New attempt at explaining LENR

I see 3 options there

1. The scientists doing the test are complete idiots
2. There are in on the fraud
3. There is anomalous heat production in excess of any known chemical sources

Well, since I find options 1&2 having very little plausibility...

Does Jim Woodward have a blog?

So nextbigfuture has posted a summary of Woodward's book (making starships and stargates) on wormholes, warp and the mach effect, is there anyone else here who has read the book and can shine some light on it? I am about 70% thru the book and so far there has not much talk about the stargates, the ...

1.7g is a lot of gravity. Take your weight, then stuff 70% of it into a back- pack and try wearing it all day long. Even carrying 15% of your body weight in a backpack gets tiring after a while. I would say that 1.2g is about the maximum that people could live with. A planet with 1.7g gravity is no...

if you presume a density similar to Earth with 5 X the mass, and note mass goes with ~4R^3, The surface is not going to be much further from the center than we are here on Earth. I'm sure you can do the calc, but I'd guess it's got to be close to 5 gees on the surface. Suppose it's just 4, or even ...

Galvagni has been to EESTOR twice. During the second visit, closer to the end of the report he says that the permittivity is no longer in tens of thousands but in millions, which is 2 orders of magnitude higher than from what they originally promised. The main concern is not permittivity but the Dis...

ZENN hired an independent expert, John Galvagni to evaluate EESTOR progress. I found his report interesting. Here is his background: I have been employed in the capacitor industry for over 40 years, and have more than 50 patents in the field. I retired in the spring of 2010 from AVX Corporation, a l...

Nothing new but interesting they picked up on it. No mention of Woodward.

1) Questions credibility of Rossi's claims. If Rossi is uncredible then why would DK's derivation of Rossi's invention be credible? I thought that was pretty obvious. There are either both fraud on neither is. Public relation skills have nothing to do with facts and the fact is that whatever DK hav...

The Gay Marriage “problem” has nothing to do with gays or with marriage. It is really about having the government use the power of legislature to change the meaning of words. “Gay” no longer means what is used to either… Homosexual partnership is not an ordinary marriage in the way the word was alwa...

Seriously Skippy, you're a moron wishing he had a clue. Ohhh, again the ad hominem attacks. They make you appear very smart. He seems to specialize in those. According to GIThruster MSimon is a drug addict because he has Paruresis, Paul March is pathetic because he does not want to limit his experi...

In the Roman Empire, a slave working outside of his master household was entitled to keep 10% of his earnings. At least he could hope to save up to buy himself out of slavery. We can't. But we have a voice (vote) in choosing our slavers. They hadnt. Also, you can always leave the country and move s...

Dude all we have in politics today is a slave auction. The Democrats want me to slave for government for 150 days a year. The Republicans say that is mean and excessive and offer me a compromise of 140 days this year and only 150 next. In the Roman Empire, a slave working outside of his master hous...
