No the LFTR passive control to which I refer is the fact that when the power load on the reactor lowers, the temperature rises in the liquid fluoride thorium salt which, in turn, causes it to expand. Since the salt is at critical mass, any expansion takes it below criticality which nonlinearly low

I understand what you mean Robin. It does seem strange that the force can originate in a field where the momentum must be shared. In the cases I used for my thought experiments the source is so far removed that it is apparent that the action occurs long before a signal can reach the source pa

The surface area of the powder is important, but it may be the magnetic nature of the nickel that is a critical factor in LENR. When the temperature of nickel exceeds its curie temperature, the global magnetic property of the metal breaks down by heat induced formation of nano-scopic areas of magn

Axil, I think the frequency of the light is a property of the fractional state but the plasmon resonance is causing larger and larger populations of fractional molecules to disassociate and recombine in the cavity, the end effect on measurement devices that average the spectrum from the bulk gas
