Conference needs a communication path between oscillators. In this metronome example, the communication path is the table that the oscillators set on. Energy is carried by vibrations through the table. At the atomic level, the communication method is through photon energy transfer. On Tue, Mar

It is possible that the LENR reaction was not carried inside the tube in the fuel, but in the alumina cement that covered the heater wire. The cement must have some residual water in it. Therefore, a sonoelectrochemistry based mechanism might be producing nanoparticles in this cement and these

Taking another look, I'm not certain melting didn't happen in the tube. There is a color difference along the inner edge. The metal coating may obscure the alumina making it difficult to determine melting without a microscope.

Very sharp -just means that the power is applied nearly instantaneously. Not any more power, just whatever equals E2 /R. However the temperature gradient would indeed be higher, so the wire would expand sooner than the matrix around. If the matrix temperature rises and falls a lot during a

According to Jack, the reaction did not happen in the fuel, but in the insolating layer. The fuel composition does not matter. IMHP, what matters is the exact nature of the heater current. On Tue, Mar 17, 2015 at 4:38 PM, Robert Ellefson vortex-h...@e2ke.com wrote: Jack, Fantastic! I’m

In these triac light dimmers, the rise/fall times are very sharp maybe in the nanoseconds. That means that a lot of instantaneous power is being feed into the heater wire as the power pulse starts when the leading edge waveform is used. On Tue, Mar 17, 2015 at 4:56 PM, Axil Axil

There doesn't appear to have been any melting inside the tube. It's interesting that the fuel formed a small diameter cylinder. There was also a small amount of fine powder left in the cell. The fuel is shown in the picture (looks like a little stick).

The hydrogen combustion theory does not explain why the heat is restricted primarily to the outside of the tube. The adulterated tube material would have a lower melting temperature than the pure alumina powder covering. Hydrogen that is coming from inside the tube would melt the tube as well as

Steady accumulation of energy followed by its rapid release can result in the delivery of a larger amount of instantaneous power over a shorter period of time (although the total energy is the same). Energy is typically stored within a circuit of the device. What happens is based on the circuit of

Dear Jack, Congratulations. Anyone that has seen a meltdown, knows that LENR is real. Your use of a pulses current may be what caused the LENR reaction to fire up. Current pulses might be what the key is. The triac may be producing a periodic sharp current rise and an associated magnetic field
