coderman: "The Faraday homopolar generator dates back to the 1830s. DePalma, Tewari, and others have attempted to utilize the Faraday generator to produce more power than needed to run it. Most objective reviews of the work have, however, failed to see such effects."
coderman: "The underlying reason that such claims continue to surface is that rotating magnetic fields are extremely difficult to handle within existing theories. This is because for a rotating frame there is a distance (removed from the axis) which is travelling at velocities greater than c. Although the distance is not within any real physical object, it's existence within the mathematical development greatly complicates any calc

rovar: The faraday homopolar generator and the country that abandoned it.
JFC: "With 5 kilowatt total input, the SPG is reportedly yielding 30 kilowatt electrical output (correspondence to B. DePalma 8/13/90)."
JFC: by now the verdict must truly be in on this one .. haven't heard that it works, so assume bunkum
JFC: then again .. what we haven't heard blah
JFC: the official explanation for these types of claims is that the energy is coming out of the material, ie the magnetic field is being depleted and the researcher not accounting for that
JFC: I hate anyone with these types of claims (300% over unity power production) who have links to 1. Background 2. Theory Papers 3. Test Results 4. Critical Reviews 5. Contact 6. Conference on Space Physics ... where the fuck is 'buy one now' 'mass production schedule in your capital city' ... 'lecture tours and demonstrations' ...
JFC: can't you raise the funds simply by fucking selling the 300% over unity power you are fucking generating?
JFC: "The best airfares are expected to be available by the 1st of March 2001" March is gone, baby
JFC: where's the report?
JFC:
JFC: test results this is like three tests, and some calculations (scroll down past the photos) .. you claim 300% over unity power, and then only run the thing 3 times and take some snaps with an instamatic? get fucked.
JFC: "the bottom line You don't have an over-unity system until you can demonstrate a stand-alone device which drives itself and simultaneously generates a non-zero output power."
JFC: criterion number 1. number 2 is that the energy is not being extracted by already-understood means from the materials of constructoin. get these two, and you have an interesting phenomenon.
JFC: extracting energy from materials is still interesting, if the materials are naturally loaded, or can be loaded by some other cheap method. but it's boring if it's just a way for you to trick us into belieiving you have a free energy device.
JFC: k?

coderman: lazy bastards. what the hell is with AES256 but no SHA512?

coderman: OH NOES!??! what does it mean? it means nobody really has any fucking clue. which is not a reassuring state of affairs.
coderman: but we're pretty sure the cluelessness will not have practical impact for a decade or two...

thoughts on one time pads
posted by coderman at 2006-01-31 02:00

coderman: there seem to be two schools of poo poo 'ing pads
coderman: there is the "OTP is useless because key distribution is intractable for practical purposes" school
coderman: and the "OTP used with any other cipher system is worthless, because you might as well just use that cipher system (the weak link) by itself and be rid of annoying pads"
coderman: but what they both miss is that OTP work well for symmetric key distribution, and this is better than a single AES secret as parts of the pad can be delegated within a security domain, and that exchanged keys are ephemeral rather than a product of a chained block cipher
coderman: so really, the secret sauce is as follows: OTP + frequent rekeying + key based capabilities + delegation/federation within a security domain
