I have read the file with a great deal of interest since I have been in the past, and am currently researching a plasma based system of over-unity power production. The KeelyNet was established for the purpose of sharing this type of information and provides a channel of comments, observations and often critique. A sort of peer review on a friendly basis. The MHD application referred to in the 4THSTATE.ASC file is not an over- unity device for several reasons that I will go into in greater detail as we go along. First, the MHD generator produced 30 Megawatts of which 10 Megawatts was plowed back into the device to maintain the necessary magnetic flux densities in the copper coils. Nothing is said in the text about the energy expenditure needed to heat the plasma nor propel it through the flux field to produce a current. When we talk about the advantages of using superconducting magnets in this type of application we must take into account the TOTAL ENERGEY OUTLAY to determine if we have an over-unity application. All we hear about the Super Conducting Super Collider is that it uses cryogenic cooled magnets to control and contain the particle path within the 52 mile ring. Just think about the fact that the Cryogenic system to achieve supercondtivity in the SSC would have cost over a BILLON dollars for it is an intergral part of each magnet section plus there was going to be built on site the world's largest facility for the production of liquid helium and liquid hydrogen which is the secondary coolant in the system. Extensive expense went into the emergency venting and gas escape system needed when the dreaded Quenching problem arises from time to time. Quenching is the term applied to the particle beam getting out of it's containment field and striking the magnetic coils causing instant heating and cryogenic gas boiling and expansion Page 1 which is the same as the explosive expansion of steam. When superconductivity is mentioned everyone thinks that this phenomena is magical and occurs at no additional cost: WRONG . The cryogenic cost of maintaining superconductivity must be entered into the over-unity equation if this is what we are trying to determine. If you are a GOVERNMENT project then totally disregard all these trivial expenses. Do you realize that the Commanche Peak Power station will cost more than the SSC and eventually all utility rate payers will foot the entire expense through utility rate increases? I make the above comments from a very informed basis for in my files I have all of the Patents that apply to MHD power generation including the ones on Plasma MHD. I also have all the Patents on Hot Fussion using Plasma. Due to on line time constraints I will share with everyone some interesting experiments that I have conducted with MHD in a subsequent message. Again, thank you Joel for sharing the 4th State info with us. Your friend Norm. ---------------------------------------- There has been a Reply to this message, use [+] to Read the most recent.

I've always enjoyed our conversations, and I admire the work you're doing. Some of the other MENTOR books also might have some interesting info, as well, and if I can track them down, I'll upload reviews of them as well. Hard to say how much MHD has progressed in the past 20+ years, but I'd guess it's on-line in quite a few places where cameras are NOT allowed.

I just finished reading your message at greater length, and hopefully, with more understanding. So, I want to ask your opinion. Page 2 I've been solidly of the opinion (also from experiments of my own) that ANY form of unity plus would require resonance. The CLEMM engine, which uses cooking oil with a turbine, is a good example. He pumped the oil until the turbine speed was at aggregate resonance, and the oil continued to flow by itself, propelled by the heat generated during the pumping process. One of these engines is still running around Dallas somewhere, buried so as to keep people from touching it. A MHD design might also pump the plasma to resonance, and then disconnect the pump/heater, and keep going in the same manner. I'd GUESS that that is how the Mark V (or its followers) work. I haven't the means to build a prototype of this, but it seems reasonable. What do you think? The book, as you noted, failed to mention the energy required to maintain the pump/heater, but they may have stumbled on the resonance principle, as Clemm did.

