As my senior project in college in 1976 I built a ruby laser thanks to a friend who happened to have a mirrored ruby rod with a small chip which rendered it unusable in the laboratory due to the irregular modes generated.
My adviser told me of another senior who was using capacitors like I used to pulse the xenon lamps for exploding wires. I never dreamed why he was exploding wires. Neither did my adviser. Fast forward thirty years and I read of exploding water and wires and ZPE. This forum has been quite an educational experience. And I thought the laser was kewl. Yeah, we should read the paper. :-) Terry On Fri, Dec 11, 2009 at 8:34 PM, Jones Beene <[email protected]> wrote: > -----Original Message----- > From: Terry Blanton > > ICCF-10 Paper: Triggering a deuterium flux in Pd wire using electromagnetic > field Cavitation > > Stringham, R.
