Cold fusion and over-unity are not possible in my opinion.
But the way in which cold fusion has been sidelined by the mainstream scientific community (following the infamous publication of Fleishman's team whose results could not be replicated) is interesting. Peer reviewed journals decline...
Thanks Russ. I am sure are correct about that. in truth I find the second law counter-intuitive, but I accept it applies in all cases.
I have had recurring delusions of high efficiency. But at the same time I know nature will always find a way to maximise output in the way you have said...
Being more precise about equilibrium, why not call it E=mc2, where the energy in the photon maintains a perfect state of equilibrium with its mass x C x C. That would be a tiny mass and a lot of energy.
By equilibrium, I mean matter and energy within the photon maintaining a state of balance relative to one another, such that the photons mass cannot exceed for example a Planck unit.
If the mass of the photon were too high, that would prevent the photon from traveling at light speed.
So I...
Is it possible to freeze light? What does frozen light 'look like'?
Are photons examples of mass and energy in perfect equilibrium?
Do processes take place within photons to maintain a perfect balance between mass and energy, and if so what are those processes and how do they relate to...
I don't think I am disagreeing with you. I did not assert gravity is path dependent.
What I am suggesting is that it is a path dependent 'system' in terms of energy expenditure when it comes to doing the work required to recirculate the water.
There are several ways of recirculating water...
It is important to distinguish between conditions of state and path dependent conditions.
The work required to lift 1000kg of water per second upwards 25m will for these purposes be the same.
But the actual energy cost of carrying out that work is path dependant and therefore variable. The...
So far as I know, Tesla invented this turbine for use with exhaust gases.
So yes it should work well provided the discs are made of good quality materials that don't warp. The practical problem may be warped discs that wobble badly at high RPM and cause the turbine to fall apart.
The...
I have found a way to minimise the work needed to recirculate the fluid. That's all.
At best it is a more efficient energy conversion system. But you still have to spend more than you get out (when total energy is taken into account).
If perpetual motion had been an apparent consequence, I...
I agree no such system can be 'self powering'. That would be tantamount to perpetual motion.
On the contrary, it is an energy converter. It uses energy from outside the system boundary to circulate fluid striking a turbine.
Massive amounts of energy (up to 5 times the turbine output) would...
I think it is possible to design a machine capable of generating useful electricity using recirculated fluid flow. But the laws of thermodynamics make it very difficult.
The three laws of thermodynamics can be summarized by saying: "You can break even but only at absolute zero".
So we know...