First a little background, I spent 30 years in the military during which time I had the opportunity to visit many of the defense manufacturing and R&D facilities since I was working with the R&D programs. While we were working on the ABM Sprint missile system back in the seventies I visited the Arnold wind tunnel, NASA Moffett Field and the BRL Hypersonic facility, therefore have first hand knowledge of them. During my stint as Director of Research and Development for a large energy firm in the Smoky Mountains (Ashville) we researched a low temp MHD system that would work on a wood burning or gas fired furnace for domestic application. It was based on an Israeli patent for a solar fired freon media system that opperated at 180 F. Since high temps are really NOT necessary for the MHD process to work then it follows that maybe a cold process was possible. Several years ago I assembled all the parts and put together a table top MHD generator that was rather interesting. The combination occurred to me after reading Joseph Caters "Awsome Life Force" in which he differentiated the HARD electrons from SOFT electrons noting their different characteristics. D.C. Cox of Resonance Research filled me in on the difference Page 2 between the soft electrons that are generated by influence machines like Holts, Wimshurst and other electrostatic generators and the Vandegraff machine which generates or accumulates hard electrons, since it is an ion seeded device VS stripping electrons out of a dielectric media (wimshurst). The Swiss ML converter works on the principle that I will Now describe. I built a typical MHD generator channel which is like a venturi with a square cross section of one square inch on opposing sides of the square. We place a North and South pole with approximately 50,000 gauss magnetic flux density. At the adjacent sides of the square we have the current pick-up plates, at low temp I used copper. High temp applications use tungsten and ceramic construction. I built a small wind tunnel that employed a turbo fan that moved the air around the closed circuit at a tremendous velocity. On the back side of the wind tunnel loop I placed an electrostatic grid sort of like a bug eater on which I put an electostatic charge (soft electrons) to be picked up by my seed material which was SODIUM POTASSIUM TARTRATE better known to non-chemists as ROCHELLE SALT. By the way, ROCHELLE SALT is the most electrically active material known in scientific circles. It can and does have the capability to carry tremendous electrostatic charges. When the electrostatically charged crystals are moved by the air currents through a very strong magnetic field the electrons are stripped out of the flow at 90 degrees to the magnetic poles an are deposited as a + or positive charge on one side of the square and a - negative charge on the opposite side of the square. With the turbo fan screaming at 12,000 RPM, dogs barking, the neighbors watched as the meters jumped off the scale with DC output at the pick-up terminals. I made a long run of the device observing the relationship between the electostatic input VS the dc output when all of a sudden my fan made some god-awful noises caused by the fact that the tartrate crystal have a melting point of 170 F and I had exceeded this temp which literally caused a meltdown within the fan. I dissassembled the device and tossed the fan into the dumpster for it was totally destroyed with melted tartrate crystal (an intercooler would have helped here). My neighbors asked what I had learned, to which I replied "A lot". D.C. Cox told me that Ion seeded devices such as Vandegraff machines accumulate hard electrons, therefore are very dangerous. The output of these machines can kill you INSTANTLY, therefore he will not even sell plans for them. On the other hand, electrostatic generators work by accumulating soft electrons, therefore are harmless in the raw form. Be careful for we now have an idea as to how to transform soft electrons into hard electrons in the form of DC current which is what is taking place in the Swiss ML converter. Page 4 Basic MHD principles are the key to this energy conversion. Due to on line time constraints( JERRY, ARE YOU READING ?) I have to end this session and pick up at a later date with the discussion of the CLEM N-MACHINE combo since JOEL brought it up. See Jerry has a program called MESS-UP which he is going to install that will allow us to word process messages at our leisure, them load them up to the board at 9600 baud which will give us all more time to exchange a great deal of knowledge. Thanks again to Joel, Bert and Jerry for their friendly support. Your friend NORM. ---------------------------------------- There has been a Reply to this message, use [+] to Read the most recent. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Vangard Note The following is a very short piece regarding an amazing energy device called the MigMa. It is being included because of its claimed overunity output. A Bulgarian-born American physicist named Joseph Maglich has invented and partially developed an atomic FUSION reactor which he calls "MigMa", which uses NON-radioactive deuterium as a fuel (available in nearly UNlimited quantities from sea water), does NOT produce radioactive waste, can be converted DIRECTLY into electricity (without energy-wasting steam turbines), and can be constructed small enough to power a house or large enough to power a city or spaceship. And UNlike the "Tokamaks" and laser fusion monstrosities that we read about, MigMa WORKS, already producing at least THREE WATTS of power for every WATT PUT IN! (New Times - 6/26/78, pages 32-40).
