It strikes me that this is essentially the mechanism that Neal Graneau 
proposed to be responsible for the arc-liberated emission of energy in 
papers such as


https://www.academia.edu/download/38880867/Graneau-e-a-Arc-liberated-chemical-energy-exceeds-electrical-input-energy-2000.pdf

However, I dont beleive there is a phase change in the water that could 
be associated with such an energy release., which is one of the reasons 
why I dont think Neal's hypothesis holds water,

There is a new collection of dots that the quantum spin liquid is bringing
to the surface. The first is long distance entanglement. Even through the
spins are random locally, then are coherent at long distances with other
patches of random spins in the far field.

The spins become spinons, which are spins that exist separately from the
electrons. These spinons generate factional spin.

The spinons produce a new kind of magnetism, called spin liquid magnetism.

http://phys.org/news/2012-12-kind-magnetism-quantum-liquid.html

This spin liquid magnetism produces magnetic monopoles.

http://phys.org/news/2009-09-magnetic-monopoles-real-magnet.html

Finally, there is a theory that says that the vacuum is a quantum spin
liquid. That is how the cosmos is connected together through entanglement
and makes the vacuum a superconductor. This superconductivity of the vacuum
produces mass in certain types of particles.

For an overview see

If Russ George can connect all these dots together, it would make for a
fine article in his blog.

Monopole catalysis of proton decay

The possibility that a GUT monopole could catalyse a baryon number
violating process was suggested as early as 1980 [117]. The central core of
a GUT monopole retains the original symmetry and contains the fields of the
superheavy gauge bosons that mediate baryon number violation. Within this
core the forces of the universe are still indistinguishable from one
another and the quarks and their leptons are, in this domain, the same
particles. Thus, it is not unreasonable to expect that baryon number
conservation could be violated in baryon-monopole scattering. However, it
was originally thought that the cross section of this process would be of
the order of the tiny geometrical cross section of the monopole core (∼
10−58 cm2 ). Figure 1: A depiction of a proton decay into a positron and a
neutral pion catalysed by a GUT monopole. Later studies by Rubakov [118,
119] and Callan [120, 121] concluded that these processes are not
suppressed by powers of the gauge boson mass. Instead, catalysis processes
such as p + Monopole→e + + π 0 , pictured in Fig. 1, could have strong
interaction rates. An explanation for a potentially large monopole
catalysis cross section is the following. The monopole core should be
surrounded by a fermion-antifermion condensate. Some of the condensate will
have baryon number violating terms extending up to the confinement region.
The increase in size of this region gives rise to the essentially geometric
cross-section: σBβ ∼ 10−27 cm2 , where β = v/c. However, there are
theoretical uncertainties in this arena and it is not certain that strong
catalysis is a general feature of all GUT theories. It may be that
catalysis does occur but at considerably lower rates, as is discussed
elsewhere [122, 123]. For example, it has been proposed [123, 124] that the
monopole catalysis cross section could have a 1/β 2 -dependence: σ ∼ (1
GeV)−2/β2 , at least for sufficiently low monopole-proton relative
velocities. It should also be noted that intermediate mass monopoles
arising at later stages of symmetry breaking, such as the doubly charged
monopoles of the SO(10) theory, do not catalyse baryon number violation.

Non-collider searches for stable massive particles

*Abstract*
The theoretical motivation for exotic stable massive particles (SMPs) and
the results of SMP searches at non-collider facilities are reviewed. SMPs
are defined such that they would be sufficiently long-lived so as to still
exist in the cosmos either as Big Bang relics or secondary collision
products, and sufficiently massive such that they are typically beyond the
reach of any conceivable accelerator-based experiment. The discovery of
SMPs would address a number of important questions in modern physics, such
as the origin and composition of dark matter and the unification of the
fundamental forces. This review outlines the scenarios predicting SMPs and
the techniques used at non-collider experiments to look for SMPs in cosmic
rays and bound in matter. The limits so far obtained on the fluxes and
matter densities of SMPs which possess various detection-relevant
properties such as electric and magnetic charge are given.

Holmlid should read this paper. It shows what can produce pions without
using a collider.

It is my contention that Rydberg matter produces these exotic stable
massive particles (SMPs) as an nanometric topological antenna that receives
and stores EMF in the context of a bose condensate.

