Chris- I have understood that phonons are “virtual” particles that represent a localized energy in a crystal lattice made up of kinetic energy and potential energy in a resonant stable dynamic state. It is primarily thought to be an electric field that couples the nuclei and electrons in the lattice—primarily the valence electrons. The nuclei oscillate around some mid position in the lattice and valence electrons change their orbital spin states reflecting the motion of the nuclei.
Temperature of the crystal lattice is a measure of the amplitude of the nuclei special displacement around their mid position in the lattice. If the crystal constitutes a coherent QM system, then all nuclei vibrate with the same amplitude and the crystal is at a single temperature. If the amplitude (temperature) get to high, the crystal electronic bonds fail and the order of the crystalline coherent system is lost. Magnetic fields change the nature of the potential/kinetic energy sharing. A preferred direction in the crystal is created relative to the magnetic B field that exists within the crystalline coherent system. The orbital spin energy states of the valence electrons are modified. Large B fields can cause large changes in these orbital spin states. If there are resonances between a nuclear orbital spin state of the coherent system and an electronic orbital spin state, it would seem possible that spin energy may be swapped, changing nuclear potential energy into PHONIC energy of the crystalline coherent system. A variable B field induced by a variable ambient H magnetic field will create a universe of differing spin energy states each with a small difference in it angular momentum. If total angular momentum can be conserved, IMHO A TRANSITION WILL OCCUR. It may be also possible that the transition is reversible. In such case a reduction of the temperature—lower electron orbital energy—would be the result. (Such a reversal suggests a new concept of temperature, one which shares potential and kinetic energy between nuclear entities and electrons. ) Bob Cook Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Chris Zell Sent: Monday, February 20, 2017 9:35 AM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: RE: [Vo]:Regarding what BOB COOK THINKS ABOUT THE NAE I do recall Wingate Lambertson - a scientist/expert on cermet products. Odd semi-ceramic things he called “E-dams” that generated excess energy. I recall that he passed away before it could be fully developed. It all sounded like phonon derived energy.

If we are identifying them as the likely source of excess energy within a barium/strontium ferrite structure, I would think that someone somewhere has thought about cohering them into useful energy. But if you google "Microelectromechanical systems" you will get 750,000 hits.
