AUTHORS ABSTRACT
Nuclear energy levels are characterized in part
by their isospin quantum numbers. Ordinary
nuclides are well described by an independent-particle model with ground-state isospins
equal to the minimum possible value Tmin =
abs(A/2 - Z). It has been suggested that
extremely neutron-rich nuclei constitute a second
branch of the table of isotopes whose ground
states have the maximum possible isospin T max =
A/2 and that neutral members of the T max branch
(i.e., poly-neutrons) serve as mediating particles
for the new class of nuclear reactions discovered
by Fleischmann and Pons. The energetics of the
new reactions have been qualitatively described
by a liquid-drop model. Recent measurements
of the mass spectrum of reaction products
produced in the new reactions make possible a
refinement of the model, providing an
explanation for gaps of instability separating
ranges of stability in the mass spectrum.

RadWaste
DOE: $6.9 BILLION FOR GLASS PLANT

Staff (Associated Press, Richland, Wash.),
"Hanford unveils $6.9 billion project to treat
radioactive waste," Las Vegas Review-Journal,
July 22, 1998, pg 8B.
EDITOR'S COMMENTS
DOE has announced the first phase of an
estimated $6.9 billion, 20-year project to
immobilize high-level radioactive waste in glass
through a process called vitrification. The
encapsulated waste would then be sent to the
proposed national repository at Yucca Mountain
in Nevada.
The contract calls for BNFL
(subsidiary of British Nuclear Fuels) to spend the
next two years on a $350 million design for the
project which would be privately built and run.
The DOE official also stated that this agreement
would delay from December 2003 to January
2008 the date for beginning to vitrify or glassify
low-level waste. High-level waste would be
processed by February 2007. In their visualization of the cosmic all, DOE has elected to have
this facility privately funded. Guess what Wall
Street investors will do when they find out
that there is a new technology that will
stabilize radioactive wastes on site.

THE 10,000 YEAR PROBLEM
LaVar Webb, "Nuclear-Waste Dump Would
Leave Lethal 10,000-year Legacy," Deseret
News, 13 July 1998.
EDITOR'S COMMENTS
LaVar Webb states, "But the biggest reason of
all to fight the nuclear dump [scheduled to be
sited in Utah] can be summed up by a big
number: 10,000. As in 10,000 years. That's how
long these fuel rods remain lethal." Webb
continues to state that Utah did not create the
waste, Utah's citizens have suffered enough
from bureaucratic mistakes (thousands have
been stricken and hundreds have died, including
the NEN Editors sister-in-law, from the
radioactive fallout from nuclear bomb tests in
Nevada), and Utah does not consume power
generated by nuclear power. What LaVar Webb
doesn't know is that there is technology that
can be developed for on-site remediation of
radioactive wastes. The planned multi-billion
dollar glass plants are not needed. The hazards
of packaging, transporting, and storage in
Nevada can be avoided.

AUTHORS ABSTRACT
It was proposed by Haisch, Reuda and Puthoff
that the inertia of matter could be interpreted at
least in part as a reaction force originating in

interactions between the electromagnetic zeropoint field (ZPF) and the elementary charged
constituents (quarks and electrons) of matter.
Within the limited context of that analysis, it
appeared that Newtons equation of motion
(f = ma) could be inferred from Maxwells
equations as applied to ZPF, i.e., the stochastic
electrodynamics (SED) version of the quantum
vacuum. We report on a new approach which
avoids the ad hoc particle-field interaction model
(Planck oscillator) of that analysis, as well as its
concomitant formulation complexity. Instead, it
is shown that a non-zero ZPE momentum flux
arises naturally in accelerating coordinate
frames from the standard relativistic
transformations of electromagnetic fields.
Scattering of this ZPF momentum flux by an
object will yield a reaction force that may be
interpreted as a contribution to the objects
inertia.
This new formulation is properly
covariant yielding the relativistic equation of
motion: F = dp /d . Our approach is related by
the principle of equivalence to Sakharovs
conjecture of a connection between Einstein
action and the vacuum. If correct, this concept
would substitute for Machs principle and
imply that no further mass-giving Higgs-type
fields may be required to explain the inertia
of material objects, although extensions to
include the zero-point fields of the other
fundamental interactions may be necessary
for a complete theory of inertia.

