I never could understand how magnets could produce overunity effects until the 
Higgs mode has turned up in anisotropic magnets.

 

To refresh our memories from a old post from Russ Gerorge as follows:

I had the privilege of standing in the parking lot of the hotel where Chukan ov 
had his demo running for several hours in the company of Martin Fleischmann 
fusing some of our little grey cells over that device. Chukanov answered or at 
least responded to every single question we posed to him and we sent many his 
way. It was a fascinating and captivating demo. Martin was the kind of man who 
had insatiable curiosity and not a mean molecule in his body and showed it in 
his sincere interest and professorial manner. Chukanov sent us both away with 
several large chunks of his metal.

Meanwhile the hundreds of ICCF conference attendees almost entirely shunned the 
‘parking lot demo’ and Chukanov, especially the self-appointed high priest 
insiders of cold fusion. There was little but derision and snide attacks behind 
Chukanov’s back at the meeting.

After a couple hours in hot afternoon sun with Chukanov and his machine Martin 
and I adjorned to the beach and floated for a long time like basking whales 
chatting about this and that.  

Somewhere in my collection of ‘cold fusion’ holy treasures I have some of 
Chukanov’s SmCo5 metal. I think I will dig it out and see if some of the recent 
‘activation’ ideas make it work even better!

 

The SmCo5 magnet is an anisotropic magnet.

the Higgs amplitude mode, is seen as a close relative to the Higgs boson. Since 
the Higgs boson was first theorized in the 1960s, the first physical discovery

we look at the new quantum state known as the Higgs mode, the materials that 
the Higgs mode is found in and the Higgs Boson itself. The Higgs amplitude mode 
is a quantum phenomenon seen in materials and occurs when the magnetic field of 
its electrons fluctuate in a way similar to that of a Higgs boson. The 
materials that exhibit this phenomenon can do so because the crystal structure 
of the material enables the electrons to behave in such a way. When the Higgs 
mode presents itself in these materials, the material is often undergoing a 
quantum phase transition. The Higgs mode has been detected in many different 
systems, including in ultracold atomic gases, disordered superconductors, and 
dimerized quantum magnets. However, in many cases, the Higgs mode is unstable 
and decays. As such, it has only been reported in a handful of publications. 
However, some systems can support these quantum effects without decaying. The 
earliest experimental observation was seen in the Raman scattering of a 
superconducting charge-density wave compound. The Raman spectra found an 
unexpected peak that was later characterized as the presence of a Higgs mode. 
In a system where the Higgs mode is presented, the Higgs field in that system 
can be made to fail, in effect, the system topples the Higgs field inside that 
system. When the Higgs field fails, the forces of nature revert back to the way 
they were before the Higgs field manifested in the universe. That time is about 
10^-43 seconds after the big bang. All sorts of weird and unworldly behaviors 
then developed in those Higgs mode systems

In a nonlocal world, there is only one object, since every place is the same 
place.  Should we suspect that the vast population of objects (and of minds) is 
illusory? Every mind is actually one mind?  (A very popular concept in 
nonwestern religion eh?)

While I was recovering from a kick-ass dream, and before opening my eyes, I was 
thinking very clearly, and couldn't escape a single question:  HOW DOES THE 
FREAKIN' ADDRESSING SYSTEM WORK?  No answer presented itself.  I think the 
question alone was the important thing.  If we can FIGURE OUT HOW the nonlocal 
world can support "space" or "extension" or "multiple apparent minds," then I 
suspect that we'll have lept forward in understanding everything, basically all 
of physics.  In the underlying nonlocal plenum, where everything experiences 
instantaneous communication, because everything occupies the same location, how 
can there ever be more than one electron, one photon in the universe?

I suspect that the nonlocal world is nonlinear.  If so, then any sort of 
oscillation will not occupy a spot on the frequency spectrum, because two 
oscillations will couple together, producing a complicated dynamic "shape" 
in the spectrum.  I think this would lead to a frequency spectrum with multiple 
dimensions?  Where every oscillation frequency adds a new axis to the graph?  
This is like a radio with many tuning knobs, and each "station" has a separate 
nunber-code in the knob-settings.  If so, I think that would provide sufficient 
"space" for a universe of apparent bosons and leptons (and minds.)

