Dear
Subscriber,
Our FE eNews
happens each month thanks to the
software talents of our Executive Director,
Jacqueline Panting, N.D., who returned from a
well-deserved vacation in Spain, just before the
deadline for this June issue.
Our Fourth Conference on
Future Energy (COFE4), united with SPESIF
scheduled for March 15-17, 2011,
has issued a Call for Papers
notification (see story #6). Please send
in your Abstracts by the August 15th deadline to
be considered. The sponsoring organization www.ias-spes.org also
provides peer-reviewed publication through the
American Institute of Physics (AIP)
for those papers accepted, which is a
prestigious value for your presentation. You can
also plan on attending for
half-price, without presenting a
paper, and going to any of the five
parallel conferences and symposia. Keep in
mind that the same future energy concepts as
before are accepted. SPESIF is the
successor to the well-known Space
Technologies and Applications International Forum
(STAIF) which was held for years at the
University of New Mexico and has aligned itself
with NASA's Grand Challenges.
This month we are
elated about a physics breakthrough from Ulm
University in Germany that separates inertial mass
and gravitational mass for the first time.
Einstein's "Equivalence
Principle" has never set right with most
physicists and now we have good reason to regard
the masses as two distinct phenomena.
For UFO buffs, this theory has the potential for
explaining and
perhaps engineering "right angle turns"
and extreme acceleration.
IRI hopes that
our #2 story will have some impact on the present
Congress to pass an energy bill that includes the
American Energy Innovation
Council's recommendations for
the Federal Energy Research
Budget (FERB). However, as usual, private
enterprise in the U.S. will always innovate when
necessary. The fourth movie in history to
visually represent a free energy breakthrough
("Knight and Day") shows that a fuelless
energy source is clearly a pearl of great price.
In the meantime, geothermal energy is the next
closest achievement (story #3).
We also have two
amazing bioelectromagnetic stories, one
treating cancer with electrical
assistance (story #4) and the other showing that
chronic cell phone exposure may
be worth measuring and labeling (Story #5). A
recent $24 million study showed that short term
exposure actually helped protect the
users with lower incidence of cancer,
which was unexplainable by conventional
"yes/no" standards but within the predictable,
level-dependent and time-dependent protocol
found in most bioenergetics protocol
(see my book, Bioelectromagnetic
Healing, for more details on SAR and
the bioenergetics protocol). The
best analogy is that a small amount of
selenium or vitamin A daily is good for you...a
lot each day can reach toxic
levels.
Sincerely,
Thomas Valone, Editor

Review, Monday, June 14, 2010, Physics arXiv

Ed. Note: This is a big
breakthrough for physics and space propulsion. We
at IRI predict that this discovery will allow the
emergence of inertial mass shielding
technology to protect astronauts.
Secondly, it should result in higher
efficiency propulsion due to reduced inertial
mass from shielding. -

 The equivalence
principle is one of the corner stones of general
relativity. Now physicists have used quantum
mechanics to show how it fails.
The
equivalence principle is one of the more
fascinating ideas in modern science. It asserts
that gravitational mass and inertial mass are
identical. Einstein put it like this: the
gravitational force we experience on Earth is
identical to the force we would experience were we
sitting in a spaceship accelerating at 1g. Newton
might have said that the m in F=ma is the same as
the m in F=Gm1m2/r^2.
This seems eminently
sensible. And yet it is no more than an assertion.
Sure, we can measure the equivalence with ever
increasing accuracy but there is nothing to stop
us thinking that at some point the relationship
will break down. Indeed several modifications to
relativity predict that it will.
One
important question is what quantum mechanics has
to say on the matter. But physicists have so far
been unable to use quantum theory as a lever to
tease apart the behaviour of inertial and
gravitational mass.
All that changes today
with the extraordinary work of Endre Kajari at the
University of Ulm in Germany and a few buddies.
They show how it is possible to create situations
in the quantum world in which the effects of
inertial and gravitational mass must be different.
In fact, they show that these differences can be
arbitrarily large.
