[Vo]:Spin Coupling
Spin coupling is a superset phrase for several types of energy transfer mechanisms, including angular momentum coupling, magnetic coupling and much more. Unfortunately, there is no scholarly paper to elucidate all of the intricacy of this phenomenon, as it applies to LENR. Mention was made of spin coupling in gravimagnetics by Horace Heffner years ago, and it is too bad he is not here to bring those comments up to date in a broader context. It was part of Julian Schwinger's approach to LENR, far earlier. Spin coupling exists as a way to transfer energy across vast scales of geometry, all the way from galaxies down to quarks. Included in the term are 1) magnetic dipole coupling 2) LS coupling of hydrogen and possibly potassium, where the electron spins interact among themselves in groups to form a total spin angular momentum (similar to magnons); 3) J coupling, which is also called indirect dipole-dipole coupling which is mediated through hydrogen bonds connecting two spins. 4) JJ coupling happens between heavier atoms like nickel; 5) Spin-spin coupling 6) Magnon coupling 7) Mössbauer coupling 8) Nuclear coupling, which is stronger at short distances and is incorporated directly into the nuclear shell model. 9) Subatomic spin coupling of quarks and pions QCD etc. Certainly there are others under the umbrella of spin coupling. A focus on spin coupling phenomenon - as the main source of nuclear gain, without gamma radiation, is new to somewhat new to LENR and it is not clear who to attribute the idea to, possibly Schwinger in a simpler form - but it stands as an alternative way to transfer mass-energy from heavy nuclei, directly to light nuclei, then to electrons, then to magnons (in the sense of a coherent array). The energy is nuclear, but there is no fusion nor is it Mills, even if reduced orbitals are involved. The result is spatial thermal gain which is similar in some respects to the way a magnetic core of a transformer heats up. Yet in the end the gain is mass-to-energy - since nuclear mass converts to spin at a basic subatomic level, starting at the quark level and QCD. The main problem is that there could be much more going on in any LENR experiment than spin coupling. In fact, spin coupling can co-exist with nuclear fusion, beta decay, hydrinos or any other nuclear process. Plus, gain from spin coupling can make incidental fusion reactions seem more robust than they in actuality ... or vice-versa. By that, it is suggested that spin coupling, providing only milli-eV of energy per nucleon, but which is transferred at terahertz rates, is a mechanism which can provide many Watts of thermal gain, which can make a few incidental fusion reactions stand-out as being more important than they are... or vice versa. This is a complex and interesting angle - for looking at gain in nickel-hydrogen systems for several reasons. First, of course is that nickel is ferromagnetic and many experiments have shown changes around the Curie point of nickel. Second is the Letts/Cravens effect and the recent NI-Week demo of Dennis Cravens, and the magnetic work of Mitchell Swartz - all of which show a strong connection of magnetism to excess heat.

Re: [Vo]:Spin Coupling
Jones-- You are mystical in your assessment of spin coupling. I am also a mystic. The presence of a magnetic field is known to separate the energy states associated with spin energy. The variation of magnetic fields may allow the random connection with resonant frequencies and spin quantum states in a matrix of Ni or any other solid state material. I do not know about Heffner or Springer, but more power to them. Why has Peter not taken up spin coupling except in passing noting that his new Hamiltonian is relativistic and considers a loosy spin-boson model with (I assume) energy coupling? My thoughts about spin coupling go all the way back to PF in 1989. They were vague and reflected my ideas presented in my early correspondence with Vortex-l in February. The subsequent discussion with you and others on this blog have certainly enhanced my ideas. The two dimensional and one dimensional issues associated with nano particles and structures I believe is a key issue in understanding the reaction potential and spin coupling in a magnetic field. Your third item in the list below regarding hydrogen bonds is also noted and may be a key model to consider in the fractionation of spin energy from nuclei to a matrix or molecule with hydrogen bonding. The comment I made to Eric regarding his recent spread sheet follows hereinafter and addresses potential spin coupling between Ni-62 and Cu-63. The first reaction that produces Ni-59 will end up as Co-59 with no gammas since the Ni-59 decay involves an electron capture and a hot beta +, which will give thermal energy to the matrix ( about .0.52 Mev) with a subsequent beta+, beta- decay with its back-to-back .51 Mev gammas. The total energy from the Ni-59 decay--half live 7.6x10^4 years-- is 1.073 Mev. Ni-59 has a -3/2 spin and and Co-59 has a -7/2 spin. It seems that spin is changed since the beta+ particle would only carry +or- 1/2 spin. I do not understand how spin angular momentum is conserved in the Ni-59 decay reaction, unless there are several neutrinos involved which could carry away spin angular momentum. You have not considered neutron capture reactions with the various Ni isotopes. If the H reacts in the magnetic field in the Rossi device with an electron to form a neutron as an intermediate virtual particle, then Ni-58 would go to Ni-59 and hence to Co-59 as described above. Proton absorption reaction with Ni-60 would give Cu-61 with a 3.41 H half life. Cu-61 decays by electron capture and gives a beta+ with soft gammas (.28 and .65 Mev) and a stable Ni-61 isotope. (Focardi indicated that Cu was formed and in non-natural isotopic ratios in the Rossi device.) This conclusion seems to differ from your table regarding the desirability of the reaction. Proton absorption reaction with Ni-58 gives Cu-59 which decays with a half live if 82 s and produces a beta+ at 3.75 Mev and hot gammas at 1.3 Mev. Total energy of this decay is 4.8 Mev. This does not look like it would be a reaction that Rossi would like given the hot gamma. And there is a radioactive product, since the final item is Ni-59 with its long half life and its .51 Mev gammas from the beta+ annihilation. A proton reaction with Ni-62 would give Cu-63, which is stable. This reaction would involve a decrease in energy (mass) of about 6.22 Mev. How the energy would be released is a question. It may be distributed by spin coupling to the rest of the matrix electrons and hence as thermal energy. Rossi would not want Ni-58, but Ni-62 and Ni-62 would seem to be ok. Ni-61 would be undesirable also since it gives Cu-62 with the addition of a proton, and Cu-62 decays with a hot gamma of 1.17 Mev. It is my thought that there may be two reactions occurring at the same time with spin of the resulting Cu-63 isotopes having equal but opposite excited spin states such that spin angular momentum change is 0 and each of the two new Cu-63 nuclei decay from their excited states at the same time, coupling with electrons in the matrix, with each electron receiving a quanta or two in the process. It may be that a pair of protons, a Cooper pair, actually react with two Ni-62 nuclei in a solid state BEC configuration. The magnetic field that exists in the Ni matrix would cause the degenerative quantum states in the adjacent Ni nuclei to allow the necessary excited spin states to handle the excess mass energy released in the reactions. All this is without gammas. How's that for a guess?

