I have a vague memory of a free-energy car .. that it suddenly slowed down, and that surrounding cars/people[? ] felt like they were in molasses. I don't think it was Papp.

Couldn't find it on google, my robots didn't know ...

No information ... and shutting down ALL systems? Must be serious, and fundamental.

I'd suspect

- sudden burst of radiation
- some kind of explosion, or run-away event

- some kind of implosion .... (false vaccuum foo ... )

Or as simple as an electrical high-voltage leakage ....

Maybe edit the original post, without quotes

Li's talk is very interesting (And his English is good)

He has a model, showing various power-of-3 effects, which are linear on suitable log plots

His model considers a two-step resonance on the surface of an atom.
Near resonance the coulomb barrier is irrelevant. In hot fusion it dominates.

Hot fusion goes as e^ -3280/(1/T) and produces gammas
Cold fusion goes as e^-E0/T and produces neutrons .

The "energy deficit" between the two is 1 MEV

This involves a "k" electron. It annihilates, producing a neutron, and then another electron fills its place, emitting X-rays.

He predicts both LENR heat-production and Transmutation rates (viewed as peaks of depletion)

From 3 points on a straight line he predicts Big Bang Lithium production!

2-step resonance explains some of the present experiments. He thinks 3-step resonance will explain the rest.

The predicted neutron flux 10^5/m2/sec is similar to solar, so he plans to look for them.

(This is from notes on the talk.... but I think it's mostly right.)

I thought obsidian glass was pretty well understood?

I live in Obsidian country. It's road-dirt (as long as you grind it up a bit, otherwise it cuts tires - and tyres).
After a rainfall I collect nice specimens by the bucketfull.

It's still used for scalpels!

More about computing than the bomb itself!

From https://eng8.energy/350-ppm-up…sion-energicells-updates/

• Further independent testing occurred in July by www.iet.pt and www.UL.com. An air cooled EnergiCell proved a Q2.4 factor, 2.4 times more thermal energy out VS electricity in. A “solid state” EnergiCell proved a Q factor of 2; twice the electrical energy out VS electricity in. That was the system ENG8 took to the UK AEA. We are planning further independent tests in quarter 3 and quarter 4 looking for a stable Q5 over unity Electricity and Thermal energy out.
• The electrodes were independently tested for the residues of transmutation by CICECO (https://www.ciceco.ua.pt/) and the Materials Science & Metallurgy Department at the University of Cambridge. Transmutation is the creation of new elements in the reaction chambers that weren’t there before. This proves fusion is occurring. No radioactivity was detected, at the levels that we run the Energicells at. At higher levels, like Q30, there is some radiation, thus our target is Q5-10.

Trinity blast behind the scenes .. NOT cgi!

The trailer (above) says shot with Imax cameras ... I wonder if there will be an Imax version!!??

I thought the "igniting the atmosphere" was cgi ... but probably not. I haven't seen clips of it .

See the youtube video in
https://wegotthiscovered.com/m…in-oppenheimer-explained/

(60% margin?)

I should have remembered the whole class of "Fermi Problems" (estimates based on limited information, or reasonable approximations)

I sit de-confuzled on Feynman vs Fermi.

Saw it last week. Very complicated (in story and timeline).

Probably best to read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Robert_Oppenheimer before (or, like me, soon after).

The most sympathetic character was Groves!

Minor-boo: they showed Richard Fenman bongo-drumming, but not his paper-in-the-blast yield calculation.

Reportedly totally studio, not CGI (Not sure how they did the final ignite-the-atmosphere shot)

Must-see!

Good (PBS) summary.

It's not the new chatbots in the news (Large Language Model / Generative stuff), like chatGPT, which are known to hallucinate.

It is a deep learning network trained on 30 years of experimental data, and a large collection (100's of thousands) of theoretical models.

It comes up with the "best" model that fits the experimental results.

Right now, "best" at the "3 sigma" (1 in a 1000 chance of being wrong) which is the "very interesting, but ..." level of proof.

Burp. More data, please.

After ARPA-E (research) DOE has announced more funding for "Scale-Up"

US DOE $100 Million More to Scale New Clean Energy Technology

Between the 2019 and 2021 cohort, ARPA-E has awarded 17 projects with more than $167M in federal funds. The portfolio below illustrates the breadth of sectors SCALEUP is currently supporting. SCALEUP teams are developing technologies that span a range of industries from energy storage to aviation, power electronics, grid integration, and more. Additionally, through the SCALEUP’s U.S. manufacturing requirements, ARPA-E is preventing valuable IP funded by U.S. tax dollars from falling vulnerable to adoption by foreign competitors, ultimately supporting a strong domestic supply chain.

The Seeding Critical Advances for Leading Energy technologies with Untapped Potential (SCALEUP) program builds on ARPA-E’s primary research and development focus to support the scaling of high-risk and potentially disruptive new technologies across the full spectrum of energy applications.

The goal of the program is to help ARPA-E-funded technologies, past and present, transition from proof-of-concept prototypes to commercially scalable and deployable.

But AI will provide wonderful circuses.

Quote from Curbina

Don't know if anyone agrees this would be a straight forward experiment to test the nanomachined gaps, or not.

https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/document?repid=rep1&type=pdf&doi=b84786e335626b42566c1d3114a9d6dfbb7a9318

I think not ... but I have a very similar idea in the pipeline.

Ah ... I was going to ask that elsewhere. Ed's ICCF talk said we should explore nano-machined slots in the 2-10nm range.

(I'm guessing that co-deposition in those slots is not feasible, so : gas loading?)

How DEEP do the slots need to be, and how long? Or would a 2nm... hole suffice?

USD $10K is easily crowd-fundable.

The video linked from that page

is very interesting.

Bottom line: he detects a new "nuclear electron" particle with a mass of 3 * regular electron, which is either captured by another nucleus, or decays into a regular electron in 10^-11 seconds.

TWO such decay tracks spotted --


Once you start looking, it shows up in experiments going back to 1930, including Letts and Swartz.

Quote from Shane D.

Currently, the CleanHME community is split between scientists endorsing the above-mentioned contradictions of the quark model, and scientists endorsing the novel single-particle toroidal proton model.

Very interesting. But I'd be scared to see them go down the rabbit hole of rewriting a huge chunk of modern science, rather than concentrating on "anomalous" effects, even if they can't be explained.
