The data come from many places. First, the library LENR experimental data
accumulated over the last 25 years in Jed's collection, Next, other data
that should be added to Jed's collection, then there is the experimentation
done that is directly applicable to LENR which is most recently done but
not limited to these selected fields: nano technology, nanoplasmonics,
quantum optics, nano optics, quantum mechanics, condensed matter physics,
chemistry, solid state physics, the standard modal, Rossi's revelations,
DGT published data, and the other developers of LENR+ systems.

For example, To understand what is going on inside a NAE is interesting. To
that goal, I am interested in how polaritons can produce a large anaopole
magnetic field from a hot spot all the while frequency mixing of incoming
EMF  frequencies are going on.

Let us discuss this reference:

Half-solitons in a polariton quantum fluid behave like magnetic monopoles

Read it and give me your opinion as to its applicability to LENR+

If Mills discloses he deserves credit for that.

By discloses I mean what the patent office means:  Provides sufficient

beneficial use independent of the inventor.

You've seen his recent patent application. Even at 325 pages - does it disclose 
anything that the other patents relating to electrical discharge through water 
have missed?

Or is it designed to deceive - which seems to be the consensus here on 
Vortex, when we discussed this patent application earlier.

There are well over 2 million hits on google relating to patents for electrical 
discharge through water. Where is the novelty in Mills?

... other than, of course, the bald claim that the discharge is not really 
through water nor through HHO but is through Mills version in which one of the 
hydrogen atoms is in a reduced orbital making it more of a catalyst... and even 
then, Mills has not shown that the HHO species of prior art does not, in fact, 
conform identically to his version.

I feel sorry for the BLP attorneys. They have surely told him that theories are 
not patentable no matter how great they are. I doubt if the attorneys are as 
incompetent as this application suggests. Most likely they were ordered to do 
the impossible: which is to try to patent a device which has been known in 
prior art for decades.

That is really the crux of the Nickel hydrogen analysis. Rossi/Forcardi 
originally proposed a reaction in which substantial gammas should have been 
witnessed at 10 kW of thermal release. The original lead shielding (in the 
first demo) was indicative of his belief that there were gamma and he hired an 
expert for testing at that demo. 

 

Things changed. Note that of late, Rossi’s own comments (to JoNP) show that he 
is no longer pushing the transmutation of nickel to copper, and has doubts 
about any theory. In fact, we know that Ni - Cu cannot be the prime reaction 
for the reasons which have been hashed and rehashed- particularly, the lack of 
radioactive ash.

 

Jones wants to say that there is no penetrating radiation whatsoever in NiH.  
He no doubt has his reversible proton fusion in mind.  

 

Well, yes - the RPF reversible proton fusion suggestion (diproton reaction) 
only came into play as a last resort – and it was chosen as the “one and only” 
well-known nuclear reaction in all of physics which did not produce gammas. 
Problem is, of course, it only happens on the sun; and QCD, which would 
describe the level of exotherm (it is a strong force reaction) is not my field 
of expertise. I have been attempting to partner with an expert in QCD on this 
theory, but of course, most of them are negative on LENR to begin with and do 
not want to have their name associated with Rossi. That will change very soon.

 

Ed wants to say that what low-level radiation there is above a very low

hydroton in mind.  I've argued that the evidence bears otherwise on both

inherent to NiH cold fusion and not due to a side channel.  

 

The problem with any suggestion including Ed’s, which does not exclude gamma 
radiation from the start (ab initio) which is to say - by the nature of the 
reaction itself – can be called “leakage.” In all reactions in physics where 
gammas can witnessed, they will be witnessed. There are no exceptions. Gammas 
are highly penetrating, and even1% leakage stands out like a sore thumb. 
Actually even one part per billion would stand out like a sore thumb.

