00:00:01 Does everyone know that there is an exhibit room?
00:00:03 We put a sign outside last night.
00:00:07 The exhibit room is the Maryland room.
00:00:09 Maryland room off to your right, top of the stairs, that's the exhibit room.
00:00:13 And the bookstore is in the New Jersey room.
00:00:16 The New Jersey room is way down that way.
00:00:18 Almost at the far end.
00:00:21 Yeah, upstairs.
00:00:23 Both exhibit and bookstores are upstairs.
00:00:30 I'll talk to you later.
00:00:52 Great.
00:00:53 Hey, the slides look good.
00:00:58 Go for a little bit bigger.
00:01:05 Would it help if the lights are turned down a little bit, too?
00:01:08 Okay.
00:01:09 Now, you can check with Al.
00:01:10 He's our cameraman right back there.
00:01:13 Because certainly he can make that happen for you.
00:01:17 If you want to do it now, it would probably be a good idea.
00:01:19 I'll just reach out and ground down.
00:01:22 Okay.
00:01:23 Yeah, he's trying to hook up the PA.
00:01:26 Al, do you want the lights turned down as well?
00:01:29 Lights are okay for this?
00:01:31 Okay.
00:01:32 All righty.
00:01:36 Should I be using this mic?
00:01:37 Yeah.
00:01:38 Oh, good.
00:01:39 Okay, we got something.
00:01:40 Yay, great.
00:01:41 Good morning, everybody.
00:01:43 Is everyone awake and ready?
00:01:45 Yay.
00:01:47 We're now electrified.
00:01:49 We now have some energy.
00:01:52 First of all, I wanted to acknowledge, welcome everybody here.
00:01:55 Thank you for all the sacrifices you've made to come here on a weekday.
00:01:58 And I want to acknowledge our sponsors who have made it possible for us to have this event.
00:02:03 First of all, Infinite Energy Magazine and Dr. Gene Maloff.
00:02:06 We owe a debt of gratitude to him, without whom we could not have had this event.
00:02:11 And also Coherent Communications and the Alternate Energy Institute.
00:02:18 This looks like it's working so well.
00:02:20 I'm going to try the stand-up here.
00:02:24 And with that brief acknowledgment of our sponsorship.
00:02:28 Whoops.
00:02:30 Oh, you did it?
00:02:31 Okay.
00:02:32 Great.
00:02:33 It looks like I can leave that there and maybe you can hear me.
00:02:35 Everyone can hear us?
00:02:36 Good.
00:02:37 Yay.
00:02:40 I'll give a brief introduction and then go right into the first speaker.
00:02:44 So we'll be pretty much on time.
00:02:46 And basically what we have is a format that is 45 minutes of lecture, five minutes of question and answer.
00:02:53 We're going to cut it off exactly as the schedule is and try to start the next speaker ten minutes later.
00:02:59 I wanted to give an overview of future energy equaling free energy.
00:03:05 A book called Energy in Überfluss is the name of a German book that describes our free energy movement.
00:03:12 It was written about ten years ago, published in Germany.
00:03:16 There's also about a half a dozen review copies of various free energy texts,
00:03:22 including the 1989 proceedings of the Swiss Association for Free Energy.
00:03:28 This is a worldwide movement.
00:03:29 It's happening in many countries throughout the world.
00:03:32 And the United States has actually never had a free energy conference.
00:03:37 I tried.
00:03:38 The history of the COFI conference is out there if you want to see the itinerary of how we struggled with it.
00:03:44 But future energy is now our calling card.
00:03:47 And basically this movement summarizes, the book that I'm referring to summarizes,
00:03:52 what now amounts to a hundred-year effort by various people, including Nikola Tesla.
00:03:58 And his effort and others were to deliver free energy to the world.
00:04:03 How many people have heard of the Wardenclyffe Tower?
00:04:06 Wardenclyffe Tower, Long Island?
00:04:08 Great, we've got a good crowd.
00:04:09 It's over half.
00:04:11 The legacy and the politics of this project that Wardenclyffe Tower refers to,
00:04:16 between J.P. Morgan and Nikola Tesla, epitomizes the energy problems of the 20th century.
00:04:22 If you want, we will have the ongoing videos in the book room, including the Tesla video,
00:04:29 which is a short one produced by the Tesla Memorial Society.
00:04:33 And there you can see the actual history that Tesla went through,
00:04:38 fighting with J.P. Morgan, J.P. basically saying,
00:04:42 well, I can't put a meter on it, I'm not going to fund it,
00:04:44 and therefore we basically took a left turn into the entire electrical grid.
00:04:51 So you can see the details in that video.
00:04:54 There are several others that are important also we'll be screening.
00:04:57 Suffice it to say, we have lived under a hundred years of energy oppression,
00:05:01 requiring dire payment from each and every one of us,
00:05:03 except for the minority who found ways to disconnect from the utility grid.
00:05:08 Let me boldly assert that our state of energy mismanagement,
00:05:11 which is now as we speak overheating our planet,
00:05:15 is due to consciousness and not due to any lack of scientific research.
00:05:20 Where there is a need and a desire for a solution,
00:05:23 the means has always materialized.
00:05:26 So it is with free energy.
00:05:28 Imagine for a moment, just close your eyes and imagine,
00:05:32 it might be difficult, but try to imagine for a moment,
00:05:35 a world with abundant energy that you can use.
00:05:38 Everyone has access to as much energy as they need.
00:05:42 Small, compact energy transducers are available so cheaply
00:05:48 that the ideal of free energy, which is energy without cost,
00:05:52 is practically a reality.
00:05:55 Imagine what you could do, what you could dream of,
00:05:58 and put into motion if energy was free.
00:06:02 Just imagine this state of being, for I believe it is our future.
00:06:07 It has to be.
00:06:09 We might even be able to leave the planet.
00:06:12 We cannot survive as a species, though, if we do not liberate energy
00:06:16 from the confines of partisanship, parceling, and profiteering.
00:06:22 How many of you would like to have free energy?
00:06:26 We've got a few.
00:06:28 How many of you really want free energy?
00:06:31 Say it, we want free energy.
00:06:33 We want free energy.
00:06:35 We want free energy.
00:06:37 Okay, put a little passion into it, maybe it will happen.
00:06:41 I feel this is an important exercise in willpower,
00:06:44 because there are so many in our society who do not want free energy
00:06:48 to get to the market.
00:06:50 They actually seem to be actively opposing the efforts
00:06:54 of the noble and brilliant scientists we have gathered here today.
