  1. The quality of post is based on the moderators and administrators and resident experts` selections.

    No. Everybody can vote yea/nay.

     

    So, I think, if given a chance of tolerance, I will urge the moderators, administrators and resident experts to be the only group that can have the choice to vote, not simply give chances to culprits and those who tend to avenge others` comment, suggestion and explanation.

    That's against democracy. You want to create privileged group.

    Who is to decide who is expert and who is not?

    Resident experts were normal users couple years ago.

     

    ps. What disgust me is giving positive votes for banning somebody, suspending somebody, which is notorious in http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/29763-bannedsuspended-users/page-17#entry809457

    Positive votes should be result of valuable knowledge..

  2. It's calling itself with post method... And changing behavior depending on HTTP request method - GET is showing website like normal, POST - doing search..

     

    Do you know how to create post request?

    Check this

    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5647461/how-do-i-send-a-post-request-with-php

     

    You will need to analyze the all post variables it's sending (use some packet traffic viewer f.e. good firewall), and then prepare such request by yourself.

     

    Better make experiments with your own server, your own website that's using form post method, to see what you will need to do to mimics web browser sending such request.

    If you won't fool your own code, you won't do it with 3rd party website either.


    BTW, they are updating database often - if you will duplicate their db somehow on your own disk, you won't know about updates anymore..

    You potentially risk loosing some valuable data.

  3. How are you going to generate the volumes of ozone required?

     

    How are you going to pay for the equipment and energy required to generate the ozone?

     

    And, especially, how are you going to get it into the upper atmosphere?

     

    Whenever I am turning on my Cockcroft-Walton high voltage 40 kV generator I am producing ozone that's immediately detectable (by smelt).

    Especially when there is coronal discharge.

    The same happens during storm thunderbolt.

     

    So, we would need a lot of durable balloons filled by Hydrogen which have solar panels (might be whole surface of balloon?) and turning Sun photons energy to high voltage, and producing ozone for years.

    They would be already in atmosphere, and using natural source of energy, so problems of transportation and electricity costs wouldn't exist.

     

    Production section of

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozone

     

    "Corona discharge method

     

    This is the most common type of ozone generator for most industrial and personal uses. While variations of the "hot spark" coronal discharge method of ozone production exist, including medical grade and industrial grade ozone generators, these units usually work by means of a corona discharge tube."

     

    Investors are looking for a return on their investment. So who pays the private investor for this work?

     

    Which 75% of current government spending are you going to abandon in order to pay for this?

     

    That's whole problem - humans won't do anything if nobody will pay them to do it.

    That must be changed.

    People need to do what is good for all of them, not what is good only for their own wallets.

     

    This reminds me Marie Curie-Sklodowska, who gave procedure of production of Radium for free.

    And then couldn't afford to buy Uranium ores anymore, after everybody started using it, and price increased to ridiculous high levels.

  4. Show website url that you want to get data from.


    The websites I am working with are extremely secure and they don't change the url for any search. On top of that, when I check the host it shows that the website that we use on the front end is actually an alias. So when I go to the real url, that url doesn't change either. I just tried to host the server again and it's failing at the moment.

     

    It might be hidden by using frames, iframes, ajax, or using $_POST[] instead of $_GET[].

    Sending post args is harder but not impossible.

  5. Tim the plumber already told you Google Earth works great. I have no idea what you mean by rounding and simplifying results. Locations are fairly exact.

     

    The planet has a grid on it of our design. North and south positions and East/West positions. Any globe/Atlas/ or map with these lines should also work

     

    He wants to automate this process..

     

    There are online webpages can do so but the number of coordinates are huge so I can’t do them one by one manually.

     

    How these websites are receiving data?

    If they're send in URL (like index.php?long=123&lat=45), it should be possible to write script and run it.

    Do you know how to write script or program C/C++?

     

    I have spend whole day writing such script that downloaded data for me for >3000 entries of data

  6. Nickel is the fifth most common element we know of. Supply is not an issue.

     

    Nickel or Iron that are in Earth's Core are not available for us.

     

    In crust it's 24.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abundance_of_elements_in_Earth%27s_crust

     

    Production of Nickel is 2.1 mln tonnes per year.

    That's 2% of Iron production per year.

    Here is NASA video on how they are handling that question.. plz watch this link.

