[Vo]:Thermacore and the missing link to the Kervran effect
Jones Beene Tue, 13 Jul 2021 10:53:22 -0700
A neglected paper and fringe theory, which may stand up to closer scrutiny,
appeared last year from Romania. It addresses the Kervran effect and the Mills
hydrino with a vortex model somewhat reminiscent of the recent “Berry”
superconductor theory.

The Kervran effect has an overlooked connection to one of the most convincing
experiments ever in LENR, involving the company Thermacore, Inc ... and their
work with Randell Mills plus the eventual patent nearly 30 years ago. The
important paper from that era has been removed from the BLP site: Thermacore,
Inc. “Final Report, SBIR Phase I, Nascent Hydrogen: An Energy Source.”
The Thermacore Patent, now expired, is 5,273,635 from 1993 Inventors: Gernert,
Shaubach, and Ernst Note: Randell Mills is NOT listed as co-inventor. Nor did
they mention the Kervran effect, but the did document a characteristic emission
line at 54.4 eV which Mills predicted. There was no radioactivity. One wonders
in hindsight if they would have found calcium after the year long run, should
they have looked.
Another missed opportunity?Consider this quote from Thermacore: “Light water
electrolytic experiments at Thermacore show positive results. The most
outstanding example is a cell producing 41 watts of heat with only 5 watts of
electrical input. The cell has operated continuously for over one year...” That
is a COP of 8, claimed by experts.
It bears repeating: THE CELL OPERATED CONTINUOUSLY FOR OVER ONE YEAR, and
remember, this statement is not coming from some fly-by-night self-promoting
entrepreneur, nor even university professors who are ignorant of manufacturing
realities - but instead it comes from one of the most well-respected of
high-tech firms in the World, in thermal engineering. This is the firm which
invented the heat-pipe and other related devices.
Yet it all came to naught. Go figure.

The issue isn’t whether we allow skepticism, it is whether we allow hyperskeptics and skeptopaths to ruin the scientific dialog. Civil discussion of the involved science is desired.
