So Sergio Focardi , Guiseppe Levi, Sven Kullander, Hanno Essen, Roland
Pettersson
Alexander Parkhomov, Fulvio Fabiani, all of whom claim to have witnessed the
E-Cat working, are gullible idiots but you know better?

I have been a dedicated foe of the Rossi Planet since February 2009. I
interacted with his cohorts in New Hampshire. Even they had no idea what he was
doing, because the first 11 'independent tests
\' all broke down and were indeterminate.
Eight years later nothing has changed. He has duped a cadre of gullable and
hopeful folks from the LENR community. With any luck he will be incarcerated
for fraud and tax evasion.

Brian Ahern,
The proof that Rossi's E-cats don't work is less than that they do.
It serves no useful purpose to continually repeat your insults with no actual
content.
I wonder what you will say if Rossi comes up with a decent demo this Summer.

One consideration that I feel is important to understand is what PT symmetry
violation means with respect to CP symmetry violation. We understand that we
can produce PT symmetry breaking using optical mechanisms but can PT symmetry
violation somehow generate CP violation which is required to produce the decay
of the nucleon (protons and neutrons)?
>From the various descriptions of symmetry in this article:
https://www.europhysicsnews.org/articles/epn/pdf/2016/02/epn2016472p17.pdf
Space time (PT) Symmetry is only valid in an open system where energy and/or
matter can be gained or lost. In a closed system, PT symmetry does not exist
since a closed system can neither gain nor lose energy and/or matter. Because
LENR requires CP symmetry breaking and CP symmetry breaking requires PT
symmetry breaking, LENR can only occur in an open system.
Open vs. Closed Systems
Systems can be either open or closed. A closed system is one where a quantity
or series of quantities cannot enter or leave the system. For example, a system
might be closed to energy, meaning energy might not be able to enter or leave
the system. A vacuum thermos flask does a really good job of stopping energy
from leaving the system to keep your drink warm. So it might make sense to
treat it as a closed system - but no system in the real world is ever perfectly
closed, so it will only be an approximation.
The opposite of a closed system is an open system. An open system is one where
a quantity or series of quantities can enter or leave the system to a
significant degree. If you pour your hot drink into a mug instead of a vacuum
thermos flask, the heat will escape relatively quickly into its surroundings.
So a mug is most certainly an open system! Open systems are a lot more
complicated to understand than closed systems, and so scientists prefer to work
with closed systems when possible. Science usually stays away from open systems
because closed systems makes things much simpler to explain and can be a good
starting point before trying to explain open systems, too. Quantum mechanics
only deals with closed systems.
Traveling backward in time.
If you make a movie of yourself throwing a ball, and thread the film backwards,
it'll look the same as you catching a ball. So if you want to think of the
falling object as being the same as the rising one going backwards in time, the
physics will support that statement, but it doesn't sound all that cool. It
is, however, the same thing as antimatter being viewed as going backwards in
time.
At the most basic level, the laws of physics are symmetrical: reverse time and
they will follow the same route in reverse. Reverse the charge, and things
will be attracted where they would have repulsed, and vice versa. Flip them
both, and you've flipped it twice, so it's just like you started.
Since a positron is exactly like an electron, only with the opposite charge,
then if you (a) replace an electron with a positron, and (b) reverse time, it
behaves exactly like an electron. The physicists call this Charge/Parity (CP)
symmetry, where "parity" is actually more like looking at things in a mirror
rather than flipping time, but it's the same idea.
Flipping time is another way of looking at flipping left and right: a
left-moving object going forwards in time is just like a right-moving object
moving backwards.
An electron like a ball sitting in the same spot is a closed system. It cannot
change into a positron because it is not moving. The motionless ball is a
closed system which cannot experience CP symmetry breaking. A moving ball is an
open system where its motion can be deemed to have CP symmetry.
So in an open system that has experienced PT symmetry breaking, LENR occurs
because the nucleon undergoes CP symmetry breaking since in this case PT = CP.
In optics, there are special conditions involving optical cavities that can
experience PT summitry breaking. These cavities can reach out magnetically and
become entangled with nucleons via their magnetic projections. This phenomenon
is known as the chiral magnetic effect(1) — “chiral” means “distinguishing left
from right, When PT symmetry is broken in these entangled open systems of
optical cavities and nucleons decay via CP symmetry breaking. The energy of the
nucleon decay flows one way into the optical cavity.
It seems to me that it is central to the understanding of LENR to appreciate
the mechanisms of symmetry breaking with regards to nucleons.

Dear Andrea,
seems that to activate the E-Cat you need heat, does the QuarkX need heat to be
activated?
Best regards, Giuseppe

Not exactly. The mechanism is much more complex and is based on electromagnetic
fields.

================
The nature of the LENR reaction has evolved when the gas envelope is in the
plasma state to depend solely on optical mechanisms. An EMF trigger is the
factor can gets the LENR reaction going. not heat. As stated in the Rossi
patent, very high voltage electrostatic potential is that trigger. The name of
the triggering effect is "kerr effect". The minimum voltage at which the kerr
effect is triggered is 30,000 volts.
This trigger applies to both Rossi's low temperature reactions and his plasma
based reactions.
Kerr electro-optic effect
The Kerr electro-optic effect, or DC Kerr effect, is the special case in which
a slowly varying external electric field is applied by, for instance, a voltage
on electrodes across the sample material. Under this influence, the sample
becomes birefringent, with different indices of refraction for light polarized
parallel to or perpendicular to the applied field. The difference in index of
refraction is controlled by the strength of the applied electric field.
Birefringence modifies how light behaves inside a whispering gallery wave.
Birefringence is the optical property of a material having a refractive index
that depends on the polarization and propagation direction of light. These
optically anisotropic materials are said to be birefringent (or birefractive).
The birefringence is often quantified as the maximum difference between
refractive indices exhibited by the material. Crystals with non-cubic crystal
structures are often birefringent, as are plastics under mechanical stress.
The kerr effect produces a change in stated of the optical properties that
underpin the LENR reaction. Research should be directed at finding where that
change of state sets in.
As in Holmlid's experiments, a laser can produce the kerr effect
Optical Kerr effect
The optical Kerr effect, or AC Kerr effect is the case in which the electric
field is due to the light itself. This causes a variation in index of
refraction which is proportional to the local irradiance of the light. This
refractive index variation is responsible for the nonlinear optical effects of
self-focusing, self-phase modulation and modulational instability, and is the
basis for Kerr-lens modelocking. This effect only becomes significant with very
intense beams such as those from lasers. The optical Kerr effect has also been
observed to dynamically alter the mode-coupling properties in multimode fibre,
a technique that has potential applications for all-optical switching
mechanisms.
