Since Rydberg matter can act as a condensate if you remove the heat, I
thought this was applicable.  I realize the leap of faith in believing
something that happens @ approx.  300K-500K lower temperatures applies to
the CF case, but I see it just as believable as a fusion which typically
happens at multi-millions of degrees K higher temperatures.

This is a good find with possible relevance for Ni-H, Stewart, but many
observers will have a different take on how far one can take the BEC due to
thermal issues.

 

The classic dipolar boson and probably the only one which has a chance to
form a BEC at high temperature, since it has greatly reduced statistical
energy states which need to be aligned - is the short-lived nucleus
Helium-2. The following reversible nuclear reaction, common on the Sun,
lasts only a tiny fraction of a second:

 

P+P-2He-P+P

 

It is dipolar, since the only thing keeping it from happening permanently is
anti-aligned spin. The fact it forms at all, and so often, indicates how
easy it would be to fuse permanently, but for the spin. And yes, technically
it disproves Pauli, if your clock is fast enough. Importantly, this is by
far the most common nuclear reaction in the Universe - 99.99+% of all
nuclear reactions on stars consist of only this reversible reaction.
Fortunately, on occasion, before the fused 2He can decay back to protons -
there will be a rare beta decay to deuterium, which is the ultimate source
of solar energy.. 

 

So while the basic reaction gives almost no net energy, since it starts
with protons and ends with protons. things could be very different in a warm
cavity environment, such as a nickel pore. In fact, although we often think
of a cryogenic BEC of consisting of tens of thousands of atoms - a warm BEC
involved in Ni-H at relatively high temperature could consist of only 4
atoms.

 Conventional Nuclear Theory of Low-Energy 
Nuclear Reactions in Metals: Alternative 
Approach to Clean Fusion Energy Generation


Oh, I so much wish that scientists in this field 
would stop jumping way, way ahead, to give 
implications way behind what they are actually able to write about.


We know that

1. If LENR is real, and
2. If it can be made practical,

then

Yes, there are huge implications for our energy future.

It took many years of research to establish the 
first proposition, and that work did not 
establish the second. That fact is often cited by 
pseudoskeptics as some kind of proof against the 
first proposition, but that's preposterous. An 
effect can easily be real but not be practically 
accessible, such as the Fleischmann-Pons Heat 
Effect, which is famously unreliable, requires 
expensive materials, and it looks like the 
reaction ultimately destroys the reaction sites, in rather short order.


And we don't have confirmed science yet on the 
alternative approaches, such as NiH. We don't 
even know the ash from NiH, not to mention have a 
clear and widely-confirmed handle on heat from it.



 Cryogenic ignition of deuteron fusion in metal 
particles is proposed as an alternative 
approach to clean fusion energy generation.




 B. D+D Reaction Channels in Metals
From many experimental measurements by 
Fleischmann and Pons [16] in 1989, and many 
others [17-19] over 23 years since then, the 
following experimental observations have 
emerged from experimental results reported from 
electrolysis and gas-loading experiments. They 
are summarized below (as of 2011, not complete: 
exit reaction channels {4}, {5}, and {6} are 
defined below and are shown in Fig.1):

(1) The Coulomb barrier between two deuterons are suppressed.
(2) Production of nuclear ashes with anomalous rates:
R{4}  R{6} and R{5}  R{6}.
(3) 4He production commensurate with excess heat 
production, no 23.8 MeV .-ray.
(4) Excess heat production (the amount of excess 
heat indicates its nuclear origin).

(5) More tritium is produced than neutron R{4}  R{5}.
(6) Production of hot spots and micro-scale craters on metal surface.
(7) Detection of radiations.
(8) “Heat-after-death”.
(9) Requirement of deuteron mobility (D/Pd  ~0.9,
electric current, pressure gradient, etc.).
(10) Requirement of deuterium purity (H/D  1).

[...] [list of reactions for item 2]

{4} D(m) + D(m) . p(m) + T(m) + 4.03 MeV (m);
{5} D(m) + D(m) . n(m) + 3He(m) + 3.27 MeV (m);
{6} D(m) + D(m) . 4He(m) + 23.8 MeV (m),
where m represents a host metal lattice or metal particle.