00:06:58 Even our government is behaving as if free energy is some type of threat.
00:07:03 This type of behavior shows that a concern for the greater good
00:07:06 that can be accomplished for our planet and its people
00:07:09 by the free energy movement is apparently not foremost to the vested interests.
00:07:15 Furthermore, you will learn today that it is very likely
00:07:18 that free energy devices are already possessed by certain sectors,
00:07:22 and are not on the market because of the alleged economic impact.
00:07:27 That's exactly what Morgan Freeman told Keno Reeves in the movie Chain Reaction.
00:07:32 Chain Reaction is one of the videos they'll be showing continually in the bookstore.
00:07:36 And his confrontation with Keno Reeves is very important,
00:07:39 because he describes the economic impact as if it's a problem.
00:07:44 So this was the first movie actually to mention free energy,
00:07:47 and I was very pleased to see it on the big screen and the politics of free energy.
00:07:53 But I want to impress upon you, and each and every one of you,
00:07:56 one message and one message only.
00:07:59 We have a social and political problem here, not a scientific one.
00:08:04 After participation in 20 years of free energy conferences,
00:08:09 I can tell you that free energy is already here at COFI.
00:08:13 Ask each of these scientists for their deliverables,
00:08:16 demand a marketable product,
00:08:18 tell your congressman to get a disclosure of covert projects.
00:08:22 The big question is whether you decide to continue to pollute your Mother Earth's atmosphere
00:08:27 with combustion exhaust,
00:08:29 or you decide to change and put your support and encouragement behind these amazing scientists
00:08:35 to realize the day when energy will be free for everyone.
00:08:39 I pray that God will bless our efforts to bring this plan forth into manifestation.
00:08:45 And I'd like to finish with the fact that it's time to wake up and smell the COFI.
00:08:53 Upstairs.
00:08:58 Upstairs in the bookstore, lots of colors too.
00:09:07 So our first speaker tonight, this morning,
00:09:10 is an inventor in the field of vacuum microelectronics,
00:09:14 charge clusters, micro-engines,
00:09:18 micro-aero-vehicles,
00:09:21 and micro-fabrication technology.
00:09:24 He has over a hundred patents,
00:09:26 including six on the latest charge cluster technology,
00:09:30 and it's my great pleasure to introduce Ken Shoulders.
00:09:34 Thank you.
00:09:40 Just leave it there, and then I'll work with this.
00:09:43 We're in for some mega-problems in speech here, I think.
00:09:47 Micro is over.
00:09:50 Let me put this in so I can get that.
00:09:57 Is that it?
00:10:00 We're going to have to run back and forth.
00:10:08 As you've been looking at the slide for some time...
00:10:24 I think I'm wired.
00:10:29 And Ken just wants this for the rest of the people in the audience.
00:10:32 We're going to have to do some switching.
00:10:34 How much wire you got?
00:10:37 You can go around the podium the other way.
00:10:47 Are we started?
00:10:51 As he said, charge clusters in action is what I work on.
00:10:56 When I thought I was going to have to discuss that with other people,
00:10:59 I couldn't help but think that it's going to sound a little funny,
00:11:02 like maybe the old days when McCarney gets up and starts talking about,
00:11:06 charge clusters in action, see them here, you know.
00:11:09 That's what's stuck,
00:11:11 because that's basically where we stand in this business.
00:11:14 A little bit on the Carney side, a little bit unbelievable.
00:11:18 This whole room understands that to their bottom line.
00:11:24 Ken, that's me, the father,
00:11:27 and Steve, my son and I, we work together.
00:11:30 We're the father and the son, and we have a holy ghost.
00:11:33 He pays the bill.
00:11:35 By name, that would be Tom Shanks.
00:11:39 Believe me, these authors are everlastingly indebted to Tom
00:11:43 for his total support.
00:11:45 Everything we do, we just feel happy that Tom's associated with us
00:11:49 and that we can do it with Tom.
00:11:52 We have a private laboratory we work in,
00:11:55 and I say we don't work in the garage, I want you to know that.
00:11:58 We work next to the garage.
00:12:02 We have a nice laboratory there,
00:12:04 and one of the neighbors came in and said,
00:12:06 what a nice laboratory we have, L-A-V-A-T-O-R-Y.
00:12:10 And I took another look at it and noted,
00:12:13 yeah, there's a lot of crap here that ought to be cleaned up.
00:12:16 Maybe he's right, he's got me pegged.
00:12:19 We do micro-engines, micro-aircraft,
00:12:23 and what I'd call fancy designs in physics,
00:12:27 with a little play on words there.
00:12:30 Fantasiful, perhaps, most people would say,
00:12:33 because what we do isn't a marketable item, therefore it can't be real.
00:12:37 So our main reason for being here today
00:12:40 is to help put some reality into some of the fantasies that we work on.
00:12:46 This reality is going to be done by you.
00:12:49 I'm here to proselytize you guys.
00:12:51 I want somebody to work on this now,
00:12:53 whereas we've been holding it very tightly up to now.
00:12:57 We have found a few things we can cut out
00:12:59 that are, in a proprietary sense, not harmful to us,
00:13:03 and things that are easy to do,
00:13:05 easy to such an extreme degree that I'd say for $60.
00:13:09 You can do everything I'll be talking about today,
00:13:12 and everything I'll be talking about is extremely unusual stuff,
00:13:16 which puts us totally in the realm of fantasy
00:13:18 as far as straight physics goes.
00:13:21 But it's doable.
00:13:23 And the key to all of this is that anything new,
00:13:28 you can't ask someone else whether it's true or not.
00:13:31 There's just no answer available if it's truly new.
00:13:35 What you have to do is answer the question for yourself.
00:13:38 So I've arranged this series of little simple experiments
00:13:42 to be so simple that if you ask me what to do,
00:13:47 I'm simply going to tell you, go do it yourself.
00:13:50 You can, if you're interested and capable.
00:13:53 It's going to show things that are outrageous,
00:13:57 and you'll say, I can't do that.
00:13:59 Well, then I say move over in the other realm of people
00:14:02 that say that all the time.
00:14:03 You'd feel much more comfortable.
00:14:05 Now we have a few little things with us.
00:14:07 I have some EV books.
00:14:09 That's sort of a background description of charge clusters
00:14:13 at a certain level of time and technique.
00:14:17 It's old, but it's still a good background thing.
00:14:20 If you insist on seeing some of the pictures that will be shown here
00:14:24 and that we attempted to print and publish,
00:14:28 you may want to get the CD-ROM that I've brought with me.
