolved after the war. The United States in turn, and other capitalistic economies as well, seems to be evolving into what I label as communistic capitalism, as contrasted with China's capitalistic communism, as the U.S. goes for the global reach of its merchandising of products and the race to control of resources. Whether for the good or evil, the twain of ideologies are coming to a meeting. It certainly speaks to lessening of diversity. My choices of soft drinks in Beijing was only Coke or Sprite. It was Bireley's (Pepsi) Orange Drink during my visit to Japan during the Occupation. At least Japan had other choices since they never went to communism like China did. The trip to the Great Wall was interesting. England has remnants of one itself on a smaller scale. To me, it spoke of how ingrained establishments pursues an idea beyond obsolescence before giving it up. Something that we are observing in our effort to have cold fusion recognized. I myself have been pursuing cold fusion experiments in my own 'garage' since 1999. I started on the protocol question and went on. And I am satisfied qualitatively that the effect is real and tallies with what is being presented at the ICCF Conferences, past and present. It is reproducible. So I have not been just a passive observer. Perhaps one day --- By the way, fusion was recognized about the same time as fission. The times being what it was, it was that fission was more amenable to the 'Bomb' than the fusion effect. At least that is my take at the moment. -AK- Jed Rothwell wrote: > Greetings All. > > I stumbled off the airplane from Beijing late last night.

Normal hearing thresholds are about 1.0E-16 watts/cm^2 ( 0 db). OTOH, about 1% of the population can hear sound levels as low as 1.0E-17 watts/cm^2 minus 5 db). For an EM signal of 1.0E-16 watts/cm^2: 1.0E-16 = E^2* (K*eo/uo)^1/2 where K is the dielectric constant of the cochlear fluid (~80) eo is the permittivity of space 8.85E-10 farad/cm, uo is the pearmeability of space 12.57E-5 Henry/cm, E is the field intensity volts/cm. Thus, E = [1.0E-16/(80*8.85E-10/12.57E-5)^1/2]^1/2 = 6.5E-8 volts/cm which is probably orders of magnitude below the signal levels of satellites. Thus the exercise is how much the modulated signals can jiggle the inner ear molecules to set up the perception of sound in a fluid that already has molecules agitated by the 0.025 ev thermal vibrations that the brain ignores in a quiet setting, or gets "masked" when there is a lot of EM "traffic"..

I think the implication is that the shrinkage occurs at molecule formation time and is a rersult of the multilayered geometry of some individual molecules. It is the inner layer or layers that is shrunk by the bond pressure from the outer layer or layers. However, that said, it is possible to further "shrink" any BN shell or other lattice by cooling it. If the shell were loaded with deuterium then this would be a form of "cryofusion". Cryofusion has reportedly been achieved by shock cooling loaded palladium. Unfortunately, if memory serves, the signature of the resultant fusion is neutron formation. This indicates to me that cryofusion may push the branching ratio in the opposite direction from other forms of cold fusion. Neutron free varieties of cold fusion of course appear to me to be far more practical or desirable.

I wonder if the so-called 'cold current' phenomena exhibited by Adams motors, if harnessable, could be used as the catalyst for such a reaction. The theory, in short, states that entropy is an intimately time-based process which has a counterpart - the much maligned (and much sought after) negative entropy. In the intrest of not straying too far off course, I'll simply say that much more info on it is available at the site http://www.geocities.com/theadamsmotor/ . If my thinking is correct (everyone here please add to or subtract from this thought as you see fit), exposing deuterium to a negentropic field would supercool it. Apparently this alone shoudl be enoug hto create a reaction, but I'm sure there are a LOT of Maxwell's Daemons to work out here. Cold fusion creates heavy helium, so if the deuterium could be made to fuse quickly and sufficiently enough, we would create a kind of superfluid bottle charged by its own energy radiation. Helium loses nil energy in the superfluid state, and it could be tapped as needed. Wierd fusion between OU device / fusion reactor / high-capacity battery. Does anyone have specs for how heavy helium performs as a superfluid? I hope I haven't wandered too far off the mental path for the tastes of the rest of the patrons on this list :) Cheers, Ryan H > I think the implication is that the shrinkage occurs at molecule formation > time and is a rersult of the multilayered geometry of some individual > molecules.

The "Microwave Source" generates quadrupolar electromagnetic radiation at 12 GHz ("EM wave"), which impinges on Superconductor A (a 1 inch diameter piece of YBCO, which is placed inside a dielectric Dewar containing liquid nitrogen), and is converted upon reflection into quadrupolar gravitational radiation ("GR wave"). The GR wave, but not the EM wave, passes through the "Double Faraday Cages," i.e., two doubly-nested normal-metal Faraday cages. In the far field of Superconductor A, Superconductor B (also a 1 inch diameter piece of YBCO inside a dielectric Dewar lled with liquid nitrogen) reconverts upon re ection the quadrupolar GR wave back into a quadrupolar EM wave at 12 GHz, which is then detected by the "Microwave Detector." The GR wave, and hence the signal at the microwave detector, should disappear once either superconductor is warmed up above its transition temperature (90 K), i.e., after the liquid nitrogen boils away in either Dewar." It is said on line 3. "Microwave Source" generates quadrupolar electromagnetic radiation at 12 GHz On caption of figure 1 it is also mentioned of "quadrupolar EM plane wave". A quadrupolar antenna could be something like this arrangement: o- o+ o+ o- But I did not found anywhere mentioning "quadrupolar electromagnetic waves". Instead I found "quadrupole EM resonators" which are used on mass spectrography and "RFQ" which are used on linear particle accelearators. Do you know how should be a quadrupolar electromagnetic wave and how to produce it? hamdi ucar From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Wed May 29 14:49:46 2002 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id OAA12920; Wed, 29 May 2002 14:44:38 -0700 Resent-Date: Wed, 29 May 2002 14:44:38 -0700 X-Authentication-Warning: eskimo.com: billb owned process doing -bs Date: Wed, 29 May 2002 14:44:35 -0700 (PDT) From: William Beaty To: vortex-l eskimo.com Subject: Re: bacterial weather control In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Resent-Message-ID: <"p3vHK1.0.o93.6lKzy" mx1> Resent-From: vortex-l eskimo.com Reply-To: vortex-l eskimo.com X-Mailing-List: archive/latest/47179 X-Loop: vortex-l eskimo.com Precedence: list Resent-Sender: vortex-l-request eskimo.com Status: O X-Status: On Wed, 29 May 2002, William Beaty wrote: > http://www.cnn.com/2002/WEATHER/05/27/bugs.weather/index.html > > Weird thought: ancient bacteria learn to spit ions from cloud droplets to > electrostatically induce droplet-mergers and rainfall... then they go on > to invent thunderstorms. Less weird: it is known that clouds get nucleated because the atmosphere is full of nano-crystals of salt which are launched as tiny droplets during the popping of small bubbles on the ocean surface. Maybe this process launches bacteria too. The salt crystals wander around and are occasionally rehydrated as they pass through a cloud and form a droplet. They would sometimes rain out onto the ocean again. In other words, if the ocean surface is a niche invironment, that niche might extend to the clouds via those floating NaCl nano-crystals. And maybe that weird pre-rain odor comes from bacterial spores in the clouds, not from fungal spores on the earth (the latter is the conventional explanation for pre-rain smell.) According to the above articles, rain water is not nearly so pure as people assume. (((((((((((((((((( ( ( ( ( (O) ) ) ) ) ))))))))))))))))))) William J.

