"But the first atomic pile used to enrich uranium was built in 1942, and demonstrated proof of concept, even before the first atomic bomb was detonated at the Trinity test site in 1945. That means actual proof, Parallel. Not just unsubstantiated…"

A dog? There has been a mangy cur in this story since the beginning. Not to mention a (dwindlng) few rabid animals who still think this isn't a hoax!

Lensman replied to jimbobway's discussion New Wind Tech Claims 600% Better Performance than Traditional Wind Tech (Awesome Pic In Link)"Space is certainly a constraint. How important that is depends on the cost of real estate where it's being installed. There is plenty of "wilderness" area left in most countries, so I don't personally see that as being all…"
Lensman replied to jimbobway's discussion New Wind Tech Claims 600% Better Performance than Traditional Wind Tech (Awesome Pic In Link)"You can't. That's the point. Whether they're comparing apples to oranges, or apple cores to whole apples, either way it's not a meaningful comparison. The press release claims their system produces "600% more electrical…"
Lensman replied to Futureman's discussion LENR or "Cold Fusion" Thread"Parallel: You are the one who mixed up Bushnell's position of a chief scientist at NASA (one of several) with the position of "NASA Chief Scientist". Not Y_Po.
Do we need to type more slowly so you will understand?"
Lensman replied to Futureman's discussion LENR or "Cold Fusion" Thread"I see you quoted from the Wikipedia entry on "NASA Chief Scientist". If you had bothered to look further down in the same article, you'll see that the position is only held by one person at a time, and Bushnell has never held that…"
Lensman replied to Futureman's discussion LENR or "Cold Fusion" Thread"Then it seems odd, from the Believer viewpoint, that no real person has actually bought one of these working perpetual motion machines. You'd think people would be fighting to get to the head of the line!

Lensman replied to jimbobway's discussion New Wind Tech Claims 600% Better Performance than Traditional Wind Tech (Awesome Pic In Link)"Thanks for the correction. So they are using a turbine with blade shapes designed for use in a shrouded turbine, in a non-shrouded configuration, as a comparison. Well, that would certainly make it easier to get to that 500% improvement figure! A…"

Lensman replied to jimbobway's discussion New Wind Tech Claims 600% Better Performance than Traditional Wind Tech (Awesome Pic In Link)"
The claims are not "dishonest" because of the size, or at least not merely (or even primarily) because of the size differences. They are dishonest because:
1. The press release claims a 600% improvement over existing wind…"
Lensman replied to student's discussion Plug-in Panamera rumored to get 78 MPG"
It is not I who considers the Panamera Diesel to be underperforming for a Porsche, 50-cent-student. It's the car reviewers who do.

Lensman replied to jimbobway's discussion New Wind Tech Claims 600% Better Performance than Traditional Wind Tech (Awesome Pic In Link)"I think it's safe to say that if it was that easy to get significantly greater efficiency from a wind turbine at comparable cost-- or even cheaper, as the press release claims-- then that type of system would already be in widespread…"
Lensman replied to jimbobway's discussion New Wind Tech Claims 600% Better Performance than Traditional Wind Tech (Awesome Pic In Link)"Look at the press release that's on the company website. Skimming thru it, it looks to me like every claim in the article is taken directly from the press release.
It certainly is dishonest to claim a 600% improvement over standard…"
Lensman replied to jimbobway's discussion New Wind Tech Claims 600% Better Performance than Traditional Wind Tech (Awesome Pic In Link)"I believe I've seen similarly misleading claims before, for a similar system. I don't know that this is a scam, but they are certainly hyping the numbers!

DowntoEEarth said… Lens, I have been hitting gas stations for 50 years. They were there, they were dependable, and they were reasonably cheap for the fuel and service they provided. I am all for the change to EV's, which will take time and cost me about $700 to set up a 220v plug/charging station in my garage.
I could never complain about the job the oil industry has done to improve the growth and opportunity to get ahead in this USA. In essence drilling is mining and is fairly labor intensive providing jobs for all sorts of support and technical industries not to mention the high paying jobs to refine and process petroleum into finished products. They may have been forced to clean their act up, but they have done so and should continue, but to brush aside a great industry that has made this country great is hogwash. You protest too much about things that will surely change in time without your or anyone's pushing. Canada and the US owe many of the best jobs still available to the oil and chemical industry. I hope so, but I am not so confident the EESU will provide the number of jobs we need for some time. To be cost effective, the EESU will likely be built with considerable automation, which does not put people to work. I assume the jobs will come from the new products that will be made using this device. Let us hope so anyway. Then DW can truly save future generations of our young folks, provide manufacturing jobs and save the USA.
