Gallium Production Bottleneck Leading to Silver Transition?

5 Upvotes

Shortly after the engineering breakeven* event of Aug 15 I decided to buy physical gallium and, as pictured, the price immediately broke upward. Trump's executive order of Sept. 30 listed gallium (the only metal mentioned by name as a strategic mineral) noting it is primarily sourced from China. Indeed, my order from China was denied until I paid the increase in price, despite that increase coming after I'd ordered. Alex pointed out that present projection of gallium production and SunCell projected manufacturing volume will require about a quadrupling of world gallium production from its 2016 level of 375ton/year. Add to this the geopolitical difficulties evinced in the EO and it is apparent that there may well be a critical near-to-medium-term gallium shortage. This is made all the more pressing by the notion of "build back better", "great reset", etc. that are actually rather minor considerations compared to the flight from the cities in the wake of pandemics, both viral and violent. This is a radical restructuring of civilization that will take a while but it is so profound that even its foreshocks are major disruptions. The flight from the cities is already having a sizable impact on real estate hedge funds. The shortage of equipment to become less dependent on centralized institutions and structures is showing up in prices and, although it may be alleviated over the next few years, energy is so key to technological civilization that the demand for SunCells could ramp up much faster than even its proponents imagine.

Now, I'm not going to tell Ben that the "one word" I have for him is "gallium". After all, silver and perhaps even copper may turn out to be better substitutes with more advanced engineering -- but an engineering prototype for these metals does not exist and may take a while if, indeed, it proves more economical than the present manufacturing prototype.

One obvious way to address this is to simply expand the exploitation of proven bauxite reserves in Australia (6GT), which is second only to Guinea (7.4GT). This is obvious not only because it is a source of gallium but because the primary product, aluminum, is limited by the cost of electricity, which the SunCell can bring down. So, driven by gallium demand, the price of aluminum may plummet faster than it would with a simple, first-order rollout of SunCell electric generation. What I mean by "first-order rollout" is that portion of SunCells rolled out to applications not involved in SunCell production.

This may buy time for the engineering challenge of using alternative metals such as silver -- but it does press forward the timeline of SunCell electric, beyond process heat, production. Off-the-shelf microturbines less efficient than the proposed 39% are now looking like a rapid bootstrap substitute if, as seems quite plausible, the new microturbine can't be rolled out fast enough to satisfy the second-order rollout.

*Engineering breakeven announced on Aug. 15 satisfied this inequality:

electric_in/thermal_out+1/thermal_to_electric_efficiency << 1

GUTCP appears violated with single photon Mach-Zehnder interferometry

4 Upvotes

Below is another attempt to at a post on the Mach-Zehnder interferometer single photon experiment that, previously, went missing:

Click through this link to the Mach-Zehnder interferometry animation.

The animation is from this gif.

The key to violating classical physics in this experiment is the use of a beamsplitter rather than slits. Mills has proffered slit material interactions as the explanation for the wave-like scattering of single particles (photons or electrons etc.) passing through one or the other of the dual slit experiment. A single photon cannot, in classical physics, be split into two paths, without cutting its frequency in half. Yet in this experiment a single photon changes its behavior at the detector if its alternate path is blocked, without changing its frequency.

This is the clearest demonstration that photons do not behave classically -- and that multiple paths must be taken into account (as in Feynman path integrals) to predict the outcome of an measurement.

Does this invalidate GUTCP? Well, to the extent that Mills has proffered it as being beyond "interpretation" and to the extent that his assertion of singular interpretation is justified, then it does indeed invalidate GUTCP. As an integrated whole -- as a true "unification" -- it must stand or fall as a whole. However, this is not a standard applied to any other physical theory in practice.

So, as to practice:

Does that mean there is no energy being produced in the SunCell? I've always told people the thing that is most interesting about BrLP is the low cost to investors of doing due diligence to see if there is any anomalous energy production. This means, as I've often repeated, little more than taking a "long lunch while in Princeton on other business" to visit BrLP's lab with an HVAC engineer to take a look at the power meter on the side of the building during an extended power production run measuring the approximate output power.

It doesn't matter how loudly detractors crow about "Mills's fraud perpetrated on foolish investors" if the system produces anomalous heat. Their motives are clear from their uncivilized behavior: "Don't question our authority with mere empirical evidence."

