It’s a gas, man!

Paul D. Spudis, The Once and Future Moon


We really do need to take a closer look at the Moon.

Update:

I think this will be the last post of the day.  Thanks for coming by, I appreciate your support.  Tomorrow, I may have something to say about Wingo's book.  I have some more thoughts about the E-cat, too.

Update: Had to include this one

Better graph showing net energy from E-cat test of Oct. 6, 2011

Peswiki

You can see that the area under the curve for the "Potenza OUT"  ( output power) is greater than the area under the "Potenza Resistore" ( power resistor, input power to run the heater)  Or input power vs output power.  Time shift it toward the right and the whole curve will fit under the output curve.

Update:
This video shows the apparatus in detail. It is now on YouTube. I saw this on Ny Teknik already, but it is also handy on YouTube now.

Basically, you can see where and how the delta t's were obtained for the graph above. Delta t, or change in temperature, is one of the data points needed to calculate the power. The other is the water flow, also shown as 600 liters per hr.

Just saw this on Peswiki

Frontier - Prelude To Darkness: Chapter 1

That name seemed familiar: Lewis Roscoe, who was interviewed by Tbone Pearson.  Tbone's creations include Spellfury.

Limits to Growth-- Why?

This mode of thinking is what influences so much of what is going on today.  There are those who don't believe technology can solve our problems, so they aren't very interested in new technology, such as cold fusion.  Nor in space colonization.  Yet, it is these very things that may solve our problems, if we can break free from the shackles of this limiting mindset.

That's the focus of the book I am reading now.  It is written by Dennis Wingo and it is called "Moonrush".  It corresponds in spirit with Jerry Pournelle wrote about in his book, mentioned here.

All of this that I write about has a purpose.  You cannot do much good if you have no purpose to what you are doing.  The purpose here is to get people to change the way they think.  We can solve our problems.  The solutions are there.  We need only to reach out for them.

Photo on Facebook shows net energy production from E-cat test of 10/6/11

This corresponds well with what I posted yesterday. A glance at this input v output graph shows that the energy produced is greater than the energy consumed.

Power output exceeds power input = net power gain  click on the link to the left in order to see it on Facebook
Note: I use the term energy, the chart uses the term power.  It is only a slight semantic difference.  Words mean things, if you want to get hyper technical about it, but it doesn't change the conclusion.

Update:

I liked the Facebook page.  I suggest that you go there and like it too.  Look, the media won't cover this, so it is up to YOU to pass the word around.  Mention it to your Facebook friends.  Pass the word around.
