One interesting detail, in retrospect, about Yoshino/Mizuno's MIT
presentation and the switch to nickel (from palladium) while keeping
deuterium as the active gas may have been overlooked to date. Apologies- if
this slant on the underlying reaction has appeared before.

It is the copper connection. As we know, Focardi and Rossi believed that the
E-Cat is/was transmuting nickel into copper by fusing with a proton. When
one mentions a copper connection, seldom does Mizuno's amazing new work come
to mind. However, all reactions of nickel with a proton result in a
radioactive isotope with a half-life which is long enough for it to have
been seen. This kind of hot isotope is not reported in any study of the
Rossi reactor - but his proponents are hoping that the TIP2 report will find
evidence of copper transmutation.

The same kind of signature radioactivity is not true with deuterium as the
active gas. In fact, the solution is so stunning - that we have to wonder if
Rossi may be using deuterium as his secret ingredient. Terry will remember
that in the very first image to come from Rossi, there was a color-coded
tank of deuterium in the Lab. Apparently it was not intended to be noticed.
When questioned about this later, Rossi glibly said the purpose of D was to
stop the reaction if it got out of hand ! 

With this new information... well... you can be the judge of whether Rossi's
excuse was ever true. Notably deuterium in never seen again... 

Nickel 58 is the most abundant isotope of element 28, and as recently
mentioned is out-of-place in the periodic table, being lighter than any
stable cobalt isotope, the element to the left. By itself, that factoid
would be unique in that it only happens in one other place in the entire
periodic table, where elements routinely increase in average amu, in step
with z But wait there's more than relative lightness (putative
receptivity to nucleon addition).

Look at Copper-60 , the expected product of a deuteron fusing to Ni-58. Cu60
has a short half-life and decays back to Ni60 in minutes. It could escape
detection in any reactor - so long as a reactor was not opened for a few
hours, since all one would see is a nickel isotope which is expected to be
there. The beta decay is fairly strong however.

The biggest problem with this scenario could be conservation of spin. Ni58
is 0 spin, Cu60 is +2, and D is +1. A beta decay ostensibly does not solve
that problem. But the chance of this being the gainful reaction in
conjunction with nuclear spin-coupling as a predecessor is otherwise worth
looking at ways to get around conservation of spin.

This elegant possibility of a gainful reaction in which stable nickel
converts to stable nickel, giving up energy, is why my prediction for the
Mizuno presentation in November is to suggest that they will see a relative
decrease in Ni58 and a relative increase in Ni60.

The more intriguing idea is that Rossi has been using deuterium all along in
his E-Cat, but the only time the secret almost got out was in the original
demo !

RE: [Vo]:Mizuno, Rossi copper transmutation

One more thing to add ... wrt the overdue suggestion (Doh, slaps forehead)
that Rossi's secret sauce is looking like it is deuterium. Thank you,
Clean Planet.

The reaction would probably work best if it is started with regular
hydrogen, and then deuterium is added later. This is because the exchange
reaction between hydrogen and deuterium itself is so robust. In fact, many
of the early critics of LENR thought that the entire phenomenon could be
related to deuterium exchange. It is that energetic.

As we know, Rossi has this mysterious system - which he calls cat-and-mouse.
He has been intentionally vague on how it functions. Yet in reappraisal,
this system is fully consistent with having two chambers, the main one
containing hydrogen and the nickel reactant - and the smaller one deuterium
(or a mix of H and D). The metering response can be simply by voltage to a
window, since deuterium will diffuse through many proton conductors in
direct proportion to negative charge. Positive charge stops the diffusion,
which is easily controllable by a sensor.

The purpose of the small chamber (mouse) is to meter D into the main chamber
at a controlled rate, to avoid a runaway. If Rossi can be believed, he
suffered several runaways with the HotCat which we can imagine did not have
this kind of metering device.

This seems to fit into everything we know, so long as one ignores Rossi's
own denial of using deuterium. But deuterium is the one thing which, if true
- he would never admit to. That is, if Ni-D is indeed the essence of E-Cat,
in the same way that the change from palladium to nickel could be the
essence of the Mizuno reactor.

Things just keep getting curiouser and curiouser...