As you know, quarks are monopoles. Quarks make up protons. When a proton is
exposed to a monopole magnetic field, it will decay.

2015-11-30 Thread Axil Axil
It is uncertain to how large a magnetic effect that SPPs can produce. The
DGT reports from Dr. Kim indicate that the effect can be large,

*Magnetic monopole beam *

One of the amazing revelations that has come out of nanoplasmonic research
and experimentation is the explanation of how the “dark mode” polariton
soliton can produce a monopole magnetic beam. This amazing revelation is
not theory; it is based on experimental results. But there is a theoretical
explanation that goes along with the experimental data (10). The monopole
magnetic beam becomes pronounced at polariton soliton (PS) intermediate
energy levels since the Surface Plasmon Polariton (SPP) aligns all the
spins of the polaritons inside the soliton to project out of the soliton
from its center perpendicular to its direction of wave rotation.

The polariton has a spin of 2. The number of polaritons that can be
absorbed into the soliton is not limited by the Pauli exclusion principle.
There is even an experimental micrograph that shows the soliton and the
monopole beam coming out of it.



This beam can project out to 100 microns away from the soliton.



It is not only the spin of the polaritons that contribute to the power of
the monopole beam but it is also the angular momentum of polariton rotation
that multiplies the magnetic power of the beam. The vortex rotation rate
acts like a train of gears where the microparticle (large gear) drives the
angular momentum of the hydrogen Rydberg matter (small gear).



In the most dramatic case, the 100 micron particle transfers angular
momentum to a hydrogen Rydberg matter particle which is comprised of a
large number of graphite like layered hexagonal disk assemblages with a
diameter just a few atoms across.



Each atomic layer receives angular momentum from the vortex on the surface
of the micro particle and that vortex motion is transferred to the small
atomic hexagonal disks comprising the Rydberg matter. The spin multiplier
that comprises the monopole beam is proportional to the ratio between the
circumference of the 100 micron particle to the circumference of the
hydrogen Rydberg matter hexagonal disk.



The monopole magnetic beam is a primary mechanism of catalytic action in
LENR. The beam can reach out without being depleted and disrupt an
indeterminate number of atomic sites. The experiments of J,C.Fisher can be
explained by the action of this beam.

markfisher.net/johnfisher/papers/Bigshower.pdfEnergetic
 particle
shower in the vapor from electrolysis

This experiment informs us about the nature of the NAE. The experiment
related in this article uses CR-39 particle detectors to show the
production of energetic particles in the mobile NAE afloat in the vapor
above an electrolytic LENR cell. This NAE has become mobile after it has
become detached from its point of creation somewhere on the lattice of the
electrodes within the cell as it moves upward in the vapor produced by the
action of electrolysis and the heat that this electrode produces. This NAE
produces hundreds of thousands of charged particles as it floats upward out
of the cell. This reaction most probably produces alpha particles as the
NAE raises on the vapor currents upward out of the cell. The analysis in
the article finds that this NAE is a point source of these alpha particles
by correlating the angles of the pits produced by the charged particles as
the NAE rises. This behavior implies that the NAE supports a continuous and
long lasting LENR process that proceeds over a considerable duration of
time. This mobile type of NAE must decouple from its point of creation on
the lattice of the electrode and floats on air currents like a particle of
dust. The mesoscopic NAE must be massive in size to be so driven by
molecules of air and water vapor. In this experiment, the monopole beam
projects out of the center of the mobile soliton up to 100 microns as it
floats upward. The mobile SPP soliton can produce LENR reactions at a
distance or it can enter the CR-39 detector strips and initiate LENR
reactions inside the structure of the detectors as John Fisher has reported
in his experiments.

*   This article shows how a strong magnetic field destroys color in matter

Although this paper is about the extreme magnetic fields (10^15 T) of heavy 
ions in a very hot plasma, there could be relevance to what we are talking 
about in much colder conditions … surprisingly… this is because the orbital 
size of dense deuterium is reduced to a few picometers (2.3 pm) according to 
Holmlid. 

We can assume that inverse square applies, no? At the Bohr radius (53 pm), the 
electron of a deuteron supplies a field of 12.5 Tesla. When the orbital is 
reduced by a factor of 24, this would put the effective field very high but 
less … but certainly QCD should be affected. There is even an argument that 
inverse square goes to inverse cube at picometers….