Mallove, Editor-in-Chief, Infinite Energy www.infinite-energy.com INTRODUCTION There has been much misinformation circulating recently on the Vortex discussion group (vortex-l eskimo.com) about the work of my scientific colleagues and friends, Dr. Paulo and Alexandra Correa. They, and the companies or institutes they have founded - Labofex, Akronos, and ABRI (Aurora Biophysical Research Institute), are now located in the Toronto, Canada area. Their work has been published in Infinite Energy, in very limited part since 1996 (Refs. 1-11), but its most extensive and comprehensive form can be found on: http://www.aetherometry.com. Anyone reading this essay should try to acquaint themselves with this material, both the non-fee public material and the extensive technical works of Experimental Aetherometry, which are available there for downloading in PDF format (12-34). Since I have a significant hands-on understanding of the Correa's work, their character, and goals, I wish to present an antidote to some of the rather poisonous misinformation - or disinformation - that has appeared on Vortex. But first some background. My experience is foremost engineering, science journalism, and teaching, but I consider my highest calling that of a Scientist ‹ and, more globally, a teacher-Scientist via Infinite Energy magazine and hands-on investigation of anomalous physics claims. So while people such as Robert Park of the American Physical Society or Prof. Ronald M. Parker of the MIT Plasma Fusion Center may call themselves "Scientists" (with a capital S) they are nothing of the kind. People such as these and the VAST majority of so-called "scientists" (small s) -- have NO real ability or desire to use Science to challenge their possible pre-conceptions of the universe. They are textbook-hugging Technicians of Science -- little scientists (small s), capable in some instances (certainly not in Park's case!) only of recognizing (or themselves adding) additional bricks to the fortress of accepted knowledge. These bricks are of some value to be sure, for it cannot be denied that quite often these are the physical observations reported in the mainstream literature that form the tissue of basic science and serve as jump-off points for re-examining basic assumptions and finding (or not finding) flaws in the fundamentals. Of course, this gets more complicated by the fact that whenever these bricks are not appropriately placed or the wrong bricks are inserted, the entire edifice of science is put at risk. I entered the field of new energy and new physics beginning with the cold fusion announcement on March 23, 1989. In the spring of 1991, my book Fire from Ice: Searching for the Truth Behind the Cold Fusion Furor (John Wiley and Sons) was published. In it, I concluded that the evidence for cold fusion was "overwhelmingly compelling"‹ the very first book to render such an opinion. It took me the better part of a year, from March 23, 1989 to the First International Conference on Cold Fusion (in Salt Lake City, March 1990), to determine that the scientific evidence was STRONGLY trending in a positive direction in favor of the reality of the nuclear products, radiations, and the nuclear-scale excess heat. A year later the reality of cold fusion -- generically, "low energy nuclear reactions" (LENR) -- had been proved to my satisfaction. For over a decade I have been certain that nuclear-scale excess heat and actual nuclear products are real, in certain systems and under certain conditions in which hydrogen isotopes are placed in intimate contact with a variety of metallic and sometimes non-metallic substrates. I have been appalled and disgusted with how the scientific establishment and even some so-called new energy researchers have ignored, attacked, misrepresented, and generally marginalized this huge body of evidence. My horizons expanded further in 1993 when I was able to investigate with Jed Rothwell the HydroSonic Pump, manufactured by HydroDynamics, Inc. of Rome, GA. (I had originally met Jed thanks to a provocative quote of me in a cold fusion story by Bill Broad in the New York Times in the spring of 1991 -- the origin of Jed's involvement in cold fusion.) It is my opinion that the kilowatt-level excess power in the HydroSonic Pump is real, albeit not nearly as rigorously and as widely tested as the body of LENR results. It may or may not be the case that the excess power of the HydroSonic Pump has anything directly to do with LENR; only time will tell. In January 1995, we launched Infinite Energy magazine. This was after an ill-fated experience with the WGI publishing company, which allowed me to help found, as Editor-in-Chief, the magazine called "Cold Fusion"; the title was deliberately in quotes to denote the uncertain theoretical origin of the excess heat and other nuclear phenomena. Indeed, theoretical models that encompass ALL of the LENR nuclear and excess heat effects still are very difficult to pose, though many models have been put forth to explain this or that hypothetical LENR reaction. Infinite Energy has also kept watch over the parallel development by Dr. Randell Mills of so-called hydrino physics and revised quantum mechanics, which in-part began with electrolytic experiments announced in 1991 -- just after Fire from Ice came off the press.(12) (See Mills' work at www.blacklightpower.com) Since 1995, Infinite Energy and its associated New Energy Research Laboratory (NERL) has had the wider perspective of investigating other devices (that are not presumptively in the LENR field), which are claimed to produce excess power. Many of these contemporary devices turn out, after closer inspection and testing, to be non-functional -- incapable of supporting the claims of the purveyors or inventors. Recently, as an example, I personally investigated one such claim in New England, by a very good and sincere scientist. I showed him within a few hours of testing at his lab that his work was in error due to a serious input power mis-measurment. In some rare cases of hands-on investigation, we have encountered provable, outright fraud. In other cases we have proved anomalous excess power or anomalous physics. Some of these, including a particularly interesting purely electrical device of recent study, are under Non-Disclosure Agreements. Much more often we at NERL encounter incorrect measurements that were imagined by the inventors to support excess power claims. Two inventors once came to NERL with a rotary cone-shaped device that demonstrably did not produce excess power. (They had been misled by Brookhaven National Laboratory scientists, who did not take measurements on-site, into thinking they actually had something!) However, the inventors were so consumed by their belief in the device that they could not believe that our tests had proved them grossly wrong -- and they apparently continued to try to market said non-functional device! In still other cases, a tantalizing appearance of excess power arises, and it may not be reproducible or stable within one lab or in transfer to our lab ‹ for whatever reason. It may even be an error, such as some work we have labored at in the sonofusion area with a modified device based on Roger Stringham's reactor, or in the Pope-Perkins cavitation device. In some of these devices an unqualified "Not Real" is difficult to pronounce, since it is always possible that uncontrolled factors and parameters are not properly set to give a positive result during the test. We also encounter cases of data that appear to be very solid -- having been taken by impeccable and simple means by others of good repute, which strongly support excess power claims or other unusual processes, e.g. The "nuclear combustion" results published by Harry Taplin et al in Infinite Energy (minute percentage --5 ppm --lithium catalyst added to standard hydrocarbon combustion). The apparent excess power of CarboHydrogen gas by Wallman and Dammann is another favorable example. True enough, these latter two apparent augmented or excess energy processes have not been very widely reproduced -- in the laboratory sense. But several truck fleets do use the Taplin et al methodology and apparently profit from it in greater mpg and cleaner exhaust. Unlikely as it seems, there could be some mistakes in these systems, but their evident remarkable pollution abatement characteristics have merit in their own right. So the upshot of this extended introduction is that over the past 13 years I have learned much about what is or is not real in claims of scientific anomalies -- especially in the energy field, and what is *possibly* real or not. I have my own personal evaluation system, which is not infallible, but it is certainly infinitely superior to that of the Parks and Parkers of this world. Above all, I am honest. If I make a mistake and find it out, it gets published -- unlike the fraudsters and bureaucrats at MIT and DOE who passed off literally fraudulent null experiments against cold fusion, and then swept the whole matter under the rug. They are not even good "Technicians of Science." THE CORREAS At the Third International Symposium on New Energy held in Denver, CO in April 1996, I first had the opportunity to meet Dr. Paulo Correa, who spoke about his and his co-investigator Alexandra Correa's Pulsed Abnormal Glow Discharge (PAGD) Reactor. This is an evacuated glass tube with aluminum electrode plates which is set into auto-electronic discharge emission by associated and patented circuitry, and it produces reported excess electrical energy. Alexandra was not able to attend that meeting, but Dr. Correa gave an excellent keynote lecture at that time about the PAGD (which, incidentally, is still available on video from Infinite Energy). I was impressed with Dr. Correa's scientific demeanor and explanations. He copiously referenced the work of many others, but offered specific praise for Dr. Harold Aspden's work, which I had earlier encountered. Dr. Aspden is on Infinite Energy's Scientific Advisory Board and is a long-time scientific colleague of the Correas. (His web site is: http://www.energyscience.co.uk) At the 1996 Denver meeting, Dr. Aspden spoke on "Vacuum Spin as a new Energy Source" (also available on video). Dr. Aspden has offered earlier assessments of the Correa PAGD work -- see the recently posted 1996 Opinion: http://www.aetherometry.com/aspden_opinion.html Infinite Energy began publishing the work of the Correas on the PAGD soon after this Denver meeting and we also have continued to publish some of Dr. Aspden's work.(35,36) Readers should know that Paulo Correa is a Renaissance man, with a Ph.D in Cellular and Molecular Biology (Hematology) from the University of Toronto (1991); also from the same University an MSc in Biophysics (1987) and a BSc in Physics, Chemistry and Biology (1984). He has other degrees in Political Science and Sociology (HBA, 1979, York University, Glendon College), in Law (Bachelor), and piano and music composition. He is married to a Renaissance woman, Alexandra, who though without formal scientific training to the extent of Paulo, is thoroughly expert in the scientific studies and methodologies the two have pioneered together. She holds a BA degree in Psychology and Sociology from York University, Glendon College (1979). She is also an expert scientific glassblower and a brilliant visual artist (one look at the computer art on www.aetherometry.com is convincing, but her paintings in their home are joyous also). She is an experienced administrator and a manager of investment portfolios. As I said, the Correa work has been entirely self-financed since the early 1980s. The PAGD work and technology originated from studies of low voltage X-ray production in the mid-1980s, but their joint interest in the work of Reich and Tesla was of even earlier vintage. In this effort, in particular recent publications on the web, the Correas work with Dr. Malgosia Askanas, a mathematician, logician, computer programmer and website developer as well as a renowned puppeteer, who supports their physics analysis and software effort. Those who would like a very good overview of how the Correas' inventive talents and interests evolved over the years should read a very informative interview with the Correas, "Inventions That Did Not Change the World Because the World As We Know It Would Die of Joy," May 18, 2001, conducted for Akronos publishing by a colleague and friend, the architect Luís Balula who is also professor of Urbanism at the University of Lisbon. http://www.aetherometry,com/abri_int.html This sums up many issues for them - scientific, technical, philosophical, and business, but it is NO substitute for reading the technical monographs and other information on the web site. Those who would like to know about the Correas' recent work on a host of other aetherometric inventions (beyond the Stirling engine-HYBORAC device), should read the testimonial letters posted by me, Uri Soudak, and Prof. Arthur Axelrad of the University of Toronto at: http://www.aetherometry/letters.html The letters by me in 2001 and 2002 on observations of PAGD and other devices, are detailed and self-explanatory. Presently, Mr. Soudak and I are collaborating in what we hope will be an independent offshoot of the Correa work. The Correas have agreed to assign four rather astonishing inventions to a new corporate entity to be based in the U.S., provided acceptable investment conditions can be met. One of the inventions, the Stirling Engine-Hyborac has been discussed by the Correas in Infinite Energy (10,11). JED ROTHWELL's SLANDEROUS ATTACK My associate Jed Rothwell has never claimed to be a diplomat. He has in fact reveled in his reputation for being brutally frank in criticizing those whose new energy work he is assessing negatively -- whether from a technical performance or business perspective. We have had some arguments about this brashness and occasionally insulting behavior, especially on those occasions where Jed has been found not to be well-informed about the facts. And, Jed thinks that because some new energy experiment observed in private has not been replicated elsewhere it might as well not be discussed or heard about -- in particular, when it comes to non-CF excess energy reports. I totally disagree. When scientists, such as the Correas, begin to show their experiments to others in private demonstrations, the reports of these demonstrations have great significance. Others may not wish to believe them, and that is fair enough. But that does not mean that the observations by competent observers and measurers have no significance, as Jed maintains. He has set up a completely irrational standard. The history of science is filled with small groups of people observing first-hand remarkable phenomena (such as meteorite falls), reporting them, and then working to enlighten others by publication and other means. The Correas have done this in spades: A. By allowing others to test their PAGD device and demonstrating Aetherometry inventions to others, B. By publishing basic experiments and theoretical foundations of their aether models, and C. By building an extensive patent portfolio. If, after hearing of these reports no groups take sufficient interest in, say, building their own PAGD reactors, that is too bad, but it is the way the world works right now. Aspden for one is quite clear that the PAGD patents give far more information than is ordinarily given in patents, and this would lead others to be able to replicate the PAGD if they chose to. So, since the mid 1990s there has been publicly available information to reproduce PAGD physics, should anyone wish to do so. I wish to openly investigate new scientific measurements with a more global impact on technology, while it is Jed's almost exclusive interest to conduct business in the cold fusion field. I certainly share his interest in helping to launch profitable businesses in cold fusion and more broadly the new energy field, but it is not my sole interest. I am very interested in learning as much about the truth of the workings of this universe as I can -- its physics and life processes -- which I believe the scientific establishment continues to obscure in gross fashion. Cold fusion/LENR is only one example of how wrong and corrupt the scientific establishment has become. Jed seems to think most textbook physics and biology is as solid as a rock -- and going in the right direction. I disagree. Jed has made it a point, at least within the cold fusion field, to insist that people -- especially "skeptics" -- READ THE LITERATURE describing experiments, before they make judgments against cold fusion, or anything else. Therefore, I was very disturbed to read a recent posting of his on Vortex (May 1, 2002, 9:37 a.m., "Re: MEG measurement errors?") in which he blurted out a highly offensive response to my remark that he had "burned his bridges" with the Correas: *** EM: . . . and you have unfortunately and carelessly burned your bridges with them (the Correas). JR: It was not careless. It was a calculated act, the culmination of many years of watching them in disgust. I stand by it. There are three possibilities: 1. They are liars and they have faked their results. 2. They are insane. 3. They are morally depraved monsters who withhold vitally important technology. *** I find it astonishing and reprehensible that Jed did not include a 4th logical possibility: "4. They are sincere scientists who might have made a mistake or series of mistakes such that all or part of their work could be in error." That omission shows how Jed lets his passions against two particular new energy researchers get out of hand. Presumably Jed's supposition "#3" means that the Correas would have what they say they have, and that what *I* have stated I observed in the Correa lab was real. But in that case, Jed suggests that since their business plans and disclosures ‹ what little he knows of them (!) - are not to his liking, because they "withhold vitally important technology," the Correas are "morally depraved monsters." Those are very strong words, loaded with bile. It is the same obsession to hate the Correas that prevented Jed from considering still a 5th obvious possibility - that he may well be wrong in all of the previous possibilities he enunciated, and the Correas may well be right about their scientific findings and technologies without being "morally depraved monsters." Obviously, suppositions, #1 and #2, are repugnant to me and demonstrably in error. Either supposition would suggest that I, Dr. Aspden, Professor Axelrad, and Uri Soudak (former CTO of Israel Aircraft Industries) lack the most basic ability to discriminate from gross fraud and "insanity" the personalities, experiments, and research of the Correas when exposed to these over a long period of time. Jed says he has "watched them for years in disgust." Translation: He has "watched them for years" not doing what HE, with his limited understanding, insists that they should do -- and if they don't do it, they are "morally depraved monsters." That is a term I have not heard Jed apply even to the hot fusioneers at MIT. I am appalled that Jed as an editor at I.E. would, without qualification, undercut my seasoned judgment in my prolonged investigation and publication of the Correas' work. Toward what end he thinks the Correas would even attempt to "fake their results" escapes me, especially since he knows -- or should know -- that the Correas are entirely self-financed, and that they have clearly stated to all potential funding sources that iron-clad testing by the potential investor in the PAGD, aether devices, or any of their other technologies would be freely offered to serious parties. Believe me, if anyone had been financially screwed by the Correas, I would be among the first to hear about it. I have heard such complaints about several well-known purveyors of alleged free-energy devices, e.g. the late Stanley Meyer. As far as I am concerned, the Correas have among the highest interpersonal ethical standards of any people I have ever met. Finally, it should be obvious to even a relatively casual reader of their papers that they have assembled a huge body of data and well-integrated assessment on the theoretical and experimental levels. I should know, because I have read and understood all they have published in IE, plus more. I am still learning from these prodigious publications on www.aetherometry.com, which in single-sided form are a bound stack about 6-inches thick (through Ref. 34). How preposterous to imagine that such a mountain of well-integrated work should be aimed at a fraudulent scheme! The work could be all wrong -- it is not -- but it is not fraud. There are far easier ways to commit fraud. Furthermore, I have made my own personal measurements of the Reich-Einstein Experiment thermal anomaly (38). Now back to the outrageous point about being "morally depraved monsters" -- i.e. if the Correa technologies are valid. Our exchange later goes on: EM: Again, there are some people, such as the Correas, who are far more interested in science than in commercialization and "changing the world." They have their own standards and agenda. They don't feel they owe anything to "humanity." JR: But they do. Everyone does. People who do not contribute to society have no right to eat. Society -- meaning farmers, shopkeepers, garbage collectors, doctors and the rest of us -- keeps the Correas alive. If they are not interested in commercialization, or they do not care for money, they should give away the technology. Countless scientists have done that in the past, and earned their keep. First of all, the Correas have already contributed MASSIVELY to society with their research, their publications, and patents. They have given that much, and that is far more than say Michelson-Morley have "given." It is infinitely more than the hot fusioneers -- the takers -- have given. The Correas have given profusely of experimental results that I believe to be absolutely crucial to revising the morass of modern physics. If "society" is so depraved and stupid as not to acknowledge these experiments (as it was and still is with Wilhelm Reich) or even to be interested in them, does that say more about society or about the Correas? I think it says more about society -- the same "society" that for 13 years has organized itself toward the objective of killing off and ignoring cold fusion/LENR, no matter what evidence or entreaties have been given to it. This is not the first time that society has failed to accept or at least properly investigate matters of overarching importance, as Jed well knows. I think he is suggesting that the Correas might be "morally depraved monsters" because their approach and terms for offering their inventions to society do not meet with his approval. This is preposterous. It is fair enough to criticize or try to change business strategy, requests for funding, and fears about how society would react to the introduction of this or that invention. I have had such intense discussions with the Correas myself. But it goes beyond the pale to say that people might be "morally depraved monsters" when they are NOT, in fact, withholding but are REVEALING astonishing experiments (published in part in IE and much more extensively in the aetherometry monographs (13-34). These should be of the highest priority for society to investigate. More of our exchange of May 1: JR: This situation would be a moral outrage if the Correas claims were true, but I do not think they are, so it is only a farce. EM: Also you should acknowledge that you do not have enough scientific understanding to evaluate their work . . . JR: Anyone with a high school level knowledge of physics can evaluate their work. They claim their device produces excess energy. They claim they have kept battery packs running indefinitely. I can understand that easily! The details that supposedly make it work are over my head, but they are irrelevant. The details are NOT irrelevant. We are not just talking about the PAGD, which has been extensively discussed in IE. We are talking about basic experiments that compel reconsideration of the aether -- upon which the PAGD surely operates. If Jed had put any effort at all into downloading and examining the Correa monographs, he would have known otherwise. Instead he pontificates on Vortex, shoots from the hip, and suggest that the Correas' claims are a "farce." The farce is Jed's behavior in this matter. This is Jed's attitude, concisely summarized from his May 1 posting: "I do not want to be associated with people in any of these categories. The Correas' behavior over the last decade convinces me that even if they have something, they will never reveal it or allow others access to it, so they might as well have nothing. They are tantamount to a fraud. Like Moray and so many others, they are determined to take this technology to the grave with them. They will succeed in that, and nothing else." This is abhorrent and I completely reject the dangerous polemic of dismissing historical research on devices that have been documented, observed and testified to by many, and later carefully considered and experimented with by excellent scientists such as the late Dr. Paul M. Brown (39). To write, "They (the Correas) are tantamount to a fraud," is positively revolting and without foundation. More: EM: They (the Correas) have resurrected the line of work that Tesla and Reich began. JR: I do not believe Tesla or Reich either. This reminds me of Nobel Laureate Steven Weinberg's assertion in the New York Review of Books a few years ago that he did not "believe" in cold fusion even though, as he jokingly remarked, there was more reason to "believe" it than stories from religious works. Jed's ludicrous assessment of Reich and Tesla has as much value as Weinberg's assessment of cold fusion, namely, zero value. Another observation from this exchange: Jed wrote: "These articles are not couched in normal scientific terminology. The scientists I have spoken with cannot make head or tail of them. Perhaps the articles are correct, but there is no way the rest of us can judge them, or learn from them. It would be a good idea for the Correas to try to express these concepts in more conventional terms. New scientific breakthroughs have often been expressed in older terms, even when the breakthroughs made the older terms obsolete. See, for example, Franklin's descriptions of electricity, or Dyson's restatement of Feynman's laws." I do not know the identities of the scientists with whom Jed spoke about this, who allegedly "cannot make head or tail of them," but I can safely say that they, like Jed, evidently did not put much (or any) effort into studying the monographs. I have not taken a poll of other readers, and I could not care less about polls to begin with, but I can assure you that the new terminology that has been introduced by the Correas is very well defined and the arguments are clear -- not always simple, but clear. Scientific arguments that utterly dismantle a prevailing physics paradigm cannot be simple, but again: Taken step-by-step they are clear. Only laziness or stubborn disbelief would prevent a good scientist from digging deeply into these works. There is much repetition in the abstracts and introductions to each monograph to properly link it with earlier and succeeding monographs. The monographs generally have two components: A. Experiments (when the monograph concerns experiments directly, as most do) and B. Theoretical arguments that motivate and link the experiments. The monographs are not always easy sailing, only because we are dealing here with concepts of aether structure and activity that is very alien to the fictions and omissions that 20th Century physics has given us -- such as Einsteinian relativity, the Big Bang, the notion that all energy is electromagnetic, that all potentials are mechanical, etc. I dare say that relativity itself (SRT and GRT) is in some sense more difficult to understand, especially since these are paradoxical and wrong, as numerous critics who have nothing to do with the Correas have found. To say, "These articles are not couched in normal scientific terminology," is not a useful or appropriate observation. It is misleading. Jed states, "Perhaps the articles are correct, but there is no way the rest of us can judge them, or learn from them." That is not true, and certainly not in my case, even though I cannot claim to have mastered the more difficult modules -- yet. But I am proceeding in that direction as I understand the theoretical models and experiments more. I have formed a very strong impression that this material may well be essential for a full understanding of LENR -- how could it be otherwise for such pervasive energy and charge phenomena? Dr. Correa himself has told me that they have conducted experiments that successfully increased up to 30% the intensity of the radiation emitted by defined radionuclides, as per aetherometric predictions. I would agree that one cannot learn from the monographs if one does not read them. Or if one attempts to read them, one will fail to understand anything IF one resists the use of required new terms -- e.g. "ambipolar massfree charge," and "latent heat" -- to describe and characterize the functioning of the aether. New terminology is part and parcel of scientific revolutions and is, in part, why such revolutions are difficult. New terminology relating to previously not accepted concepts must be introduced. In the Correas' monographs, it is adequately referenced to the old views. Aetherometry has much new terminology, because so much must be revised. When one reads these articles, one does not necessarily agree with them a priori, of course. As in reading any other frontier research, one must "temporarily suspend disbelief" so that the integrated new concepts can be assessed with respect to the described experiments in proper relation to each other. Jed continued to post his harangues, taking cheap shots at the Correas at every opportunity, e.g. this from May 3: "...All that has been published [about free energy devices] are nonsensical reports written in double-talk that evades the obvious issues, such as self sustaining performance, plus a bunch of crazy theories written in terminology that makes no sense to trained scientists -- like the Correa stuff. At least Mills uses terms the most people understand, and he talks about particles that everyone agrees do exist. If cold fusion had no better evidence than this, I would not believe a word of it." He implies that to discuss new physics properly one should "talk about particles that everyone agrees do exist." That's absurd for several reasons: A. Mills very definitely talks about entities ("orbitspheres" and subatomic disks of charge), which conventional physics does not acknowledge at all -- further what is wrong with postulating new entities (it's done all the time in mainstream physics)? and B. By saying that the Correa "stuff" is "crazy theories written in terminology that makes no sense to trained scientists," he implies that he can understand that these theories are "crazy" just by sampling some opinions from "trained scientists" who think that the Correa terminology "makes no sense." This is appalling and anti-scientific ignorance, period. The curious thing about all this is that neither latent heat nor ambipolar energy are necessarily new notions. Latent heat is a physical reality acknowledged openly by meteorologists, chemists and biochemists in basic textbooks! According to the Correas, Plyutto et al first suggested the term ambipolar (back in the 60's) to describe the dual polarity ion mechanism responsible for the anomalous cathode reaction forces in vacuum arcs. When Aspden invokes the existence of quons that have mass but escape the constraints of Relativity he is referring to the same energetic reality which the Correas designate as massfree charge. If the charge were monopolar, like leptonic and baryonic charges are, and as are the pairs of virtual muons in Aspden's theory, then there would have been no need for any other term than monopolar. But what they claim they have discovered is that this radiated charge is not just noninertial or massfree, but also ambipolar or phenomenologically neutral. Is that so hard to comprehend? The "RF" RED HERRING Recently there has been a tempest on Vortex by some who have evidently not read Monograph AS2-05 (Ref. 18) and other supporting monographs. There has been a suggestion that "RF" from local sources might explain the Stirling engine/Hyborac performance in References 10 and 11. The outdoor experiments in AS2-05 prove that heat developed in an ORAC originates in significant part from within the inner Faraday cage, which then drives the Stirling engine with sensible heat. I forwarded some of the RF tempest to the Correas, and this was their response regarding TV and radio towers, etc.: "Yes, one could do it with a maser, somehow hidden from sight in the middle of a large yard and targeting the box. But why bother? Isn't nature enough and that which WE are studying and hoping to use? As you saw and the videos demonstrate [Videos that I have viewed - EFM], the HYBORAC was placed in the middle of the yard, in the same approximate location for days and nights. There are no radio towers around, and the nearest TV and microwave communications tower was built three years ago (before the AS2-05 experiments) and stands ca 5/6 km away. There were no masers or hidden sources of radiation. Nor were there any when Reich discovered the thermal anomaly in Faraday cages and ORACs. From our latest work and calculations, the Stirling Motor was observed to perform work in the range of 20 to 500 mW (it beats many a CF cell's claims). Putting the efficiency at near 8% (see our last Stirling report on nighttime operation) and the delta-T at 80% of a To-T value of 30°C, one easily realizes that the sensible heat evolved inside the boxes cannot account for the work of the Stirling motor. Evidently, its action must tap the latent heat of the box, likely acting upon the top of the box as a molecular pump that promotes conversion of latent into sensible heats. In other words, sensible heat alone cannot account for the Stirling action." "But if one intelligently tried a theoretical model where it did, then one would not need to take recourse to radio towers or a fraudulent emission of RF (or microwave) - it would suffice indeed to consider nature herself: there is release of heat from the ground and the atmosphere (the natural conversion of ozone back into oxygen; the loss of heat from settling water vapor, etc) ; and last, but not least, since it deploys in the 50 to 200 plus GHz region, there is the so-called synchrotron emission of the elements. But then, all of these processes are driven by massfree ambipolar radiation and involve the conversion of said radiation into latent and sensible heats, and the conversion of latent into sensible heat. And, as we have amply shown, the major beacon of radiation in all this is the sun, and what it emits is ambipolar electric longitudinal massfree radiation, not transverse electromagnetic radiation!" "The call for proximity to an RF tower or for some fraudulent explanation in an experiment (the Stirling HYBORAC) that is this simple for anyone to set up is not a mere matter of admitted ignorance in 'RF matters' (yes, the ignorance is there, vain and convinced); it is an intentional and reckless discrediting of our work with complete disregard for the simple and obvious facts, as well as the consequences of what is being said and to whom. Anyone can see the diurnal pattern of the temperature difference we reported outdoors and drive a Stirling Motor the way we described it in our papers. A 7-year old can do it. And with a bit of reading and understanding, anyone will arrive at the same conclusions from the experiment. Reich did and we have: the sun, the atmosphere and the earth are all sources and transducers of ambipolar electric energy and storage houses of latent heat. The Stirling moves with sensible heat, not latent heat or electric energy. If there is an excess of heat inside HYBORAC or ORAC boxes, this heat did not get there as sensible heat or as electromagnetic radiation. It got there either as electric ambipolar radiation or as non-electric energy absconded and radiated by molecular substrates (ie latent heat), or as both, as it turns out. And once there, the simple rules of transformation of these two types of Aether energy into local blackbody photons (in ANY frequency range, whether RF, microwave, IR, visible, etc) go into play." "It is not very complicated. There is no such hybrid as RF because the frequencies being measured are those of the local photons (remember the Fc function of induction coils in papers AS2-13 to 16?) and not of the ambipolar radiation responsible for their local production and for the nonlocal transmission of the photon-stimulus. Moreover, in the useless lingo of electromagnetic engineers, the term RF does NOT designate, for instance, microwave radiation. Yet, for one to explain the thermal anomaly inside ORACs, say, within accepted theory, a difference of 3°C, on the basis of electromagnetic radiation, one would have to be adding to the sub-IR microwave radiation in the environment a substantial electromagnetic radiation greater by 4 GHz than the, say, temperature baseline of 0 to 20°C (in the thousands of GHz range); note that Aetherometry argues instead that for a 3°C difference the step-up radiation should have a frequency of 62.5 GHz, (near the oxygen synchrotron line). Because of the spherical propagation of the photon-producing ambipolar wave, the source would have to be in very close proximity to the HYBORAC in order for sensible heat photons to produce in a molar-statistical fashion such a temperature effect, let alone differences of 30°C. Then, you may as well bake the whole arrangement inside a microwave oven at 3Ghz with a thousand watt dissipation..." ***END of Part 1*** From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Wed May 29 20:17:03 2002 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id UAA01830; Wed, 29 May 2002 20:15:44 -0700 Resent-Date: Wed, 29 May 2002 20:15:44 -0700 User-Agent: Microsoft-Entourage/9.0.1.3108 Date: Wed, 29 May 2002 23:17:49 -0700 Subject: The Correas - Part 2 of 4 From: "Eugene F.

