NASA needs this brilliance.

Adsorption on the palladium would need to bring a "significant number" of hydrogen nuclei closer by a few magnitudes than usually allowed in the atomic state. Maybe this happens often enough, statistically speaking, that a few neutrons popped off. Think about the Boltzmann distribution. There is an exponentially decreasing probability of elements in a kinetic ensemble to have "high" energy, compared with kT. MAGNITUDES: then again maybe it's more than a few. Average kinetic energy at room temp. is only hundreths of one electron volt. Energy needed to overcome nuclear repulsion is in the range of one million electron volts. I need to look this up, but certainly magnitudes of nuclear changes are in the range of hundreds of thousands of ev.

If solar electric panels were cheap it might be economical to separate hydrogen and oxygen, to collect the H2 for fuel cells, say, in autos. This is chemical energy, not nuclear energy; these are different realms. Obtaining appropriate fuel for hydrogen fusion would be trivial if not for the need of heavy isotopes of hydrogen, deuterium and tritium, which give the desired reactions.

The OP speaks about electric hydrolysis or whatever you call what I did in seventh grade with upside-down testtubes and a DC source. With a few volts, and some electrolyte, hydrogen collects in one tube and oxygen in the other. Lighted with a flame the H_2 sounded briefly at maybe 500H, a quarter-wave I suspect of the tube.

There are phase fronts that can advance at arbitrary speed. Consider a very large sphere impinging on a "wall" or another large sphere. This is simple calculus: at the moment of first connection, the velocity of the locus of contact, sideways, is infinite.

The bees are mostly on the fresh-opened flowers, so timing of chemical spraying might be important.

Fair enough.

The Puthoff paper I referred to speaks to an intrinsic ZPF bouncing off the matter field of the large scale, and not surprisingly describes equilibrium. His interesting conclusion is cosmologic, where he integrates the "Olbers paradox". This does not help me see further in understanding "nowhere at all", as a responsive place. I connect homogeneous and inhomogeneous as one field. There is always a frame of reference locally in terms of charge and current, in which interaction may be seen as purely electric. Is this sufficient to say our vacuum theory on this level needs no curl, no spins?

My bee farmer friends moved 500 hives around southern Oregon and mid-California, for different blooms of what were sometimes fields sprayed with chemicals. I have not heard this question addressed. Thinking on our market types, 'clover' and grass-like things may not be sprayed but fruit crops and grains may.

I feel this is not how we are going to get our theoretic butts kicked. How can you say interpretation of time is not central? I am screwing with Schwarzschild metrics; I do not know the posts you speak of from FARSIGHT......In my GR text by Adler,Bazin,Schiffer, they construct the exterior metric so the far-field is Lorentzian. Be careful, do not use the word 'flat' here. In the differential equation solving it is useful, as often, to try a form that you think is useful. We adopt an exponential as 'positive trailing off to unity, or zero', and get a nice solution that proceeds to blow up in our face as we go inward.......Maybe I will find different assumptions for the metric form of quark stars.

Yes you can stack parallel fashion on the same ground until you get to wire capacity for the combined current. If they run in 'or' logic then it doesn't matter.

Maybe the Church is onto something in free radio.

I did not get much from Hawking's brief book. I am slowly working my way forward through these large questions. It would be largely satisfying if time went this way and that on opposite sides of horizons so that things ultimately go nowhere, winding and unwinding.

Do you really mean diode? Certainly flames are partly ionized.

We've seen potato clocks (I have!) which might have had dissimilar metal wires put into a somewhat electrolytic potato. Wax is not known as a conductor; what change in electron energy comes with warming, and could it be conducted? This could save lighting energy for the Roman Catholic Church!

So you see a maximum possible black hole size? I guess there ought to be some such, like the universe anyway. I like the thought that time is reversed inside the horizon in the Schwarzschild solution, so maybe time ultimately goes, plus and minus, nowhere at all.

To sum up, the normal mode eq. with my RHS current terms, becomes a homogeneous eq. in A_trans. This is more appropriate for a wave equation.

Some of you chemists can corroborate this but I think most molecular process doubles at about the same rate, so it is a cool thing to know. I deal professionally advising clients about the relative humidity in their homes vis-a-vis their pianos, and the facts of life with vapor pressure are not always intuitive. Now I can point them to this thread. The rates are expressed in kinetic theory. Ludwig Boltzmann shot himself in 1906, being deeply bummed out that no one would take seriously his atomic theory of kinetics. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I am trying to link his exponential to the quantum fields.

I'd lend you my vernier caliper if you were closer by. I expect the food to expand slightly from just heat expansion, and then there's vapor production, and also maybe puffing up from cooking (state change). Yes I feel silly, but I like a good Polish dog. Yes, Bluenoise, the possibilities here are pretty funny. I do keep lengths of shrink-tube from Radio Shack for electric wire splices. They shrink to about half-size under strong heat gun. . . . . . . . Hefting my trusty CRC tables, I see the vapor pressure of water doubles roughly every 12 degrees C.

I approached this somewhat nervously this morning but I think it works out and that I can describe it to you without first composing a paper with eqs. We can write the normal variable alpha= SQRT[eps/2h-nu][omega A_trans - i E_trans]. I start with an assumed Gaussian packet described by A_y,z. Its divergence implies a scalar potential, but contributions to the electric field from this mode are longitudinal and so not involved. All you are left with is the electric field of -A-dot and the i-omegas work out right to give simply twice [omega A_trans]. Thus all terms including my current are homogeneous.

I have written the following to H.Puthoff: "In the normal modes expressed in k-space, we write: alpha-dot + i-omega-alpha = (i /2eps_o N) j_trans. Usually we talk about the free-space homogeneous case with zero current on the RHS. I am proposing possible further mechanics by putting in my current terms as expressed in the photon paper. There I realize j= (-lambda^2 + rho/U) A. The latter quantity is a function of transverse (axially speaking) distance only. I got stuck doing the convolution integral but this should not take me too long when I get time to complete it. Why can we not construct further mechanics in this fashion? Reading in Cohen-Tannoudji, Atoms and Photons, p.30, '...alpha(k,t) can not be interpreted as the photon wave function in real space, and it is impossible to construct a position operator for the photon. Additionally, the equation of motion of alpha no longer has the form of a Schroedinger equation in the presence of sources: it is not homogeneous.' Am I not answering to this?"

These Schroedinger rabbits are a tough act - some of 'em come out of the hat dead.

After a good load of pothole sand/rock mix, and then three excellent loads of standing dead madrone firewood I had just cut, the battery took a charge for just over two hours, less than one-half total capacity. BIG LOADS of dead, a full wheelbarrow-full, minus one or two going uphill on grass. <THEME MUSIC>. I had travelled a kilometer, so the spec of "at least an hour" at maybe 2kph makes sense.

In some public place, be slightly obvious about slowly pouring a drink into a glass or something. See how many people get up and exit. I am prepared to abandon a hypothesis proven worthless.
