Hi Mike.
If you are referring to my comment 'add your own water' above, I simply meant that water would be needed to make powdered Fe2O3 into clay - which is normally a paste of powder(s) and water. Water-sourced hydrogen as fuel was the last thing on my mind. Apologies for any misunderstanding.
It is no wonder that the moderator has failed in his attempts to produce a viable LENR reaction. His mentality is wedded to the 19th century methods where any modern thought processes can't penetrate through and is immediately mired in the caution of caked black coal dust and clouds of steam that weighs down century old thinking patterns. Don't expect any LENR breakthroughs from these old timers. LENR is a field for the supple of mind and the unburdened of thought.
How very sweet of you Axil. I never knew you cared -how I wish my thoughts were as unburdened as yours. 
. Has it not occurred to you that if you have a cheap source of heat like LENR there is no need to spend uneccessary and possibly wasted money on what is actuallyunproven CO2 turbine technology to gain a few extra points?
The most obvious would be red Heamatite clay Fe2O3. Also known as 'red ochre'. Since the natural material contains many impurities I suggest (if you think this worth pursuing) that you buy a purified form of Fe2O3. Micron sized it is available relatively cheaply micron-sized as 'jewellers rouge' Add your own water.
My take on this is different. Here we have Rossi claiming that there was secret information that Murray was not to see. As Rossi accepted payment to transfer ALL the IP to IH, this implies he did not comply with that agreement. What a revelation! Furthermore, how can he claim that there was a GPT if it included undisclosed secrets?
IH was not in any sense of the word a competitor, since as you say, they were due 'full disclosure' and allegedly working together with Rossi. Even Anesser would not make that mistake. I think the implication is (perhaps) that Murray was intent on selling information to a third party and therefore a spy.
I agree in part. In fact, on one occasion I insisted Axil used the term 'Hypothesis' to describe one of his many ideas instead of presenting it as fact. What I really was objecting to was the imputation that he is in need of therapy.
I have known a lot of people with serious mental health problems, and it is not helpful or amusing (to me) to see the subject used in a mocking way. I have objected to Abd's free use of the term about Rossi in the past, and also objected to several people telling me (in conversations) that Abd was in their opinion insane.
So, for future references, mental health jokes and related insults are both off limits. When you see the effects mental illness can have on a person and their friends and loved ones you will perhaps realise that this is not an accusation to be made lightly.
Why not? In for a penny, in for a pound. 
Rossi uses steam, his patent is based on heating a fluid in most cases water so his output is steam. This makes him limited to a few hundred centigrade of output temperature. So sorry.
Nothing to be sorry about. We seem to have managed with steam for the last couple of centuries, and steam-based power is still one of the most important and best-understood forms of electricity generation. Supercritical CO2 is whizzy new technology, but currently it has no serious pedigree. This leaves system developers with a dilemma- pioneering on too many fronts at once without any engineering experience to fall back on. Even if BLP have the 'keys to the kingdom' it would be a very brave -possibly foolhardy- venture capitalist who went down the Suncell+CO2 turbine route.
Straighten up a bit guys, this is a thread about comments on the Rossi Blog, not a thread about comments made in this forum (which cannot be bullied) or IH's spending habits. Off topic a tad too far. Green ink will be deployed -at least (or maybe even purple, and we all know what that means.)
Lightning-fast switch for electron waves - more polaritons for Axil.
(Nanowerk News)
http://www.nanowerk.com/nanotechnology-news/newsid=45366.php
The characteristic shine of metals is created by electrons which can freely move in the interior of the material and reflect incoming radiation. Similar to water waves on a pond, waves can form on the surface of this electron sea – so called “surface plasmons”. Instead of a stone that is thrown into water, light is used to generate surface plasmons in the laboratory. When light is focused onto a nanometer-sharp metallic tip, miniature waves propagate on the material’s surface in a circular fashion starting from the tip apex. A nanometer is only approximately ten times the size of the diameter of a single atom. The miniature waves could be used in future compact electronic devices for lightning-fast information transport.So far, however, there has been no means of switching such surface waves on and off on ultrafast timescales, which is essential. Conversely, in conventional electronics the analogous mechanism is realized by transistors.Now, for the first time, a team of scientists at the University of Regensburg, in collaboration with colleagues from Pisa, have demonstrated the experimental on/off switching of waves on the electron sea, laying the foundation for future plasma-electronics (Nature Nanotechnology, "Femtosecond photo-switching of interface polaritons in black phosphorus heterostructures").Read more: Lightning-fast switch for electron waves

I'm probably being a bit thick, but I don't really understand this time notation. Why the (17)?