Spin amplification and nucleon disintegrationThe same EM circular polarization 
Jones has described can also interact with orbital spin states of electrons in 
metal lattices and/or mere atoms.  At resonant frequencies, disintegration of 
the lattice can occur and the excess angular momentum must be distributed in 
small quanta of H/2pi.  The same thing may happen when the nuclear spin states 
are excited with distribution of angular momentum to the lattice electrons.  
Resonance may be the ticket to get the desired coupling.

In addition the alignment of reactants in a magnetic field may act to change 
spin energy states to further facilitate coupling between the nucleus and the 
electronic structure. 

The neutrino would be a natural occurrence, given its spin quanta and variable 
energy configurations assuming it has mass.  LENR reactor designs  may be 
nothing  more than providing an engineered system to allow the sharing of small 
spin quanta without the production of neutrinos (or in concert with their 
production) and production of phonons—enhanced orbital spin energy states.  

Jones, I remember the idea of spin disintegration from 50 years back and was 
under the impression it was a real reaction.  I assumed the technology became 
classified, since it disappeared from sight.  

The same thing happened when heavy water was brought to attention of the 
physics community in the mid 60’s.  That technology also disappeared from 
sight.  In hind sight it may have dealt with DDL hydrogen and reflects the 
Mill’s reactor’s technology.   

And I happen to believe that laser-induced fusion developed by a company out of 
Michigan in the mid to late 60’s had its technology classified.  Classification 
is an inventor’s worst nightmare.

Bob,

It would be interesting to get info on that Michigan company.

Side Note: There is a little known “Law of Conservation of Nuclear Number”. 
This law states that the sum of protons and neutrons before and after a 
radioactive decay reaction will be the same. It has been stretched to include 
nuclear fusion and fission. In all of these, there is conversion of matter to 
energy but the matter that is converted is never a full nucleon.

Nucleon disintegration is different. It is neither fusion nor fission nor 
radioactive decay. It is incorrect to label it as anything else. Thus, the Law 
of Conservation of Nuclear Number does not apply to nucleon disintegration, as 
we have known since the 1930s.

Here is the math support for the “Mössbauer Effect”. It shows that a
monopole magnetic field is the most sensitive element to the Mössbauer
effect.

>From the Urutskoiev exploding titanium foil experiment experiment

4) Various difficulties of interpretation gradually led Urutskoiev and his
research team to the conclusion that magnetic poles could be a possible
source of the strange radiation effects they had observed. They became
aware of the present author’s work and a fruitful collaboration has been
initiated.

>From the very beginning, an important experiment was realized by Urutskoiev
and Ivoilov [54], using the fact that 57Fe is at the same time magnetic and
the most sensitive element to the Mössbauer effect. They irradiated, at
some meters from the source of the supposed monopoles, a sample of 57Fe .
Behind the iron sample was one pole of a long linear magnet, in order to
repel the monopoles of the same sign and attract the monopoles of the
opposite sign. Owing to the Mössbauer effect, they found a distinct shift
of a characteristic γ ray.

They repeated the experiment with the other pole of the magnet behind the
iron sample and, with the same exposure they found a γ ray shift in the
opposite direction [54].

One can make two remarks about this experiment :

 a) This is one of the most brilliant proof of monopole magnetism. But
there are others : for instance, the fact that Ivoilov focused a monopole
beam with an electromagnet.

b) If the 57Fe target sample used in the Mössbauer experiment is abandoned
for three days, the preceding characteristic γ ray spectrum goes back to
its mean normal position. This half-life effect seems to hold for all the
effects of magnetism induced by monopoles: they seem to have a limited time
of life (not predicted by theory). But other effects, such isotopic shifts
are definitive.


>From this experimental result, the half life of SPP monopole magnetism is
three days.

