NASAs Bushnell: BTW LENR Solves Global Climate and Energy
admin on December 2, 2011 9 Comments
The long-awaited details from Dennis Bushnells Sep 22, 2011 presentation have surfaced. They are still not on the official site (bottom of page) and I cant find the original through Google, so I put a slight cautionary note here that the contents have yet to be verified. Believe it or not, these are just some of the points he makes. None of them will surprise many of you reading this but even so and coming from someone famed for sticking his neck out like Dennis Bushnell, I still have to say, Wow!
Over 2 decades with over 100 experiments worldwide indicate LENR is real, much greater than Chemical, Transmutations, Minimal radiation
The many Rossi demonstrations in 2011 suggest LENR may produceuseful quantities of heat [up to 15KWs ?]. Watts-to-Kilowatts also produced in Piantelli and Patterson Experiments
Between Chemical and strong force Nuc Energy Densities with minimal radiation safety/ protection requirements/ issues, probably inexpensive
Direct and potentially massively/ truly game-changing
The Rossi device, possibly producing useful energy but wholly Edisonian, not scalable and not Optimized
Huge number of knobs/ approaches appear towork, issue is how good can it be? Requires experiments guided by theory and major creative efforts/ inputs along with CAREFUL Experiments, YEARS of effort required. Rossi is just the merest beginnings of the research/ engineering optimization required.
Superb light weight power/ energy sources for space probes/ instruments and hoppers/ rovers, far less expensive than solar and better than radiologics for beyond Mars where solar does not work
Reduced LEO (Low Earth Orbit) and in space propulsion weights/ costs
Solves EDL (Entry, Descent, and Landing) for large payloads to Mars via ingestion, heating and retro injection of atmospheric CO2
Potentially obviates order of 80% of the 1000 metric ton LEO (Low Earth Orbit) up-mass for Humans Mars which is in-space fuel, Propulsive mass from far outer region atmosphere or regolith
Source for energy beaming, energy to terraform Mars, Enables Active Space Radiation Protection
Overall, enables what we have never had Energy Rich design space[s]
Fuel fraction becomes negligible, huge impacts upon vehicle gross weights, especially for SSTs which are some 55% fuel fraction
For the military EMP on steroids, VTOL obviates air bases/ runways/ carrier decks, enables loitering combined sensor/ weapon devices [ instead of getting there in time ARE THERE, always]
In Short, LENR , depending upon the TBD performance, appears to be capable of Revolutionizing Aerospace across the board. No other single technology even comes close to the potential impacts of LENR upon Agency Missions.
Test/ determine the performance of the Rossi and Piantelli devices
Experimentally validate the weak interaction theories
The 2 decades of experiments and the weak interaction theories have removed the existential risk, what is remaining is to ENGINEER for improved performance. Also obviously all the safety issues, labs have blown up studying this arena
SO Invent/ create optimized/ improved LENR Devices, testing Rossi is merely a small first step, do the systems and propulsive/other application R&D
BTW LENR [ also] solves Global Climate and Energy
We went directly from Chemical to strong force Nuc and in the process bought huge energetics improvements and radiation protection/ safety issues that precluded fission nuc application[s], We leapt over the weak interaction energetics landscape except for radiologics. It is time to back-track.
From the NASA website
http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/sensors/PhySen/research.htm
Tests conducted at NASA Glenn Research Center in 1989 and elsewhere consistently showed evidence of anomalous heat during gaseous loading and unloading deuterium into bulk palladium. At one time called cold fusion, now called low-energy nuclear reactions (LENR), such effects are now published in peer-reviewed journals and are gaining attention and mainstream respectability. The instrumentation expertise of NASA GRC is applied to improve the diagnostics for investigating the anomalous heat in LENR.

None of the other scientists you mentioned (nor anyone else) has a clue about what’s going on inside and E-Cat.
***Feel free to provide evidence for this assertion as well.
I’ve read and seen several instances where one of the scientists you’ve mentioned above has taken a totally unsubstantiated claim from Rossi and treated it as though it were a well-established fact.
***Feel free to provide evidence for this assertion as well.
I find it very interesting that the only times there were competent outsiders at tests (NASA and Quantum) that Rossi was apparently unable to get his gadget to work.
***Wrong. At least for NASA. Their position is that it did not operate in Heat After Death mode for more than 6 hours, which was their arbitrary cutoff point. Any device operating for more than an hour in HAD mode is proof enough for the average researcher, but NASA is playing politics here.
Heres my standard ignore post to Lx.
This will be my standard post to you that says youre not worth trying to have reasonable discussion, also says buzz off & doesnt leave crickets. Maybe you should sign up for a few more years of therapy.

Lx to Kevmo
I see...years of therapy on your horizon, better start now.
It’s really helped me be nicer, more sympathetic and understanding.

