Any Updates on Mark Basile's Study?

Any news on the research project that Mark Basile has put together?

According to ANETA.org, they reached their goal in January and that the study is in progress.

Also, what lab did they decide was the best for this study?
 
I've been told that no information will be released untilo the final results are published. I believe Mark Basile has said he will release all data, whatever the outcome, but don't quote me on that just yet. All communication from me to Mark has beenn one-way. We don't know if any of the suggestions I relayed to Mark from Sunstealer and others here were taken into account when they developed their protocol. Wait and see...
 
Has anyone actually confirmed Basile actually planed to do this outside of the website produced by Rich Shaddock (ANETA.org)?

We all know that the A.N.E.T.A is an organisation of one. They claim to have raised $6000 to fund this study but, no news has been released about any progress.

I think there never was any plan to do a study. "Truthers" won't care as long as the idea that there will be a study remains. This "study" will never take place and it was never going to.
 
Does anyone else find it interesting that the "Physics challenge" prize sponsored by A.N.E.T.A was donated to a study that A.N.E.T.A was the chief promoter? Everyone does know that markbasile.org is owned by A.N.E.T.A.?
 
Bump

Any progress now that Mark has more than enough money? Anyone know an address where questions about this can be sent?

Does Mark even know about this? The quote he got for tests is over 4.5 years old.

There WERE multiple donors, including one fairly major one I think, and they are trying to gear up for this now. If it's anything like what I went through trying to find Jim Millette, it will take some time.
 
According to Mark basile.org

Money has been raise an tests have begun by independent lab technicians.

Labs have been surveyed for the capabilities they have, including some new capabilities in DSC and Raman (like FTIR).

Staring with known primer chips doing SEM/EDX, FTIR and Raman to characterize chip composition and establish the non production of molten metal/iron from this material during DSC exposure to 400 - 600 Centigrade as well as the exotherm/endotherm character of the primer breakdown.

Next steps: move on to red/gray chips doing the same test, in characterizing composition, then showing the exotherms and reaction products.

Why are they doing this? This has nothing to do with what they said they were going to do:

Proposal:
Sample Preparation:
- Red/gray chip separation using optical microscopy and magnetic attraction to assist in isolation of particles of interest.
- Optical images of collected particulates as collected at appropriate magnifications to record condition as collected.
Sample Analysis:
- SEM/EDX with elemental quantification of red/gray chips, both red and gray layers.
- FTIR analysis of organic components of red/gray chips, both red and gray layers.
- ESCA small spot technique with argon ion sputter for depth profiling to definitively establish the presence of elemental aluminum within the red layer of the red/gray chips. Scans of gray layer also to be taken to add to information base.
- DSC analysis of red/gray chips focusing on exothermic/endothermic reactions near 400 degrees C. Some chips to be scanned in inert atmosphere and some in air or oxygen containing gas stream.
- SEM/EDX with elemental quantification of residual products of DSC analysis of red/gray chips.
- Optical images of reaction products after DSC experiments.

I guess the idea is to test primer paint which has not been adhered to a layer of rust then test the red/gray chips which have been adhered to a layer of rust then shout iron microspheres it must be thermite.

Why else would Ziggy be barking on about iron-microspheres ?
 
I have a question for the Basile team:

Are these chips attracted to a magnet?

Purpose: to see if the following study can be replicated.
Repeatable experiments is fundamental to the scientific method.

Any ideas why he would say this and then start his study like he has? :confused:
 
Any updates on when they plan to start? They've had the money for a while. The only thing I've seen is the plan of what to do with the money they don't spend (give it to Gage).

Does anyone actually think they will do the study as planed?

Yes I do.

Are you a stakeholder in the research?
 
DGM said:
Is it a prerequisite for asking about the study?

Why have they started by wasting money on tests that have nothing to do with the original study? Do they have tons of money to burn?

Hey, if the "Stakeholders" don't hold their feet to the fire, just like with the earlier flawed study by Harrit, or all the money AE911 has burned through in accomplishing approximately 0, who are we to ask? They will continue to trust, and trust, and trust some more.

Are you saying there are no flaws with the Harris study? Tell me, what sample size should they have used? Did they use any known thermite samples for comparison?

Did the test any of the chips they found not to be "thermetic"? It would appear not because the copied the "paint chip" data out of a book. :rolleyes:

Did they test any of the samples deemed thermitic, for the ability to self oxidize, ignite without the presence of atmospheric oxygen?