In that case, similar objects would be strongly coupled together, while vastly 
different objects would have weak coupling, and the same rule should apply 
across all scales.  "Telepathy" would be common among each particle class (and 
each animal species, but weaker between disparete species.  Among humans we 
might expect strong telepathy between identical twins?  And if instantaneous 
telepathy is common, we might predict that, while individual amoebae, mice, 
etc., aren't too intelligent, the entire species might exhibit an emergent 
"common mind" with godlike processing power, higher power when the population 
is larger.  Be kind to cockroaches, and the cockroach-goddess will become your 
friend.

In any case, this would be an "Everything Is Just Frequency" theory, beloved of 
Nikola Tesla.

Tesla was EXTREMELY involved in nonlinear arrays of coupled oscillators, 
calling it "method of individualization," and using the trick for secure 
military comms, for a sort of FM-radio he called "the static-eliminator," 
as well as being the secret addressing system for his power-broadcast customers.

How could we engineer such a physics?

It suggests that "sympathetic magic" is the fundamental physics behind known 
physics.  To produce physical forces, or to establish communication between two 
distant objects, make them be similar.

Suggestion: in silicon, construct two vast micro-patterns: make some 3D 
pseudo-crystals having precise random (or fractal) checkerboard-like patterns.  
Then, make sudden small changes to one, while looking for identical signals in 
the other.  Or, monitor the noise of each one, looking for a 
coincidence-signal.  Or perhaps do something similar by using these linked 
crystals to build "brains," i.e. noisy RAM storage having hysterisis, where 
writing a pattern to one, causes the same pattern to appear in the other. 
(Imagine a world where, the more Iphone-37s sold, the closer to consciousness

If one is working with a quadrapole mass spec, and especially a small one like 
an RGA it will be impossible to devolve the peaks of 4He and D2. Only by being 
certain that little D2 is present by trapping it in a cold or getter trap on 
the way to the mass spec can one ever be certain that the sample is 4He instead 
of D2. The practice is clearly informative as one learns the operation of the 
RGA with and without the cold trap.

 

Don’t be fooled by imaginary methods with such close masses. No one will ever 
believe 4He in such an instrument without proof that the D2 signal is 
suppressed.

For 100kw/h about 1.2mg of deuterium are needed.

 

If pressure is lower then the relative density of D (D2 gas) increases, 
somewhere between 0.15 & 0.45g/l.The inventory is given by Ni/pd surface bound 
D, the volume (15l) of the reactor and the pressure factor (=0.003 for   300Pa) 
.

 

But Mizuno recommends to always let the bottle attached and of course he did 
feed additional deuterium if needed.

 

Holmid does not yet produce any energy. First he must avoid to mainly produce 
positive muons...

Reality Check. Surprisingly, nuclear fusion of deuterium into helium seems NOT 
sufficiently energetic to account for the Mizuno claim of heating his home.
 
Mass is apparently being converted into energy, but how? And what are the 
ramifications of such a low reactor inventory of deuterium gas?
 
The main contenders for excess energy production would be:
 
1) D+D -> He
2) Deflation of electrons – i.e. the Millsean approach
3) Disintegration of deuterons into muons – Holmlid’s theory - which is far 
more energetic than fusion in terms of entropy per unit of mass 
4) Sequential Coulomb explosions from cluster formation –hypothesis from Hora, 
Miley etc.
5) Any combination or permutation of the above
 
If fusion of D into He is your choice - then one gram of fused deuterium yields 
10^12J (one terajoule)of energy, but when based on the low operating pressure 
of 100-300 Pa (100 Pa = .001 bar) and the need for low metal loading, as stated 
in his paper - that set of factors represents a tiny fuel inventory, such that 
when completely fused into helium would generate about 278 kilowatt hours of 
equivalent heat. 
 
If Mizuno was producing close to 3 kW continuous to heat his house in a Sapporo 
winter, he could run it for only about 100 hours without a refill if the gain 
was from fusion and the inventory was at the low end of his specs. At any rate, 
if the gain was from nuclear fusion only - then almost all of the deuterium 
would be converted, and the helium ash should be easily measurable.
 