Aw, this drives me nuts. Good thing I was already 
nuts, or this would be a serious problem


Kim is unfortunately confusing conclusions, 
largely premature, from experimental observation 
with the observations themselves. Some of what he 
states is closely rooted in observation, some is 
reasonable conclusion from it, some is 
speculation. All mixed together. Let's look:


1. That's not an experimental observation, 
period. It would be very difficult to observe, at 
best. It's a conclusion from the fact of LENR, 
but not all forms of LENR necessarily involve a 
suppression of the Coulomb barrier.


2. The ashes are confused with a set of reactions 
that would produce them. The ashes may be 
produced -- and almost certainly are produced -- 
by other reactions. R4 and R5 are certainly not 
happening, but the evidence that R6 is happening 
is weak, because of the missing gammas. While 
someone, including Kim, might yet pull a rabbit 
out of the hat, it looks, at first sight, that R6 
is not happening either. There are other LENRs 
that can produce helium, the most notable being 4D - Be-8 - 2 He-4.


3. Correct.
4. Correct.
5. Correct.
6. Correct, apparently.
7. Radiation is only detected at low levels, and confirmation is weak.
8. Correct.
9. Correct. But electric current is not required. 
This is merely some kind of misstatement.
10. Correct for PdD, apparently. About 1% H, atom 
percent, is adequate to poison the effect.


Number 10 actually shows that he's only talking 
about the FPHE, and thus *not* about reasonable 
clean fusion energy generation.


That's fine, in itself, I'm only complaining 
about connecting energy generation with what 
should primarily be, as it should have been in 
1989, pure science. That linkage, then, weakens 
the presentation, as obvious counterarguments become legitimate.

I replied with an examination of Kim's paper. Now I'm looking at the 
above comment. Jeff gives three proposed experiments. He's not 
accurately stated what Kim has prooposed, not with all of these.


a. Yes. And it is expected to be different from the distribution in 
an ideal gas, that's fairly obvious. How different is not known.


b. Kim writes, Experiments are proposed to measure the diffusion 
rates of both deuterons and protons in a metal as a function of 
temperature. When the BEC of deuterons in a metal occurs, it is 
expected that the deuteron diffusion rate will increase substantially 
more than that of proton. We need to explore a number of other 
experimental methods for observing the superfluidity, such as the use 
of torsional oscillators. Kim is proposing more than a measurement 
of the diffusion rates, which are known, at least for relatively high 
temperatures; he's looking for variation with temperature, presumably 
at very low temperatures. The diffusion rate is related to the 
velocity distribution, by the way.


c. He does not propose putting metal nanoparticles in 4He. Rather, he 
is proposing cooling nanoparticle PdD to liquid 4He *temperatures*.


Kim's second experiment is quite unlikely to show much, but it's 
possible, and we should always remember that Pons and Fleischmann 
expected to find nothing in PdD, even very highly loaded. In fact, 
with hindsight, they *did* find nothing in highly loaded PdD itself, 
probably. But they accidentally created nuclear-active environment, 
probably on the surface. I say it is unlikely to show much because 
the reaction rate is quite slow, so almost all the deuterium is not 
in BEC form. But maybe something would show up!


As to the third, I'd be surprised if it hasn't been tried, it's 
simple enough. Against this possibility is that the FPHE (PdD) is a 
reaction that increases in rate with temperature. Watch out! Don't 
just dump a pile of highly loaded PdD into liquid helium!


(There is some reason to think that highly loaded PdD might also be 
susceptible to pressure ignition, using an explosive trigger. LANL 
apparently tried it without success, but maybe they got some 
parameter wrong. My don't try this at home variation would be 
making some very highly loaded PdD and then whacking it with a sledge 
hammer. Almost certainly, nothing would happen. But, just think: 
don't try an experiment if you are not prepared for it to work a lot 
better than you imagine! Pons and Fleischmann, in about 1984, lost a 
lab bench and some inches of concrete from the floor. But they might 
just as easily have lost the whole building, we don't know. They 
scaled down, then, for very good reasons, and then skeptics 
complained about the size of the effect)

Just a couple noteworthy items from my research for those few of you that
cannot get enough of my black hole/collapsed matter theory of CF.