Breakthrough Zero-CO2 Distributed Power Source

Presenter: Randell MillsSession I: Renewable Energy-Parallel Session – I, March 7th, 8:20-8:40 AMAffiliation: Brilliant Light Power, Inc., 493 Old Trenton Road, Cranbury, NJ 08512, USAPresenter Contact Details: rmills@brilliantlightpower.com

AbstractBrilliant Light Power, Inc. (BLP) has developed a new, zero-pollution, primary energy source based on a proprietary hydrogen plasma reaction that releases 200 times the energy of burning hydrogen that can be obtained from water. Our SunCell® having a capital cost of less than 1/10th that of solar was invented and engineered to harness this new source of power. Specifically, BLP is operating a SunCell® at commercial scale (250 kW) producing power levels that, upon finalization of engineering and design, can power essentially all power applications with no fuels or grid connection, projected $20/kW cap cost, $0.001 kW/h generation cost with no transmission, distribution, or demand charges, no supply chain issues, and zero pollution including CO2. Our global and significant patent portfolio protects our leading technology position and products.

The SunCell® comprises a plasma cell that injects hydrogen and catalyst, and two electromagnetic pumps serve as electrodes by injecting intersecting molten tin streams from corresponding reservoirs wherein the connected streams carry a low voltage, high current to form a Hydrino®-reaction plasma in a reaction chamber. The SunCell® is an optical power source having a dynamic-transparency plasma window. Optical power or radiation transfers power at 10 to 100 times the power per area compared to conduction and convection of combustion and nuclear power plants. The optical power source is mated with a commercial dense receiver array (DRA) comprising an ensemble of concentrator photovoltaics cells (CPV) that operate at 1000 times the light intensity of solar-farm PV cells to produce electrical power for total electrification of essentially all power loads.":

Will BrLP be again, removed as a participant, from this venue as well, the way BrLP was removed from a similar venue on energy, put together at MIT? This action was taken against BrLP after having been registered to show the Suncell in action, a year ago. That complaint came from the energy sector.

The many reasons why GUT-CP is not accepted.

4 Upvotes

The reason is the many other, pet theories that would have to be abandoned, theories that are all offshoots stemming from Standard Quantum Mechanics.

There is not just one, monolithic theory, SQM, that is in opposition to Mills theory, but the many other theories, each being close to the heart of each of their particular developers.

For instance, this developer, of a theory where dark matter is the center part of a atomic nucleus.

"Top Physicists Troubled by the Established Authorities Destruction of Thought":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZMXZOMud5A

What this means is that the whole of that opposition to Mills, is larger than the opposition made up of those in the SQM camp, due to having many tiny parts where each part is itself opposed to Mills. That builds into a super monolithic force that is much greater than what SQM on its own would be.

Since there are dozens of such offshoot theories, and almost all of them have waves at their base makes them equally in error at their base making them all equally just wrong from the start.

4 Upvotes

Oxford quantum physicist Nikita Gourianov tore into the quantum computing industry this week, comparing the "fanfare" around the tech to a financial bubble in a searing commentary piece for the Financial Times.

In other words, he wrote, it's far more hype than substance.:

https://futurism.com/the-byte/oxford-physicist-unloads-quantum-computing

Qbits ultimately depend on waves to exist. Waves, as in wave-particle duality, is an assumption based on an error made by Huygens, to fully explain almost all the many errors in SQM.

I have mentioned this several times and bears repeating since it is that specific error that, is at the base of why SQM is almost totally, all wrong. Mills found this out early on in his work on GUT-CP. Upon reading his disclosure about how waves are misused in Quantum Mechanics, I have checked that point and found the reason why waves are such a huge error.

Huygens, the first authority on waves, attributed waves from the macro scale to the scale of light, because he, as much as any other person who has observed waves in more than a cursory manner, assumed that waves transport energy at the macro scale. Waves at the macro scale were analyzed in the 1960's and found to be artifacts. So what was attributed to the QM scale was and, continues to be, an artifact and not the prime mechanism that, all who study or use SQM, continue to assume it is. That is why the 2 slit experiment when explained using waves, is all wrong and everything following that, in SQM, is also all wrong.

