re: “He knows a career killer when he sees one.”
Peter Hagelstein of MIT lead off with a comment on that very thing a few years back during one of his IAP sessions ...
We don’t mind fact-based differing opinions. What we’ve seen on these threads are a bunch of cowardly seagulls who loudly fly in as a gang, squawk unfactually, leave their bizness all over a legitimate scientific thread, and then leave.
The intent isn’t to engage in scientific discussion, the intent is to scare off lurkers who would be interested, and to attach stigma.
perfect and timely example of seagulling
Feel free to quote from those 2 replications where it says that.
I’m curious if you’ve ever seen this talk by Prof. Huub Bakker, a senior lecturer in engineering at Massey University. In the linked video presentation below he presents a lecture on Randell Mills’ Grand Unified Theory of Classical Physics (GUTCP). This followed up by a (IMHO) weak rebuttable by Prof. Tony Signal, representing the Physics Dept., responding with a critical view.
Prof. Bakker’s presentation is a survey of Mills’ 1800-page thesis and necessarily omits any deep analysis or mathematical proofs. Nevertheless, it is a fascinating introduction to the topic and he forcefully makes the point that Mills is either a fraud or the most gifted thinker of our time. According to Bakker, “there is no middle ground.”
The lecture begins at timestamp 04:30.

“Feel free to quote from those 2 replications where it says that.”
The chart on your linked page.
Well as one who was there, I can testify the promise was real but suffered the death of a thousand cuts.
In one nuc plant, the same ordinary exterior door to the turbine room was taken out and replaced 5 times to meet the constantly revised specifications.
Like Donald Trump, Nuclear power was murdered and pretty much by the same gang of murderers
Maybe he’s a gifted thinking fraudster.
For a while I worked alongside a chief desgn engineer who said one day that he knew several designers who had gone out on their own. They come up with some clever circuit that has a lot of promise and they “milk it for all it’’s worth, even if the damned thing doesn’t work.”
I could tell he was seriously considering going down that path. I knew only 1 design engineer who actually did this, coming up with a novel Adaptive Equalizer circuit.
The thing to keep in mind for circuit design is that the patents EXPIRE. So they have to keep coming up with hnew circuits that essentially do the same thing — not necessarily better, just DIFFERENT enough to keep a company’s patent portfolio fresh.
ok, like I said, QUOTE from it. Are you taking issue with the 21, 38 or 71 Watts of Excess Heat?
“ok, like I said, QUOTE from it. Are you taking issue with the 21, 38 or 71 Watts of Excess Heat?”
305 watts in, 295 watts out! Net loss!
And there’s one now...
THAT was for the calibration run, dumbass.
“THAT was for the calibration run, dumbass.”
Nope. That is the red line ... ‘with active materials’.
I am trying to establish the SCIENCE behind BLM’s smokescreen of propaganda. If it hasn’t been replicated, it isn’t science.
As to the rest of your snark....stick it!
Some of the associated project concepts could stand alone with a bit more development. Mark Nansteel’s contributions to the power conversion concept of radiant energy directly to electricity stands within this list.
Given that the engineering simulation could be made to work within the current or near future practical material limitations, at the very least the military would be extremely interested in a one-half megawatt electric conversion device the size of a soda can.

ok
I see where you’re going with this, and I stepped into your spider trap. I wthdraw the ‘dumbass ‘ comment.
I am heartened to know that you accept the data because the other 2 excess heat points on the graph are inexplicable with modern chemistry. If you accept that one point on the graph then you are intellectually obligated to accept others.
The solution to commercialization is then obvious: don’t use 305 Watts input, use the lower inputs and then stack the devices.
Ever since the late 70s, I thought there was a lot of potential for MagnetoHydroDynamics. No one else I knew had ever heard of it until the movie Red October came out.
“The solution to commercialization is then obvious: don’t use 305 Watts input, use the lower inputs and then stack the devices.”
Is water used as the ‘coolant’?
What temperature?
How big is the unit?
Fascinating video, almost directly lining up with what my friend the Chief Architect/ersatz Harvard Physicist said.
I didn’t finish it. He talks slow, I’m gonna try to find a way to speed it up.
“If you accept that one point on the graph then you are intellectually obligated to accept others.”
Nope. Just saying the graph doesn’t support commercialization.