It comprises the study and measurement of the aether -- not the static, electromagnetic "luminiferous aether" of the 19th Century, but a dynamic non-electromagnetic aether that is amenable to measurement through the deflection of electroscope leaves, mercury thermometers, Geiger-Muller tubes, oscilloscopes, Tesla coils, Faraday cages, and other commonly available instruments and circuit elements. Of course, anyone who is a close-minded believer in Einsteinian relativity -- the Special or General theories -- would find little or no reason to investigate Aetherometry -- any more than someone absolutely convinced of the impossibility of LENR would find a reason to look into the evidence for LENR. The Experimental Aetherometry volumes are broken down into down-loadable monographs, numbering a total of 21 monographs so far released, AS2-01 through AS2-17c (Refs. 13-34). These are grounded in the experimental program of the Correas to understand the physically measurable and observable effects of the aether -- electrical, thermal, light, biological, etc. So, if one wishes to examine these modules from a purely experimental point of view, one can do just that. The Correas have chosen to integrate and motivate these published experiments by referencing theoretical arguments from their Aetherometric Theory of Synchronicity (AToS), which has been formulated in seven volumes that they later anticipate publishing. (These are enumerated in the catalog posted on their web site.) These theoretical discussions are, on many occasions, the more difficult aspect of the monographs. But remember, the experiments can stand alone - they do NOT need to be motivated by theory, but the AToS Theory evolved naturally from them. The experiments are fundamentally simple in conception. If some rare establishment physicist wants to try to "explain the effects away" or explain them in terms of conventional physics, so be it and -- good luck on a long journey! (As with LENR, such physicists would ordinarily not even look at the data, i.e. "look through the telescope.") Another feature of the monographs are the extraordinary references to historical scientific material, much of which has been conveniently forgotten by the mainstream. How many of you, for example, know that the "photoelectric effect" -- for which Einstein was granted a Nobel prize -- was originally known as the Hallwacks effect -- dating back to 1887? Guess what! The so-called "photoelectric effect" does NOT operate as the mainstream suggests it does, and the Correas have proved that point with an electroscope, the instrument with which the effect was first investigated. (Perhaps, in fairness to truth, the Correas will eventually be rewarded with a Nobel prize and Einstein's will be posthumously withdrawn! Hah!). There is also, of necessity, copious reference to the experimental work of Wilhelm Reich, and to Reich's theories. Reich (1897-1957) was evidently a brilliant scientist and medical doctor, quite the opposite of the false caricature presented by the criminals at CSICOP, Time Magazine, and in the FDA of the 1950s. (Read my editorial in Issue No.37 of Infinite Energy.) The Correas take Reich's observations as a starting point, and perform their meticulous detective work to reveal the properties of the aether. But the Correas do not give Reich a free pass. Far from it. They point out precisely how the extraordinary pioneer Reich went wrong in some of his conclusions. The monographs thus unfold like a detective story -- almost literally. The final chapters of that story, which we are all eager to see (the final monographs called out in the catalog and not yet posted, AS2-18 through AS2-24), are the unraveling of the orgone motor mystery, which has resulted in Aether-driven motors at the Correa laboratory. These have no electrical power source input save the Aether, as my on-site investigation determined. (Reich was apparently never able to make such a motor, but the Correas have done so -- again, read the Letters of Support.) If an asteroid strike wiped out Toronto tomorrow, however, I am confident that sufficiently motivated scientists could, albeit with difficulty, make their way again to such Aether Motors, given the foundations laid out in AS2-01 through AS2-17c. The Correas declare at the very beginning of their web site: "The material made available by AKRONOS Publishing at this site is not for everybody. It is written for those who have a minimum of scientific, technical and philosophical experience, and who can and do think and discern for themselves." Indeed, there is much philosophical discussion blended into these monograpahs, but it is not oppressive and intruding. It is separate enough so that it can be ignored, if one wishes. I personally found the philosohpical remarks stimulating, making me want to learn more about the lives and thinking of the figures who are referenced. I admit woeful ignorance of these old works, but if the findings of the Correas have precursors in such thought, that is of great interest. The Correas provide this commitment: "AKRONOS Publishing intends to continue publication of the works of the Correas though Volume 4 of Experimental Aetherometry, and the full collection of The Aetherometric Theory of Synchronicity - as well as their work at Labofex [the PAGD work]. This is a long-term commitment to publish the fruits of a few lifetimes of research into physics, culture, the nature of Life and the Cosmos." They suggest in earnest with a playful spirit, "These pages are meant to be approached as if they were a green field of grass, replete with things such as poppies, butterflies, dragonflies, and buttercups." To get an overview of the breadth of this work, one should simply read the abstracts (no down-loading fees required), which are provocative in the claims that are made. It is of course essential to READ the monographs to decide whether the experimental case for the claims has been made. After scanning the abstracts, it is a good idea to read the introductions and then the "Discussion" and/or "Conclusion" material at the end of each monograph. Later one can dig into the central body of writing, which in most monographs is copiously illustrated with graphical material and depictions of experiments. Alexandra's colored computer artwork for the title page of each monograph establishes the theme for that segment. Some highlights of what the Correas claim to have found, taken, in their own words, from the website interview earlier referenced: The Claimed Discoveries of the Correas Enumerated: Electron Structure/Orgone Motor _______________________________ * AC: "... we also cracked the structure of the electron and rediscovered the functioning principle of Reich's Orgone Motor. Then we improved upon it." Superimposition of Aether Energy Streams ________________________________________ * PC: "The discovery of the principle [of the Orgone motor] at the bench took place in mid-1998. By the spring of 1999 we had developed our improved version. Since then we have steadily increased its performance. We have succeeded in driving it from a superimposition of the aether energy streams from the ORAC, with the earth, a body of water, living bodies, atmospheric antennas, vacuum cavities, and so on, employing or not vacuum tubes for this purpose." Relation Between Heat and Electricity/ Massfree vs. Massbound Charge ____________________________________________________________________ * PC: "... one of the critical developments in Aetherometry - a new understanding of the relation between heat and electricity, and in particular between what is called "latent heat" and electricity. But by then we had already cracked the structure of the electron and the functions that associate its mass-energy with any of a variety of physically distinct kinetic energies. Effectively this leap permitted us to understand the simplicity and reality of massless charge, as opposed to electrons or any other form of massbound charge, whether leptonic or hadronic." Biological Energy Fields ________________________ * PC: "...Yet, as Reich pointed out much later, how can we reconcile the tens of thousands of electrostatic volts which an insulated human body can develop by contact or loss of contact with the ground, with the millivoltages detected at the tissue interfaces or over erogenous zones? But if this problem itself was difficult enough, there are still two other angles to this. Indeed, the electrostatic potentials may not be what is indicative of a specifically biological energy, a bioelectricity. They may well be the result of capacitative functions of charge resulting from the interaction of the body with the ground, the earth, just as the millivolt potentials are established at fluid junctions by limited ion fluxes... as we see it, the primary biological energy fields are neither electrostatic nor electromagnetic, even if there is in fact a derived electromagnetic field." Massfree Electric Energy / The Nature of "Orgone" Energy ________________________________________________________ * AC - "...The heat or thermal photons emanating from the body are a clue to the nature of the underlying massfree electric energy that is both drawn into the body and discharged by it... The electromagnetic field or aura of the body, we were saying, is the result of a more fundamental massfree and electrically ambipolar field that produces it. It is this massfree electric energy that we claim constitutes in fact the true meaning of orgone energy - yet, even this electrically ambipolar field itself is also the result of a still more fundamental form of massfree energy, nonelectric and nonelectromagnetic." Explanations of Natural Phenomena: Biological Energy, Cloud Formation, Intrinsic Potential Energy of Molecules, OR Effect of the ORAC, Energy Content of Water, Gravity, Anti-Gravity _______________________________________ * PC - "...whether insulated or not, the action of the body is always to draw charge by contact with metallic objects charged with either polarity, and draw the kinetic energy of charge from the same objects through the radiative field of the body... If the ambipolar electric field were the dominant form of biological energy - and not the result of a transformation from a still more fundamental form of energy, neither electric nor electromagnetic - then the action of the body by contact, and in the absence of 'friction' with the ground, should charge metallic objects and, more important than any such residual rectification, the approach of the body, insulated or not, to the electroscope should not depress the charged state of the latter independently of electric polarity. Since none of this is observed, and since we demonstrate most rigorously that the action of the ORAC, the so-called orgone effect, it too is neither electric, nor electromagnetic, we are led to conclude that the most primitive layer of massfree energy which is specific to the living pertains to a realm others have referred to as latent energy, though no one presently knows exactly what its physical expressions are, nor how to connect or link them. This is what Aetherometry ties together into a stunning conclusion - there are all types of ways in which we can measure this fundamental nonelectric and nonelectromagnetic energy from which arise all the massfree electric and the 'tertiary' electromagnetic effects, and these paths have - up until now - remained unexplored with respect not just to action of the fundamental energy field of living systems, or the electroscope, but also with respect to such basic natural phenomena as cloud-formation, the intrinsic potential energy of molecules, the OR effect of the ORAC, the energy content of water and so on. This is what ultimately led us to understand the nature of both gravity and antigravity, or Celeritas, in a new way..." Fundamental Nature of Charge ____________________________ * AC: "...How can all these researchers speak so much of the electron and have so little idea of what the beast is actually like? Another slight of hand is how they unconsciously slide from using the term electron to the term charge, as if they were interchangeable! We had to make both the mathematical and semiological languages of science become more precise, more exacting. The phenomenon of charge is more universal and fundamental than that of inertia or mass." Relation Between Charge and Inertia / Conversion of Mass into Length! _____________________________________________________________________ * PC - "...It would take us two years to fully disengage its [the electron's] structure - the mystery of its wave structure and how and why it changes between electric and electromagnetic configurations, as well as decode its volumetric aspects, and the relation between charge and inertia. No one at present has any idea of the actual electron structure. We intend to publish this material very soon - since this is ground that our modern physicists purport to understand and know full well, and yet do not. Our departure point was a confrontation of Aspden's brilliant theory of the electron and the quon particle with the conventional 'understanding' of the electron. In the process, we came to finally understand the conversion of mass into length that Reich had proposed as early as 1944, and which we had cracked numerically, but without fully understanding it, in 1991..." Structure of Proton, Electron, and the Hydrogen Atom ____________________________________________________ PC: "...This opened the doors to the electromagnetic fine structure of the electron mass-energy, which inevitably led us to a new structure also of the proton and the hydrogen atom. Then came the problem of charge - which for years had been dogging us: how to understand charge? How to reduce it to fundamental dimensionality? How to extract the electric structure? Is charge always associated with inertia? Why are electrodynamic anomalies only observed in open or interrupted circuits? How to understand the coupling of kinetic energy to the mass-energy of an electron? Aspden here too, on these topics, wrote many beautiful pages that were of great inspiration to us. His notion that massbound charge resists acceleration because of an electric property of inertia which obeys conservation of the carrier's mass-energy was cardinal for our understanding." Ambipolar Longitudinal Waves -- NOT Electromagnetic Waves -- Propagate Light Across Space; Light as a Local Phenomenon _________________________________________ AC - "...Effectively, modern physics knows nothing about these energy realms - it knows nothing about electric energy because it is ignorant of massfree electricity, nothing about gravity because it reduces it to mere questions of topological description, concentration of mass and geometry, and nothing either about energy capable of developing negative gravity. Even electromagnetic energy - the best known realm of physical science - is very poorly understood. We contend, for instance, that, aside from locally assembling a photon, there are no electromagnetic waves propagating light across space. Light is always produced locally in response to the propagation of an electrically ambipolar, longitudinal wave." The Intellectual Poverty of "Reichians" _______________________________________ * PC: "...The smashing majority of the followers of Reich have kept knowledge of the Aether and Orgone separate from any sensible contact with the scientific process, and thoroughly amalgamate the concept of Orgone energy to simplistic mysticisms. And official science is only too happy to comply. One of the targets of our work is to end this charade. To denounce it and expose it. It is neither life nor knowledge that this situation befriends. Confusion only breeds confusion." State Sponsored "Knowledge" (Note: This has been observed in spades during the cold fusion war. - EFM) ___________________________ * AC: "..The modern way is to validate knowledge by letting it be selected by market forces, supported by the State with the public purse and reassessed by peers protecting vested interests - knowledge has been, by that very same fact, made subordinate to human values that are set above life, to intermediaries that are in fact foreign to science and impose these values upon its quest. What we propose with Aetherometry is that knowledge only matters if it serves Life, if it serves as a line of escape from institutionalized Survival." THE AETHEROMETRY MONOGRAPHS -- A VERY Brief Guide to Experiments and Conclusions There is NO Substitute for full examination of this work, which is not easy. However, one can at least read the abstracts that are public (non-fee) and get a good idea of the gist of each one. I thought it would be useful to point out some of the high points and the kinds of *EXPERIMENTS* that are embodied within each monograph. Experimental Aetherometry, Volume 1 AS2-01 Nonequivalence between work performed by charge against gravity and the electric energy of the same 'charge gas' The gravitokinetoregenerative phenomenon) ________________ A most astonishing and provocative result, and perhaps the most difficult monograph to come to terms with initially -- given that it is suggesting that in every physics lab in every high school and college, the electroscopes that are quietly sitting on the shelf can provide evidence of perpetual influx of heretofore unknown energy. This work concerns the separated gold leaves of an electroscope and what holds them apart. Conventional physics naively says that it's just "static electricity" of the charge placed on or induced in the leaves that keeps them apart -- in principle, indefinitely. (This, apart from the *presumptively* understood charge leakage or seepage phenomena -- all is not what it seems as later monographs will show!) It is shown, by experiment, that the work performed by leaf deflection against gravity by a quantity of 'charge gas' is NOT equivalent to the electric energy input!! A theory to account for the phenomenon is discussed (which relies on results from the AToS theory and Reich's so-called pendulum law.) It is shown that the non-electric component of the kinetic energy of the trapped charges -- which must perform both electric and antigravitational work -- must be continuously regenerated. This regeneration must come from some "hidden variable" in the local medium (the later monographs identify this with an aspect of the Aether). Summing up, the Correas write: "We found therefore that, in order for the electric work of repulsion performed by charge against charge to be conserved, the work performed by charge against local gravity must be constantly supplied by regeneration of the kinetic energy of the trapped charges from the surrounding medium." *EXPERIMENT: Gold leaf electroscope is calibrated (angle vs. voltage). Then charge and discharge time profiles are examined oscilloscopically and the work of deflection computed and compared to experiment. *EXPERIMENT: Measured leaf deflection decay profiles -- work-equivalent position energy vs. time -- are integrated for two different atmospheric conditions. It is found that the kinetic energy electrically spent by the leaf-trapped 'charge gas' in opposing gravity field energy during the leaf decay is 228 times greater than the electric energy input, for one curve! The clear weather curve shows that charge spends 736 times the input energy! Ergo, there is a source of energy in the medium that can provide far beyond the electric energy input. (This conclusion is NOT dependent on any imagined particularities of charge leakage or seepage.) "Electrostatic potential" cannot account for the work of leaf deflection. If this single monograph is correct in its conclusions --and it is hard to escape that conclusion (providing certain mathematical relationships concerning mass and length introduced are accepted), then there is EVERY reason to take all the remaining monographs very, very seriously. They deal with electroscopes used in different environments and much else... AS2-01 Addendum, concerning the pendulum formula as applied to the work performed against gravity by the electroscopic leaf. ____________________ This brief addendum concerns a possible factor-of-2 error that may have crept in in AS2-01, prompted by the examination of some readers. The Correas stick by their result. But it is admirable how they openly address the critiques. AS2-02 Variation of the spontaneous discharge rate of atmospheric electroscopes induced by electric and nonelectric, local and nonlocal, hidden variables ___________________ Study of the roles played by electric and non-electric factors affecting and controlling the spontaneous discharge rates of electroscopes --both positively and negatively charged ones. *EXPERIMENTS: Study of he variation of the spontaneous discharge rates of identical, calibrated, gold-leaf electroscopes directly exposed for a month to varying outdoor atmospheric conditions, and how the observed rate variation correlated, or not, with local atmospheric parameters or nonlocal parameters of solar origin. *EXPERIMENTS: Comparative studies of the effect of a negative ion generator upon the electroscopes. "We found that atmospheric electroscopes essentially respond to a total of five distinct hidden variables, which fall into two groups - those that accelerate the spontaneous discharge rate and those that slow it down or arrest the discharge. In the first group, we have two local and two nonlocal factors at play. The local factors are essentially nonelectric. The first local factor refers to the capacity or ability of cloud systems, particularly those associated with low pressure cells, to draw nonelectric energy from neighbouring localities and thus diminish the kinetoregenerative power of the medium local to the instruments." Four of the variables were found to only accelerate the electroscopic spontaneous discharge rate. The fifth hidden variable, which was found to be of solar origin (from its time of day correlation) *arrests* (stops) or *tends to arrest* the discharge. This is inferred to be a nonlocal variable that accounts for the power of the local medium to regenerate the kinetic energy -- Quoting: "...which charge spends in performing work against gravity when trapped in a conductor subject, in turn, to electrostatic repulsion. Essentially, the kinetoregenerative power of the local medium is in turn replenished by this component of solar radiation." AS2-03 A note on Reich's concept of an electroscopic OP and the concept of a nonelectric kinetoregenerative power of the local atmospheric medium _________________ No new experiments introduced. This is a discussion of whether Reich's concept of an 'orgonotic potential' (OP) is a "physical, mathematical and scientific index of electric tension, or of charge? What energy function(s) does it correspond to?" Quoting: "..the notions of tension and charge distinctly evoked electric functions, whereas the concept that Reich really needed in order to explain that [electroscope] arrest should have instead referred to the nonelectric power of the local medium to regenerate the kinetic energy of charge, and thereby induce arrest of the spontaneous electroscopic discharge irrespective of electric polarity. This last is the critical nonelectric condition, given that arrest induced by electric fields or ion fluxes can only occur for either seepage or leakage, but not for both." This monograph eliminates flaws in Reich's methodology that can be seen as responsible for the inappropriate amalgamation by "Reichians" of orgone energy with negative ions and negative electricity. AS2-04 Electroscopic demonstration of reverse potentials of energy flow able to draw kinetic and electric energies ________________ *EXPERIMENTS: Possibly the most astonishing monograph of all, because very simple experiments with electroscope charging and discharging are shown to prove that a human being is a transducer of energy flows heretofore unknown. These experiments could be done and commented on by bright high-school students -- after which, they might be observed burning their physics books! Quoting in full the abstract: "Methodological objections are raised to the conventional understanding of the charged states of the electroscope, and a new classification of charging methods is proposed. The existing hiatuses in conventional electrostatic theory of the electroscope stem from complete ignorance of the electroscopic action of observable reverse potentials, first proposed by Dr. Wilhelm Reich over sixty years ago, which establish centripetal radiative fields capable of drawing both nonelectric kinetic energy and the electric energy of charge trapped in conductors. From an experimental examination alone of the electroscopic interactions of the human body, the authors conclude, as Reich did, that there is an energy specific to living systems and to the ground, which is neither electric nor electromagnetic." AS2-05 The thermal anomaly in ORACs and the Reich-Einstein experiment: implications for blackbody theory __________________ This was my point of entry into hands-on experiments with Faraday cages and calibrated, 0.05 deg division mercury thermometers. After the Correas sent me their paper to be published in IE (Ref.7), which is part of this monograph, a new world opened up. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Einstein's reaction to Reich's observed thermal anomalies connected with Faraday cages, was indeed one of the biggest blunders in the history of science. *EXPERIMENT: Reproduction of the indoor Reich-Einstein experiment. Experimental verification of the thermal anomaly reported by Reich. Demonstration of how it can be "analytically and experimentally separated from the effect of convection air currents." *EXPERIMENTS: A series of outdoor experiments with black and white ORACS, conducted both in the shade and under full solar exposure. Conclusion: "...we demonstrate how the thermal energy registered inside both chambers of controlled ORACs cannot be accounted for by the blackbody spectrum for solar radiation (for which we propose a new physico-mathematical treatment employing the tools we have developed elsewhere in the form of the Aetherometric Theory of Synchronicity, AToS), nor by the experimentally determined blackbody radiation spectra for the controlled ORACs employed in these experiments. The results formally demonstrate that whatever is the nature of the energy converting into thermal energy to produce the verifiable thermal anomaly, its ultimate source is definitely solar, and yet it cannot be thermal energy, i.e. nonionizing electromagnetic energy. These findings run dead counter to existing variants of thermal ZPE (zero point energy) theories. A formal treatment of all the consequences of these findings - for such disciplines as aether science, thermodynamics, thermoelectrics, and quantum blackbody theory - is deferred to a subsequent communication." AS2-06 Comparative study of the variation in the spontaneous discharge rate of atmospheric electroscopes and electroscopes placed within 'orgone accumulators' ___________________ *EXPERIMENTS: A series of experiments with electroscopes prove that "the energy concentrated inside ORACs and responsible for the anomalous deceleration and arrest of electroscopes placed within them, irrespective of charge polarity, is neither thermal nor electric." The Correas "determine the comprehensive values of the energy and power of ORAC devices (in Reich's idiom, to measure the actual orgone energy values, and their variation, within these devices)." And, they prove that the electroscopic kinetoregenerative phenomenon is not of thermal origin. KEY CONCLUSION: "...the Aether energy effect responsible for the thermal and electroscopic anomalies observed within the ORAC is neither electric, nor electromagnetic, nor gravitational per se, but antigravitational. In full agreement with our Aetherometric Theory of Synchronicity (AToS), we conclude that, by a heretofore unknown process, charges trapped in a conductor undergoing electrostatic repulsion - or, for that matter, in a dielectric undergoing electrostatic repulsion, as can be easily observed with electroscopic leaves made of dielectric materials - and subject to a local gravitational potential, are able to tap local Aether energy and to convert some of its nonelectric and nonelectromagnetic energy into their kinetic energy. This kinetic energy is associated with charge but distinct from it, and charge spends it precisely to counteract the continuous action of the local gravitational energy. This counteraction is maximal at electroscopic discharge arrest. The kinetoregenerative phenomenon demonstrates therefore that there exists another form of energy which is neither electric, nor electromagnetic, nor gravitational. Yet, this energy appears to be responsible for an array of electric, thermal and gravitational anomalies." AS2-07 Decoding the thermal and nonthermal equivalents of the org as a unit of aether energy ______________ A monograph with no new experiment called out, but which analyzes the combined results of AS2-05 and AS2-06. It also proposes the basic foundations for the aetherometric theory of temperature, and provides a stunning new dimensional equivalence for temperature! These investigations are slipped in while it overtly deals with historical terminology used by Reich. The Correas state: "Reich once postulated the org as a natural and experimental unit of OR energy that was referenced to the thermal performance of the ORAC he invented. But he was unable to resolve its exact value, or to provide its thermal and nonthermal equivalences, both experimental and theoretical." This, the Correas carry out, to provide the org either in terms of sensible or latent heat. The former determination turns out to relate the org precisely to the molecular Boltzmann energy unit. The org is, in effect, a measure of the "heating powers of an ORAC." Experimental Aetherometry, Volume 2A AS2-08 Photoinduced arrest of the spontaneous electroscopic discharge and the Hallwacks experiment revisited ______________ This is a turning-point monograph, in its extensive discussion of the true character and divisions within the conventionally understood electromagnetic spectrum. The experiment of Hallwacks (which after Einstein became known as the photoelctric effect experiment!) is repeated to reveal a significant anomaly. A remarkable series of experiments is carried out: * EXPERIMENT: Measurement of the discharge rate of two gold-leaf electroscopes, one inside a dry incubator (to establish a large temperature difference with ambient air) and the other outside. Proving that the kinetoregenerative phenomenon is not thermal. * EXPERIMENT: Hallwacks Experiment of 1888 repeated with germicidal UV fluorescent lamp, also controls with fluorescent lamps with filters; also tests with IR and Solar-UV lamps. The amazing discovery --contradicting Hallwacks -- that far UV affects the fall of POSITIVELY charged electroscope. Also, far UV does NOT affect positively charged and negatively charged electroscopes equally -- contrary to what ionizing radiation does. Major finding: under a variety of conditions: visible light and near-UV light promote electroscope discharge arrest. In other words, the Hallwacks effect is induced by nonionizing far and vacuum UV blackbody radiation (HFOT photons), whereas near UV and visible-light blackbody radiation (i.e. LFOT photons) mimic latent heat and sustain the kinetoregerative phenomenon. The Correas say in the monograph: "This [the photoinduced regeneration] constitutes formal proof of [their] contention that charge trapped in a conductor immersed in a local gravitational field requires, in addition to the electric energy it consists of, a surplus of kinetic energy that it can borrow from the local medium, and which it spends by constantly performing work against gravity." The borrowed energy may be electromagnetic- for as long as it is nonionizing and non-free-radical-inducing - but of sufficiently high frequency (hence thermal electromagnetic frequencies cannot efficiently support the kinetoregenerative phenomenon). In the absence of suitable blackbody radiation, the borrowed energy comes from the available latent heat - which, in any case, is the more ordinary pathway. Many conclusions are drawn concerning qualitative and distinct domains of the electromagnetic spectrum. Too extensive and detailed for these brief highlights. Final remark links to work to be carried out in subsequent modules: "We do not yet know what is the aether-sourced physical process responsible for the production and disjunction of HFOT and LFOT photons - and this will constitute the object of follow-up communications." AS2-09 The allotropic atmospheric cycle of oxygen, ozone and water: foundations of photo- and aetherochemistry ____________ Based upon existing data for the reciprocal chemical conversion of oxygen and ozone and, likewise, of water into acid ion and atomic oxygen, the Correas propose a novel way to balance the enthalpies of these processes, and separate the mechanisms of action of both HFOT and LFOT photons in the allotropic ('two-form') cycle that constitutes the most basic molecular material of the atmosphere. This is a must-read for environmentally-minded people. The monograph lays the ground for the later AS2-17B study, where the exact spectra of the radiations driving the two-part cycle are unveiled. The self-regenerative aspect of the cycle appears to be tied into the constant infusion of negative light leptons. It is suggested that this constitutes evidence for the asymmetric creation of massbound charges - astonishing observation: "... the existing photochemical relations fail to account for the physical, pre-atomic processes that generate negatronic charge independently from the known processes of pair production." In other words, it is required that electrons be created from the aether to explain this most basic atmospheric cycle! This monograph shows how potentially all-encompassing Aetherometry really is. There are also some provocative medical implications discussed. AS2-10 The kinetoregenerative phenomenon and the AToS model of a fundamental aether energy element capable of counteracting gravitons ____________ A monograph concerning how the fundamental aether element identified by the Correas as being responsible for the asymmetric creation of negative light leptons can have an antigravitational effect. No new experiments are introduced here, but the analysis employs the data from the experiments reported in AS2-01, AS2-02, AS2-06 and AS2-08 to demonstrate a fundamental resonance between the gold graviton and this very aether energy element, thereby suggesting that a novel physical process is responsible for the kinetoregenerative phenomenon. In the process, and almost unnoticed, the Correas even provide the fine structure of the electron graviton! They also provide entirely new particle ratios and equations for photons, gravitons, electrons, gold atoms and aether energy units in both the Hallwacks experiment and the gravitokinetoregenerative phenomenon. No one claiming to be interested in QM should bypass this monograph. SHORTENED ABSTRACT FROM THE CORREAS: "Proceeding from our previous demonstrations that there are two distinct - with respect to work, energy and power - components to the electroscopic interaction, one electrokinetic and the other nonelectric, which we have designated as gravitokinetic (since it involves work performed against the local gravitational field), we propose in the present communication a novel mathematical, microfunctionalist treatment of the gravitokinetic interaction, that indicates how aether energy units abstracted locally by the charges trapped in the conduction band of the electroscopic leaf are employed to counteract the gravitational attractive effect upon the same leaf of a determinate number of gravitons that are provided by the local gravitational field to act upon the atoms of that leaf. In the process, we propose that the aether energy element abstracted by the trapped charges is the same element whose secondary superimposition yields, by the AToS, both the electron mass-energy and the graviton associated with the electron (the electron-graviton).We propose that this fundamental resonant aether element has a nonelectric massfree energy..." "Furthermore, we propose that, by application of the AToS, we must conclude that the gold-graviton...is also a resonant state of the aether energy element fundamental to all elementary charges. Finally, we also suggest that the same aether element, being equally intrinsic to the structure of the electron mass-energy as a sub- element, interacts with blacklight photons to produce the Hallwacks photoelectric effect, whose true y coefficient we claim to have experimentally ascertained as shown in a previous communication. These findings also permit for the first time the identification of the basic graviton associated with the electron mass-energy." ***END of Part 2*** From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Wed May 29 20:17:10 2002 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id UAA02049; Wed, 29 May 2002 20:16:14 -0700 Resent-Date: Wed, 29 May 2002 20:16:14 -0700 User-Agent: Microsoft-Entourage/9.0.1.3108 Date: Wed, 29 May 2002 23:18:19 -0700 Subject: The Correas - Part 3 of 4 From: "Eugene F.