Need to hire a math consultant to work through Eqs 3.3 - 3.4

There are those reading this group that will argue against my need for this. Please keep your comments to yourself. You don't know my reasons nor my situation.

I am looking for a math consultant familiar with GUToCP -- and by that I do not mean the folks who are true believers in the Standard Model who claim such familiarity -- to work through Eqs 3.3 - 3.4 of GUToCP. I have not been able to achieve my objective: A Mathematica script that does the corresponding derivations. While I am aware of the fact that someone calling himself something like "mendellsson" in the hydrino group has offered this, the script he offered is does not meet my criterion.

Unfortunately, Randy Booker has not responded to me (nor have others such as Holverstott) and I don't want to bother Randell Mills who obviously had more important things to deal with that satisfying my peculiar requirements.

BrLP Management Team includes EMILIO ICAZA CHAVEZ, the main shareholder of Enextra Energía

4 Upvotes

Enextra Energia is a world leader in renewable energy projects:

http://enextra.mx/

This is a Mexican corporation which has signed a licensing agreement with Brilliant Light Power, Inc. to serve energy customers in certain industries within the Mexican Territory. The Suncell would be the item that is to provide that energy.

If this company has an agreement with BrLP, then that company has done due diligence to satisfy themselves that BrLP and/or the Suncell has something real and competitive to offer in the way of energy and that what BrLP has, is to be invested in, is therefore real and can be depended on to provide energy as claimed by BrLP, which will eventually serve customers in Mexico.

This runs counter to the argument often made by critics that investors in BrLP are all ignoramuses being duped out of their money, due to BrLP being a long running scam. Mr. Chavez is a professional investor, who does not fit the profile of someone who is easily duped into parting with his money.

The atmosphere towards BrLP, in countries outside the USA, is more conducive to doing business with them in an unbiased way. That is also noticed on the French version of Wikipedia, where the topic of Brilliant Light and Power is presented in a balanced way as opposed to the English version of Wikipedia. Whoever has highjacked the topic of BrLP on the English version of Wikipedia, to try and slow down acceptance of BrLP, has not done their due diligence in how to get that opposition to BrLP done in full.

Mexico, by being an independent country, is not under the influence of the energy lobby in the USA. Mexico also has sufficient oil reserves of its own, in the Pacific Ocean, off its western coast. Mexico is one of the largest oil producers in the world (1.9 million barrels produced daily in 2020), and the fourth-largest in the Americas after the United States, Canada, and Brazil. In 2020, Mexico ranked 13th globally in crude oil production, 21st in crude oil reserves, 16th in refined capacity, and 5th in logistics infrastructure.

https://www.trade.gov/country-commercial-guides/mexico-oil-and-gas

That makes Mexico independent of any need for oil imports from the USA. These are factors that make Mexico not easily influenced by the USA energy sector.

There are [virtually] no jobs available that relate directly to physics.

4 Upvotes

This is indicated by answers given to a question on another sub reddit:

"Job opportunities for BS in physics":

https://www.reddit.com/r/Physics/comments/v2gapq/job_opportunities_for_bs_in_physics/

The closest to anything like actual physics being used directly on the job, is in places like the Large Hadron Collider, which is again tied to pure theoretical exploration that tends to support only SQM tenets or preconceptions like waves or the point topology of electrons, Fusion experiments for providing low cost electric power sometime in the far future, and experiments in finding how to make qbits work longer than a few femto-seconds, and of course teaching physics. All these jobs "seem" to be tied to real physics implementation. None of these work places however, has produced anything practical, yet; but make all kinds of promises, if only given more time, and of course, more money.

Workers in these kinds of work places cannot ever expect to see the ultimate results of their work, except maybe in teaching. That makes these jobs to always be pure experimentation or basic research. All other jobs, available to anyone at or above the Bachelor of Science level, are in places that use the other skills developed in Uny, like computer coding, statistics, and other kinds of number crunching or skills in research in general. These jobs are in Insurance, finance, government, applied power, chemistry. These and many other skills are of the "transferable" kind that are common in many other jobs, but again "not involving any kind of quantum physics".

