Finally! Independent Testing Of Rossi's E-Cat Cold Fusion Device. Success?

[TinselKoala]

At a thousand dollars per cubic inch, I am afraid that Gadolinium qualifies as "big science" and thus is safe from my "credibility"... which, by the way, is just fine as far as I can determine. The things I say work, work as I say they do, and the things I say don't work, don't. Feel free to prove me wrong.... it may help _your_ credibility, profitis, if you can.

However, if someone wants to send me a 25mm piece of 1/2 inch diameter Gadolinium rod, I'd be happy to wind a coil or two on it, equip it with a thermocouple, and test it however anyone suggests. I didn't know that the Curie point of Gadolinium was so low.

By the way fwiw, I won a Science Fair competition in the eighth grade with my construction of a Tesla thermomagnetic motor from his patent, making use of the Curie point transition in a Canadian 5-cent piece, which at that time was actually made from mostly nickel.

..... so what you guys want to do is  ........

.... this is really what you guys should be focused on .....

@profits:

O.k., I am probably a member of "you guys", because I like to build strange electronic things (with very little success).

But you, Profits, why are you not "you guys"? Are you distancing yourself from your own theory? In case you believe what you say, you should also "want to do ..." and "be focused on ..." the same thing?

@conrad yes im throwing this to you guys meaning electrical engineers/boffs etc which im not,i wouldnt know what to buy to pulse current nor to rectify it nor measure it nor build the sofisticated circuitry required but i see you guys have been doing this for years.my expertise is more chemistry/physics and ive built a handful of my own overunity batteries so im well aquainted with the thermodynamics laws which govern all energy exchange in all systems.im just amazed that you guys havent been focusing on the most fundamental principal of your circuits i.e. the thermodynamics,the exchanges of energy that takes place between your circuits and the environment because that is where the key lies,in the paramagnetic core.the exchange of energy between your battery and the environment is going to centre in and around the core.im not saying that iron is not going to give an overunity effect im just saying that if it isnt its time to go deeper into the thermodynamics at play here,the changes that are happening in the core is paramount to a success here.

@tk apologies,'credibility'was the wrong word,status would be a better word no? Ive already thrown the gadolinium proposal to someone privately and they said they'd get back to me with the result but they didnt and when i recently asked for an answer they evaded the subject like as though i was   asking for their kidneys so there may be something to it.im thinking that rather than let them profit from it let me open source it.testing cores made of pure nickel or mintage nickel might yield good results yes because of its lower curie point relative to iron.im giving you free useful info here tk,get off your couch and go steal gadolinium from the local university,or bribe the chem store cleaner,or just ask them nicely:-)

I looked into the Steven J. Smith story:

http://www.whale.to/b/smith_sj_h.html  (a page with many links to writings of Mr. Smith)

Profits seems to talk about this:

The Physics of Free Energy, or Over-unity generators
Entropy - An Expanded Explanation. The over-unity generator by Steven J. Smith, http://www.whale.to/b/entropy.html (no generator, just words)

The fine art of demonology
Magneto Thermodynamics, Part 1 The fine art of demonology by Steven J. Smith, http://www.whale.to/b/magneto_thermodynamics1.html
Magneto Thermodynamics, Part 2 The fine art of demonology by Steven J. Smith, http://www.whale.to/b/mt__part_2.html
Magneto Thermodynamics, Part 3 The fine art of demonology  by Steven J. Smith, http://www.whale.to/b/magneto_thermodynamics3.html

It is always unfair to summarise, but for me this Mr. Smith did too much writing and too little device building. We have millions of words and no working device. That is the familiar picture when dealing with OU claims.

The properties of Gadolinium are interesting, but to see OU is a bold step which needs more than words to be substantiated.

May be I am too simple minded, but I believe in experiments and devices and words are just words. The writings of Mr. Smith are theories based on conjecture.