We normally think of the battles over the wave-versus particle nature, culminating in the 20th Century with quantum mechanical descriptions positing a mystifying duality. But the subject is much more complex, involving as it does the imposition of Special and General Theories of Relativity on an already indeterminate historical situation. The Correas propose a new model that reforms the highly ambiguous picture, yet one should not expect that such a reformation will be easy to assimilate! Remember, modern physics has asked us to "believe" in many "impossible things" already, so it is not surprising that when these more or less firm mental images from modern physics that we have of what light and photons are -- or are not --are challenged, the new picture does not go down easily. The Correas provide an historical overview of the evolution of their theory, which is motivated in this monograph by EXPERIMENT (see below). But first, their entire ABSTRACT quoted: "From Descartes' Plenum of subtle matter defined by its luminous character, through Spinoza's Light and its effects of Colour and Shadow, to the classical electromagnetic theory of a luminiferous aether and modern ZPE theories, the problem of the Aether has always been posed as inseparable from that of Light, the action and transmission of Light. This often entailed a direct reduction of the concept of the aether to that of Light - as is the case with Spinoza -or to that of the electromagnetic field - as is the case with ZPE theories. The situation with Descartes is different, as with Maxwell and Lorentz, because here an implicit division is made between the Aether as support system and Light as either a corpuscular or an undulatory event. It was this concept of an aether as a support of Light which SR made superfluous, 'liberating ' Light in the form of an electromagnetic field of constant speed for all inertial mass, and converting all Matter into opaque forms of Light. Thereby, however, Light retained its primacy in physics and natural philosophy. One can contemplate GR as an attempt to eliminate this lingering primacy of Light in SR, by making Light heavy and thus subject to conditioning by the gravitational field, with the result that the gravitational aether becomes a geometric structure where the null intervals of Minkowski Spacetime become the curved geodesics of GR 's Spacetime." "But making Light heavy is only a way of either attributing the Dark (fuscum subnigrum) to Matter (as was done with the missing mass) or reducing it to a geometry of Light. The only philosopher to seize the Dark as the matrix from which Light and Colour emerge, was Leibniz. His approach to the problem of the vacuum ("there is no vacuum ") and his contention in First Truths that neither Space nor Time are things but multiplicities of a continuum that cannot be divided into points, intimate that the fundamental property of a Plenum is not Light but Darkness." "The Aetherometric Theory of Synchronicity (AToS) takes up Leibniz 's contention that the aether is not Light but the Dark, which alone explains how Light emerges when the Dark interacts with Matter to confer motion to it. We review Reich 's orgonometric theory of Light, and in particular his concept of an underlying aether excitation wave. Reich's theory is seen as a precursor to the aetherometric concepts of Light and the Dark. AToS suggests that Light is only a secondary pathway whereby energy returns back to the Dark. The Light spectrum is subdivided into discontinuous (ionizing) and epicontinuous (blackbody) portions, because only the latter results from the interaction of Matter with the Dark, while discontinuous Light results from the disintegration of Matter. But the Dark itself is not homogenous, being split in kind between life-beneficial energy (OR)and life-inimical energy (DOR). AToS holds that the Dark understood in this way designates the electrically ambipolar massfree radiation that serves as one of the major components of the Aether. It is this radiation which, through secondary superimposition, condenses massbound charges, and interacts with the latter to confer to them electrokinetic energy that, once shed, gives rise to blackbody photons which return the energy back to the medium. The nature of the underlying Dark continuum, and its very split in kind, becomes thereby reflected in the biochemical and biophysical nature of blackbody Light, which AToS splits into HFOT (high frequency optothermal - true blacklight) photons and LFOT (low frequency optothermal) photons. HFOT Light is indicative of an underlying DOR action just as LFOT Light is a sign of OR activity. It is the epicontinuous spectrum of Light that betrays the structure of the actual continuum of the electric aether. If the problem of Light is not separable from the problem of the aether, of the Dark, the latter, in turn, is not subsidiary to the problem of Light. As demanded by Leibniz, we must think the Dark independently from Light - as much as from Matter, even if it is the Dark that links both Light and Matter and transmits the excitation waves that produce Light. This Dark is in a permanent state of motion; it is a subtle imponderable energy that carries no mass. One of the major challenges this process of conceptualization poses to AToS is the understanding that the Dark does not just consist of electrically ambipolar massfree radiation. Free electric wave energy forms an electric continuum with definite frequency limits, but this continuum in turn is only a differentiated part of a much greater aether energy continuum formed by nonelectric massfree energy that one may designate as latent - because its 'heat 'is insensible and thus invisible, or because it appears, to modern physics at least, to lack any physical characteristics. The challenge that future presentations will pose is the experimental identification of the physical characteristics of latent aether energy, and of the differentiation process that produces electrically ambipolar massfree energy." *EXPERIMENT: Confirming Reich's observations with evacuated tubes (Vacor tubes) that indicated pulsatory activity of such tubes in response to a charged electrostatic rod (observed both oscilloscopically and via the recorder section of a Geiger -Muller tube). IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY APPLIED POTENTIAL TO THE VACUUM TUBE, some 2000 counts per second were recorded for a single pass near the tube of the charged rod. Lumination of the tube also observed. *EXPERIMENT: Parallel pulsatory response to a charged electrostatic rod is seen when the rod is passed between metal plates in air. *EXPERIMENT: Electrostatic charged pendulum interacting with a rectification circuit -- assessments indicate that this is a "direct gravito-electric converter which does not exhaust the charge trapped in the dielectric pendulum and employs the local gravitation field to both condense massbound charge and impart to it electrokinetic energy, at the receiver plates." That is, it is proposed that this experiment exhibits literally the creation of electrons from the aether, as a surface condensation process, much as if the apparatus converted gravitational into massbound electric energy. *EXPERIMENTS: With Wimshurst electrostatic generators (0.5 meter from a vacuum tube) and Tesla coils (1 meter from the tube), separately. Conclusion: "Something in the vacuum is more responsive or sensitive to neighboring disturbances of electrostatic potential, than is a wire-pick up under atmospheric conditions. This brilliant monograph ends with this statement: "Lastly, we would like the reader to note that the evidence we have provided for auto-electronic pulse signatures as markers for the local flux of ambipolar electric radiation is not a novel phenomenon per se. It goes unrecognized as such in the literature, with respect -- in particular - to studies of lightning signatures picked up by antennas, it has long been employed with some realization of the longitudinal nature of the electric waves ultimately causing the observed pulsatory (auto-electronic emission) signatures." (References to two works, one by C. Yost (2001) and the other by T. Ogawa (1982) are given.). AS2-12 AToS theory of the volt and the electron volt - an aetherometric perspective on longitudinal electric waves __________________________ This is an analytic monograph that is required for one to understand the subsequent monographs (AS2-13 to AS2-17C). Drawing from unpublished volumes of AToS, the Correas propose a variety of dimensional corrections to key electrical concepts, as well as the aetherometric value of key physical quantities. The ABSTRACT reads: "We succinctly submit basic aetherometric theoretical and mathematical formulations for the electric functions of potential, charge, energy and power, as they apply to either massbound (monopolar) and massfree (ambipolar) forms of electricity. The microfunctional formulations are rigorously derived with aetherometric tools, and they put into evidence the common misconceptions of electric functions harking back to Maxwell. Fundamental aetherometric equivalences are provided for the volt, the electron-volt, the charge quantum e, Planck's constant, the electron mass-energy and the Duane-Hunt wavelength we have identified. A new constant is introduced (the Eta-Correa constant ) and the potential of the electron mass-energy is demonstrated as being equivalent to a wavespeed having the exact value [Formula is given-EFM]. Electric charge is demonstrated to be a linear momentum function, and the authors propose that all electric potentials be understood as longitudinal wave-functions, whether produced by standing or traveling waves, and whether they are constitutive of mass-energy or kinetic energy. Such a standing voltage wave is identified as intrinsic to the structure of the electron mass-energy." A comment by H. Aspden is cited by the Correas up front: "The origin of the electron must be a medium which is electrical in character and no amount of abstract thinking can avoid this conclusion. Relativity does not have the power to cross these boundaries either. The language of the aether is not Relativity. It is the physics of the electron, the properties of electric charge, which can reveal the secrets of the aether medium." (from H. Aspden, Modern Aether Science", p.91) AT THIS POINT THE CORREAS THEMSELVES PROVIDE A MOTIVATION AND A MAP FOR THE NEXT FOUR MONOGRAPHS -- THEY HAVE MADE MY WORK EASY! QUOTING THEM IN FULL: "Monographs AS2-13and AS2-14: The Dual Nature of the Energy Radiated by Tesla Coils, Parts 1 and 2 "Short Abstract "Tesla coils have now, for over a century, been objects of great wonder and also mystery. Tesla himself employed their principle in his famous patent for wireless power transmission. Yet, despite attempts by a few dedicated experimenters (R. Hull, the Corums) who have proposed new theoretical approaches to the operation of these devices, the coil has remained essentially miscomprehended, precisely because it superimposes two distinct oscillatory electric fields, one associated with massbound charge and the other with massfree charge. Moreover, the coil outputs neither electromagnetic radiation, nor an ion field. The basic demonstration of these stunning facts is carried out in these monographs, where aetherometric experimental and theoretical tools are employed to differentiate, on the basis of fundamental physical effects, the ambipolar massfree radiation of Tesla waves from the radiative effects of photons - whether ionizing, HFOT or LFOT photons - as well as from the monopolar electric field effects of ion fluxes or electrostatic charges. These reports establish, from basic scientific facts, the existence of a longitudinal, massfree, electric ambipolar form of energy radiation which is emitted from these coils, and provide the fundamental tools for aetherometric analysis of their operation. This leads the authors to a demonstration of the correct physical meaning of such basic functions as inductance and the characteristic frequency of the coil, laying the foundations for what will become the complete aetherometric analysis of Tesla coils carried out in companion papers AS-15 and AS2-16. The fundamental magnetic and electric frequency functions of the massfree and massbound currents are identified. And an exact aetherometric proof that the electric wavespeed of the ambipolar radiation known as Tesla waves is not bound by c and typically exceeds it, is provided. These two essays - AS2-13 and AS2-14 - are precisely what is needed before one can understand longitudinal, ambipolar, massfree radiation as something distinct from electromagnetism or photon energy." AS2-13 "(Re-)examination of the energy radiation output by Tesla coils, Part 1: Experimental determination of its dual nature" _______________ Might as well cite the larger Correa ABSTRACT in full here, since it makes clear in *EXPERIMENTS with Tesla coils what has been found: "Experimental re-examination of the basic physical properties of the Tesla coil does not confirm the commonly held notions that it radiates "electromagnetic field energy", or that its loosely termed "electrostatic radiation field" is in any way mediated by ions formed as a consequence of the ionizing properties of the said electromagnetic radiation. Formally, we demonstrate how the Tesla coil is neither a source of ionizing photons (since it fails to discharge a positively charged electroscope, inside - or outside - of its electric or 'electrostatic' field), nor a source of HFOT or LFOT photons, including thermal ones (since it fails to trigger photoelectric cells and its diathermic effect can be shown to be an indirect one). It is also not a source of either negative or positive ions, given that it can bipolarize a doped full wave divider. Yet, its 'electrostatic field' charges most metallic (ungrounded) surfaces positively. To explore further the nature of the Tesla waves, we tested the effect of the Tesla coil output both with a proportional chamber and with a simple plate antenna connected to a radiation ratemeter: whereas, like ionizing and HFOT photons, Tesla waves triggered the proportional chamber, unlike either, and unlike any other, type of "electromagnetic radiation", Tesla waves alone were capable of triggering the ratemeter via the plate antenna, even at substantial distances. "Taken together, these results suggest that there is a complex process of conversion of energy at work in these induction coils. The pulsed input to the primary coil induces in the space of the closely coupled secondary a conversion of the local aether energy into electric form. Aether wave energy is tapped by the capacito-inductive properties of the secondary coil to yield resonant, synchronized, superimposed, but distinct 'electric' (electrocapacitative) and 'magnetic' (magnetoinductive) waves. These wave functions properly constitute the massfree radiative field energy emitted by the coil, but they also induce or assemble, within the secondary, an alternate current of massbound charges, or electrons. In turn, this alternate current of electrons in the secondary couples its own 'magnetic' field to the electrocapacitative waves of the coil, to yield a proximal field effect which is responsible for drawing valence and conduction charge from metallic bodies. Beyond the limit of this proximal massbound field effect, the radiated (distal) field of what is known as 'Tesla waves' is composed solely of the 'electric' and 'magnetic' massfree waves radiated from the coil, and is only able to draw charges from the conduction band of metallic bodies. There are therefore quite distinct field effects of Tesla coils. Unfortunately, the proximal field energy has been confusedly assimilated to a "DC or electrostatic field", just as the distal field has been confusedly assimilated to an "AC electromagnetic field". But both fields possess "AC characteristics" and their real difference stems from the fact that one is both proximal and distal, and composed of primary massfree charges, while the other is only proximal, and the effect of the secondary flux of massbound charges. All happens as if the these coils synthesized two different kinds of electric fields, one proximal and massbound, and the other massfree and responsible for all distal effects. It is the massfree electric field that serves as the conduit for the massbound electric field, since only the former exists both proximally and distally, and thus all observable distal effects are due to it - such as the observed acceleration of leakage rates in electroscopes placed at greater distances from the coil. Conversely, it is the induced massbound charge field that is responsible for the observed spontaneous positive charging of the electroscope in the proximity of the coil, but since the radiated electric energy is not an ionizing one, nor does it consist of ion emission, the observed proximal monopolar (positive) charging of metal objects depends solely on the metallic nature of the targeted bodies, not upon any supposed "DC characteristic of an electrostatic field" output by the coil. In a parallel fashion, the primary massfree charge field is no less electrical than the proximal field - and thus fully undeserving of the epithet "electromagnetic". "We can only speak of production of photons or the presence of electromagnetic energy when the primary superimposition of the two synchronous wave functions of the massfree energy field is resolved, at the surface of the metallic bodies that it is emitted from or strikes, to yield the "characteristic electromagnetic" or photonic frequency of the coil in the form of damped waves. Light, and also heat, are therefore indirect effects of Tesla waves, mere secondary emissions from metallic bodies exposed to Tesla radiation. The true "electromagnetic AC component "must therefore be understood as the secondary mechanical result of resolving the superimposition of Tesla waves. From this vantage point, the so-called 'electrostatic' and 'electromagnetic' fields of the Tesla coil cannot be thought of in the traditional manner where the former is the result of the latter, as mediated by ionization, and where the latter alone constitutes the primary emission. There is neither an electrostatic DC field nor an AC electromagnetic field (let alone an ionizing one), and we demonstrate this fact experimentally; both electrostatic and photonic fields are secondary effects resulting from the interaction of metallic matter with resonant 'electric' and 'magnetic' waves, such that the superimposition of these waves is subsequently resolved either to charge that matter or to induce it to emit light and heat. "Finally, basic aetherometric analysis formally demonstrates how the aether wave functions, whether formed capacitatively or inductively, are not limited at all by the photon limit wavespeed c, and thus cannot be thought of, in any way, as subfunctions of an "electromagnetic" wave that propagates transversely to the direction of its forward motion. Here, the critical element of the analysis is the electric frequency term which, in the "vacuum state", can be seen to exceed the blackbody radiation frequency limit , thus indicating that the aether continuum may not be limited, in its upper end, by the blackbody upper limit. This constatation is what originally led us to the discovery of the aether electric spectra, to be presented in companion reports." Most importantly - if one desires to understand the difference between ordinary electricity composed of the flux of monopolar massbound charges and ambipolar electricity composed of massfree charges, this monograph provides the essential experimental and theoretical distinctions between the two types of electricity. Likewise, if one wishes to understand similar differences between radiative fields - whether electromagnetic, ion fluxes or ambipolar, this is also the monograph where these distinctions are meticulously carried out (see its Table 6, which is an immediate eye-opener!) AS2-14 "Aetherometric treatment of the energy radiation output by Tesla coils, Part 2: Massfree and massbound nonelectromagnetic functions and resultant characteristic electromagnetic frequency of the coil" _____________________ A continuation of AS2-13 that examines in great depth the so-called Tesla equation, to find its correct aetherometric equivalence and a most peculiar and orderly set of frequency resonances in the operation of any induction coil, all of which are a function of the fundamental aetherometric frequency (64*10E14) identified by the Correas as that which separates ionizing from blackbody photons. "....in the present communication, we complete our demonstration of how the characteristic electromagnetic frequency of the coil, Fc, results from the resolution of the electrocapacitative and magnetoinductive wave frequencies, Fa and Fb, of electronic charges." "We further propose that this process, in turn, is driven by the capture of electric massfree energy by massbound charges, in the form of their kinetic energy, and that it is the shedding of this kinetic energy that directly gives rise to blackbody photon production." Experimental Aetherometry, Volume 2B AS2-15 "The aetherometric approach to solving the problem of magnetism" _______________________ A non-experimental monograph that is based upon the data of existing physics but, by being consistent, corrects fundamental or basic physical errors and mistakes regarding the nature and dimensionalities of the magnetic field (intensity and density), their curls, and cyclotron frequency, for both massbound and massfree charges. The gauss and the tesla, and their equivalence, are redefined. Most interesting, a complete fine structure analysis of the wave interactions involved in the structure of the electron, its kinetic energy, and the structure of massfree charge is directly derived. Scientists and engineers apparently have a lot to learn! A highly shortened version of the Correas' abstract, giving salient points: "Dimensional analysis of accepted fundamental functions of magnetic flux density B (Maxwell's 'magnetic induction') and magnetic field intensity H (Maxwell's 'magnetic force') exposes discrepant functions that are systematically inconsistent... We begin by demonstrating how the gauss and the tesla, which are supposed to be equivalent measures of the magnetic field B in separate systems of units, are dimensionally inconsistent with each other...The findings suggest a totally new way of treating the magnetic permeability of a medium, and very different relations of the magnetic field functions to the current density terms Jfree and Jbound. These functions are systematized, for both massfree and massbound charges, and contrasted to those of Maxwell and accepted electromagnetic theory. Lastly, we demonstrate how the dimensionalities of H and B are the same...even if one is the reciprocal of a radius and the other of a wavelength (composite or not), in contrast to the electric field....which is effectively a frequency function with dimensionality of t^-1." ***END of Part 3*** From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Wed May 29 20:17:15 2002 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id UAA02286; Wed, 29 May 2002 20:16:50 -0700 Resent-Date: Wed, 29 May 2002 20:16:50 -0700 User-Agent: Microsoft-Entourage/9.0.1.3108 Date: Wed, 29 May 2002 23:18:58 -0700 Subject: The Correas - Part 4 of 4 From: "Eugene F.

