I see… My conceptual framework is different. Here is what I believe… The NiH reaction is based on extensive dipole oscillations. This implies that the atoms are mostly striped of electrons and are all all highly polarized. The holes (ions) are all grouped on the + side of the micro particle and th

Thanks Jed, I should have posed my question a little better. My thought was along the lines of taking a known hot fusion case where the gamma radiation would be extreme and work the way downwards in temperature. We realize that the normal argument of the hot fusion crowd is that the rate of

Another article on proton spin http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/2014/jul/11/gluons-get-in-on-proton-spin For a quarter of a century, physicists have faced a paradox regarding the net spin of protons and neutrons – the spin of their constituent quarks accounts for only a small fraction of

When I take a step back I realize that it appears like a miracle for the energy to always come out in small fractions of the total available. I have to ask whether or not this unusual situation may be related to the conditions upon which the reaction occurs. Is anyone aware of an experiment th

Reiterating: In the NIH reactor, all the Nuclear active sites(NAE) are entangled. The are many of them: millions, maybe billions. These entangles sites form a super atom where each site shares a fraction of each reaction's energy based on the number of NAEs. The fraction of energy sharing goes as

Jones, I would expect the energy transfer to be in both directions. The big question we are seeking an answer to is whether or not the energy difference steps are much smaller than the full amount released by the reaction. I think Bob is hoping that energy can be taken away in smaller chunks

The H/D exchange reaction is similar to a form of phase-change, and a preferential reordering of a loaded metal matrix, and it can be seen in the usual one-way form (conservative) or as sequential (a thermal anomaly). It is surprisingly energetic but is chemical – non-nuclear. OK, that do

Since we are trying to cover all of the bases in looking closely at the (extremely important) Cravens NI-Week experiment, and since we have talked from time to time about the known route for chemical thermal gain, which can be called “H/D exchange” – then lets refocus on that route. It would be