Thank you Jokela - btw, the bibliographic term for a single error in a text is an 'erratum', plural is 'errata'. I usually use 'Ooops!'
I had an independent confirmation of this space-test a few days back from someone involved with the Chinese end of the project. Soon they will have a space drive that doubles as a cooker.
Try this...
BTW: Can anyone explain, why steorn crashed ?
BTW: Why does no phisicst aim to explain the hydrino or even calculate / postulate it ?
BTW: Can anyone forecast, what will happen to Rossi ?
Steorn crashed because all they had was 1 cool idea, which sadly was so cool it attracted a lot of investment. After 20 or so years and many tears they were incapable of producing anything that worked as claimed or the idea suggested. So byebye.
The hydrino is fringe science in the eyes of the physics establishment, so they stay well away. It is another cool idea that may or may not have any substance. Speaking of fringes, can you explain why the Surrey had a fringe on top?
Since Rossi and IH are involved in a tangled web of lies, half truths and facts which are subject to the caprices of the judiciary who are themselves not entirely free of political interference, it would be totally foolish to predict what might happen in Miami. In truth, I think speculation is a waste of time and effort as well as very boring. This is not the OJ Simpson case but a grubby little commercial squabble. It has zero bearing on the truth or otherwise of Rossi's claims, but is about money and some IP, which IH are strangely keen on retaining despite declaring it to be unsubstantiated.
AFAIK There are no new documents on Pacer. That suggests no new news.

I don't remember a smell being mentioned, but in a little back-to-back cottage with a coal fire that might not even have been noticed, especially by a child. This story dates back 40 years, and the actual incident probably 40 years before that, so forgive me for not remembering more. However, I also remember two other things being mentioned- there was a fringed lampshade in the room, and the fringe stood out at right angles- just like everybody's hair standing on end, and the skirt the witness was wearing sticking out like she was 'doing a twirl' and the ball made a noise 'like frying bacon.'
There was obviously a huge static charge attached to the ball- probably why it dived for the best earth point in the room- the cast-iron fireplace
How I got to hear this tale, in my mind gives it great credibility. It was in a factory I was managing in Nottingham, and in the dog days of a very hot summer. One of my staff always wore trousers, and (since she was complaining about the heat) I said 'wouldn't you be cooler in a skirt?'. Then she told me -in the most matter of fact way about the reason she kept her legs covered. The teller was 'your ordinary housewife', properly working class and not given to flights of fancy. I can still picture her talking to me, I think the extraordinary nature of the event made (most of it) stick in my mind.
Thank you Kirk, and Co. Very interesting discussion. Not really my more engineering related turf, but I am getting the picture.
Bill Gates and friends have set up a new fund , pledging to fund start-ups as well as established companies researching CleanTech including (perhaps) promising LENR technologies. At the bottom of the page linked you are invited to download a PDF with more details. Only 1 page- worth a look.
At the expense of boring you with an anecdote, one of my employees had extensive lower-body burn scars, a childhood accident precipitated by ball lightning. During a big thunderstorm the door of the family's little cottage was blown open by a lightning strike right outside the house. A ball of lightning entered the room - and everybody's hair actually stood on end I was told - and after a moment it rushed towards the iron fire grate and blew the contents out, mostly over the story-teller.
Strange but true.
About LENR event. If something happens in nature, it happens in big scale. if LENR is true. You just need to observe nature and find where it happens.
- I propose forest rings.
No arguments about that. Just look up at the sun!
My last though on the weight forensics is -where do the raw materials come from? If either the Iron Ore/scrap metal or the Silica Sand was sourced at the same location from a pit-mine or similar, things on the input side might be a bit 'casual'. But end of arguments from me, it's a fascinating topic.
