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

Hi Bob, The possibility you've been drawing attention to, that the result of the decay of the [8Be]* compound nucleus into two 4He nuclei with little linear momentum and a great deal of angular momentum makes for an interesting thought experiment. Out of curiosity, I calculated the energy that

See http://large.stanford.edu/courses/2010/ph240/eason2/, which provides a back-of-the-envelope calculation of how much lithium will be needed for current applications: If all other lithium industries [other than lithium-ion electric vehicles] suddenly evaporated, we could imagine using the

Re: [Vo]:Hypothesis to explain Lugano, MFMP 'Bang!' and Parkhomov observations (MFMP)

Hi, Just arrived from Bob Greenyer (MFMP): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ntgj0_CUo2U9Ic0lgoHEFgezpXZq6vIcbkD1LP2zLuk/ As Bob Cook notes, any β+ decay will result in annihilation photons: β+ + β- → 2ɣ + Q (511 keV) Once the positron is produced, it will quickly find an electron

Re: [Vo]:Nitinol heat engine

Although there's no doubt some compression of any loaded deuterium in the nitinol system, I suspect that mechanical deformation of the nitinol by way of electrical impulse will not be sufficient to bring deuterons close to one another or to lattice sites by many orders of magnitude. (One of the
