Is any of this false?

This anecdote must remain unverified because the only person with first-hand knowledge about it is me, as far as I know.  I have described it to a few friends, and posted it on Mills discussion groups. Dr. Gene Mallove was rightly proud of being an engineering graduate from MIT, and having been a professor there after obtaining his doctorate from Harvard.  It was a real honor to work with him, one that was easy to forget because he was easy going, although tended toward understandable manic behavior when he thought he was onto a hot story (which was often).  After almost two dozen issues of Infinite Energy Magazine were published, with a mountain of evidence about something with such paradigm shaking possibilities, he decided that issue #24 would be a blockbuster.  He obviously had his peers at MIT in mind when he assembled it.  I remember in detail how he sent via first class mail, a copy of that issue to every person at MIT for whom he had contact ...

The March runway incursion at Laguardia

 My comment on this video. https://youtu.be/TYhksHOiPio?si=kdCIBqEuoVTGECgo I have driven various vehicles on many US airfields.  At night, it is tough.  My training was to always coordinate with AT and then visually look for traffic when crossing runways because controllers make mistakes. Transponders on ground vehicles is a fine idea, but many times, the vehicles are privately owned.  Better to have a system that requires no competence from vehicle.  I chased a contractor's truck across an airfield after instructing him to wait for me while I chained a gate.  He ignored me.   I recall when ASDE (Airport Surface Detection Equipment) was first installed.  It failed often because it must distinguish between aircraft skin and ground (not sky).  Water in liquid or solid form reflects RF, thence targets fail to have contrast (bad S/N).  A much better system was proposed in an article in an IEEE journal: "RADAR on a chip" which has since...

Are There Quantum Jumps? revisited

Google has given the world a product that gives us a fine AI tool for making knowledge accessible to large numbers of relatively uneducated people.  It is Notebook LM. One of the most intriguing things about quantum mechanics after the 1926 paper of Erwin Schodinger was how he came to see it in retrospect.  He wrote about it in a chapter of a book, What is Life? .  The chapter is Are There Quantum Jumps?.   I wrote a series of 3 articles that were published in Infinite Energy Magazine .  This series was focuses on the work of Dr. Randell Mills and his SunCell reactor in view of Schrodinger's thoughts expressed in that chapter.  The man who told me about that chapter was Dr. Hawkins Kirk, a physics professor and researcher extraordinaire.  His influence did much to bring real science into focus for me during our years of working together to try to make sense of "cold fusion" related phenomena. Notebook LM accepts a variety of files types and uses them ...

Grok likes FAA drone flight checks

Image
This is my discussion with Grok on X, pertaining to the development of an FAA drone flight check system.  Grok seemed to like the idea a lot, and agreed with my estimated savings per year of about $100,000,000.  DOGE, unfortunately, has shown no interest.  YET.  I guess it's just too trivial of an expense for them.  My earlier post is found here .

An Open Letter to Dr. Randell Mills

 Dear Dr. Mills, Congratulations with the remarkable progress you have made with the SunCell.  You have obviously been working very hard and the rug-pull of getting evicted from NJ (the move alone was bad enough) months prior to lease termination had to be really tough, but you pulled through it well. This is being written a few days after the 2025 Shareholder Meeting .  From some conversation with others and comments during the meeting, it seems that there is frustration with the lack of recent quantitative data from the SunCell, which I share.  This is likely caused by the fact that your lab work has been halted by the grinding labor of relocating.   I am a degreed electrical engineer.  I worked for Dr. Eugene Mallove, who held a strong interest in your work.  The focus of my work was laboratory investigation of anomalous energy claims, so my experience may offer direct suggestions for you, despite that you are a far greater scientist than I wil...

What is the mission of the US Patent Office?

 A recurring theme in my blogging is that people tend to have unexamined assumptions about what creates business success.  I know I have.   With the right unconscious assumptions, Mills is easily rejected.  It is easy to believe that if Mills is correct, this would be easily determined by observation and once observed by credible people, word would spread and business success would be his.  What are the assumptions built into this belief structure that supports rejecting Mills? Building the better mousetrap might result in a profitable business, but more likely, it will result in others copying it.  Patents were invented because the founders of the US wanted citizens to be able to claim the fruits of their own minds to have defensible economic value, if they met certain criteria.  The history of the development of patent law reveals that those criteria are not easily determined or fixed in time.  I am not a patent expert, although I did study...

Who is Marc Andreessen?

Marc Andreessen is one of the earliest tech entrepreneurs of the information age, a Democrat and major league venture capitalist.  His many successes give reason to take his thoughts very seriously.  He has been quite skilled at recognizing value in the complex and competitive emerging fields.  Did all that recently change?  Probably not. This recent ZeroHedge article about a Joe Rogan interview of Andreessen is focused on the statements from Andreessen about meetings in Spring of 2024 with Biden officials.  Andreessen is influential for obvious reasons, besides being a fountain of capital to fuel the aspirations of tech innovators.  Influential people are those with whom politicians want to somehow join forces.  In this case, it backfired because of the policy that shocked Andreessen concerning startup businesses, which have been his 'bread and butter'. How does this differ from a merchant being approached by a mob made man who makes him 'an offer ...