There should be no need for a cold trap to increase the helium ratio – the 
residual gas after less than a week should be almost all helium, no? Even if 
these calculations are off by a large factor, the helium content should be 
obvious.
 
IOW – in the naïve assessment of the breakthrough claim of Mizuno – 
specifically the heating of his home – after 100 hours or so of operation, 
there should be a whopping milligram of helium and little deuterium in the 
reactor to measure.
 

In contrast – Holmlid’s theory proposes deuteron disintegration (with 
inadvertent fusion). His theory suggests that about 4 GeV of mass-energy per 
every two atoms of deuterium lost could be converted into energy. This is about 
150 times MORE potential energy per unit of mass (converted into energy) than 
can be derived from fusion into helium.

 

On the surface, then – fusion of deuterium into helium appears to be too weak a 
reaction to account for the Mizuno claims of heating his home, and only the 
Holmlid effect would have an adequate output.

 

Why isn’t the Holmlid effect the favored hypothesis?

2019-07-15 Thread russ.george
Mizuno has what is needed to measure 4He in his cold fusion reactions. He 
merely needs to employ a good carbon cold trap to reduce the level of deuterium 
in the gas aliquot going into his RGA. Without the cold trap the D2 signal will 
swamp the 4He signal and it won’t be observable. With the cold trap the D2 mass 
4 signal will be so dramatically reduced that the 4He shoulder on the D2 mass 4 
peak will become clearly resolvable and quantitatively measurable. I have built 
and tested such cold traps on my own RGA helium instruments and confirmed their 
reliable signal with samples presented to large magnetic sector mass specs 
where the 4He and D2 peaks are well separated on the baseline. I’d be happy to 
build such a cold trap for Mizuno if he simply asks for the favour, or coach 
him on its construction, a few hours work at most.  The measure of 4He in cold 
fusion is ‘childs play’ for any serious researcher. Of course the ‘toys’ needed 
cost a pretty penny and one has to have unchildlike patience.

All past experiments doing deuterium LENR I know always directly produced 4-He.

 

If somebody believes that no fusion would happen at all, then he should visit a 
priest.

 

The key feature of LENR is that fusion happens without any hard radiation that 
is significantly above background. We, in our lab, can produce LENR reactions 
with significantly above background gamma radiation. But that is intention to 
study the LENR mechanism.

 

In the H-H case the SO(4) bond structure of dense hydrogen does not allow 
direct fusion. Here we see only 500eV going out what is a kind of no go for H-H 
LENR. H(-H) LENR only works with Lithium  and other elements  that allow the 
add-on of H* that of reacts like a neutron.

 

But there were also experiments like 56Fe + H* --> pseudo 57-Co, that behaves 
halve like 57-Co and finally halve like 57-Fe.

finally a very strange state.. similar to halo nuclei.

 

In the Mizuno case we certainly will see 4-He with a 4-He a part > that 106 of 
the 3-He part.

*   I assume there is one fundamental cause of cold fusion in all systems. 
It is the same thing in all cases. This is similar to saying that fission is 
the same in reactors and bombs, although it looks and acts quite different.

 

This “one fundamental cause” could be the problem – you are tied to an 
assumption which is not proved. The fission analogy is not useful.

 

Of course such a basic logical error would hinder anyone’s ability to look 
beyond the limitations of the P effect – aka “cold fusion”. In fact in the 
earlier Mizuno work with nickel at higher pressure - cited in an older thread 
here -  where Mizuno  uses both protium and deuterium in different comparative 
runs at higher pressure  -  he gets actually better results (more excess heat) 
from  protium than with deuterium. You cannot deny this result.

 

To me this is solid evidence direct from Mizuno that there is more than “one 
fundamental cause” to excess heat – one being fusion and the other being very 
different; and thus all future devices must recognize that nuclear fusion is 
not required for excess heat. This is actually highly  desirable as "fusion” 
alone opens the regulatory doors for all kinds of unnecessary government 
intrusion.

 

Bottom line is that at least two fundamental causes of excess heat exist.  
Possibly more. One is nuclear fusion seen in electrolysis where typically 
lithium and high loading play a role.  Another cause is a non-fusion reaction 
with nickel as the reactant, low loading is desirable, and no lithium is needed.