I don't think anyone here has been advocating for proton capture for a
while.  Robin might still like the idea in connection with shrunken
hydrogen, for in that case the ejected electron can fill in for the gamma
and carry the momentum.  I've personally run with the idea of proton
capture in the past, but have stepped away from it.  Perhaps you're
referring to proponents in other forums?

The nickel to nickel idea seems very promising.  I doubt there is deuteron
capture, because if there is deuteron capture, there is probably proton
capture as well, along with all of the nasty gammas.  This is what is
leading me to deuterium stripping -- e.g., 60Ni(d,p)61Ni.  Here the neutron
is stripped off of the deuteron and added to the nickel, and the proton
flies in the other direction, rather than there being a full capture.

As an alternative prediction, if there is deuteron stripping rather than
deuteron capture and then decay, one will see this:

58Ni + d → 59Ni + p
59Ni → 59Co + β+ ( 1 percent of the time)
β+ + β- → 2ɣ Q (511 keV each)


So there would be an excess of 59Co together with annihilation photons.
The annihilation photons would be difficult to fully shield, although their
rate is due to the half-life of the 59Ni decay and only indirectly tracks
the rate of the reaction itself.  Because the β+ decay rate is much smaller
than any inferred reaction rate, the annihilation photons will only
intermittently escape through the metal casing and make it into the
detector, which has a relatively small aperture (compared to a full solid
angle) and is less than 100 percent efficient (e.g., 26 percent
efficient).  With these things in mind, you wouldn't necessarily see
annihilation photons above background.  But the 59Co should increase
significantly above its normal amount.

The β+ decay occurs in only a very small number of cases.  Most of the time
(99 percent) the decay is via electron capture, a point I have missed up to
now.  So that will attenuate the expected number of annihilation photons in
my models by two orders of magnitude.  The decay, of course, is still to
59Co.

Deuteron capture seems to be far and away the more likely scenario – at least 
more than proton capture for three reasons.

 

First the deuteron is a boson, as is the nickel nucleus. This is not invoking a 
condensate state or even a pseudo BEC, it relates to simple QM probability/ 
nuclear tunneling probability. 

 

Note that stripping is closer to brute force thermodynamics, and unlikely to 
happen in condensed matter.

 

Secondly, and most importantly - the neutron of the deuteron offers Coulomb 
shielding. 

 

This is related to isospin… I will allow Axil to elaborate on isospin since he 
first introduced it into the mix.

 

Thirdly –  the theory must reflect actual results. The main point of the 
previous post was to show that in the nuclear physics of Ni - Cu, there is 
apparently only one possibility which fits into the observation of 

1)no radioactive debris and 

2)no obvious transmutation product.

3)no gamma

You've certainly been consistent Jones. Quoting you from 2011:

[Vo]:Deuterium kills the reaction?

Jones Beene jone...@pacbell.net via eskimo.com

1/19/11
to vortex-l

One detail worth exploring further was the statement from Rossi that
only hydrogen works, and that deuterium kills the reaction !

That is counter-intuitive to say the least. Everyone in hot fusion
knows for an absolute fact that deuterium is the more activenucleus,
right? And everyone in LENR knows that deuterium and palladium work,
whereas H2 is often used as the ‘control’ to show what doesn’t work.
Go figure.

Well, pondering this for a moment, the only possible property that
comes to mind to explain it was posted a few days ago –the “composite
boson” in the context of negative temperature. It is sounding better
and better as a rationale.

To rephrase, the complex argument goes like this. The heat anomaly,
whether it is fusion or not depends on “pycno” or dense hydrogen
clusters. Based on Lawandy’s paper and others, we see that spillover
catalysts operate by splitting molecular hydrogen into atomic hydrogen
without ionization. Dense hydrogen forms from atomic hydrogen if there
are adjoiningdielectric surfaces or cavities. Atomic hydrogen is a
composite boson. If there are internal defects (cavities) for atoms to
accumulate, they somehow seem to densify there without ever going
molecular.

We know that H is a composite boson which is a singularity in nature –
as it is composed of the minimum number of fermions (2) that permit
both states to oscillate back and forth… and furthermore having this
minimum number of quantum states to“align” (statistically) means that
it is exponentially easier to condense than deuterium at so-called
negative temperature (which are not “cold”) especially since spin can
be aligned magnetically...

