This depends on how you classify the statement. If you expected it to

intentions. In the other case, where they are promoting LENR, this is 
tremendously helpful / useful. Therefore, I think, Gibbs headline is 
misleading and therefore not useful at all.

 multielectron catalysis theory A possible theory for rossi reactor

 The situation with the new energy source [1] developed by the Italian
 physicists mainly is
 similar  to  the  situation with HTSP  (high  temperature
 superconductors):  there  is  the  effect, but there are no phenomenon
 physical mechanism explanation and adequate theory.
 A.  Rossi’s  reactor  theory  suggested  is  based  on  the  developed
  electron-quark  analogy
 method and multielectron theory [2, 3]. The method difference is
 availability of a color charge in
 electrons  analogous  to  the  color  charge  of  quarks  in  quantum
 chromodynamics  (QCD)

No, and she has been asked to provide her name, but she cowardly hides

occasionally adds some useful dialog to The Collective, but 90% of her
barrage of postings are the same thing; suspicions about Rossi and SGT, and
that none of the demos has been completely conclusive - all of which we knew

RE: [Vo]:Heat Output

2012-01-17 Thread Mark Iverson-ZeroPoint
Yes, as Mr. Lawrence noted, aliases are sometimes used, with little or no
comments from the Collective.  However, those contributors usually provide a
high signal-to-noise in their postings, for example, Axil Axil.  He has 129
postings since 8/18/2011 (5 months), and nearly all of them are signal,
heavy on technical content, links to interesting technical papers or
original thought.  Yugo, on the other hand, has 835 postings since only
11/10/2011 (2 months)!  Nearly all of them are noise - she is 'only
responding to the believers continued misinformation'; her points can be
summarized thus:

 

- None of the e-Cat demos have been incontrovertible (most here agree).  MY
has provided some useful comment/data, but most is simply the repetition
about inconclusiveness, and how easy it would be for Rossi to allow
independent test that would satisfy skeptics. All these are points made long
before she arrived.

- Contradictions in statements made by Rossi or DGT over time (these *prove*
nothing, and most were also noticed prior to MY's arrival).

- Rossi's 'checkered' past (which the Collective had ferreted out by April,
long before MY arrived on the scene).

- Her personal suspicions based on the previous points. we all have these,
but they prove nothing unless its first-hand, and/or there is factual info
to back them up.

 

This forum was primarily formed to allow people to ask themselves, *what if*
some person's wild-ass claims are real. and to then discuss the technical
aspects without it digressing into the true believers vs pathological
skeptics.  It therefore tries to NOT focus on the person, as Jed has pointed
out, even a notorious murderer (the Birdman of Alcatraz) can have novel
insights which would be of interest to this forum. There is plenty of
skepticism even without MY, and seldom do the 'regulars' ever reach
consensus when discussing an issue.  See:

The Vortex-L list was originally created for discussions of professional
research into fluid vortex/cavitation devices which exhibit anomalous energy

reports and research. SKEPTICS BEWARE, the topics wander from Cold Fusion,

supposedly crackpot claims. Before you subscribe, please see the rules

So, remain anonymous if you wish, but please try to avoid endless repetition

to back them up.  Realize that this forum has been around for over 15 years,
and has followed LENR and the E-Cat very closely. there is little that has
NOT been discussed and analyzed to death.  If keenly interested, then please
take time to read thru the archives starting from last January, which was
Rossi's first 'demo'.  If interested in LENR, then visit lenr.org, Jed
Rothwell's site, which is a repository of all LENR/CF material,

RE: [Vo]:multielectron catalysis theory A possible theory for rossi reactor

2012-01-17 Thread Jones Beene
Thanks for posting this - and it is intriguing in one way but flawed in
another - certainly in the suggested binding energy. If it were true, the
nickel active material would be completely unmeltable, for one thing. There
is no basis for going to that extreme.

The most obvious flaw in this theory goes back to the vagaries of the QM
species called a multiparticle, which is theorized as an variety of
entangled species but otherwise is imaginary. Of course, the neutrino was
also imaginary at one early stage. OTOH, the part about entanglement is
possibly the best feature, in explaining E-Cat/Hyperion - because the sudden
loss of entanglement is the elegant way to explain the huge problem of
periodic quiescence. And the appearance of entanglement explains how the
strong force can be used for gain without fusion or fission. And the
re-emergence of entanglement explains why the reactor can be started up
again easily but with a time delay.