 

A third possible reaction also acknowledged by Mizuno (and by Ed Storms) is 
sequential cluster formation with its signature radiation of 630 eV. That third 
one alone could be used for excess heat without the other two.

 

The nickel reaction works with either hydrogen or deuterium and to confuse 
things it is probably based on a “nuclear coupling” of some kind - (mass 
converted into energy) but it is not “nuclear fusion.”

 

It is pretty clear that both or all three fundamental causes for gain are valid 
over a thirty year history, and very different from each other - and no one 
knows this more clearly than Mizuno as it stands out prominently from his 
earlier papers.

Subject: [Vo]:The role of the Bose-Einstein Condensate in LENR

 

There is a common belief that a Bose-Einstein Condensate can only be created at 
a temperature near absolute zero. This is true for a Bose-Einstein Condensate 
of atoms.

 

But photons and spins can form a Bose-Einstein Condensate at very high 
temperatures. Light and spin are not sensitive to temperature. Temperature only 
applies to the motion and energy of atoms.

 

A Bose-Einstein Condensate and a Black Hole are mathematically identical: they 
are the same.

 

Using light, a black hole/Bose-Einstein Condensate can be generated. A 
Bose-Einstein Condensate can produce Hawking radiation. That is where the heat 
produced by LENR comes from.

 

See a black hole made from light at 43:26 of the following video. That vortex 
of light is also a Bose-Einstein Condensate of photons.

 

The subject of this video in its entirety is important to understand if you 
want to understand LENR.

What is implied if energy is being created from the vacuum?

What if LENR is generating its energy from the vacuum. What if most of the 
energy that is being produced in the universe is coming from LENR. This means 
that the universe is creating huge amounts of energy from nothing.

Production of energy from the vacuum means that the vacuum is unstable. The 
places where energy is being generated from the vacuum, the place where the 
LENR reaction is underway is known as a false vacuum.

The modern explanation for the metric expansion of space was proposed by 
physicist Alan Guth in 1979, while investigating the problem of why no magnetic 
monopoles are seen today. He found that if the universe contained a field in a 
positive-energy false vacuum state, then according to general relativity it 
would generate an exponential expansion of space.

In other words, LENR could be the cause of the expansion of the universe, dark 
energy, and dark matter.

-

If we want to understand LENR in fine detail, things can get very complicated 
and obscure.

 

Hawking radiation generated by a Bose-Einstein Condensate produces a positive 
energy photon and a balancing negative energy photon to keep the total vacuum 
energy generated at zero. What is a negative energy photon? And how is this 
type of photon realized in LENR?

 

A cornerstone of modern physics is mathematics. Like it or not, without the 
tools provided to physicists by mathematics, physics would be dead in the 
water. But (and this is something that all of us forget on occasion) solving 
equations is not the same as understanding the physics. A critical step in the 
development of physical insight is to recognize which solutions to an equation 
might correspond to reality, and which do not.

 

To give a concrete example, the equations of physics are blind to the direction 
of time, yet we know that solutions that involve time going backward are 
usually (but not always) invalid.

 

Unfortunately, as a recent publication in Physical Review Letters shows, even 
the brightest and best can get this wrong, and do so repeatedly over the course 
of years. A team of physicists has shown that light with a negative frequency 
(thought to be a quirk of the equations) actually, in some sense, exists.

 

The equations in question are Maxwell's, and they describe the propagation of 
light. When describing the propagation of light, the equations require that we 
describe the light field as having both positive and negative frequencies. A 
negative frequency would indicate a wave made up of photons that have a 
negative energy, something that doesn't necessarily make a lot of sense.

 

Using light to make light

 

A team of researchers has shown that, in some sense, negative frequencies can 
be observed through the generation of radiation with a positive frequency. To 
explore this idea, they looked at very intense light fields moving through 
certain types of glass and glass fibers. When the light field is very 
intense—as is the case when a very short, intense burst of light is 
created—this can lead to some very cool effects. In particular, when the light 
is passing through a material, the light field pushes the electrons around so 
hard that the electrons start to push back.

