  • ICCF-22 MOVIE -IIl Banchetto Medievale -Ruby Carat.

    Superb camerawork and editing by Ruby, here you see the conference going truly medieval. Thank you to Ruby and to all of those members who helped to fund her trip which enabled such amazing quality 'live reporting' from the bottle battle-zone.

    Abstract

    Thin palladium and palladium alloy membrane tubes with thickness up to 50 μm have been produced. These metal membranes, used as tube permeators in catalytic membrane reactors for the water gas shift reaction, are thinner than the commercial ones (100–150 μm) and have both complete selectivity to hydrogen and good durability. A manufacturing procedure consisting of several steps of cold-rolling and annealing the metal foils coupled with a simple welding technique of the tubes has been carried out in order to produce the prototype thin palladium permeators. The procedure of rolling and annealing the palladium and palladium alloy foils is described in detail: the work hardening upon rolling of the palladium and palladium alloy foils has been controlled by means of hardness measurements. Model studies and tests on the membranes and the CMRs for the water gas shift reaction have demonstrated the possibility to separate and recover highly pure hydrogen in energy applications such as nuclear fusion fuel cycle and fuel cells fuelling.

  • LENR is occurring in SAFIRE

    Quote from Dr Richard

    I don't think Mills' strategy of using low V makes much difference to hydrino formation since this is catalysed by HOH/Ag/AgO


    It does make a difference to the magnetic component of the current though- Field strength and amperage are directly related, and for any given input the lower the voltage the higher the current required to maintain it.

    FOUNDATIONS FOR PROPER-TIME RELATIVISTIC

    QUANTUM THEORY

    T. L. GILL, T. MORRIS, AND S. K. KURTZ

    Abstract. This paper is a progress report on the foundations for the

    canonical proper-time approach to relativistic quantum theory. We first

    review the the standard square-root equation of relativistic quantum

    theory, followed by a review of the Dirac equation, providing new in-

    sights into the physical properties of both. We then introduce the canon-

    ical proper-time theory. For completeness, we give a brief outline of

    the canonical proper-time approach to electrodynamics and mechanics,

    and then introduce the canonical proper-time approach to relativistic

    quantum theory. This theory leads to three new relativistic wave equa-

    tions. In each case, the canonical generator of proper-time translations is

    strictly positive definite, so that each represents a true particle equation.

    We show that the canonical proper-time version of the Dirac equation

    for Hydrogen gives results that are consistently closer to the experimen-

    tal data, when compared to the Dirac equation. However, these results

    are not sufficient to account for either the Lamb shift or the anomalous

    magnetic moment.

    Nuclear Magneton Theory of Mass Quantization

    Bahjat R. J. MuhyedeenUniversity of Baghdad, Al-Jadriya, Baghdad, IraqContact e-mail  [email protected] Mobile:+964-7901-915048


    Abstract
    A new theory is hereby proposed which is founded on the concept of quantizedelementary discrete mass particles, called herein the Magneton and Antimagneton. The particles are conceived to be spinning magnetic dipoles with sufficient mass to produce thedipole-dipole interaction sufficient to act at ultra-short range - the source of the NuclearForce Field (NFF) - which now has a gravitational component. Since the NFF contains thiscomponent it can be thought of as the long searched for Unified Field. The theory is termedthe Nuclear Magneton Theory of Mass Quantization, or NMT

    Quantum superposition of molecules beyond 25,000Da


    Abstract

    Matter-wave interference experiments provide a direct confirmation of the quantum superposition principle, a hallmark of quantum theory, and thereby constrain possible modifications to quantum mechanics1. By increasing the mass of the interfering particles and the macroscopicity of the superposition2, more stringent bounds can be placed on modified quantum theories such as objective collapse models3. Here, we report interference of a molecular library of functionalized oligoporphyrins4 with masses beyond 25,000 Da and consisting of up to 2,000 atoms, by far the heaviest objects shown to exhibit matter-wave interference to date. We demonstrate quantum superposition of these massive particles by measuring interference fringes in a new 2-m-long Talbot–Lau interferometer that permits access to a wide range of particle masses with a large variety of internal states. The molecules in our study have de Broglie wavelengths down to 53 fm, five orders of magnitude smaller than the diameter of the molecules themselves. Our results show excellent agreement with quantum theory and cannot be explained classically. The interference fringes reach more than 90% of the expected visibility and the resulting macroscopicity value of 14.1 represents an order of magnitude increase over previous experiments2.

  • BLP update

    Quote from THHuxleynew

    The fact BLP has been well funded for 20 years with no income, nor product, nor academic credibility, shows on the contrary he is good at convincing people.


    The fact that his brother has done well in Wall St. may have helped.

  • Fact Check, debunking obviously false information

    Quote from THHuxleynew

    That is the mistake many make. Confusing "the universe" with "part of the universe". Indeed parts can go from less ordered to more ordered. If you consider isolated gravitational collapse generally the apparent order increase is driven by potential energy converted into heat, and so the overall entropy still increases.


    Mistake? Who said anything about a mistake? It was merely a comment upon a statistical anomaly to which we owe our very existence..

  • Fact Check, debunking obviously false information

    Quote from THHuxleynew

    And not a surprise, becase 2LoT is really just saying that the universe goes from more ordered to less ordered states, which is probabilistically so likely as to be effectively certain.


    Not in a straight-line though Planet Earth is an example of a large (though finite) system going from a less ordered cloud of dust to this very orderly thing we stand upon. It can't last though.

  • MIZUNO REPLICATION AND MATERIALS ONLY

    Quote from jeff

    1. I notice that some of the system appears to have a heater blanket, but some of the small diameter tubing does not. Assuming that you plan to bake out the system, does this unheated tubing make a difference?


    2. The small diameter tube will really slow down the evacuation rate in the molecular flow region. The conductance varies as the cube of the tube diameter, so attaining a high vacuum at the far end may take some time.


    3. How good a vacuum do you intend on achieving after bakeout? I ask this question in part because I'm constructing a similar setup.


    4. Once D2 is introduced it will be difficult to remove. T/M pumps have a hard time pumping light gasses due to the high velocity of the molecules compared to the rotor tangential velocity. Do you intend to achieve a high vacuum only to guarantee that the chamber is contaminant free and then assume that D2 in some quantity will always remain?


    1. The small tubes can be heated for bakeout purposes with a blowtorch or hot-air gun so not really a problem

    2. You are quite right - pumping this system right down can take 24 hours. But that's ok -we can wait for it. Also there are three vacuum pumps- 2 stage pump on the reactor end (on the right) and a 2 stage roughing pump and turbo on the Mass Spec on the left.

    3. We have been as low as 10-8 mB. That's plenty low enough.

    4. We hope to keep D2 out of the Mass Spec by using a cryo-trap- not shown here. This is designed to stop D2 getting into the MS because it's hard to discriminate between D2 and He - and we are on the hunt for helium.