Their thinking begins
by pointing out the important distinction between
kinematics, which is concerned purely with motion
not how it arises, and dynamics which focuses on
the origin of motion. In the classical world, this
has no bearing on the effects of inertial and
gravitational mass.
However, in the quantum
world, the way states are prepared has huge
significance. They point out, for example, that
the wave function of a particle in a box does not
depend on mass at all whereas the energy wave
function of a harmonic oscillator depends on the
square root of the mass.
That leads to an
interesting idea: that it is possible to create
combinations of gravitational and electromagnetic
boxes and oscillators in which inertial and
gravitational mass play different roles.
It
turns out that physicists already play with
exactly this kind of set up: the so-called atom
trampoline, in which a matter wave falls under the
influence of gravity but is bounced by an
electromagnetic force. They calculate that the
energy eigenvalues of the atom are proportional to
the (gravitational mass)^2/3 but to the (inertial
mass)^-1/3.
That's an amazing result. The
kind of energy spectroscopy of atoms or Bose
Einstein Condensates that can spot this difference
ought to be achievable, if not now, then very soon
within the next few years.
If successful,
these kinds of investigations will provide an
entirely new way of studying the nature of mass
and, perhaps more importantly, of investigating
the puzzling relationship between general
relativity and quantum mechanics.
For
example, cosmologists will want to know how
inertial and gravitational mass behaves in the
most extreme conditions in the Universe, such as
inside black holes.
That promises an
exciting few years ahead.

| 2) American Energy
Innovation Council calls for a tripling of US
Federal Energy Research
Budget |
 If America
wants to get off of oil - and, in general, green
up our energy supply - what will it take? Lots and
lots of federal dollars, that's what. Three times
as much as the government spends now, according to
a group of business executives who are calling for
the increased spending in a study released
yesterday.
The group, called the American Energy Innovation
Council, includes
people like Bill Gates, the CEOs of Cummins and
General Electric and others and warns us that our
continued reliance on dirty energy will hurt us.
The executive summary starts this way:
As business leaders,
we feel that America's current energy system is
deficient in ways that cause serious harm to our
economy, our national security, and our
environment. To correct these deficiencies, we
must make a serious commitment to modernizing
our energy system with cleaner, more efficient
technologies.
Such a commitment should
include both robust, public investments in
innovative energy technologies as well as policy
reforms to deploy these technologies on a large
scale. By tapping America's entrepreneurial
spirit and longstanding leadership in technology
innovation, we can set a course for a
prosperous, sustainable economy-and take control
of our energy future.
Conversely, if we
continue with the energy status quo, we will
expose ourselves to risks that pose significant
threats to our way of
life. The Council issued five specific
recommendations:
- Create an independent
national energy strategy board.
- Invest $16 billion per
year in clean energy innovation.
- Create Centers of
Excellence with strong domain expertise.
- Fund ARPA-E at $1
billion per year.
- Establish and fund a
New Energy Challenge Program to build
large-scale pilot projects.
The Council
compares today's federal energy research budget of
under $5 billion with the $30 billion the U.S.
spends on health research and the $80 billion we
give to the military for R&D. Gates told the
New York Times that we need to throw just tons of
money at the energy problem, accept that a lot of
the ideas will fail, and work to create the
disruptive technologies that will actually make a
dent on cleaning up American energy. Sounds like
an idea we can all get behind, no? Thanks to
Dan F. for the tip!

Computerworld -
WASHINGTON -- The ever expanding BP oil spill, in
a sense, provides Bill Gates the perfect backdrop
for selling Congress and the White House on a
proposal to increase annual U.S. spending on clean
energy research and development from $5 billion to
$16 billion.
Gates,
General Electric Co. CEO Jeff Immelt and venture
capitalist John Doerr, a partner at Kleiner
Perkins Caufield & Byer, are among the
well-known business people involved in high-level
lobbying effort on clean energy.
The
trio discussed the need for clean energy
investment at a press conference here today, and
are slated to discuss it further with President
Barack Obama this afternoon.