     

    That guy is talking about the same as I said in post #24. "The key is a way of production of neutrons". He needs neutrons to bombard Nickel to start reaction..

    If nickel isotopes are the key

    * start with highly enriched nickel 62

    * get a cheap source of neutrons at 10^14 neutrons per second

    * get a lot of nickel 63 and then have an environment that accelerates decay to copper

     

    Bombarding some isotope by neutrons is normal mainstream physics.

    It works at room temperature.

    Decay of Ni-63 produces very little energy, just 67 kev.

    Ni-63 → Cu-63 + e- + Ve + 67 keV

  7. Photons are described by their properties: energy, momentum, frequency, wavelength.

    They are all depending on another.

     

    frequency = c/wavelength

    so

    wavelength = c/frequency

     

    (h- Planck constant)

    E=h*frequency

     

    E=h*c/wavelength

     

    p=E/c

     

    E=p*c

     

    Yet another is photon polarization.


    As far as vision is concerned and photo receptors within the human eye's anatomy goes..

    Does your same comment apply to what we see???

     

    If we see light, photon has been absorbed by our eye receptors.

    It disappeared from environment.

     

    If photon is absorbed by some material it can't be absorbed by other.

    Material is heated, accelerated, or other way storing additional energy that photon gave it.


    I guess a good question would be then, is white light black???

     

    Black color is lack of photons in visible spectrum (wavelengths between 380 nm to 700 nm). However they can be in other range. f.e. infra red.

    White color is photons with at least red, green and blue visible spectrum.

     

    Television, monitors use three diodes RGB. If they have equal power, our eye see mixture of them, white color.

     

    See Newton's Color Wheel

    http://www.scitechantiques.com/newtons-color-wheel/

  8. Show website url that you want to get data from.

     

    I have been scanning many websites for data.

    And the most appropriate solution always depends on website structure. The easiest are f.e. http://website/[article number].html just make for() loop.

    Many times there is no need to look for direct links to know where are data.

    Google crawlers can't be adjusted to every website on the world, simply too many websites.

    So search engine bots must rely on links. Proprietary tool not necessarily.

     

    Today I will be gathering data from wikipedia.

    I have database of names of elements.

    Script will be downloading pages

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_[name of element from mine database]

    and then searching for data in them (isotopes data) such as protons, neutrons, mass etc.

    and writing this to CSV.

  9. rand() function will give you always the same results each time program is run, if you dont use srand().

     

    You should use srand(time(NULL)); before the first execution.

     

    Two rand() in row

    print rand();

    print rand();

    will always give the same value of second rand().

     

    Malus was living in XVIII-XIX century, when there was no QM yet.

    If you would have linear polarized photons, and correctly adjusted polarization filter, you would see 100% of photons passing through. And 0% passing through after rotating polarization filter by 90 degree.

     

    I have made photos and showed in this thread:

  10. @ Sensei,

     

     

    When speaking of LENR we normally mean the most powerful mixtures which at this point looks like Nickel and Hydrogen which is the Piantelli method adopted by Rossi.

     

    I enjoy reading your posts. interesting questions you bring up.

    How do you know that Nickel and Hydrogen are the most powerful?

     

    Searching for all possibilities by hand would take a lot of time.

    There is 118 elements to check. Some have dozen of isotopes.

    That's plenty of work.

    Have you done so?

     

    Anyway I have already did theoretical calculations with Nickel and Hydrogen and posted in #24

    http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/83658-low-energy-nuclear-reactions-cold-fusion-thread-split/page-2#entry810423

    Where I showed that reaction that Rossi is using, can have also more mainstream physics explanation.

    If Ni-62 is hit by neutron, it's changing to Ni-63 (and releasing energy). Ni-63 is unstable and is decaying to Cu-63 (and releasing energy).

    And we don't have Coulomb's Barrier in this reaction to worry about.

    And that's why perhaps Rossi device requires a lot of input energy.

    Output is higher because of decay energy is higher than energy needed to create neutron.

     

    Also what is important is that Ni-62 has just 3.63% abundance in nature!

    If you will buy 1 kg Nickel in the shop for $13, just 36.3 grams of it will be good for this reaction.

     

    Does Rossi clean up raw Nickel to clean isotope or not?

     

    That's important question that I asked already and was ignored by all of you..

     

    This thread has brought a few new faces. Fun to see.

     

    Sockpuppets?