Let me lead with the abbreviated abstract, and follow with VERY brief summaries of the experiments. Clearly, this monograph should be delicious reading to those who have hungered for years for an understanding of electrical over-unity conditions. If this monograph is taken seriously (as it should be -- if "free energy" advocates have any integrity at all!), there should be a global quest to confirm or reject the results. The circuits for the experiments are laid out clearly. There are elaborate tables provided which further specify the formulas that describe classical versus AToS analysis of the energy performance. The abbreviated ABSTRACT: "In the present communication we focus upon the theoretical and experimental demonstration that the century-old Tesla coil has all along, unbeknownst to modern science, functioned - when properly tuned and loaded - as a massfree electric energy generator that, in defiance of the corollary of the second law, outputs aether energy in electric form greatly in excess of the energy spent at the input by the 60Hz alternate current of massbound charges. This energy output has remained heretofore ignored because experimental and theoretical Physics is incapable of differentiating the electromagnetic energy associated with these coils from both types of electrical energy involved in the coil action - and incapable of differentiating further between these variants of electric energy that are affected to massfree and massbound charge. In the present communication, we propose an aetherometric method to determine the massfree ambipolar radiation of Tesla coils, as consisting of the superimposition of primary electric and magnetic massfree waves, and differentiate it from the aetherometric determination of the kinetic energy of massbound charge oscillating in the coil, as the latter deploys a secondary form of superimposition of capacito-inductive waves. The understanding of how ambipolar radiation is captured by massbound monopolar charges in the form of field-acquired electrokinetic energy is, in turn, critical to functionally comprehend, physically and mathematically, how blackbody electromagnetic spectra are indirectly produced from aether electric energy, via the shedding of the kinetic energy of massbound charge-carriers. " *Experiment: Use of a wave divider to load a TC (Tesla coil) in resonance. Use of a Tektronix CT-1 current transformer for inductively measuring current through a conductor. Determination that the TC is performing as an "aether energy amplifier that inductively and capacitatively converts a given AC power input of massbound charges to the primary into a much greater AC output of massfree charges" (about 4X "over unity"). This is a MEASURED effect! There appears to be no classical explanation of the measurements. That is the point of this experiment. The TC is outputting two kinds of charge -- massfree and massbound, and only aetherometric tools can separate one from the other. A major implication leads on to hints about the technological devices that the Correas have already mastered: "...if only we were to learn how to harness massfree ambipolar energy for purposes of delivering work, then we could have at our fingertips, the ultimate solution to the social problem of energy -- since it would suffice to tap the aether energy of any locality to obtain a significant power output from this type of device, with a much smaller input power." AS2-17A "The indirect 'orgone effect' of Tesla radiation: ambipolar aether and blackbody radiation spectra" __________________ The Correa Abstract in Full: "The authors demonstrate how Tesla coils produce an electrically ambipolar aether radiation field analogous to that emitted by the Sun, and explain how such massfree aether radiation fields interact with Faraday cages to produce two distinct types of radiation inside them: (1) a pool of 'latent heat' experimentally detected (in the dark) by a local increase in the antigravitic kinetoregenerative power of charged electroscopes irrespective of polarity; (2) blackbody spectra of high frequency LFOT photons generated by the shedding of electrokinetic energy from electronic and molecular charge carriers - energy that was captured from the electric aether energy radiated by the original source. Experiments performed with Tesla coils tuned to the modal spectrum of solar ambipolar radiation (OR subspectrum), show indirect generation of LFOT photons, and the tuning of such coils to generate ambipolar radiation in the DOR subspectrum is shown to generate HFOT photons. It is proposed that all blackbody radiation spectra result from aether (massfree) energy spectra formed within an aether electric (ambipolar) continuum of massfree energy, and a formal aetherometric model is introduced to permit correlation between the two energy spectra, aether and photonic, employing solar radiations as an example. "This effectively constitutes the first time that in the history of science the spectrum of ambipolar energy is characterized and identified, along with its two subspectra, ORgone and DORgone." *EXPERIMENT: Demonstrate that massfree ambipolar radiation from a TC can activate illumination of high vacuum tubes within Faraday cages at a distance! Use of photoelectric circuits in novel ways to confirm this. *EXPERIMENT: Effects of TC's on electroscopes -- discharge arrests similar to those produced by mid-day Sun! "The results are incontrovertible: whatever the conversion process at work, the Tesla radiation was transformed -- by the geometry and the chemical nature of the antenna employed -- into radiative energy having antigravitic kinetoregenerative properties." The methods and conclusions of this monograph are breathtaking in their simplicity and astonishing implications that affect all of physics. And the Correas propose the existence of an entirely new energy spectrum different from that of electromagnetic energy, which they meticulously analyze! It is hard to see how anyone can continue to speak of "the orgone" and not read this epoch-making monograph where the orgone spectrum is unveiled. Anyone interested in basic physics cannot afford to ignore what appears to be a clear demonstration of massfree electric radiation and its spectral characteristics. AS2-17B " Determination of the OR and DOR energies, frequencies and wavelengths driving the atmospheric allotropic cycle of oxygen, ozone and water" __________ Now that ambipolar electric radiation has been characterized in the previous monographs (AS2-13 to AS2-17A), the Correas revisit the issue of the two-part basic cycle of the atmosphere to determine the exact ambipolar radiation influxes that drive it. They demonstrate how a Tesla coil is actually the analogue of the Sun! Quote: "In the present communication we provide the final energetic understanding of the ambipolar radiation fluxes (OR and DOR) responsible for the production of HFOT and LFOT photons that is characteristic of, and even essential for, the allotropic cycle of water and oxygen-ozone." AND THE BLUE SKY IS EXPLAINED: "Finally, as the most poignant example of the previous statement, we note that the blue light emanating from the last chemical step in the specific formation of water, occurs very near the ambipolar solar radiation mode we have discovered, and indicates how its dominant atmospheric role in producing a blue sky (azure) is the result of an aether electric resonance in the process of water formation. AND -- a political barb well deserved by the Establishment: "We should note, with regard to this communication, that it took over a century to characterize the exact physical properties of the ambipolar electric radiation first discovered by Tesla, and over a half-century to identify those properties as characteristic of the OR and DOR radiations discovered by Reich. As Nietzsche felt while writing Thus Spake Zarathustra, one can only await, with baited breath, the baboons who will peddle the very caricature of what was said herein." AS2-17C "The cosmic background microwave radiation as evidence for cosmological creation of electrons with minimum kinetic energy and for a minimum of cosmic ambipolar massfree energy." Last but not least in volume 2B -- the fiction of the Big Bang is DONE IN! "The authors examine the microwave cosmic background radiation (CBR) - composed exclusively of LFOT photons - with aetherometric tools developed in the preceding reports, and the results demonstrate that, unlike what is held by the accepted neo-relativist interpretations of the CBR, its true mode lies - not at 7.35 cm and a frequency of 4.08GHz, but at 7.76 cm and a frequency of 3.861GHz. Still more disturbing is the fact that the conventionally accepted temperature distribution of the CBR blackbody is off by more than an order of magnitude with respect to the real and aetherometric temperature scale that is demanded by a Planckian quantization of the spectrum. The CBR temperature mode is found to lie between 0.1863 and 0.1853 degrees Kelvin. This fact alone is sufficient to dismantle any pretensions of (neo-)Relativity to actually and adequately understand the physical significance of the CBR and grasp the physical processes of its production - thus putting into serious doubt the validity of the so-called Big-Bang hypothesis." .... "The critical contribution of Aetherometry in the present report to the functional, physical and mathematical understanding of the CBR spectrum lies, however, still somewhere else, in the fact that the cosmic CBR can be shown to be the manifestation of a higher energy spectrum of ambipolar massfree energy, lying well within the ORgone energy range which previous experimental investigations (AS2-09 to AS2-17B) have painstakingly identified and delimited. Furthermore, since the massbound (electronic) charges that adsorb this ambipolar ORgone energy as their own electrokinetic energy, are themselves created by the physico-energetic process that produces the cosmic microwave CBR, the latter must be grasped functionally as evidence for the asymmetric cosmological creation of light leptonic mass constructs (first atoms of Matter) with discrete minima of transiently associated kinetic energy reflective of the minima of ambipolar ORgone energy permeating the entirety of the cosmos." .... "The conclusions from this aetherometric investigation can be summarized as follows. The microwave CBR spectrum composed exclusively of LFOT photons constitutes proof of: 1. the cosmological creation of electrons, with attendant gravitons, and having discrete minima of kinetic energy... 2. the existence of a minimal spectrum (which we identify) of ambipolar electric radiation throughout the cosmos - confirming Reich's notion that there is a minimum of ORgone energy that permeates the entirety of Space. 3. the existence of a physical process that converts free, nonelectric, nonelectromagnetic, nongravitic, 'latent thermal' or 'antigravitic' massfree energy into ORgone energy, or ambipolar electric radiation and, in the process, also converts other elements of the free nonelectric Aether into mass-energy (and thus monopolar electricity) and into gravitational energy. Armed with these findings, we are bound to conclude that the CBR does not present any direct or indirect evidence that permits its interpretation as a fossil radiation, or its being construed as proof for an originary hadronic era of the universe. On the contrary, the CBR constitutes instead effective evidence for the continued cosmological generation or ongoing production of leptons, and the very eternity of the cosmos." MODULES NOT YET RELEASED: AS2-18 through AS2-24 in volume 3. Experimental Aetherometry, Volume 4 AS2-25 Modified Orgone accumulator (HYBORAC) as drive for low delta T Stirling Engines First published in Infinite Energy #41 Complete ABSTRACT from the Correas: *EXPERIMENTS: "In the present report, the first of a two-part series, the authors demonstrate a method to optimize the solar-sourced anomalous To-T difference registered in Orgone Accumulators (ORACs) invented by W. Reich in 1939-1940, and employ this optimized difference to drive low delta T Stirling engines of the MM6 type, thereby putting into evidence how this thermal anomaly can be exploited to perform 'free' work. For this purpose, we employed a novel ORAC design - a specially-built hybrid arrangement designed to be directly exposed to solar radiation (as filtered by the terrestrial atmosphere) and partly composed of a black-painted ORAC and a Faraday cage - which we termed the HYBORAC, and a few simple modifications of the Stirling motor, to achieve hour-long midday motor speeds on the order of 20 to 140 rpm, with delta T's ranging from 5.7 to 21°C. Prospects of further approximating the engine delta T to the full value of To-T, and increasing the To-T difference to >30°C, are discussed and proposed in the present report. Results from the continuation of this work are presented in the companion essay." AS2-26 Modified Orgone accumulator (complete HYBORAC) as nighttime drive for low delta T Stirling Engines (First published in Infinite Energy #42) Complete ABSTRACT from the Correas: *EXPERIMENTS: "In the first report of this two-part series, we demonstrated that it was possible to drive low delta T Stirling engines of the MM6 type from the solar- sourced anomalous To-T difference registered in modified Orgone Accumulators referred to as HYBORACs, partly composed of a matte black-painted ORAC and Faraday cage. The design optimized response to solar radiation as well as heat retention, yielding motor speeds up to 140 rpm with delta T's on the order of 21°C. In the present report, our focus lies in maximizing the HYBORAC structure so that it can sustain outdoor operation not just when exposed directly to atmosphere- filtered solar radiation, but above all during the nighttime hours when the device cools together with the cooling air and in the absence of solar radiation. It should be noted that this is not simply a problem of maintaining a positive temperature difference (To-T), since the motor action continually pumps sensible heat out from the HYBORAC. But by increasing the retention of heat, we can also maximize utilization of the sensible heat being generated from other energy conversions occurring inside ORACs." "The solution lay in an arrangement that employs both the HYBORAC and inverted BORACs as components of a more traditional ORAC arrangement, into which they can be inserted. With this improved combination - referred to as the 'complete HYBORAC' - we were able to achieve speeds of 150 rpm during daytime (with delta T values reaching 22.5°C), and speeds of 30 to 80 rpm during nighttime (with delta T values of 3.1 to 9°C). Maximum duration of Stirling Motor operation with the complete HYBORAC was 399 minutes (nearly seven hours), frost effectively bringing the motor to a halt even in the presence of a suitable delta T value (3.5°C). The To-T values measured at the top plate of the complete HYBORAC reached 32°C during daytime, with delta T recovery efficiencies of 65 to 86%, whereas nighttime To-T values exceeded delta T by no more than 2°C, and when they became smaller than the delta T (with recovery efficiencies greater than 100%),the motor began to exhaust heat generation inside the complete HYBORAC. From that point until it stopped, nearly two hours elapsed." ************************************************************************* REFERENCES: 1.