He describes a nuclear structure in which the nucleons arrange in an FCC lattice, with layers of protons and neutrons sandwiched together, and, in larger nuclei, forming a diamond-like structure (see slide 46). Cook suggests his model does away with the need for long-range effective forces between nucleons and allows the nucleus to be understood entirely in terms of interactions between nearest neighbors. I do not know anything about Cook, but he appears to have published in some reputable journals. The slides were connected with ICCF 15, which looks like it took place in Rome in 2009. Cook contrasts his model with the independent particle model, the liquid drop model and the lattice model of the nucleus. There is almost no obvious connection to LENR. A slide at the very end suggests that his model explains why symmetrical daughters are produced in the fission of palladium at low energies, and at an earlier point he seems to be saying that there is a ~ 3 MeV magnetic attractive force between nearest neighbor nucleons. To be honest, I don't see an obvious connection to LENR, possibly apart from the magnetism bit.

[Vo]:Spin coupling of DDL to 62Ni
If there is a real DDL species in LENR (hydrogen isomer with electron orbital at less than 10 Fermi), even if it is a transitory species with a lifetime of only nanoseconds, then there is a way for nickel to provide the thermal gain, by spin coupling with no fusion required. In fact, if there is such a DDL species, chances are that it could be a transitory oscillator, such that the rate of oscillation is resonant with the phonon rate of nickel. Rice and Kim show here that the DDL is not stable for extended periods. They do not show that the DDL is impossible... http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/RiceRAcommentsona.pdf but they also demonstrate that they do not understand Mills' CQM theory To overcome the objections to the DDL, and to nickel spin coupling, please consider all of these points as a package, and not individually. Back in early 2011, we talked about the final revision of the Rossi patent filing. In his application Rossi's bets everything on Ni62 as THE important reactant - US 2011/0005506. His reasoning could be incorrect, but it is likely that Rossi tested pure isotopes and found that Ni-62 was indeed the active isotope. Otherwise Rossi would not have bet the farm on one isotope, since ... if he is wrong on that single detail he has lost all protection against infringement. QUOTE from application: Accordingly, it is indispensable to use, for the above mentioned exothermal reactions, a nickel isotope having a mass number of 62. That pretty much says it all when we consider the properties of this isotope (and if we ignore Rossi's reasoning in the patent for why this isotope works). He could be right for the wrong reason. BTW - the patent was granted in Europe to his wife Maddalena Pascucci, who is an attorney, and presumably had good advice on patent law - but again - the US application is not granted. However, the USA is a signator to the PCT so Pascucci could get protection here for the nickel-62 part - and perhaps for little else. Why Ni-62 ... and why bet the farm? Nickel-62 is at the very pinnacle of stability - having the highest binding energy per nucleon in the entire Periodic Table (8.8 MeV). There is no more stable isotope known to science. This binding stability would actually prohibit it from participating in proton nuclear fusion reactions, as Rossi suggested, but would allow spin energy (part of the binding energy) to be coupled and depleted - simply because there is plenty to spare. Too bad that he did not realize this distinction. BTW - it is duly noted that other nickel and iron isotopes have very high binding energy as well, but a lot of weight goes to Rossi's testing of isotopes against each other. That is what is meant by Rossi being right for the wrong reason This stability of Ni-62, combined with ferromagnetism is especially relevant for the combination of a strong magnet with a material which cannot be saturated; and the DDL, with an effective field strength at the 10 Fermi level in the range of giga-T (billions of Tesla) is that strong magnet. Deraz - claims there is no saturation level for NiO, and even if doubts are warranted on that particular point, it could be important in the context of spin coupling to find an extreme level of saturation capability, with which to mate with giga-T fields. The result is spin coupling. www.electrochemsci.org/papers/vol7/7054608.pdf In short, as of now, with dozens of alternative theories floating around for the gain in Ni-H, the best emerging scenario - from my perspective seems to be one which is 1) No fusion occurs in Ni-H. It is a different beast that Pd-D. 2) But the gain is Nuclear, in the sense of mass conversion into energy 3) It is Nanomagnetic in the sense that spin energy is involved at small geometry 4) Probably involves a transitory version of the DDL, which oscillates at IR frequency, due to SPP interaction at the top and spin coupling at the bottom, such that the collapse and reinflation are slightly asymmetric in energy 5) Thus there is net heat. 6) The gain comes mostly from Ni-62 by spin coupling to its high level of composite spin, 7) Oxygen if present in the nickel in small amounts could allow increased saturation capability 8) It is not clear if the Ni-62 gives up some of its own mass, or is a gateway to the Dirac sea ... Either way, this is LENR but it is also non-fusion LENR Any and all of these suggestion are subject to change as soon as better data arrives. All we can do now is look at the big picture as being shadows on Plato's cave. attachment: winmail.dat
Re: [Vo]:Spin coupling of DDL to 62Ni
Jones-- I would bet that Pd lattice can also provide high magnetic fields and spin coupling as you have indicated for Ni-62. It may not be as effective however. Eric--take note of Jones assessment of spin coupling and the importance of magnetic fields. What causes the latency you outline earlier as being low may be off base. I think that resonant conditions established via thermal control may be the key. To start a spin coupling reaction the proper temperature must be established. Once established it is self maintained and self limiting because higher temperatures destroy the resonant conditions needed for coupling. Note that the hot cat probably merely added items to the lattice to change the resonant conditions. The peak of the black body spectrum is the key to controlling the reaction. The sharper the peak the easier the control.