  11. IF THE GAMMA RAY IS ABSORBED AND NO LONGER EXISTS THEN IT CAN NO LONGER BE MEASURED BECAUSE IT WOULD NO LONGER EXIST.

     

    From what Swansont said it was clear that he meant that no 100% gamma photons can be absorbed, and some will have to escape device, and being detected around it. No shield, no filter has perfect accuracy.

     

    Anyway, during performing official Rossi device tests, according to article on his website, there was no used device capable to detect any radiation..

    They mention just IR camera, and power analyzer.

     

    i suspect that he say that because he knows that tritium is observed,

     

    Lack of neutrons and detected existence of tritium (that was not there in water before) are quite contradictions..

     

    p+ + n0 -> D+ + 2.22 MeV

    D+ + n0 -> T+ + 6.26 MeV

    T+ -> He-3 + e- + Ve + 18.6 keV

     

    Researchers have detected rare instances of photons splitting in two.

     

    Experimental Investigation of High-Energy Photon Splitting in Atomic Fields

    http://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.89.061802

     

    Seeing double. Researchers have caught glimpses of a rare event in which a single photon splits in two. This calorimeter, which contains 400 kg of liquid krypton, detected the photon pairs.

     

    If a fat man walked into an empty room and then two skinny guys walked out, you might be perplexed. Now physicists have spotted the equivalent result in photons flying near an atom. A group publishing in the 5 August print issue of PRL has identified rare instances in which a single photon splits in two, dividing the original photon’s energy between them.

     

    Fundamental particles constantly and randomly morph into “virtual” particles. A photon, for example, can temporarily become an electron and positron which quickly annihilate one another to reform the original photon. In a vacuum the process has little effect, but the electric field of an atom can interact with electron-positron pairs to create theoretically measurable results, some of which have already been fingered

     

     

    That sounds like normal pair production, that is known since early years of XX century.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pair_production

  12. Cu-65 that absorbed neutron would decay through electron emission to Zn-66.

     

    Cu-63 + n0 -> Cu-64 + 7.916 MeV (quite plausible)

    Cu-64 -> Ni-64 + e+ + Ve (unstable isotope) 61%

    Cu-64 -> Zn-64 + e- + Ve (unstable isotope) 39%

     

    Cu-63 abundance is 69%

    Cu-65 abundance is 31%

     

    We don't need Rossi device to verify this. Just Nickel and Copper and beam of neutrons.

  13. People have tried this in copper, which according to Widom-Larsen, should turn into nickel. That seems like an easy thing to test. Put in pure copper, run the system, and see if you get nickel in your sample as a result. Because this is science, you can even predict how much nickel you should get, and see if your results match.

     

    Swansont, exactly reverse...

     

    According to Rossi:

    Ni-62 + p+ -> Cu-63 + 6.12 MeV

     

    I have checked it, from energy point of view, correct. So the only problem is repelling of proton with Nickel.

     

    Here are mine calculations:

     

    post-100882-0-89820400-1402504579.png

    post-100882-0-89820400-1402504579_thumb.png

     

    But Ni-62 has just 3.63% abundance.

     

    See last line:

     

    Ni-62 + n0 -> Ni-63 + 6.84 MeV (possible from energy point of view, and has no problem with repelling charges)

    But Ni-63 is unstable isotope.

    And will decay to.. Cu-63

    Ni-63 -> Cu-63 + e- + Ve

     

    So basically what Rossi takes as fusion with proton, might be multiple stages reaction, and possible in mainstream physics.

  14. You seem to at least keep current on your science, but these guys wanted to trash the LENR thread. No skin off my nose, I won't look like an idiot when they finally accept LENR here.

     

    Can nuclear reaction occur at room temperature?

     

    Yes, it can. It's well known.

     

    And it's used all the time by neutron detectors and neutrino detectors.

     

    Deuterium bombarded by free neutrons (from neutron decaying radioactive isotope) is changing to Tritium,

    and Tritium is decaying after a while to Helium-3 emitting electron and anti neutrino.

     

    Chlorine-37 that absorbed neutrino with energy higher than 0.814 MeV is changing to Argon-37 and emitting electron.

    Argon-37 is unstable isotope, and will capture electron, and will be back Chlorine-37.

    Annihilation of electron and positron will be detected by device.

     

    You're keeping saying LENR this, LENR that.

    IMHO you should always specify which reaction you have in mind.