Thanks to google books, we have access to an old issue of New
Scientist from 1981. On p. 205-6 there is clear indication that we
have known for nearly 30 years that hydrogen condensation can happen
at cryogenic temperatures – i.e. that monatomic hydrogen is a
composite boson independent of the molecular state - which has very
unusual properties as a condensate.

http://books.google.com/books?id=IbbMj56ht8sCpg=PA205lpg=PA205dq=composite-boson+monatomic-hydrogensource=blots=XlZyp6rE-9sig=AwMnZv-hCQzTfcbnkN2mQZ65VG0hl=enei=JFwaTab7Oon0tgPSpKjJCgsa=Xoi=book_resultct=resultresnum=1sqi=2ved=0CBwQ6AEwAA#v=onepageqf=false

This paper seems to have been largely forgotten, and offers no
indication that “negative temperature” could provide an alternative to
cryogenic temperature. And certainly no indication that the Casimir
cavity can provide a locus for negative temperature.

No one should be blamed at this juncture for being completely
skeptical that negative temperature in a cavity can do this, even on a
temporary time frame; and the only evidence of it today is the
implication from half a dozen papers which indicate that so-called
pycno-hydrogen exists (under many different names, even IRH or Inverse
Rydberg Hydrogen). Rossi’s results are consistent with this modality,
and Holmlid and Miley claim to have evidence of tiny bits of hydrogen
a million times denser than liquid H2.

Are they nuts too? Or is it all fitting together like a jigsaw puzzle?

Re: [Vo]:Mizuno, Rossi copper transmutation

Single proton capture will not work because the spin of a single proton is
non zero. Double proton capture will work because the spin of 2He is zero.

Piantelli shows a 6 MeV proton coming out of a nickel bar. This implies
that a proton pair entered the nickel nucleus: one to produce the 6 MeV via
fusion of nickel into copper and one proton to exit the nucleus to remove
that energy from the nucleus.

Also, the large amount of iron reported in Rossi’s ash assay, requires a
reaction involving two protons. The abundance of light elements in the DGT
ash assay requires fusion of multiple proton pairs with nickel.

It is a safe assumption that pairing of protons is occurring.

This spin alignment of deuterium is why a plasma of hydrogen must be formed
to produce hydrogen crystals where deuterium must be reconfigured to a zero
spin alignment as the plasma cools.

Adding deuterium gas from a tank as Rossi has done will provide non zero
spin deuterium. It order for the deuterium to stay non zero spin, Rossi
must disable the plasma forming electrical circuit before the Deuterium gas
from the tank is added.

Re: [Vo]:Mizuno, Rossi copper transmutation

One reason the Rossi requires high heat from external electric power input
is to produce molecules with zero spin. He now uses the Mouse to make
these special molecules.

The down side of high heat that can form a plasma is that such application
of heat can cause reactor-away. The Mouse was configured to produce zero
spin hydrogen but because it has a pronounced sub-critical nature, it will
not melt down no matter how much external heat is applied. The purpose of
the Mouse is to produce Rydberg hydrogen matter with zero spin through a
cooling plasma process. These solid crystals of hydrogen will then be feed
from the Mouse to the Cat where the main near critical high COP reaction
takes place using zero spin hydrogen.

The nickel to nickel idea seems very promising.  I doubt there is deuteron
capture, because if there is deuteron capture, there is probably proton
capture as well, along with all of the nasty gammas.  This is what is
leading me to deuterium stripping -- e.g., 60Ni(d,p)61Ni.  Here the neutron
is stripped off of the deuteron and added to the nickel, and the proton
flies in the other direction, rather than there being a full capture.

Actually, I rather like this idea. It's much easier for a neutron to tunnel than
for a proton, because the neutron has no Coulomb barrier opposing it. (Both the
neutron and the proton however need to find 2.2 MeV to escape the deuterium
nucleus, so parting is equally difficult for each.)

