NormanA fascinating read.I can relate to your research work with cavitation vortex explosions.These are the nasty cause of impingement corosion inside the bends of pipes, where actual material from the pipes gets removed in funny little ridges, and grooves.My friend, Russell, a nuclear physicist, now retired from Ontario Hydro, described the light, he witnessed coming from clear glass elbows, of a cooling circuit he was studying back in the Eighties, for a nuclear reactor cooling system.The same is likely the cause of some speed boat propeller metal being subject pock marks and grooves. If anybody bothered to look carefully, there may have been light.An interesting aside, might be the observation of the algae in tropical saltwater, when flushing the marine toilet in Solstice Moon, which had a clear plastic intake hose that would light up like a florescent tube, when you pumped the handle in the dark.I wonder what energy these creatures were responding to?Is that Professor Philip Callahan from University of Florida, at Gainesville? If so, he was a very nice man, who was most kind, regarding research information concerning an invention I was working on. He was a very broad spectrum scientist, linking biology and physics.I look forward to more of your storyCheers Warren

When Looking back into the 20 plus years of files, documentation, e-mail and Keely Net BBS dialog files,it would be a crying shame for all of this valuable and informative data to be lost. I have decided to post, incrementally a lot of information onto this group site for your research use if you choose. In retrospect, I have realized that many folks out there have stolen ideas, Patents etc. from those of us that have given information freely as did Tesla and even Hector. I have always tried to share knowledge for the benefit of all.

Time line development of Technologies related to “VES” Green Energy Systems
The “Implosion Vortex Reactor” (IVR) was the starting block of technology for the VES program.
Due to my visit with Jim, in his home in CA. in the summer of 2001 searching for an “ultra high temp.” ceramic material, his intense interest was “tweaked” in this technology!
I digress here: In 1980, I was developing the methodology for making hydrogen gas from basic carbon and water in a unique type of reactor vessel. In 1994, I machined and assembled the first prototype 304 stainless “Implosion Vortex Reactor”. Was not able to arouse any interest in the technology here in the US. An Investor Group in Berlin GE invited Me in 2001 to fly to Berlin and do a formal presentation of the technology at which time the Patent process was begun and funding for the project was set up. I went to Carson City NV. And set up the necessary Wells Fargo account and Incorporation for the funding to proceed. A 5200 sq. ft. Research lab was constructed on my 52 acre farm at Hubbard, TX for the purpose of prototype development. I was in weekly contact with Jim due to his interest in the Project. In 2005, the Project was funded ($1.5 million) by GAZPROM, Russia being represented by Her Deitsmar. My prototype development was funded at the $250,000 level. While I was machining out the two prototypes (one from 6061 aluminum to develop the CAD specs and drawings, and the second working, “proof of concept reactor” from 310 stainless steel) Jim asked me to assist him in the construction of a Vapor Infusion Furnace at Carbondale, IL so that he could produce a needed densified ceramic reactor unit! I have provided you in previous documentation the background info on this Program at SICU. In which we had a working agreement with the University. In the spring of 2006, at the “Proof of concept” test of stainless IVR attended by 6 Engineers and Investor representatives from Europe it was learned that John MacAllen Funding and Project coordinator has misappropriated $1.2 million of the Project funds. He had moved to the US from Berlin, GE and purchased a home and yacht in Florida of which we had a satellite photo of home and boat in the slip. GAZPROM, Russia took legal action against MacAllen and took possession of both prototypes and Patent Rights. See: both Euro and U.S. Patents. In the spring of 2006, Jim and I agreed to pursue the IVR technology using the JEP Patent Process to Patent around my basic patents. Jim had the technology to produce the required densified ceramics so as to operate the IVR at the optimum thermal environment. It was our intention to build out our version of the “Implosion Vortex Reactor” at the envisioned Victorville, CA Lab Complex when the project was adequately funded. To that end, Jim was working his heart out! Since I designed the IVR and wrote the Patents, I left a lot of the “technology” undisclosed so as to have the latitude for the JEP Patent Process which Jim wanted to do with our Patent Attorney. Jim gave me the big “atta boy” for having the forsight and thinking ahead! I have a complete historical book of the whole Project with all the Contact Letters with both US Government and Industrial Investors. I hand delivered a complete set of these documents to the George Bush Western Whitehouse at Crawford, TX for our President to review. The same docs were provided to DOE, Newt Gingrich and Senator Byrd of WVA. This will give you a great deal of insight into the IVR portion of our “VES” Program!
