[Vo]:1200C Ni+LiAlH4 Experiment by Brian Albiston

MFMP posted this to their Facebook account: Brian Albiston has seemingly interesting results on re-started reactor taken past 1200ºC http://www.hydrogenfusion.blogspot.cz We commend Brian for being open and detailed in his blog. He has already put his name down for

From: Bob Higgins Ø To have measured the gas left in the reactor at the end, the whole reactor would have to be placed in a large ulta-high vacuum system with mechanical feedthru attachments designed to break the seal on the reactor while inside the UHV. No way. Hot tapping machines a

Piantelli said that he has seen ~500 keV gammas (didn't say how many and if always present) and he tested for beta+/beta- annihilation and did not find the dual photon signature for that. I was asking if he had seen a DDL signature for compaction of the H- anion. The Bremsstrahlung from heavy par

Hi Bob, I have a different interpretation of what happens. Maybe this will be useful for you: The idea is simple. What is the easiest way to make small clusters of atoms? Use the analogy with water vapor. Heat, say, Ni or Pd. Very small clusters have its shape determined by the boundary, just like

Re: [Vo]:mainstream physics paper bout the Hot Cat, co-author Andrea Rossi

Bob-- Does Piantelli say there are energetic EM photons seen in the reaction? 6 Mev protons would probably produce observable EM radiation, unless they were all consumed in the subsequent LENR reaction. That seems unlikely to me. Bob Cook - Original Message - From: Bob Higgins

In follow-up hypothetical analysis of the Lugano measurements, consider this. Look at what it means for the ICP-MS assay of the fuel to have 94.1% 7Li and 5.9% 6Li. With 100mg of LiAlH4 fuel source, the fuel source had 17.2mg of 7Li and 1.08mg of 6Li. If one *presumes* that 6Li is not being crea

Re: [Vo]:mainstream physics paper bout the Hot Cat, co-author Andrea Rossi

Piantelli's theory says that H- anions are responsible for the Ni-H LENR reaction. According to his theory, the H- anion, as a composite fermion, enters the Ni atom much as would a muon. Somehow (and Piantelli doesn't say how) the large H- anion must become a compact negatively charged object (li

From: torulf.gr...@bredband.net May be of interest. https://fys.kuleuven.be/iks/ns/files/thesis/raabephdthesis.pdf - This is a provocative paper on the He-6 halo nucleus. The spin energy of the halo is found in the 500 keV range. Maybe that is why

Re: [Vo]:mainstream physics paper bout the Hot Cat, co-author Andrea Rossi

It would not be fair to criticize the Lugano team for not measuring the gas in their experiment. Rossi lent them a reactor that was not designed for sampling the product gas. After the experiment, the seal had to be "broken open" (there are various descriptions of how this happened). To have mea

Re: [Vo]:mainstream physics paper bout the Hot Cat, co-author Andrea Rossi

Robin-- Another issue to consider is the effect of the over-lying magnetic field on the differential energy of the respective spin states and their angular momentum. A magnetic field will separate the energies of the respective spin states of the He* IMO. Any photon of energy would have to h

Re: [Vo]:mainstream physics paper bout the Hot Cat, co-author Andrea Rossi

Robin-- I doubt your assumption about the size of the excited He* entity is correct. It would have a distorted shape with the high angular momentum. It's outer reach may extend far into the surrounding electron cloud and only return to the lesser size of a photon upon loss of its spin energy

Re: [Vo]:mainstream physics paper bout the Hot Cat, co-author Andrea Rossi

Robin-- I agree with your observation. As far as I know there are no cross sections established for slow protons. I think there may be some resonance cross sections for dipole and quadrupole electric and magnetic stimulation however. They may even be published. It takes a fine tuned pho