 

I do not mind belaboring the main point - that to adequately explain Rossi’s 
results, if Rossi is for real - we must backtrack in order find a gammaless 
starting point. This is due to the excellent gamma study by Bianchini who, with 
top notch instrumentation, could not find any gammas over hours of study at 
high thermal release, with his probes place under the original lead shielding. 
HE FOUND NONE - essentially a background level. The importance of “none” 
instead of a few, cannot be overemphasized. The underlying reaction must be 
gammaless.

 

It is not sufficient to suggest that gammas are formed and suppressed. 
“Leakage” prevents that suggestion. There are no gammas in the Rossi reactor 
during operation and the ones seen at startup can be easily explained as 
external. 

 

Things could be different for other reactions like Pd-D, but for now, we are 
only concerned with an analysis of the Rossi reaction, in this thread.

Re: [Vo]:a note from Dr. Stoyan Sargoytchev

The cold fusion reaction must be the same for all systems if we look deep
enough. LeClair reports gamma radiation in cavitation and so does
Piantelliin a nickel bar system. Both these systems are cold systems,
Piantelli reports gammas when his system is very cold only. Rossi says that
his early systems produced gammas.

The bottom line, the basic cold fusion process does not always exclude the
production of gammas.

There may be no evidence for this, but it seems likely based on what
McKubre calls the conservation of miracles. That is to say, it is not
likely that there are many different, totally unrelated, heretofore
undiscovered ways to generate nuclear reactions in a metal lattice. It seem
intuitively likely that all of these methods are somehow related at some
level. That is not to say they all work the exact same way for all metals
and for both hydrogen and deuterium.

You can compare this to combustion, which works differently with different
materials. Sometimes it produces smoke; sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it
is rapid in an explosion, sometimes slow. As Chris Tinsley often pointed
out, taking a broader view, you can even say that metabolism is a form of
combustion. Both processes start with the same chemicals and produce the
same products, which means they produce the same amount of energy per gram
of reactant. They are different in many ways but fundamentally the same. As
is rusting or any other oxidation, I suppose.

Re: [Vo]:a note from Dr. Stoyan Sargoytchev

As you expected, I disagree strongly with this conclusion, Jones. All  
of the behavior flows from a single process. The fusion reaction of  
all isotopes of hydrogen provides the heat energy and fuels the  
transmutation reactions, of which there are two consequences depending  
on the isotope of hydrogen used. Do you really think that Nature has  
many ways of doing something so rare and novel that is seen only now  
as LENR? Unfortunately, it will take a long book to explain what is so  
simple once it is accepted and understood, rather like all new  
discoveries.

But the near-paradise would come at a cost to visitors from Earth: the

At least the NBA would be more fair.  Also, if the increase in gravity is

 suppression of MeV-range gammas.  Like you say, this sounds pretty far-out.
  Better not to have powerful gammas in the first place.  What is more
 interesting in the recent discussion is whether p+Ni fusion is ruled out by
 the evidence, and that has been what has absorbed a lot of our attention.
  If low-level penetrating radiation is not allowed (e.g., photons in the
 keV range, some of which might be considered gammas), then p+Ni is
 contraindicated, because everything we know about p+Ni says that it will
 result in short-lived radioisotopes and associated emissions after it takes
 place, for a period of hours or days.  If low-level radiation is allowed,
 then p+Ni is not necessarily ruled out.  That is the heart of much of the
 recent thread.

 Jones wants to say that there is no penetrating radiation whatsoever in
 NiH.  He no doubt has his reversible proton fusion in mind.  Ed wants to
 say that what low-level radiation there is above a very low threshold is
 due to side channels (if I have understood him).  He has his hydroton in
 mind.  I've argued that the evidence bears otherwise on both counts, and
 that low-level penetrating radiation is both seen and is perhaps inherent
 to NiH cold fusion and not due to a side channel.  Although this discussion
 might look like the usual discussion about MeV gammas, really it has been a
 discussion about short-lived radioisotopes that follow upon whatever it is
 that cold fusion consists of.  So we've been having a discussion that is
 different than the usual gamma discussion.  Rossi's terminology confuses
 things, because he appears to refer to all photons in his system as gammas.

