Strange natural supraconductor made of Rhenium sulfide discovered in Russia near Miass River. (analog to palladeite)
Quel dommage que le forum NANOMIR ait été effacé! J'aimais beaucoup lire tes posts, ainsi que ceux de notre ami Shestopalov. Comment va-t-il? Je ne vois plus aucune texte de lui sur internet.
Particles of the same charge that attract each other instead of repelling each other. What if this macroscopic effect could be reproduced at the level of atomic nuclei in a plasma, making it possible to overcome the Coulomb barrier?
It is very easy to make pure 6Li on a benchtop, my Professor of Paris Sorbonne U. Marius Chemla proved it.

At $460/kg that comes to 0.0024 cents per kWh ($0.000024). However, nearly all of the cost of heavy water goes to pay for the energy used to extract it. With today's techniques, it would take 0.05% of the energy from fusion to separate out the deuterium. So the cost would be close to zero. Not $460 but more like 4 cents. So the cost per kilowatt hour would be $0.00000024.
Average global per capita energy consumption is 3,204 kWh. In the U.S. it is 11,267 kWh. So if you live 85 years in the U.S. you will spend ~$0.23 on heavy water over a lifetime.
The methods now used to extract heavy water were developed in the 1940s. Experts say much better methods can be developed. They would produce less pollution and use less energy. So we are looking at ~$0.05 over a lifetime.
Experts say much better methods can be developed
I agree.
The best moderator, and also a neutron multiplier.

Magnifiques dolmens du Caucase. Il fut un temps où tous les dolmens avaient cette forme d'astres, symbolisée par le croissant que l'on voit sur Vénus, Mercure, la Lune, et aussi sur le soleil, lors des éclipses.
La sagesse de leurs bâtisseurs était immense. Ils ont décrit le Zodiaque. Ils ont mesuré les dimensions de notre univers. Ils dessinèrent les plans des pyramides. Au fil des millénaires, ils nous envoient ce message : « Regardez ce que nous avons pu faire avec quelques outils en bois, et quelques figures tracées sur le sable avec un bâton, aidés par notre volonté. Et vous, que construisez-vous ? »
The truth is inside US army archives and may it was the reason for Sommerfeld death...
A thermal neutrons bomb moderated by glucine, dropped on London or New York would have been a terrifying “blockbuster”, with a power of the order of a kiloton. With ejection of the boron control rods by one or more beryllium recoilless cannons located in the center of the charge, the mass of the warhead would have been compatible with a V2, or with an “Amerika Bomber” like the one shown on the cover of “La Science Et La Vie”, strongly inspired by the work of Northrop.
(Fanatics of the comic strip “Blake & Mortimer” will have recognized “The Red Wing” by the famous “Colonel” Olrik.)
Was Edgar P. Jacobs not advised (like Hergé, the father of “Tintin”) by Jacques Bergier, nuclear scientist and father of the “Réalisme Fantastique”, whose memory I have already had the opportunity to evoke in this forum?
Reality is Fantastic.
This is interesting and news to me. Do you have any credible backup for this claim?
It is really hard to find any „closer insights“ on this topic, e.g. like this. Thanks.
This article is very interesting, and it would be even more interesting to read the entire military report “ENERGIE GEWINNUNG AUS URAN”.
Will we ever know the truth about this dark but fascinating period? The cellar of the Collège De France has been walled up for decades, the underground tank intended to contain 9,000 tonnes of heavy water produced by the Toulouses factory was destroyed just after 9/11. (yes, Nine Thousand Tons.)
But I remain convinced that Gentner and Joliot-Curie did not use their cyclotron to produce tracers for biochemistry experiments... And why build a tank camouflaged as a gasometer to concentrate in a single place all the stock of heavy water produced in France? It would have been better to disperse the stock to protect it from possible air raids.
What was the purpose of the immense cavern dug by the Germans in the forbidden zone of the Ardennes mountain, connected to the Meuse by two enormous cooling pipes?
These are questions that historians of the future will have to answer.
Right now we don't have time to worry about these dangerous questions, because we have the History to write. (And I say this in all modesty, because it is the pure truth.)
But if you are interested in open literature, note that in April 1942, Isaac André-Moles (the father of the famous physicist and philosopher Abraham André-Moles) published “La Science Et La Vie” (French "Popular Science") an excellent article in which he describes in details the creation of a homogeneous “reactor” with natural uranium moderated with oxygen, and he poses a challenge to physicists around the world, a challenge which will be taken up 9 months later by Fermi in Chicago. (unhomogenous, moderated by graphite, a best choice with no doubt)
André-Moles does not hide that this “reactor” “could explode catastrophically”, but he seems confident in the two stabilizing effects of the increase in the thermal energy of neutrons and the thermal dilatation of the fuel. He was a laureate of Polytechnique (the French MIT), and he could not be so deluded.
Why was his challenge not taken up by German physicists? Perhaps they preferred to follow the path of the thermal neutrons bomb, which can be made with only a few kilograms of uranium. And these few kilograms, Von Ardenne was quite capable of producing them. (Von Ardenne was a sort of “Elon Musk” of the thirties, and above all he was the best industrial specialist in ion beam optics. He ended up Hero of the Soviet Union, gess why.)
Le Réalisme Fantastique est toujours d'actualité...
Conjectured Transient Release Of Zero Point Vacuum Energy In Powerful Electric Discharges
Dr F. Winterberg
(n.b. will edit when I find the date. It is Somewhere between 2004 and 2008)
Friedwartd Winterberg knows what he is talking about. I have one of his books in front of me while I write. He skillfully weaves truth with falsehood for purposes they were only few people to knew. The explosion of metal wires remains an interesting technique, and yet it is amongst the oldest LENR method:
One hundred years and four months ago, “Science & Vie”, the french "Popular Science" made the headlines about the LENR experiments carried out in Chicago by Wendt & Irion.
Fifteen years later, André Helbronner, Jacques Bergier and Edward Dutt used this technique to synthesize polonium by exploding wires of deuterated bismuth.

