From: Bret Cahill on 1 Jun 2010 20:48 If you are having trouble detecting something then *a fortiori* you ain't got nothing that can produce useful amounts of mechanical work. Period. An excellent example of this was the cold fusion idiots having trouble finding a precise enough thermometer to prove that they had something that had jack to do with energy. The converse is just as true: If you have significant amounts of energy then there is no question you can get a good measurement. An excellent example of this was the idiot who suggested a 100 kg/sec. flow rate would be difficult to measure:: > 21" OD riser would have a fluid velocity of 1.07 mph at 50,000 bbl/day > leakage (the consistent real world value). That idiot who wrote that cannot even _swim_ 1 mph yet he thinks it would be difficult to measure! The two example above are common sense. Absolutely _no one_ claiming to have any background in science or engineering should be making these kinds or errors. The ramifications of the above should be obvious: It is a whole lot easier to instrument everything and save energy than it is to generate more. Bret Cahill

An old Protek P3502C. If it has any Antiques Road Show value I'll sell. Anyway you dodged the issue: Is there any phenomenon that can be considered a significant source of energy, i.e., something that will get the fat idiots down the road, that is difficult to measure?