Today's
message, and a related American Energy Innovation
Council report listing a number of energy policy
recommendations, didn't cite BP oil spill. It was
about which country will lead in what may easily
be the world's next big industrial push.
Gates, Immelt and Doerr are all members of the
energy innovation council.
This business-driven push for a better
energy plan already has some congressional
support, principally from U.S. Rep. Bart Gordon
(D-Tenn.), who heads the House Committee on
Science and Technology. He said Thursday that he
plans to work with the group on legislation that
implements its proposals.
At an
earlier meeting with congressional leaders on the
BP oil spill, Obama made note of today's planned
meeting today with Gates and others.
"We can't keep our eye off the
importance of having an energy policy that meets
the needs of the next generation and ensures that
the United States is the leader when it comes to
energy policy," said Obama. "We are not yet that
leader, and that's what I want us to do."
The U.S. isn't the worldwide leader
in clean technology today, agreed Doerr during the
press conference. America is a worldwide leader in
biotechnology and information technology, he said,
but "that's not the case in today's energy
technologies."
Of
the top 30 new energy technology
companies worldwide that produce
batteries, solar technologies and advanced wind
energy, only four are headquartered in the
United States, Doerr
said.
"It's very sad that
Americans spend more on potato chips than we do on
investment in clean energy R&D," said Doerr.
Gates said more federal research
spending is needed to spur investment in clean
technologies. "The incentives aren't there to make
it happen," said Gates.
"In the same
way that the U.S. has led in health care, the same
way we have led in IT, it takes an upfront
investment," said Gates.
U.S.-based
General Electric is one of
the top companies on Doerr's list,
and Immelt said that its revenue from clean energy
products has gone from $5 billion to $20
billion.
"It's created jobs, and
it's created competitive advantage," said Immelt,
adding that the company plans to increase R&D
spending in this area.
The timeline
for producing results is years away.
It will take a decade to bring a
number of technologies in the pilot stage, and
perhaps take 20 years before there is a clear idea
what the winning technologies look like, according
to those involved in this
effort.

| 3) Geothermal Plant gets
Funding |
DOE funds will
help finance construction of a geothermal facility
using advanced technology. Technology
review June 2010.
http://www.technologyreview.com/energy/25631/?nlid=3139&a=f
The U.S. Department of Energy has offered a
$102.2 million loan guarantee, its first for
geothermal energy, to U.S. Geothermal,
based in Boise, ID. The guarantee is designed to
support construction of a 22-megawatt plant at
Neal Hot Springs, near Vale, OR.
U.S. Geothermal will use a technology called
supercritical binary cycle to convert geothermal
heat into electric power. The technology has been
around since the 1980s but hasn't been
commercialized. The DOE's loan guarantee, which
serves as a promise to back a loan in case the
company defaults, could give venture capitalists
and private investors confidence in investing in
the geothermal technology.
US
geothermal Plant, Courtesy of US
DOE
 | Daniel Kunz,
CEO of U.S. Geothermal, says the supercritical
binary plant could be 10 to 20 percent more
efficient than geothermal plants operating now.
The plant, which is in three modules, will be
built by Houston-based TAS Energy and transported
to the geothermal site on flatbed trucks and
strung together, Kunz says. "This modularity
should allow us to compress the timetable and cost
of deployment. The risks of construction should be
lower."
The power plant is expected to be online in
2012. All of its power output will be sold to
Idaho Power Company, the largest utility in Idaho,
as part of a 25-year agreement.
Conventional binary geothermal
power plants are a well-established technology to
produce electricity from moderate-temperature
resources between 93 ºC and 149 ºC. Hot water
drawn up from underground reservoirs cycles
through a heat exchanger, where it heats a working
fluid that is kept physically separate. The working fluid,
typically an organic chemical such as isopentane,
boils at a lower temperature than water. As it
vaporizes, the force of the expanding vapor spins
a turbine that generates electricity.
Supercritical binary plants use a similar
setup. The only difference is that the working
fluid is pumped up to a pressure above the fluid's
"critical pressure" before it flows into the heat
exchanger. At this supercritical pressure, the
fluid does not vaporize at a specific temperature.