A 2008 study considered the internal mass of a black hole to be very
similar to a dense Bose Einstein Condensate, not necessarily a singularity.
http://arxiv.org/pdf/0807.0315.pdf


Evaporation of collapsed matter/MBHs should produce X-Rays:

http://arxiv.org/pdf/1105.0265v1.pdf

In the process of quantum evaporation, mini black holes produce X-rays
while losing mass, until they eventually disappear. Although there has been
many attempts to observe these X-ray signatures, they have never been
detected, suggesting that mini black holes were not created in large
numbers as expected, or that they do not evaporate. ( or maybe they are
looking in the wrong place!)

If they do not evaporate completely , they might just bind to matter, like
maybe on a coil, equipment or maybe your skin...

On the other hand, if quantum evaporation does not exist, mini black holes
would have a peculiar behavior. Stellar (and supermassive) black holes are
so dense that any object crossing their event horizon cannot escape their
gravity, not even light. In the absence of quantum evaporation, mini black
holes would gravitationally bind matter, without absorbing it: matter
orbits the black hole at a certain distance. The researchers name it
the Gravitational Equivalent of an Atom (GEA). If these GEAs exist and can
be detected, it would provide a way to test quantum evaporation.

 What would be the proposed reactions so that we can look at these?


I just did a few calculations, and there are some promising reactions that
would take place if we were able to shield the proton and significantly
reduce the potential barrier to proton capture in nickel.

Apart from the Coulomb repulsion to be overcome, I think the important
thing here would be to have an exothermic mass balance at the end. I did a
little bit of rooting around, and it seems there are such reactions, even
with nickel, which is generally very stable.  I consulted the paper by
Hadjichristos et al. [1], and they mention seeing evidence of
transmutations to the following elements in their nickel gas phase system:
 Cu, Zn, Co, Fe, K, Ca, Li, Be and B.  The masses of some of these elements
are in the vicinity of nickel, and it's possible to get to a stable isotope
by way of a straightforward reaction.  The masses of some of the elements
are far smaller, and the pathway from nickel may either be by fission or
unlikely.

Here are some straightforward reactions:

Cu
  58Ni + p - 59Cu + 2.9 MeV (beta+ decay to 59Co)
  60Ni + p - 61Cu + 4.3 MeV
  62Ni + p - 63Cu + 5.6 MeV
  64Ni + p - 65Cu + 6.9 MeV

Zn
  58Ni + alpha - 62Zn + 3.396 MeV
  58Ni + 6Li - 62Zn + D + 1.895 MeV

Co
  See beta+ decay, above.

Fe
  59Ni + p - 56Fe + 3.8 MeV (59Ni is has a half-life of 76,000 years and
exists only in trace amounts)

The Fe reaction above requires a trace isotope of nickel, and I was not
able to find a path to a stable isotope of iron from a stable isotope of
nickel.  This further calls into question iron being a significant product
of any purported reaction with nickel, although, obviously, the iron must
be coming from somewhere; contamination is a possibility, of course.

The elements Ca, Li and Be in the list above might result from fission, or
alternatively, by being built up somehow.  With regard to fission from
nickel, I have little sense of whether this would be possible.  EXFOR does
provide reactions from nickel to these elements, but it does not mention
the other end products, so I wasn't able to calculate a mass balance. In
these instances I've just listed the reaction as it appears in EXFOR.

Ca
  28-NI-58(P,X)20-CA-42

Li
  28-NI-64(P,X)3-LI-7

Be
  28-NI-60(P,X)4-BE-7
  28-NI-64(P,X)4-BE-7

EXFOR does not provide information on any kind of reaction from nickel to
stable isotopes of boron or potassium, the last two elements in the list
from the Hadjichristos paper.  So perhaps these elements would need to come
about via other pathways.

Since the new isotopes that are seen in previous cold fusion experiments
are generally stable, my method here has been to omit reactions that
proceed from very short-lived isotopes of nickel or that result in
short-lived isotopes, so a number of reactions have not been considered.
 In addition, there were many reactions in which neutrons are a product,
but I have not considered these since neutrons are not detected.  There is
a table at the end of a note by Jacques Dufour [2] which leads me to think
that in the case of nickel proton capture reactions there would be no
radioisotopes lying around after the reaction to give off gammas; please
vet this conclusion, though.

