This is the author Francis K. Fong's Index Blog, http://fkfong.blogspot.com. It consists of 7 blogs, maintained to support NSFfunding.com's Synopsis on the Calvin cycle.
Work on this Synopsis iniated in response to a tape recorded request by Associate IG (Criminal) Peggy Fischer, National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Inspector General (OIG). The Calvin cyle is an NSF fraud case, a federal false claim instituted in July of 1955 by Purdue to do photosynthesis in the light in the dark. (There is no typographical misprint in this sentence.)
Fong's composition of the requested Synopsis was complicated by a second false claim by Purdue, that of a novel method for generating nuclear fusion energy. The Calvin cycle claim was submitted in 2007 by Communications Director LuAnn Canipe as the FBI PX 45 request as an integral part of the investigation of this nuclear fusion claim by the House Oversight Subcommittee. The submission led to the Kyrouac Agreement, of which a summary by AOUSC's Kelly Lee provides a focus of this investigation to supplement Cordova's correct response to the two-pronged question. Fortunately, on 2-1-10, Purdue University President France Cordova enabled Fong's compliance under this request by her finding as follows:

- Purdue instructor Dale W. Margerum on 7-4-55 released a news story, Hunt Submissions at 100, in furtherance of the Calvin cycle, and
- Margerum's story - that Calvin and co-workers "by a separate collection of soluble chemicals" performed all of the steps in the dark reaction cycle in photosynthesis - became NSF's standard for funding photosynthesis research contrary to Calvin and co-workers' published findings in research journals.

Earlier versions of NSFfunding.com's synopsis site, The Calvin Cycle Website, http://www.nsffunding.com, were distributed to, in addition to a narrow audience of Federal and State authorities, the author Francis K. Fong's colleagues at Purdue. The purpose was to elicit from them the Purdue administration and chemistry faculty's view on the National Science Foundation's (NSF) re-evaluation of its dark photosynthesis funding standard, the Calvin cycle. Purdue's response to this distribution brought about Fong's receiving from a Justice Department (DOJ) source an unexpected package. The result was Fong's placing a renewed focus on Purdue trustees' 711-acre Munster Plains (Lawler tract) developments, from which arose NSF's dark photosynthesis standard.
ReplyDeleteIn 1958-59, Fong for his undergraduate thesis was intrigued by two energy-related research topics: Melvin Calvin's claim of solar conversion by the carbon cycle in photosynthesis, later known as the Calvin cycle (see, Banner Image) and energy generation by nucler fusion. He was puzzled by Calvin's claim, because the original papers by Calvin et al reported that the carbon cycle does not exist in photosynthesis, and chose the second topic for his thesis, The ABC of Nuclear Fusion.
In time, Calvin's claim of the carbon cycle - contrary to his original papers - became Fong's consuming interest. Then, in the spring of 2007, Communications Director LuAnn Canipe submitted the subject matter of this Website as an integral part of the House Oversight Subcommittee's investigation of a claim of thermal energy conversion into nuclear fusion in Purdue's "tabletop bubbles research." By that submission, it seems as though the two pursuits in Fong's research became merged in a single investigation, that of federal false claims calculated to penetrate the United States Treasury.
Purdue's "tabletop bubbles"
ReplyDeleteIn his letter of 6-18-07, Hunt Submission at 11, to Purdue officers Martin Jischke and Tim McGinley, Fong wrote:
“The Coulomb barrier for these fuels is ~0.01 MeV. By ultrasound blasts, you claim to have reached a core temperature of 15,000 K, or 1.3 eV. The high tail end of the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution of this core temperature could reasonably reach temperatures sufficient to break up the C-D bonds (~4 eV). Your observation of sonoluminescence is consistent with the ensuing molecular recombination reactions, but the 1.3 eV is 10,000 times less than the 0.01 MeV energy barrier. This cursory analysis would thus support a conclusion, preliminarily at least, that, whatever the ‘intensity’ of the bubbles' collapse, you never attained fusion. Therefore, your ‘tabletop experiment’ is incapable of being reproduced.”
The probability of Purdue’s achieving nuclear fusion with “ultrasound blasts,” a 1:10,000 proposition, is approximately equal to that of a 2-year old child capable of reaching a 1.3 ft height in one jump conquering the Everest Summit at 29,028 ft from its base camp at 17,600 ft in one single hop.