This will be my standard post to moonboy that says youre not worth trying to have reasonable discussion, also says buzz off & doesnt leave crickets. But if it offends you to the point that you get it removed like my prior innocuous citation then Ill have to come up with some other ignore button post.

This means I have nothing more to say to you about LENR. Bye.

Before long, your Scam Spam threads are going to be half filled with your childish, repetitive non-responses.

He should just add those silly posts to his normal spam header.
If ecat is not a scam, the easiest way to discredit it would be to chum the waters with red herrings, basically plant evidence of fraud. It would be so easy to believe.
He should put them on his own web page and then link to them. He’d save everybody bandwidth that way, and still have some childish satisfaction for himself.
At least we see you have come out of the closet, you polar bear loving global warming one world government ....
We are talking about someone pushing global warming as an angle in promoting another fraud. ... .. .ROSSI
LOL
“....basically plant evidence of fraud.” Do you really believe this...LOL
Johnny, one need not attend the Goebbles school of propaganda to identify ad hominem attack and circumstantial evidence to discredit an entire field of science. Its amusingly old school - by 70+ years.Wow, pretty ridiculous overreaching by someone who just joined the discussion.
I've documented a decade's worth of news articles about Rossi's various crimes, convictions and jail sentences, among many other reasons to not trust him.
And you reply yet again with the illogical argument that if anyone is doing legitimate LENR research, then it somehow must mean that Rossi is legitimate as well.
That's flawed logic, and your response is a rude attack. Why should anyone bother to discuss this with you? If you pull way back on the vitriol, perhaps you can become a useful part of this conversation. But has it stands right now, you're just a rude little boy who is screaming for attention.
If ecat is not a scam, the easiest way to discredit it would be to chum the waters with red herrings, basically plant evidence of fraud. It would be so easy to believe.Congratulations, Kevmo. You've reached a whole new level of paranoia.
So, you're now claiming that Rossi is part of the Cold Fusion coverup?
Even Focardi admits that he doesnt know how Rossis E-Cats are made or how they work.LINK
***Feel free to provide evidence for this assertion.
When asked about pressure containment in an E-Cat, Focardi (through Rossi as a translator) states that "evidently" the walls are strong enough, and Rossi adds that "he does not know how the reactor is built."
None of the other scientists you mentioned (nor anyone else) has a clue about whats going on inside and E-Cat.From the article of the interview with Sven Kullander you yourself posted HERE:
***Feel free to provide evidence for this assertion as well.
He also said that Rossi is definitely not a fraud and that his friend Focardi and Levi is absolutely not frauds. They are his friends and he trust them.So he's using "they are his friends" as the basis for his trust. Certainly not a scientific opinion.
Sven said that he have asked Rossi if Uppsala university can independently test the device, with the demand that all information will be reveled to the public. If Rossi says no to this Uppsala will not test the device.Reiterating that Rossi refuses to allow any independent testing of his gadget.
Sven kullander sad that Focardi and Levi are both excellent professor that he believe a 100% in, Rossi on the other hand is a little bit of a black box.More stating the obvious about Rossi.
Both scientists are well aware that what they saw and measured does not constitute proof and neither can say with certainty that Rossis claims are true.No additional comment needed.
Kullander is deeply skeptical of the proton capture of nickel, believes that there are other possibilities.Kullander doen't know how it works, and is "deeply skeptical" of the explanation provided by Rossi.
> Ive read and seen several instances where one of the scientists youve mentioned above has taken a totally unsubstantiated claim from Rossi and treated it as though it were a well-established fact.Cold Fusion: Physcists Sven Kullander and Hanno Essén interviewed about the Rossi-Focardi cell
***Feel free to provide evidence for this assertion as well.
Kullander says:
In this case, you have to believe in the inventor Rossi, who says he has been producing heat without any input of energy... And, in addition, he has heated a building in Bologna for a year."No evidence, you just have to "believe" in Rossi.
Kullander than says:
But the problem is that Rossi, and to some extent Focardi, won't release any details. It is unknown what the reactor looks like inside, what substances it contains, the patent is not approved, so therefore the experiment cannot be repeated. And therefore the process cannot be scientifically grounded. The question now is the reliability of the information we have been supplied."The interviewer asks why they think it's credible despite that lack of some essential pieces of information. Kullander says:
Well, partly because he [Rossi] says it... and partly because he has optimized (the process) in different ways.He says that Rossi "has optimized the process in different ways" even though he just finished talking about how they don't know anything about the contents or operations of the gadget. So, how does he know that Rossi has "optimized the process"? Why, Rossi said so, of course!
Kullander then says:
What I think is important... there is a device which is made in many units and which is being sold...Again, no evidence, just Rossi's unsubstantiated claims.
These scientist obvious trust Rossi, but they seem to be doing so in spite of, not because of, any actual evidence being provided.
I don't think that idea is off the table ~ of course the Seagulls got a real problem here ~ they want me to believe in generators or secret chemicals ~