00:14:33 So we can sell a few of those,
00:14:35 and you can put them on your own computer and mess with things
00:14:37 and shove them around and magnify the pictures and look at it.
00:14:41 Now, in every new field, there seems to be a lot of new words,
00:14:46 and this is really a new field.
00:14:49 But I'm going to try to minimize the number of new words
00:14:53 and simply take some old words and bend them
00:14:55 so that they straddle across the two fields, the old and the new.
00:14:59 It makes them a little bit easier to understand and comprehend.
00:15:02 To do that, I'm going to need a glossary of terms.
00:15:08 Pull them down a little, throw them in a corner.
00:15:12 A cluster, that's a group of about 100 billion electrons that stick together,
00:15:16 and of course, everyone tells you you can't do that.
00:15:19 You make up your own mind as we go along
00:15:21 to see if there isn't something special about the way we deal with clusters
00:15:25 that makes something happen that requires them to stick together.
00:15:28 So a natural proof of sort falls out of seeing that happen here.
00:15:33 An EV is a new word that I had to tag on things
00:15:36 because we use it 100 times a day.
00:15:38 It's a Latin acronym meaning strong electrons.
00:15:42 That's what we call that cluster.
00:15:44 Now, SPARC has been known for 1,000 years, of course,
00:15:49 and been able to be investigated scientifically for at least 200 or since Faraday.
00:15:53 It's nothing but an EV in drag,
00:15:56 which to me means it's dragging a lot of pretty ions along,
00:15:59 just very fancy, it goes its way doing its thing.
00:16:02 But it's nothing but a charged cluster in there
00:16:04 with a few other probe electrons out ahead of it.
00:16:07 Every SPARC ever made has always been thus.
00:16:11 An EV is not really new, it's really very old.
00:16:15 You'll see evidence today of dual EVs.
00:16:18 That's even more astounding yet.
00:16:19 That's a pair of Siamese twins that stick together.
00:16:22 These fellows strike material,
00:16:24 and they leave an absolute deposition mark,
00:16:26 a strike mark we call it,
00:16:28 showing that they were twinned
00:16:30 and that they are bound with enormous energies
00:16:32 and that these energies are useful for us to pull out
00:16:35 and use in a variety of ways
00:16:37 in this business of trying to get to EV world.
00:16:40 I noticed somebody's already ahead of me over there.
00:16:42 It says EV.
00:16:43 Isn't that something?
00:16:44 You never can do anything original, it seems.
00:16:47 Now, strike is what an EV does to something.
00:16:50 Whenever an EV is caught, it leaves a very definite mark.
00:16:53 You'll see some pictures of these marks.
00:16:56 They are one of the telltales that the EV leaves.
00:17:01 It can either bore holes,
00:17:02 or it can leave a mark in a particular kind
00:17:05 in a particular metal,
00:17:06 and from that you can characterize this charged cluster
00:17:09 and how it occurred and when it lived,
00:17:11 where it lived, how it lived.
00:17:13 Although 20 micrometers is not a new word,
00:17:15 it's a thing that comes up so often
00:17:17 because it's the diameter of an EV
00:17:19 that we're going to be working with today here.
00:17:22 I better throw it in.
00:17:23 It's something about the quarter of the diameter of a hair.
00:17:26 I'll say 20 micrometers this, 20 micrometers that.
00:17:29 So that will serve as a kind of a new word.
00:17:32 It's a more or less quantum determined thing
00:17:35 about certain class of EVs.
00:17:37 They're all 20 micrometers.
00:17:39 A silicon carbide is a material I've chosen to work with
00:17:43 in this particular talk
00:17:45 because it's easy for you to get.
00:17:47 It's just valve gardening compound, really.
00:17:49 If you get it fine enough, you mix it with glue,
00:17:51 you get one of the amazing materials that we play with
00:17:54 that will be used over and over again
00:17:56 in many of these things that we're working on.
00:17:58 A borehole is where an EV has been.
00:18:01 They leave very distinct little beautiful 20 micrometer traces
00:18:04 when they go through something.
00:18:06 And boring, boy, they are not.
00:18:08 They do so many interesting things.
00:18:10 They just make your life great from day to day.
00:18:13 We'll be using a form of point projection microscopy.
00:18:16 That's getting cheap magnification
00:18:21 by using a point, the thing you want to magnify,
00:18:26 and then a screen to see whatever it is that goes through.
00:18:29 And by adjusting the ratio of radii between these two things,
00:18:32 you get a variety of magnifications.
00:18:34 You can work down in the submicron range.
00:18:36 You can work in almost any range.
00:18:38 So it's a very convenient, cheap method
00:18:40 of seeing some of the effects
00:18:42 and characterizing the source that this illumination came from.
00:18:46 So we're going to use it to characterize the source
00:18:49 that light comes from
00:18:51 as we are generating it in this special way with an EV.
00:18:55 Now, disruption is one of the key words in this bit of work.
00:19:00 We see an effect
00:19:02 that essentially makes atoms let loose their neighbors
00:19:04 without getting all heated up about it.
00:19:07 It is a non-thermal dissolution or melting
00:19:10 of any material I've ever run into.
00:19:12 We can totally dishevel atomic bonds in material.
00:19:17 That gives us the ability to say,
00:19:20 well, if melting points and so forth
00:19:23 are the determinant of old-time thermodynamics,
00:19:25 maybe we better readjust our views on thermodynamics
00:19:28 because something else, some other whole process,
00:19:31 does this melting for us.
00:19:36 That sounds pretty good.
00:19:38 Maybe we ought to let him do it.
00:19:42 Phase change, that solids, liquids, gases stuff,
00:19:45 that's what happens when an EV gets intermixed with material.
00:19:50 It essentially turns a solid to a liquid
00:19:52 or it can turn it to a gas.
00:19:54 It's just a phase change of the more or less normal sort.
00:19:58 We have an effect that produces microthrusters.
00:20:02 These are good for torquing off satellites,
00:20:04 readjusting their alignments and so forth
00:20:06 or a lot of other things.
00:20:07 Whenever you want to push matter around electrically,
00:20:10 these microthrusters,
00:20:11 oh, we've already lost one, got to yawn.
00:20:14 These microthrusters are really great little things
00:20:17 because they're just an electrically operated piece of material
00:20:21 by spark, if you will,
00:20:23 that projects the material to just very, very high velocities,
00:20:26 quite abnormal stuff.
00:20:29 We're going to blame a lot of the effects that we get
00:20:32 on fractional electronic charge.
