Re: Counterpoint to The Fusion Powered Future

I am a member of the hydrino study group (HSG), though rarely post there (lurker). The concept is interesting and mentally appealing, but Mills is not helping Earth-tech in there attempts at replicatation which are
1 Incredibly thorough.
2 Done in an earnest and forthright manner.
3.Done with high end materials and equipment.

Scott Little is the primary Earth-tech investigator. This is his day job. Every day! To replicate Mills claims for his boss, Hal Puthof, Physicist. Their efforts seem to indicate no hydrino effect whatsoever. This doesn't bode well for Mills and his ideas. Scott Little is the second amateur in the US to make and operate a neutron producing Farnsworth fusor.

Yes, we should proceed with investigationg fringe ideas provided those positing them can assist in helping us with replication! Something Mills has yet to do.

A reverse gyrotron sounds nice and is supposed to be the future of the planet........Just ask Mills or his boosters. Where are they? Anyone seen one demo'd under critical study.

If they work or ever worked, they would be on line doing something, somewhere.

I think, for my purposes, the neutron producing, fusion doing, Farnsworth-Hirsch-Meeks fusor is OK even as a neutron source. Whether it will blossom into tomorrow's energy device is not in my hands, of that, I am sure.

The hydrino bit is really intriguing as it links to my feeling that the neutron is really just proton and an electron bound in some special electrostatic fashion (nth or end stage hydrino?), but wishing it to be so is not support for my idea or Mills. Mills, claims he has experiment to back up his idea, yet a good lab like earth-tech working from his text and straining their guts out can't bend the experiment to Mills conclusion or results.