find a gammaless starting point. This is due to the excellent gamma

find any gammas over hours of study at high thermal release, with  
his probes place under the original lead shielding. HE FOUND NONE -  
essentially a background level. The importance of “none” instead of  
a few, cannot be overemphasized. The underlying reaction must be

That is where things get really interesting.  Things did change, and by the
time we get to Bianchini's report, given in connection with the Elforsk
test, no gammas were seen.  I do not recall what the threshold were set
to for his measuring device, or even what type of device he used (e.g., GM
counter, NaI scintillation counter, etc.).  But whatever it was, I don't
recall him measuring anything above ambient.

There are two points to be made in this connection.  The first is that
Rossi has mentioned using 62Ni and 64Ni.  I long thought the explanation
for this was that these two isotopes are more reactive (although I didn't
necessarily buy this explanation).  I now suspect that that's not why
they're being used at all.  Instead, these isotopes after proton capture go
to stable isotopes of copper -- 63Cu and 65Cu.  In these two isotopes,
there is no beta-plus decay and no beta-minus decay.  That means, in
particular, no 511 keV annihilation photons for the beta-plus decays, which
would occur in huge quantities in a vigorous reaction with unenriched
nickel.  Remember when Rossi had all of the people evacuate the room during
one of his demos?

A second point to make is that a careful distinction must be made between
(1) the missing gamma that would normally occur during a nickel proton
capture reaction and (2) all of the activity that would happen after doing
a run with unenriched nickel.  It seems that (1) is simply not an issue,
whatever is going on.  My supposition is that (2) is relevant and that it
has been brought under control, possibly through improvements in the
enrichment process.  Here it is easy to confuse ourselves by using the term
gamma loosely -- there's low-level penetrating radiation, and there are
the high-energy photons that are often seen as one of the daughters of a
nickel proton capture reaction.  I'm saying that it would seem that
low-level penetrating radiation is both seen and expected in an NiH
reaction with unenriched nickel, and that the nuclear-origin gammas are not.


 The problem with any suggestion including Ed’s, which does not exclude
 gamma radiation from the start (ab initio) which is to say - by the nature

 exceptions. Gammas are highly penetrating, and even1% leakage stands out
 like a sore thumb. Actually even one part per billion would stand out like
 a sore thumb.


This is an important point to be a stickler about, and you're right to
emphasize it.  It was also made in connection with neutrons in the WL
description -- if there's any significant leakage at all of gammas in a kW
reaction, bystanders are going to be in great danger.  So I think that's an
important gating factor -- aside from a few blips here and there, an
explanation should not involve any gammas (of type 1, above, and not
lower-energy penetrating radiation of type 2).  I don't think the
explanation I've been playing around with suffers from any issues on this
count -- I've sort of taken a phenomenological approach, effectively
defining away the problem of high-energy gammas, on the assumption that the
hidden mechanism (perhaps relating to electrons) will eventually be
understood.  It's a cop-out, but only sort-of.


  Things could be different for other reactions like Pd-D, but for now, we
 are only concerned with an analysis of the Rossi reaction, in this thread.


Yes -- I get the sense that things are different between NiH and PdD in at
least one important respect.  If there is proton capture in p+Ni (there
might or might not be, although I think there probably is, at least as one
reaction among several), there does not appear to be a corresponding
deuteron capture reaction in PdD.  A d+Pd reaction appears to be
energetically unfavorable.  So for reasons that go back to the constituent
reactants, you might see a lot of activity in NiH with unenriched nickel,
and relatively little activity in a typical PdD experiment.

I think this will be relevant for Storms theory and radiation. 

The
reactions H+e+H or D+e+D in hydrons will take long time for a nuclear
reaction. 

The energy is released as a sequence of many photons. 

And
the reaction is greatly dependent on the environment. 

