That is my point Jay......
That is my point Jay......You have not been paying attention. I pointed out in a previous post that Lovell wrote in his book that most of the Teflon had been "cooked away" with the oxygen.
So what I would like to know from the Apollo 13 investigators is given the fact that the melting point of Teflon is 600 degrees F roughly, and given that 10-20 joules was enough to ignite some of the Teflon and start the fire, and given that the tank was heated to ONE THOUSAND DEGREES F, lot more juice in there then as compared with the the 10-20 joule spark, "how was it that they determined all of the original 0.13 pounds of Teflon remained for combustion?" Sure it did not "crumble away", but maybe it melted off the wires, or some was burned off. How can 0.13 pounds of Teflon combust if it is not near the spark? How can all 0.13 pounds be available if the tank has been heated to ONE THOUSAND DEGREES FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME?
Terminology aside, and I hope it would be rather obvious that my posting Mr. Cortright's own words was intended as a bit of satiric irony, "crumbling", really now, call it what you like Mr. Cortright, it is incumbent upon you to show us what happened to the Teflon. If you say such and such happened, you must show us with simple experiments why that is the case. For example, the obvious way to start would be to heat an exact replica tank to 1000 degrees F, just as was alleged to have happened to Apollo 13's O2 tank two and then examine the contents. show us the wires. Show us where is the Teflon, how is the Teflon. Show us where is the aluminum, how is the aluminum. More importantly, if this is a real investigation, show yourselves these things.
If the investigators are claiming that this is what happened, then they must have experimental support. The investigators are not entitled to simply say Teflon cooked of the wires without providing experimental evidence directly related to the alleged experience of the wires(being heated to 1000 degrees F starting in a cryogenic oxygen bath until all the O2 is removed by the heating process). They provide details of experiments to be sure, but they are experiments outside the context of what they claimed was the actual experience of the wires. AND, they provide absolutely no data, absolutely NO experimental details with regard to the quantification of the Teflon available for combustion. They SIMPLY CLAIM WITHOUT ANY EXPERIMENTAL SUPPORT that 0.13 pounds were available. This simply cannot be the case. All 0.13 pounds of Teflon was not available for combustion, by necessity of the alleged forensics, some Teflon came off the wires so those naked wires could serve as the sparking source. If the Teflon is off the wires, even if the Teflon were to remain chemically intact, which is rather questionable, this no longer wire insulating Teflon would no longer be anywhere near the 10-20 joule spark. Where is the Teflon, what is the Teflon, how much is the Teflon that indeed combusted? How MUCH was there? WHY that much? My little experiment above would provide the answer.
The same is true with regard to the Cortright investigation's claims about aluminum as a potential fuel source. What aluminum burned? How much? How was the tank changed to prevent aluminum burning again if such and such was the circumstance of aluminum combustion?
In light of these simple considerations, it is easy to see how FRAUDULENT the Cortright report is with regard to the details of their solution, their chemistry.
This is one of the most compelling findings in the history of Apollo, more relevant to "Apollo truth" than the "One small step" line of Armstrong. The fact that the Apollo 13 Investigation Committee presented to the American Congress and We The People a fraudulent forensic report is one of the most significant events in all of 20th century U.S. history. And to think that you read it here first, that this is its first presentation. It is indeed an interesting world in which we live.....
No. Here's your post again.
Clearly you already had in mind that "crumbling away" necessarily meant some process that precluded combustion. I am now holding you accountable for your assumptions. Kindly do not try to change horses.
What do you think forensic engineers do? What do you think is the product of their work?
Nonsense. Your "interest" began with asserting that it couldn't have happened, and that this therefore proved fraud. When pressed, you admitted that computations would need to be done to determine whether or not combustibility was plausible. Now nearly a month later you have failed to produce any such rigor of computation, although in its stead you have unloaded a veritable truckload of obfuscation and backpedaling on a daily basis.
Now you're desperately fishing for hints and help, in the manner you've used so often before. You are now saying you're "interested" in the process, hoping one of us knowledgeable posters will post a lengthy and correct analysis of the problem that you can then later take credit for.
And I shall continue to ignore them until you can demonstrate competence.
I asked you to demonstrate your competence by identifying and discussing the standard work in empiricism in forensic engineering. You can't do it, therefore I have no interest in your newfound claims to expertise.
Asked and answered.
Asked and answered.
Further, the "crumbling away" from your news article that you have tried to apply also to the aluminum theory is not relevant to it. You are apprently trying to bait people into thinking the article substantiates such a claim so that you can complain further of its absence from the formal report.
No.
As I mentioned, this is the classic conspiracy theorist's gambit: to pretend that no special expertise is necessary to find fraud in the work of professionals that has stood the test of time for decades. Because conspiracy theorists never have appropriate credentials or qualifications, they redefine the problem to make whatever expertise they have seem applicable. That's cheating.
You previously admitted that it would take a great deal of expertise, equipment, and time to properly investigate the Apollo 13 final report. You said this in order to excuse yourself from the burden of having to provide the promised rigor. You attempted to make a case that the problem was so intractably hard that we were irrational for forcing you to do it. Now you're saying it's child's play -- but you still want others to do your homework and provide the rigor.
Further your claims to expertise once again fail the test of consistency. You said you were "eminently qualified" to criticize these professional findings, and that such expertise consisted of "multiple degrees in science." So in one sentence you simultaneously defined what you believed appropriate expertise consisted of, and claimed to have it.
Now you're saying that all you've had is one introductory chemistry class 40 years ago, and that this is all anyone ever needs. No one is interested in watching you flip-flop every day for months. Time to put up or shut up.
You have an offer on the table right now to discuss this in person with professional engineers in your area. You clearly have no intention of taking it, so I write you off as nothing more than anonymous bluster.
I think it's clear who the fraud is in this case.

, laughable backpeddling and now a little remark at the end of that statement showing complete ignorance.