00:20:34 Since Nobel Prizes were issued last year for that,
00:20:37 well, why not jump on the bandwagon?
00:20:40 Fractional microelectronic charge is nothing but broken electron.
00:20:44 Putting it back together may give you an annihilation energy kind of thing.
00:20:48 It's a form of fusion, you name it.
00:20:50 I'm not going to get into any theories.
00:20:52 All I'm trying to say is we get an effect.
00:20:54 We don't know what it's due to.
00:20:56 We're going to have to tag something.
00:20:58 I don't go the nuclear route anymore.
00:21:00 I've been disappointed there too many times
00:21:02 because in this technology we see things happening
00:21:04 that don't invoke nuclear effects.
00:21:07 At the same time, we can see that it does have the ability to do it
00:21:10 if we get it set up right.
00:21:12 So I've just had to pick a new candidate.
00:21:14 Not zero-point energy. That's old stuff, right?
00:21:17 It's fractional electronic charge that's weak.
00:21:20 With that, we can produce these things called nuclear cluster reactions.
00:21:24 We have a choice of what we do with this broken electron.
00:21:28 We do get the cause, transmutation, in these cluster reactions that we get
00:21:34 but does not produce radioactive products.
00:21:36 That's a very neat trick.
00:21:40 Are we?
00:21:42 That's a problem I have in writing this paper.
00:21:44 I do this. Steve and I, we do that.
00:21:47 Us and do something else.
00:21:49 I couldn't work it out, so I'm not very English anyway,
00:21:51 so I just let it fly.
00:21:53 We will never figure out from the writing
00:21:55 who is going to be doing what in this particular work that we're talking about here.
00:21:58 When it comes to free energy, I haven't got a clue.
00:22:01 We do things.
00:22:03 We see what we like.
00:22:05 We converge, and we make the process work better.
00:22:09 We're not going to generate any theory on it.
00:22:12 And we will be out from under all of this in some period of time.
00:22:18 We never say when because we never seem to be right about that.
00:22:22 But as life goes on, we will finish this project finally.
00:22:27 But here is a typical strike mark that you get on an aluminum foil.
00:22:32 This is just a piece of 6-micrometer-thick aluminum.
00:22:36 It's not special in any particular way,
00:22:38 although that's about half the thickness of the standard Reynolds wrap
00:22:41 that you get in the kitchen foil.
00:22:43 When you strike with one of these sparks,
00:22:46 called spark in the past, I call them EVs now,
00:22:50 you get this kind of funny thing shown on the top.
00:22:53 If you flip the foil around on the reverse side,
00:22:55 you'll see this other thing shown below.
00:22:57 There's a micron mark here.
00:22:59 That's 10 micrometers.
00:23:02 And you'll notice a couple of things.
00:23:06 That in all of this sparking that you were doing,
00:23:09 it doesn't get to scan across the surface.
00:23:11 It says, in a sense, all energy is deposited in one succinct place.
00:23:15 It is not a current stream. It never has been.
00:23:17 It's a one-cluster-clump-whack, all the charge is in that one thing.
00:23:21 So forget the old theories of how current is laid down.
00:23:25 There's no meander of a current path,
00:23:27 and we can trace that to one part in a million.
00:23:29 It just doesn't happen.
00:23:31 It comes in as a clump in the spark type of discharges we're working with.
00:23:35 Now, the range that these things can travel in metal is very short.
00:23:39 They can only go about 10 micrometers deep into metal.
00:23:42 Very short.
00:23:44 Because the metal has a huge electron supply function
00:23:46 that essentially takes apart the ability for an EV to stay organized.
00:23:50 It can't. It can't live there.
00:23:53 So it dies.
00:23:56 But I want to impress on you how long this effect has been around.
00:24:01 Faraday could have done it.
00:24:04 Something happened to the minds of men that says,
00:24:06 charge must flow in the way they say.
00:24:09 It doesn't.
00:24:11 Don't believe me. Do it.
00:24:13 We'll be showing you how you can do it yourself very easily.
00:24:17 Now, on the other hand, charge flows, this form of charge, this EV thing,
00:24:22 flows very easily through dielectrics and semiconductors.
00:24:27 If, for example, you take a pair of aluminum oxide plates,
00:24:31 make them a half millimeter thick for convenience,
00:24:34 rub the edges together, get them lapped together so that they fit pretty well,
00:24:38 put that pair of plates down on an aluminum foil,
00:24:42 just standard old Reynolds-wrapped kitchen foil,
00:24:45 maybe put some chewing gum down on it to hold them together,
00:24:48 and then take a spark from virtually any source.
00:24:50 I happen to use a little commercial sparker.
00:24:53 You can make one up using an old TV set
00:24:55 or you can use a piezoelectric spark generator out of a $1.98 cigarette lighter.
00:25:01 Run that along the crack.
00:25:04 You'll get a series of holes. There are seven shown here.
00:25:07 In the center hole, I'll magnify here.
00:25:11 So you'll see that there's not only a bore path
00:25:14 that's formed through that aluminum oxide
00:25:17 with a melting point of over 2,000 degrees centigrade,
00:25:20 but you'll see that the top looks very much like a flower.
00:25:25 This has to be looked at in great detail,
00:25:28 and that's one of the things that makes this paper a little hard to live with
00:25:31 on this lecture basis.
00:25:33 You have to get down and think about what you're looking at.
00:25:36 What you're looking at here is a sloshing pattern.
00:25:40 There are three distinct sloshes showing,
00:25:44 each smaller than the one preceding it and overlapping.
00:25:47 These are like a flower when you view them from the top down.
00:25:51 I'll show you a shot of that in a minute.
00:25:54 The main thing to get here is that this material was fluidized,
00:26:04 and it didn't just go to a gummy aluminum oxide, which you usually get,
00:26:08 but sloshed back and forth rapidly.
00:26:11 It was going almost at electronic rates.
00:26:14 Something may have lowered the mass.
00:26:16 That's another little thing you're going to have to look at.
00:26:18 In the presence of these charge clusters,
00:26:20 a lot of strange things happen in that direction.
00:26:23 But whatever happened, sloshing is now interesting.
00:26:28 It's not just an old slosh.
00:26:31 On the top is an optical micrograph of a slosh pattern
00:26:36 that took place in lead oxide.
00:26:39 That's a glass. It's lead glass. It's mostly lead oxide.
00:26:44 And these lines that are radial-like are not splash lines.
00:26:49 Those are drawback lines.
