Re: [Vo]:The hydrogen s-orbital and the problem of muonic hydrogen

Does anyone know how (or if) in theory the proton's radius would
effect rates of fusion?
Would the proton have to be larger or smaller to increase rates of fusion?

A smaller charge radius means less coulomb repulsion.

When enough electrons shield enough positive charge from the proton, two
protons will bind together in a pair; coulomb repulsion is neutralized.

This is the basis for the Shukla,-Eliasson effect.

http://www.google.com/url?sa=trct=jq=esrc=sfrm=1source=webcd=6sqi=2ved=0CD8QFjAFurl=http%3A%2F%2Farxiv.org%2Fpdf%2F1209.0914ei=OSBQUO6SJKnF0AH5uoG4CAusg=AFQjCNHGAqMvSJxjgufVpRf7kYFcJtBBIwsig2=8fhHq-SEQvQCAJKvWP4j2A

What shields the charge of the proton is unclear. It can’t be the charge,
because the electron can approach very close to the proton without coulomb
repulsion cancelation.

But the muon shields the protons charge more than the electron.

Could it be that the mass of the negative particle(s) must be increased to
have increased shielding effects?

It could be. Heavy (more energetic) electrons provide more shielding
effects than do lighter (less energetic) ones at ground state.
The trick to LENR might be not to ionize it into plasma but to pack as many
electrons into hydrogen as possible.

Rossi's reactor has high numbers of electrons packed inside; so many that
they can be removed as a high powered current.

DGT uses a spark to pack heavy electrons into their reactor.

These extra electrons will be energetic and heavy because of the Pauli
Exclusion Principle where no two identical fermions (particles with
half-integer spin) may occupy the same quantum state simultaneously. The
only place that these extra electrons can go is up in energy.

These heavy electrons will have a high frequency.

A heavy electron(s) may approach the mass of a muon.

It might be the mass that is the key to this conundrum.

  We've already gone over the new Science paper on muonic hydrogen

  here.  According to a summary of the Science article in Ars Technica [1],
  the problem I alluded to in the title is that the charge radius of the
  proton has been measured very accurately to be both 0.84fm and 0.88fm.
  This
  would not be a big deal if the accuracy of the measurements allowed both
 of
  these values.  But the measurements are extremely accurate, and
  incompatible, unless there is something unexplained going on.
 
  The comment by Gerrit in E-Cat World elaborates [2]:
 
  Have we discussed the recent finding of the shrunken proton yet ?
 
  The proton in muonic hydrogen is 4% smaller that normal hydrogen. They
  cannot explain it with current understanding, yet the new measurements
 are
  very high accuracy.
 
 
 http://arstechnica.com/science/2013/01/hydrogen-made-with-muons-reveals-proton-size-conundrum/
 
  “The proton structure is important because an electron in an S [ground]
  state has a nonzero probability to be inside the proton.”
 
  Oh wait a minute, if the electron is inside the proton, doesn’t the whole
  structure look like a neutron, ie it won’t see a coulomb barrier and can
  fuse with another hydrogen at will ?
 
  The next question that “established” science should target is measuring
 the
  proton size of a hydrogen in a metal lattice.
 
  I think it is inevitable that “established” science will eventually
 stumble
  over the same phenomenon that has been shown to exists for over 23 years.
 
  In a few years we’ll probably be hearing “Well, with the current
  understanding of physics we can no longer claim that Fleischmann and Pons
  were wrong”
 
 
  So it seems that under certain conditions, physicists are measuring
  something vaguely like Mills's fractional hydrogen -- it might be that
 it is
  Mills's fractional hydrogen, or it might be something entirely different.
  Gerrit asks whether you could get screening, e.g., sufficient to lead to
 the
  anomalous behavior in metal hydrides we've been following here, from
  whatever it is that is going on.  The Ars Technica article ends with this
  interesting comment: The one option they [the research team] seem to
 like
  is the existence of relatively light force carriers that somehow remained
  undiscovered until now.  New force carriers is an interesting thought.
  Would that imply a heretofore unknown interaction?

That is a general point about how governments manage transition.
They want to protect jobs, and existing industries, not to help things to
change to a better point.

as i repeat often it is well explained in the Next convergence as the big
problems with governments.
Laisser-faire and saving jobs are opposite version of the same bad decision.

the good one is to help the transition by investing in asset that are too
longterm for the private sector, and to help workforec to survive during
the (short) unemployment period, then train them so they can move (quickly)
to the new industry/economy...

it is very hard where the politic system is a demagogy.

for the army, remoiving the huge waste would allow much more effcient army
and strongest action...
In france when you want to remove on barack campus, all the local
authorities panic because ther is (still) nothing to replace...
not so different from what happens when you shutdown a big industry in a
place where it it have no more reason to exist...

we shoul help people to move, instead of preventing them to move. in france
the problems are well identified (real-estate, taxes, work laws) and not at
all corrected, to protect incumbent, mouse in the cheese,  and other
economic rent.

for US army, note that big par of Army budget is in fact subsidies hidden
from WTO.
Free market in US is a myth.

