I am eating my oatmeal
its easier to chew on than grits .
Thanks for adding some color to my morning.

Dewey - Maybe we should call it... wait for it... Lux Energy?
After all, IH came up with the concept, Rossi just latched upon it and we now see the first photo of the result!

Jed is over dramatizing "the situation"
Ya think?!?
"Until I know this sure uncertainty,
I'll entertain the offered fallacy.”"
The perfect quote!
LOL

Yes I do think that this is a comedy rather than tragedy.
In the wider world there are bigger comedies such as the USA burning through $500M in Syria

There is another quote about uncertainty.. but Feynman cannot match the Bard
"The scientist has a lot of experience with ignorance and doubt and uncertainty,
and this experience is of very great importance, I think.
When a scientist doesn’t know the answer to a problem, he is ignorant.
When he has a hunch as to what the result is, he is uncertain.
And when he is pretty darn sure of what the result is going to be, he is still in some doubt.
We have found it of paramount importance that in order to progress we must recognize our ignorance and leave room for doubt.
Scientific knowledge is a body of statements of varying degrees of certainty
— some most unsure, some nearly sure, but none absolutely certain"
LC - yep, In a masterstroke of consistency, Rossi made the Lux Energy approach immediately and completely worthless. Do quark particles have rights on Planet Rossi? I hear they are considering a defamation action.
Axil I think you meant that Mills produced 10 nm wavelength(UV) rather than 10 mm( microwave)?

Yes, I stand corrected. Thanks.
And all Rossi left us with was a mysterious photo of a dim blue light in a black foggy mist. If the light were red I would've thought it was the tail lights to Rossi's car driving away in the night with $11 million in the backseat.

We hear that Rossi and his new partner celebrated after the Quark test. Will learn know more as Rossi submits his patents for the Quark.

Wayne:
No. The results are the output of measurements made by me, but reality cannot depend on a subjective act. I honestly made my measurements together with my team and our Pertner, we celebrated, but we know pretty well that there are still shortcomings. The sole real validation will be made by the Customers when and if the QuarkX will hit massively the market. Now we must operate along two directions:
1- consolidate the reliability of the results and the product
2- organize a massive production

By the way, Fabiani described balls of lights dancing around a reactor as those balls were melting it down. Defkalion also mentioned balls of light as seen through their peephole.

How does blue light exit?
I found that sapphire is relatively opaque to Xrays and luminesces UV in the 160,250 nm range.
Perhaps the tube is of a similar material absorbing Xrays and producing light at ~400 nm?

Dewey said "defamation action"
Quark:1960s: a word invented by Murray Gell-Man
Originally quork, the term was changed by association with the line
‘Three quarks for Muster Mark’ in Joyce's Finnegans Wake (1939).
Both Murray Gell-Mann and James Joyce are in no position to litigate.
On the other hand “The Cheese Barn” may not have reached its expiry date yet.
Of the 6 quarks that I know of perhaps 'Beauty" might feel most defamed by having an X appended.
[Via vortex] : Bob Greenyer postulates Auger Electrons : https://www.facebook.com/Marti…ct/posts/1199701140060583
(My thoughts : outside of visible, the photons could be thermalized)
I didn't see this on Vortex.
No intended connection, or lack thereof, to the QuarkX, but rather addressing Bob Greenyer's note: Auger electrons, if they were reliably documented in an experiment, might be evidence of electron capture taking place.

You gotta admit Rossi is a mastermind genius if he took your marketing/branding idea and turned it into a "product".
The nice thing with Rossi's tiny device is that convection is very weak, and can be all but ignored in terms of energy output. If we ever get enough data to gauge the thing by, it should then be simpler to evaluate the claims.
A normal blackbody of that size would need to be at about 1800 C to get roughly 100W of power, and visible light would be a rather lame portion of the output power. (Roughly 5 W convection). To get a significant portion of power in the visible spectrum requires that the intensity in that range to be very extraordinary indeed.
It seems that the inference that Rossi would like us to accept is that this Quark device does not operate by using an incandescent effect. I won't even hypothesize about the electricity generation.

Charged particles passing through a dielectric medium at very high speed
OD of 1mm? No much space for some fuel inside. If any.
The Quark reactor could be a quartz pipette that is first loaded with powder as capillary pipette feedstock tube and then stretched to a mm OD and a very narrow inner core filed with powder but very thin.
This is similar to pulling candy peppermint sticks.
Display MoreSniff, sniff...what is that aroma? Stinks of the familiar odor of Italian bovine, again rectally dealing out the safety card to avert the obvious question of why the magic perpetual motion machine isn't self-looped.
A properly engineered control looping power would be indistinguishable to the EQuark/EQuack from plain old power mains. Safety my a$$ !
This kind of BS puts Rossi firmly in the fraud category until some honest 3rd party says otherwise.
Those entranced by a blurry picture and a new crock of unsubstantiated miraculous claims might be better hypnotized by jangling car keys.
I am losing trust in what he said... If the safety is an issue, convert the power in AC, use an isolation transformer and put back the power... Even medical apparatuses are considered safe with an isolation transformer. And what best example of a life supporting apparatus, connected to an ill person!
