Abundant Clean Green Energy

Rossi is a bit more interesting than MIT

It is hard to believe the world does not have Helium-3 Power Reactors in the 21st century.

Excerpt from Rossi's Blog/Journal:

Dear Mr Rossi
About the new 600° celsius e-cat:

1)Does it start with the same time of the the “first” ecat or is it more faster to began to work ?

2)Does it uses the same quantity of Ni/H ?

3)Do you think it still can work for 6 month with one recharge or the new version “burns” NI/H faster ?

4)Are the “ashes” still composed with 30% copper or something’s changed ?

5)Do you think this new product will require a different certification from the “old” version ?

6) when the new product will be released, this will replace the first version or do you think you’ll sell both products ?

Thank you very much, and good luck Mr Rossi.

Dear Carlo Salvi:
1- faster
2- less
3- yes
4- changed
5- yes
6- no: they have different purposes.
Warm Regards,

The Solvay Conference

Not really, but the closest I could find. It is nice to hear about the "right hand partner" of the neutrino, heavy electrons, etc. as fact rather than theoretical constructs with no experimental justification. It makes me wish I actually lived in 2012 where the evidence for ultra low momentum electrons in lightning was clear.

Musical E-Cats

The prototype 1 Megawatt E-Cat was demonstrated last October in Italy. It was purchased by a customer in the U.S. for the military. Instead of shipping it across the ocean, a new one was built. The original one had a problem with leaky gaskets which had to be fixed. Through work with the customer, the E-Cat has been improved. A demonstration of the new instrumentation was given on 20 February 2012. Formerly, stable operation could only be achieved by limiting operation to about 250 degrees Centigrade.  Now stable operation appears to be possible at 600 degrees Centigrade. Testing at a higher temperature has been proceeding for over a month so far. The original prototype in Italy is being sold to a European customer.  The 1 Megawatt E-Cat is still selling for 1.5 million U.S. dollars.

Like Rossi's company, claims to allow operation at higher temperatures of about 350 degrees Centigrade. This is the the limit for using water as the thermal transfer medium. Defkalion also states that it limits temperature in the core to 500 degress centigrade. About  Defkalion had a test on 24 February attended by some Italian governmental officials. After which, they imposed a blackout on information until August 2012. Some anonymous person posted the following:

I was told that they were trying to actually see what happens in their device with some glass with a melting point of 1500degc. They saw it light up like the sun and then it melted the glass. This just took a second or two. I was told what their working theory was, but they really don’t know what is going on. They have brought in several academics with a myraid of explanations . . .

This makes me speculate that perhaps helium-3 was being adsorbed into the glass and triggered a reaction. I have not seen any speculation from anyone other than myself.

electronic lattice bound materials

Classic Definitions: Of the millions of different chemical systems discovered since chemistry began, many are solids at room temperature. From the early days these solids have been classified in the four families, molecular, ionic, covalent and metallic solids, based on the nature of the forces which bind the atoms. Ideal solids consist of an arrangement of atoms repeated indefinitely in space. The term extended solid refers to the case where the bonding between the atoms is reasonably uniform in strength throughout the structure (e.g. diamond, metallic Cu). An ionic material is an extended solid in which substantial charge transfer has occurred (e.g. NaCl). A molecular (or atomic) solid consists of small discrete molecules (or atoms) weakly bound together (e.g. solid CH4 or Xe, white P). The latter category should be characterised by low melting points (or low sublimation temperatures). Molecular solids are composed of groups of covalently bound atoms, i.e., molecules, held by weak charge-polarization (van der Waals) forces. In ionic solids, electrostatic attraction is the primary force binding cations and anions. Bonding in covalent solids is similar to that within molecules but extends over the whole crystallite. Metallic solids also exhibit extended bonding but, in addition, possess weakly bound, highly delocalized electrons easily moved by applied fields. Of course, this classification is somewhat artificial and many solids exhibit complex bonding in which more than one type of bonding is displayed. Molecular clusters in the solid state are naturally described nowadays with molecular-orbital models. The forces binding the fundamental units (atoms, ions or molecules) together may be essentially non-directional or directional. Non-directional forces result in structures based on close packing, while directional forces lead to more open structures, often based on linked polyhedra or groups of polyhedra. The two categories are now considered separately.

Darpa Definition: Extended solids are polymorphs/phases of simple molecules that are currently formed under ultrahigh pressure conditions where strong intermolecular bonding and tight crystal packing can be induced, leading to dramatic changes in physical, mechanical, and functional properties.

Darpa talks about extented high pressure phases. By this they apparently mean phases that can be induced by high pressure although high pressure is not needed to maintain them. This is not a very good use of the word, extended, which has been used to refer to the case where atomic or molecular bonding is reasonably uniform.. I assume they actually mean materials bound by an electronic lattice. The strength and QED properties of the electronic lattice often confers exceptional properties on the materials.

Today's Swedish Lesson

A song, of course.

“Jag måste va’ barnvakt”

Jag måste va’ barnvakt.   Vara barnvakt åt denna tjej.   Vara barnvakt Hemma hos mig. Det e inte okej.  Att passa denna tjei.   Det e inte din grej.  Att passa inte som mig. Jag måste va’ barnvakt.   Jag måste va’ barnvakt.   

My translation:

I must be babysitting. Being babysitter for this girl. Babysitting at home with me. This is not okay. To accommodate this girl. The is not your thing. That does not suit me. I must be babysitting. I must be babysitting.

My translation:

Part 4 of 10. Mojje's love holiday in the mountains seems to be not quite what he intended. Not only has the crack surfaced, but in addition, the guys in the band are not so happy to live in a shack in the mountains instead of a bungalow on a beach in the Caribbean

Electronic Lattices

The visible world consists of electronic lattices composed of orbitrons, spinons and holons.  An orbitron is a particle with an angular momentum quantum number.  In one form, its oscillations may give rise to neutrinos.  A holon is usually defined as synonym for chargon, but is sometimes defined as its antiparticle.  A holon is a charged boson.  A spinon is neutral, charge ½ fermion.  Spinons can bind together with an elastic force in a pair called a magnon.    A holon and a spinon can also bind together. By changing the surface energy of the lattices, you change the way they interact. For example, by lowering the surface energy of graphene oxide membrane you can make it super hydrophilic and change the color.  The collective behavior of charged particles confined within a two dimensional lattice gives rise to photons at the edges.  How many more dimensions are needed to produce gravity?

Today it possible to create allotropes of elements and compounds held together by electronic lattices that where declared to be impossible in the last century.  Look at the solid allotropes of Xenon and hydrogen.  Who would have dreamed living in a world with everything from Fermi degenerate plasmas of electrons or hydrogen ions to chiral A-A layering of graphene?  Everything is now possible.  Earth could be made into a paradise for everyone with just some graphene oxide, but who would believe?