We normally think of the battles over the wave-versus particle nature, culminating in the 20th Century with quantum mechanical descriptions positing a mystifying duality. But the subject is much more complex, involving as it does the imposition of Special and General Theories of Relativity on an already indeterminate historical situation. The Correas propose a new model that reforms the highly ambiguous picture, yet one should not expect that such a reformation will be easy to assimilate! Remember, modern physics has asked us to "believe" in many "impossible things" already, so it is not surprising that when these more or less firm mental images from modern physics that we have of what light and photons are -- or are not --are challenged, the new picture does not go down easily. The Correas provide an historical overview of the evolution of their theory, which is motivated in this monograph by EXPERIMENT (see below). But first, their entire ABSTRACT quoted: "From Descartes' Plenum of subtle matter defined by its luminous character, through Spinoza's Light and its effects of Colour and Shadow, to the classical electromagnetic theory of a luminiferous aether and modern ZPE theories, the problem of the Aether has always been posed as inseparable from that of Light, the action and transmission of Light. This often entailed a direct reduction of the concept of the aether to that of Light - as is the case with Spinoza -or to that of the electromagnetic field - as is the case with ZPE theories. The situation with Descartes is different, as with Maxwell and Lorentz, because here an implicit division is made between the Aether as support system and Light as either a corpuscular or an undulatory event. It was this concept of an aether as a support of Light which SR made superfluous, 'liberating ' Light in the form of an electromagnetic field of constant speed for all inertial mass, and converting all Matter into opaque forms of Light. Thereby, however, Light retained its primacy in physics and natural philosophy. One can contemplate GR as an attempt to eliminate this lingering primacy of Light in SR, by making Light heavy and thus subject to conditioning by the gravitational field, with the result that the gravitational aether becomes a geometric structure where the null intervals of Minkowski Spacetime become the curved geodesics of GR 's Spacetime." "But making Light heavy is only a way of either attributing the Dark (fuscum subnigrum) to Matter (as was done with the missing mass) or reducing it to a geometry of Light. The only philosopher to seize the Dark as the matrix from which Light and Colour emerge, was Leibniz. His approach to the problem of the vacuum ("there is no vacuum ") and his contention in First Truths that neither Space nor Time are things but multiplicities of a continuum that cannot be divided into points, intimate that the fundamental property of a Plenum is not Light but Darkness." "The Aetherometric Theory of Synchronicity (AToS) takes up Leibniz 's contention that the aether is not Light but the Dark, which alone explains how Light emerges when the Dark interacts with Matter to confer motion to it. We review Reich 's orgonometric theory of Light, and in particular his concept of an underlying aether excitation wave. Reich's theory is seen as a precursor to the aetherometric concepts of Light and the Dark. AToS suggests that Light is only a secondary pathway whereby energy returns back to the Dark. The Light spectrum is subdivided into discontinuous (ionizing) and epicontinuous (blackbody) portions, because only the latter results from the interaction of Matter with the Dark, while discontinuous Light results from the disintegration of Matter. But the Dark itself is not homogenous, being split in kind between life-beneficial energy (OR)and life-inimical energy (DOR). AToS holds that the Dark understood in this way designates the electrically ambipolar massfree radiation that serves as one of the major components of the Aether. It is this radiation which, through secondary superimposition, condenses massbound charges, and interacts with the latter to confer to them electrokinetic energy that, once shed, gives rise to blackbody photons which return the energy back to the medium. The nature of the underlying Dark continuum, and its very split in kind, becomes thereby reflected in the biochemical and biophysical nature of blackbody Light, which AToS splits into HFOT (high frequency optothermal - true blacklight) photons and LFOT (low frequency optothermal) photons. HFOT Light is indicative of an underlying DOR action just as LFOT Light is a sign of OR activity. It is the epicontinuous spectrum of Light that betrays the structure of the actual continuum of the electric aether. If the problem of Light is not separable from the problem of the aether, of the Dark, the latter, in turn, is not subsidiary to the problem of Light. As demanded by Leibniz, we must think the Dark independently from Light - as much as from Matter, even if it is the Dark that links both Light and Matter and transmits the excitation waves that produce Light. This Dark is in a permanent state of motion; it is a subtle imponderable energy that carries no mass. One of the major challenges this process of conceptualization poses to AToS is the understanding that the Dark does not just consist of electrically ambipolar massfree radiation. Free electric wave energy forms an electric continuum with definite frequency limits, but this continuum in turn is only a differentiated part of a much greater aether energy continuum formed by nonelectric massfree energy that one may designate as latent - because its 'heat 'is insensible and thus invisible, or because it appears, to modern physics at least, to lack any physical characteristics. The challenge that future presentations will pose is the experimental identification of the physical characteristics of latent aether energy, and of the differentiation process that produces electrically ambipolar massfree energy." *EXPERIMENT: Confirming Reich's observations with evacuated tubes (Vacor tubes) that indicated pulsatory activity of such tubes in response to a charged electrostatic rod (observed both oscilloscopically and via the recorder section of a Geiger -Muller tube). IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY APPLIED POTENTIAL TO THE VACUUM TUBE, some 2000 counts per second were recorded for a single pass near the tube of the charged rod. Lumination of the tube also observed. *EXPERIMENT: Parallel pulsatory response to a charged electrostatic rod is seen when the rod is passed between metal plates in air. *EXPERIMENT: Electrostatic charged pendulum interacting with a rectification circuit -- assessments indicate that this is a "direct gravito-electric converter which does not exhaust the charge trapped in the dielectric pendulum and employs the local gravitation field to both condense massbound charge and impart to it electrokinetic energy, at the receiver plates." That is, it is proposed that this experiment exhibits literally the creation of electrons from the aether, as a surface condensation process, much as if the apparatus converted gravitational into massbound electric energy. *EXPERIMENTS: With Wimshurst electrostatic generators (0.5 meter from a vacuum tube) and Tesla coils (1 meter from the tube), separately. Conclusion: "Something in the vacuum is more responsive or sensitive to neighboring disturbances of electrostatic potential, than is a wire-pick up under atmospheric conditions. This brilliant monograph ends with this statement: "Lastly, we would like the reader to note that the evidence we have provided for auto-electronic pulse signatures as markers for the local flux of ambipolar electric radiation is not a novel phenomenon per se. It goes unrecognized as such in the literature, with respect -- in particular - to studies of lightning signatures picked up by antennas, it has long been employed with some realization of the longitudinal nature of the electric waves ultimately causing the observed pulsatory (auto-electronic emission) signatures." (References to two works, one by C. Yost (2001) and the other by T. Ogawa (1982) are given.). AS2-12 AToS theory of the volt and the electron volt - an aetherometric perspective on longitudinal electric waves __________________________ This is an analytic monograph that is required for one to understand the subsequent monographs (AS2-13 to AS2-17C). Drawing from unpublished volumes of AToS, the Correas propose a variety of dimensional corrections to key electrical concepts, as well as the aetherometric value of key physical quantities. The ABSTRACT reads: "We succinctly submit basic aetherometric theoretical and mathematical formulations for the electric functions of potential, charge, energy and power, as they apply to either massbound (monopolar) and massfree (ambipolar) forms of electricity. The microfunctional formulations are rigorously derived with aetherometric tools, and they put into evidence the common misconceptions of electric functions harking back to Maxwell. Fundamental aetherometric equivalences are provided for the volt, the electron-volt, the charge quantum e, Planck's constant, the electron mass-energy and the Duane-Hunt wavelength we have identified. A new constant is introduced (the Eta-Correa constant ) and the potential of the electron mass-energy is demonstrated as being equivalent to a wavespeed having the exact value [Formula is given-EFM]. Electric charge is demonstrated to be a linear momentum function, and the authors propose that all electric potentials be understood as longitudinal wave-functions, whether produced by standing or traveling waves, and whether they are constitutive of mass-energy or kinetic energy. Such a standing voltage wave is identified as intrinsic to the structure of the electron mass-energy." A comment by H. Aspden is cited by the Correas up front: "The origin of the electron must be a medium which is electrical in character and no amount of abstract thinking can avoid this conclusion. Relativity does not have the power to cross these boundaries either. The language of the aether is not Relativity. It is the physics of the electron, the properties of electric charge, which can reveal the secrets of the aether medium." (from H. Aspden, Modern Aether Science", p.91) AT THIS POINT THE CORREAS THEMSELVES PROVIDE A MOTIVATION AND A MAP FOR THE NEXT FOUR MONOGRAPHS -- THEY HAVE MADE MY WORK EASY! QUOTING THEM IN FULL: "Monographs AS2-13and AS2-14: The Dual Nature of the Energy Radiated by Tesla Coils, Parts 1 and 2 "Short Abstract "Tesla coils have now, for over a century, been objects of great wonder and also mystery. Tesla himself employed their principle in his famous patent for wireless power transmission. Yet, despite attempts by a few dedicated experimenters (R. Hull, the Corums) who have proposed new theoretical approaches to the operation of these devices, the coil has remained essentially miscomprehended, precisely because it superimposes two distinct oscillatory electric fields, one associated with massbound charge and the other with massfree charge. Moreover, the coil outputs neither electromagnetic radiation, nor an ion field. The basic demonstration of these stunning facts is carried out in these monographs, where aetherometric experimental and theoretical tools are employed to differentiate, on the basis of fundamental physical effects, the ambipolar massfree radiation of Tesla waves from the radiative effects of photons - whether ionizing, HFOT or LFOT photons - as well as from the monopolar electric field effects of ion fluxes or electrostatic charges. These reports establish, from basic scientific facts, the existence of a longitudinal, massfree, electric ambipolar form of energy radiation which is emitted from these coils, and provide the fundamental tools for aetherometric analysis of their operation. This leads the authors to a demonstration of the correct physical meaning of such basic functions as inductance and the characteristic frequency of the coil, laying the foundations for what will become the complete aetherometric analysis of Tesla coils carried out in companion papers AS-15 and AS2-16. The fundamental magnetic and electric frequency functions of the massfree and massbound currents are identified. And an exact aetherometric proof that the electric wavespeed of the ambipolar radiation known as Tesla waves is not bound by c and typically exceeds it, is provided. These two essays - AS2-13 and AS2-14 - are precisely what is needed before one can understand longitudinal, ambipolar, massfree radiation as something distinct from electromagnetism or photon energy." AS2-13 "(Re-)examination of the energy radiation output by Tesla coils, Part 1: Experimental determination of its dual nature" _______________ Might as well cite the larger Correa ABSTRACT in full here, since it makes clear in *EXPERIMENTS with Tesla coils what has been found: "Experimental re-examination of the basic physical properties of the Tesla coil does not confirm the commonly held notions that it radiates "electromagnetic field energy", or that its loosely termed "electrostatic radiation field" is in any way mediated by ions formed as a consequence of the ionizing properties of the said electromagnetic radiation. Formally, we demonstrate how the Tesla coil is neither a source of ionizing photons (since it fails to discharge a positively charged electroscope, inside - or outside - of its electric or 'electrostatic' field), nor a source of HFOT or LFOT photons, including thermal ones (since it fails to trigger photoelectric cells and its diathermic effect can be shown to be an indirect one). It is also not a source of either negative or positive ions, given that it can bipolarize a doped full wave divider. Yet, its 'electrostatic field' charges most metallic (ungrounded) surfaces positively. To explore further the nature of the Tesla waves, we tested the effect of the Tesla coil output both with a proportional chamber and with a simple plate antenna connected to a radiation ratemeter: whereas, like ionizing and HFOT photons, Tesla waves triggered the proportional chamber, unlike either, and unlike any other, type of "electromagnetic radiation", Tesla waves alone were capable of triggering the ratemeter via the plate antenna, even at substantial distances. "Taken together, these results suggest that there is a complex process of conversion of energy at work in these induction coils. The pulsed input to the primary coil induces in the space of the closely coupled secondary a conversion of the local aether energy into electric form. Aether wave energy is tapped by the capacito-inductive properties of the secondary coil to yield resonant, synchronized, superimposed, but distinct 'electric' (electrocapacitative) and 'magnetic' (magnetoinductive) waves. These wave functions properly constitute the massfree radiative field energy emitted by the coil, but they also induce or assemble, within the secondary, an alternate current of massbound charges, or electrons. In turn, this alternate current of electrons in the secondary couples its own 'magnetic' field to the electrocapacitative waves of the coil, to yield a proximal field effect which is responsible for drawing valence and conduction charge from metallic bodies. Beyond the limit of this proximal massbound field effect, the radiated (distal) field of what is known as 'Tesla waves' is composed solely of the 'electric' and 'magnetic' massfree waves radiated from the coil, and is only able to draw charges from the conduction band of metallic bodies. There are therefore quite distinct field effects of Tesla coils. Unfortunately, the proximal field energy has been confusedly assimilated to a "DC or electrostatic field", just as the distal field has been confusedly assimilated to an "AC electromagnetic field". But both fields possess "AC characteristics" and their real difference stems from the fact that one is both proximal and distal, and composed of primary massfree charges, while the other is only proximal, and the effect of the secondary flux of massbound charges. All happens as if the these coils synthesized two different kinds of electric fields, one proximal and massbound, and the other massfree and responsible for all distal effects. It is the massfree electric field that serves as the conduit for the massbound electric field, since only the former exists both proximally and distally, and thus all observable distal effects are due to it - such as the observed acceleration of leakage rates in electroscopes placed at greater distances from the coil. Conversely, it is the induced massbound charge field that is responsible for the observed spontaneous positive charging of the electroscope in the proximity of the coil, but since the radiated electric energy is not an ionizing one, nor does it consist of ion emission, the observed proximal monopolar (positive) charging of metal objects depends solely on the metallic nature of the targeted bodies, not upon any supposed "DC characteristic of an electrostatic field" output by the coil. In a parallel fashion, the primary massfree charge field is no less electrical than the proximal field - and thus fully undeserving of the epithet "electromagnetic". "We can only speak of production of photons or the presence of electromagnetic energy when the primary superimposition of the two synchronous wave functions of the massfree energy field is resolved, at the surface of the metallic bodies that it is emitted from or strikes, to yield the "characteristic electromagnetic" or photonic frequency of the coil in the form of damped waves. Light, and also heat, are therefore indirect effects of Tesla waves, mere secondary emissions from metallic bodies exposed to Tesla radiation. The true "electromagnetic AC component "must therefore be understood as the secondary mechanical result of resolving the superimposition of Tesla waves. From this vantage point, the so-called 'electrostatic' and 'electromagnetic' fields of the Tesla coil cannot be thought of in the traditional manner where the former is the result of the latter, as mediated by ionization, and where the latter alone constitutes the primary emission. There is neither an electrostatic DC field nor an AC electromagnetic field (let alone an ionizing one), and we demonstrate this fact experimentally; both electrostatic and photonic fields are secondary effects resulting from the interaction of metallic matter with resonant 'electric' and 'magnetic' waves, such that the superimposition of these waves is subsequently resolved either to charge that matter or to induce it to emit light and heat. "Finally, basic aetherometric analysis formally demonstrates how the aether wave functions, whether formed capacitatively or inductively, are not limited at all by the photon limit wavespeed c, and thus cannot be thought of, in any way, as subfunctions of an "electromagnetic" wave that propagates transversely to the direction of its forward motion. Here, the critical element of the analysis is the electric frequency term which, in the "vacuum state", can be seen to exceed the blackbody radiation frequency limit , thus indicating that the aether continuum may not be limited, in its upper end, by the blackbody upper limit. This constatation is what originally led us to the discovery of the aether electric spectra, to be presented in companion reports." Most importantly - if one desires to understand the difference between ordinary electricity composed of the flux of monopolar massbound charges and ambipolar electricity composed of massfree charges, this monograph provides the essential experimental and theoretical distinctions between the two types of electricity. Likewise, if one wishes to understand similar differences between radiative fields - whether electromagnetic, ion fluxes or ambipolar, this is also the monograph where these distinctions are meticulously carried out (see its Table 6, which is an immediate eye-opener!) AS2-14 "Aetherometric treatment of the energy radiation output by Tesla coils, Part 2: Massfree and massbound nonelectromagnetic functions and resultant characteristic electromagnetic frequency of the coil" _____________________ A continuation of AS2-13 that examines in great depth the so-called Tesla equation, to find its correct aetherometric equivalence and a most peculiar and orderly set of frequency resonances in the operation of any induction coil, all of which are a function of the fundamental aetherometric frequency (64*10E14) identified by the Correas as that which separates ionizing from blackbody photons. "....in the present communication, we complete our demonstration of how the characteristic electromagnetic frequency of the coil, Fc, results from the resolution of the electrocapacitative and magnetoinductive wave frequencies, Fa and Fb, of electronic charges." "We further propose that this process, in turn, is driven by the capture of electric massfree energy by massbound charges, in the form of their kinetic energy, and that it is the shedding of this kinetic energy that directly gives rise to blackbody photon production." Experimental Aetherometry, Volume 2B AS2-15 "The aetherometric approach to solving the problem of magnetism" _______________________ A non-experimental monograph that is based upon the data of existing physics but, by being consistent, corrects fundamental or basic physical errors and mistakes regarding the nature and dimensionalities of the magnetic field (intensity and density), their curls, and cyclotron frequency, for both massbound and massfree charges. The gauss and the tesla, and their equivalence, are redefined. Most interesting, a complete fine structure analysis of the wave interactions involved in the structure of the electron, its kinetic energy, and the structure of massfree charge is directly derived. Scientists and engineers apparently have a lot to learn! A highly shortened version of the Correas' abstract, giving salient points: "Dimensional analysis of accepted fundamental functions of magnetic flux density B (Maxwell's 'magnetic induction') and magnetic field intensity H (Maxwell's 'magnetic force') exposes discrepant functions that are systematically inconsistent... We begin by demonstrating how the gauss and the tesla, which are supposed to be equivalent measures of the magnetic field B in separate systems of units, are dimensionally inconsistent with each other...The findings suggest a totally new way of treating the magnetic permeability of a medium, and very different relations of the magnetic field functions to the current density terms Jfree and Jbound. These functions are systematized, for both massfree and massbound charges, and contrasted to those of Maxwell and accepted electromagnetic theory. Lastly, we demonstrate how the dimensionalities of H and B are the same...even if one is the reciprocal of a radius and the other of a wavelength (composite or not), in contrast to the electric field....which is effectively a frequency function with dimensionality of t^-1." ***END of Part 3*** From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Wed May 29 21:05:17 2002 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id VAA23323; Wed, 29 May 2002 21:04:39 -0700 Resent-Date: Wed, 29 May 2002 21:04:39 -0700 Message-ID: <016901c2078e$c5549380$6401a8c0 cs910664a> Reply-To: "Colin Quinney" From: "Colin Quinney" To: Cc: References: Subject: Re: quadrupolar electromagnetic wave Date: Thu, 30 May 2002 00:02:09 -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 6.00.2600.0000 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2600.0000 X-Authentication-Info: Submitted using SMTP AUTH LOGIN at fep02-mail.bloor.is.net.cable.rogers.com from [24.101.98.221] using ID at Thu, 30 May 2002 00:04:03 -0400 Resent-Message-ID: <"T2OLh1.0.Ji5.MJQzy" mx1> Resent-From: vortex-l eskimo.com X-Mailing-List: archive/latest/47185 X-Loop: vortex-l eskimo.com Precedence: list Resent-Sender: vortex-l-request eskimo.com Status: O X-Status: Hi Hamdi, Good question. I E-mailed Raymond Chiao sort of the same question a few days ago and I'm still waiting for a reply. Maybe we should invite him to join one of the forums. Sarfatti is raving about his paper. Chaio's Gravity Radio: http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/gr-qc/pdf/0204/0204012.pdf The other thing was that if the size of the YBCO superconductor was to be one inch, therefore the 12 GHz frequency was set high so that there would be no (refraction?) of the gravity beam, but a lower frequency should also work yet with more scattering. If your receiver is close range though it shouldn't really matter. I can only suggest to just ignore the quadrature aspect for now and try it with a common 2.45 GHz kitchen microwave klystron and with any YBCO superconductors, if you have two of them. I have one, and I've ordered another. If I had two right now, I would attempt it using a common radar detector as part of the receiver and with some good Faraday shielding. Maybe it's wishful thinking on my part but I'd suggest that it's a fairly easy experiment to set-up with mostly "off-the-shelf" components. . and those are the best kind :-) Best Regards, Colin ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2002 11:44 AM Subject: quadrupolar electromagnetic wave > Hi, > > If you had interested on the recent paper "Superconductors as transducers and > antennas for gravitational and electromagnetic radiation", at the end of the > paper it is described a experiment setup with a figure: > > "Figure 2: Schematic of a simple, Hertz-like experiment, in which gravitational > radiation at 12 GHz is emitted and received using two superconductors.