Note also that a severely shrunken Deuterino will have a much higher chance of
participating in such a reaction because it can get close to a target nucleus.

you can get along just fine without a car for much of the time.  In many

Its basically just hydrinos form, look like slow neutrons and make it past
the coulombic barrier -- not specifying the Rydberg state required to look
like a neutron nor how it is catalyzed in a solid -- merely that it _is_ in
a solid that it is catalyzed, hence explains Mills's missing the

Dymamical Casimir emission from polariton condensates

The nature of the vacuum is drastically changed in the presence of a
polariton condensate leading to increased dynamical Casimir emission

One of the tenets of my theory that produces accelerated nuclear decay
rates postulates that the rate of virtual particle production is greatly
enhanced in the polariton excited vacuum

*We study theoretically the dynamical Casimir effect in an
exciton-polariton condensate that is suddenly created by an ultrashort
laser pulse at normal incidence. As a consequence of the abrupt change of
the quantum vacuum, Bogoliubov excitations are generated. The subsequent
evolution, governed by polariton interactions and losses, is studied within
a linearized truncated Wigner approximation. We focus in particular on the
momentum distribution and spatial coherence.*

*The limiting behavior at large and small momenta is determined
analytically. *

*A simple scaling relation for the final condensate depletion as a function
of the system parameters is found and the correlation length is shown to
depend linearly on the condensate depletion. *

Bogoliubov excitations are broken positron/electron virtual pairs that are
the basis of Hawking radiation

Re: [Vo]:He4 Energy Totals Damning of Mills?

Russ George of Planktos fame has blogged his ideas about hydrino-based cold
fusion in an entry titled HYDRINO DARK FUSION ?
http://atom-ecology.russgeorge.net/2014/07/14/hydrino-fusion/

An excerpt:

I chatted with Randy years ago at a physics conference and we exchanged
some ideas on how the hydrino state of deuterium might facilitate a sort of
hydrino moderated dark fusion of two deuteriums, perhaps via something akin
to a screening mechanism and just maybe there-in is a connecting thread
between our work. But how one gets two protons to fuse even in the strange
states characteristic of cold fusion is a stretch for me, that qualify as
dark fusion for sure.

The central question between cold fusion and hydrinos becoming dark matter
is the resulting energy. Hydrino production is an order of magnitude or
more energetic than burning hydrogen while DD fusion yielding 4He, hot or
cold, is about ten million times more energetic that burning hydrogen (or
deuterium). So if one needs a source of energy sufficient to produce a bit
of star-like plasma you need around a million times the number of hydrino
events as DD cold fusion events to do so. At least we are not
astronomically far apart.

I tend to think that the 1 atom of D for every 5000+ atoms of H that are
found in common hydrogen is the real active constituent of “light” hydrogen
NiH fusion or LENR (Low Energy Nuclear Reactions) for those who are afraid
of the ghost of Martin Fleischman or are merely his ‘cold fusion’ usurpers.
It’s easier to imagine hydrinos than proton proton fusion.

Who knows what will happen. $2K cars? Tiny small single-seater vehicles for 
commuters to drive to work or to the grocery store. Self driving cars? Yea, 
very likely too. Transportation will evolve. Collectively, we will determine 
the best course of action. Very few individuals on their own have the capacity 
to predict what will eventually happen. The unpredictable collective principals 
of emergence will drive this one, not any single individual. 

 

Perhaps a little bit of synchronicity will play mysteriously into the mixture 
as well. For example...

 

Years ago I was visiting Portland. While there I went into Powells Bookstore. I 
was wandering aimlessly down a dark isle my hand reached out for a book. I'm 
not sure what it was about this book that initially caught my eye. However, 
when I picked it out I noticed the author had spent some time studying the 
social behavior of ants. He spent some time studying these creature because he 
was researching the rules of emergence and how those rules play out within 
complex societies. The mysterious rules of emergence work with all kinds of 
living creature from all scales, from brain cells, insects, all the way up to 
humans crammed within a city environment. The subject of ants combined with the 
concept of emergence piqued my interest. I recalled as a young teenager I had 
studied the hive minded behavior of social insects - like ants. I managed 
several ant farms which included the queen. Sometimes I spent hours watching 
the collective behavior of these creatures with a powerful magnifying glass. 

 

Returning back to the present I was curious as to who the author was. Was it 
anyone I knew?

 

Here is the author talking about his book on emergence at a TED talk:

Other than the fact that I could not rid myself of a feeling that the equally 
mysterious rules of synchronicity had perhaps played an amusing game with my 
psyche, the author bares no relation with me whatsoever. Granted, I realize I'm 
anthropomorphizing the behavior of the Universe. But what the hell. The 
universe plays tricks with me all the time.

 

Regards,

Steven Vincent Johnson
