Merged Cold Fusion Claims

Today I was listening (CD version) to an article on cold fusion in the New Scientist of 5th November. I hasten to add that I didn't atually understand any of it, but find it so ineteresting to try. There was something about the LHC there too and about magnets and the experiments being done there. A question occurs: if particles are being sent off to travel, why is it better to make them travel in a circle and is it the magnets that make them follow that circle? I appreciate that it would of course be somewhat difficult to build a 27-mile straight tube!! In theory, would a straight tube work better?

Yes, the magnetic field directs the particles in a circle.

Yes, the accelerator is trying to speed up (or pump energy into) the particles. It can't do this instantaneously, so it has to do this over a distance.

It's not that you can't build a 27-mile straight tube, it's that you can't turn around at the end. A circular accelerator is effectively infinitely long, so the acceleration can be done over a longer path. It can also set up collisions to happen on multiple passes (since not all the accelerated particles will hit the target on the first pass).

Ooh, National Instruments is supposedly involved now.

If the voices in your head tell you to retreat to your basement, eat nothing but wheat germ, and build a chemtrail-powered spaceship out of spark plugs and small loudspeakers; and the voices tell you to pulse the speakers with all Twitter traffic mentioning "Jodie Foster", "CIA", or "Mercury Seven" ... well, National Instruments will happily sell you a waveform generator, a GPIB card, and a copy of Labview. It's what they do. But the resulting blog post, "National Instruments signs on to build controls for brainwave spaceship", should not lead you to believe that NI has somehow verified or tested the spaceship.

What's next? "Pepsi-Cola signs on to hydrate E-Cat operators." "Karma Copy signs on to generate E-Cat sales forms." "FedEx signs on to run E-Cat international logistics and transport."

You will find that most people here are acquainted with cross section of collision, and electrostatic repulsion, as well as other sub aprticle phenomena of itnerrest involved in fusion. Saying that cold fusion is only an engineering problem and comparing it to metal hammering, is , shall I say, rather a poor analogy.

I'm oddly reminded of a movie I recall seeing. I don't remember the title or much about it, except that it was rather horrible. I DO remember an ill-groomed australian kid splitting atoms with hammer and chisel, and then using the resulting energy to carbonate beer. That's about as good an analogy for fission as forge welding is for fusion.

The film does demonstrate a healthy Australian outlook on life though.

Farm-Animals-RUs are supplying the bulls***.

If Rossi buys some off the shelf measurement equipment from NI, he will still be perfectly capable to miscalibrate his thermocouples. Only now he will be
able to miscalibrate them more accurately to get the exact desired output.
I would not be surprised to see that now his "excess energy" calculations
will produce round numbers like 1.00 MW

LOL

(Pfft. This yahoo can't be serious!)

Actuually, it is MUCH MUCH more funny. Rossie *disowned* / disclaimed any business relationship , said he approved nothing, and asked Sterling to take it down. http://www.journal-of-nuclear-physics.com/?p=510#comments LOL ? ROFL ?

I don't know if there's an acronym for one's legitimate reaction to the latest developments in the Rossi - Allen collaboration, but have a look at

http://pesn.com/2011/11/15/960195_S...down_of_Rossis_approval_of_Leonardo-ECat.com/

Wherein we are told that Rossi denounces the Allen website as useless, but thinks it would be best if it stays up, and Allan's going to use Google ad funding for it. My favourite bit of Allen's explanation of the situation is
Having been burned so many times, and having a challenging personality, he's quite resistant to allowing people to work with him. By the time it was pulled, the "personnel" page ultimately ended up with just one name: Andrea Rossi.

For "burned" read "banged up in the slammer"; and his resistance to having people work with him is either they know what's going on and then they get jailed for smuggling gold into Switzerland, like Rossi's old Petroldragon collaborator, or they have no idea what's going on and Rossi wants to keep it that way.

Did he then beat the tar out of something? I was under the impression that TF2's treatment of Australian technology was rather unique.

:D
yes, you can be sure that pepsi-cola and coca-cola will buy several 1MW eCat plants !!!

:D
 
Looks like the University of Illinois and Iowa State University are becoming big players in this technology.
