Nuclear Fusion in Micro/Nano-Scale Metal Particles

Two decades ago, Fleischmann and Pons reported excess heat generation in
electrolysis experiment using heavy water and Palladium cathodes. Since
then, many others have reported experimental observations of excess heat
generation and anomalous nuclear reactions occurring in metals at
ultra-low energies, now known as 'low-energy nuclear reactions' (LENR).
After a review of the key experimental observations, theoretical
explanations of the LENR phenomena will be described based on the theory
of Bose-Einstein condensation of nuclear fusion (BECNF) in
micro/nano-scale metal particles [1, 2]. The BECNF theory is based on a
single assumption capable of explaining the observed LENR phenomena;
deuterons in metals undergo Bose-Einstein condensation. While the BECNF
theory is able to make general qualitative predictions concerning LENR
phenomena it is also a quantitative predictive physical theory. Proposed
experimental tests of theoretical predictions will be described. Some of
the theoretical predictions have been confirmed by experiments reported
recently. Although the BECNF theory indicates possibilities of scaling
up heat generation under optimal conditions, experimental tests of
theoretical predictions are needed for confirmation, improvement of the
BECNF theory and to clarify potential practical applications. In view of
the impending world energy crisis, the proposed experimental tests of
the BECNF processes are urgently needed as LENR phenomena may well
represent a viable long-term alternative form of clean energy.

[Vo]:Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions Sourcebook

2010-02-19 Thread Jed Rothwell
You can see a list of papers and download the Sourcebook EndNote 
records for Vol. 1 here:


http://pubs.acs.org/isbn/9780841269668

It looks like you can get the full papers if you have sponsored 
access. I do not know what that is.


Vol. 2 is here:

http://pubs.acs.org/isbn/9780841224544

The names in both sets of EndNote records are messed up. I have 
corrected them in my versions.


I just finished cleaning up my EndNote file, fixing about 150 
duplicated and incorrectly entered author names. The full corrected 
database is, as always, here:


http://lenr-canr.org/DetailOnly.htm

That's in my own ASCII format. EndNote is more convenient, but you 
can't read it on line.


The EndNote export format for one of the Sourcebook entries looks like this:

%0 Book Section

%S ACS Symposium Series
%! Resonant Electromagnetic Interaction in Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions
%@ 0-8412-6966-1
%X Basic ideas about how resonant electromagnetic interaction (EMI) 
can take place in finite solids are reviewed. These ideas not only 
provide a basis for conventional, electron energy band theory (which 
explains charge and heat transport in solids), but they also explain 
how through finite size effects, it is possible to create many of the 
kinds of effects envisioned by Giuliano Preparata. The underlying 
formalism predicts that the orientation of the external fields in the 
SPAWAR protocol (1, 2) has direct bearing on the emission of 
high-energy particles. Resonant EMI also implies that nano-scale 
solids, of a particular size, provide an optimal environment for 
initiating Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR) in the PdD system.

RE: [Vo]:Joint General Colloquium at Purdue

2010-02-19 Thread Jones Beene
Ya' gotta like this guy Kim's open-minded thought process. And to think . he
is at Purdue and has not been silenced ? 

 

I notice that he and Rusi were both hired on at the same time in 2003. Go
figure. Maybe Kim is next in line to get the axe from those geniuses. After
all, Kim has essentially proposed that the 1908 Tunguska explosion involved
what is essentially warm as opposed to cold or hot, fusion. 

 

This is because he asserts (for one factor, at least) the velocity in the
confined plasma is not a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, and a generalized
momentum distribution leads to substantial increases of deuteron fusion
rates, resulting in a thermo-chemical-nuclear explosion (according to Kim).
This is the kind of thing that that proliferation experts hate to hear, so
that does not bode well for Tenure.

 

. all this hypothesis needs, to complete the picture, is to show a natural
means in the Oort cloud for accumulating Rydberg matter or ultradense D
clusters - in  the comet  formation :-)

 

BTW, there is such a mechanism, if one accepts the Mills solar corona f/H
hypothesis. 

