Clinical Trials for White blood cell infusions to treat cancer

The Wake Forest Clinical trial for granulocyte infusions to cure cancer was cancelled but a new South Florida clinical trial is proceeding. The clinical trials are to see if simple blood transfusions can transfer cancer immunity from people with strong cancer immunity to those without such strong immunity. This procedure has been shown to cure …

Mach Effect Part II

This is a follow up to the Mach Effect introduction article and interview article that Nextbigfuture had with Paul March. Reminder: Mach Effect is based on a theory of inertia that is consistent with General Relavity that is about one hundred years old where inertia is the gravititional effect of all gravity from all matter …

EEstor has third party certification on Relative Permittivity for Supercapacitors

— EEStor, Inc. announces third party certification tests by Texas Research International’s Dr. Edward G. Golla, PhD., Laboratory Director. They certified that EEStor’s patented and patent pending Composition Modified Barium-Titanate Powders have met and/or exceeded a relative permittivity of 22,500. This is a high relative permittivity which is good for EEStor’s supercapacitors. EEStor’s supercapacitors could …

60 Minutes on Cold Fusion

The Cold Fusion segment on 60 Minutes. Michael McKubre is an electro-chemist who imagines, in 20 years, the creation of a clean nuclear battery. “For example, a laptop would come pre-charged with all of the energy that you would ever intend to use. You’re now decoupled from your charger and the wall socket,” he explained. …