The whole aspect of 3 phase car alternator generated voltages generated from 
spin alone is frequently dismissed as an effect of remanent magnetism of the 
rotating field rotor.   The gyroscopic reaction force on the unpaired electron 
spins in the ferromagnetic pole faces in rotation should work to only exert a 
sideways deflection on the uncohered spins moving in the wrong direction with 
respect to the macroscopic rotation of the field rotor steel itself. Take a 
bunch of spinning gyroscopes in all directions, put them on a revolving 
turntable and see how precession makes all these spins seem  more cohered. 
Essentially the magnetic gap assembly of the field rotor is feebly magnetized 
during rotation, meaning a priorvoltage on the rotating electromagnet itself 
is present before any field voltage current is introduced. Incredibly in all 
the google alternator references I have seen no where is the connection between 
the direction of spin of the field rotor and the proper polarity to be applied 
to the field to be in harmony with that spin mentioned. On top of all this 
because the field rotor has an air gap in rotation with respect to the stator 
windings, those windings see a varying inductance on their outputs, making this 
also a form of a parametric oscillator.All of these effects are made from 
rotational magnetism alone where the field of the alternator is not yet 
empowered.https://youtu.be/FAc3jQziiccOne of the classic early videos of the

Re: [Vo]:Spin Coupling

2014-09-07 Thread Bob Cook

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?

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.

Speaking of mysticism, Bob - here is a poser that only a greek-geek

Nickel has 28 written all through it. Is there a deeper, even Platonic,
understanding for why 28 is magical in the nuclear context?

I've pondered this question before to no avail. Back when Grimer was here we
discussed vesica piscis and the square root of 3, and all of that deep
current (literally if you need to convert AC to DC)... anyway...

...just now in thinking about the number 42 in the context of 28, it occurs
that in Euclidean geometry, there are five Platonic solids... and of these,
the only regular polygon which will nest in another of the five types,
having equal faces such that have both axial symmetry and rotational
symmetry and are non-scaled compounds... let me catch my breath... wow...
amazing...these are the octahedron within the icosahedron. Get it? See the
last image here:

https://www.uwgb.edu/dutchs/symmetry/polycpd.htm

The octahedron of course represents 8 units and the icosahedron represents
20. When merged as a nucleus - this is the signature of nickel 28. All in
all, this cross-connection to geometry should mean that remarkable stability
will reside in the basic structure, apart from physics due only to symmetry
- and guess what... the stability of the two polygons is no hat trick:

I am happy to take one for the team in this instance.  These are
interesting slides in which Norman D. Cook [1] gives an overview of the

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.  I'm not sure how Rossi feels himself to be in a

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.

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

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.

it was correct. You can even tell Storms has a begrudging respect for it. I

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

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.

Not really crazy - Rossi/Focardi's old comments relates to positrons as one of

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

 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

 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.

To backtrack from a post 3 months ago. The Rabi frequencies. 

We did not know what to make of it, back then, except that there was a
possible fit to one LENR experiment. The Rabi frequency (paraphrased from
two sources) is the frequency of oscillation for a given atomic transition
in a photonic light field. It is associated with the strength of the
coupling between the photons and the transition - flopping between the
levels of a 2-level system which is illuminated with resonant photons. The
Rabi frequency has an interesting cross connection to Rydberg values, and to
NMR.

In the context of a nuclear magnetic resonance experiment, the Rabi
frequency is the nutation frequency of a sample's net nuclear magnetization
vector about a radiofrequency field. (Note that this is distinct from the
Larmor frequency, which characterizes the precession of a transverse nuclear
magnetization about a static magnetic field.)

OK - There is indeed one RF signal which appears to have a strong
correlation to excess
heating events, in one kind of LENR. This is from the recent paper at ICCF17
by Steven Jones. It is in the range of a Rabi frequency, but it is too early
to say that there is a definitive relationship.

The signal seen in that slide has a frequency of .43 MHz (430 kHz). This
seems to be a real signature - and a strong one. I have looked high and low
to find some broader significance to this particular frequency, but little
turns up. It is longwave once used for Morse code and warning beacons, but
not much used anymore. 

There is some relevance of 430 kHz to a Rabi frequency and to MRI, and a
real connection to nuclear events - but linking all of these seems remote,
given the wavelength - but it is there, and knowing why it is there could be
important. Very strange... not unlike QM itself...

2014-02-09 Thread Bob Cook

Jones--Bob Cook here--

Your message rings true to me.  Here are some additional comments and 
thoughts/conjectures.


I first did NMR experiments in  my senior year, 1961, at Ed's alma mater, 
and we were ever increasing the magnetic field  to get better signals and 
absorption of RF input.  GE has improved since then with practical MRI 
devices.