Not "in particular." I apply the same standard to all claims: CF, non-CF, conventional, plasma fusion, or parapsychology for that matter. All claims must be independently replicated at high sigma. No exceptions are granted, except in rare cases such as the atom bomb when the size of the effect is so large and the number of witnesses so many there can be no doubt about the report. This standard is not "insulting" or slanderous. It has been applied universally for the last 400 years to all claims, even those made by eminent scientists such as Darwin and Fleischmann. There is no reason why the Correas or Mills should be exempt. Until they pass this essential test, their claims are interesting but unproven. >I totally disagree. When scientists, such as the Correas, begin to show >their experiments to others in private demonstrations, the reports of >these demonstrations have great significance. Yes, they are significant -- or intriguing, anyway. But they prove nothing. >But that does not mean that the observations by competent observers and >measurers have no significance, as Jed maintains.

"Allowing others to test" is laudable, but no substitute for independent replication. Theories and aether models can prove nothing. The experiment proves the theory, not the other way around. Anything can be patented, even a machine which does not work. Patents add no credibility to a claim. >If, after hearing of these reports no groups take sufficient interest in, >say, building their own PAGD reactors, that is too bad, but it is the way >the world works right now. Yes, it is too bad, but it means the claims are not proven. They are in limbo. The world has always worked this way. No one bothered to replicate the airplane for five years. The Wrights were mainly to blame for that. The Correas are mainly to blame for the lack of interest in their claims. >Aspden for one is quite clear that the PAGD patents give far more >information than is ordinarily given in patents, and this would lead >others to be able to replicate the PAGD if they chose to. The Correas should do more to encourage replications. If I owned one of their gadgets, I would know how to encourage replications. I would soon have hundreds of thousands of people frantically working on the device. I would use the same methods that worked with the airplane in 1908, the transistor in 1952, and the personal computer in 1975. I would avoid the mistakes that prevented interest in the airplane from 1903 to 1908. >So, since the mid 1990s there has been publicly available information to >reproduce PAGD physics, should anyone wish to do so. Yet no one has done it. Something must be amiss. People generally do replicate valuable & interesting inventions, so the problem must be on the Correas' side, at least in part. CF was widely replicated by 1990, even though it was more difficult than the PAGD. >I wish to openly investigate new scientific measurements with a more >global impact on technology, while it is Jed's almost exclusive interest >to conduct business in the cold fusion field. That's incorrect. I would be pleased to market the PAGD or any other gadget, as long as it works. I do not care where the energy comes from. >I am very interested in learning as much about the truth of the workings >of this universe as I can -- its physics and life processes -- which I >believe the scientific establishment continues to obscure in gross fashion. I have no idea whether the scientific establishment and conventional theories are right or wrong. In the case of CF, that remains to be seen. Hagelstein and others say that conventional theory can explain the results. I cannot judge. >Cold fusion/LENR is only one example of how wrong and corrupt the >scientific establishment has become. Jed seems to think most textbook >physics and biology is as solid as a rock -- and going in the right >direction. I disagree. I don't agree or disagree. As long as textbook physics and biology give the right answers and remain useful I will accept them. As Guy Murchie said, we still use Ptolemaic astronomy because "his basic calculations are the most convenient ever devised for navigation." (p. 85) If better physics or biology comes along, I will dump the present versions as quickly as I dump the old WordPerfect versions. Whether any set of answers are actually correct or not -- that is, whether they accurately reflect the true nature of the universe -- is a metaphysical problem of no interest to me. Frankly, I doubt anyone will ever establish this, and the issue has no practical or utilitarian value, so I could not care less about it. >JR: It was not careless.

They are sincere scientists who might have made a mistake or series of >mistakes such that all or part of their work could be in error." I thought about enumerating this possibility but it seems unlikely, given the apparent clear-cut nature of their results. The only source of error that anyone has suggested would be RF, and most people I have spoken with now agree that is unlikely. >But in that case, Jed suggests that since their business plans and >disclosures -- what little he knows of them (!) - are not to his liking, >because they "withhold vitally important technology," the Correas are >"morally depraved monsters." The statement has nothing to do with what I like. Their business plans have failed. The technology has not been developed, sold or adapted, or even replicated. It is not in use anywhere in the world. Therefore some other business plan or strategy is called for. Continuing with this strategy is tantamount to withholding the product from the market. If the product is real, this is like withholding a cure for AIDS for business reasons. Most people and lawmakers agree that would be morally depraved. If you have an effective AIDS cure and you are honestly unable to sell it, that it not depraved, it is inept. It is hard to believe anyone could fail to sell the PAGD, but who knows? Perhaps the Correas are so inept they could not sell a sandwich to a starving man. >It is the same obsession to hate the Correas that prevented Jed from >considering still a 5th obvious possibility - that he may well be wrong in >all of the previous possibilities he enunciated, and the Correas may well >be right about their scientific findings and technologies without being >"morally depraved monsters." No, depravity follows logically. If they are technically correct in their scientific findings they are depraved by definition, in my opinion. All statements about depravity are matters of opinion. Morality does not exist in nature. It is a social & human construct. >. . . and if they don't do it, they are "morally depraved monsters." That >is a term I have not heard Jed apply even to the hot fusioneers at MIT. Of course I have said this about the hot fusion program! >I am appalled that Jed as an editor at I.E. would, without qualification, >undercut my seasoned judgment in my prolonged investigation and >publication of the Correas' work. And I am appalled that any trained scientist or engineer would endorse a claim which is not been independently replicated yet. One might endorse or advocate independent testing. That's a different matter. >Toward what end he thinks the Correas would even attempt to "fake their >results" escapes me . . . The reasons are obvious to any businessman. Researchers everywhere have been known to fake results, even in conventional research recently at Bell Labs. If Mallove does not understand why people often fake results he should not attempt to verify results by visiting labs. >Believe me, if anyone had been financially screwed by the Correas, I would >be among the first to hear about it. That is not the issue, but in any case both the perpetrators and victims often keep financial fraud secret. >How preposterous to imagine that such a mountain of well-integrated work >should be aimed at a fraudulent scheme! It isn't preposterous. This does not follow. Most fraudulent schemes at places like Enron are backed by mountain of conventional, believable research or existing, conventional technology. Many legitimate companies do what Enron claimed they were doing. >First of all, the Correas have already contributed MASSIVELY to society >with their research, their publications, and patents. No, they have not. No one has replicated, and no machines based on this technology have been sold or used. Perhaps they have tried to contribute, but so far they have failed. >I think it says more about society -- the same "society" that for 13 years >has organized itself toward >the objective of killing off and ignoring cold fusion/LENR, no matter what >evidence or entreaties have been given to it. "Society" is not a single unified entity. CF was not killed off. It was widely replicated by hundreds of scientists. The Correa effect should have been replicated by hundreds of scientists too, and I am sure it would have been, if they had presented it correctly in a way that would encourage others to replicate. Assuming it is real. >This is not the first time that society has failed to accept or at least >properly investigate matters of overarching importance, as Jed well knows. Indeed. And in all historical cases I have investigated, the inventors or discoverers were largely to blame. That is why I suspect the Correas are at fault. Their attitude and statements resemble those of the inventors and discoverers in the past who destroyed themselves with the Inventor's Disease. >I think he is suggesting that the Correas might be "morally depraved >monsters" because their approach >and terms for offering their inventions to society do not meet with his >approval. No, because their approach and terms have manifestly failed to work. Society ignores them. If society embraced their invention, I would approve of their approach. Any approach that works is fine with me. >These should be of the highest priority for society to investigate. In that case, it should be the Correas' highest priority to encourage or facilitate the investigation. >We are not just talking about the PAGD, which has been extensively >discussed in IE. We are talking about basic experiments that compel >reconsideration of the aether -- upon which the PAGD surely operates. Until the PAGD it is independently replicated we cannot know whether it operates at all. Documenting something in a magazine is a valuable and laudable exercise, but no substitute for replication. Even if it turns out the gadget does work, that does not prove it has anything to do with aether. Storms and others have suggested alternative hypotheses. > If Jed had put any effort at all into downloading and >examining the Correa monographs, he would have known otherwise. I do not understand these monographs. Either they make no sense, or the technical content is over my head. >Like Moray and so many others, they are determined to take this technology >to the grave >with them.

Obviously I do not believe Tesla or Reich because they have not been replicated! Except possibly by the Correas, but the experiment looks quite different to me.

