jmag: whom ever you are: Go back and re-read the entire thread and you will find
that I never said anything about what Dennis was using for a phase change
media.<g> Jerry and I have been following the escapades of Dennis Lee for years
now and have heard him lecture many times so we are all too familiar with his
"claims" and his devices. This thread is about heat recovery and shifting the
cold sink temperatures to achieve greater thermal performance and efficiencies.
Since this thread concerns the phase change phenomenon and the energy associated
with it I have interjected the little known fact that there is an anomaly
associated with the phase change of water and may exist with all such phase
changes. An example of this "other" phase change anomaly is found in Victor
Schauberger's vortex at the 4 degree C. point where there is a strange
blue/violet corona glow around the vortex exit??????? By flexing the water
molecule this close to the freezing point, are we seeing an electrical phenomenon
associated with the lower phase change point of water?????????????? I hope this
clears up you question as to our knowledge of Dennis Lee's process and his use of
Freon as the media in his device. I personally appreciate any and all input into
a thread only after you come up to speed by reading what has been discussed
before injecting comments. Thanks Norm
