Oh. Okay. Tell us who has debunked a mainstream cold fusion experiment. Be specific. Who did this, and where was it published?

Or are you just going to say "nonsense" with no proof of your claim?

I said "mainstream." Rossi was never mainstream. He never published in any journal or proceedings. Others who worked with him such a Levi did put out some papers, although they did not publish them as far as I know. Anyway, have you found any errors in their work?

Forgive me for not going round and round with you for the umpteenth time about the above. I'd rather spend the time on Mizuno's engaging report.

I have only skimmed the papers so I will have few comments yet on them

Could you SOT summarise your detailed analysis of the papers

which you have engaged with?

Quote from seven_of_twenty

If you know how I could get paid for being " 'skeptical' in this hub " please let me know

You could enquire from Putin.

He has 50 billion reasons to suppress any challenge to his oil/gas revenues.

LENR is just one of them.

Quote from RobertBryant

Please clarify "not surprising""

This is not a nonmathematical.. nebulous term.

what numbers do you use for the mean averaged speed?

See the long link I posted when looking at this.

There is Umax and Uav where both figures are the temporal mean (it is turulent flow) but Umax is at the centre of the pipe Uav is averaged over pipe area.

Uav/Umax is < 1 - and equal to 0.5 for laminar flow. For turbulent flow RN 10,000 or so it is quoted at around 80% and two (different) approximations give something like 81% and 78%. These flow things are all approximations of non-analytic equations so exactly what it is I don't know but 80% is ballpark. Wouls be good to have accurate info (and how it depends on temp and velocity - though rough earlier calculations (see post long way back) seem to indicate not much difference. Would like to see it all done properly but that would take time.

What a sad state of affairs this has become.

The number of posters seems to be declining and no wonder.

When someone such as THH provides reasonable critique, all of which he provides a logical and often mathematical basis to, he is often scorned with

childish, personal insult. THH does not direct any post directly at someone, nor does he insult or deride. Yet the "response" from a few, (namely R Bryant) is personal, meant to cause insult and ripe with simple meanness. Much of the same thing many here state that mainstream media spouses!

Remember, when you point a finger at someone you have three pointing back at you!

Try responding to THH's questions with actual answers or examples. Throwing shit around solves nothing and only shows what level some people operate on.

I am not saying THH is 100% correct in everything, but he sure as hell supports his position mathematically and by example much more than almost everyone here.

This place is becoming similar to ECW. If you do not blindly accept stuff (or in one particular case, push a factual position) you will get nothing but personal insult nd perhaps a perma ban. THH makes many valid points. IF he makes a mistake, he should simply be answered with the factual math or data that shows his error.

Repetitive harping a point only shows the character of the finger pointer. Truly it makes them look bad, not THH.

Then those like IHFANBOY states that he too has fought the many deceptions and misdeeds of THH, but yet he stands by Rossi! Ha, what a pile of hypocrisy that is!

Rossi got so bad even IHFB had to pretty much shutup about him. THH and many others were absolutely right about Rossi but that did not stop the "believers" from disparaging anyone who criticized Rossi. Now the same is going to happen to those asking legitimate or at least well intentioned questions about Mizuno?

It seems many have short memories here. We have seen Rossi, Steorn, Johnny 5, and several others.... all pan out to be fake, phony or actually fraudulent

There is no problem with asking critical questions..... if YOU do not like them, answer them in a factual way that disputes the point... leave out the personality.

So with all the fueding and pissing about these tests and critiques, my question (probably mostly to Jed) is the point that seemingly has been "forgotten"

IH had Muzuno visit and show them his reactors. My understanding was that Mizuno could not get them to work for the demonstration visit. Is my memory / understanding of this correct? If so, is this reactor / series of test that has been "pre-published" the same type of reactor used in the IH visit?

If it is, then replication is likely going to fail by others if Muzuno could not get it to work himself! If these are different, what has changed? I have not been following this site nearly as much since my banishment, but it seems like these Muzuno tests have been several years in the making. Was not the IH demo last year?

This is not a criticism, I am just trying to clarify the situation. If this is the same reactor/protocol and Muzuno himself could not replicate outside of his lab, then it is going to be quite difficult for novices to do so. THH is correct, the devil is in the DETAILS!

Quote from Cydonia

Excellent your answer but know that the fool it's you !

I very well studied Rossi's patents unlike you the common follower ..

Ecat Bt and Ht uses IR stimulation too ( and first !!), finally that 's friend from jed , Dr Mizuno remains a Rossi's technical follower

There are lots of relevant technical clues in Rossi's patents in connection with that.

Unfortunately Jed followed Dewey's good words, because he's not an engineer, I think he was fooled by him, quite simply.

On the other hand, it was easy because Rossi is someone with disturbing behavior and communication.......

This is how Levi and Fochi measured the HT with the PCE during phase 1 of “Indication of...”. Does this make sense to you?

Hint1: there is a negative power factor, meaning that the PCE thinks the HT is supplying electricity.

THH how about the details of your mathematical derivation

of instability which I have asked you for?

Shall I let you off the hook?

Rb -

I spent 5 min looking for the relevant post, because you did not bother to read it. I'd do this more happily if your contribution to this thread was more positive, rather than like the academics who look at a paper and critique spelling errors and background badly described without engaging or otherwise on the validity or otherwise of the key points. Also if you did not add to noise by repeating the same thing.

Mizuno reports increased excess heat

Quote from THHuxleynew

I'm surprised others have not picked this up re R20 because the above thermal analysis is true for all exothermic temperature sensitive reactions that have the type of dependence Mizuno states. Higher COP means more unstable. If 50W delivers 300W, then 50W worth more insulation will deliver 300W without external power input.