Pd with a susceptibility of +576 CGS units in the Earth's weak magnetic 
field generates a reasonable B magnetic field in the crystalline matrix.  Ni 
would also, and  it is ferro magnetic to boot.  Heat generation as a 
function of the direction of the external magnetic field, especially for the 
Pd system would be a good experiment to run.   It may cause the reaction to 
slow down and then increase.  The Bockris, etal. experiment, which you 
identified in a previous message,  may have included such redirection of the 
external magnetic field.


Rossi's setup with its nano Ni powder may selectively orient itself in an 
external field and become disoriented  with temperature and lack of magnetic 
field, although, given the ferro magnetic nature of Ni, disorientation may 
not happen too fast.


SRI also probably has good information on this issue in both Ni and Pd 
systems. SRI should be queried.


Another area of investigations by researchers regarding ways of  stimulating 
nuclei was by Pacific Northwest Laboratory in the late 1970's.  Their team 
looked at a number of ways to handle high-level nuclear waste for the DOE or 
ERDA at the time.  The thick report is publically available.  It identified 
electromagnetic stimulation of the nuclei via dipole and   QUADRAPOLE 
moments of radioactive isotopes, as well as neutron irradiation to stimulate 
the nuclei.  The former was thought to be impossible because of electronic 
shielding of the electron cloud around the nuclei and weak signal generation 
capability.  The latter was too expensive.  The idea for both schemes was to 
excite the radioactive nuclei and get them to decay to a stable state.


Since the late 70's the technology for precise control of the energy 
(frequency) by laser input and other schemes has made the electromagnetic 
stimulation of nuclei relatively easy.  The important resonances are not 
those of the electronic cloud of electrons.  That is why MRI's work.


Another item I remember was the work of a nuclear physicist at, I believe, 
the University of Arizona in the early 1980's.  He was Prof. Roy and had 
written a text book on nuclear physics.  He developed a scheme and a patent 
for this scheme to TRANSMUTE radioactive isotopes to non-radioactive 
species.  The invention was written up in the news.  I was never able to 
find the patent.  I concluded it must have become classified--never to be 
heard of again.  Nevertheless I reviewed his text book to see if he said 
anything about nuclear stimulation.  As I recall the textbook had a section 
on nuclear dipole and quadrapole coupling to electromagnetic oscillating 
fields, and I concluded  that this coupling was probably the crux of his 
invention.


I do not recall if there was a section on spin coupling in Roy's textbook.

With that kind of NMR experience, Bob, perhaps you can help me out with
this. We could be on the door steps of locating a missing piece of the
puzzle connecting LENR to NMR. 

The devil is in the details. I've stumbled upon what could be an important
reference to the Stark shift in hydrogen at 429 kHz. That is unlikely to
be a coincidence with the SJ presentation.

The Stark effect is the electric analogue of the Zeeman effect where a
spectral line is split into several components due to the presence of a
magnetic field. It is mentioned in Randell Mills work, and it has Rydberg
values written all over it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stark_effect

Of course, many in LENR look at Mills' work as little more than a
predecessor state or transitory condition which leads to LENR, and one which
is perhaps not even exothermic on its own. It therefore must progress to
something nuclear to achieve thermal gain. That lack of full understanding
is why BLP has been unable to show anything more interesting than
spot-welder firecrackers in 2014.

But this finding of Steven Jones - of an RF signature at ~430 kHz coincident
with a large energy spike in LENR could be a smoking gun which opens up the
entire field to a higher level of understanding.

The obvious next step - when one knows the signature for gain (assuming this
is it) - is to apply input power at that frequency (or maybe a quarter wl)
and look for positive feedback.

After all the surname of NMR is resonance. Heck, we could be looking an
inverse Mossbauer effect in 61 Ni.

This line of inquiry might lead to something important.  The large field that 
DGT reported was varying with time if I recall correctly and that behavior can 
definitely by described as a spectrum of signals.  The low frequency RF that 
you are considering can penetrate into the nickel surface a moderate distance.  
The electrons on and just blow the surface will likely be driven in large 
numbers as they attempt to counter the incoming field and this joint movement 
may be important as well.