thank you for these happy memories of a world at peace. May peace return to Europe again!

As the great Tiolskovski did them before, our Russian friends know how to project their minds beyond the limits of our dimension and bring back to greater dimensions harvests of ideas of inestimable value. Today, I wish for peace to allow us to come back and exchange with them the ideas that will allow our species to escape extinction and rise to the stars.
Lord, give to the Russians what belong to russians give to and the Ukrainians what is theirs and may the peace extend over the chernozem, the most fertile land on earth for plants, and the most fertile land for spirit.
Amen.

Robert Murray-Smith's videos are very interesting. I admit to being one of his “fans”. I share his doubts regarding this new Korean device. However, there is a very simple test to see if an energy generator is working or not: If the device really works, all you have to do is inject at the entrance part of the current produced at the output. If it doesn't work, it's because we made a measurement error, or a design error, or both at the same time.
Let's admit that few free energy machines pass this test successfully.
And even in the case where a device produces net energy, and not excess energy, such as our solid-state fusion diodes, the hypothesis of a chemical energy source must still be eliminated. It's easier said than done.
Let's take the example of the famous device of the Clarendon Pile in Oxford, which I had discussed during a previous meeting on LENR co-organized by Airbus Industrie in Toulouse: even the excellent Robert Murray-Smith makes a mistake in this video about Clarendon pile: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-Ru0odwhmc
indeed, it rightly the average current is of the order of a nanoampere.
(I had calculated it exactly from the electrical capacity of a 5mm diameter sphere discharged twice per second, I no longer have the figure in mind, but it was of the order of a nanoampere) But it this is a nanoampere at 2 kV which make two milliwatts. (I also did the calculation considering the height to which the spheres had been raised for 180 years, and I obtained a notable fraction of the Earth-Moon distance) Of course, there is an elastic rebound, metal on metal , but this rebound has diminished over the last century, because a blotter has been placed on the bell to stifle the jingle.
The device was manufactured before, and the frequency of the ringing was probably higher at first, but let's keep the date of 1840 and the frequency of 2 hertz.
The device has been operating in a documented manner for almost 184 years, which makes 184x365x24 = 1611840 hours so the energy spent during this period of time is 3223680 mWh or 3.223680 kWh
In Ampere-hour this is obviously 1611840 nAh or 1.61 Ah
Let’s compare with the energy stored in commercial batteries.
AA Ni-Metal hydride battery: 2.350Ah
Car battery: 50 Ah for a small passenger car.
The conclusion I drew in my presentation was the following:
1) This is not a Zamboni battery (the Zamboni type dry batteries used during the last war to power the infrared glasses and night vison intensifiers of Allied and German snipers worked well, but they discharged very quickly, including during open circuit storage.)
2) The chemical energy contained in the two tubes covered with sulfur is clearly insufficient to maintain the activity of the battery for 184 years, including imagining the action of bacteria transforming the sulfur into gaseous sulfur compounds, which could be dissolve in the battery and oxidize the metal layers. (sulfur has no odor, but if you touch it with your bare hand, it will quickly give off the famous “sulfur” smell)
No studies have been conducted on the sublimation of sulfur. Theoretically, the cyclic allotropic form S8 should be able to sublimate, at very low speed.
The manganese dioxide used in Zamboni batteries (and also in all the commercial batteries that you put in the toys given to your children at Christmas is a PROTONIC CONDUCTOR (yes, like our dear palladium!)
Could it be possible that the unknown constructor of the Clarendon Pile had discovered by chance the means of forming a Solid-State Fusion Diode, and that the solution to the problem which brings us together in this forum was found before the eyes of all the greats minds of the past century, from JJ Thomson to Rutherford, without forgetting our master, Professor Josephson?
This is the hypothesis that guides our work on Solid-State Fusion Diodes.

