Re: [Vo]:LENr debate on scienceforum.net
Alain I think the link you provided has a lot of value. The reasons are many. There are many clarifications of what is the current status of LENR is in a nutshell. 1. There is no denial of that something happens when certain parameters are engaged some certain way, which produce more energy than what can be explained with current thermodynamic laws. 2. We do not know what is happening and where the science will need a modification. 3. We do not know if even the ecat is capable of producing a COP large enough that useful energy (I.E electricity) can be extracted for a long period of time - reliable. (Maybe changing soon - hope so.) 4. Scientists will discuss theoretical possibilities for a long time forward and an increasing number of scientists will be engaged if a viable commercial product is offered to the market. One day someone will provide an explanation and perhaps receive a Nobel prize or at least receive well deserved accolade. 5. Regardless of 4 above as soon as a commercial product is available we will see many competing products many with the Ecat concept and others with competing concepts. 6. It is clear to me that immediately we reach the critical point (commercialization), we will enter a period, which in its own way might be as important for the future development of LENR as is the reasons to find the theories behind it. The reasons for that i,s many interests are now going to collide. I do not think that any government conspiracy will be an issue for reasons I am happy to give later. However, I am sure that established businesses - particularly energy companies, which can see the of their business model - will be key players. I know that was a lot of words to reach a point obvious to most people here. My concern is that if we let the big and mighty and very resourceful energy companies take over they will work this entirely as it fits their agenda. Implementation will happen as is best for the change over of those large entities - as they are too big to fail they will allowed that by the government (see GM). I know that many people in Vortex wants to see greener earth and a better planet - soon. I think that it is most important to make sure there is an adequate business model to take care of the opportunity, which a successful LENR could provide. The problem is that the window of opportunity will be small. I will stop here with saying that in short that means to change to a more flexible format (business model) with very small footprint but high flexibility and speed.

Re: [Vo]:LENr debate on scienceforum.net
To Alain, It is not shocking to me. The reason is that at my first job (in semiconductor business, we dealt with 125C, 2kV and 10kA so it was challenges.) I had a guy working for me building test equipment I designed.) I enthusiastically bought some Teflon, which I learnt about in a magazine and asked my guy to do some test jigs. His response was: It is impossible, in the forties we tried another new material and it just caused problems and now nobody even knows about it, let us try to work it out with Bakelite instead. . After that and me forcing him to use Teflon he did everything to show me that it was impossible. One day he came into me and said we triumph in his voice. Now I need to stop using that Teflon stuff as I have an article here saying that at 400C this material will give off flor and that is poisonous. You never know which temperature this can reach in the lace. Here, send it back. I was shocked and then I have expected that changes are impossible. The non-believers need to be convinced one by one. The good thing is that the series 2,4,8, . . works well relatively soon as non-believers becomes enthusiasts. The negative thing is when you cannot convince one person about the idea - then you will forever be criticized for that, which is a pity as if you never fail you have not tried hard enbough.

Re: [Vo]:Higgs, spin, and an energy-sink
Jones-- Nice reference from Berkeley. The Nano Ni in the Rossi system may provide the necessary confinement of electrons to split them into spinons and holons. In the Ni system the low energy (.43 ev and 1.4 ev) may make distribution throughout the matrix possible with a host of split electrons participating in fractionation of the mass energy released in a Ni-H reaction. The energy would be distributed by re-establishment of whole electrons with spin and charge and resulting lattice vibrations. The ash of the reaction would be the new whole electrons along with the copper or whatever was formed from the Ni-H combination.

Re: [Vo]:LENr debate on scienceforum.net
Here is some theory for them... The hot fusion guys can’t understand how the cold fusion guys can overcome the coulomb barrier so easily. The key is Strongly Correlated Material, a condensed matter physics term used in type II superconductivity http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strongly_correlated_material In hot fusion, just a few subatomic particles are used in a vain attempt overcome the coulomb barrier through brut force high energy collision. In LENR, billions of trillions of electrons who are all working together using quantum mechanics to overcome the coulomb barrier. The proof of this reality is the formation of cooper pairs of electrons in Type II superconductivity. In this process this huge ensemble of electrons become strong enough to overcome the coulomb barrier between the fermions in a cooper pair. In type II superconductors, this process is called fractionalization, another condence physics term. When a large group of electrons are packed so tightly together by the arrangement of atoms in the superconductor material (Mott insulator), in order for one to move one beyond another, they must tunnel to where they are forced to go. And quantum tunneling is the only thing that they can do in such a tightly confined situation. The need to tunnel negates charge repulsion. Charge is negated by the rigid confinement of the group of electrons. These packed fermions only possess spin and are now called spinons. see http://phys.org/news200828132.html In LENR+ systems, one dimensional nano wire is what causes electon fractionalization. Also see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractionalization http://arxiv.org/abs/0911.1782 Fractionalization in Superconductor Josephson Junction Arrays Hinged by Quantum Spin Hall edges Abstract In this paper we study a novel superconductor-ferromagnet-superconductor (SC-FM-SC) Josephson junction array deposited on top of a two-dimensional quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulator. The existence of Majorana bound states at the interface between SC and FM gives rise to charge-e tunneling, in addition to the usual charge-2e Cooper pair tunneling, between neighboring superconductor islands. Moreover, because Majorana fermions encode the information of charge number parity, an exact Z_2 gauge structure naturally emerges and leads to many new insulating phases, including a deconfined phase where electrons fractionalize into charge-e bosons and topological defects. A new superconductor-insulator transition has also been found. The source of all these electrons is dipole motion in the 5 micron micro-particle that Rossi invented. This particle is the key to LENR and is sized to be resonant with the black body 400C operating temperature of the reactor. The dipole vibration caused by the ambient temperature of the reactor produces maximum dipole electron oscillation in the terahertz range that constrain the electron current to the surface of the micro particle through the skin effect. This electron motion is an alternating current that flows back and forth across the micro-particle to polarize charge. But these micro particles are also coated with billions of nanowires. The nanowire provides a 1 dimensional superconducting path for the dipole current to accumulate at the tip of each and every nanowire. This super current accumulates electrons at the nanowire tips in the fractional mega amp range. Nanowire coating on the surface of the micro-particle is a critical power concentration mechanism and is all important. This nanowire power concentration is what makes LENR+ go. Why does Surface plasmon polaritons (SPP) have the potential for over unity? The extreme curvature at the tips of nanowire produces a vortex of SPPs to develop when heat photons become entangled with these electrons through Fano resonance and whispering gallery wave effects. The boson nature of the SPP makes possible extreme concentration of an EMF soliton because the Pauli exclusion principle no longer applies to them. This soliton produces an huge anapole magnetic field that gets strong enough to produce pions through vacuum breakdown. These magnetically catalyzed pions disrupt nuclear structure of the hydrogen. Hydrogen Rydberg matter is attracted to these nanowire tips that further increase the EMF power application because of the extreme curvature related to the very small size of these nanowire tips. Larger nanoparticles also amplify the EMF concentration of the vortex formed at and around the tips of the wire in a zero loss dark mode energy transfer mechanism. There is a positive feedback mechanism that takes the gamma energy from the nuclear fusion of hydrogen present in the Rydberg crystals and adds that to the energy content of the vortex based soliton at the tips of the nanowire using the strong coupling of the magnetic force fields. This optical nano-cavity down shifts this gamma energy into the extreme ultraviolet range and through power reincorporation makes the amplitude of the SPP
