OK, my previous post may have seemed quite hostile, but I assure you, not without good reason. So let me defend myself.
I have been around these forums for a good many years now, and what many of you do not realise is that certain characters have been playing their games for along, long time. It is a real shame that when people such as myself and Exn expose frauds, con-men and charlatans for what they really are, that we are often the ones that are regarded in a bad light. The truth is that I have come to despise Mike Nunnerley and people like him, not only because of the constant nonsense they spout, but also because of what they stand for.
People need to understand that there are those that thrive in the spotlight, those that pose as authorities on the subject, those that make all manner of claims and those that will happily take credit for other peoples work. Mike John Nunnerley is one such individual. Over the years I've seen them all come and go. Among the ranks are the likes of Aaron Murakami, Bob Boyce, Tutanka, Alaskastar, H2Opower, Gadgetman, Lindemann, to name but a few. But MJN is right at the top of the pile with Murakami and Lindemann, because not only has he persistently peddled his bullshit, sucking in the pitifully naive and gullible for years now, but he ultimately aims to profit from it.
I defy anyone to find even one scrap of useful (or meaningful) information that MJN has ever brought to the party. I defy anyone to find a post whereby MJN backs up one of his (many) invention claims with any kind of supporting evidence whatsoever. You won't be able to, because Mike steals other peoples work and other peoples ideas and claims them as his own, the downside of this for him though is that he never fully understands the processes or the concepts. For years he has taken credit for other peoples work, and yet, in fact, actually produced nothing tangible himself. Of course he will tell you different, stating that he has achieved this, that and indeed the other, but it really is just all empty talk with absolutely no substance. If you look hard enough you will find that what he does is lay down a wide variety of snippets of information gleaned from other sources, but claimed as his own, in the hope that, if or when, someone actually produces the goods, he can lay claim to being the originator. He has done this for years and still does. He claimed that Audi stole one of his inventions, and indeed tried to take some credit for the Kanzius (burning water) discovery, claiming he had in fact done this years ago. He claims he has had patents stolen and that other patents were in fact his work, etc, etc. In fact, over the years he has fabricated a whole elaborate history of claimed inventions - none of which, rather strangely, have ever seen the light of day on any forum.
Ask him a technical question about one of his so-called inventions, or ask him even a basic question about the science involved and he is completely flummoxed. His usual response in such circumstances is to 1. Be highly evasive, 2. Completely change the subject, 3. Attempt to belittle the person for asking a 'dumb' question, 4. (the classic fall back) Claim he is restricted by a non-disclosure agreement or a patent-pending, and 5. (the one I love) You will have to figure it out yourself... like I did. ...Yeah, right! Anyway, which ever excuse is deployed, you can be certain of one thing: you will be told nothing of any consequence, you will be shown nothing of any consequence, you will learn nothing from anything he posts, and ultimately be non-the-wiser for the interaction. At some point - provided that you are not one of the super-gullible that will believe anything and everything anyone posts - you will realise that you are being led on a very pointless, merry dance. MJN is quite simply a fraud, and a man that relies heavily - and indeed preys on - the gullible.
His website is an absolute joke, and clearly exists solely because he hopes to benefit financially from the 'Donations' button. There is nothing of any consequence on his website, just inaccurate information and snippets of the same old rubbish he posts on forums. It is unfinished and it hasn't been updated or added to since its creation in 2008 (rather coincidentally around the same time that the Kanzius discovery came to be public knowledge).
So, people really do need to understand that MJN (very much like Aaron Murakami) has his own agenda. Don't be fooled by him, he has little knowledge and even less understanding of the things he claims. Look up 'Charlatan' in the dictionary; the definition perfectly describes MJN.
With me, what you see is what you get. I work the science and proffer information gleaned from my knowledge and experience. I never make unfounded claims, or claim to be anything I'm not. So before you knock me for my bluntness, my rude ill-mannered post, ask Mike a few scientific questions about his synthetic fuels or his super efficient SMD electrolysis... and then ask yourself who should you trust... MJN or myself?
Now that's off my chest, on to the science... or rather, lack of.
The main problem with the whole insulating oxide, dielectric layer idea, is that it is flawed - and those that stand by it are clearly lacking not only in aptitude, but also in an understanding of basic science.
If as MJN states, one electrode has to be completely insulated, then this insulation layer becomes the dielectric, the voltage sits across this layer and has no effect on the water which simply becomes a conducting extension of the uninsulated electrode. Water is a very poor dielectric - of course it is, it is a far better conductor than it is an insulator!
I have stated this many a time, and surely common sense and logic dictates that the voltage will sit across the insulation, not the water - what is wrong with people? Naudin at JLN Labs experimented with this by completely insulating one electrode, and, guess what... nothing happened. I really can't emphasise enough that MJN doesn't have a clue what he is talking about, he is simply doing what he always has done, that is, creating a persona of someone who is an authority on the subject, whilst in reality he is just bullshitting his way through. And I might add, he does this exceptionally well, because he has fooled people for many years with this technique. He does this so well in fact that many of the unscientific and gullible folk out there consider him an authority on a subject that he clearly knows nothing about. Incredible really.