    But this would require to have some real knowledge..

  15.  

    Real scientist (I mean not people who think that if they don't understand it does not exist) can prove heat is produced in a black box without needing to open a box. This is applied science.

     

    Metal piece can be heated from long distance many ways.

    I would not fully trust tests performed inside of company building.

    Especially if they would refuse moving it outside of building.

     

    In this test they're using two, just two, measuring devices, IR camera and Power analyzer..

    http://ecat.com/news/ecat-ht-validated-by-top-physicists

    C'mon!

    Where is Geiger counter?

    Where are shields protecting measured item from all sides against external radiation..?

    etc. etc.

     

    Note that there is no doubt that cold fusion is real not only because of the calorimetry, the isotopic analysis,

     

    What isotope is used in ecat?

     

    ps. How much does ecat company pays you.. ?

     

    ps2. Natural abundance of isotope used by ecat device is 3.63%. Does ecat company will take care of providing 100% clean isotope by them self.. ? Provide fuel to their device?

  16. It is really a crazy job for a 15-year-old to understand and study string theory. If I could do that, I would have break the world record. Anyway, I will try. Thanks for promoting enthusiasm for me to study string theory.

     

    You should concentrate on classical physics. When it will have no mysteries to you, learn Standard Model.

    Then you can go to unconfirmed theories. Without extensive knowledge you can't even judge if something is correct or incorrect. Plausible or not.

     

    Otherwise you're in kinda like position of somebody who is reading about calculus without knowing what is multiplication..

  17. For example, if Nicholas Kang now asks some question about string theory, let us say why 11d for a concrete example, I can explain to him why in general terms, but I would not expect him to go through the calculations again himself (you can find calculations in many string theory textbooks). So, many people have verified why 11d using related but slightly different arguments and so everyone is happy with this. But again, Nicholas Kang may not yet be in a position to understand the steps of the calculations, he cannot verify this for himself.

     

    I remember other thread on SFN where person interested in string theory asked what are all these 11 dimensions. And nobody, literally nobody, could answer...

    I don't think so he asked for precise math. Just simple explanation.

  18. we know pure water has density 1g/cm cubed

     

    But first you need to verify that water has 1 g/cm^3 ;)

    Take f.e. glassware with volume scale, put it on Weighing scale, reset settings, fill with water, read volume and mass. Calculate density of substance in g/cm^3.

     

    Some scientists did it with the all chemical elements, the all chemical substances ever produced.

    It was repeated over and over again during the last couple hundred years with better scales to receive more precise results.

     

    or maybe other sophisticated apparatus if possible.

     

    You can take a bit of substance, let's say 100 grams, measure it's volume, and then extrapolate to higher mass, higher volume.

     

    That's how you can calculate mass of Earth. Average density of Earth multiplied by volume = mass. Volume of Earth = 4/3*PI*radius of Earth^3

  19. You don't have to blindly believe what scientists say, but there should be some element of trust here. Not that I am sure it is relevant to the discussion here.

     

    If some scientists is publishing his/her discovery, other people (not just scientists) can check it and verify and confirm or contradict (perhaps showing where has been made mistakes).

    Trust is necessary only if somebody doesn't want to learn.

     

    If I say you 1 m^3 volume of water has mass 1 ton. You Nicholas, can believe me on word, or check it by yourself. Tell me how you would do such experiment.. ?

  20. wget doesn't preserve the search function. :unsure:

    I have no idea what search function you're talking about.

    Wget is simply downloading what you will tell to download..

     

    I don't know what to do. I have programs downloading the data, but if we could just get a snapshot of the entire webpage and every possible search for the day/week/month then I could really do something with that.

    You can generate your own HTML page with just links f.e.

     

    http://www.server.com/2014/01/01/

    http://www.server.com/2014/01/31/

    http://www.server.com/2014/12/01/

    http://www.server.com/2014/12/31/

     

    Then use wget on your own web page.

    And wget will find links, and download stuff they're pointing to.

     

    Or prepare script with many rows with "wget args [some url]"

    And execute dynamically created script.

     

    Personally I am using .NET Framework Net::WebClient::DownloadFile() or DownloadString().

    We can have list (f.e. 1000+) of proxy HTTP servers, and use them instead of our own IP address, so web server owner won't know that we're downloading large quantity of data. Each request will be from different proxy.