Next! The “Implosion Vortex Turbine” our “Prime Mover”(my vastly improved Tesla Turbine)
To be continued in next message:
Time line development of Technologies related to “VES” Green Energy Systems
This is the second Technology for the “VES” Project: The Implosion Vortex Turbine.
Since back in the early 70’s I have been an “avid” Researcher in the Technology of Nikola Tesla. I have everything that has ever been written by or about this “genius”. Of very special interest was his Boundary Layer Turbine which he patented in 1913. After doing extensive research into this very efficient turbine unit I quickly came to the conclusion that all that were writing about or researching this device did not fully understand just how it worked for Tesla was very “shrewd” in writing his patents and never divulged all of the technology! I went to the very “top” internet sites and publications regarding the subject turbine and found that no one had a “clue’ as to how it really was intended to work at the “super high thermal conversion” figures. Bendix Corp. tested a 500HP version of this turbine being operated on steam and was astounded with the results. This turbine was abandoned early due to the lack of the proper metallurgy needed in the runners (disk) which had the needed stress modulus. Due to my background and Degree in the Aeronautical Discipline I fully understood just how the Boundary Layer Effect was utilized by Tesla to achieve the phenomenal thermal efficiency. In 1994, same shop that I machined the IVR unit; I built a museum quality Tesla Turbine to demonstrate the technology. I filed with the US Patent office the Patent Disclosure of a new very unique new hub design that eliminated all the labyrinth seal design of Tesla and booster the operational efficiency and simplified the construction of said turbine. At the International Tesla Conference, Colorado Springs, 1995, I donated this Tesla Turbine along with the Patent Disclosure to the museum and it went on display and was demonstrated to all museum visitors.
After Jim and I addressed the IVR under “VES” his next question was “Norm, how are we going to utilize the thermal output of the IVR for power generation”? My answer, Tesla Boundary Layer Turbine, to which Jim said, “Please educate me for I have not heard of this before”. I sent to Jim all the documentation and drawings along with stress analytical formulas for the high speed disk utilized in the turbine. Since this turbine operates at such high speeds, Jim quickly showed me the stress calculations for runners (disk) that he would produce in carbon/carbon composite that would successfully operate in the required environment and would be impervious to erosion and could be surface finished at the micron level. I laid out in “Flow block” diagrams, the operation of the Boundary layer Turbine utilizing a high density refrigerant that had the operational characteristics we needed for a low pressure, low temperature very efficient turbine. To achieve the “off the charts” thermal efficiency, advanced Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR) Industrial Heat pumping technology will be incorporated into the System. We are able to achieve a very conservative COP of 20:1 Energy in vs. thermal output. This is totally achievable in the modern Heat pump Technology! (MVR) Heat Pump technology will be address in next segment. Our system is a huge shift from the current steam turbines which all operate at very high pressures and very high temperatures so as to maximize the extraction or conversion of thermal energy into mechanical energy to drive the generators (really alternators). “Carnot’ cycle” or method of calculating system thermal efficiency. Our System operates at relatively low pressures and temperatures vastly simplifying design, fabrication and operation and practically eliminates most maintenance requirements. Both Jim and I have all the documentation of this System in our files! This is a unique System approach to be prototyped and Patent Apply for at the Victorville Facility.
No one has put together the “blocks” for such a System that has such very high performance and efficiency.