00:26:51 That pattern of lead oxide was spread out very thin and very, very large
00:26:56 and managed to recoalesce when this EV went back in the hole.
00:27:01 This EV went into the lead oxide glass to the anode almost on the far side,
00:27:08 came back, back in, back in, back in.
00:27:11 And normally you'd say, well, that's just sloshing.
00:27:13 But we've correlated now the sloshing with the motion of this electronic entity.
00:27:20 The electronic entity drives this material.
00:27:24 The material lags slightly behind it.
00:27:26 But either we've got ball lightning-like thing walking very slowly through
00:27:30 at the rate that ordinary matter allows,
00:27:32 or we've got something moving much more rapidly
00:27:35 than you'd normally expect material to move.
00:27:38 So this is just one of the first looks you'll get at this business of sloshing
00:27:42 and the coupling between charged, highly charged entities like these and fluid motion.
00:27:55 If you look at the lower shot, you'll notice the sloshing is reduced.
00:27:58 There's only about two cycles as opposed to three, and maybe you might call it one.
00:28:03 That's the same lead oxide, but it was terminated different on the back side.
00:28:09 We found that from even this other pattern here,
00:28:16 any of these could be reduced to reduce the amount of sloshing
00:28:19 by terminating in an impedance-matching sense electrically the exit side.
00:28:27 If we made the exit side a slight taper, the material would go through just once,
00:28:31 whack, all the way through.
00:28:33 The EV exit carried everything out with it.
00:28:35 It's all done, where on the other hand,
00:28:37 if we put an abrupt termination on it on the back side, it would oscillate.
00:28:43 Well, I've never seen that before, but it's not useful either, perhaps.
00:28:48 But it does give us some clues as to what we're going to see.
00:28:53 Here's one of those tightly bound EV pairs I was talking about, a dual EV.
00:28:57 We say that historically, and in that book we were talking about,
00:29:02 you'll see EVs actually in dual flight.
00:29:05 You'll see them bound together doing wonderful ballet movements, if you will, in vacuum.
00:29:10 But here, the fact that they were synchronously arriving
00:29:13 is indicated only by the fact that the solidification pattern is uniform.
00:29:18 This does not count. That's just an extra other shot.
00:29:21 But the pair went through exactly at the same time.
00:29:24 As a matter of fact, in many materials,
00:29:27 like in the case where we can do a cross-section of a borehole,
00:29:30 you see that this pair stayed exactly aligned,
00:29:34 didn't twist, didn't do anything funny,
00:29:36 all the way through the whole material.
00:29:38 In fact, the cusp between the two is cleanly defined.
00:29:42 Now, that is one wild statement,
00:29:44 that two charge clusters, first of all.
00:29:47 Secondly, that they pair up.
00:29:49 Now that they can go through material
00:29:51 and leave an enormously detailed pattern behind of where they were.
00:29:59 This back and forth thing is throwing me out of sync a little bit.
00:30:02 I was supposed to be running the little cursor on this,
00:30:05 but can't do that and be up there.
00:30:10 One thing we have to address here and answer,
00:30:14 and I'll leave it up to some of you guys to get your own answers,
00:30:18 is did the EV slow down and wait for all this material
00:30:21 that's pulling along behind it?
00:30:23 Or did the EV maybe lighten its load a little bit,
00:30:27 reduce the mass of some of these materials?
00:30:30 Oh, wouldn't that be a thrill for physics
00:30:32 if we could find a way to reduce mass.
00:30:34 Did I hear any UFOers arise?
00:30:36 That is a possibility,
00:30:39 because I find such a huge difference in velocities,
00:30:44 and you'll see some more of that in another illustration here,
00:30:47 that something funny is going on.
00:30:49 I haven't had time to look at that part.
00:30:51 That's something somebody else is going to have to do.
00:30:54 Now let's take that first experiment we talked about
00:30:57 where we bored some holes through dielectrics.
00:31:00 Let's add one little twist to that.
00:31:02 Let's put an aluminum foil underneath this dielectric thing
00:31:05 that we bored through.
00:31:07 The aluminum foil is going to collect the material it shot through,
00:31:11 and we're going to then take it over to the microscope
00:31:13 and take a look at it and see what we can find out
00:31:15 about that material that came through,
00:31:17 because this is fairly unusual.
00:31:22 Oops, can't point at that. It won't work.
00:31:26 So this top shot shows virtually
00:31:33 everything Maryland would need to know.
00:31:35 This is magic as far as I'm concerned.
00:31:38 That material is aluminum oxide.
00:31:40 It was deposited on a 6-micrometer-thick aluminum plate,
00:31:44 a little thin thing compared to the rest of the dimensions.
00:31:47 You can see this is 40 micrometers,
00:31:49 so its thinness is quite thin.
00:31:51 It doesn't have very high thermal conductivity with that thinness
00:31:54 and the specific heats, whatever it is.
00:31:56 So you would expect a lot of heating effect to occur.
00:31:59 It doesn't.
00:32:01 There is almost no heat rise measured at all
00:32:05 on that aluminum foil immediately on the opposite side
00:32:08 of where this big slug of aluminum oxide hit.
00:32:13 How do we know? We cheat.
00:32:15 We put little tiny bits of materials like waxes,
00:32:18 things with very low melting point,
00:32:20 a variety of evaporated materials put on there,
00:32:23 and we sense what the temperature rise is.
00:32:26 It's not enough to melt the lowest temperature wax
00:32:28 that we can keep on the darn thing.
00:32:30 So this material has been fluidized from 2,000 degrees
00:32:34 and comes down and strikes this surface.
00:32:36 It's cold.
00:32:38 Moreover, it's electrified as it can be.
00:32:41 You see these strange little lines of stuff running out
00:32:43 as if Tesla was there.
00:32:46 Well, it is.
00:32:48 It's highly different material.
00:32:50 It feathers out to an atomically thin edge almost.
00:32:53 This material does not flow like most stuff.
00:32:55 It does not ball up.
00:32:58 Yet, in the very center regions here,
00:33:01 you can see magnified there, it's consolidated.
00:33:04 It's nice stuff.
00:33:06 It's friendly with itself to a degree.
00:33:10 It has any variety of velocities available to you.
00:33:18 If you want to impact that aluminum plate
00:33:23 and essentially drive the depositing material right through it,
00:33:26 you can do that.
00:33:28 We'll show you an example in a minute.
00:33:30 Or you can do this very benign deposition.
00:33:32 It's all under electrical control.
00:33:34 You control the velocity, you control the penetration
00:33:37 and the way things are handled on the other side.
