When will you learn that giving out free-stuff eventually breeds expectations of somethign for nothing. No society can survive that in the long run. You of all should know that. It surrounds you in all directions. [...] There are two opposing ideologies in man, those who think they should earn, and...

bk78, It would seem useful to you that 'we' provide you such a "Great Satan" to rally against. No. It is neither useful nor welcomed that you provide a "Great Satan". Instead, beeing put in the same category as you as a 'western' country causes us some minor problems. My fundamental point is two fo...

As far as military cost, and consideration about, "the good old days" of the cold war. I maintain it was easier. You like the cold war so much because it provided a clear and simple distinction between your side, the good, and the enemy, which you could hate and blame for everything evil. The irony...

BLP has never made such a claim, at least not in the 15 years I've been following them. What have you been smoking? "Within about 14 months, the technology of BlackLight Power, Inc. is expected to go live on a larger scale, and the debate over its value will soon be closed. "We are scaling up our f...

WMD were no way the motivation for the second gulf war in 91. After that war iraq was forces to destroy his arsenal of chemial and biological weapons as well as his nuclear program. WMD were, however, the official main reason promoted by the USA for the war in 2003, asides from the "fight against te...

If it was open and connected to the Hydrogen bottle than I could agree with you that a chemical reaction could explain his claims, but I do not see this possibility at the moment. In WW2 they used an aquaeous solution of 80% hydrogen peroxide to generate a mixture of 480 deg C steam and oxygen as p...

A more interesting example would be a rupture of the superconductor because of mechanical stress. But things are a bit more complicated. First, the surrounding matrix will conduct the current. It's resistance is small, but it increases with temperature. Thermal conductivity is small compared to the ...

From other sources I get the impression that such hyperrelativistic electrons will be stopped quickly with a lot of LOoM keV X-ray which are fairly easy to stop. Why do you think differently? *swallowing the first 3 answers that came to my mind* This is what a bremsstrahlung spectrum looks like. ht...

I think you have made that assertion before. I would like you to explain, specifically, why you say that. Please. Seems I keep asking and you keep sniping. PLEASE, data . PRETTY PLEASE. Let's say, the reactor produces his power in form of 6MeV (was it?) beta radiation. If you have kWs of this beta ...

Luckily, if the first condition (quasi-particle of electrons) is true, there should ALWAYS be an electron available at the time of the reaction to accomplish IC. And for the last time: This process would result in lethal amounts of Bremsstrahlung. Is it true I can't have an ignore list for this for...

100x "no obvious increase" in background can be a VERY obvious increase in background. As a simple observation, AR was saying that there was no radiation output but when he moved the detector away the counter moved from ~15 to ~12. Thus, perhaps, 3 units. X100 = 300 units. SIGNIFICANT INCREASE. At ...

I think we are discussing 2 different things here. For a dedicated energy storage device, quenches are a serious issue. In the 70s, they planned devices with several 100m diameter, for storage of some 10 TWh, so a quench could release the energy of a small atomic bomb. For superconductors that are n...

Regarding resistivity and voltage, as a rule such circuits are fed with voltage of tens or hundreds Volts and even in case of break of SC (superconducting) the resistivity of matrix in which SC filaments are placed is only fractions of Ohm. E.g. for generating of 100 thousands A with circuit resist...

Do you know what background radiation is? OMG! Please oh omniscient one, regale us with your wisdom and technical knowledge. :roll: Look it up on wikipedia, then read my comments again and explain why you don't agree that 100 times detection limit does not mean 100 times background radiation for an...

Their half lives are in the minute to low hour range. Gone before the "product" can be isotopically investigated? If you identify them with a gamma spectrometer, certainly not. Has anyone tried? Would he think to. Would he care? Might he specifically be avoiding it? If the overall output of gamma i...