The alpha decay reactions that I looked at for nickel proton capture were
not energetically favorable.  This could potentially explain why helium has
not yet been detected in nickel gas phase systems.  More generally, this
exercise was very interesting to do; I suspect that people's expectations
that Coulomb repulsion rules out any kind of proton capture in the systems
we're looking at has left us with a lack of knowledge of what would happen
under the influence of a large flux of (shielded) protons.  A Monte Carlo
simulation could be very fruitful here.

Note that the lack of correlation between heat and transmutation products
is a tentative finding of prior research on palladium systems,
specifically.  I don't think there's been enough study of the Ni-H systems
to draw a similar conclusion.  More generally, I wonder how solid the lack
of correlation in the palladium case is in this instance; it may be fairly
difficult to do this calculation in an experimental setting.  I would not
be surprised if the helium in palladium systems comes from alpha decay, for
example.

This is a good question.  I think you're saying that there are two ways to
get to proton capture in a nickel atom, for example, A and B.  Normally
Coulomb repulsion makes this difficult, perhaps on the order of keV (path
A).  I've been saying there's a path B in which it might not be all that
difficult because of shielding.  Where does the energy go that was needed
before and is not needed now -- I'm not sure.  I don't really know how to
balance the books in this instance.  Maybe the Rydberg state needed to
provide the kind of shielding implicit in the discussion up to now would go
well beyond the ionization potential of hydrogen, in which case you'd no
longer have a Rydberg atom.

Re: [Vo]:RSH in Electric Fields

2012-09-03 Thread David Roberson

You have generated an excellent list Eric which includes many reactions that I 
have been analyzing.  The latest demon run that I posted reduced my concerns a 
bit since it suggested that the barrier energy can be reclaimed after the 
fusion event has been initiated.  This might help explain some interesting 
possibilities.

First, the lowering of the barrier appears to be possible with screening by 
negative charges.  The same energy must be applied to get into the nucleus as 
before, but now that energy is temporarily borrowed from the shielding charges. 
 Once fusion has taken place, some of the released energy can repay the loan.  
After repayment the books tally because the same energy is required in net 
regardless of the mechanism.

The lack of path balance was a problem, but now there is an explanation.  My 
thought experiment also helps to explain why some of the reactions appear 
endothermic if insufficient energy is released to totally cover the coulomb 
barrier cost.  I am still struggling with this issue and might modify my 
thinking again in the near future!

What would be the proposed reactions so that we can look at these?




I just did a few calculations, and there are some promising reactions that 
would take place if we were able to shield the proton and significantly reduce 
the potential barrier to proton capture in nickel.


Apart from the Coulomb repulsion to be overcome, I think the important thing 
here would be to have an exothermic mass balance at the end. I did a little bit 
of rooting around, and it seems there are such reactions, even with nickel, 
which is generally very stable.  I consulted the paper by Hadjichristos et al. 
[1], and they mention seeing evidence of transmutations to the following 
elements in their nickel gas phase system:  Cu, Zn, Co, Fe, K, Ca, Li, Be and 
B.  The masses of some of these elements are in the vicinity of nickel, and 
it's possible to get to a stable isotope by way of a straightforward reaction.  
The masses of some of the elements are far smaller, and the pathway from nickel 
may either be by fission or unlikely.


Here are some straightforward reactions:


Cu
  58Ni + p - 59Cu + 2.9 MeV (beta+ decay to 59Co)
  60Ni + p - 61Cu + 4.3 MeV
  62Ni + p - 63Cu + 5.6 MeV
  64Ni + p - 65Cu + 6.9 MeV


Zn
  58Ni + alpha - 62Zn + 3.396 MeV
  58Ni + 6Li - 62Zn + D + 1.895 MeV


Co
  See beta+ decay, above.


Fe
  59Ni + p - 56Fe + 3.8 MeV (59Ni is has a half-life of 76,000 years and 
exists only in trace amounts)


The Fe reaction above requires a trace isotope of nickel, and I was not able to 
find a path to a stable isotope of iron from a stable isotope of nickel.  This 
further calls into question iron being a significant product of any purported 
reaction with nickel, although, obviously, the iron must be coming from 
somewhere; contamination is a possibility, of course.