There may be
some events in the metal how may destroy the NAE and interrupt ongoing
nuclear reactions. 

If the hydrogen pair already have released some
energy the reaction may it not go back. Instead it will realise

Good point Torulf. I believe the environment is important to make  
the Hydroton, but once made it will complete its task regardless of  
the environment. Nevertheless, many sources of energetic radiation  
can be proposed without having to use the Hydroton.  If materials  
are subjected to sufficient local energy, normal nuclear reactions  
will result. These emit the normal energetic radiation and are  
outside of a discussion about LENR.

LeClair entered this energy level in his experiments. Also, evidence  
exists for unusual kinds of radiation being emitted, with the EV  
being one example. The nuclear world is still not understood, but I  
choose to explore on only one part of this large unknown.

I don't feel that we have anything like enough evidence to say 
definitively whether there is one, or more than one, underlying 
mechanism.  It seems likely that at least some of the different sets of 
experimental results will have a common underlying mechanism, and it is 
well worth trying to make progress by looking for common factors that 
might point to possible underlying mechanisms.  But there may well be 
outliers that dont fit in, which may, or may not indicate that it is 
hopelessly wrong, or there might be multiple mechanisms   However a 
hypothesis should suggests some novel experiments (ie is to a degree 
testable and can make predictions) which, as has already been said, is 
the whole point of a hypothesis.   If it does not then it is of no great 
help.


I feel that to state categorically at the moment that there are X 
underlying mechanisms is akin to stating that you can fit X angels on a

First off - LENR is no miracle. We are at the stage of adequate proof. The
past irregularity in the Lab, of finding any LENR reaction at all - is still
with us, Rossi notwithstanding. But that irregularity in itself is
indicative of there being many energetic pathways of variable probability.
As is Mills and the extraordinary variety of findings of transmutation or no
transmutation, helium-e or tritium or helium-4 etc.

Second, there is nothing in physics related to the silly notion of
conservation of miracles. It is merely a reflection of the ignorance of
the observer.

Thirdly, hydrogen makes up most of the Universe - perhaps 90% of what we can
see, and up to 99% of all mass, if dark matter is hydrogen in a DDL (deep
Dirac level). Thus, it could be opined that if there were such a parameter
as miracles (inherent ignorance) then the vast majority of those should be
relate to hydrogen. 

In short, a dozen different versions of LENR could be on the low side :-)

You can compare this to combustion, which works differently

Sometimes it is rapid in an explosion, sometimes slow. As Chris Tinsley

Re: [Vo]:a note from Dr. Stoyan Sargoytchev

First off, the production of only stable isotopes via fusion, points to no
transfer of any angular momentum or kinetic energy by the cold fusion
reaction. This points to photofusion.

The report that only even numbers of protons and neutrons in the nucleus
before fusion resulting in a zero nuclear spin points to photofusion.

The clue that transmutation is not due to fission which cannot happen
because of  negative energy coming out of the fission reaction or multiple
separate serial fusion events because multiple lighter elements are
produced by fusion; so the cause must be a result of one massive fusion
reaction  of many diprotons into the nickel atom. This points to a total
removal of nuclear repulsion for all these nucleons which all combine
into two or more lighter  resultant nuclei. Also the production of all
those highly concentrated cooper pairs of protons point to suspension of
nuclear repulsion.

   If low-level penetrating radiation is not allowed (e.g., photons in

  contraindicated, because everything we know about p+Ni says that it
  will

 it
  takes
  place, for a period of hours or days.  If low-level radiation is

  then p+Ni is not necessarily ruled out.  That is the heart of much
 of
  the

  Jones wants to say that there is no penetrating radiation whatsoever
  in NiH.  He no doubt has his reversible proton fusion in mind.  Ed
  wants to
  say that what low-level radiation there is above a very low

  is
  due to side channels (if I have understood him).  He has his
 hydroton
  in
  mind.  I've argued that the evidence bears otherwise on both counts,
  and
  that low-level penetrating radiation is both seen and is perhaps
  inherent
  to NiH cold fusion and not due to a side channel.  Although this
  discussion
  might look like the usual discussion about MeV gammas, really it has

I agree with QED.