 Yes, Mark, this would be the best place to start. But jobs will be lost,
 the only issue is which jobs.  Congress does not want to cut any jobs
 because these are voters.  They only want to cut things that will piss off
 the fewest number of people who vote. The poor do not vote so they are fair
 game.  Of course, a combination of increased taxes especially at the high
 end and careful cuts over a period of time would be the way to go. But as
 you note - fat chance.

Jones, 

I don't think your leap of faith is restricted to [snip]reversible fusion
is slightly energetic [/snip] but rather that the cavity environment or NAE
is the energetic source where any 2 body relationship established at one
geometry can experience a discount toward disassociation when accomplished
at a different geometry. It establishes a linkage between the moving 2
bodies and the sharply serrated fields established by changes in Casimir
geometry. The geometry only has to accelerate or decelerate one body
relative to the other in an unbalanced manner to accomplish a discount. At
the most active geometry Casimir force trumps our square law isotropy and
whenever that geometry changes you get breaks or serrations in the isotropy
as the rules that limit these changes in value [square law vs Casimir
formula] come in conflict with each other. Naudt's paper on relativistic
hydrogen would hold that these bodies are unaware of their condition and
their underlying motive force is therefore still provided for by normal gas
laws such that no external energy has to be provided to load or transport
said bodies into lattice or between geometries. My posit is that these
changes in inertial frames are accomplished freely, easily and much more
rapidly via Casimir suppression than the relativistic effects we are more
accustomed to which require velocities in a Pythagorean relationship with C
or a very deep gravity Well.

Like all subjects, some people understand and are generally basically

does matter whom you believe since we as individuals cannot master

word is invisible to most people until the crash comes and they have  
lost everything, as millions have done during the latest collapse. The  
next shoe is about to drop and it will be much worse according to the  
same people who predicted the last collapse.


Do not believe anything the government says or anything you hear from

Hi Frank,

Thanks for a copy of your book. I'm part way through and find it very  
interesting.


As to your question, a financial collapse always affects different  
people different ways depending where they live and their personal  
financial situation. Generally, a skilled person who uses common sense  
will do much better than other people. So, giving personal advice is  
hard. I can only suggest guide lines that I attempt to follow.


The process will have two stages, an acute stage during which basic  
services may be affected in a few areas and a chronic stage during  
which the suffering will spread to almost everyone. The acute stage  
was avoided last time in 2008 while the chronic stage continues.  The  
acute state was avoid by pumping a huge amount of money into the  
system by the Federal Reserve. This process continues and will fuel  
the next collapse.  The government is trying to lessen the effects of  
the chronic phase but the Republicans are resisting this effort in  
favor of protecting the wealthy who are not affected by the process.   
So, the rest of us are on our own.


So, what should an individual do? First, pay off all debt and take on  
no more. Buy gold and silver (I favor high quality coins) as a hedge  
against inflation and have cash in your home in case your bank has to  
close for awhile.  Save every cent you can and buy nothing that is not  
essential.  Learn how to invest your own savings in an IRA or personal  
account using internet trading. This tool is an amazing gift of the  
modern age that can allow a person of knowledge to avoid the worst of  
the collapse.  In any case, sell any bond funds you have. If you can,  
move to a place where you can count on protection and access to basic  
services.  And finally, do not worry - no event is as bad as it can be  
imagined.


Sorry if this is too personal and off topic. Hopefully this advice is  
of interest to other people.

RE: [Vo]:100% conversion of heat to electricity with thermophotovoltaics

2013-01-27 Thread Jones Beene
David,

 

You are possibly misreading this article. It is poorly written to begin with.

 

Carnot efficiency affects all heat engines in a similar way. 

 

Moreover, it is a basic limitation which deducts “off the top” so all other 
inefficiencies deduct from the lower number.

 

 

From: David Jonsson 

 

Hi

I have imagined using thermophotovoltaics to produce a highly efficient 
conversion from heat to electricity.

Imagine having a heat source in a very thermally well insulated container. In 
the same container there is a thermophotovoltaic cell converting the heat 
radiation into electricity.

Wouldn't a cell like that be very efficient? What stops it from being 100 % 
efficient, or having its efficiency reduced only by leaks in the thermal 
insulation?

Even if the Carnot efficiency 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermophotovoltaic#Efficiency

is low it doesn't affect the total efficiency. The emitter will always be 
hotter than the converter, since the converter converts some of the heat 
radiation. There will always be some efficiency. Increase of dark current, as 
Wikipedia mentions as a reason for efficiency decrease at higher temperature, 
should be the same in both directions in the converter and could not lower 
efficiency.

Either efficiency could be higher or the explanations of the efficiency 
lowering effects are wrong.

 

Best would be to build a device and see what will happen. 

 

David

[Vo]:excess power as either anomolous heating or cooling

2013-01-27 Thread Harry Veeder
The MFMP results are not looking very good at the moment as excess
heat appears to be marginal or non-existent. However, the data now
suggest the possibility of some slight anomalous cooling effect. I
don't know if this cooling is real or the result some minor
calibration error, but it raises the question of how we estimate
excess power.

