Johan,

Welcome. Sounds like you've had a rough trot. Most of us are not in a position to challenge the physics - though we do the best we can. Most are here as interested spectators in this "out-there" technology.... http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... 6673788606 What do you think?

Your website mentions generating room-temp superconducting substrates suitable for electronic chips. How about bulk material for high power conduction - for high power magnets? That would really be of interest. What would be involved in the manufacture of this... http://media.photobucket.com/image/poly ... orulf2.jpg ?

I have done a post on your work here:

and a somewhat abbreviated version for a more general audience here:

By the end of the day 3,000 to 5,000 people will have seen the links. By the end of the week 10,000 to 20,000 will have seen it. You can expect that 10% will actually follow the links and read at least the pdf section I linked to.

Regarding the Ohms law issue: there is zero resistance to the electrons in a vacuum, but the voltage is certainly not 0, nor is current 0.

I have run across many instances of unexplained systems, and radical explanations for them, over the last 35 years at least. Invariably, the people espousing them get relegated to the fringe, and often are denigrated by academia.

My feeling is that if it works, you should make a device which works better than the standard using the effect, and to hell with the academics. Make money with it, and let them explain when they can.

I agree with Wiz though I would add that if you have a protectable technology, you'll want to file for patent here in the US right away too. As soon as whatever you have is protected, I would highly recommend you present here below, as this will give you huge exposure to those looking for investment, etc:

This is not a peer review forum but in many ways it's far better. You'd be shocked at the sheer numbers of investors who stalk the halls. . .

Capitalists (and wealthy dreamers) can easily steamroll over intransigent academics, if properly motivated.

If this can be turned into practical, RT superconducting cables, maybe by some sort of continuous CVD process (and I'm certainly no expert), it won't matter what the high priests of physics think. The implications would be on par with practical p-B11 fusion and Mach-Woodward Effect, with nice synergies possible.

But there is no voltage drop that causes heating either. Energy is either drawn from or returned to the field. "Resistance" only happens when the electrons contact a "solid" object.

All assuming very low densities where the MFP is much longer than the distance traveled.

If this substrate is easy enough to make and test, rather than pressing first for a wire-like version (which I agree with DeltaV is an extraordinarily useful and potent technology), I would immediately characterize your substrate through as much frequency as possible. One of the troubles with things like YBCO is there has never been enough characterization at high frequency. If however you're looking at room temperature substrates, characterizing them right up into the Ghz range could demonstrate what VAST possibilities exist for future electronics.

Yes this is a different kettle of fish. I cannot do that at present: But I believe thatI I know which materials can be developed to obtain this. Although there is a high probability to do this, I cannot do it in my garage on a pension. Strangely enough, I will need highly competent polymer chemists to cooperate with me.

But even if this proves to be impossible, I have no doubt that superconducting processor chips can be manufactured within a very short time limit (about 2 years): But again NOT in my garage. I cannot create a SAMSUNG or INTEL lab in my garage; no matter how much I wanted to do so over the past 10 years.

NEA simply means that one has a material with conduction electrons which are higher in energy than they will be when they are outside in the vacuum. Obviously this definition assumes that there is no interface to the vacuum. When there is an interface a dipole layer will form to equilibrate the conduction electrons to the vacuum level. The latter fact has NOT been realised to be true by the Diamond Physics Community for more than 30 years!

you are 100% correct: But to make a an electtronic device nowadays requires facilities which I do not have in my garage. I have approached institutions which have the facilties, they all believe their "experts" whio claim tha superconduction cannot work this way.

The best I could do is to genertae diamond substrates which can superconduct at room temperature and invite electronics firms to testr these substrates. This invitaion has been on my website for months. So far no takers. What more can I do as a desperately poor retiree?

The patent has been rolled over for a couple of years. It has now been filed using the International Egreement route. This gives me time until the middle of next year to file in the USA provided that I can get financial support. If not I might have to sell out to China. At least they are interested!

Yes, it might be possible but NOT in my garage and on my pension-income. In fact if I have not had the oppostion from the superconsuctor physics church over the past 10 years we might already have had these "goodies".

Very good Simon: But this is exactly where Onnes went wrong: He represented his results in terms of resistance while he REALLY measured voltage. Even at present, ZERO resistance has no meaning. The defining characteristic of superconduction is thus that the applied electric field is cancelled as soon as superconduction sets in. THIS is the experimental result that needs to be explained. NOT a single model to date, except the one in my books, can explain how this happens. Thus NOT any of these models can explain superconduction.

So stop defining superconduction in terms of zero resistance until we can define what zero resistance IS. Which previous law is used to define this unknown monster?

Yes well, two things:

first, unless you're ready to fight in the courts for 15 years, leave off early the notion that your discovery or invention will make you wealthy. Most inventors adore this idea enough that it makes them silly for decades and the terrible truth about this issue is that it is the investors who get wealthy--not the inventors. I wish it weren't so but this is true of writers and publishers and producers as well. That's just the way the world is.

In light of this first observation let me make a second. The place to find investors is the US. From DOD (who already have lots of people doing diamond dielectric work) to labs like EarthTech and Intel, there are plenty of places to get attention to your work. First, if you don't want to see it all go bye-bye, is to file for patent. I don't know how your process works, but if it does not secure your rights here in the US, it's not enough.

Once you have a patent, you can present your data at places like SPESIF. I promise, if you have convincing data, you'll get the attention you need. Many savvy investors are willing to entertain the notion that we don't actually understand what most physicists pretend, about things like superconductivity. The rough time you've had is the natural result of ANY AND ALL CHALLENGES TO CURRENT SCIENTIFIC THEORY. Science in fact HAS to be this way or it would be so shifting that we would never have any confidence in it. So the issue is not you, and to circumvent it, you need to find investors who will pay to do the validation studies, IMHO.