Next segment: MVR
This segment will address (MVR) Mechanical Vapor Recompression utilized in Advanced Industrial Heat Pumping Technology. Back in 1980 I was employed as Director of Research & Development for a very large Corp. at Ashville.NC with prime interest in domestic heat utilization and heat re-claim technology. I explored all facets of heating and cooling technology including the various thermal storage systems like the Zeolite Modular System which BTW has the absolute highest storage density of all known Systems. Home heating systems such as Frenetti System that used cavitation in oil to produce COPs greater than 1:1. This phenomenon was later verified by NASA and Perkins (Roswell, GA) was recognized by the US Parent Office as Inventor of such an over unity device. It was previously thought that a COP of greater than 1:1 was impossible! NASA was right for I built a device based on the Perkins Rotor and found the secret behind the high COP which is micro cavitation which disassociates the water molecule at the microscopic level in the billions of shear vortices after which there is a re-combination (micro implosion) which emits heat and a near UV blue wave length light photon emission. Attached is my Patent of this technology known as the “Sono Diffuser”. Jim was excited to learn of this device or technology for we need it later in the Photo Bioreactor system to act as a sparger of oxygen from the growth media for algae production. Oxygen is a “killer’ of algae since we have to maintain septic or anaerobic condition.
When high efficiency scroll compressors came on the scene I jumped into the design of MVR heat re-claim Systems that I started prototyping on my farm for a “stand alone” home power system that also produced “pure water’ all from the “ambient”. The total System utilized the Vortex turbine (prime mover) for power generation and used the heat pumped refrigerant as the operating media. (Same block flow diagram that I gave Jim for our “VES” System). Heat scavenging was from my advanced solar panels (to be Patented) no one has anything like this for its principles of operation are unknown by others. Gray water and “heat of condensation” during the production of water from the air rounded out the heat sought in the process. All of these things work like a “charm” but are not currently being utilized. What a shame. When Jim told me that the state of CA had passed legislation that would end the vast cooling tower thermal and vapor emissions, I proposed that we apply the advanced heat pumping capability of our System to produce pure water for recycle back into the power plants plus scavenge the heat of condensation and sensible heat to go back into the process and drive our Implosion Vortex turbine (advanced Tesla turbine) as a prime mover driving an alternator to augment the power production of the central plant or provide power for auxiliary plant loads. The overall efficiency of the power plant system would be increased by an additional 50 % by capturing the energy being “blown off” to the atmosphere in outdated cooling towers. There is also an environmental concern due to hot water discharge into streams etc. All of this we can fix! You will find all of this information in Jim’s files for as he incorporated it into the “VES” System he would e-mail all the docs for my review and comment or additions. Jim and I were “totally” on the same page of music! Diffuser patent attached!
Next: we address the Photo Bioreactor Modular System
This segment #4 will pertain to the Photo Bioreactor Modular System incorporated into the “VES”for carbon remediation.
Back in early 2005, Both Jim and I started addressing the remediation of the CO2 output from the “Implosion Vortex Reactor” whose sole output product is CO2 and H2 gas. There were several options regarding the CO2 output including deep underground storage in high pressure wells. Just what the Andreas Fault line needs in CA. Jim contacted several University Researchers and obtained lots of information regarding their solar fences and systems. I told Jim about my idea of using LED light panels, powered by low voltage DC which do not heat the growth media and can be run 24 hours a day vs. the solar fence units that are limited to sun light availability. Now we get into an interesting area regarding bio growth. Mid 90’s I became a “fan” of Philip S. Callahan, Ph.D. who wrote several fantastic books about this very subject. Careful study revealed several factors that University Researchers do not know or understand. Ever wonder why most plant foliage appears green to the human eye? You say it is the chlorophyll, the chemical media for photosynthesis where sun light energy combines the H2O and Carbon to make the hydrocarbon molecules for cell growth! Now consider, after careful study you will find that the “green wavelength” in the solar spectrum (500nm) that is most absorbed and used in the photo process. Now if the leaves are absorbing the “green” wavelength, why do the leaves appear green to our eyes? Most algae species are green, in fresh water, salt water algae is red, “red bloom” or “red tide” as you have seen when the water is depleted of oxygen and anaerobic condition occurs. Now with this in mind I told Jim that we would gather empirical data regarding the optimum light wavelength needed for a particular algae species. To maximize growth rate and reduce power input in the light panels. Optimize everything! With the algae species selected based on our desired output (lipid % vs. protein). The higher lipid output, the more biodiesel you get per ton of CO2 remediated! Now we can order the LEDs from China sources customized to go in our Lucite panel arrays. Jim designed these modules around the Sea land Container like Module and has a clever and practical layout of the footprint. I built several of these laminated clear Lucite panels and did several LED patterns that would bathe the passing fluid media containing the algae with the optimum lumens per sq. cm and fluid path depth. Jim did all the power calculations and flow rates to optimize the algae growth over a 24 hour period. He was calculating the time needed for algae species growth doubling in density based on flow rates, channel depths, light input and nutrient feed (CO2 and other minerals). Now if Elaine wondered what Jim did, I would say he was a busy fellow! In the algae growth cycle there is an accumulation of “poisonous oxygen” for when the CO2 is broken down in the growth process oxygen is a byproduct. If allowed to build up you inter into a condition of losing your anaerobic state and growth stops. Now enter my Sono Diffuser Patent that Jim just loved for it is very useful in sparging out oxygen using nitrogen. Now I have to digress again to tell you how the Sono Diffuser came into existence.
