content: Latest updateUnfortunately he doesn't understand how to use a DC clamp meter - at 16:55 you can see it's not zeroed and reading 0.35A when not clamped round a cable. Maybe that's why he thinks he's creating enegy.

content: A high voltage pulse into lead acid battery taps into zero-point energy? Yeah, nah, buddy.High voltage pulses from coils and capacitor banks are widely used in research (the many Z-pinch machines and experiments, for example), with a literal fuckton of sensors measuring the total energy of the event among other things. (And its those sensors that have given us stuff like solid state x-ray imaging sensors with a tiny radiation dose compared to the old physical films.) All excess energy events have been traced to plasma fusion as our current physical models predict, with fusion products (neutrons and heavier elements) detected as expected.And patents? The only thing patents "suppress" is competition.I don't know if this is a scam, or just a completely deluded hobbyist fooled by wrong use of cheap meters not measuring the energy in the pulse correctly, but either way it is sad as hell. 😢

content: There seems to be no end to this shit. A lot arises out of incomplete knowledge of basic physics which is a prerequisite for any energy production/conversion. They do not understand or do not want to understand that free energy/overunity/something from nothing/free lunch are all categorically ruled out by the laws of thermodynamics. In addition to the laws of thermodynamics there is Noether's theorem, a mathematical proof of the conservation laws. Could be a combination of delusion and scam.

content: (Dismiss, the mis-dis-information).Reader wonders, here, how could all this stuff, where even the fakes don't fake very well; how could it be, that the fake stuff gets through a common sense filter, that everyday people have ?I don't know that answer! But, for sure they do believe. And the lies have such incompetent delivery. Try, for yourselves, to read my first, opening sentence. They couldn't even state the truth manipulation, without resorting to made-up words and phrases. The ridiculous sounding (new) term, in the news, became:Disinformation,...out of 'misinformation', all for use in an election year.You can almost smell the incompetence. I mean, I could respect a clever lier, (some). But this shit is simply amateur political manipulation, (when it's anything Putin, Trump, Musk)!Lately, I've heard that Bill Gates wants to, methodically, kill a bunch of bird species. True ? or not ? So easy to view that as nonsense, but it don't come down that way, (somehow)!

content: Quote from: RJSV on September 25, 2025, 12:06:10 amBecause of two reasons:Most people have the common sense filter disabled in their settings.They prefer to do things based on emotions and "gut feelings" and social pressure, rather than actually think about things. Thinking takes effort, you see.Almost all human beings have override switches for their filters, triggered by social cues, exploited by socially adept people and confidence tricksters.It is the same thing over all fields of human endeavour, especially in finance, technology, and politics.The technology one is funny, because most people assume that the best solution to a problem wins. That is meritocracy, and never occurs unless everybody involved spends a lot of extra effort to do so. Just look at the history of technolody inventions: the merits of a specific invention or tech is rarely that important, and instead whether it can be used to make money tends to be the decisive factor.This can sound pessimistic, but really isn't. Humans just cannot be treated as an intelligent, rational species. We must be considered as asocialspecies instead. Individuals can be rational if they spend the effort, but groups are ruled by social behaviour. When you do that, everything starts to make sense. It is why you cannot predict what say a specific driver does, but can easily model traffic in general.

content: God, I hate it when somebody is right, (and I have to accept it.). Thanks Nominal Animal. Especially, thanks, because this post I do right now, needs your feedback (I had planned to say)!This reply needs MATH, but more like the statistics branch. It's a mathematical function, that never goes 'catastrophic'. Or like an amplifier circuit, that doesn't go unstable, like some can.The tentative theory says, you can keep adding one individual after another, that is easily duped as mentioned already. But never reach a tipping point, where continuation is impossible.Please allow me to give an example of the reverse of this:You keep lowering the temperature, in a room, and you also keep taking away the water supply: Eventually, and often you can calculate when, the residents inside are gonna die. That's the catastrophic end point of the function, where survival ain't happening, for long.Now, in this case, with people erroneously accepting mostly obvious flawed rumours and gossipy statements, often the 'end' is lacking, if you can graph the more social oriented function. That's why I've mentioned statistics as a branch of math. (Or as a branch of science, that uses math).Certainly, with 1 million folks believing that cats can fly, a person wouldn't think that 1,000,001 people accepting that (flawed) belief would end in catastrophic function 'melt-down',...(as opposed to dropping the room temperature to unsurvivable levels.)_______________________________________________________My start in this dynamic was, in thinking of a daily personal task list, along with medically active 'fatique'.You start out Monday, with 5 new tasks, but each day can only complete TWO of the list items. Next day, Tuesday, you get another three new tasks for the list, but are only capable of completion of two.So, put in a functional form, like the calculus people would do, you would get a curve, that just keeps increasing, day by day. Ahh, but there is still the question of managing that list, itself !Eventually, things get gummed up, functionally, and the person attempting to clear out all the tasks can no longer sustain all the checking and notation needed. That point, I guess, could be calculated, or estimated, and would that be a 'catastrophic' end point ?I'm not sure how to phrase this question. I was, initially just thinking about how to graph that (function) of an increasing task list (like mowing the lawn, etc.)..Certainly, having 100% of the population believe that cats could fly, COULD be catastrophic....or could it, really ?I bet I'll like your reply !Thanks for considering.