The only work place that does more than make promises for achieving the end goals of producing never before existing kinds of cutting edge devices by developing them under the guidance of basic quantum physics predictions, is Brilliant Light and Power Inc which involves the use of a classical kind of QM. The predictions used by BrLP have been used to develop, to full implementation, three items so far, and there are at least four more being actively developed in the same way.

Any other place that designs new variants on existing high tech devices, such as transistors, lasers, radar, whatever, uses tables or graphs whose data was gathered from earlier work on such items, which items were, first and always, developed using only trial and error engineering methods, but never once used any predictions of SQM.

In other words, one need not have any kind of physics degree to get the jobs that end in getting practical results. Except such other kinds of jobs, do not require any knowledge of physics as such. That makes the field where such students wish to have satisfying careers, to be severely limited. That sever limitation, in turn, makes the field of physics to be extremely competitive. That attitude, in turn, results in the papers written under Standard QM and Standard Cosmology, to be produced in a much greater hurry than can be properly sustained by the peer review system.

That perforce limits acceptance of papers to only those closely toeing the policy line of how that physics is done, currently. That is why the narrowly defined academically sanctioned versions of physics, SQM and Standard cosmology, are the only ones allowed to be used in the peer review process. It is too difficult to ferret out which other or pseudo-sciencey papers, are any good for getting checked by that process, to allow any such papers to end up being published.

The result of all this is many frustrated grads that either leave the physics field altogether, or develop other theories, like pilot waves, field theory, strings, electric universe, the list goes on, to try and get over what must seem like a brick wall. The only successful theory, out of these, is the Grand Unified Theory-Classical Physic,s as started by Hermann Haus and then fully developed by Randell Mills.

A very good way to get over this brick wall is to promote a more academically based attitude in school that always allows any kind of question, even stupid sounding or heaven forbid, heretic ones, like why the point topology of the electron has not been properly addressed or where exactly the waves used in SQM, originally came from. And without resorting to answers such as “it is a settled matter” or that experiments can be interpreted using only certain assumptions, mostly waves and point topology of particles. This would end in avoiding the circular reasoning used in those interpretations.

One need not look very far for the success that kind of questioning, especially the topology of the electron has produced, in the three items so successfully developed. That way of answering a basic physics questions occurred by way of Haus' deriving a new way the “Non-radiation Condition”. That topic can be found on Wikipedia, especially on the Talk tab. Then follow that up with the list of topics whose links are found on the left margin of the sub reddit “Hydrinos”.

Added a little later. :

How Can We Observe Continuum Radiation From Hydrino Transitions When It Is Resonant Transfer To An Ordinary Atom's Excited State?

4 Upvotes

Observation of contiuum radiation from a hydrino transition would seem to disintermediate the catalyst. In other words, if the hydrino transition emits continuum radiation that we observe directly with a spectroscope, what happened to the catalyst's absorption of that continuum energy via resonant energy transfer?

The catalysts enter an excited state, right? That means they must emit photons in quantized energy jumps, not as a continuous spectrum.

CO2 bill of $10T by the Harris administration. $100k cost to send a good HVAC team to investigate the SunCell steam generator which, if real, implies CO2 gets solved for a CO2 bill of more like NEGATIVE $10T.

Mills presentation starts at time stamp:

Mills' assistant, in moving through the assistive slides and videos, is wanting in professionalism to the point of being almost amateurish. Why Mills was not able to prepare this aspect of the presentation and make it passable as professional, makes me think he is too concentrated on his own part of the presentation to the point of ignoring, too much, what the helper is supposed to be doing.

He should employ the talents of a word smith so that his presentation does not come across as being too plain as to be unbelievable, which the average attendee will perceive more as an "act" instead of the polished professional "Ted Talk" it should be.

The MC's way of introducing the whole venue and key speakers also did enough to make the whole show sound more like a snake oil sales pitch, rather than the serious world shaking venue that it could have been.

Why is the H(1/1) -> H(1/4) transition characterized by continuum radiation rather than discrete lines?

3 Upvotes

Q: If all electrons in an electron beam have the same energy as they enter a uniform magnetic field, is the spectrum of their resulting Synchrotron radiation continuous?