Instead, it gradually transitions from a liquid to
a high-density vapor that gets lighter and lighter
as it heats up. This lets the working fluid
extract more heat from the hot water, increasing
the power plant's efficiency.
Building costs for a supercritical plant can be
higher than traditional binary plants because the
heat exchangers and pipes have to be stronger to
handle the higher pressure. But the federal loan
guarantees will help U.S. Geothermal get access to
the necessary capital.
A few small test plants (less than
100-kilowatt) using supercritical binary
geothermal technology have been built and run
without any difficulty, says Gregory Mines, a
geothermal energy researcher at the Idaho National
Laboratory. In the 1980s, the DOE and Electric
Power Research Institute built a 50-megawatt
supercritical binary plant in Heber, CA, that ran
for about three years. U.S. Geothermal's plant
"should hopefully provide financial people an
assurance that it's not an off-the-wall
technology, it's proven and viable," says
Mines.

| 4) Implantable Electrodes
Target Pancreatic
Cancer |
Nidhi
Subbaraman, Technology Review, June 17,
2010
http://www.technologyreview.com/biomedicine/25624/?a=fResearchers
use electric fields to get cancer drugs directly
to tumors.
Researchers at the
University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill have
designed an implant that precisely supplies
chemotherapy drugs to hard-to-reach pancreatic
tumors using an electric field. The
approach, which Joseph DeSimone described during a
presentation at the Koch Cancer Institute's summer
symposium in Cambridge, MA, on June 11, involves
implanting an electrode carrying a reservoir of
the drugs directly into the pancreas. When a
second electrode is pinned to the side of the body
or implanted inside, an electric field can be
generated, driving the drugs out of the reservoir
and into the tumor. Tests on pancreatic tumors in
mice showed promising results that the team hopes
to publish in the coming months. 
Implantable electrodes (front and
side view) will be inserted into the pancreas to
treat pancreatic tumors locally. When an electric
field is applied, drugs held in the reservoir of
the electrode will pour out of the electrode and
into the tumor. Credit: DeSimone lab, University
of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
Tumors in the pancreas sprout from the inner
ducts of the tubular organ and spread quickly,
sometimes gripping nearby arteries in a viselike
stranglehold. Because they are pressed up close to
delicate organs and vital arteries, these tumors
are difficult to remove surgically. Treatment
currently available to patients with
advanced-stage pancreatic cancer is a customized
combination of chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
"Frankly [current treatment is] not very
effective," says Joel Tepper, a radiation
oncologist at the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer
Center. "It does improve the median survival of
patients by a number of months, but it's not
producing nearly the kind of dramatic effects we'd
like to see."
One reason that pancreatic
tumors are so difficult to treat is that their
poor blood supply limits the access of bloodborne
chemotherapies to the cancerous tissue. Dosage
concentrations are capped to prevent the
chemotherapy from affecting healthy tissue as it
courses through the rest of the body. "What you do
is dose people up to the maximum toxicity level...
you're poisoning the whole body," says DeSimone.
"You're trying to get something locally, and it's
just not getting there."
Using the implant,
the team has been able to send the drugs directly
into the mouse tumor. "We now know that the drug
is in these tumors in huge concentrations," says
DeSimone. The device also localized the
chemotherapy to the area around the tumor. When
blood from other parts of the mouse was tested for
the drug, concentrations were below detectable
limits. "For the focal delivery of the drug, this
is a huge opportunity," DeSimone says. "But we
need more time to verify that we can actually
prove the outcome, by shrinking the
tumors."
A potential application of this
device will be to shrink large, inoperable tumors,
pulling them away from vital organs and enabling
surgeons to access them. "Only one in five
patients who have pancreatic cancer will undergo
surgery," says Jen Jen Yeh, a clinical oncologist
at the Lineberger Center and collaborator on the
project. "If we increase the number of patients
who are eligible for surgery, we may increase the
number of people who have a chance of cure," says
Yeh.