Although we tend to associate excess power with anomalous heating, it
seems to me that a system can exhibit excess power (or over unity)
through either persistent anomalous cooling  or persistent anomalous
heating . But what if the system oscillates between periods of
anomalous cooling and anomalous heating? Simply taking a time average
would make the excess power appear to be much less or even
non-existent.

Thanks Mark. Their view of reality differs significantly from what the
people I read describe. I tend to believe my people because they
predicted the 2008 collapse while Krugman did not.  In fact the
difference is frightening similar to that earlier. Krugman sees no
problem with the status quo while the people I read are in a panic.  I
expect we will have to wait and see who is right once again and then
pick up the pieces afterward.  Perhaps if Krugman et al. are wrong
again, they can be ignored next time.

On Jan 27, 2013, at 12:13 PM, Mark Goldes wrote:

 Ed, Here is a clear answer regarding the deficit that recently
 appeared in a Krugman column in the NY Times

 Mr. Obama’s clearly deliberate neglect of Washington’s favorite
 obsession was just the latest sign that the self-styled deficit
 hawks — better described as deficit scolds — are losing their hold
 over political discourse. And that’s a very good thing.

 Why have the deficit scolds lost their grip? I’d suggest four
 interrelated reasons.

 First, they have cried wolf too many times. They’ve spent three
 years warning of imminent crisis — if we don’t slash the deficit now
 now now, we’ll turn into Greece, Greece, I tell you. It is, for
 example, almost two years since Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles
 declared that we should expect a fiscal crisis within, um, two years.

 But that crisis keeps not happening. The still-depressed economy has
 kept interest rates at near-record lows despite large government
 borrowing, just as Keynesian economists predicted all along. So the
 credibility of the scolds has taken an understandable, and well-
 deserved, hit.

 Second, both deficits and public spending as a share of G.D.P. have
 started to decline — again, just as those who never bought into the
 deficit hysteria predicted all along.

 The truth is that the budget deficits of the past four years were
 mainly a temporary consequence of the financial crisis, which sent
 the economy into a tailspin — and which, therefore, led both to low
 tax receipts and to a rise in unemployment benefits and other
 government expenses. It should have been obvious that the deficit
 would come down as the economy recovered. But this point was hard to
 get across until deficit reduction started appearing in the data.

 Now it has — and reasonable forecasts, like those of Jan Hatzius of
 Goldman Sachs, suggest that the federal deficit will be below 3
 percent of G.D.P., a not very scary number, by 2015.

 And it was, in fact, a good thing that the deficit was allowed to
 rise as the economy slumped. With private spending plunging as the
 housing bubble popped and cash-strapped families cut back, the
 willingness of the government to keep spending was one of the main
 reasons we didn’t experience a full replay of the Great Depression.
 Which brings me to the third reason the deficit scolds have lost
 influence: the contrary doctrine, the claim that we need to practice
 fiscal austerity even in a depressed economy, has failed decisively
 in practice.

 Consider, in particular, the case of Britain. In 2010, when the new
 government of Prime Minister David Cameron turned to austerity
 policies, it received fulsome praise from many people on this side
 of the Atlantic. For example, the late David Broder urged President
 Obama to “do a Cameron”; he particularly commended Mr. Cameron for
 “brushing aside the warnings of economists that the sudden, severe
 medicine could cut short Britain’s economic recovery and throw the
 nation back into recession.”

 Sure enough, the sudden, severe medicine cut short Britain’s
 economic recovery, and threw the nation back into recession.

 At this point, then, it’s clear that the deficit-scold movement was
 based on bad economic analysis. But that’s not all: there was also
 clearly a lot of bad faith involved, as the scolds tried to exploit
 an economic (not fiscal) crisis on behalf of a political agenda that
 had nothing to do with deficits. And the growing transparency of
 that agenda is the fourth reason the deficit scolds have lost their
 clout.

Re: [Vo]:excess power as either anomolous heating or cooling

2013-01-27 Thread Jouni Valkonen
I would say with 99.98 % confidence that anomalous cooling hints to the 
calibration error of instruments. There should not be any doubts for that.

Cooling and going against the second law of thermodynamics, however is not that 
particularly surprising. Entropy decreased at large scale when the universe was 
just three seconds old. The primordial nucleosynthesis compressed huge amount 
of energy into protons and alpha particles. This caused entropy to decrease in 
isolated system. Also in supernovae explosions, entropy decreases when energy 
is trapped into atoms heavier than Ni-62. 

Hydrino formation goes also against the second law of thermodynamics and it 
causes thus the cooling of isolated system, because hydrinos are stable. 
However as I know that Mills' theory is wrong at fundamental level, this does 
not do as an explanation. However, hydrinos are interesting thought 
experiments, because it is trivial to envision logical conditions where the 
classical second law of thermodynamics will fail in isolated system.

Is this then yet another failure for cold fusion, or is it still too early to 
tell?

heat instead of producing it.  This is an important clue to understanding