The elements Ca, Li and Be in the list above might result from fission, or 
alternatively, by being built up somehow.  With regard to fission from nickel, 
I have little sense of whether this would be possible.  EXFOR does provide 
reactions from nickel to these elements, but it does not mention the other end 
products, so I wasn't able to calculate a mass balance. In these instances I've 
just listed the reaction as it appears in EXFOR.


Ca
  28-NI-58(P,X)20-CA-42


Li
  28-NI-64(P,X)3-LI-7


Be
  28-NI-60(P,X)4-BE-7
  28-NI-64(P,X)4-BE-7


EXFOR does not provide information on any kind of reaction from nickel to 
stable isotopes of boron or potassium, the last two elements in the list from 
the Hadjichristos paper.  So perhaps these elements would need to come about 
via other pathways.


Since the new isotopes that are seen in previous cold fusion experiments are 
generally stable, my method here has been to omit reactions that proceed from 
very short-lived isotopes of nickel or that result in short-lived isotopes, so 
a number of reactions have not been considered.  In addition, there were many 
reactions in which neutrons are a product, but I have not considered these 
since neutrons are not detected.  There is a table at the end of a note by 
Jacques Dufour [2] which leads me to think that in the case of nickel proton 
capture reactions there would be no radioisotopes lying around after the 
reaction to give off gammas; please vet this conclusion, though.


The alpha decay reactions that I looked at for nickel proton capture were not 
energetically

Re: [Vo]:RSH in Electric Fields

2012-09-03 Thread David Roberson

Eric, my last response hints at a way to balance the energy books.  My strange 
thought experiment suggests that the energy required to penetrate the coulomb 
barrier is the same with borrowed help coming from the shielding electrons.  
The shielding could effectively lower the barrier significantly but must be 
reclaimed.

If you choose path A, then the full barrier must be breached by the energy that 
can be imparted upon the proton.

If path B is used, then a large portion of the barrier energy can be supplied 
by the shielding charges.  This energy needs to be repaid by the fusion release.

Therefore, the net energy released into the system is the same independent of 
path.

The only conflict is the mention of a period of time during which the electron 
is in the near position.  If we assume that there is merely a probability that 
it is near the proton, then the shielding is not very good since that 
probability must be low compared to all the other possible locations.  I think 
we need for the actual electron to be located in real time near the proton for 
the trick neutron to be effective.  Only by actually being local to the proton 
will the coulomb barrier be significantly reduced.

If Heisenberg maintains that we can not observe the electron in its orbital, 
but that it actually does follow some path in time then we are good.  It has 
always been my understanding that one can not define the electron orbit in time 
with QM.  Am I wrong here?

Same to you fellow...happy Labor less day!

If you think we have been under fire from the Physics community during the 
recent period, just keep up the talk of throwing out their favorite bath water 
baby.  There will be few places to hide!

We are just kidding...honest!

Dave,

I see them as tools.  If you don't like using a wrench, use pliars and many
times you can solve the problem.

 LOL!  Yeah, we call it LENR.  :-)

 I do not know; but, you put a bunch of these under the influence of a
 broken lattice . . .

 As Ruby Carat's stickers say, The Heat is On.

 I was trying to help DGT improve their process:

 I found their response, er, curious.

It is apparent that the oblong shape would result in a strong dipole behavior 
provided that that nucleus is not in the center.  The references that have been 
suggested all show the nucleus of the atom as located at one foci.  I must 
admit that I do not understand why the orbit must change from a spherical one 
to a oblong one at the high energy levels.

It would seem that a spherical obit would be capable of existing; even being 
more likely than a non spherical one.  Is this a prediction of QM?

When I think of the case in which a couple of protons are in proximity I have 
the gut feeling that any electrons that might have been associated with one of 
the single protons become tangled up with the system of two protons.  I find it 
difficult to think of the second charged nucleus not getting into the act so to 
speak.

What is the final result of having a hydrogen atom come into contact with a 
free proton in space?  Does the electron begin to orbit both protons at that 
time?  Does the combination result in a symmetrical spatial arrangement?

2012-09-02 Thread David Roberson

It would be ideal if the pseudo neutron can be formed which would then 
penetrate the nucleus but I am afraid that the energy equations would not 
balance.  If there are two different paths to the same ultimate result, they 
should release the same net energy.

What would be the proposed reactions so that we can look at these?