concept of not being able to determine both
position and other quantum properties with
precision, provides an experimental challenge
when working with quantum unit such as a
photon. The experimenters provided a clever
scheme for determining the quantum states of a
split photon and having, in effect, then been able
to determine the state of one of these
"entangled" photons, and thereby effect the
state of the distant photon. As stated by the
authors in their conclusions: "In our experiment,
we used pairs of polarization entangled photons
as produced by pulsed down-conversion and
two-photon interferometric methods to transfer
the polarization state of one proton onto another
one. ... The teleportation scheme could also be
used to provide links between quantum
computers. Quantum teleportation is not only an
important ingredient in quantum information
tasks; it also allows new types of experiments
and investigations of the foundations of quantum
mechanics."
Comments: An author said that those who claim
to understand quantum mechanics are not
honest. As an honest editor, it is proposed that
an explanation for this unusual quantum event
could be derived from the existence of an aether,
the speed of transmission of information in the
aether as being many times the speed of light,
and a new concept of conservation. Therefore,
when considering entangled particles, consider
them as being a dynamic construct of the aether
such that the creation of one such particle

in the development of the Ampere longitudinal
forces that can fragment the wire. Examination
of the fragments do not show any form of melting
but merely that the wire was pulled apart like
taffy. This observation has some relevance to
the Hutchison Effect. John Hutchison has
shown videos of bars of metal in which
fragments separate without melting indicating
the presence of enormous physical forces
without there being high temperatures
developed.
Kenneth Shoulders has also
observed a similar and replicable phenomena
using his charge clusters.
THE VACE EXPERIMENTS
Thomas E. Phipps, Jr., "VACE Experiments,"
Electric Spacecraft, Jan/Feb/Mar issue 25, 6 May
1998, pp 5-15, 12 refs, 8 figs.
EDITOR'S COMMENTS
Thomas Phipps describes a set of experiments
that can be easily replicated by even
experimenters with modest means. The basic
idea is that two small rectangular horseshoe
magnets can provide a means by which the
accuracy of Ampere versus Lorentz forces can
be determined. The results are highly in favor of
Ampere. Of considerable additional importance
is the fact that two of the VACE (Virtual
Amperian Current Elements) demonstrate an
additional anomaly that should be widely studied
and the laws of magnets be adjusted to explain.
The concept is that a toroidal form of a magnet
should contain within the magnet all of the lines
of force. Therefore, two such magnets should
show very little force interaction.
Phipps'
experiments demonstrates an unexplained
anomalous force. This editor suggests that an
exploration of this force can best be explained by
the concept that magnetism of ferromagnetic
materials are caused by the aether.
EDITOR'S SUMMARY
Hull reports on Jim Goss' exploding wire
experiments where the fragments of wire varied
from 1/4" to 1" in length. The pieces indicate
some type of harmonic or wave-like phenomena

ANTIGRAVITY EXPERIMENTS
Martin Holwerda, "Combined Antigravity
Experiments," Electric Spacecraft, Jan/Feb/Mar
issue 25, 6 May 1998, pp 24-26, 10 refs, 3 figs.
EDITOR'S SUMMARY
Holwerda suggests an experiment in which the
results of previous antigravity experiments are
combined. The experiment is based, in part, on
an invention by a French nuclear scientist, M.J.J.
Page. The analysis of this proposed experiment
has led Holwerda to the following conclusion:
"Gravity is a phenomenon coming from all
directions, and these devices demonstrate more
efficient absorption when gravity approached
from the plane of the [experimental] ring or
triangle. But when gravity comes from all
directions, there must be an out-of-balance

NEW-ENERGY POLITICS

EDITOR'S SUMMARY
Jeane Manning, the author of the book, The
Coming Energy Revolution, discusses some of
the new-energy developers, their work, their
comments, and their views on commercializing
new energy. Featured in illustrations are Hal
Fox, Toby Grotz, Eugene Mallove, and
Paramahamsa Tewari persons well known to
the new-energy community.
Quotes from Sir Arthur C. Clarke include, "Now
I have little doubt that anomalous energy is being
produced by several devices." [Arthur C. Clarke
receives each issue of New Energy News. Ed.]
Manning suggests that the establishment guards
the seat of power and some of the guardians of
the world's oil resources are not anxious for newenergy systems. However, many of the oil
companies would rather conserve their oil
resources and sell them later at $60 per barrel
for chemical feedstocks. The problem of global
warming is being countered by some of the
energy-related companies by a National
Environmental Trust funded, in part, by the
American Petroleum Institute. Global warming is

Energy News. When you discussed Joe "X"
Mark 1 Energy Cell with its battery connections
and the potential of electrolyzing water, it was
believable that such a device might be used to
provide a combustible fuel for operating an
automobile.
That Joe "X" was able to run his Rover V8 3500
SD1 on trips in Australia appeared to be a
considerable achievement. Your report that Joe
has successfully converted at least 14 vehicles
with various improved models of the energyproducing device is also acceptable.
However, when the improved devices no longer
need to be connected to a battery to provide the
energy flow from the Energy Cell to the
automobile carburetor, your story begins to get
strongly unbelievable.
We also find it interesting that a 40-page book
that sells for about one dollar per page appears
to be the only source of information about this
amazing discovery that has been developed over
the past seven or eight years. This leads us to a
question that will be on the mind of many of our
readers: "Is this just a scam to sell books at a
dollar a page, or is this a new technology that is
being hidden from the world by Joe "X", except
for his visitor Barry Hilton?"
It would mean a lot to our readers if we could talk
to a person in the U.S. who has successfully
replicated this device and is operating his or her
automobile by running on water. Can you help
our readers in this regard? Your answer to this
letter will be published in the October 1998 issue
of New Energy News.
