Back on the original topic (Sam Leach's over unity plasma steam device) have
|
|
you found any info on this? Something ominous is brewing here in Canada. The
|
|
company that bought this thing from Leach is speaking of an imminent news
|
|
release or conference at the end of this month where they will demonstrate the
|
|
production prototype that they paid 130k$ for. I spoke with the company pres.
|
|
and she seems to be excited on the border of fear for what this thing is going
|
|
to do. She claims there will be no question about the validity of the device
|
|
after their release.
|
|
|
|
This Leach guy seems to have a pretty good record according to her. He held a
|
|
patent on the original 3d process for movies and did quite well when he sold
|
|
it to Eastman. He's no spring chicken apparently and just wants to see this
|
|
invention in the hands of someone who will run with it.
|
|
|
|
Apparently, they are real concerned about Mr. Leach's safety. He's under 24
|
|
hour guard. This is starting to sound like a B-movie! I'll try to keep you
|
|
posted as this thing develops.
|
|
|
|

I have not even had a chance to investigate. You seem to have learned a lot.
|
|
If you communicate with these people, let me make a suggestion. Based upon
|
|
what I have seen and heard, talking to the leading people in this field, the
|
|
cost of the bodyguards is money well spent. It may sound like a B grade movie
|
|
and pure paranoia, but I think it is a darn good idea. I am sure they have
|
|
their reasons and suspicions and I expect those suspicions are justified.

Subj: LOOSE END
|

Chris,
|
|
|
|
Sorry to pester you again, but here's another "loose end" to ponder in the
|
|
following message forwarded from the sci.physics newsgroup.

That's ok...at least your flame is polite :-)

>Exactly what part of this description implies the presence of excess energy
|

production?
|
|
|
|
No part of the patent information infers any sort of excess energy or unusual
|
|
phenomenon at all. However, the Canadian rights were recently acquired by a
|
|
group in Vancouver, and they are listed on the TSE. There was a brief blurb
|
|
in the Globe and Mail recently, and they mentioned things like "closed loop
|
|
operation ...no fossil fuel required...only uses small amounts of water" The
|
|
only phrase they didn't use was "perpetual motion" They also said that
|
|
investors are not responding, which really comes as no surprise considering
|
|
the rather incredible claim.
|
|
|
|
> A tremendous amount of energy is poured into the plasma by the electric arc.
|
|
This dissociates the molecules and ionizes the atoms. When the atoms
|
|
restablize and the molecules recombine, that energy is returned as heat and
|
|
light. The presence of water vapor or liquid in this formulation changes
|
|
nothing as far as I can see. I'm not sure what determines the "temperature"
|
|
of the arc, but as long as an arc persists, the process that I described
|
|
goes on.
|
|
> The presence of an "electrolyte" in the water is completely irrelevant, as
|
|
an electrolyte is of interest only in the context of electrical conduction
|
|
in a water solution, and I realize that, and I'm sure that's why he adds the
|
|
electrolye. The arc he talks about is over 7 inches [long] and the voltages
|
|
are only in the 2kV range, so he would need something to encourage
|
|
conduction.
|
|
|
|
> has no effect in a plasma, where any liquid water is quickly vaporized (and
|
|
dissociated and ionized).
|
|
> So again, my question is: why do you think something unusual is happening
|
|
here?> >Dave>
|
|
|
|
The only reason why I would even consider the possibility of something unusual
|
|
here stems from something I recall Harold Puthoff (see the thread on amazing
|
|
lightness in this conference) once suggested tapping energy from the vacuum
|
|
(30 seconds allowed for laughter to subside). He suggested that devices
|
|
employing cold plasma streams might exhibit vacuum energy effects, via the
|
|
"Casimir pinch" effect. I don't believe this inventor is making any ZPE
|
|
claims, but I couldn't help but notice the coincidence. So now I am just
|
|
fishing for any info on this inventor, to see if any similar
|
|
claims/suggestions have surfaced down south.
|

....

The developing story on the Leach device here in Canada is interesting, since
|
|
this is a company with public stock offerings, and some respectable papers
|
|
have covered it, although interestingly (and undertandably) the market is not
|
|
responding. These are still penny stocks...likely the biggest bargain of the
|
|
century if they can deliver. I spoke with the company CEO and they seem
|
|
entirely serious and confident in the technology, although they can't
|
|
understand Leach's explanations. I asked them if Leach ever mentioned ZPE or
|
|
vacuum energy, but they have never even heard the term.
|
|
|
|
I picked up a copy of his patent. He was careful not to say anything relating
|
|
to OU energy production in the claims. Interestingly, it is a plasma device,
|
|
utilizing water injection which breaks down in the electric arc, so the plasma
|
|
is a soup of hydrogen, oxygen and free electrons. I will be following the
|
|
development of the Leach device very closely and keep you posted.
