The Playground

Well, I am interested to see where the method outlined by LDM ends up.

We could choose 1000 K (726.85 C) as the start point. The starting emissivity for this T would be the respective value in the Lugano report Plot 1, I suppose.

I thought I had an Excel file made by someone that digitized this at some point. We should agree on the alumina total emissivity vs temperature plot to use before getting carried away and introducing extra complications into this method comparison.

Maybe someone that can use Python can use the code from the TC "Comment" report appendix and run another parallel test?

Or maybe we should use one of those temperatures that were used in the TC report for comparison to something already done (run 5 or 6, the "jump"), saving some work?

Thoughts?

EDIT: This link is to Bob Higgins' file, which has a good alumina total Emissivity vs Temp plot we can use (on second tab).

Bob: "I.E. Are these people still conducting physical research / testing in LENR, only writing papers.."

"Muzuno" is not a persons name

Perhaps you can find the correct spelling here

McKubre: retired from research for the time being in NZ

Quote from Alan Smith

Thanks for the advice. I might well be at ICCF-21 'if I am spared'I. BTW, have been to the Keys many time in the past, and to South Beach a few times. I used to stay in a beachfront cabin at the 'White Sands' on Grassy Key and go fishing while Madame sunbathed. I will check out the # problem later.

Alan this is OT in this thread, I am sorry to respond here. Grassy Key was blown away in years ago (maybe 20) now rebuilt whenever you were there last. We used to winter down there in Tavernier key it also was blown away recently (last year) . I hear now that Key West is back but the main brunt this year was upper keys. The first time my wife and I went there we decided to leave the DC area and move there. This was 35 years ago. Still in DC but coming to Miami this Sunday. I hope we cross paths somehow.

Thanks,

I am unfamiliar with who Dr. Nagel is. Can you provide a recap?

Unfortunately, either Mr. Rothwell or Mr. Weaver had not seen my post or do not feel inclined to respond. I would be nice to have a short update on who are the real players in LENR research.

I now there are some others such as Bob Higgins. I admire his openness and educated posts. I do not know if his research is a "hobby" (although impressive) or a formal research project. It probably will be difficult

for a single hobbyist to have the resources, equipment, time and breadth of knowledge to cover all the disciplines needed. I.E. chemistry, calorimetery, radiation detection, materials science, electrical controls, etc. etc. Even Edison had a large group working on projects that he "got credit for". I admire these people, but do not envy the task in front of them.

That is why I was curious as to the status of the list above.

Bob I would have missed this alas, I was discussing the warm in the winter -- Keys in the far Southern US with Alan. ( not sure where people come from that is the beauty of our forum)

I hosted a person who is nameless but I live in DC and we (wife and I) went to see two research level scientists that have grad students also. Clearances were an issue with one scientist, so we had the nicest opportunity to visit them at their home. Nothing is like having a stranger over and making them a friend. It is probably more important than the story that follows. The other scientist/researcher is Dr. Nagel treats ( he treats my wife and I and nameless person) well like we were treated like family also ( both scientists did, I will never forget this). He ->Dr. Nagel has a complete research lab at GW in DC. He is one of the most kindest and sincere and able man I have ever met.

We did a tour (want to see my electron microscope ? kinda stuff) Again he is the most amazing man. And I have a broad feeling he is part of ICCF-21 hence I am going. I have worked for and with many prominent folks. I am not sure what the real cycle is. So here it goes student-engineer-scientist-researcher-grad:student repeat. Anyway he has all the equipment required to duplicate and we saw some of the setups. To say this very kindly the tests --- were not rigged they were real. There is real (almost) real funding behind this.

I asked if I could take pics of one of the labs. He was surely. The point is google this man. He is just amazing. (both are).

Anyway maybe the reason you do not see a response to your above query is that they (Jed and Dew) may not have seen it. The software does not seem have an notification other than the main box , So they did not see it is my guess. If someone favors one of my posts I know that that they do not agree but have seen and ack the post.

I just changed out the original equipment spark plugs in my 2010 Chevy. Just shy of 191000 km on them. I was told that they were meant to be good for 160000 km (100000 miles) when I bought the car. They still look pretty good; barely any carbon on the insulators. Amazing.

I will harvest the tiny specks of iridium from them if I can.

Ahlfors only hints,

where others would go on to say.

Doing this he confuses people,

and makes them sad all day.

Extensive enhancement on the Smith window photo reveals this:

OH MY GOD! - MUONS ...

Don't be afraid: "Millions of these particles strike your body each second"

I showed it to my 8 years old daughter and asked her, what she sees there.

She said: It's a window! Shure? Yes, daddy!

Should I also show her a picture of pipe?

Proton 21?

So all the AI robots are going to go insane after a shower!

What about Quantum computers ?
