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.

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. Now, to the

(c) Put metal nanoparticles in 4He and see what happens. 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)

[Vo]:RSH in Electric Fields
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.

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? 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.

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
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!

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
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.

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.

I guess I was not aware of this situation Terry. Does this agree with quantum mechanics? I think that they assume that the electron is in every location all of the time unless measured.

Re: [Vo]:RSH in Electric Fields
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?

Re: [Vo]:RSH in Electric Fields
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?