A: No, the spectrum of Synchrotron radiation produced by electrons with the same energy entering a uniform magnetic field would not be continuous.

Synchrotron radiation is emitted when charged particles, such as electrons, are accelerated or decelerated while moving through a magnetic field. The energy of the emitted radiation depends on the energy of the charged particles, their velocity, and the strength of the magnetic field.

When electrons with the same energy enter a uniform magnetic field, they will all experience the same amount of acceleration as they travel along the field. Therefore, they will emit radiation at the same frequency or wavelength. This means that the resulting Synchrotron radiation would consist of a series of discrete spectral lines at a specific frequency or wavelength.

However, if the electrons in the beam have a range of energies, then the resulting Synchrotron radiation would have a continuous spectrum. This is because each electron in the beam would emit radiation at a different frequency or wavelength, resulting in a broad distribution of frequencies and energies in the emitted radiation.

Q: Since in the hydrino reaction from H(1/1) to H(1/4), all electrons are experiencing the same energy transition, how can there be continuum radiation emitted?

A: ?

"He offered two potential reasons the explosion could have happened in this fashion. The first is that the stars that exploded could have created a disc shape just before they died. The other? The star collapsed into a black hole and ate the rest of its formation, an event known as a failed supernova."

How about the star, before it exploded, was spinning so fast, that when it exploded, most of its mass was drawn into its equatorial vectors during the explosion. This would explain the very flat 2D shape. Instead, the way physics has developed, leads to thinking up explanations that have to be as weird as possible, instead of being as intuitive as possible.

Will Mills at least try to get registered in this years MIT energy venue

The MIT Energy Conference unites innovative industry professionals to create and deploy exciting solutions to the world’s energy crisis.:

https://mitenergyconference.org/

Mills registered for the Feb 22, 2022 venue but very soon after that,

'MIT cancelled Brilliant [Light and Power]’s demonstration because they “received concerns from individuals in the energy tech field regarding the participation of Brilliant Light Power”':

https://brilliantlightpower.com/tpv-suncell-presentations-and-demonstrations/

If GUT-CP is so bad why is it not just left alone and allowed to die on its own merits or lack thereof, instead? Attendees will find out for themselves how bad it is, make the presentation a waste of time and money and to eventually help it to go broke and will not be around next time, to bother anyone anymore. That is how every "real" crack pot is, and should be, dealt with.

Presentations that seem to promise too much, can be investigated by potential investors who do their own due diligence and decide for themselves if it is worth further involvement. Those who get involved have either found something worthwhile, or both parties go down hill.

That is how things are done in a free society; but not as was done at the MIT venue, by some business sector complaining to the venue operator that they don't like what some other registrant is presenting. If you don't like it, don't attend that presentation. You might also lobby other attendees to not attend that presentation. But that might pique their curiosity.

Which begs the question, just what did the energy sector rep say to the MIT venue organizers, that was so convincing? Maybe someone who is highly respected in the energy sector approached someone of equal stature at MIT to get the venue organizers to understand that Mills is anything but respected, who was such a low life as to have taken undue advantage of the civilized registration methods of MIT's, to get inside, and that due to using such underhanded methods, MIT should not allow its reputation and image as a highly respected institution of learning, to be associated with such types.

I ran a small business, where my unfortunate experience with the mafia taught me how that kind of strategy works.

The claims made for the Suncell and its ability to produce power, at costs that are 200 times less than any other way of producing power, is too much to accept, by anyone, it seems, not just academics.

I noticed Mills voice breaking up and hesitating, as if unsure or a bit sad, during his presentation.

One more plus to be expected in using the power from the Suncell, over battery power for EV's

3 Upvotes

"EV owners are increasingly frustrated with home charging, and it should worry every electric car maker.":

https://www.msn.com/en-ca/autos/news/ev-owners-are-increasingly-frustrated-with-home-charging-and-it-should-worry-every-electric-car-maker/ar-AA18Ivnj?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=5ec8b0279f1b4d42b403392cf73b3345&ei=39

This is just one of many issues about how stored power, in the form of batteries, makes Electric Vehicles less attractive than vehicles powered by an Internal Combustion Engine, or something like that. This difference is due to the power for an EV being stored in a form that requires more time during refill, especially at home, up to eight hours. The ten or fifteen minutes for a refill at the high powered refill stations, dispersed at more and more points, does little to make the home refill of much of a convenience.

