[Vo]:E-Cat explained by Yeong E. Kim, prof. physics at Pardue Uni.
The preprint is out and he refers to the january and march's demonstration: http://www.physics.purdue.edu/people/faculty/yekim/BECNF-Ni-Hydrogen.pdf It was announced on July 4th on this post, http://www.journal-of-nuclear-physics.com/?p=497cpage=14#comment-50600, but it wasn't available at the time.

The James Webb Space Telescope scientists could form a public service corporation to be owned democratically by shareholders who buy stock and bonds, to get 10% yearly dividends from ads running on every Net site that shares the photos and data worldwide for free, and reasonably priced income from profit-making firms and persons who do research and make and sell books, media, and feature movies and advertisements that use the photos...

[Vo]:Defkalion closes forum
Here a notice at the Defkalion forum: Due to an overload in traffic and a bottleneck in moderating discussions, Defkalion Green Technologies has decided to temporarily freeze this Forum’s operation until further notice. All comments have been welcomed. We thank you all for your participation. For those with an interest to collaborate with Defkalion Green Technologies on international sales, RD and for HR purposes, please use our ‘Contact Us’ page on this website. I have had constant timeout problems trying to access it. I thought it was a dumb idea for them to have a forum in the first place. They should have just uploaded the information that their moderator has provided, in a single organized document. A forum to discuss the technology should be independent of the company, as this forum is. The problem here is broken servers and people in jail. - Jed

[Vo]:The great oil sniffer hoax
Here is a technological hoax that bamboozled $150 million from high officials in oil companies and governments. I did not realize such large, high-level hoaxes existed: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Oil_Sniffer_Hoax A skeptic suggested to me that Defkalion might be something like this. I doubt it. I do not think anything in cold fusion resembles this. The closest thing to it is plasma fusion, such as the ITER project, which most outside experts think has no chance of technological or commercial success. However, the experimental results from plasma fusion are real, beyond question. - Jed

This sentence seems to have more in common with Rossi than with ITER: Bonassoli attempted to deflect all criticism by stating that the entire secret of the device was one key component, which was locked in a box that he refused to open. Whatever ITER's prospects for engineering success are, the science is open, undisputed, and well-understood.

RE: [Vo]:Purdue paper Bose-Einstein Condensation Nuclear Fusion
Alan, Fran - The boson (BEC) theories for LENR have been around for twenty years, and it is not clear who was first; but the devil is in the details. I think professor Kim got several important details wrong, but still he has added to a higher level of understanding. Hagelstein was the first to propose one version of the BEC concept IIRC. Fran is probably correct that Casimir cavities are important in the Rossi effect - and even in the more general BEC effect since composite bosons of protons are only available as a transitory phenomenon of paired protons at close distance under compression. The compreture scale at close confinement provides virtual cryogenic conditions and an effective temperature which can go below absolute zero. This relates to why there is a continuing need to maintain a triggering temperature from outside the local reactants. From there on - the important paper is by Nyman. Everyone is overlooking Nyman's explanation of how quark alignment trumps electrostatic charge repulsion. I will try to dig this detail out of an old post - and repost it over the weekend. But the main thing Kim is completely wrong about - IMO - is trying to shoehorn Rossi into *known nuclear reactions*. Big mistake. This is not necessary at all, especially when the average mass-energy for the proton in understood to represents a range of values. Let's say the known mass of the proton in the standard model is 938.272013 MeV. However, I have argued that this is really an average mass based on whatever the most advanced current measurement technique is being employed - and that this can vary all over the place in individual protons, since the quark component of protons is the only component which is fixed with a quantum value. Quarks are a small proportion of the proton mass, and this is the detail that everyone seems to overlook: there a range of expendable mass-energy of the non-quark remainder (pion, gluon, etc) - which is extractable as the 'gain' seen in the Rossi effect, and this gain can be replenished via the zero point field (bringing the average mass of the proton back up). Perhaps the proton net mass can go down to say - 937 MeV, for instance, on a temporary basis, and with a decent amount of energy release - and thereafter this deficit is recouped. We do not need to specify how it is recouped (regauged), but the route is surely encompassed in one of the definitions of ZPE (i.e. Dirac's negative energy 'sea'). No permanent transmutation is necessary to derive this kind of 'hidden' nuclear energy, and that ties Rossi (and Mills) into the Casimir force. Unfortunately, this is the 'simplified' version and difficult to recite from memory.

Re: [Vo]:Purdue paper Bose-Einstein Condensation Nuclear Fusion
FWIW, I sometimes get the sense that Fran’s theory might come the closest to explaining what my unorthodox source the “Witch Doctor” files would seem to suggest might be going on with Rossi's eCats. However, I hasten to add that this is just speculation on my part. One thing for sure, I wish I understood Fran’s theory better. :-( Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