The team has yet to show that the
tumors shrink once the drugs have reached the
tumors in mice. Also, since human tumors would
need bigger electrodes, the lab has scaled up the
implant and is testing it in dogs. Though the dogs
lack tumors, the team can account for corrections
in the amount of current delivered and the current
density, which would differ for a larger electrode
that could be used to treat human
tumors.
"We hope to get this to the clinic
in the next two years," says James Byrne, an
MD-PhD student in DeSimone's lab who designed the
electrodes. "We're ensuring that the device is
safe enough and efficacious enough that it can be
used in
patients."

| 5) CellPhone Radiation
Levels required by
Ordinance |
(Ed.
Note: IRI celebrates this factual disclosure of EM
radiation levels in SAR. See Bioelectromagnetic
Healing book published by IRI for more information
on the SAR and its significance. The latest study
showed low exposure is protective (as explained in
our book) but high or chronic exposure to cell
phones is related to higher chance of
cancer. - TV)
San
Francisco on Tuesday became the first U.S.
jurisdiction to respond to increased concerns over
possible links between cellphone use and cancer,
adopting a city ordinance requiring retailers to
post the radiation levels of mobile
phones.
In a 10-to-1 vote, the city's board
of supervisors passed an ordinance that would
require stores to post the specific absorption
rates (SAR) of phones. Those rates are the levels
at which radio frequencies penetrate body tissue.
Mayor Gavin Newsom co-sponsored the measure and is
expected to sign off on the ordinance to make it
official.
San Francisco's action casts new
attention on the potential link between cellphone
use and cancer and other illnesses caused by
the radiation emitted from phones. The issue
hasn't gained as much attention in the United
States as it has overseas, where Israel, Great
Britain, France and Germany are among a growing
number of countries that have begun warning
cellphones users of potential risks those devices
pose for long-term users and children.
The
cellphone industry, meanwhile, has successfully
fought similar legislation in the California
legislature. Its trade groups CTIA and TechAmerica
also argued against a bill in Maine this year that
would require Maine retailers to brandish warning
labels of the effects cellphone radiation might
have on children. Both bills were defeated, and
the industry argued that both would have caused
confusion and gone against some scientific studies
that don't show a link between cellphone use and
cancer.
But there has also been a growing
body of research that shows a potential connection
between long-term cellphone use and brain tumors.
And the risks are greater for children, according
to some scientists who participated in a 13-nation
long-term study on cellphone use and cancer called
Interphone.
"It is my hope that today's
vote in San Francisco will spur more research into
the possible health effects of radiation emitted
by mobile phones, particularly with respect to
potential effects on children," said Rep. Ed
Markey (D-Mass.), former chairman of the House
telecommunications subcommittee. Markey had
conducted hearings in the early 1990s into the
health impact of cellphones. "No single study is
conclusive, and ongoing research is needed to add
to the body of knowledge on this important
subject. I look forward to following the
implementation of the San Francisco ordinance and
continuing the work I began in the 1990s when I
was chairman of the telecommunications
subcommittee, to encourage more scientific studies
that advance our understanding in this vital
area."

its 3rd forum at the University of Maryland,
College Park, MD. The Space, Propulsion &
Energy Sciences International Forum upholds the
momentum and positive collaborative environment
established by the former Space Technologies and
Applications International Forum (STAIF), last
held in 2008.
SPESIF
provides a platform for the interchange of ideas
among technologists, academicians, industrialists,
and program managers on technical and programmatic
issues related to the Space, Propulsion and Energy
Sciences. Among its organizers, conference and
session chairs, and attendees, are high-level
representatives from industry, government

(AIP) in an AIP Conference
Proceedings.
The forum
addresses a wide range of topics across
symposiums, conferences and meetings as follows:
SYMPOSIUM
ON NEW FRONTIERS IN THE SPACE PROPULSION SCIENCES
This
symposium pertains to the advancement of the space
propulsion sciences from current technologies to
emerging concepts and theories covering the
contemporary propulsion sciences, technologies and
techniques for short-term objectives supporting
near-term space initiatives for Earth, in-orbit,
Moon and Mars-based propulsion and power systems;
enhancement of the feasibility of future space
propulsion systems; new frontiers in the space
propulsion sciences comprising ideas, concepts,
experiments, theories and models; and approaches
that could lead to new directions in space travel,
exploration, astrophysics and particle physics
with applications to propulsion, power or
communication; or to help combine these areas of
science with the space propulsion sciences toward
new frontiers in science.
