The laws of physics and mathematics preclude the possibility of generating more than 3413 BTU/hr per kilowatt. The only exception is if heat is moved from one place to another in the process, for example, a heat pump. That's why the results of the tests were so bizarre. What I was doing was heating an object of a certain mass. When heating it with conventional means (or those used for the state-of-the-art at the time) the time required to heat the object ..... in this case to 200 degrees C. took many, many times longer when compared to the plasma configuration, using roughly the same amount of input power. I'll have to review the notes to get the actual numbers. I don't profess to understand what is going on, except for the facts that this occurs in a vacuum, under a partial pressure. Argon gas molecules are energized to an ionized (plasma) state within a confined space and are used to bombard the object, using a 400 - 500 volt DC potential difference. In some cases, I actually was able to begin to melt (actually evaporate or sublimate) the aluminum object in very short order, something that never occurred with the other means of heating. It's not dis-similar to a process called "sputtering", but you don't apply enough power to knock atoms of material off of the object (target). I am purposely leaving out a significant detail of the configuration, for selfish reasons. I read one scientific paper that talked about the same type of phenomena. The patent attorney found it and gave it to me to read. If I recall correctly, the author, in his summary (which is really all I could understand) acknowledged that he didn't have a clue either, other than it didn't appear to follow accepted thermodynamics laws and he (as others have done) theorized on a new state of matter. Not a gas, not a solid, not a liquid. All this occurred in 1983 or thereabouts. Eisboch Quite correct, this did occur in the early 80's. But two differences exist. This is much bigger and more depth to it. While I knew it was coming, the depth has surprised me big time. But that means more profit when it ends. The second difference, the wild card of this event, is the governments reaction delivering ever larger bailouts. This is scary. Not being an active investor in 1980 I am guessing, but did not interest rates go up above inflation and up to the high teens to stem debt? Is your average middle class Joe in North America so far in debt the government has screwed up with interest rates below market to a point of a larger collapse? Time will tell, but I suspect double digit borrowing rates before this recession ends. Gotta give you credit. You have a one track mind. Eisboch This melt down is all a result of your strange heating experiments. The new state of matter has jumped in to the finance field. |

"Wayne.B" wrote in message ... It's possible that you triggered an exothermic reaction of some sort in one of the materials. That would be a one time event, and excess heat production would stop once the reaction had run its course. Wayne, you may be very close. According to a physicist that I talked to and described the setup and results, he described a reaction, but it was not chemical or exothermic. Argon in it's natural state is inert, as is aluminum. The unknown is what the activity of ionized molecules, both neg and pos are in this setup. I have an idea, and it has to do with the details of the configuration. Basically, the electrons (supplied by the DC power supply) that ionize the gas molecules cannot escape and return readily to ground, so more and more molecules of gas are ionized per electron. At some point the negative ions themselves have enough density and velocity to do the ionization of more gas molecules themselves. The positive ions are what are crashing into the aluminum and doing the heating. Almost, but not quite, a self sustaining reaction. The results were repeatable and I never saw any indication that extending time resulted in any significant slowing of the heating. As mentioned, left to run, the aluminum would start to soften and sag. BTW ... the physicist also warned me to be careful. He said I was playing with something not fully understood. Eisboch |