00:33:40 Now, as I was saying, this is low-temperature stuff.
00:33:46 Don't believe me.
00:33:47 Go do it yourself.
00:33:49 Do something else while you're doing it.
00:33:51 Take ordinary aluminum oxide.
00:33:53 How do you do that?
00:33:54 Well, you just boil it in a vacuum chamber.
00:33:56 Anybody can do that, right?
00:33:58 Well, we do.
00:33:59 That's a normal part of vacuum deposition of aluminum oxide.
00:34:01 We heat the stuff.
00:34:03 We get it to splatter.
00:34:04 We wish it wouldn't most of the time.
00:34:06 But the tiny splatter only needs to be a few micrometer particle.
00:34:12 When one of those little splattered particles lands
00:34:14 on this same aluminum foil that's six micrometers thick,
00:34:17 it melts in.
00:34:19 It bites.
00:34:21 It evaporates a little bit of that material,
00:34:23 and you can see a decoration around the side of it
00:34:25 where it deposited on the material.
00:34:27 This stuff doesn't.
00:34:28 That's dark as can be right there.
00:34:30 None of the stuff that went down was boiling.
00:34:33 It was just fluid.
00:34:35 Electrically fluidized, perhaps.
00:34:41 One other little surprise in that same piece of work,
00:34:46 you'll find by looking at the back side
00:34:52 that you get the same deposition pattern back there,
00:34:54 the same appearance pattern, I should say,
00:34:56 that you would get if just the EV alone had struck.
00:35:00 But this is a combination of the EV striking in the center
00:35:05 plus the fluid, the Tesla fluid.
00:35:11 I found a certain sympathy for that here.
00:35:14 Coming out of that hole that was in the center,
00:35:16 which is only about 1,000 angstroms in diameter,
00:35:18 it's a little tenth of a micrometer thing.
00:35:20 It's not hardly optical.
00:35:22 That stuff flows through it and freezes.
00:35:25 We get a strike pattern that indicates
00:35:30 the EV passed through the solid material
00:35:32 strikes the aluminum plate
00:35:33 before the aluminum oxide ever arrives,
00:35:35 and then the aluminum oxide piles down on it
00:35:38 after having been liquefied in a cold state
00:35:43 and accelerated to go to that surface.
00:35:46 That's an unusual effect.
00:35:49 Couldn't possibly do it.
00:35:50 We'll have to finish Saturday.
00:35:54 Now...
00:35:56 We have a pretty slide.
00:36:02 It's one of my favorites.
00:36:04 If you take that same aluminum foil,
00:36:06 a kitchen wrap typically one mil thick,
00:36:09 spread a gooey on the surface,
00:36:11 the gooey being silicon carbide and epoxy.
00:36:14 Spread it on about six to ten mils thick.
00:36:17 Put that down on a plate that's grounded.
00:36:21 Run the spark coil over the top.
00:36:23 And then look at it from the side view.
00:36:25 You'll get this kind of an effect.
00:36:28 This side view being the edge of the aluminum foil here.
00:36:34 You run a coil or the electrode
00:36:36 that's doing the sparking along the top.
00:36:39 You'll see some little funny plumes
00:36:40 coming through on the back side.
00:36:42 These plumes have very high velocity ejection of material.
00:36:45 In some cases, that's the ones that appear fairly long.
00:36:49 And then you'll notice plumes going out the back.
00:36:51 That's the withdrawals in the direction that the EV went in.
00:36:55 So it went in.
00:36:56 It says, uh-oh, I don't like this.
00:36:58 I'm not properly terminated.
00:37:00 And it sucked all that material back out.
00:37:03 Here's a sudden reversal of some interest
00:37:05 as far as I'm concerned because it implies a lot of things.
00:37:09 One, the EV walked right through that material
00:37:12 two ways without hardly caring.
00:37:15 It does impart a lot of momentum to the silicon carbide.
00:37:18 But there are some little regions here
00:37:20 that you don't see the little sharp blue lines.
00:37:22 You don't see the energy effect.
00:37:25 You don't see the spray of silicon carbide coming out.
00:37:32 Take a closer look.
00:37:33 Of course, you're going to have an electron microscope
00:37:35 in your basement, I'm sure, like I do.
00:37:38 This is the entry side of one of those things.
00:37:40 It's a neat little borehole going through
00:37:43 if it doesn't come back out.
00:37:45 This paper and all this dross,
00:37:47 this material that's scattered here
00:37:49 is a result of the EV roaring back out.
00:37:52 When we use a soft plastic like five-minute epoxy
00:37:55 to do this job, it doesn't put that little edge on.
00:37:58 It tapers it the other way.
00:38:00 It's a cusp coming out.
00:38:01 It's dragging.
00:38:02 You can't break it by fracturing it.
00:38:04 So it just pulls it out and leaves.
00:38:06 The material goes on.
00:38:08 This is the side where the aluminum is on.
00:38:11 It's cut a moderately clean borehole.
00:38:13 I had to take a fairly dirty one
00:38:14 just to show you which way the things were going.
00:38:16 There actually are kind of going out.
00:38:18 But if I didn't pick this one specially,
00:38:20 you'd find just the cleanest little cut on that aluminum
00:38:23 of a quarter of the diameter of a hair,
00:38:27 made quite naturally.
00:38:32 If you take an aluminum foil that's clean
00:38:35 and stick underneath this layer of aluminum foil
00:38:39 with the silicon carbide on it
00:38:41 and spark again on the top
00:38:42 and try to catch that stuff,
00:38:44 like we did the aluminum oxide,
00:38:46 one of the variations
00:38:47 produces this enormously high-energy deposit.
00:38:50 The stuff that came down here
00:38:51 penetrates about 20 micrometers into the aluminum foil.
00:38:55 It's really toehold in there.
00:38:57 The stuff has a splatter characteristic,
00:39:00 but it's a strange one.
00:39:01 Nothing comes up.
00:39:02 Everything splatters sideways,
00:39:03 just like that lead oxide thing.
00:39:05 It's spread out so violently and then retracted.
00:39:09 As opposed to this relatively benign deposit
00:39:12 of aluminum oxide on the bottom
00:39:14 that you saw earlier.
00:39:16 Now, I like to make little engines.
00:39:19 Little engines love great materials like silicon carbide.
00:39:22 So this is a fine-deposition process.
00:39:24 This is a thing that we can use sparks
00:39:26 to deposit on unusual shapes.
00:39:28 Of course, you have to go one on top of the other
00:39:31 and just keep building up patterns
00:39:32 as if you were spraying.
