You are the Master of Hubris, Kenny.

Provide some thermocouple measurements of the bismuth. You will not. Run a LTD Stirling engine on the "heat" from the bismuth -- many are commercially available that will easily run on 5 degrees C differential. You cannot. Use your thermal imager to look at a shiny steel ball bearing from the same angle as you are imaging the bismuth sphere under the same conditions. You will not.  In short, you will only present _demonstrations_ that you can claim will support your silly theories, you will never perform true experiments that have the potential to falsify them.

Bismuth a dielectric? I laugh at you. Make a capacitor with bismuth between the plates, in full contact, and show it holding a charge. You cannot.

You provide this forum with endless amusement, Kenny baby. Rant and insult all you like, you are not a teacher, you are not a scientist, you are just a boastful plagiarist without any integrity at all.

And everybody knows and has known for a long long time that there is gold in seawater... a tiny amount by weight, not economical to bother with extracting. An "enormous amount"? Sure, per ocean. Per liter... not so enormous.

QuoteEach liter of seawater contains, on average, about 13 billionths of a gram of gold.

Wheee hooo... we are all gonna get rich!!

its bismuth and a magnet.


Get off your lazy worthless fucking ass and do the experiment yourself.



just a keyboard jockey and lip flapping asshat like your brethren.

Thermoelectric Power of Single Crystal Bismuth Near the Melting Point

By investigating directly the thermoelectric power of bismuth single crystals near the melting point a transition region is found in which the thermoelectric power changes gradually from that characteristic of the solid to that characteristic of the final liquid state. The region extends from the melting point to about 8° above it. As an explanation it is supposed that a definite crystal structure persists into the liquid state.

The Electrical Conductivity and Thermoelectric Power of Bismuth Telluride


The electrical conductivity and thermoelectric power of the semiconductor Bi2Te3 have been measured between 150°K and 300°K. n-type and p-type samples with a wide range of carrier concentration have been included. Most samples have shown extrinsic conduction and have been partially degenerate over at least part of the temperature range, so it has been necessary to use Fermi-Dirac statistics in interpreting the results. A few samples have exhibited mixed and intrinsic conduction at the higher temperatures. It has been possible to determine the variation of carrier mobility with temperature and to estimate the energy dependence of the relaxation time, as well as a number of the semiconductor parameters.




Thermoelectric materials on the basis of bismuth telluride Bi2Te3

The bismuth telluride Bi2Te3 compound is a semiconductor material, possessing likewise р- and n – conductivity.


Moreover, bismuth telluride crystals bear a remarkable quality. If, being prepared in a certain way semiconductor Bi2Te3 crystals (they are also called «pellets») of the n- and р-types of conductivity are alternatively joined sequentially with each other by metal conductors, and this «package» is placed between two thermally conductive ceramic plates, then you get a device which is called the thermoelectric cooling module (TCM). When transmitting the direct electric current through the thermoelectric module the upper junctions of the «pellets» will become cool, while the lower – get warmer. As a result one ceramic plate is cooling the environment, while the opposite plate is the source of heating. But if the direct current is transmitted through the same device in the opposite direction,  then the «hot» and «cold» sides shall change places.
Thermoelectric modules are used for the production of electricity through the direct transformation of heat into electricity. Electricity is produced, when heating the thermoelectric module connected to the electric circuit. The thermoelectric generating modules (TGMs) possess this property.
The unification of one or several TE modules and two heat exchangers of an aerial or liquid type, which are attached to the hot and cold sides of the modules into basic thermoelectric blocks (BTBs), allows to build a thermoelectric system of a given capacity.
Quality control of thermoelectric materials

The Hartman's method of measuring thermoelectric parameters is used in order to control the quality of thermoelectric materials. When using this method to obtain precise calculations of the characteristics of thermoelectric efficiency it is necessary to apply corrections that are related to the thermal conduction of the lead and sound wires, with the thermal emission from the sample and wires, and also with the Joules heat, emitted in the lead wires.
So far, when calculating the thermoelectric efficiency the registration of the corrections was not based on the solution of the task of thermal conduction in the system: «The sample – lead wires». The specialists of the «ADV-Engineering»  LLC solved this problem in a one-dimensional approximation and on this basis worked out a method of a more correct way of measuring the thermoelectric efficiency of the sample.



keep laughing moron. Youve got nothing.


You're fucked,       ......    and refuted. 

None of your references support your claim that Bismuth is a dielectric. In fact they directly contradict the claim.

And isn't it funny how you cite references like that, when you deny the existence of the electron? No, it's not funny at all, since we already know that you are a hypocrite, ignorant beyond measure and don't even understand the references you cut-and-paste from.

Keep it up, Kenny baby. Those who know their topic are laughing in their beards, O Tattooed Genius.

QED: you will not do any of the experiments I suggested... because you KNOW THEY WILL PROVE YOU WRONG.