Jed's ludicrous assessment of Reich and >Tesla has as much value as Weinberg's assessment of cold fusion, namely, >zero value. My assessment is based on the 400 year old gold standard: replication. Weinberg has no standard. >I do not know the identities of the scientists with whom Jed spoke about >this, who allegedly "cannot make head or tail of them" . . . Every scientist I have communicated with except Mallove and Aspden has told me they cannot make head or tail of the Correa web page material. That does not prove the material is meaningless, but it does indicate a failure to communicate. >I have not taken a poll of other readers, and I could not care less about >polls to begin with, but I can assure you that the new terminology that >has been introduced by the Correas is very well defined and the arguments >are clear -- not always simple, but clear. It is not clear to anyone else I know. >Scientific arguments that utterly dismantle a prevailing physics paradigm >cannot be simple . . . Of course they can! Evolution, thermodynamics and special relativity were quite simple. All of the examples in Kuhn's book were simple. The rest of Mallove's message covers various technical issues such as RF, which are over my head. I still think it would be a good idea for the Correas to check for RF with a meter, and I think they should make every effort to separate the effects of solar heating from the putative aether effect. Their devices seems to deliberately mix the two together, which is a bad technique. Sunlight is unpredictable noise, difficult to measure with accuracy, and it seems they make no effort to measure it. They should be conducting these experiments in a mineshaft, not outdoors! That is, assuming, aether energy penetrates the earth the way neutrinos do. I would not know if that is what they claim or not. - Jed From vortex-l-request eskimo.com Thu May 30 10:13:54 2002 Received: (from smartlst localhost) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) id KAA15261; Thu, 30 May 2002 10:13:25 -0700 Resent-Date: Thu, 30 May 2002 10:13:25 -0700 From: Erikbaard aol.com Message-ID: <16c.e5ab6b1.2a27b78a aol.com> Date: Thu, 30 May 2002 13:12:42 EDT Subject: CALTECH: RARE DEUTERIUM AMMONIA FOUND IN SPACE To: vortex-l eskimo.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL 7.0 for Windows US sub 10503 Resent-Message-ID: <"_Sib.0.Nk3.rsbzy" mx1> Resent-From: vortex-l eskimo.com Reply-To: vortex-l eskimo.com X-Mailing-List: archive/latest/47187 X-Loop: vortex-l eskimo.com Precedence: list Resent-Sender: vortex-l-request eskimo.com Status: O X-Status: Hi All - I thought you might find this interesting, especially in that temperature plays a key role in this discovery. THE FOLLOWING RELEASE WAS RECEIVED FROM THE CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, IN PASADENA, AND IS FORWARDED FOR YOUR INFORMATION. (FORWARDING DOES NOT IMPLY ENDORSEMENT BY THE AMERICAN ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY.) Steve Maran, American Astronomical Society Contact: Robert Tindol tindol caltech.edu (626) 395-3631 Images at http://www.submm.caltech.edu/cso/pictures May 29, 2002 Astrophysicists announce surprising discovery of extremely rare molecule in interstellar space PASADENA, Calif.-A rare type of ammonia that includes three atoms of deuterium has been found in a molecular cloud about 1,000 light-years from Earth. The comparative ease of detecting the molecules means there are more of them than previously thought. In a study appearing in the May 20 issue of the Astrophysical Journal Letters, an international team of astronomers reports on the contents of a molecular cloud in the direction of the constellation Perseus. The observations were done with the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory atop Mauna Kea in Hawaii. The molecule in question is called "triply deuterated ammonia," meaning that each molecule is composed of a nitrogen atom and three deuterium atoms (heavy hydrogen), rather than the usual single nitrogen atom and three hydrogen atoms found in the typical bottle of household ammonia. While not unknown on Earth, the molecules, until recently, were thought by experts to be quite rare-so rare, in fact, that the substance was considered too sparse to even be detectable from Earth. But now that scientists have detected triply deuterated ammonia in the interstellar medium, they're still wondering why they were able to do so at all, says Tom Phillips, a physics professor at the California Institute of Technology, director of the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory, and leader of the Caltech team. No other molecules containing three deuterium atoms have ever been detected in interstellar space. "From simple statistics alone, the chances for all three hydrogen atoms in an ammonia molecule to be replaced by the very rare deuterium atoms are one in a million billion," Phillips explains. "This is like buying a $1 state lottery ticket two weeks in a row and winning a $30 million jackpot both weeks. Astronomical odds indeed!" As for the reasons the molecules would exist in the first place, says Dariusz Lis, a senior research associate in physics at Caltech and lead author of the paper, the frigid conditions of the dense interstellar medium allow the deuterium replacement of the hydrogen atoms to take place. At higher temperatures, there would be a back-and-forth exchange of the deuterium atoms between the ammonia molecules and the hydrogen molecules also present in the interstellar medium. But at the frosty 10-to-20 degrees above absolute zero that prevails in the clouds, the deuterium atoms prefer to settle into the ammonia molecules and stay there. The study is important because it furthers the understanding of the chemistry of the cold, dense interstellar medium and the way molecules transfer from grains of dust to the gas phase, Phillips explains. The researchers think the triply deuterated ammonia was probably kicked off the dust grains by the energy of a young star forming nearby, thus returning to the gas state, where it could be detected by the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory. The study was made possible because of the special capabilities of the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory, a 10.4-meter telescope constructed and operated by Caltech with funding from the National Science Foundation. The telescope is fitted with the world's most sensitive submillimeter detectors, making it ideal for seeking out the diffused gases and molecules crucial to understanding star formation. In addition to the Caltech observers, the team also included international members from France led by Evelyne Roueff and Maryvonne Gerin from the Observatoire de Paris, funded by the French CNRS, and astronomers from the Max-Planck-Institut fuer Radioastronomie in Germany.

I found some possibly useful information in the Encyclopedic Dictionary of Electronics and Nuclear Engineering, Robert J Sarbacher, Prentice Hall, EnglewoodCliffs NJ, 1959. Below is a quote of relevant material. Begin quote: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - *Multipole.* Solutions of Laplace's equation (q.v), del^2 phi = 0 are of the form psi = [ar^L + b/r^(L+1)][(P_L)^M(cos theta)](C sin (M theta) + D cos (M theta)) where r, theta, and phi are the spherical polar coordinates; a, b, D, D are constants, and L and M are integers (called quantum numbers). [Note - L and M are lower case, but typed upper case here to avoid confusion between lower case l and 1.] Psi is an electric potential. (P_L)^M(cos theta) are the associated Legendre polynomials whose form depends on L and M. If L=1 and M=0, psi reduces to the form psi = (ar + b/r^2) cos theta = az + b/r^2 cos theta where z is the usual rectangular or cylindrical coordinate. The first term of the potential thus represents the a constant electric field along the z axis, since del psi = -E. The second term represents the potential of an electric dipole. If solutions are obtained for L=2 and higher values, additional terms are obtained, corresponding to combinations of charges at the origin called quadrupoles, octopoles, and higher order multipoles. The moments of of quadrupoles and higher order multipoles are tensors. Multipoles are encountered in dealing with the electric fields of atoms, molecules, and nucleii. [and apparently superconductors!] *Radiation, multipole.* The radiation field in free space may be expanded into multipole fields, electric and magnetic, as well as into plane waves. Each multipole radiation field is characterized by the numbers L and M, and by its parity. An electric multipole radiation, L, M, has a pure transverse magnetic field and a parity (-1)^L. A magnetic multipole radiation, L, M, has a pure transverse electrostatic field and parity -(-1)^L. A single photon of multipole radiation has an energy h nu, and an angular momentum L h-bar with component M h-bar in the Z direction. Multipoles with Z = 0 do not exist; those with l=1 are termed dipole, and with L=2, quadrupole, and so forth. The amplitudes of the various multipole radiations emitted by a moving charge and magnet distribution are proportional to the multipole moments of the distribution. In nuclear transition, these moments depend on the initial and final states. Above: h is Planck's constant; h-bar = h / (2 Pi); and nu is the frequency. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - end quote. Now for my comments. >From the above information, it appears that, though it may well be that unshieldable "gravitational" type radiation might be achieved by use of multipole radiation, useful for communications, the photons involved still have the high energy to momentum ratio of c that plagues photon rocket design, thus do not at first glance seem to have the hoped for potential for propulsion applications. However, if the radiation can be used to produce a projected "static near field" upon a distant object, then it might be used to create a momentum transfer beam that escapes the c = E/p ratio problem. To answer your question about how to generate quadrupole fields, it appears that accelerating (oscillating) multipoles is the way to do it. Multipoles can consist of combinations of electrostatic or magnetic dipoles. Oscillating multipoles can be simulated by (electrostic) dipole and (magnetic) loop antenna combinations. I am no electrodynamicist, so it would of course be good to get a professional opinion on this. Just trying to be as helpful as possible.

The 7 regions are as follows: Multiverse Universe Galaxy Solar System Planet A Region a on Planet A Person or life form or a specific object in a region Each of the above 7 regions in imaginary space of being has the following partitions of being: An infinite set of energy dimensions or ideal higher dimensions A infinite set of parallel universes per energy dimension A infinite set of timelines per parallel universe 7 rotary magnetic dimensions 60 degrees apart An object or life form of being may exist and live in any of the above regions of imaginary space and partitions of any region of imaginary space. In order for an object or a life form to live in a specific region of pace, and partition of that region of space, the object must orient the energies of its atoms and cells to fit within the desired region and partition of space. For instance a life form such as a human being, may reorient their cells and atoms of their body to 1 of 7 magnetic orientations on a 360 degree circle which are 60 degrees apart by immersing the human being a set of energy waves or radio waves which change the magnetic orientations of the atoms and cells of the human being to correct magnetic region of space.

There are 7 regions to every imaginary space and object, or plane of existence and being which represent the 7 sides of a hyper dimensional magic cube, where the 8th side is the doorway to another cube or universe of existence and being ( a cube within a cube). The 7 regions are as follows:

Multiverse
Universe
Galaxy
Solar System
Planet
A Region a on Planet
A Person or life form or a specific object in a region

Each of the above 7 regions in imaginary space of being has the following partitions of being:

An infinite set of energy dimensions or ideal higher dimensions
A infinite set of parallel universes per energy dimension
A infinite set of timelines per parallel universe
7 rotary magnetic dimensions 60 degrees apart

An object or life form of being may exist and live in any of the above regions of imaginary space and partitions of any region of imaginary space.   In order for an object or a life form to live in a specific region of pace, and partition of that region of space, the object must orient the energies of its atoms and cells to fit within the desired region and partition of space.

For instance a life form such as a human being, may reorient their cells and atoms of their body to 1 of 7 magnetic orientations on a 360 degree circle which are 60 degrees apart by immersing the human being a set of energy waves or radio waves which change the magnetic orientations of the atoms and cells of the human being to correct magnetic region of space.  These magnetic regions of space may be called other dimensions of being by some life forms.  

Also a life form such as a human being may accelerate or change the frequencies of the time-space pulses around the human body with radio waves to move the human body into a faster timeline or another energy dimension or parallel universe.

I believe that there are approximately 18 logical energy dimensions of being which may exist within any of the regions and partitions of space defined above as follows:

1. The eternal perfect ideal forms of all possible imaginary states of being and objects of being in environments of being.
2. Chaos or unformed and unstructured energy
3. The state of creation and destruction of any energy or the beginning and end of any object or state of being.
4. Ordered energy formations and partitions
5. Basic concepts of ordered energy such as goodness, neutrality, evil
6. Numerical concepts of ordered energy
7. Geometrical concepts of ordered energy
8. Linguistic concepts of ordered energy such as alphabets, languages, signs, and meanings
9. Sensory concepts of meaning such as feelings, emotions, and thoughts.
10.General Archetypes, histories, and memories of any culture or region and partition of space and being.

13. Primitive life forms such as plants, and non-tool using animals.
14. Complex life forms such as tool using animals
15. Complex life forms that are able to change timelines and time places mentally and physically by using mechanical tools or by using the mind and spirit naturally.
16. Complex life forms that are able to change space regions and partitions of space regions in their bodies, and environments by using mechanical tools or by using the mind and spirit naturally.

I found some possibly useful information in the Encyclopedic Dictionary of Electronics and Nuclear Engineering, Robert J Sarbacher, Prentice Hall, EnglewoodCliffs NJ, 1959. Below is a quote of relevant material. Begin quote: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - *Multipole.* Solutions of Laplace's equation (q.v), del^2 phi = 0 are of the form psi = [ar^L + b/r^(L+1)][(P_L)^M(cos theta)](C sin (M theta) + D cos (M theta)) where r, theta, and phi are the spherical polar coordinates; a, b, D, D are constants, and L and M are integers (called quantum numbers). [Note - L and M are lower case, but typed upper case here to avoid confusion between lower case l and 1.] Psi is an electric potential. (P_L)^M(cos theta) are the associated Legendre polynomials whose form depends on L and M. If L=1 and M=0, psi reduces to the form psi = (ar + b/r^2) cos theta = az + (b/r^2) cos theta where z is the usual rectangular or cylindrical coordinate. The first term of the potential thus represents a constant electric field along the z axis, since del psi = -E. The second term represents the potential of an electric dipole. If solutions are obtained for L=2 and higher values, additional terms are obtained, corresponding to combinations of charges at the origin called quadrupoles, octopoles, and higher order multipoles. The moments of quadrupoles and higher order multipoles are tensors. Multipoles are encountered in dealing with the electric fields of atoms, molecules, and nucleii. [and apparently superconductors!] *Radiation, multipole.* The radiation field in free space may be expanded into multipole fields, electric and magnetic, as well as into plane waves. Each multipole radiation field is characterized by the numbers L and M, and by its parity. An electric multipole radiation, L, M, has a pure transverse magnetic field and a parity (-1)^L. A magnetic multipole radiation, L, M, has a pure transverse electrostatic field and parity -(-1)^L. A single photon of multipole radiation has an energy h nu, and an angular momentum L h-bar with component M h-bar in the Z direction. Multipoles with Z = 0 do not exist; those with L=1 are termed dipole, and with L=2, quadrupole, and so forth. The amplitudes of the various multipole radiations emitted by a moving charge and magnet distribution are proportional to the multipole moments of the distribution. In nuclear transition, these moments depend on the initial and final states. Above: h is Planck's constant; h-bar = h / (2 Pi); and nu is the frequency. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - end quote. Now for my comments. >From the above information, it appears that, though it may well be that unshieldable "gravitational" type radiation might be achieved by use of multipole radiation, useful for communications, the photons involved still have the high energy to momentum ratio of c that plagues photon rocket design, thus do not at first glance seem to have the hoped for potential for propulsion applications. However, if the radiation can be used to produce a projected "static near field" upon a distant object, then it might be used to create a momentum transfer beam that escapes the c = E/p ratio problem. To answer your question about how to generate quadrupole radiation, it appears that accelerating (oscillating) multipoles is the way to do it. Multipoles can consist of combinations of electrostatic and/or magnetic dipoles. Oscillating multipoles can be simulated by (electrostic) dipole and (magnetic) loop antenna combinations containing oscillating currents. I am no electrodynamicist, so it would of course be good to get a professional opinion on this. Just trying to be as helpful as possible. Following is some selected old vortex quotes and parts of my responses which you may also find relevant to this issue. >Impulse Gravity Generator Based on Charged YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-y} Superconductor with >Composite Crystal Structure > >Authors: Evgeny Podkletnov, Giovanni Modanese >Comments: LaTeX, 32 pages, 7 figures in separated GIF and JPG files >Subj-class: General Physics > > The detection of apparent anomalous forces in the vicinity of high-Tc > superconductors under non equilibrium conditions has stimulated an > experimental research in which the operating parameters of the > experiment have been pushed to values higher than those employed > in previous attempts.

If force can be applied in a a beam-like fashion then Paul Hill of NASA in his book *Unconventional Flyining Objects* had it exactly right. Such a force can be used to eliminate air resistance and to push against the earth or sun in order to achieve propulsion. He deduced the existence of such a force from his analsis of UFO sightings, at least one of which was a very remakable sighting of his own. One thought I had was the possibility that some kind of energy confining tube is being created by the device. This would account for the narrow beam and lack of 1/r^2 dispersion. However, is some kind of energy confinement can be generated, then such a packet might be capable accumulating zero point energy? It is an interesting and well known effect that when a potential is applied across a short gap between two superconductors that electrons will tunnel back and forth across the gap in enormous but synchronized quantities, thereby creating radio wave emission that dissipates energy from the gap as if it were a resistor, yet without creating heat. I this case there may be tunneling over a somewhat longer distance, due to the enormous voltage gradient, and it may also be that the gas particles near the face of the superconducor plate are points of condensation for the electrons. When such electrons tunnel, they tend to do so in pairs. This effect would create a longitudinal wave front eminating from the superconductor face. It still remains to how out how such eminations of parallel EM planes can trap energy from the universe, or otherwise violate COE. At 5:27 PM 8/8/1, Robert Stirniman wrote: [snip] >Hi Horace. Way interesting. >Do you have any references handy about this? >Thanks. >Robert Stirniman Yes. Any reference to the AC Josephson effect will help. Specifically, I have *Superconductors, Conquering Technologies New Frontier*, Randy Simon and Andrew Smith, Plenum Press, 1988, p53, ff. There are some amazing numbers involved in the AC Josephson effect. A millionth of a volt produces an oscillation across a Josphson Junction at 500 MHz. That is over a distance of say 10^-9 cm, or a gradient of 10^-6 V / 10^-9 m = 10^3 V/m. TO speculate, given that Podkletnov's gradient is on the order of 10^6 V/m, the frequency might be 500 MHz x 10^3, or 5x10^11 Hz, or a wavelength of 0.06 cm. However, I suspect the power supply doesn't ever actually apply the full 2 MV to the SC surface, but rather that the quickly established low resistance plasma prevents much of a voltage drop from forming across the vacuum gap. If the appx. 10^6 V/m gradient Podkletnov used is right, then there is no need to operate at in the megavolt range at all. A smaller gap, say 1 cm operating a 10^4 V should work as well. Further, since the full 2 MV may never have actually been applied to the gap in Podkletnov's experiment, much less voltage may suffice. It seems to me the important thing is to have the anode (the target electrode) transparent to the longitudinal waves. Perhaps a grid of some sort would do a good job of this. Also, the gas most provide electron tunneling destination sites, and apparently argon is good for this if my speculation is anywhere near right. Therefore the gas pressure must be adjusted to the gradient so as to keep the avg. molecular spacing of the gas at approximately the typical tunneling distance. Setting the tunneling distance (by adjusting gas pressure) approximately equal to the AC Josephson wavelength (a function of the gradient) might be useful as well. Of additional interest, it is not surprising that matched superconductors can reflect and synchronize to transform plane waves, a form of multipole wave, since quantum coherence guarantees synchronization over a wide area, and thus a wide arrray of multiple synchronized poles. >PHYSICS NEWS UPDATE >The American Institute of Physics Bulletin of Physics News >Number 551 August 8, 2001 by Phillip F.