In Rossi’s reactor, these Russian theorists say the multiparticle is created
by the color interaction of molecular hydrogen H2 electrons and Ni crystal
lattice atoms valence electrons. This kind of sounds like
spintronics/excitonics - and it should. The more you think about it, the
more sense it makes.

But there are two big problems before moving forward - first, multiparticles
have not been documented as real AFAIK - and second, certainly not detected
with anything close to this binding energy (~300 keV). They need to get
realistic on the binding energy. Spintronics/excitonic potential energy is
far less. 

Of course, the proof could be E-cat/Hyperion and even Thermacore. We have
talked about entanglement before - and this is the second best way to
realize how it would work in practice. The best way is still to suggest that
the nickel is responsible for spillover and surface pitting provides the
rigidity. Proton entanglement of dense surface hydrogen (2D) makes sense as
it is already bound in 5 or 6 atoms, according to Holmlid, and certain kinds
of surface crystals makes sense too - especially since one particular paper
can explain the earlier Thermacore work with Potassium catalyst. See
Macroscopic quantum entanglement and ‘super-rigidity’ of protons in the
KHCO3 crystal Abstract here:

http://iopscience.iop.org/0953-8984/18/12/006

If we find out that either Rossi or DGT did copy Thermacore's use of
potassium carbonate as the so called secret then the entanglement
hypothesis will vault ahead of all the others as the most likely
explanation.

Please post the news - if anyone finds reference or evidence to potassium
carbonate in either of these newer devices. It will definitely be the
smoking gun. 

BTW hydrogen potassium carbonate is expected from the dehydrogenated
molecule, in the presence of spillover, and the initial entanglement could
be a nano-magnetic phenomenon of the adjoining nickel.

At last a theme where I can contribute, being an economist. :-)

Money today is Fiat money. There is no correlation between the dollar and
the oil. Oil has its price on dollar, not the other way around.

Currencies have their value based on several things, amongst which:
government credibility, inflation expectations, public debt, interests,
etc...

There would be significant changes in currencies exchange prices if the oil
economy should collapse. But that is not because the oil backup today's
currencies, but because some of those things that holds some currencies
values worldwide would change significantly. I mean, lending money to
Venezuela or Russia could be a bad idea, since these countries currencies
value depends a lot on oil/gas exports. People would sell bolivares and
rublos because their perception of these currencies risk would increase
overnight. America would have a smaller trade deficit and China would have
an even larger trade surplus.

What would happen to the financial markets wordwide? Nobody knows...
Oil/Gas companies are either first or second largest companies in some very
large markets like USA, China, Brazil, Great Britain, France and Russia

The electricity generation and distribution companies are also very

I asked a close
friend (PhD physicist) and he said the same thing as Krivit; that fusion has
a *very* specific meaning *to a physicist*, and neutron capture is not

hope that I'd be more concerned about whether the LENR/CF data was rigorous
enough and not be concerned about what it was being called, but then, my job
and my field of expertise is not likely to be ridiculed for delaying the
dawn of a new era for 20+ years.  Humans are interesting indeed.


Yes.

Neutron capture reactions are not generally labelled fusion because 
neutron capture is more specific. The answer you get from a 
physicist may depend on the question.


Is neutron capture fusion? may elicit various responses, from No, 
to Well, we don't normally call it that, to Well, it's obviously 
the fusion of a neutron with a nucleus, and sometimes neutrons are 
considered an element ('Neutronium'), so I guess you could call it a 
kind of fusion. Depends on how deeply the physicist thinks about it, 
as to the range of possible answers.


However, if you ask the physicist, If there is a reaction mechanism 
that takes in deuterium as fuel and produces helium as a product, is 
this a fusion mechanism? I think just about every one would say yes.


One might get more specific and look at the reactions proposed by 
Widom and Larsen. If we look at the *complete reaction*, is this fusion?


What is being done is to look at one piece of the reaction (the 
neutron absorption) and ask if that's fusion, and while it is the 
step where the actual fusion takes place, where Z is bumped, there is 
also another name for it, more commonly used.


But we are not looking at the individual reaction, we are looking at 
and describing the *whole effect.* What's going in and what is coming out?


If what is going into a black box is deuterium and, when the box is 
restored to equilibrium, what is coming out is helium and heat, it's 
a fusion box. It really doesn't matter what happens inside.


