The way the AEC scramble like a squadron of F16s to investigate the radiation and how the only angle the media want to take is RADIATION THREAT TERRORISM is sad, but another symptom of the top down suppression of nuclear power.

Fusors should be in the same danger rating as bananas. A sunny day is more dangerous wrt radiation.

Will the AEC investigate and arrest lightning clouds when they fuse light elements?

This forum is pretty quiet compared to the others, or maybe no-one has bothered to measure the electric field of a decaying plasmoid?

So I’ll have a go at answering my own question, at least I’ll do a very rough estimate of the electric field of the decay of a plasmoid.

LLP are getting ( or aiming to get ) magnetic fields roughly around 3 giga gauss in strength in their plasmoids.

Faraday’s law is Electric field is proportional to change of magnetic field over time.

When a plasmoid pops, the magnetic field converts into a electric field.

How long does it take for a small plasmoid to collapse? 100 nanosecond? just guessing….

If E = M / t
then
E = 3*10^9 / 100*10^-9 = 3*10^16 Volts per metre

This electric field is close to the critical quantum field which is 1.6*10^18 Volts per meter.
It would only take the collapse of a 1 magnitude smaller, denser plasmoid than what LLP is currently aiming for to create the quantum critical field, therefore allowing virtual particles to become real at no energy cost.

The quantum energy density of the vacuum is speculated to be ultra high, I’ve seen it hypothesised to be up to around 10^90J per cm^3, although I expect its much lower than that.

LLP might get more than they expect as their plasmoids become smaller and denser.

If the big bang didn’t happen then what created all this matter I see in the universe? Collapsing plasmoids creating electric fields over the critical quantum field therefore allowing virtual particles to become real might be what.

Only me find this interesting?

That 1st book is out of print, the 2nd one goes on about the big bang and the early universe, so that doesn’t count either.

Thanks I’ve downloaded it for personal use.

But this is an example of what I’m saying, there’s no popular account of plasma physics, only academic texts.
Why don’t you write one zapkitty?

Did you follow the link to the Cornell paper?
http://arxiv.org/abs/1305.3913
http://arxiv.org/pdf/1305.3913v3

Seems legit to me.

As to why they didn’t dunk it in water, I guess for the same reason you don’t dunk FF1 in water to see if it works. It’s an electrical device, it would need proper insulation.

Can anyone go into more detail as to why they think Rossi is a fraud? In the mean time I will ask them about a water dunk test at their forum http://www.lenr-forum.com/forum/.

:edit :
hmm on further investigation it seems its a fraud.
the Cornell university emblem duped me. Didn’t know fraud papers could get in that archive.

Well here’s an amateur’s rough design. If its no good, you can tell me why and I can learn something!

Are we allowed to move the anode away from the cathode?
– The barriers have orifices to allow fluid circulation.
– The cathode edge ( and ideally its whole cylinder ) is positioned out of direct line from the fusion zone
– If need be, the anode can be simply shielded from direct line of the fusion zone too.

Sooo, what happens next?
I see they are influential people whose support has been gained, which will be useful for any government assessments in the future.
But…
Did that committee also control funds?
Are they working as assessors, who report back to a government funding agency?

Your title says ” An independent scientific review “
independent in the ” we’re not biased ” sense, or independent in the ” we’re not government ” sense? If the latter, were they a private consultancy agency hired by the government and are now reporting back?

Is there a timetable of events that should trigger from this report?

Have you tried out copper versions of this single jagged cylinder cathode yet?

I suspect the arcs would unsportingly favour some points to arc from much more than others.

[meemoe_uk]

Oh good simple point!
I just thought the large scale up just ionize the whole chamber, but I forgot about that.

[meemoe_uk]

Yes, that’s the way I see it. Silver is a better conductor so there will be slightly less arcing, but when the arcs come, silver evaporates more than copper. The problem isn’t solved, it’s shifted.

Best guess at the moment is that silver plating is doing another job – it will smooth over the surfaces of the cathodes, which have developed a few surface features from arc erosion which then act as foci for more arcs.

It’s a stop gap solution until the tungsten arrives.

[meemoe_uk]

In the report :
When talking about evaporated metal impurities in the plasma caused by arcing, you say you will plate the cathodes with silver.

Why do this?
Silver has a slightly lower melting and significantly lower boiling temperature than copper, and plating is prone to ex-foliation. I don’t see how silver plating will help with reducing arcing or metal evaporation.