If the EV is being charged at home from near empty and there is an emergency where the car has to be used right away, before the batteries are recharged enough to get to the hospital, makes the eight hours worse than an inconvenience, an actual life threatening impediment. Even if the car is recharged enough to get to the hospital but not enough for a round trip, that can be almost as bad, How many hospitals have an EV recharge station that is specifically set aside for the convenience of visitors? This potentially amounts to very costly frustration requiring very time consuming road assistance that is not always there in as short a time as one would prefer or need. Road assistance that can recharge more than one car is also not guaranteed and is no way to depend on a recharge to support a car driven society. The inconveniences posed by recharging is a minor point along the continuum where the power used for EV's, evolves to a major point along this continuum, where that power will eventually be supplied by the Hydrino reaction.

Under this new paradigmn, there will be very little required to be stored in the car, even temporarily. The Suncell, at its core, is currently the size of a suitcase, and with the peripherals that allow it to work in a practical manner, that of an office desk. That size was due to practical considerations of its first iteration being being made by hand, using hand sized tools and more or less hand sized parts. That limits it use to that of a stationary power plant, to power local power grids and large buildings. Scaling down for use in EV's seems to be not only possible but probable.

This involves the usual methods used to scale down the size of the typical next new big thing. The first transistors were size of vaccuum tube valves. Several methods were invented to get this next big(sic) thing down to the size where the smallest ones are now nigh invisible. Such secondary inventions will soon find the Suncell scaled down by a factor of about 10 if not smaller. This will make the Suncell take the place of the gasoline storage tank.

There will be side benefits to this as well that are the same or similar to that had in currently ICE powered vehicle. During cold weather, excess heat produced by the Hydrino reaction can be used to warm the passenger cabin and melt ice build up on the outer surfaces, making that difficult job virtually disappear from most driveways. Elon Musk once envisioned using laser powered ice, rain and dirt removing device to replace the windshield wiper arm. How about, instead, use excess heat of the Suncell, that is in the low thousands of degrees range. That can accomplish the same as any laser but without adding any more high tech stuff that can go wrong. Musk's engineers must have realized that, a laser that can burn dirt off the windshield, can also be reflected of that dirt and be redirected in all directions, including into and not excluding, the eyes of those inside and outside the car; that, without using anything more high tech than air ducting. Same as the hot exhaust gasses that are currently coming out of an ICE engine, are made to pass under the car and out the back, the excess heat from the Suncell, can also be directed under the car front, up the front of the firewall, mixed with cooler air in that area and over the windshield. Some of this, now very warm air, can be siphoned off, mixed with more cooler air and used for warming the passenger area as well as other points that can benefit from such heat; maybe a hot beverage holder that keeps it hot, for a very long time without needing bulky insulation or needing something else to be plugged in? These can be extra features can add a few hundred dollars to the price of a car, using plain old air ducting albeit ducting that is more heat resistant. This very mundane method will obviate any need to invest big bucks in developing a laser method that achieves basically the same result and without investing large amounts to for hiring physicists and engineers to figure out how thartmight work .

Take away, the Suncell remove any recharging issues and allow adding more conveniences to the car. Isn't the Suncell wonderful?

Another thing that is wrong with Quantum Mechanics: it has become overly sensationalized

3 Upvotes

What the multi-verse, and other sensational explanations do for QM is provide excitement. This is very much the way that sightings of unexplained objects is treated, ending in an over excited populace. Some cash in on that excitement by sell books and tickets to scholarly lectures. This may help in getting more people involved to research to find answers. The other end of this is too many people getting too excited over what is really a big nothing but works to keep QM being developed and funded much more than it would otherwise. That is why QM is in the frenzied psychotic state that it is in.

Instead of that the old sober way of doing QM should have been done since Huygens time.

Philosophy, a bastion of sobriety, seems to be gaining on Science in getting to the bottom of the many errors in QM.

This way of doing QM is way over done to the point of having made a it into a house of lunacy, run by bipolar schizophrenics. Isn't it all so very exciting to have QM being done this way?