content: Quote from: RJSV on September 25, 2025, 02:20:24 amAh! You have the exact same same situation physicists found themselves in, a bit over a century ago, when examining black-body radiation. Simply put, their models turned out to predict that thermal radiation (black body radiation) is infinite, something that Paul Ehrenfest calledultraviolet catastrophein 1911.The solution then, and to your question, isquantization: instead of treating the statistics as a continuous curve (like classical physics did to thermal radiation), you note that it is actually non-continuous, consisting of small packets, quanta.Quote from: RJSV on September 25, 2025, 02:20:24 amThis is because you forget that social interaction includes the occasional expression and application of "common sense"by individuals.As an example, consideravalanche breakdown(or more generally,electron avalanche). Say, you have a high-voltage source, connected across some thin insulator, and you slowly increase the voltage over the insulation, also measuring the leakage current.A classical/simplistic model would say that the leakage is zero until it suddenly isn't at some voltage. That is not what happens in reality, because you do start to have some tiny leakage currents at relatively low voltages, which then increases first slowly, then in an exponential manner close to the breakdown voltage.Humans behave the same way. Before and after they join a venture, they discuss (often socially) about it with others. Initially, especially in a successful scam, this is what lures more people in. Humans think much more when they talk compared to when they listen, which also explains things like the effectiveness ofrubber duck debugging(explaining your thoughts to a rubber duck also organizes your thoughts, often helping you realize/solve the problem you are thinking about). This means that as individual humans start talking about it to others, they also start sporadically applying their filters. This affects their output, and this spreads among the participants in the venture. If it indeed is a scam, at some point this effect has the same kind of "knee" that electron avalanche has, starting to feed itself almost exponentially, until the social atmosphere toggles from pro-venture to anti-venture.Quote from: RJSV on September 25, 2025, 02:20:24 amI understand. For a few years, I had to avoid creating any task lists, because even the perception of undone/waiting tasks made me freeze/block/lock up, and give me insomnia.The solution is to prioritize.You use one main list that has a very limited number of slots. For me, this is a small wall board I put post-it notes to, one note per slot. I recommend against using your fridge for this, because for me it upset my stomach and lead to digestion issues. I use a wall in my vestibule: easily seen and noted, but not always in my line-of-sight.You also have a wish list with unlimited number of slots. For me, this is a box of post-it notes.Before you can add a new task to your main list, you must either complete one (so it can be removed), or move the least important one to the wish list.Whenever you manage to do a task, or your priorities change, you go through your wish list, and move tasks between the main list and wish list.If you keep a diary of your medical/mental issues (which I do recommend, because it is invaluable help to your health specialists, and makes it much easier to e.g. adjust your treatments and medication), you can use that diary to track and adjust the number of slots in your main task list. When you are doing well, you add an empty slot to the main list. When you feel overwhelmed, you move the least important task to the wish list and discard the main list slot.I started with a single main list slot myself. Now, a few years later, I no longer get overly stressed about the existence of the main list and its items, simply because my view of them has shifted from "these are things I must do" to priorization, to considering "how important is this" for each matter, and weighing them against each other.Which, if you think about it, is the most rational way to deal with multiple things you need to do!

content: Ah, thanks. That's maybe 3 separate things to ponder. (What depth, and surprising too!).However, right now I feel better to not crowd Dave's topic, here.One thing that I can offer, to readers, is teaching my formalized set, of yoga derivative mat work, which is surprisingly an aid to open up creativity. (Technically, a stretching program). Somehow that arose in my mind while reading the latter parts of your text, there.One example: extremist stretching, of the upper chest and mid-back, LED me to (measure) a sitting breathing rate of less than three expansions per minute....something that yoga people strive for, and a profound state of mind.Gotta repeat read your reply first, though !Thanks again.Rick in Ocean View Hawaii
