To be clear. There will NEVER be a dedicated UFO thread in this forum. That is a team decision. Stray posts about UFOS will be moved if neccessary either to the playground or to clearance. Despite assertions to the contrary we are not big on deleting posts.

Thank you ElderingG . It looks like Arun is getting good advice there. I suspect the problem is not with the pump but with the driver circuits- which seems to be the general opinion on fusor forum. I was fortunate enough to get an Edwards pump controller with my turbo, I would advise Arun to do the same if he can, they turn up on ebay from time to time. Hopefully the cost of a controller could be recouped by selling one of the turbos.

The biggest issue is my tubomolecular pumps (both) don't work. I have a 4 page thread on fusor.net with endless troubleshooting. This is the biggest frustration.

Give us a link if you would please.

Atom Ecology continues to work on the science, but not reporting anything due to attacks and also requests from backers to stop reporting due to well-founded concerns about patent trolls, trolls in general, and the theft of IP. Reporting results unfortunately is a very sensitive area. As for scaling up, we are doing that as much as current resources allow, but scaling up 'big time' requires serious money and a bigger team. We have lab results probably as good as those any other lab issued recently (but not even an anecdotal 3kW!) but while people are running around with knives we tend to stay home.

Holmlid is an interesting, maverick, but not obviously outstanding, scientist.

I beg to differ. Look at his 95 publications for a start, and where they were published. No wonder he only made 'professor at a provincial university.'

Thanks to Bob Greenyer of MFMP for making another excellent recording of Mitch Swartz' presentation at at ICCF-22

LENR Calender - You can assume. TBH I don't know who they have contacted. They just told me they had 3 duds so far. As this was an 'off the record' private conversation I am not going to name the outfit except to say they have not mentioned this possibly ongoing work publicly.

There is reason to believe that one lab has made 3 attempts at replication with no success. As Alainco and Robert suggest, this isn't easy.

As for the process knowledge needed to carry our complex equipment builds and perform experiments, that is learnt like any other skill, cookery, painting, hairdressing all involve specialist knowledge and the development of particular skills. Some things you learn by making mistakes, some by getting it right. It requires a mix of brains and dexterity and a lot of practice.

We know he is smart - good at talking and throwing the wool over people's eyes.

Please tell your friends at the Department of the Obvious that all good engineers should know that you throw dust, but you pull wool.

Woodford remain suspended for another month (at least).

.....Further information
We will keep you updated on progress and will write to investors no later than the next 28 day
review, being 21 October 2019. As we said in our letter dated 23 August 2019, we will not lift the
suspension without having given investors advance notice of any steps you need to take and full
details of the process.

Rossi got a distinction for his Masters degree in Philosophy on the subject of Einstein's 'Theory of Relativity'. While this doesn't neccessarily make him a genius it shows he is pretty smart.

Director can remove his own posts if he wishes.

If you think there are seldom undetected experimental errors you are probably unfamiliar with engineering!

I think a less patronising way of cautioning somebody who is a very skilled engineer might be appropriate.

The two posts above have been copied over from 'Clearance Items' where our top scout Ahlfors posted them Since they are very relevant to Mizuno's work, I thing they deserve to be in this thread also.

In 2002, Infinite Energy published a two-part article by Don

Hotson, “Dirac’s Equation and the Sea of Negative Energy”

(Issues 43 and 44). These are available online at:

http://www.zeitlin.net/OpenSETI/Docs/HotsonPart2.pdf

As a casual reader of IE at the time the articles first appeared,

I did not pay close attention to the depth of the material;

however, I was motivated to read them more carefully when

Billie Westergard, an astronomer who published an article IE

#68, stated that he thought Hotson’s work might be the best

published in physics. By then, I was a technical editor for IE

and I reread the Hotson articles. First I read them through,

realizing I was missing a lot. Then I studied them, trying to

see the justification for each assertion and came to the conclusion

that Billie Westergard was probably right and these

articles might be the best material written in physics; I went

on to state this in an editorial (IE #69). Don saw my editorial

and said that I “smoked him out of his cave.” That started

a two-year effort that resulted in the third article that is in

this issue.

Thank you so much for all your painstaking investigative work on the Lugano experiment. Since it is scattered over a long time period, would you be able to write a couple of paragraphs describing your main conclusions. That would be useful to many members I'm sure.

You have a PM in 'conversations' btw.

It is indeed an excellent book, so good that somebody purloined my copy.

The look like an artifact of the radar imaging system.

Or possibly an artifact of the interwebs. We see a lot of those.