SYMPOSIUM
ON ASTROSOCIOLOGY
This
symposium focuses on topics common to the space
community, though from a social-scientific
perspective. That is, a strong consideration of
how each topic relates to society, culture, and
the individual - the traditional purview of the
social and behavioral sciences, humanities, and
the arts (hereafter referred to as the "social
sciences" for brevity) -- defines astrosociology.
A major theme of the symposium focuses on how
traditional knowledge and findings of the social
sciences, which normally focus on terrestrial
matters, actually possess important applications
for space exploration and related issues.
Moreover, the direct application of social science
research and theory-building in contemporary and
future timeframes receive attention as vital
components in the understanding of humanity's
efforts in space environments in terms of
exploration, settlement, work, and recreation.
Examination of the impact of space exploration on
terrestrial societies and cultures receives
attention in addition to that of humans in space.
SYMPOSIUM
ON HIGH-FREQUENCY GRAVITATIONAL WAVES:
This
Symposium provides a forum for discussions
pertaining to the means of detecting and
generating HFGWs and their practical application.
Papers on HFGWs may encompass the high-frequency
(100 kHz to 100 MHz), very high frequency (100 MHz
to 100 GHz), and ultra high frequency (greater
than 100 GHz) bands all referred to as HFGWs and
should concentrate on the means for evolving this
technology. Specific interests also include (but
are not limited to) the description of HFGWs in
conventional space-time, applications to
astrophysics, communication, nuclear effects,
surveillance and remote movement of massive
objects. Concepts may be either theoretical or
based upon actual experiments or fabricated
devices and should include rigorous, logical,
scientific support and plausible assumptions
and/or data to validate the fundamental aspects of
the presented papers.
CONFERENCE ON FUTURE
ENERGY
This conference deals with
experiments, theories, and approaches that will
help man achieve both a short-term and long-term
solutions to fueless energy for electricity
generation and travel, as well as drugless energy
medicine. Short-term objectives support the
near-term environmental initiative for humankind
to live on the earth without burning fossil fuels
and off the earth, to the Moon and Mars. Long-term
objectives will lay down the scientific foundation
necessary for future generations to extend
mankind's ability to survive in other parts of our
solar system. These long-term objectives are more
pronounced and designed to stretch the
intellectual capabilities and imagination of
mankind in advanced technical disciplines. This
will broaden our understanding and usage of the
space environment for communications, power
generation/storage, and propulsion.
MEETING ON
FUTURE DIRECTIONS IN SPACE
SCIENCE
AND TECHNOLOGY
This
meeting seeks to promote the dream of space
exploration by providing a venue for basic
research and current technology developments
currently underway in various areas of space
science and technology that could prove beneficial
in the near future. In any integrated space
vehicle, there are a large number of independent
and interdependent systems that are needed to
accomplish mission success. In some cases, there
are engineers and scientists that work with fine
focus to produce prototypes of high fidelity
subsystems (such as navigation or propulsion) that
are relevant for next generation spacecraft; while
in other cases, teams of engineers and scientists
work diligently and carefully to incorporate the
latest cutting-edge subsystems into an integrated
spacecraft tailor built to accomplish a specific
other-worldly task. In all cases, it is critical
that engineers and scientists alike be keenly
aware of the trade space of available hardware and
technology at their disposal so as to allow them
to focus their efforts on the real technical
innovation challenges.
******
Abstracts
and papers should be concise, clear, and original
according to the supporting information;
theoretical analysis, references provided, and
presentations, which should be logical and based
upon sound scientific principles. If a departure
from the conventional science is claimed, it is
the author's responsibility to persuade and
clarify this point in a balanced but
scientifically convincing manner supported by
adequate and acceptable evidence as well as
identify experiments for testing their
claims.
