I don't recall seeing anything positive from chef boyrdee when I sent
in the Minto wheel construction details URL which he thinks
is 'promotion'...

yep, thats why they are posted FREE for anyone to use....but then
again, its not HIS theories......but something that WORKS and got
worldwide coverage from the real inventor, Wally Minto...

I certainly plan to build one and try it here in Mexico where the
temperature averages 78 degrees F. year round during the day and goes
down to about 50 at night during winter (like now)...

I think I speak for the group here.

SHUT UP  Nobody wants to here it.  Nobody wants to read it.  If a mistake
was made then deal with it.. It happens.  Flaming email that contains
disrespectful monikers have no place in this calm peaceful group.

This is a group of scientists and engenders who actually get results.  If
you have valid ideas to discuss or real results to post then feel
free.  Otherwise if you feel you have to duke it out then please do it off
list!

The good old boy system at work, quote;

"This discussion group is for people who know that it is possible to
convert existing ambient temperature heat energy into work."
--------------------------
What an interesting double standard for those living in glass houses
and talking through their 'hats', check these out, and there are
others I've not included,

its ok for Ford and Cantrell to post whatever they like when they
like, but I post it and they pitch a fit.

Ford post about Dennis Lees arrest and con, same as MY POST about Baps
con;

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AMBIENTENERGY/message/332
----------------------------
Cantrell followup on Lees con, ok for him and Ford but not me???
Telling, isn't it?;

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AMBIENTENERGY/message/333
----------------------------
And what do the following have to do with converting ambient
temperature into work?  This is selective discrimination based on
irrational thinking, so be it, buy BAPs CDs and wait until Ford or
Cantrell warn you, off topic of course, but then again, its fine for
them to do it and cast aspersions about things they know nothing
about.

For the grownups, the word is properly spelled BANNED....if you refer
to Beaty's list he asked me to rejoin, I declined because of such
selective moderation as allowing BAP to post whatever he wished and
similar to what you are attempting as your own history shows two faced
irrational behavior.

I don't think gadolinium's operating range is cold enough for food
preservation.
We were looking at it to cool avionics over 10 years ago.
At that time it was $200 a pound. Compared to $30 a gram at lab supply
companies that is a lot cheaper.
Gadolinium is pretty reactive. You would have to plate something over it to
protect it from oxygen and water.

Kirk:

Yes.  In the case of the video head it is coated with acrylic.


Another thought is that the ultimate final cooling medium is
air.  Why not go direct?  Skip the losses of moving that water
around.  Plus I was thinking that maybe they are approaching it
all wrong.  Recycle hard disk plates. :-)  They are already
built into the right shape.

I think the best method is a hot side and a cold side, the material inside
in a vacuum.
A box shaped like a book with the gadolinium visiting the cover then the
back.
If you expose it to air a metal would be the best coating.
needs to be thick enough that you don't get a hole.
It will self destruct if you do.
Gadolinium is shipped in argon.

Unfortunately it is not. :-(  Although it seems to have an
energy gain all of the output energy is explained by the input.

A little logic and some plain old accounting would prove this
true.  However.

Say you start with ambient air and extract from that air by
cooling a constant 1000W.  Your energy cost (assuming 70%
efficiency) would be about 1300W.  The output heat would of
course be 2300W  (good accounting)

Now if you could use this output at a greater efficiency than
is allowed (say 70%) then you built an apparent perpetuator.
You would be extracting something on the order of 1600W
(without actually doing the math) offering you an apparent
overage of 300W.

This is why we all like to believe :-)

Now here is the problem.  The best best best use of the heat
that can be achieved is only 50% (there are physical and
mathematical reasons for this)

Now lets re-do the experiment with this knowledge.
1000W extraction at 70% efficiency the consumption will be
1300W and the output will be 2300W  (ain't that cheerful)

Now if 2300W can be converted into usable energy at 50% so you
can actually use 1150W  leavin yall about 150W in the ditch.
(SHUCKS!)

But here is something the experiment does not consider.  You
are forgetting about a 1000W heat hole (gradient) that you left
behind.  From which you should be able to extract an additional
500W  (a little pipe dream) offering you an overage of 350W

Now if at some point one of us could actually achieve that 50%
we can get started.  My stuff is peaking out at about 30 wich
leaves this expariment back in the accounting ditch.

Yes I will spend the half million and send my son to MIT so he
can learn to flash credentials rather then admitting that he is
not familiar because he spent his time screwing off with his
frat mates.

I suppose he was trying to tell you that an ambient heat engine
was impossible based on the parts of his education he missed
because he was sleeping off a drunk.

  Although I might disagree with you on some things I will never
shove my degree down your throat.  The use of credentials to
prove a point ultimately only proves that the holder of said
sheepskin is unable to prove that point any other way.
Logically he is therefore incompetent.  The habitual and
continued use of this scholastic preamble serves only to
embarrass his educators.

My typical response is usually short and pointed.

Example:    "All that schooling and you still don't get it."

When you heat soup on the stove, you don't expect it to get hotter than the
burner because heat normally flows from hot regions to cold ones. But now,
in the 1 May PRL, a team using an experiment on the Russian space station
MIR has shown otherwise: For a fluid consisting of liquid and gas phases on
the verge of a transition, the gas temperature can exceed that of its
surrounding heat source, a condition known as local overheating. This
counterintuitive effect was predicted theoretically a decade ago and
demonstrates the complex nature of heat transfer in fluids.

Got ya..

OK Bob...   Sometimes they get lost.  (new bug)

If it hasn't posted in about 6 hours it is probably best to
repost.  Most all of the posts will pass in about 30 min but
sometimes it takes several hours.  And here is the part I love.
  Although subscription is almost instant it can take up to two
days to clear when you un-subscribe.  Also changing your
address may result in a couple of days of double posts and / or
double receives.   So if you change your address and post a
message you may receive 4 copies...

There are some bugs  :-)

Kirk:

This type of array is actually relatively common.  Its most
common uses are disk drive and VCR capstan rotors.  Also this
method is used for those credit card fridge magnets and
magnetic car door signs.

The pattern is usually shock encoded into a rubber magnet but I
have a blower motor that has it actually assembled from
separate ceramic magnets.

The fridge magnets and door signs are not Halbach. They just alternate.

Commutating field motors will run on AC or DC.  This one is the
air jet blower from a hot tub.  You will find the same motor
assembly in many canister vacuum cleaners.  If the inlet is
unrestricted they will provide a back pressure of about 20psi
and a huge volume of air.