RE: [Vo]:Spin coupling of DDL to 62Ni
John, I’m quite familiar with what Meulenberg has written over the years on the DDL but it is not his invention. He deserves lots of credit for promoting it, however. Nor is the DDL really attributable to Mills. In fact, RM can be faulted for not acknowledging the previous work. Mills does add the Rydberg steps, which is a nice touch. In fact, Meulenberg is well aware of the Rice/Kim objections, and he cannot counter them, or at least there is no indication in published documents that he can. Rice/Kim make a strong case, despite one shaky assumption. One way to salvage the DDL, since it seems so intuitive to the problem of LENR, is to consider it as transitory. IMO – that tactic – a transitory oscillation, with inherent asymmetry, can work; but - a time-stable DDL is probably out of the picture. From: Foks0904 I don't mind the Mills hypothesis. I wouldn't be shocked if it was correct. You can even tell Storms has a begrudging respect for it. I like the Meulenberg-Sinha take on it as well. There was an article form last year I believe in JCMNS that explores the DDL in depth. Meulenberg seemed to think it was important. You might find it worthwhile considering your interest in the subject. I just think there are some serious problems with the model as well -- such as the instability issue. CF-LENR I think would be an even more amazing story if it ended up granting insight into dark matter and such. I just wouldn't proclaim that too loudly at this point -- it's not exactly a credibility-generating maneuver at this awkward time in CF-LENR's present development image.

Re: [Vo]:Spin coupling of DDL to 62Ni
LENR reactions with nickel is a very rare minority reaction. The primary reaction is in the extraction of nuclear energy from hydrogen crystals (Rydberg matter). A NiH reactor can operates for months and years without much deterioration of the nickel nano-structures through transmutation. The NiH reactor produces only light elements. The DGT ash assay shows little nickel consumed and little copper produced. The nuclear energy produced in the NiH LENR reaction is absorbed in the hydrogen envelope because the 3 grams of nickel powder does not have sufficient thermodynamic presents to transfer heat to the structure of the reactor without deterioration through sintering. Many other transition metals are capable of supporting the LENR reaction. Nickel is best because it is a perfect infrared reflector. Ni58, Ni60, Ni62 and Ni64 are all capable of supporting LENR because they are NMR inactive. Ni61 is NMR active and will waste energy by producing radio frequency radiation.

RE: [Vo]:Spin coupling of DDL to 62Ni
-Original Message- From: Terry Blanton Well, I'm working on my own pet theory but can't find the information to support it. I think the Rossi effect works by conversion of electrons directly into energy. Crazy, huh? Not really crazy - Rossi/Focardi's old comments relates to positrons as one of the possibilities - along with Ni-Cu. The way to convert electrons to energy is via positrons (anti-electrons). However, that radiation signature shows up quite well with meters, and it is probably why in 2011, Bianchini who was hired to look for a radiation signature, used a meter designed specifically for positron/electron detection. Sorry but the result was negative.