00:39:34 But it is a fairly high-deposition rate process
00:39:37 and produces some nanocrystalline properties
00:39:39 and materials that are exotic.
00:39:41 Let's say the least.
00:39:42 We can just about do anything that there is to be done
00:39:45 except pure metals.
00:39:46 That's a no-no.
00:39:50 You get about 10 to the 13th atoms per shot
00:39:52 by this process,
00:39:54 and you do get some of these beautiful
00:39:56 nanocrystalline properties
00:39:57 that are supposed to be the hallmark
00:39:59 of great materials these days.
00:40:00 Got another yawn.
00:40:01 I must be done.
00:40:04 If you don't catch the stuff,
00:40:06 if you just shoot it right straight out into space,
00:40:09 you'll notice some interesting numbers.
00:40:11 A slug of material, again, about 10 to the 13th atoms.
00:40:14 You'll see if you look sideways at these little guys,
00:40:17 little shock cones.
00:40:18 They're spaced about every 3,000ths of an inch,
00:40:20 70 micrometers or so.
00:40:21 Now, that is roaring.
00:40:23 Shock cones are normally, you know, jets, quite large.
00:40:26 Rockets, slightly smaller.
00:40:29 I could put numbers to things like this.
00:40:31 I would come up with such extraordinary numbers.
00:40:33 I'm sure you wouldn't want to believe it,
00:40:34 but to be fair,
00:40:36 to do a shock cone calculation,
00:40:38 you're supposed to know something about the properties
00:40:40 of the fluid you're working with,
00:40:42 and that is one of the variables here.
00:40:44 We don't know what the properties of that fluid is
00:40:46 in this state for a moment.
00:40:48 It could be quite exceptional.
00:40:49 Nevertheless, when we measure things in vacuum
00:40:53 with a little bit different source
00:40:55 than what we've talked about,
00:40:57 it takes about 50 nanoseconds to travel a centimeter.
00:41:00 Now, that's a high velocity.
00:41:02 I'm going to let you put the numbers on it
00:41:04 because if I were to put the numbers on it,
00:41:06 to me, like they did to those guys from Utah,
00:41:08 you know, they gave them sort of a vacation in France
00:41:10 for a while.
00:41:12 Don't want to do that.
00:41:13 However, the xenon cluster work reported
00:41:16 by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory guys
00:41:18 say that if they take a cluster of xenon,
00:41:21 shoot a few cycles of laser light at it,
00:41:24 one volt,
00:41:25 they get megavolts energies of explosion.
00:41:28 Only five?
00:41:29 Well, not a difference.
00:41:34 Now, that's funny to me
00:41:35 because here these guys come along
00:41:36 and say, well, they get megavolts,
00:41:37 they get neutrons,
00:41:38 they get all of the reactions
00:41:39 with a one megabuck tabletop hood head,
00:41:43 and they do it with one volt photons.
00:41:45 They don't get sent to Albania.
00:41:47 Now, that's not fair, you know?
00:41:50 But all right.
00:41:51 Somebody here has to do this enough times,
00:41:53 get enough reportings, I guess,
00:41:55 to finally become believable
00:41:57 to say that, yes, these velocities
00:41:59 in the megavolt equivalent energy range
00:42:01 are available with just volts in.
00:42:04 And that's what this whole argument's about.
00:42:06 The believability line separates
00:42:08 in whether it takes megavolts to do it,
00:42:10 apply it, or whether you can do it
00:42:11 with something coherent,
00:42:13 dense energy form,
00:42:14 which these things are.
00:42:18 Now,
00:42:21 this is a complicated issue.
00:42:23 If I don't get through it,
00:42:24 I'm not too surprised.
00:42:26 If you take and put underneath
00:42:28 this aluminum foil,
00:42:31 silicon carbide-coated mess,
00:42:34 a sensitive photo film
00:42:36 instead of an aluminum foil,
00:42:38 don't try to collect the garbage
00:42:39 that shot through.
00:42:40 Collect the light instead.
00:42:42 Do one other little trick.
00:42:43 In a particular region here,
00:42:45 so put a 200-mesh grid,
00:42:49 a screen grid,
00:42:50 so that you'll have some solid object
00:42:52 in there that you can say,
00:42:53 well, a point light came in here,
00:42:55 or some light, we don't know yet,
00:42:57 and imaged itself on this screen,
00:42:59 and then it got,
00:43:00 the photons were collected on the film,
00:43:03 just plain old 35-millimeter film,
00:43:05 which anybody can get
00:43:06 at drugstore stuff.
00:43:08 Then we'll get an image
00:43:09 that has some of these characteristics.
00:43:11 We'll have a region one
00:43:12 and a region two,
00:43:13 which we'll magnify in a minute,
00:43:14 but I want to break this
00:43:15 into two major considerations.
00:43:17 This region has no particles.
00:43:20 These have particles.
00:43:22 Now, the funny thing
00:43:23 about the particles is
00:43:24 they can strike that gelatin,
00:43:26 which is a very wet, nasty material.
00:43:30 The particles can run
00:43:31 and shoot sideways.
00:43:32 They stay right on the gelatin.
00:43:34 They come to a halt.
00:43:35 They actually stop.
00:43:37 They're emitting light
00:43:38 all the time they go,
00:43:40 and when they stop,
00:43:41 they don't even boil enough
00:43:43 to be popped off of the surface.
00:43:45 Everything else I've ever done in life,
00:43:47 when you have a hot particle
00:43:48 run across gelatin
00:43:49 and it gets near slow, boom.
00:43:51 The steam just blows it right off.
00:43:53 They don't do that here.
00:43:55 These particles are emitting light,
00:43:58 but no heat seems
00:43:59 to be coming out of them.
00:44:00 That's just another way
00:44:01 of helping to correlate
00:44:02 to the crazy thoughts
00:44:03 put out earlier.
00:44:05 This...
00:44:09 Ah, I lost one for sure.
00:44:10 There he went.
00:44:12 This beam of light
00:44:15 that we're talking about
00:44:18 essentially comes out
00:44:19 of each one of these
00:44:20 little bore holes
00:44:21 that we showed you
00:44:23 some pictures of.
00:44:24 The beam of light
00:44:25 is not a cosine shape
00:44:27 or anything.
00:44:28 It's a very, very
00:44:29 highly channeled
00:44:30 beam of light.
00:44:31 It has an angle
00:44:32 of not much more
00:44:33 than a fraction of a degree.
