Single circuits generate nuclear reactions

@R

Don't worry about it, these things happen.  This does not change the fact that we have an effect.

No, my failed experiment caused me to realize a few other things, so in failing, I found information I would not have found had I succeeded in extracting 900000000 Megawatts from a 9V battery.

Ha.

Also, I found that it would be really nice if my research associate would ANSWER YOUR DAMNED PHONE.

Cheers!

What we need ideally now is replications of the basic effect to confirm we are getting beta, tried WITH and WITHOUT the biasing magnet, at some decent level of voltage and current.  We also need to see peoples meter readings around the device.

Beware.

Gamma scout is flawed.

Will be performing some tests soon to see if geigers are in fact influenced by the EMI from our specific setup.

When you do your tests, you need to replace the carbon rod with a copper conductor, no magnets.

Run your setup.

Full bore.

If you get blips, then put on the magnet, and see if you get more blips.

If so, then you have made a variable reluctance transformer.

If not, then your counter is sufficiently shielded to ignore the EMI from your power supply.

Also, box up your damned power supply too... and ground the box.


Once you eliminate, systematically, all possible spurious emissions, then we can claim true effect.

I am not certain at this point how the EMI from Fester's PSU would have kicked the meter like it was going - also, why we would have seen such a limited amount without magnets... but this is still a possibility that we are not excluding.


Continued experiments and diligent investigation and attention to detail.

Mybest,

I might add that the information on EMI for the gamma scout came from a telephone conversation we had today with the manufacturer's technical division...

Anyway, what we really need now is figuring out just what exactly is going on in these devices.  Is this beta?  How much?  Or Is it EMI?  If so, did both fester and Naudin get this EMI? What spectrum are we talking?  Radio? Microwave?  Is Juan for real? Is he seeing EMI rather than beta?    Not matter what, we have determined K-capture is certainly real, and so is our theoretical reaction which produces anti-neutrinos.

There is a solid theoretical foundation for what we think we are getting.
But have we actually achieved K-capture in the carbon rod ?
Is it possible the self-running effect some sort of artifact? 
Or are we generating what we hope... truckloads of beta rays which must be captured better?

What in sam's hell is going on here.  At this point we need to answer these basic questions as quickly as possible, so we know whether to replicate like crazy and build these things like cupcakes, or whether we can confirm some sort of freak EMI artifact:  I do find this unlikely, but unfortunately , given the information from gamma scout, EMI is now is within the realm of possiblitity.

I bet 3:1 we are producing excess beta.
R bets 9:1 we are producing excess beta.

Here is a conversation per R for your viewing enjoyment
R:
[fester] was getting funky 40-60 hertz 1.5KV spikes
the beta should have oscillated with those if it was emi induced
but if you're already saturating the meter with beta...
but if the meter is already roasted by all this shit
then you've got a meter that can't oscillate
there's no way the EMI could have saturated it, since the total deposited power would have been unity
he would have gotten loud clicks at 50 hertz-ish
not white noise at billions of terahertz