 

In a material like glass, the electrons can only move so far before they will 
be ripped away from the atom they are bound to. The harder you

Cold fusion is clearly composed of myriad forms that are seen on a continuum 
from the room temperature wet reactions Fleischmann and Pons revealed, to 
modestly to very hot dry reactions of many other researchers. Fleischmann made 
it clear that his wet room temperature fusion rates were greatly enhanced by 
modest temperature rise, as to the boiling point of his heavy water. My own 
experimental experience has paralleled Fleischmann’s cooking instructions and 
hotter is better. 

 

My experiments at the bench started with my efforts and success to produce and 
observe prodigious heat 4He and 3He in warm wet cold fusion some 29 years ago. 
This was highly productive though the skeptics, trolls, and competitive cold 
fusioneers were and remain such a blathering bother with their trolling of 
banal arguments about helium contamination that I no longer engage in the 
inevitable toxic discussions on that anti-social topic. Once one departs from 
wet warm cold fusion to hot dry cold fusion experiments, which I did following 
the work of Bockris 25years ago where gammas were found, I then continued on 
the hot dry trail that has led to many experiments up to the present. 

 

Today, at last, having paid my dues, when I am at the bench I am much more able 
to observe the definitive gamma spectra evidence of the myriad minor cold 
fusion reactions, to say nothing of the major reactions. The trolls, so-called 
skeptics, and competing cold fusioneers are of course once again raging with 
their attempts to make toxic these definitive lovely gammas in hopes that their 
bluster might overwhelm real data. The absolute requirement for observing cold 
fusion beyond any shadow of doubt in ‘low’ and now ‘high’ resolution gamma 
studies I use today is that one must have prodigious cold fusion in hand. It’s 
all about signal to noise, if one has next to no signal the noise will 
overwhelm any attempt to use very conventional high resolution gamma spectra to 
study and understand the atom-ecology of cold fusion. For some reason, more 
mysterious than cold fusion itself, very few cold fusion cooks seem to be able 
to follow and improvise to improve even the simplest of recipes.

 

As for how far back cold fusion goes there are some few examples that go back 
to well before the ‘atomic age.’

But Jones,

 

That's not what I said (I don't think).  What I was trying to get at was:

 

Hot fusion = Almost all of the fusion energy is delivered in the form of 
neutron kinetic energy + energetic gamma energy

 

Cold fusion = Almost none (lets say < 1E-6) of the fusion energy recorded is 
delivered in the form of neutron kinetic energy + energetic gammas

 

Otherwise, if cold fusion produced the energetic neutrons and gammas of hot 
fusion, the future for it may not be as interesting.  Whatever the "cold 
fusion" reaction is, it delivers fusion commensurate heat without the nasty 
energetic neutrons and gammas that makes it particularly interesting.  These 
energetic neutrons and gammas are a real quagmire for the hot fusion programs.  
The 50% energetic neutrons will activate the machinery turning it all into 
radioactive waste.  The machinery will have to be periodically replaced just 
due to neutron damage to the materials.  Hot fusion reactors may not have 
runaway reaction danger, but it will still be proliferating radioactive waste 
(admittedly shorter half life).  Also what is being turned into waste and 
having to be replaced will be expensive machinery.  The energetic neutrons will 
make hot fusion energy expensive.

Bob,

 

Well, given that there are claims of small amounts of neutrons and gammas in 
cold fusion by a number of reputable experiments, one cannot arbitrarily define 
the reaction as being neutron-free or gamma free.

 

From: Bob Higgins  

 

Jones - 

 

No, not humor.  Lack of neutrons and gamma has been -a- defining difference 
between hot fusion and cold fusion.  In hot fusion the energy is taken away by 
neutrons and gamma almost exclusively.  In cold fusion, there are no neutrons 
and gamma commensurate with heat production (or dead graduate students).  
Instead, there are low rate side productions of neutrons and gammas in cold 
fusion systems, but that may be due to a small branching ratio or a small 
amount of 2-body hot fusion occurring.  

 

The input energy going into many cold fusion experiments is certainly 
commensurate with that going into a Farnsworth fusor, but the Farnsworth 
reaction is widely regarded as being 2-ion hot fusion.