I have been considering a low frequency magnetic field, perhaps even DC, since 
one of that nature can penetrate entirely through the nickel particles.  What 
if the DC like component of the field establishes a resonant condition for one 
or both types of nuclei at a second frequency.   Now, coupling between nearby 
NAE exits at a relatively low frequency especially if the Q of these 
resonances is high.  At this point it is not clear how the fusion event is 
initiated, but there appears to be a path for energy to exit the active spots 
via the magnetic coupling.  And, if we are so fortunate, the energy leaving the 
reaction point will reinforce the original field in a positive feedback manner 
with a gain greater than unity.   Under this condition, the magnetic field and 
the LENR energy both will grow together and some of the coordinated field will 
penetrate the case and be measured by DGT and others.

How would we determine that a low frequency resonance actually exists in this 
case?  Is the data presented by Dr. Jones adequate to suggest this is true?   
Is there reason to think that NMR can occur at low frequencies when a very 
large magnetic field is applied to either or both nickel and hydrogen?  We 
probably should also consider the behavior of the ash components as we search 
for the underlying effects.

The Stark effect is the electric analogue of the Zeeman effect where a
spectral line is split into several components due to the presence of a
magnetic field. It is mentioned in Randell Mills work, and it has Rydberg
values written all over it.

Of course, many in LENR look at Mills' work as little more than a
predecessor state or transitory condition which leads to LENR, and one which
is perhaps not even exothermic on its own. It therefore must progress to
something nuclear to achieve thermal gain. That lack of full understanding
is why BLP has been unable to show anything more interesting than

But this finding of Steven Jones - of an RF signature at ~430 kHz coincident

The obvious next step - when one knows the signature for gain (assuming this

Bob,

No the bath is not a condensate.  It can be disordered - quoting the paper:

 With help of the spin-echo phenomenon it is possible to extract work
  from a disordered ensemble of spins having random frequencies. This
  ensemble can even be strongly disordered in the sense that the
  relaxation time T2* induced by the disorder is much smaller than both
  the T2-time and the response time of the bath.

If I can find some additional references on this, I will post them.
Very surprising results.

 OK backtracking to Steven Jones, and his slide showing an RF signal -
 we

demonstrate a peak around the resonant region.  I am assuming that the box

Heating of the hydrogen envelope of the NiH reactor is do to the
absorption of the  XUV (soft X rays and extreme ultraviolet) radiation is
mostly driven by photoionization and the generation of photoelectrons.
Photoelectrons excite, ionize, and dissociate atoms and molecules until
they lose enough energy and become thermalized i.e., share their energy
with thermal electrons in Coulomb collisions. Thermal electrons share their
energy with ions and eventually, the reactor structure. Such volume heating
rate is usually fitted by the external parameter - photoheating efficiency
which determines the temperature profiles in the hydrogen gas. This value
is a ratio of absorbed energy accumulated as a hydrogen heat to the
deposited energy of the  XUV radiation.

moments of the nuclei in the system and any known magnetic or electric 
resonances would be prime input frequencies to check for effects on energy 
output as was seen in the Jones experiment.  (Rossi must have good data in 
this regard for the Ni system.)


The Mossbauer effect may relate to coupling of lattice vibrations and

My current clue to the detail underpinning  of LENR and its relationship to
spin is the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect.

In a nutshell, a magnetic field can shield the coulomb barrier. How the
magnetic field does it is by creating vortex quasi particles that chase
the fermion around (aka compound fermion). The more of these quasi
particles that are generated, the more screening that is produced.

The magnetic field couples to the Higgs field (aka the vacuum) with the aid
of the fermion as it minimizes its coulomb repulsion and in so doing
produces spin and charge quasi particles.

2014-02-08 Thread Bob Cook
Foks0904, Brian and Jones--Bob Cook here--

Thanks for the reference to spin coupling.

 If electrons love to pair up in atoms because of spin coupling, why not 
protons in a metal lattice quantum system?  Kim seems to think that D's with 
integral spin can get together at significant temperatures in a BEC and act 
like one entity.  Maybe 2 paired protons act like a Bose particle with parallel 
and anti-parallel spins in a Pd or Ni lattice.  A magnetic field would help the 
protons to align themselves to pair up, particular at higher temperatures.  