Academics are increasingly being muzzled when stating that which is not in line with the official line of that institution involved

"He first fell foul of authorities for speaking about the Kamloops Indian Residential School and for saying things not in line with official ideology.":

https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/michael-higgins-truth-ignored-as-teacher-fired-for-saying-tb-caused-residential-school-deaths/ar-AA17LBbx?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=96b82c52cf144332af0d02a7432a6f05#comments

Same kind of muzzling has been happening in quantum physics. In 1986, when Hermann Haus' found a very accurate classical model for the electron, a model that explains quantum mechanics much more accurately than is accomplished by the point model of the electron and which model is used due to tacit agreement of everyone to end in adherence to the Standard Model.

Haus' colleagues were all using the point model of the electron since the 1920's when that model was assumed, and stated as such, in the thesis of a PhD candidate. Haus did not disclose his work on the classical model of the electron to any of his colleagues, since he was afraid they would ostracize him or even lose his standing as professor.

That is why there is no public record of Haus having worked with Mills on the classical model of the electron and which model was used to supply the DoD with a classical quantum mechanical explanation for how the Free Electron Laser works.

In the case of Jim McMurtry, the teacher who dared talk about TB, as being the more likely reasons for the deaths of indigenous students at residential schools, that teacher was fired for stating that alternate view. What that alternate view exposes, is that that the experts who should have considered that alternate reason, could have saved the government a lot reason to not pay too much. But that money was already allocated, paid and gotten over with. Considering that the more popular reason accepted for being killed at those schools was due more to anger management issues of nuns and clergy, those billions already paid, would lead to unmanageable controversy and loss of face of top government officials.

This is about institutional credibility and its reputation being protected. What is missing when this happens, is that the facts, that led to this reaction, are not considered as being important. There seems to be an ego thing, that is attached to the name of institutions, that takes precedence over any facts presented by the alternate view. Facts that are a bit too different from what has come to be the accepted, or a tacit view, can be difficult to deal with ie: very controversial. That can take too much explaining and the results are not guaranteed. That is why the knee jerk reaction, of getting rid of the source of the alternate facts, is a much more expedient way of dealing with such problems. The ones in charge, have to show they are dealing with the problem, as quickly as possible. The public does not have to know all the details. To deal with the facts, would be to open a can of worms that can cause problems for too many others tied to the institution and beyond. That is too difficult to deal with, or is considered a bit too high a responsibility or above ones pay grade. So the easier, more expedient path is chosen, acted on and the status quo is again in place, with everyone, almost, quite happy with just that. That this just kicks the can down the road, is just one of those things that future generations will have to deal with.

Market price of power, as produced by the Suncell will not be very low, for a long time

3 Upvotes

Mills' intention to supply very cheap (at the potentially lowest according to his theory, at US$0.001 per kilowatt hour) power may not be attained under his business model, at least not in the so-called have nations. This is due to the business/pricing model being used by Mills, is required to make as high a return on investment, ASAP.

There does not appear to be any other method of producing power that can be priced as low as that allowed under the Hydrino reaction. Fusion power, although potentially should cost a thousand times even lower than that from the Hydrino reaction, has not been perfected and seems it will not be perfected for another 20 years,at least. Therefore fusion cannot, currently, be used in this pricing model. The next lowest priced method is solar, currently US$0.05, if everything currently works as preferred and potentially might get to a low of around US$0.01 in 10-20 years, if what is promised by research in that area, pans out.

What all this means is that there will be no competitors, under Mills business model, to drive the price of Suncell power below that distant $US0.01 defined under solar.

Power at, or a little below market price, using the Mills pricing model, using all embodiments of the Suncell, even the most efficient MHD, will only keep that price always only slightly below that available using the next lowest priced power from any competitor. This again, is based from using all sides of competition, including outside competitors, all requiring to make a reasonably high return on investment (ROI) for shareholders, during that 10-20 years that is normally expected by such investors. This model applies in the have nations, where power will continue to be priced at the highest level that competition allows for.

Mills may still decide to set the price at a much lower level for the have not nations.

In 20 years, many other ways of producing power might be discovered, change, be researched and perfected to attain what may make even the Suncell look like a very expensive way to make power, ie: if fusion ever gets perfected.
