Damn, you're right, it has been twenty years. Remember getting all excited when I first ran accross
BLP, reality finally resumed, but one of my first exposures to this kind of scientific BS, and the artists of same.
Best litmus test for the current free energy perveyors is when an attempt is made to conjoin the hokum with the fraud of global warming, I.E., it will save the planet.
Ditto to MY
if some process was generating close to 1200 continuous horsepower of energy in a 20 foot conex container,
a gerbil could determine that something significant was going on, without the use of a calorimeter
This particular thread alone proves LENR is an energy transform process,
the keystrokes alone must involve several hundred watts,
what at a circle jerk,
Make sure to call a doctor if your gainful rection lasts more than four hours !
Tesla will be the next bubble bursting, not the leasing business.
Anyone interested in a LENR blog with the following conditions, ??
1. pertains only to the science and technology of LENR and immediate peripheral requirements, nuts and bolts stuff
2. all research and experimental work by members would be freely and openly disclosed and documented, complete with images of equipment,
all magic show attempts would result in expulsion
3. participants would offer and receive valid criticism in an adult manner, those interested in learning would be cultivated within the limits of available patience
4. the only subject of the blog would be the work of the participants and those following that work
5. off topic bilge on unrelated issues cause for immediate cancellation of participation
anyone wishing to participate would put up $1000, to be held in escrow, for as long as the participant remains in good standing with the blog, money returned at departure
Alan S.,
you are responding to ?
I was responding to this, ( and attempting to support your detailed and reasoned response to Stephen)
I actually have done much hand machining and tooling and I am well versed in most major CAD apps (solidworks/mastercam is my weapon of choice), as well as a skilled welder, which is why I was so shocked at the price. I personally would consider myself moving at a snails pace if it took me a full day to create two of those tubes....3-4 hours at very most. I do appreciate you explaining the process though.
Well, I suppose that someone who was well versed, skilled and shocked could build his own stainless assemblies and sell them at cost.
Brilliant Light Power, aka Black Light Power, been at it for over 20 years,
these guys like to sue critics
que Elmer Fudd, be vehwey vehwey careful
I thought this site might provide some nuts and bolts engineering/ scientific knowledge on
do it yourself LENR. So far, slim pickins, or too often a dead end clown show.
vis a vis Rossi,,
It's a free country, and people should be able to waste their time anyway they wish, but it is tiresome to read
endless arguments from people don't know any facts, don't have any legal expertise, don't have any technical
knowledge of even the most basic real world physical realities, and can't accept the fact that there is no Santa Claus.
The Rossi noise take up entirely too much space and will eventually render this blog irrelevant. One thread, "All things Rossi" is sufficient ,
necessary, and adequate to the task
I have just received a news flash that this blog will be featured in a ground breaking study by the American Journal of Psychology and Psychotherapy
in the research of Cognitive Dissonance.
IHFB,
PLEASE don't take this as snarky, not my intent, but after watching phenomenon like the Rossi effect over the years,
I don't believe anything unless I see it with my own eyes and even then I'm not too sure.
SRI also validated the guy who could bend spoons via telekinesis.
people have a bad habit of turning opinions into religion
Quiz, Dewey,
if I recall correctly, the report cited did not mention anything about nuclear by products,
which I found puzzling.
if I was going to throw money at LENR, Brillouin might be with considering, but the founder tends to blubber
Mr. Weaver,
in other words, a human fart could rupture the reactor,,
it would be an engineering feat to build something that flimsy.
any one making plans for a mass intervention in the near future ?
I am new to this great forum, but have been an ardent observer of LENR/ ne cold fusion for many years. Periodic sampling of all sources of LENR "action" by an objective individual, taken over a period of even five years, would in most cases, yield progress deltas in the noise levels, and I say that as someone who believes that certain observed phenomenon prove LENR. One has to be skeptical if he is honest about the known facts.
Two things some people should keep in mind. Everything seems simple when you don't know what you're talking about, and why does there always have to be the not-quite-intellectual equivalent of a drunken brawl in some of these threads ? Needless wear and tear on my rods and cones,,
AlainCo,
interesting post,, with regard to the comment regarding risk, rather depends on whose money you are using,
LENR still has some mythical aspects to it. Do you remember when satellite tv first arrived in the 70s??
All of a sudden, everyone and his brother was building C band satellite systems and everything to support that technology.
All kinds of clever ideas were developed by what was essentially a cottage industry. If the essence of the LENR effect is ever
defined and quantified and the public figures out how to "roll their own" LENR, you will see it used in all kinds of creative yet mediocre ways, not so much disruptive, just handy
I sold my Tesla stock, the car business will not end well for mr musk
Argon, you probably know this,
at the rush of being pedantic
while certaing static components in a jet engine hot section are often sprayed with ceramics,
the hot section fans, and stators are all nickel cobalt xyz alloys with relatively low
coefficients of expansion because they have to maintain tight tolerances from idle to full power,
and are cooled via internal air passages
the ceramics can't handle the mechanical loads in rotating parts I believe
LENR will have to make a quantum ( an ambiguous multiplier when you have no idea within several orders of magnitude) leap in energy density for aviation, and then you will still have to move all that heat out of one medium through an exchanger and into your working fluid. A small turboprop engine weighing 500 lbs will easily generate 1 MW for thousands of hours. A 30 megawatt peaking genset uses a core from older 737 engine and is the size of an office desk.

Complete engine on display at the SAC museum near Omaha, entire engine
almost completely comprised of high temp stainless, and as you said essentially a ramjet
once up to speed,
all done one without computers, CAD or models, astounding
Alan,
thx for the feedback, have seen detectors on line, can't remember if eBay or not,
apparently with the right detector and some software you can pull the curtain back a bit
need to inform myself much better on cool neutrons, not sure what to make of anecdotal evidence of
"radiation poisoning" implied in some LENR reports/stories/myths
