In all the debate about what type of flame is burning, how much and what
type of power is being generated and how; the main point seems to have been lost. This guy is primarily claiming that he has developed a cure for cancer and not a limitless source of power - that's just an incidental by product. He has a lot of expensive looking equipment that can generate focused microwave radiation. It can produce enough power to dissassociate water molecules and/or create plasma flames. He also appears to have access to some buckminster fullerine C60/C70 particles judging by the colour of the solution in one of the test tubes. His (rather simplistic) hypothesis is that cancer cells are better supplied with blood than other cells in the body (which is generally true). By injecting metallic nano particles into the bloodstream, these particles will be carried preferentially to cancer sites (which again is generally true for the first few minutes after injection). His machine is then used to zap the patient and all the nano particles will heat up to 65 degrees centigrade and destroy the cancers (wishful thinking but true if it could be achieved) leaving the rest of the body unharmed. The principles are basically correct but the nano particles will not differentially seek out tumour sites in the way he hopes. The time variables and circulation patterns in different individuals are too great. What happens if the cancer is interfering with general circulation as it often does? Current research is aimed at finding compounds which will bind to specific tumour sites using specifically engineered proteins. Once this has been achieved, then metallic or other types of particles can be added to the protiens and used to target tumours. Then any specifically tuned radiation source could be used to heat the particles adhering to the tumours to kill them - or to release a poisonous compound designed to kill only the tumour cells. Research in this area has been going on for years and is starting to signs of considerable success. One problem is that if you suddenly succeed in wiping out all tumour cells in the body in one hit, what will happen to all the waste products created by the dead cells? The kidneys and liver will be overwhelmed and the patient will expire from toxic shock. This is just one step on the way to developing a cure and there will probably never be a cure that involves just being zapped with microwave radiation for a couple of minutes, The cancer has all gone, but the patient dies from the side effects of the cure. The best option is to kill the tumours a bit at a time and allow the patient to recover between treatments. Either that, or a new 'cure' will be needed to flush out all the poisonous compounds as a result of the dead tumour cells rotting away inside the body. As for sticking your hand in the path of a microwave beam, a one kilowatt CW transmission only causes a sensation of skin warmth for a few seconds exposure. Obviously other damage occurs at deeper levels in the body, where there are fewer pain sensor cells. The demonstration looks spectacular, and makes for a good news story but doesn't actually prove anything. The idea of one man working alone in a home laboratory inventing what multi-national research corporations with billion dollar budgets cannot is a very appealing one. Unfortunately history shows that it is the well financed, research labs that tend to succeed, not the one man band. Edison, Marconi, and Bill Gates for example, were all pretty wealthy, connected and had a good deal of support behind them before they succeeded in dominating the world with their inventions. Even Tesla was doing alright for a while, until Edison 'proved' that his way of doing things was better - the advantage of having better financial support and that it was more practical and cheaper to install a proven technology using copper wire. Copper wire had been used for low power signalling applications for a long time before it was used to distribute power. If there is anything of scientific merit at all in this 'invention', one of the multi-nationals will undoubtably have already been developing it and not revealed the details due to patent law requirements. Hopefully I am wrong and we will all see a universal cure for cancer rolled out to hospitals in a couple of years time. Once cured, we will then be able to go out and kill ourselves by driving too fast in our hydrogen powered emission free cars. Scientific progress works by building step by step on the work of others that have gone before. That's the way the world has worked for at least the last 6,000 years since the Babylonians, Greeks and early Arabic civilisations developed the scientific method. Individuals may have a Eureka moment, but it takes time for new theories to become accepted and its the people with financial muscle that ultimately get to exploit new innovations and make even more money. Finally, if you look at the history on invention, you will find many instances of new technology being invented almost simultaneously around the world throughout the centuries. This points to a perhaps deeper underlying principle that technology has to reach a certain stage before the next step can be achieved. It may well be that a multiband 99% efficient HF antenna can be built into the form of a six inch cube. However, that will probably need room temperature superconductors to become available. Once that happens, people will be 'inventing' these antennas all over the world. Rant mode off Mike G0ULI |
