  • Joint CSER & CLTR Response to the UK Government’s refreshed Biological Security Strategy

    mail?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmcusercontent.com%2F4ea4100d3725552d8efc5a0ef%2Fimages%2F7b66a10c-1bc5-dab6-b911-a604647bb2a9.png&t=1688994661&ymreqid=4d3ea96b-ee1a-f21c-1cd4-67008f01e300&sig=ewGxvh6zSJ.RUIhj7GM1RQ--~D

    Sophie Rose, Cassidy Nelson, Lalitha Sundaram, Tom Hobson, Alexandra Klein & Piers Millett, from CSER & CLTR issued a joint response to the UK Government’s refreshed Biological Security Strategy. There are many important commitments to strengthening the UK’s capabilities for preventing, detecting and responding to biological threats and an allocation of £1.5bn a year to implement them in the Biological Security Strategy (BSS). The response includes recommendations to deliver on these commitments.

  • EEVblog has some complaints about them using a piece of copper (on which the material is allegedly "thermally desposited") to prove superconductivity. The alleged superconductor moves when the magnet is being moved. Well, that's what copper does, with or without thermally deposited stuff on it. That doesn't mean that everything they claim is bunk, but this idiotic demonstration sparks some scepticism.

    The superconductors need to push themselves away from the magnet by exclusion of magnetic fields in their immediate vicinity.
    Moving a magnet next to copper (most metals) simply makes counter-EMF like a rudimentary motor/generator.

  • Rossi writes an unusual long sock puppet comment.

    Dr Rossi,

    I am an expert of electric vehicles.

    I analyzed through the comments and your answers how the Ecat powered EV test will be made, and I agree it is convincing, with one exception: the two supplementaty hours to run the Ecat powered EV after disconnecting the Ecat once the 12 regular hours have been run through. I think it is useless, because if the charge of the batteries, as well as their genuinity, will be certified by an independent third party that is expert of that specific EV, such a supplement of two hours would discredit the same independent third party, as if their job would be not enough, which would discredit also all the other issues they are going to certify. I strongly suggest you to stop the test once the independent third party has measured the battery after 12 hours.

    Good luck

    The idea with 2 extra hours was his own:

    ...it will last 14 hours, because after the 12 hours with the Ecat, we will disconnect the Ecat and will proceed for a couple of hours more without the Ecat, to show that the battery of the EV was still full at the end of the 12 hours

    For some reason he decided that it's no good and now needs someone to talk him out of it.

    An effective demo of the meissner effect would be to show defection of the hanging sample from the vertical without any subsequent movement of the rare earth magnet.

  • Looks like the LK-99 is a no go.

    Well, Seems Like LK-99 Isn’t a Room Temperature Superconductor After All (msn.com)

    Good thing we have the life changing e-cat EV demo in Italy coming up soon.

    That couldn't possible by a flop.

    "there are voluminous numbers of unscrupulous people who do not want to see him succeed"

    Such remarks are conspiracy theories. Businesses are desperate to see new energy solutions arise as these will open new markets and product developments, even to current energy players.

    "I personally believe that there is no chance that Andrea Rossi would be arranging for a demonstration of an E-Cat-powered electric vehicle if he had any doubt at all that it would not work reliably."

    Sadly, over the past 10 years, Rossi has presented one flaky demo after the other without any rigorous science to backup his claims. His light source was perhaps the most embarrassing one of all as he showed to the community his lack of knowledge about luminous flux, confusing the notions of energy and power.

    Rossi needs to realize that he will not be able to fool another investor into some half backed science project, but he will need to pull out some solid demonstration to convince the community. With the claims he is making, such demonstration would be very easy to realize and without disclosing any technical data. I just hope he gets it right this time.

    Huh? The magnet won't move. It is sitting on the table and is much heavier than the LK-99 sample.

    If you meant the LK-99 sample won't move, that is unclear too. The inward force from the string would make things unstable, regardless if it is truly the Meissner effect or just some diamagnetic/paramagnetic phenomena.

    Plus, I don't know, maybe L and K would have thought of this and done this simple experiment if it would have worked. They may know more about the Meissner effect than us.

    Your response does not make sense in the context of this post as follows:


  • Sam rather than quoting someone else, tell us what you think? Do you think Rossi will wow the world and take home the Nobel prize? Here is my guess. A big flat flop with easily faked results, fake validators, fake measurements, no press coverage except ECW. This will quickly be followed by a new iteration of the E-cat that will be much better in a year or two.

  • The Rossi saga began with Petroldragon 40 years ago. Waiting now for 480 months, still nothing.

    I think it is going to be worth the wait.