 

I have that report, but have only scanned it so far.  It could be that the 
neutron and gamma rates reported were small compared to the energy released by 
the reaction - do you

Biberian and I caught the first glimpse and identified this same silver anomaly 
at the US National Centre for Electron-Microscopy at Berkeley using a unique 
SEM/TOFSIMS machine back in the early 1990’s. Jean-Paul was a visiting 
scientist at the institute and managed to slip me in for some time studying my 
sonofusion samples on that unique machine that had a year-long waiting list for 
access time. He then volunteered and aome and work side by side in the lab that 
I shared with Roger Stringham and proved he is driven by the purest of 
scientific curiosity and a true friend could not be found. I know he remembers 
fondly the top burrito joint in Mountain View California where we dined. 

 

That initial work in the national lab led to extensive additional studies paid 
for the Electric Power Research Institute at Charles Evans Laboratory on their 
SEM and TOF SIMS instrument.  There my good friend Tom Passell and I sat for 
several days with the operator of the instrument being the top expert and man 
who built it. There was  a plethora of shifted isotope ratios observed, 
including the Ag 107 109,  so much so it was a difficult puzzle to unravel. 
This was the conorstone of my coming to understand that cold fusion is a 
natural phenomenon readily observable and understandable when one creates and 
observes the rare atom-ecology environment that is ultra-dense deuterium in 
metals. Thanks to friend Martin Fleischmann on his considerable council to me 
over the years on the uniqueness and wonder of what he called ‘gamma phase’ 
deuterium. Proven in my collaboration with Dr. George Chambers of NRL, as 
provided by NRL director Nagel, to be quite uniquely stable once created in 
palladium.

Subject: [Vo]:Nuclear spin coupling of hydrogen

 

 

 

The interaction between the nuclear spin of hydrogen and a host metal like 
palladium is sensitive to “physics beyond the standard model.”

 

IOW – it is not well understood. However, it may be a good time to assemble the 
main features of spin coupling which leads to facilitation of fusion.

 

In the article below, the authors present a variational approach and calculate 
the constant J in the hydrogen molecule with controlled numerical precision, 
using the adiabatic approximation. This study supposedly improves the 
reliability of the NMR theory for searching new physics in the spin-spin 
coupling. But it gets much harder to characterize spin coupling with heavy 
metal hydrides.

 

https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.120.083001

 

The constant J (and J-coupling) is not known to be relevant to a high energy 
reaction such as to facilitate nuclear fusion – but there must be more than 
electron chemistry involved to overcome the Coulomb barrier. Some isotopes 
however, have very high intrinsic nuclear spin and palladium has one such 
isotope. The standard model would need to be altered in order to find a way for 
spin coupling to overcome the Coulomb barrier – but that may happen easily, 
especially in the context of deuterium which is the only isotope with an 
overwhelming dipole bifurcation as it approaches a target nucleus.  In addition 
to J-coupling we have Magic angles, a Nuclear Overhauser effect and Magnetic 
moment to deal with.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J-coupling

 

There is a distinct likelihood that the active isotope of cold fusion in a 
palladium lattice has been identified by the recent analysis by Biberian of a 
P cathode from the French experiments - which produced a large amount of 
thermal gain 20 years ago.

 

This is the palladium-105 isotope which converts to silver-107. Aside from that 
identification – the exact mechanism of the reaction is not known, nor is it 
known if helium ash is produced in this transmutation, or if it is – how much 
energy it represents. Nor is it certain that there is only one type of fusion 
reaction in cold fusion. There could be another distinct reaction, but as of 
now - the hard proof of transmutation only exists for the high spin isotope – 
105Pd.

 

However, almost certainly this identification of the active isotope serves to 
eliminate the hypothesis that the amount of helium produced correlates exactly 
with an energy gain in the range of 24 MeV per fusion reaction. 

 

At best, the gain would be less per fusion and the helium derives from 
lithium-6 fusing with palladium 105… which seems unlikely to be the prime 
reaction.

 

More likely - for those who favor the “two step” methodology of Mills/Holmlid 
etc. or the binuclear atom of Accomazi - the proposed route is for UDD (or the 
di-deuterino or the binuclear atom) to approach the 105Pd nucleus as a neutral 
species, from whence the spin coupling results in additional range of strong 
force attraction so that we end up with a transmuted nucleus - 107Ag as a 
result  plus a free deuteron, which can thermalize without the high
