Rosemary Ainslie Quantum Magazine Circuit COP > 17 Claims

[TinselKoala]

It is amazing what one learns with a little study. Do you remember Ainslie talking about her physics "teachers", and mentioning Zukov, Feynman, Gell-Mann and Dyson?

Well, we remember "The Dancing Wu Li Masters" of Gary Zukov. Hardly a textbook but a good read, when accompanied by a good pipe and your favorite single malt.

And of course there is Murray Gell-Mann's "The Quark and the Jaguar" and "The Eightfold Way", popular semi-autobiographical works which are far from being textbooks.

But what about Dyson? When we hear of Dyson, I at least think of Freeman Dyson the great physicist and futurist, author of many popular science works and articles. But wait... it turns out that Ainslie means another Dyson:

Rosemary Ainslie has been working on the idea since 1999, after reading The Dancing Wu li Masters by Gary Zukov and Conceptual Physics by Sam Dyson.

(from the PESN article compiled by her collaborator Evan Robinson).

Sam Dyson... Conceptual Physics. Sounds like a great title for a textbook. But wait... following the link given in the PESN article, so we know it's the right one....

It turns out this is not a textbook at all! It is a two page article, in an issue (a 2001 issue!) of a journal aimed at high school physics teachers.... because that is what Sam Dyson is: A High School Physics Teacher!

Abstract:

Student preconceptions have the power to greatly affect their expectations and learning in science. This article explores the effects of one teacher's preconceptions about the nature of what is commonly called ``conceptual physics'' and some pedagogical pitfalls of those preconceptions.

Ironic, what? You cannot make this stuff up, Truth is both funnier and more tragic than any fiction. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being a high school physics teacher.... but having read a two page article by one, and then citing it as a major chunk of one's physics education, is a Little ironic, isn't it, especially considering the subject matter. A strong set of preconceptions is indeed preventing Ainslie from learning anything of value about physics, electronics and "her" circuit in particular.

I wonder which Feynman she is referring to. Richard Feynman, the great physicist of QED fame.... or Lenny Feynman, the author of "Physics in the Broom Closet", a guide for janitorial supply salesmen?

What do you suppose Rosemary Ainslie is trying to do?

Shouldn't she be studying up, practising, rehearsing for the next Quantum-17 "demonstration", correcting her errors, retracting the false statements she keeps on making?

No, I suppose that's not nearly as much fun as trolling and insulting people for no reason, accusing them falsely and never providing a jot or tittle of evidence for any of it.

While she is insulting people gratuitously, I am working. I have waveforms, I have a digital oscilloscope, I have numbers in boxes. I have copies of all the articles, revisions, submissions, letters of rejection and letters of scope withdrawal. I have names. I have calibration traceable to NIST standards. I have loads and I have 555 timers: the Quantum magazine circuit, the Demo Kit 1 circuit, Glen's circuit.... I have a fast risetime (by 1978 standards) pulse generator, I have analog scopes, I have IRFPG50 and IRFP450 mosfets among others. I have the ability to record long data sequences. I am using reasonably-sized batteries.

I HAVE THE SECRET OF DPDT which has now been "open-sourced".

I have made videos chronicling the story, and I have even exerpted Ainslie's demonstration videos and photographs and other data for easy consumption. Not only that, but I understand the circuit and I have, over the past three days, read all of the old 2009-2010 archived threads on four different forums (Naked Scientists, Energetic, OUR, and this forum) and reviewed Ainslie's blogging posts from that time period.
In short.... DO THE MATH (tm Rosemary Ainslie). I am fully prepared to "replicate" any performance that Ainsie's "team" can present and I am able to analyze the data properly.  Somewhere lurking in the background are much more experienced and knowledgeable people, some of whom Ainslie has already insulted gravely, who may pitch in and help me out and keep me straight myself.

And I'm ready to do it NOW.

In fact I'm uploading an unusually long video, about 17 minutes long, illustrating the Secret of DPDT and my basic apparatus layout, including some capacitor charging with the circuit. It probably will take a couple of hours to upload. Check back here for the URL.

Geeze, now she is bashing Stefan Hartman.  What the heck did he ever do to Rose?  This is a real mind bender.  I would like to see the list of folks that Rose has NOT bashed.  I am sure it is a very short list and getting shorter every day.

I may offer T-shirts on my website that say: "I got bashed from Little Miss Mosfet".  Evidently, my target market is a huge one and growing every day.  I could sell thousands.  Given enough time, she will alienate every person on the planet.  Even then she will still insist that she is right, and everyone else is wrong.

Thanks to SWeir for some constructive discussion that enabled the Secret to be revealed.