I am really interested in your mathematical derivation of "Higher COP means more unstable."

You are an expert on control theory, I think

Your assumption

Let us take a simple example of F(T) = CT (linear)

what is this based on

is this based on experimental data?

How does it incorporate the findings from 2017 that

"

" The reaction activation energy Ea was calculated on the basis of the linear region between 100 and 523◦C

in Fig. 40 to be 0.165 eV/K/atom"

Does this not mean that at higher temperatures the activation energy is higher? Which makes the reaction rate less?

Which means that the increase in reaction rate increase dependence is lower than for Arrhenius type reactions

( around 298 K there is ROT that reaction rates double for every 10K rise in T)

How does this impact on your CT(linear)??

Of course this whole phenomenon may not be able to be modelled on anything remotely resembling Arrhenius

because it may not be collisional

instead relying on delocalised magnetic forces as per Cheng's Niobium93m findings

where a sudden increase in the number of active sites above a critical number switches on or off the reaction

over huge distances at particular temperatures.

In any case the assertion that "Higher COP means more unstable"

seemsto be based on assumption rather than any detailed understanding of

the actual reaction kinetics that are occurring.

More research is needed to understand the reaction kinetics

for sure... based on available 2017 data it is not Arrheniustype.

I really value your mathematical input

Right on... Bob#2 Welcome to the forum May28 start... do you, Bob#2, have a technical comment?

Like when THH says things like "evidenced by some of the 'don't raise questions - it makes you evil' crowd here," for example? That kind of insult and meanness? No, of course not, because in your mind pseudo skeptics are always nice, even if mean.

Look, JedRothwell , I will make it really simple. McKubre, Miles and Storm's results confuse me more than enlighten me. Mizuno's recent claims have way more power and a way larger power ratio than is needed to rule out noise or subtle experimental errors. They are the first claims of that type I have ever seen. Either Mizuno is correct and has found a way to performing robust LENR with lots of excess heat or he has made a pretty gross error. In the latter case, it will then be a matter of localizing the part of the experiment liable to big errors and figuring out how to modify or redo it to eliminate those. That is interesting. In addition, from what I saw of the papers thus far, they are pretty clear and probably due to your labor, the English is clear and the descriptions are understandable.

Arguing about incomprehensible graphs or charts and lots of vaguely reported "one of" experiments which have never been replicated or properly validated, most for low level results is of no interest to me as I said many times. Mizuno, on the other hand, meets every criterion I could think of for major interest for me. And this is entirely consistent with everything I've written before. I have been highlighting Yoshino for years because although they seemed to get nowhere, the claims, apparently in the form of projections that never happened, were similar.

Is that clear enough even for you? It only remains to make sure the result is real and valid and can be reproduced by others - believable others. I suggested some. You do read before you reply with an angry defensive rant, don't you? Sometimes your replies to me are so tangential and hostile, I wonder if you bother.

Quote from RobertBryant

Right on... Bob#2 Welcome to the forum May28 start... do you have a technical comment?

Well, ... May 28th?..... You will have to ask Shane about that I guess...... you assumption is incorrect.

Technical comment?....., I did ask.. Is this not the same reactor / protocol that Mizuno himself demonstrated to IH?

If yes, my memory/understanding was that he could not get it to work.

If not, then what is the difference between this pre-publication and the IH demonstration? My reading of this thread indicates this has been

a few years in development, so the IH demonstration surely has merit to discuss. If Muzuno himself could not get it to work outside his lab,

then replicators need to really target what difference there is to look for. What hope do they have to replicate if Muzuno could not himself?

If we want a successful replication, one must not hide their head in the sand and ignore such questions.... that is what the Rossi believer's do.

I do not and never have claimed to have the technical "LENR" knowledge of McKubre or others. But that does not discredit my ability to think logically.

There must be some significant issue if the inventor himself cannot replicate outside his lab. (Again, I may be misunderstanding the IH event or my memory may be in error) What hope would others have? Asking some of these hard questions such as THH, may well point to the answer.

So a valid truth should withstand scrutiny on it's own merit. It will not matter if a skeptic does not believe or a believer has blind faith. What makes a real working reactor different that Rossi's frauds, is that it CAN withstand real and valid scrutiny. Rossi will not allow validation because he knows his stuff is BS. Just "Saying it works" does not make it work.

Nor does a name.... I remember you espousing about anonymous avatars once..... I assume Robert Bryant is your real name.... but then who is Robert Bryant? I have never heard of him nor his credentials and they mean nothing to me. I am sure I mean nothing to many here, But I can tell by Robert Bryant's own posts however, that he insults and makes personal that which should be objective science. That makes me think his judgement is skewed. Look in a mirror.... I believe you might start seeing a reflection of Adrian Ashfield or IHFB there!

Just like those that still believe Rossi has the goods, those with skewed bias have a serious issue with discerning facts or intention sometimes! Has it has become a personal matter? Contrary to your erroneous statement above, I have been on this site for years. I have NEVER seen THH insult you one time in a post. However you often do not seem to be able to counter your impulse to do so with him. You often site passages, perhaps you should meditate on 1 Corinthians 13:4-13 some! Simply my opinion.

Quote from Bob#2

Is this not the same reactor

No it is not the same reactor.

IH didn't get a reactor to work when he sent it to them in North Carolina

They cooked it at high temperature's ,contrary to Mizuno;s instructions

after that it did not work
