Dr. Kim shared with me that DKG never shared any actual experiment data with him. He reached his conclusions from reports / summaries just like another researcher who is presently being used and abused.
Well thank you for that. I told Axil many times not to further embarrass poor Dr. Kim by raising the topic of Defkalion. Maybe one day he will accept that they had nothing.
X-Ray shielding in hospitals is generally done with a mix of lead sheet and barium plaster - or barium sheetrock like this:- http://www.knauf.co.uk/product…sterboard/knauf-safeboard
Hi Frank.
Certainly Alumina and Zeolites have been shown to be useful matrices for LENR, and are also a component in many types of clay. Here's a recent paper on the topic of Deuterium/Alumina.
Hi Bob. I think if the court forbade AR from doing anything with the E-Cat he would just produce another variant with a different name. Hats, Rabbits, Magic!
Hi Hank.
This is an excellent initiative, for which you are to be thanked. One little problem is that chemicals tend not to be branded like toothpaste, and buying them from leading producers like Sigma Aldritch (even assuming they deign to supply you as a private individual) is often 10X as expensive as buying on the grey market. An example of this is the 'Norilsk Nickel' that Lookingforheat.com sells. It is the one most consistently giving us a modest XSH result- but we know nothing about it as it was bought on the (would you believe it!) Eastern European equivalent of Craigslist.
Everything else that looking for heat does by way of experiments and nickel prep -and much more- is on out website -both documents and videos -under the general heading of 'Research Notes'.
IF IH is truthful in their claim that they cannot make any of Rossi's technology work
IH never said AFAIK 'it doesn't work'. What they said was they were 'unable to substantiate his claims'. This could for example mean that it was working but COP of 5 not 50 which AR told them it would achieve. Slippery things, worms and their precise meanings.
I find it interesting that Rossi may be using square waves. Unlike sinusoidal wave forms, I think they provide a much stronger kick or jolt to the active components of the charge. Also, we know that Songsheng Jiang used DC power. When he turned off the…
It isn't necessarily all about high voltage. If the magnetic fields are important you should be thinking about high current heater coils - since field strength is proportional to ampere-turns.
I too have seen evidence of LENR activity centered around the 2-second (0.5Hz) cycling on and off of DC heater coils switched by a PID temperature controller. Square wave edges again. But as you may know, I am doing a lot of work on this aspect of the tech.
Hi John.
Choosing to do an experiment like this is not totally a good idea - since it involves (for a start) buying chemicals we only sell to over 18's. And also working with very hot things- 1300C+. However, if you go to our website www.Lookingforheat.com you will find quite a bit of information- and also videos showing experiments. Nobody on earth could guarantee you a working demonstration of LENR rith now though.
Look at 'catalytic carbon' on our website though. The experiments are not so risky, the reults pretty much guaranteed and also it is totally new technology. A way to make clean hydrogen in whatever amount and in any place you need it.
If you need any more help, don't hesitate to ask.
In the main this place aims to be for discussions about experimentation and scientific debate, Remeber that and you will get on fine.
To avoid squabbles....Weakly Ferromagnetic. A shame though - such a convenient source of macroscopic permanent monopoles as a Microwave oven would certainly be useful.
Somewhere on the web- and some time ago -I read an apparently credible report saying that examining data from the network of seismic stations established to detect nuclear weapons had detected 2 objects apparently passing right through the planet. I can't find any links now (apologies) but perhaps someone else has seen the story.
Yes indeed, the smell is very very acrid. Think boiling vinegar with a touch of gunpowder.
One of my relatives still bears the actual physical scars of her encounter with ball lightning as a young girl. She mentioned the small of sulphur and the way her brother's hair stood one end as the ball hovered in front of them. She was standing near a cast-iron rainwater pipe and the ball suddenly darted into the exit hole and exploded inside it. She got shrapnel wounds. Amazing but true.
Apart from the temperature. To make a permanent magnet you need a force (energy) to align the atoms. Where would that come from if not the coil current?
I am not sure. You see some weird stuff- for instance a simple demo I have done for myself. Microwave some carbon grains- they become magnetic -hard to explain that one. But I do know that anybody setting up to create permanent ferromagnetism using AC coils is heading for disappointment. AC is used for de-magnetising.
QuoteThey should have used a simple needle compass to confirm, which is not subject to RFI. It would be wonderful to discover high magnetic fields caused by LENR, but there is too little evidence of sound measure from Defkalion to get excited about it.
Amen to that.(where 'too little' = zero)
Sam and I are absolutely delighted to hear your news. Good luck with your experiments and if there is anything Lookingforheat.com can do to help you -you only have to ask.
Quote from BobHiggins: “When you say that the Li in the ash is in clumps and is magnetized, could it be that the Li is in the FexOy particles as the alkali metal dopant for a catalyst? Or, have you specifically isolated the Li to coincidence with the…
I think it unlikely that heating coil current could induce permanent magnetism into the Ni ash in a Rossi type system. Firstly because he is known to use square-wave polyphase AC to run the heater coils (see Lugano paper page 6) and secondly because of the Ni was above its Curie temperature (327C) whem a potentially magnetising coils is switched off, it will not be magnetic when cool.
[quote][...Vale T255 Ni powder in that era. I believe a jar of that powder could be seen in one of his videos./quote]
I would take that with a pinch of salt Bob. I am sure that a lot of the 'early' Focardi era Ni was made in the chem lab in Bologna.Not to say Rossi never used V255 -and when he went to the USA he left a kilo bag of Ni behind. I doubt the chem guy ever made that much.
QuoteJust measuring at the wall plug with no filtering could give you variable results. It is also easier to measure DC with a (slow) computer connected ADC which is what you would probably need if you want to keep a streaming record of experiment results.
And for Arduino-based data-logging it is important to have a 'quiet' voltage - AC SCR's etc drive them crazy. As for measuring at the wall socket- Killawatt type digital power meters are cheap enough but I'm not sure how reliable they are. And another thing - my lab space is at the other end of a 50M length of 60A armoured cable coming from very close to the grid connection. Random switching of the lab electrical space heating system causes a mains voltage variation at the lab end of the cable between 232V and 224V. While this 8V shift in supply level leaves a switched mode DC PSU entirely unmoved, when driving the reactor heater coils directly from the main supply via an SCR you can actually see the glow of the red-hot coils varying.
'Mr. Clarke you seem to fight against LENR like in a Holy War.'
I don't mind him fighting. But the way TC papers the internet with the same old stuff over and over again is very boring. And to be boring is IMHO a much bigger sin than not believing in Rossi.