Now, W-L theory predicts *lots* of transmutations. These are not 
observed to be correlated with the heat. Transmutations are indeed 
observed, but at levels way below that of helium. Further, gamma 
emissions would be expected from neutron activation reactions from 
any slow neutrons, not to mention ultra low momentum neutrons. The 
gammas are not observed. W-L propose a totally novel mechanism for 
gamma suppression, and, realize, this mechanism would have to be very 
efficient, catching *lots* of gammas, yet the mechanism would only 
cover, as proposed, the area of formation of heavy electrons. there 
would be edge effects, some gammas would escape.


(Note that Larsen has patented a gamma ray shield based on this idea. 
There is no published confirmation of any such effect, and Larsen has 
never revealed any experimental evidence behind the claim. That such 
a patent could be issued, while patents on cold fusion are rejected 
as impossible, like perpetual motion machines, is just an example 
of how much damage the physics establishment did with its little 
semantic error.)

Brockris is obviously one of the giants in the

with Widom-Larsen theory, and I'd love to know

knowledge, never explored the reason why so many 
in the field reject W-L theory, practically out-of-hand.


I'll add that until we do know what is happening 
in these reactions, nothing can be completely ruled out.


However, one fact is clear. Helium is being 
produced, in a cell where the likely source of 
the requisite nucleons is deuterium. W-L theory 
proposes a process where a deuteron becomes a 
dineutron through electron capture (one could 
indeed call that the fusion of a deuteron with 
an electron), and then the neutrons cause further 
reactions, some of which release helium. Was that helium formed by fusion?


The only problem with the statement is if one 
restricts the term fusion to a particular 
reaction, i.e., D + D - He-4, with no intermediaries.



What prompted this posting is the following blog from NET/SKrivit:

Bockris Paper Advances Thanks to Widom-Larsen Theory
Posted on January 13, 2012 by Steven B. Krivit

John O’Mara Bockris, regarded as one of the 
world’s pre-eminent electrochemists, recently 
advised me that he overcame objections by 
referees to a paper he submitted for publication 
by citing the Widom-Larsen Theory.


Bockris sent me a letter on Jan. 2 and discussed his progress.

“I have been absolutely intrigued by [Lewis] 
Larsen and have changed my mind about his 
stuff,” Bockris wrote. “I used one of his 
equations in a paper which was held up by 
referees and was able to defeat them by Larsen’s equation!”


Bockris has also been following my distinction 
between low-energy nuclear reactions and “cold fusion.”


“If I understand clearly what you say, you agree 
that some of the work that has been going on may 
involve nuclear reactions,” Bockris wrote, “but 
that it’s not fusion. Is that what you said? If 
it is, then I agree with it. Most of the 
condensed matter nuclear reactions do not involve fusion.”


Which begs the question. What is fusion? There 
is a standard definition, and the standard 
definition is applied both to simple reactions 
such as D+D, which is very well-known and 
studied, under hot conditions, and, as well, 
low-temperature catalyzed conditions, as with 
muon-catalyzed fusion, and as well to complex 
reactions, as in stellar interiors. Most high-Z 
elements are formed through nucleosynthesis, from 
lighter elements, and that is, by definition, fusion.


In rejecting cold fusion, the physics 
establishment fell into a very easy trap. Had 
they been rigorous in their descriptions and in 
the explanations of why they were rejecting it, 
they'd probably have noticed the error. They 
assumed that if it was fusion, it must be D+D 
fusion, straight, no complications. They were 
essentially claiming that complications were 
impossible, which is *always* an error. As an 
example, if I say that fusion is impossible at 
temperatures lower than X, I'd obviously be in 
error, unless I very carefully qualify the statement, because:


1. For any particular reaction, under particular 
conditions, there will be a fusion cross-section, 
essentially a measure of the rate of fusion. 
Because of tunneling, the fusion cross-section is 
never zero, if the reaction itself is possible at 
any temperature. What is really being said is not 
that fusion is impossible, but that the rate at 
low temperatures will be very low, well below the 
rates necessary to explain the Pons and 
Fleischmann results, and other work in the field.


2. However, to calculate that rate, one must 
define a specific reaction. Call that reaction Z. 
Z may be a known reaction, in which case rates 
and products may be known. From the experimental 
data, one may be able to rule out Z as happening, 
but even this can be shaky. Is it possible that Z 
could happen due to an unexpected form of 
catalysis? Physicists may have a knee-jerk idea 
that this is unlikely, but no physticist worth 
his salt would say that it's impossible. The 
unlikely comes from ideas that if this reaction 
took place under low-temperature conditions, it 
would have been observed, but this argument 
breaks down if examined closely. After all, 
observations are being reported. When we look 
back, we find

 Thanks for posting this - and it is intriguing in one way but flawed in
 another - certainly in the suggested binding energy. If it were true, the
 nickel active material would be completely unmeltable, for one thing.
 There
 is no basis for going to that extreme.