00:44:34 Now you'll see it scattering
00:44:35 on a variety of things,
00:44:36 and many of the patterns
00:44:37 that you'll get
00:44:38 in the point projection mode,
00:44:39 which are shown here,
00:44:41 these are the magnifications
00:44:42 of the two regions
00:44:43 I talked about earlier.
00:44:45 You'll see these
00:44:46 little tiny grids
00:44:48 magnified,
00:44:49 some cleanly,
00:44:50 some not so cleanly,
00:44:51 depending on the details
00:44:52 of the source.
00:44:53 But if you get down
00:44:54 and look at what
00:44:55 projection microscopy
00:44:56 allows you to do,
00:44:57 it will allow you to assess
00:44:59 the size of that light source
00:45:01 and its position.
00:45:02 From all of this kind of data,
00:45:04 you can conclude,
00:45:05 and remember,
00:45:06 we're only skimming
00:45:07 over the top.
00:45:08 Saturday we can get
00:45:09 into the details.
00:45:10 You can only conclude that,
00:45:11 well, this is a point
00:45:12 source of light.
00:45:13 It's not a rod-like source,
00:45:14 otherwise it would have
00:45:15 blurred out some
00:45:16 of these images.
00:45:17 It had many magnifications.
00:45:18 It occurs either closer
00:45:20 or further from
00:45:21 one of these things,
00:45:22 and it has spatial resolutions
00:45:24 in both aerial and length
00:45:27 that are not greater
00:45:28 than about 5 micrometers.
00:45:30 That's as opposed
00:45:31 to 20 micrometers
00:45:32 for the hole that was
00:45:33 cut in this thing.
00:45:34 And they don't happen
00:45:35 just at the hole.
00:45:36 They happen out in space.
00:45:38 Kind of interesting.
00:45:46 I'd be lucky.
00:45:49 Now, again,
00:45:51 here's one of those
00:45:52 little balls of stuff
00:45:53 that ran up to a stop
00:45:54 and quit.
00:45:55 Here's that grid
00:45:56 we were talking about earlier.
00:45:57 And these are just
00:45:58 some of the little specks
00:45:59 of dirt that show
00:46:00 on the surface
00:46:01 that will help you
00:46:02 formulate how big
00:46:04 was that spot.
00:46:05 Now, here's where you need
00:46:06 the CD-ROM to actually
00:46:07 see what's going on,
00:46:08 or you need to do it yourself.
00:46:10 But with ordinary photography,
00:46:11 you can see,
00:46:13 you can arrive at a conclusion
00:46:14 about how large
00:46:15 was this spot.
00:46:17 And that's important
00:46:18 as far as I'm concerned.
00:46:21 Generally, in the spots
00:46:22 that we deal with
00:46:23 in this,
00:46:24 we don't get anything
00:46:26 shorter in wavelength
00:46:27 than UV.
00:46:28 There are some photos,
00:46:30 one or two of these
00:46:31 little things,
00:46:32 that show that we're
00:46:33 penetrating the copper mask.
00:46:34 So there's a little
00:46:35 X-ray there.
00:46:36 We basically get coverage
00:46:37 of the energy spectrum,
00:46:38 we say,
00:46:39 if this is synchrotron
00:46:41 radiation,
00:46:43 by the stopping rate
00:46:45 of that charge cluster
00:46:46 that's coming in.
00:46:47 If it comes in
00:46:48 and stops quickly
00:46:49 and leaves,
00:46:50 X-ray,
00:46:51 if it stops slowly
00:46:52 through some of these
00:46:53 large structures we're using,
00:46:54 gradually re-accelerates,
00:46:56 you get visible light
00:46:57 and UV only.
00:46:58 So you'd expect
00:46:59 to have photons
00:47:01 produced by a
00:47:02 synchrotron chirping
00:47:04 type of mechanism.
00:47:05 You would expect
00:47:06 a kind of broad spectrum
00:47:07 from this.
00:47:09 You go find out
00:47:10 what the spectrum is.
00:47:11 It's easy to do,
00:47:12 you just stick in
00:47:13 different filters
00:47:14 in between the light source
00:47:15 and the target
00:47:16 that you're going to use
00:47:17 for a detector.
00:47:18 If you want a higher
00:47:20 wavelength,
00:47:21 shorter wavelengths,
00:47:22 you stop more suddenly.
00:47:24 You just run an EV
00:47:25 into a massive target
00:47:26 of metal.
00:47:27 Bingo, you'll get X-rays.
00:47:29 Copious emission
00:47:30 from just one
00:47:31 cluster of EVs
00:47:32 will do that.
00:47:33 It'll tear up the target.
00:47:35 If you really want
00:47:36 short emission,
00:47:37 go to
00:47:39 colliding EVs.
00:47:41 Now these guys
00:47:42 can get very fierce,
00:47:43 especially when they're small.
00:47:45 The smallest ones
00:47:46 we can easily work with
00:47:47 are like those duels.
00:47:49 The duels can be made
00:47:50 to fight each other
00:47:51 under certain conditions,
00:47:53 and in that case
00:47:54 you get gamma emissions.
00:47:56 We get it occasionally,
00:47:57 accidentally.
00:47:58 I've seen gamma emissions
00:47:59 reported by many people
00:48:00 in the fringe communities
00:48:02 from apparatus
00:48:03 that shouldn't do it.
00:48:04 It will do it.
00:48:05 With charged clusters
00:48:06 you can get gammas out
00:48:08 under certain conditions.
00:48:09 It doesn't take
00:48:10 megavolts in.
00:48:12 It just takes
00:48:13 at the most
00:48:14 a few hundred volts in
00:48:15 to do it.
00:48:19 If you
00:48:21 trick the substrate,
00:48:22 if you take a
00:48:23 metallic substrate
00:48:24 that has been
00:48:25 loaded with
00:48:26 typically hydrogen,
00:48:27 something to
00:48:28 embrittle it,
00:48:29 you can do this with
00:48:30 palladium, nickel,
00:48:31 titanium, a variety
00:48:32 of materials.
00:48:33 If you make that
00:48:34 strained
00:48:35 from hydrogen
00:48:36 embrittlement,
00:48:37 and if you
00:48:38 crack an EV,
00:48:39 a large one,
00:48:40 into that,
00:48:41 you get a very
00:48:42 high yield
00:48:43 that is
00:48:44 80 or 90 percent
00:48:45 of the shots at least,
00:48:46 will produce
00:48:47 transmuted materials.
00:48:49 In this particular example
00:48:50 taken from a paper
00:48:51 we gave about
00:48:52 three years ago.
