Dangers of Lithium Ion Batteries???

Status Update on the E-Cat

The E-Cat in the news:
Link to Pravda

Interview with Andrea Rossi:


My Synopsis the information released on Andre Rossi's E-Cat:

The E-Cat uses a specially processed nickel powder, enriched in isotopes 62 and 64.  Atomic hydrogen released or recombined with a hydride depending on the temperature.  A special catalyst discovered by Andrea Rossi is required to reach high COP energy production.  

Early work in the development of the E-Cat was plagued by instability developing as the temperature rises. Originally this was addressed by restricting the temperature to between 100 and 130 degrees. Andrea Rossi found a new solution to problem. This involves separating the unit into two components.


The basic basic module is an apparatus consisting of two components: 
  • An activator, which consumes about 900 Wh/h and produces about 910 Wh/h of heat. 
  • The E-Cat proper which produces 10 kW and needs only the input from energy from the activator.
This heat from the activator activates the E-Cat and and can be further utilized by the application, so that its electrical cost is paid back by itself. The activator is active for about 35% of the operational time of the system. The E-Cat proper, activated by the heat of the Activator, works for about the 65% of the operational time, producing about 10 kWh/h without consuming any electricity from the grid. By combining modules industrial units E-Cats of 10 kW, 100 kW, 1 MW size can be manufactured.

Work on a natural gas driven E-Cat is in progress at the request of a client.  However, difficulties have been encountered in the initiation of such a device.

Unexpected phenomena have been observed during the operation of the E-Cat.  This has led to the hope that someday direct conversion of energy from the E-Cat to electricity might be possible.

Safety certification of a home unit has been delayed until there is a sufficient track record for the industrial units in operation.

As I noted earlier:

  • The formerly assumed main reaction, i.e. the transmutation from nickel into copper, seems to be only a side effect which does not yield significant amounts of energy.
  • Transmutations from nickel into other nickel isotopes and iron were also reported / detected.
  • The measured gamma radiation indicates that a transmutation from hydrogen into helium takes place.
  • No memtion of d+p → 3He or where the helium comes from.

The high temperature unit will operate at 350 degrees at the heat exchanger. Destructive testing has been performed above 1000 degrees. See the photo below.

Majorana Shielding


Majorana shielding is a gravitational anomaly localized in spacetime caused by the mutual annihilation of gravitons on a distant (Poincare duality type) boundary layer, e.g., gravitons from our sun passing near the moon during a total solar eclipse.   The term is often specific to the types of gravitational experiments suggested by Ettore to his uncle, but which he would never allow his name be associated.  Curiously, replication of such experiments has never been attempted by anyone according to many reports.  This seems odd since how would someone know whether an attempted replication has been made?  Ettore, Matvei Petrovich Bronstein, and Thomas Townsend Brown were the three people in the thirties who may have understood gravity.  Both were home schooled so well it is almost unbelievable. Matvei is the one who proved that General Relativity is incompatible with Quantum Theory. Astronomical observations suggest the existence of a cosmological constant introduced by Einstein (1917). Its value corresponds to the vacuum energy density (Bronstein 1933). (It should be noted that Bronstein did not use the term 'graviton' even though the word had already been in use as early as 1934.) It is now known that neutrons do not fall under gravity, but rather hop from height to height as they thought. Matvei disappeared at the same time as Ettore.  Matvei  is believed to have died in the government’s mass murder of physicists at that time, but his wife was told he was sentenced to 10 years  of labor camps without the right of correspondence. In 1990, she was shown the judgment that he had instead been sentenced to death by firing squad.  The Olso Report lead to the next mass murder of physicists. Jacques Solomon (1908-1942), undertook to develop Bronstein's ideas. However, he also was not to continue the work either. In 1942, he was arrested as an activist of the French Resistance and executed by the German Gestapo. After the end of the cold war, Matvei's ideas became known in the west. 

The following is a quote from the Afterword to the English Edition of the book 

Matvei Petrovich Bronstein

and Soviet Theoretical Physics in the Thirties

It is impossible to pass over that Ettore Majorana and Matvei Bronstein both 
were born in 1906 and died in 1938, both had no graves. This parallel is rather 
superficial: being enigmatically indifferent to life and steeped in pessimism gifted 
Italian choose to take his own life. In March 1938 he boarded a ship and no one saw 
him again. In what abyss did he disappear? It is unknown.

The same analogy is draw in:

Joke for Today - Ettore in 3-D

Photocredit:

un altro italiano, che si fa chiamare “signor Bini”
I dreamed I met the man reputed to be the world's greatest physicist who inevitably had to spend his life in disguise. Is this really the great one?  What question could I ask to know if this is him?  I asked him why no one mentions that having particles that are their own antiparticles could lead to charge violation.  He laughs and says everyone knows this, but they discover them anyway.   Besides, charge is not a physical symmetry.

Cold Fusion

Yet more cold fusion patent applications:

Notes

  • The formerly assumed main reaction, i.e. the transmutation from nickel into copper, seems to be only a side effect which does not yield significant amounts of energy.
  • Transmutations from nickel into other nickel isotopes and iron were also reported / detected.
  • The measured gamma radiation indicates that a transmutation from hydrogen into helium takes place.
  • No memtion of d+p → 3He or where the helium comes from.

Thoughts:

anti-neutrino + electron → positron + neutron (tau~28micros(0.1% Gd)→ neutron + proton deuterium + 2.2 MEV gamma

Timothy 1:10


A lesson in Greek and Gothic.  I am looking for friends (words that are similar looking and meaning to English ones) in Greek and Gothic. Rather than trying to give the most precise translation, I try to use friends as a leaning aid   "Healthy" from Gothic becomes healing and from Greek it becomes hygienic, etc. "Slave trader" from Greek becomes "man's subduer" in Gothic. "Liars" and "False swearers" become "perjurers"" "false oath takers" in Greek. "Stand against" is the way I translate from Gothic and "lies opposite" is the way from Greek. Gothic sounds more spiritual while Greek sounds more abstract, geometric and sterile to me. I wonder how it sounds to others?  "Teachings" (or doctrine) are learning in Gothic and a scholastic thing in Greek. Maybe this means that the Geeks went to school, and the Goths were home schooled. The Gothic translation ignores the word αρϲενοκοιταιϲ.  This is probably because they did know what it meant and figured the catch all phrase at the end would take care of it.  

Gothic


My translation from Gothic:
Whore mongers (or whorers), man’s subduers, liars, false swearers, and any others that  to this healing learning stand against

My translation from Greek:
φονοιϲ · πορνοιϲ                 for the murderers, for the promiscuous
αρϲενοκοιταιϲ                     for men in beddings
ανδραποδιϲταιϲ f                or slave traders
ψευϲταιϲ · επιορκοιϲ   for perjurers, for false oath takers
και ει τι ετερον τη     and if any other than this
ϋγιαινουϲη διδα           (which to this) hygienic thing
ϲκαλια αντικειται       scholastic, lies opposite


Timothy 1:4

Hold not to spiel nor genealogies that go on forever and raise questions, but more as building for God that which dwells in faith.


P.S. I am trying to learn, not teach.
