Abstract: We have discovered distinctive red/gray chips in all the samples we have studied of the dust produced by the destruction of the World Trade Center.
Examination of four of these samples, collected from separate sites, is reported in this paper. These red/gray chips show marked similarities in all four samples.
One sample was collected by a Manhattan resident about ten minutes after the collapse of the second WTC Tower, two the next day, and a fourth about a week later.
The properties of these chips were analyzed using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (XEDS), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
The red material contains grains approximately 100 nm across which are largely iron oxide, while aluminum is contained in tiny plate-like structures. Separation of components using methyl ethyl ketone demonstrated that elemental aluminum is present.
The iron oxide and aluminum are intimately mixed in the red material. When ignited in a DSC device the chips exhibit large but narrow exotherms occurring at approximately 430 °C, far below the normal ignition temperature for conventional thermite.
Numerous iron-rich spheres are clearly observed in the residue following the ignition of these peculiar red/gray chips. The red portion of these chips is found to be an unreacted thermitic material and highly energetic.

IS THERE A NANO THERMITE CONNECTION TO U.S. ECONOMIC FORECLOSURE? WHAT IS THE CONNECTION, HOW and WHY? NANO-THERMITE CAUSED WTC COLLAPSES on 9/11 -- se the paper by Harrit et al: “Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe" published in The Open Chemical Physics Journal, 2009, 2, 7-31 7 1874-4125/09 2009 Bentham Open by: Niels H. Harrit*,1, Jeffrey Farrer2, Steven E. Jones*,3, Kevin R. Ryan4, Frank M. Legge5, Daniel Farnsworth2, Gregg Roberts6, James R. Gourley7 and Bradley R. Larsen3 The scientific rigor of this effort by Harrit et al. is commended. This paper provokes the questions: WHY bring down the WTC skyscrapers? —WHAT was the motive? WHO conceived of the plan to detonate WTC’s on 9/11? ... And WHAT was the anticipated impact upon the U.S. economy? It would be desirable to get some recommendations from the authors of this scientific paper on possible directions for future research. The book HILLARY (ISBN#0978602404 by Alphar) traces the history of U.S. government subterfuge where the public is deceived for the sake of a “greater cause” beginning with the secret accidental nuclear explosion at Port Chicago, CA in 1944 -- up to the unbelievable official explanations for the three WTC skyscraper collapses on 9/11. Alphar has opened a forum on the website www.alpharpublish.com to present and discuss information and hypotheses regarding who, how and why the WTC’s were collapsed? —and is there any substantial connection to a plan for elements of the future U.S. economy... and avoidance of foreclosures etc upon the American economic system--or was it just a bumch of good old boys acting up?

After seven years of intensive experiments, PPRC became the first to conclusively demonstrate fusion energy is producible, repeatable, and sustainable over many hours at low (ambient) temperatures and low input energies. Patent applications were applied for in the United States and several other major industrial countries. Foreign international patent applications were filed under the Patent Cooperation Treaty. The company made its first public disclosure of its fusion yields during three presentations at an American Physical Society's Conference held in Salt Lake City on 5 October 2002. PPRC's two papers are now being published in World Scientific and have been submitted to a physics journal, awaiting publication. As with all serious investigators of fusion as an alternate energy, chief among the anticipated applications are reducing the need for internal-combustion engines (ground vehicles, aircraft, and spacecraft), airport and building security devices, medical and many other commercial applications, including independent megawatt power supplies and eventually power plants. With sufficient technical support from other laboratories, it is anticipated this can be accomplished by year-end 2007; this because only low-temperature physics and small input energies are involved. However, because much higher yields are required, new procedures, now proprietary, differ greatly from those detailed below. For example, several designs for the company's first prototype engine are already in place....... http://www.pprc.net/main.htm -- http://www.newenergytimes.com/Audio/1... Pons and Fleischmann came to believe that some of Jones' work was based on information derived from theirs, and therefore he did not deserve equal credit. So without so much as informing Jones or BYU, they arranged to publish in the Journal of Electrochemistry instead and proceeded to announce their findings at the press conference.

As an aside, Jones would, in later years, vehemently and publicly disparage the growing body of evidence that evolved to validate the Fleischmann-Pons type of cold fusion. Privately, though, in recent years, Jones appears to be seeking investment funds to develop cold fusion as an energy source , despite the fact that his version of cold fusion produces a trillionth of the energy than the Fleischmann-Pons version. Not surprisingly, as cold fusion (as a potential energy source) is coming into greater acceptance, Jones conceded on Feb. 13 that the Fleischmann-Pons claim of excess heat is real. On May 1, 1989, the physics community didn't seem to mind that Jones had completely contradicted what he had written just days earlier. It was relieved that Jones had publicly recanted his heretical proposition. After all, chemists doing cold fusion were easy to dismiss, but one of their own, a physicist? That would have been too much. Fleischmann and Pons, however, made no such retraction. Their threat to hot fusion was clear and present. They posed a threat not only to hot fusion researcher's stature and funding, but also to their entire worldview of physics. Unlike Vigier, most physicists failed to consider the possibility that the Fleischmann-Pons claim of excess heat may have been valid. http://www.newenergytimes.com/news/20... In 1996, while conducting research in an entirely independent area of theoretical physics, Frank Keeney became aware of what appeared a heretofore overlooked electromagnetic field attribute of sub-atomic particles. Further study showed promise of potential energy innovations. By 1997, having been advised the findings might relate to fusion energy, he began experiments in a rudimentary laboratory in Los Angeles, encouraged in achieving low-yield neutron emissions. Later, learning of Keeney's results, Steven Jones, Professor of Physics at Brigham Young University, expressed a willingness to assist using the university's sophisticated neutron and charged-particle detectors located in two underground laboratories. Keeney designed a more promising cell and arranged a contract for Jones to conduct the first experiments in a tunnel lab located near the campus, see Figures 1a and 1b. Fig. 1a. Jones and Keeney at tunnel lab located in Provo Canyon , Utah. Fig. 1b. Keeney and Jones with first experiment in tunnel lab. The tunnel lab had a heavy rock overburden to shield background radiations. (Keeney is shown pointing to his first cell in the picture at the right.) The first two experiments, using the same cell, comprised three deuterated copper wires in parallel and the application of a dc current. Since new theory was being tested at this point, yields were as expected, a few neutron counts/hour above background. However, both experiments were successful, uniquely achieving repeatability on the first runs. Other professionals were brought in, allowing innovative metal processing introduced by Consulting Engineer Charles Johnson and computer technology innovations provided by Consulting Engineer David Buehler. Continued results were sufficiently compelling that PPRC solicited investors and raised nearly a million dollars to sustain the research and develop further innovative processes.
