This would be a good time to bring up the recurrent issue of RF as a stimulant for gain in Ni-H. This is in the context of the Lamb shift and a resonant cavity for RF.
Rossi claims to use RF but DGT does not – so it is not clear that RF itself is important, since apparently good gain can be had without it. RF could also be inadvertent, in one sense, so we are not sure that gain can truly be had without it. Furthermore, if you study the material on the Lamb Shift, the frequency of ~1GHz comes up like the smile of the Cheshire cat. This would be roughly a 30 cm wavelength and a tiny fraction of an eV equivalent. It is no wonder that everyone in mainstream fizzix writes off any possibility that the Lamb Shift has any relevance to thermal gain. After all, it is a QED effect and that means low probability. Low probability times low delta-T gives you nada. Never mind that tunneling is a QM effect, and once upon a time, tunneling also meant low probability. That was before Intel showed that its CPU chips could control tunneling at THz rates. Even so, few of us are convinced that the Lamb Shift is the place to look for gain, since we had hoped that Moddel would have shown it by now - but if RF does turn up in any analysis of the DGT in any harmonic related a GHz – then things could change. Wonder if they have thought to scope the reactor itself? Finally - it is not impossible, even in DGT, that RF could be an unplanned function of resonance in the cavity itself combined with the ‘virtual’ superconductivity of paired protons ala JS Brown !! See the information on the Watkins-Ridley-Hilsum effect or the Gunn effect. Caveat: Inadvertent RF is remotely possible but admittedly is not likely (that comment is for Günter). Of course, significant thermal gain itself is not likely either. It looks like the Defkalion reactor would have an internal cavity of about 15 cm or half a wavelength, no? … and maybe a quarter wl on the diameter? Just saying… ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Actually Julian Brown himself may have a decent answer for this question. A least he had one back before he “changed hats” so to speak. If not - this is also the subject of Moddel’s patent which we have discussed here as well as Brown’s ideas in other papers. The overlap is not clear. Check out all of his stuff on archive: http://arxiv.org/abs/0711.1878 The “source of heat” in Moddel is supposedly an inherent asymmetry, like the Lamb Shift or DCE – dynamical Casimir effect (perhaps it is precisely the LS) where the low energy gain per transaction is made up by the terahertz transaction rate. However, this patent has not gotten traction either. The story of Rossi vis-à-vis JS Brown is immensely curious in light of his moving from Cambridge to EPO. Someone should write a book on it. I was hoping it would be Julian, who seems to be remarkably perceptive. Maybe you are doing that instead ? Jones From: GJB hydrides? Does anybody have a good handle on the possible quantities of heat involved when protons inside a metal lattice begin paring "condensation"? As per this paper by Julian Brown, who estimates that such phenomena may be exhibit by metals (like Ni, Pd, Nb) with high hydrogen loading. http://arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/0504019 Conclusion: "In addition to the normal determinations of superconductivity such as the Meissner effect, the exothermy associated with the pairing phase transition would be quite considerable and should therefore by readily measurable by infra-red or calorimetric techniques." Comment: The associated proton pairs that arise could explain the decreased resistance observed by Celani, as the metal forms islands saturated with condensed proton pairs in the superconducting phase. Proton-pairing condensation would also explain the "quiescence" effect, when all available protons have reached a sufficiently entangled state there is no more energy to be given off by this phase change. So it would not be fusion, or a nuclear reaction of any kind, but a very novel effect none-the-less. The high temperature proton-metal superconductors could have numerous technical applications and the proton-pairing phase-change latent heat effect could be utilized like a super-efficient, solid-state heat pump, with careful design of how to expose the cell to a "hot side" or a "cold side" depending on the stage of the cycle it is in (pairing or de-pairing).