In 1980, as stated before, I was looking at unusual heating technology and stumbled over several cavitation based Systems. My curiosity as to how these units achieved such high COP values caused me to build (1994) a Perkins Rotor of special design for the outer cylindrical section was clear glass so I could observe the fluid as it flowed over the spinning rotor and found the microscopic vortices in the billions! When viewed in regular light the water was almost white like froth. When bathed in HeNe laser light (coherent light) the picture changed and when illuminated with a very high speed strobe light I could “stop action” and see the fantastic number of micro tornadoes in the water. In darkness the water would glow blue/ UV because of the almost infinite overpressures in the vortex which broke the hydrogen/oxygen bond momentarily with a re-combination detonation which yielded the blue light photon and resulting heat. Thus I found the secret behind the COP yield of cavitation Systems which is greater than 1:1. On the Perkins Rotor, NASA was documenting a COP of 1.3:1 which made them think that the definition of a “calorie “was wrong! I built several Diffusers and found that I could “imprint” oxygen into water at the 600% level and it was persistent! Did not come out of solution! I did all kinds of research with highly oxygenated water to include ground water remediation (contaminated wells), destroying VOX, accelerating plant growth And doing hydroponic growing and not have to drain down the root structure so it would be exposed to air for oxygen absorption. The water contained super high levels of oxygen. This phenomenon is well known in very cold running water falls where fish will die from what is known as “bleeding gill” disease because the high oxygen levels in cold water will go over 125% and the oxygen partial pressure ruptures the capillaries in the fish gill. After Investors and numerous Corp. Reorganizations etc. I sold my rights to the Diffuser or Sono Diffuser. When I sold my Patent I asked if they would be interested in the next better “mouse trap” but they declined to buy! Now Jim and I had the “Super Sono Diffuser” which is so radically different it will not infringe on the original Patent. I call that “thinking outside of the box” LOL I still have the technical drawings and Jim looked forward to incorporating it into our System. I am an accomplished machinist along with all other technical disciplines for I have spent a full life in the very highest levels of technology. You are kind of exposed to such things when you have a Military Research and Development background at the DOD, Level. Day to day I interfaced with: BRL (Ballistics Research Labs), LWL (Land Warfare Labs), Chemical Coatings Labs, Laser Research labs, FLIR, (Forward Looking Infrared Imaging) Labs “night vision” was a fixed wing and helicopter Aviator and did Flight Standardization for the Army Material Command. What fun I had and am happy to be “retired”. When I retired to Dallas I have spent the last 32 years working as an Electrical and Electronics Contractor and had my Research farm down in Hubbard, TX “Battle Creek Farms”.
You asked about technologies that Jim and I discussed and he deferred till we had the “VES” technology off the ground so to speak! There are several things that Jim was aware of that I want to develop in the future or put to Patent before I get too old. Rather “interesting”! James Warren passed 2012! (RIP) Literally hundreds of very interesting files to be posted. Norm
