RE: [Vo]:Heat Output
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.

RE: [Vo]:multielectron catalysis theory A possible theory for rossi reactor
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 Rossis 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. -Original Message- From: ecat builder Here is an alternate site for download: http://ecatplanet.net/downloads/pdf/Reaktor_Rossi.pdf - Brad On Tue, Jan 17, 2012 at 10:23 AM, pagnu...@htdconnect.com wrote: The website has been down for some time now.

You also mentioned that you prefer that e.cat technology became American! You are Italian my friend, as I am, and you know very well in which bad situation our country is at the moment. A revolutionary technology like your, could be very useful for our renascence; there is a fresh air now in our new government. Why you did not consider to start production in Italy instead? I understand of your old problems you had in the past here, this cannot be a justification for a strong man like you are.

Thanks for your attention Giovanni Andrea Rossi January 17th, 2012 at 4:57 PM Dear john46blog: If we want to help Italy with this technology, we must develope it in the USA before.

Re: [Vo]:LENR G Silver Currency
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 stock exchanges...

RE: [Vo]:From NET: Bockris is still in the game!!
At 11:53 PM 1/16/2012, you wrote: 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 'fusion' as far as they're concerned. Now, if I was a physicist, I would 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.)

He did a considerable amount of excellent LENR research in the 90s, and eventually faced several official inquiries at the insistence of colleagues none of which found any wrong-doing or bad science. He really hasnt been that active as far as Im aware, at least not in academic circles. Perhaps Jed could fill us in on Bockris activities for the last 5 years, as regards to LENR. Brockris is obviously one of the giants in the field. It would be great to have an interview with Brockris that wasn't filtered through Krivit's obsession. There are severe problems with Widom-Larsen theory, and I'd love to know how Brockris understands those. Krivit has, to my 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 OMara Bockris, regarded as one of the worlds 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 Larsens 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 its 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

I have not really seen related material before. Hopefully, some more elementary introductory papers are available. If I find any, I will post pointers to them. Do you know of any? Regards, Lou Pagnucco 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 Rossis 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. -Original Message- From: ecat builder Here is an alternate site for download: http://ecatplanet.net/downloads/pdf/Reaktor_Rossi.pdf - Brad On Tue, Jan 17, 2012 at 10:23 AM, pagnu...@htdconnect.com wrote: The website has been down for some time now.

You do realize that we’re not just talking transmutation of two or three elements… the LENR tests which looked for transmuted elements found many… some over ten different elements, and I’m not counting isotopes as separate elements. LENR would most likely have a very disruptive impact on that market… which has advantages as well as disadvans… a lot of those metals are used in technologies like integrated circuits and special alloys for aircraft, and the price will come down, which is good for the consumer. 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.

Abd, I only want to ask your opinion on the unexpectedly low gamma radiation. Let's assume we have a nanowire (or nano-protrusion on a nano-particle) with diameter of a few nanometers and (experimentally observed) carrying a huge 10^11 [Amp/cm^2] current density. Then would this nanowire be enveloped in an ultra-intense surface vortex plasmon of very high momentum electrons? If a gamma release occurred at, or below, the metal surface, could many gammas escape at their birth energies, or would Compton-effect collisions with the electron shroud deplete most of their energy?

RE: [Vo]:Cooper pairing of protons
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. -Mark -Original Message- From: mix...@bigpond.com [mailto:mix...@bigpond.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 17, 2012 7:59 PM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: Re: [Vo]:Cooper pairing of protons 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.