More Stars Than the Eye of Theory Can See

Stars in this globular cluster are supposed to have evolved into a bright giant phase. Recent observations reveal that 70% of them didn’t. Credit: ESO
Original Post December 24, 2013
A second generation of stars in the globular cluster NGC 6752 stopped evolving. Perhaps they’re waiting for a better theory.
The idea that stars evolve is one of those unjustifiable preconceptions with which observations are interpreted and understood. With that idea for ink, astronomers can draw explanatory curves through the observed characteristics of particular stars. The curves are collected into a Theory of Stellar Evolution, which is claimed to be verified by all the observations that lie on the curves (or at least close to them).
No one has actually observed any particular star evolve. No one has seen a star move along the curve theoretically set out for it. A few have been observed to jump from one curve to another, but they were easily ignored.
The idea that an observation that doesn’t fit the curve falsifies the theory and requires trying out other preconceptions is naive: People are not that easily convinced to abandon or even to question their prior beliefs. The usual practice is to patch the theory and to dismiss alternatives out of hand. If patching fails, the discrepant observation is simply ignored and any gadflies who persist in mentioning it are expelled.
A recent discrepant observation may require more effort. It is of stars in a globular cluster that have characteristics far from the calculated curve of cluster evolution. Cluster stars are supposed to evolve through a giant phase in which they eject much of their mass. But astronomers found “[a]s many as 70% of the stars were not undergoing the final nuclear burning and mass-loss phase.” One observer remarked, “so there will be 70% fewer of the brightest stars than theory predicts. It also means our computer models of stars are incomplete and must be fixed!”
We can be sure that “fixing” means “patching.” Considering other preconceptions is taboo. Cosmic electricity is not to be mentioned.
If stars are externally powered by galactic electric circuits, their characteristics will vary with changes in the currents that drive them. A surge or “brown-out” will cause a star to jump to another spectral class or to explode.
This process, too, could be couched in terms of evolution, just as you could speak of a light bulb evolving from the time you turn it on until it burns out. But that is not the most useful or apt idea to use for an understanding that enables you to do things with it. The most useful aspect of the idea of stellar evolution may be that it will turn out to be wrong.

A theory accepted as a revelation faulted by a few observations. Doesn’t that remind you of anything? At the heart of Jupiter is a massive core of metal larger than Earth. At the heart of the sun is the same massive core of metal larger than Jupiter.
One day, the scientific world will realize that astrophysics is only a chapter of Condensed Matter Nuclear Science.
Talking of that device, this news article from a couple days ago reminded me of it.
Yes, for centuries the north geomagnetic pole circled above the eskimos in a 1000 km diameter circle located halfway between Victoria Island and Baffin Island.
And then a few years ago, for unknown reasons, he started heading towards the North Pole. In France, the declination has gone from 7° to 0° in less than 30 years. It’s good for hikers and fans of studying the orientation of prehistoric monuments like me.
And so, the circle of the Northern Lights descended towards Europe.
For example, this Sunday, we saw the Northern Lights on the Côte d'Azur, which had NEVER happened in human memory. It's not my favorite place, I was on vacation in Brittany, and I didn't see the stars once, nor of course the polar lights.
But the geomagnetic pole has not stopped, it will soon be in Siberia, and the declination will become positive in Europe. It became zero in 2019 in Paris. We already have a variation between 1.5 and 2.5° in Paris, the number varies depending on the sources.
By the way, this will have other consequences, because I suppose that the south geomagnetic pole is also moving: if Putin does a hectomegaton test vertically over Jeannette Island (which was once American territory...), the particles will follow the field to the conjugate point and this will produce magnificent auroras australis above the Canberra/Sydney/Melbourne triangle, a place on Earth where no one has ever seen auroras australis. Spectacular, but without any danger other than political.
Not a specialist in statistics and probability science, I am an experimentator, but in my mind, its means "close to zero".
J'espère que la Paix nous permettra bientôt de retourner participer à des conférences et à des recherches en Russie.