 

With a little adjustment, it can provide both a mechanism for enrichment of
solar wind into deuterium clusters (differential freezing rates) and
eventual aggregation into a pre-BEC, prior to the dirty ice ever leaving
the Oort cloud.

[Vo]:Cold fusion author list

2010-02-19 Thread Jed Rothwell
I do not know if this will be of any use to 
anyone here, but anyway, here is the list of cold 
fusion authors from my EndNote files. The file is 
too big for this list, so this is A through L. M through Z follows.


There are 4,571 names on file.

There are probably some duplicates left. Some of 
the ones you might thing are duplicates, with one 
letter different, turn out to be two different 
people. I checked pretty carefully. I had 
difficulty checking the Chinese names.


I eliminated ~150, mainly duplicates such as:

Ota, K
Ota, K.  [WITH PERIOD]

Or:

Two decades ago, Fleischmann and Pons reported excess heat generation
in
electrolysis experiment using heavy water and Palladium cathodes.
Since
then, many others have reported experimental observations of excess
heat
generation and anomalous nuclear reactions occurring in metals at
ultra-low energies, now known as ‘low-energy nuclear reactions’
(LENR).
After a review of the key experimental observations, theoretical
explanations of the LENR phenomena will be described based on the
theory
of Bose-Einstein condensation of nuclear fusion (BECNF) in
micro/nano-scale metal particles [1, 2]. The BECNF theory is based on
a
single assumption capable of explaining the observed LENR phenomena;
deuterons in metals undergo Bose-Einstein condensation. While the
BECNF
theory is able to make general qualitative predictions concerning
LENR
phenomena it is also a quantitative predictive physical theory.
Proposed
experimental tests of theoretical predictions will be described. Some
of
the theoretical predictions have been confirmed by experiments
reported
recently. Although the BECNF theory indicates possibilities of
scaling
up heat generation under optimal conditions, experimental tests of
theoretical predictions are needed for confirmation, improvement of
the
BECNF theory and to clarify potential practical applications. In view
of
the impending world energy crisis, the proposed experimental tests
of
the BECNF processes are urgently needed as LENR phenomena may well
represent a viable long-term alternative form of clean energy.

[Vo]:Cold fusion journal list

2010-02-19 Thread Jed Rothwell
As long as I am at it, here is the list of journals from the EndNote 
file. Threre are some weird ones!


The journal name abbreviations are from an approved list that Ed 
Storms copied from Los Alamos years ago. I found an on-line version 
at U. British Columbia:

I wrote:

In my DetailOnly file it is reduced to this, with no abstract 
because I do not have the paper on file:

Nuclear Reactions, in Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions Sourcebook. 2008, 
American Chemical Society: Washington, DC. p. 99-123.


Category=Review


What I mean is, that's how I wrote the program that generates this 
list. The string you see here:


Chubb, S.R., Resonant Electromagnetic Interaction in Low-Energy 
Nuclear Reactions, in . . .


. . . is cranked out by the EndNote program. The Pascal program I 
wrote transfers this to the file here:


http://lenr-canr.org/DetailOnly.htm

And to the indexes here:

http://lenr-canr.org/LibFrame1.htmlhttp://lenr-canr.org/LibFrame1.html

I could throw in the abstracts for papers I do not have in the 
Library, but I decided not to, in order to keep the DetailOnly.htm small.


I do not have abstracts for all papers. In some cases I have the 
Britz bibliography text; in other cases I have text written by Ed 
Storms, and in still other cases I got nothing -- bupkis, as they say 
in Yiddish-English.


In the LENR-CANR.org library indexes I use only the actual abstracts 
from the authors, where available, or I write a short description. I 
do not use text from Britz or Storms.


I am not inclined to change the formats of these files because 
readers do not use them much. Most papers are accessed via Google, I 
think from the Google search box on the main page, which is limited 
to LENR-CANR.org.


By the way, it is a cinch to add a Google search box to any web page. 
It takes 2 minutes. There are instructions at Google. They crank out 
the HTML for you. Just reset the default choice to your own page.

It looks like you can get the full papers if you have sponsored access. 
I do not know what that is.


That means ACS is giving those papers away for free.