Excited D particles, above their ground spin state of 0, in a magnetic field 
may pair up to regain a 0 spin combination; they would need  to react with a 
pair of electrons at the same time to form highly stable He-4 with 0 spin at 
the end of the reaction.  Energy of course would be fractioned to other nuclei 
and electrons in small spin quanta and hence to the lattice as thermal heat 
during this reaction.  It would all depend on a coherent quantum system and 
coupling between the various particles.  Such a reaction may be what Bockris 
and Sundaresan encountered and were able to control  with the external magnetic 
field.   800 gauss applied field  would produce a tremendous B magnetic field 
in the Pd electrode with corresponding higher spin energy quantum states for 
excited particles.  Nuclear based gamma lasers studied extensively in the 
1970's and 80'  make use of excited nuclear spin/energy states which are 
induced to decay in a coherent manner. I note this in way of pointing that  
exciting nuclei with tuned radiation or other means (not generally neutrons to  
my knowledge)  is not unheard of.

I make the above conjectures for protons and D particles to make a point that 
spin coupling may be important in both Pd and Ni lattices with the hope of 
making LENR theory simple--connecting the various dots in the multitude of 
experiments.   

I will check out Bockris and Sundaresan ASAP.   They may have checked the Pd 
for He-4 or other potential reaction products. 

George Miley should have a good handle on this issue, since he has worked with 
the Pd system extensively.   He's another researcher to check out.   SPAWAR 
seems to have blacked out so I would not look to them for additional 
information on the Pd system and spin coupling.  SRI, well maybe.

Thanks to all that contribute ideas to this conversation,

Bob

  What accounts for the Heat/Helium correlation in this reaction mechanism? Is 
it discounted?

For the various Spin Doctors on Vortex -

Here is a magnon-ymous tribute to John Bockris, who passed away last summer.
Bockris authored over 700 papers and 24 books. This blip is courtesy of
Brian Ahern who has been developing a nanomagnetism hypothesis for
non-nuclear gain in LENR which involves magnons,  spin coupling and Curie
point recycling.
It does not necessarily replace fusion, but may be another (one of many)
sources of thermal gain. In fact there is the possibility that given the
strangeness of QM - the way that one gets to a reactionless version of
helium fusion is to already have given up the 24 MeV with spin coupling !!!

This finding below should be a strong indication that even Pd-D has a robust
spin coupling mechanism, which is unrelated to fusion - but which is
definitely thermally gainful and could precede fusion.

I mean to say probably unrelated to fusion since in the following - there
was NO ENERGY applied, simply a magnetic field. Most proponents of Pd-D
realize that helium cannot arise without some energy input, but the point is
that even here, there could be another distinct route to thermal gain.

From Bockris and Sundaresan 1994

2.3. Magnetic Stimulation

After the cathode had been charged with deuterium for 48 hours at a current
of 80 mA, the cell was placed in the field of a permanent magnet of 200
Gauss strength. The cell electrolyte temperature rose to 5 ° C (Fig.10.)
after 230 seconds, After 576 seconds, the magnet was replaced by two, one
inch Neodymium magnets with a 800 Gauss field placed as described earlier.
The temperature immediately started increasing and reached 13.5 ° C in about
15 minutes and remained constant. The temperature returned to 3.5 ° C when
the magnet was removed.




Re: [Vo]:Spin phonons - transversal heat conduction

2012-10-05 Thread David Roberson
The way I understand it is that heat flows in the direction opposite to the 
temperature gradient within a material.  I think of it as heat flowing in all 
directions, with more flowing from the higher temperature locations.  The net 
is that the flow tends to equalize the temperature.

Hi


Heat can flow even transversal to the kinetic motion of heat, right?

Re: [Vo]:Spin phonons - transversal heat conduction

2012-10-05 Thread Nigel Dyer
The question makes sense, but I am intrigued by the inclusion of the 
word spin in the title.  Most heat conduction calculations do not 
include the effect of spin, but there is work that does, and the quanta 
of interest is then a magnon, and it all appears to get very complicated.

yes ... thousands to get to bomb-grade, fewer for reactor-grade.

There is a formula from which one can derive the necessary number 
of stages, but I have misplaced it. The 
interesting/unaccounted-for thing is that when any stage can 
exploit two physical properties instead of just specific gravity - 
say: specific gravity and positive charge affinity, or magnetic 
moment, for instance then it seems possible to get to higher 
enrichment in fewer stages then expected from the properties being 
additive. But I do not have an authoritative reference for that 
contention. Obviously, if it turned out the NMR was one of those 
enhancements then ... well let's don't go there.
