Re: [Vo]:To Radiate or Not to Radiate
Axil, I appreciate your ongoing technical and logical explanations, primarily because I can understand them... My one comment about your following statement: * * *Without this radiation suppression mechanism in place and operating AT ALL TIMES, a cold fusion system is of little use.* It seems to me that a cold fusion system with containment is still better than a hot fission system with containment, i.e. Fukushima. since a cold fusion system can cool down by itself without having to dump half the ocean on it... The $20B ITER project will have significant containment to protect against intense neutron bombardment from the core. Also, if Nanospire is creating an assortment of rare earth metals through various transmutations and decays, it seems like that might be a USEFUL thing as long as you contain any radiation during production. Nanospire directed their Rydberg crystals at an aluminum core for initial tests, it seems like Rydberg Spires could be aimed at just about any element's Coulomb Barrier and yield some interesting results...

On the other hand, many people, including many here in Vortex appears to brush aside the evidence of radiation as circumstantial and unverified. What is the consensus? Is Radiation always present? Is Radiation a foolproof indication of an LENR process? This question is prompted after mulling over what Axil suggested to me a few post back. In his suggestion to my experimental protocols, he suggested I consider integrating a Cloud Chamber into my experiments. Well, after thinking about it for a while and trying to come up with a suitable way of integrating a HOT reactor inside a COLD cloud chamber; I have come to the conclusion that it might be beyond my technical and financial ability to do so. So, instead, I have come up with the second best thing. I have been thinking of integrating my reactor, not into a Cloud Chamber, but rather into an Ion Chamber design. Integrating a hot reactor into an Ion chamber appears to be straightforward and simple. So, instead of using flow calorimetry to detect excess heat in an LENR process, I will be using the Ion chamber to detect radiation. As far as I know, there is no known chemical process that releases radiation, if the reactants start from non-radioactive elements. So, if I detect radiation, high enough to be detectable in a DIY Ion chamber, then that excess radiation must be way above ambient, which means that there is only one possible conclusion - that my reactor inside the Ion chamber is releasing radiation. And since the reactor walls would be thick(er), most of the detected radiation would not be Alphas and Betas, but rather higher energy gammas. And if I am detecting copious gammas,
Re: [Vo]:To Radiate or Not to Radiate
The possibility has been brought to my attention that levels of neutron emission are generally so low that it's unlikely that they can be ascribed to a LENR process.

Can I reply to my own posting?! J Here's another recent article http://www.physorg.com/news/2012-02-exotic-ultracold-atoms.html with PDF here: http://arxiv.org/abs/1202. where they trap ultracold atoms in an optical lattice and then use a controllable (in direction and I assume magnitude) magnetic field, to help elucidate its affect on electrons. begin excerpt Charles Clark, co-director of the Joint Quantum Institute, and his co-authors at George Mason University, the University of Hamburg, Germany and the University of California, Riverside have studied what happens when ultracold highly magnetic atoms are held in an optical lattice and subjected to an external magnetic field, which can be steered in various directions. This field tugs on the atom-sized magnets and, along with the direction of the field itself, leave the atoms standing upright or pulled over on their sides at various inclinations described in the figure by the angles phi and theta. In this way, the researcher can tune the interaction-force on demand. end excerpt I wonder if they can do this with just a single atom, of any flavor? -Mark From: Mark Iverson-ZeroPoint [mailto:zeropo...@charter.net] Sent: Sunday, March 04, 2012 12:13 PM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: [Vo]:Strobe-light for atoms... cont'd They're getting closer to the atomic strobe-light, and the kind of experiments I want to see! http://www.physorg.com/news/2012-02-scientists-lcls-photovoltaic-action.html begin excerpt Stop-action X-ray snapshots of a ferroelectric nanolayer showed that the height of its basic building block, called a unit cell, contracted in response to bright light and then rebounded to become even longer than it was to begin with. The entire in-and-out atomic-scale wiggle took just 10 trillionths of a second, yet it indicated the mechanisms responsible for the materials photovoltaic effect. What we saw was unanticipated, Lindenberg said. It was amazing to see such dramatic structural changes, which we showed were caused by light-induced electrical currents in the ferroelectric material. The telling X-ray images were taken at the X-ray Pump Probe instrument of SLAC's Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), which hit the ferroelectric samples with a stunningly rapid one-two punch of violet laser light (40 quadrillionths of a second long) and X-rays (60 quadrillionths of a second long).

This can be done in a vacuum chamber and using electric and/or magnetic fields to hold and position it. These fields would also likely orient the atom in a consistent way. - With the EXTREMELY fast strobe light (ultra-ultra short pulse laser), slowly tune the frequency of the strobe-light and eventually it will equal the frequency of oscillation of the electron, or a subharmonic of it, and you will have a very high resolution image of that electron. ***AND***, it will appear to be motionless. Anyone who has used a strobe-light to set the ignition timing on a car knows exactly what I'm talking about. - Now with the phase-delay knob on this strobe-light, we slowly adjust it and you will view what appears to be a slow-motion movie of the electron's movement. To use the car-timing analogy, turn the distributor slowly and the timing-mark on the flywheel slowly moves in one direction. According to my model, I would be willing to bet that one would see the electron move thru the nucleus with every oscillation. but it traverses the center region much more quickly than when it reaches the outer bounds of its oscillation where it has to slow down and reverse direction.

Re: [Vo]:To Radiate or Not to Radiate
if you follow the Widom-Larsen theory, or similar nucleon absorption by nucleus (even hydrino is akind of neutron=e+p-v), the situation could be interpreted as : - no neutrons visible outside , because they are slower than thermal, and are absorbed early , or are not neutrons (hydrinos, protons) - only a few rare decay mode can produce neutrons, who are now more energetic and visible. those decay mode might be rarer than usual even, because of pauli crowded fermionic states, frustrating those decay branch. - many other radiation are produced , alpha, beta, beta+, protons, but they are quickly absorbed in the reactor - gamma seems to be absorbed (or supressed but no mecanism is proposed yet), and at least to be reduced in hardness, transformed in X-rays or UV, quite easily shielded by reactor or heavy materials (lead or heavy polymer) 2012/3/4 Eric Walker eric.wal...@gmail.com The possibility has been brought to my attention that levels of neutron emission are generally so low that it's unlikely that they can be ascribed to a LENR process.

Vorts, Thanks for all the useful web video input suggestions. Not surprisingly, some of the tips felt more compatible to my current needs and temperament than others. I am reaching an age in my life where I'm no longer enamored with the mystique of coding extensively in HTML or related programming web-authoring languages. When I was still in my 30s and 40s, I probably would have eaten all that stuff up! But alas, I no longer wish to be a web master wizard anymore. I seem to be graduating into senior nerd status. I suspect one of the objectives many a senior nerd finds highly attractive is the desire to delegate as much low-level coding into capable hands of reasonably well-written canned software packages. If I can find a package that contains a plethora of canned formats and themes, I'm sure I can find a something that will satisfy most of my needs, particularly if one is willing to put up with making reasonable compromises. At present Jed's suggestion of checking out WordPress seems to be a very promising tool. It might fit my current predilections. It seems to handle most (if not ALL) of the behind-the-scenes code. I gather one can still go in and tweak bits of “code” if you really haf-ta, but then you really don't haf-ta. That's fine by me.
