Lugano resistance drop re-visited

on .

Could the drop in apparent resistance of the reactor heater element in the Lugano report be in part due to the core ceramic conducting at high temperature and partial shorting between the 3 phases?

There have been burn outs, core breaches, melted heater wire, hot spots and arcing thermocouples over the months.

Alan Goldwater deduced there was a drop in resistance in the ultra pure Al203 Coorstek cores we were using.

Additionally, SiO2 based ceramics resulted in plain shorts causing loss of thermocouples.

More recently, Adriano Bassignana made us aware of the Nernst Lamp

Of course, most replicators reactors to date have been single phase. So the differential between two adjacent coil loops where ceramic conductivity has increased would be lower than that between a parallel, helically wound, 3 phase coil.

@Charlie

Closing the loop would do it too. i.e. all control and stimulation power harnessed from output to run reactor for beyond chemical possibility.

Or long time ssm

@Tom

This is the kind of Discussion that Bob Higgins and I had.

This and the wrong use of Emissivity means that for me, it all comes down to seeing statistically significant transmutations.

@Glowfish:

You will not perhaps think this relevant but:
3 phase makes it very easy to get an apparent COP=3 for free by inverting one of the input clamps on the power meter.

Without a proper power meter 3 phase makes input power measurement problematic.

The complexity makes errors in input power measurement, whether unintentional or deliberate, much more possible.

@robert greenyer after looking into inductors it appears you may need to open a whole new conversation on the matter. We may need someone in electronics to help. The reactor is essentially a inductor with a magnetizeable core which is the dual of a capacitor for electric the difference being it is a capacitor for magnetism blocking higher frequency ac allowing lower frequency dc to flow through in some cases, by setting up voltages and amperage inside of the core creating their own magnetic fields called eddy currents. Resisting the applied currents and voltages. these currents are probably what Rossi is tapping for direct electricit production but also goes back to me remembering a ground wire being connected maybe this bleeds off these eddy currents allowing the reaction to take place also could be bleeding off the electrons trying to conduct through the hot tube hard to say. The reaction itself may create it's own eddy currents but if there is already currents in place may not be able to co exist and therefore no reaction so you have to get rid of the applied currents (ie) the ground path. To much Wikipedia can anyone help with that

@ glowfish maybe phase angle, possibly inductance properties associated with the opposite coils and hot conductive tube, or having the three coils may act as a barrier for conductance of the hot tube some how saving the coils from destruction. hard to say really not enough info on it from rossi . but all I know is no one has tried it yet that I know of and I would personaly like to see it in action. just to call it a real replication of course. it would be nice to see a bare tube wraped with the three phase coils in a why configuration and recorded and then rewired for delta and recorded using exact same settings on power and length of time to compare something simple

A question. Why use three phase? Other than a little less energy ripple to the heater (which is not that relevant as the heater should have a long thermal constant) and perhaps a higher power source, what advantage do you gain for the price all that extra complexity?

@All

Nick Oseyko said

"I had tried heating mullite pipe with torch back in May. Becomes very conductive before melting. 1 cm gap was about 100 ohms."

Given that there was barely more than a few millimetres between phases in the Lugano reactor, and a large potential difference between them, this effect cannot be dismissed easily.

is the issue with conductivity at high temps the reason Lugano used the cameras instead of thermocouples ? And what would happen if you put a reactor inside of a microwave oven? you couldn't really monitor to much but may be able to look for periods of ssm rather quickly just with ir gun and a stop watch after of course you find out if it is possible to get to those temps with a microwave. I personally am looking for ssm for evidence more than anything else as that would put a final nail in it. A microwave oven would supply lots of varying voltages and magnetic fields inside the core i think so anyways I have tried the lightbulb in a cup of water on high and it flashes pretty good

PS - you won't find my comment on ECW since Frank Acland clearly considers it inflammatory and refuses to publish it, also he has permanently banned me from that site.

Which I don't mind, but it does make discussion there less informed than one would wish.