 The most obvious flaw in this theory goes back to the vagaries of the QM
 species called a multiparticle, which is theorized as an variety of
 entangled species but otherwise is imaginary. Of course, the neutrino was
 also imaginary at one early stage. OTOH, the part about entanglement is
 possibly the best feature, in explaining E-Cat/Hyperion - because the
 sudden
 loss of entanglement is the elegant way to explain the huge problem of
 periodic quiescence. And the appearance of entanglement explains how the
 strong force can be used for gain without fusion or fission. And the
 re-emergence of entanglement explains why the reactor can be started up
 again easily but with a time delay.

 In Rossi’s reactor, these Russian theorists say the multiparticle is
 created
 by the color interaction of molecular hydrogen H2 electrons and Ni crystal
 lattice atoms valence electrons. This kind of sounds like
 spintronics/excitonics - and it should. The more you think about it, the
 more sense it makes.

 But there are two big problems before moving forward - first,
 multiparticles
 have not been documented as real AFAIK - and second, certainly not
 detected
 with anything close to this binding energy (~300 keV). They need to get
 realistic on the binding energy. Spintronics/excitonic potential energy is
 far less.

 Of course, the proof could be E-cat/Hyperion and even Thermacore. We have
 talked about entanglement before - and this is the second best way to
 realize how it would work in practice. The best way is still to suggest
 that
 the nickel is responsible for spillover and surface pitting provides the
 rigidity. Proton entanglement of dense surface hydrogen (2D) makes sense
 as
 it is already bound in 5 or 6 atoms, according to Holmlid, and certain
 kinds
 of surface crystals makes sense too - especially since one particular
 paper
 can explain the earlier Thermacore work with Potassium catalyst. See
 Macroscopic quantum entanglement and ‘super-rigidity’ of protons in the
 KHCO3 crystal Abstract here:

 http://iopscience.iop.org/0953-8984/18/12/006

 If we find out that either Rossi or DGT did copy Thermacore's use of
 potassium carbonate as the so called secret then the entanglement
 hypothesis will vault ahead of all the others as the most likely
 explanation.

 Please post the news - if anyone finds reference or evidence to potassium
 carbonate in either of these newer devices. It will definitely be the
 smoking gun.

 BTW hydrogen potassium carbonate is expected from the dehydrogenated
 molecule, in the presence of spillover, and the initial entanglement could
 be a nano-magnetic phenomenon of the adjoining nickel.

 disruptive impact on that market… which has advantages as well as
 disadvans… a lot of those metals are used in technologies like integrated

Yeah -- I've taken a look at some of the NAA and SIMS spectra.  The
isotopes are all over the map.  If the data are taken at face value, it
looks like whatever you put on the nickel or palladium surface could
potentially be modified significantly.  It's interesting on some level to
think that you could generate isotopes using a controlled process of some
kind, and being able to do this would no doubt be valuable for scientific
and technological applications.

But there are three considerations that give me pause, here.  The first two
are related to evidence and the third to safety.  First, a lot of the
spectra in the papers are small and hard to read and don't give you clear
error bars, so it's difficult to get a sense of how much above error the
shifts are at the end of the experiment.  Some papers give this level of
detail, which is helpful to have.  But in any event the following slides
give a good overview of some of the subtleties involved in this kind of
measurement:  http://www.lenr-canr.org/acrobat/ApicellaMmassspectr.pdf.

Second, I don't have a good sense of what the difference between a genuine
shift in isotopes, on one hand, and contamination of some kind, on the
other, would look like.  The question legitimately arises whether there are
simply impurities in the hydrogen gas or heavy water that are glomming onto
the cathode.  I imagine there are some people who could look at the spectra
and immediately get a sense of the difference.

A third concern relates to safety.  The possibility has already been
brought up that if these experiments emit gamma rays (I've read several
papers that indicate that they do under certain circumstances), then it's
likely that any devices would be regulated.  It's fine to create
regulations, but since such devices involve components that you can
purchase over the Internet and assemble at home, there's only so much you
can do to keep any emerging technology under control.  What if you could
take something like uranium-238, which is relatively abundant, add
sufficient neutrons to it and then let it alpha and beta decay to
uranium-235?  This is the kind of thing that happens in the course of
r-process nucleosynthesis, which seems like it might be similar to what is
going on in LENR.  This chart suggests that if you can get something into
the actinide series, you're well on your way:

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Radioactive_decay_chains_diagram.svg

I can only imagine that there are complications here and there, including
losing relatively unstable isotopes before they can accumulate.  But the
larger point is that the discovery of LENR, if it is real, might have
negative implications as well as positive ones.

Let's assume we have a nanowire (or nano-protrusion on a nano-particle)

Then would this nanowire be enveloped in an ultra-intense surface vortex

If a gamma release occurred at, or below, the metal surface, could many
gammas escape at their birth energies, or would Compton-effect

 didn't amount to that, and that Defkalion have showed nothing.)  It's Rossi
 (and Defkalion) he's skeptical of.

 d) The subject heading is a mis-statement of what Gibbs said (ie that NASA's
 statement added nothing useful). Neither Zawodny or Gibbs said that LENR
 couldn't be useful.


Zawodny wrote on his blog:
As for what people are trying to read into this video, specifically
my use of the word “demonstrated”, it is my professional opinion that
the production of excess energy has been demonstrated when the results
of the last 20+ years of experimentation are evaluated. There has been
a lot of work done in the past 20+ years. When considered in aggregate
I believe excess power has been demonstrated. I did not say, reliable,
useful, commercially viable, or controllable.  If any of those other
terms were applicable I would have used them instead. If anything, it
is the lack of a single clear demonstration of reliable, useful, and
controllable production of excess power that has held LENR research
back. As a non-technical piece aimed at the general public, my limited
media training has taught me that less information/detail is generally
better than more. I did not produce or direct the video. While I saw
the video before it was released, I did not learn of it’s release
until the email started pouring in Thursday morning.

He paints a dismal picture of progress in the field. There has been
more than a single instance of reliable and controllable amounts of
excess heat.The lastest commercial claims, even if they remain
shrouded in trade secrets, should have been expected to arise by now
give the pace of developments in recent years.

My understanding concurs with Robin's, that they need to be in-phase.

However, as Axil pointed out in his reference to a PhysOrg article which
states:
These polaritons overwhelmingly prefer to march in step with each other,
entangling themselves quantum mechanically.

Not sure if that experiment was at near 0K, or 273K.  When thinking about
all the work on BECs, when one removes all heat energy the individual
oscillations will establish phase coherence... kind of like women's
menstrual cycles all coming into sync when they live in close proximity!
(Never thought I'd have a good use for that tidbit of info!) :-)

However, I think the comments by Axil are referring to situations where
there is a considerable amount of thermal energy present (normal temps)???
In that case, and in bulk matter, the heat quanta are shuffling around the
lattice in a random and non-coherent manner so one is dealing with, well,
'bulk' matter! And due to the randomness of the heat quanta doin' the Texas
Two-Step shuffle, one has to use probabilities to describe atomic processes.

Understand that heat quanta cause the oscillations of the subatomic elements
of atoms to become slightly out of sync, and imparts a little extra momentum
to one of the elements, which 'unbalances' it (makes its oscillations no
longer harmonic with other elements), and that causes the entire assemblage
(atom) to vibrate.  Imagine the wheel of a car being an electron, which is
perfectly balanced and rotates perfectly.  Now add a lead weight (a quantum
of heat), and the wheel now is wobbling all around since it is 'out of
balance'.  That in turn causes the entire car to shimmy.  The glue holding
the lead weight can't stand the stress and the lead weight is ejected.

This is where one begins to respect the fact that solid matter is really
only an illusion; *solid* matter is only what we perceive at the size and
timescale of our senses/perception.  When one gets down to nanometers and
attoseconds, it's all oscillations of *something*... god forbid I call it
aether.

In reply to  Axil Axil's message of Sun, 8 Jan 2012 02:35:02 -0500:
Hi,
[snip]
Where N can be 1 to very many, N identical waves are said to be coherent.
These many waves have the same waveform; they are all in fact the same 
wave. Since particles are matter waves, N particles that are identical 
and indistinguishable are coherent.  These matter waves can be made 
identical by any number of resonance interactions.

I think that to be coherent they also need to be in phase, which is nearly
impossible to achieve if they are in motion relative to one another.

Robin van Spaandonk