We humans live in a weakly ionizing quantum vacuum, which varies in
concentration in our atmosphere, creating low pressure disturbances and is
conductive.  Based upon observation, it is ionizing oxygen in our
atmosphere and forming water vapor as well as weakly ionizing the
water/ocean at times and triggering blooms and hypoxia.  It is probably the
ionization energy behind photosynthesis.

This dark matter streams from the Sun, goes through inflation forming
strings in our atmosphere which are decaying all of the time creating our
weather in the jet streams and streaming to the core of the Earth, weakly
interacting on humans and the Earth in a weakly ionizing effect we call
gravity.

That is my Macro explanation of something that is quantum in Nature

 First off - LENR is no miracle. We are at the stage of adequate proof. The
 past irregularity in the Lab, of finding any LENR reaction at all - is
 still
 with us, Rossi notwithstanding. But that irregularity in itself is
 indicative of there being many energetic pathways of variable probability.
 As is Mills and the extraordinary variety of findings of transmutation or
 no
 transmutation, helium-e or tritium or helium-4 etc.

 Second, there is nothing in physics related to the silly notion of
 conservation of miracles. It is merely a reflection of the ignorance of
 the observer.

 Thirdly, hydrogen makes up most of the Universe - perhaps 90% of what we
 can
 see, and up to 99% of all mass, if dark matter is hydrogen in a DDL (deep
 Dirac level). Thus, it could be opined that if there were such a parameter
 as miracles (inherent ignorance) then the vast majority of those should
 be
 relate to hydrogen.

 In short, a dozen different versions of LENR could be on the low side :-)

 You can compare this to combustion, which works differently
 with different materials. Sometimes it produces smoke; sometimes it
 doesn't.
 Sometimes it is rapid in an explosion, sometimes slow. As Chris Tinsley
 often pointed out, taking a broader view, you can even say that metabolism
 is a form of combustion.

Re: [Vo]:a note from Dr. Stoyan Sargoytchev

this post  changed my mind about fission as a source of light nuclear ash.

You might get fission to lighter elements, if you initially add enough
energy in
the form of excess mass to more than make up for the energy deficit.
Yes that means Hydrogen fusion with the Ni. However there is only one 62Ni
fission reaction that is exothermic if only one proton is added, and that
is the
reaction:-

1H+62Ni = 59Co + 4He + 0.346 MeV

However, if 2 protons are added simultaneously, there are many more possible
exothermic reactions, e.g. :-

1H+1H+62Ni = 63Zn + n + 1.974 MeV
1H+1H+62Ni = 64Zn + 13.835 MeV
1H+1H+62Ni = 63Cu + 1H + 6.122 MeV
1H+1H+62Ni = 60Ni + 4He + 9.879 MeV
1H+1H+62Ni = 4He + 4He + 56Fe + 3.495 MeV   this one produces iron.
1H+1H+62Ni = 52Cr + 12C + 3.249 MeV
1H+1H+62Ni = 48Ti + 16O + 1.057 MeV
1H+1H+62Ni = 34S + 30Si + 2.197 MeV

The last 4 produce lighter elements.

There are also similar reactions for the other Ni isotopes, and also for the
daughter products of the initial reactions, e.g. :-


1H+1H+64Zn = 66Ge + 10.202 MeV
1H+1H+64Zn = 65Ga + 1H + 3.942 MeV
1H+1H+64Zn = 62Zn + 4He + 7.321 MeV
1H+1H+64Zn = 4He + 4He + 58Ni + 3.860 MeV
1H+1H+64Zn = 54Fe + 12C + 4.827 MeV
1H+1H+64Zn = 50Cr + 16O + 3.571 MeV
1H+1H+64Zn = 42Ca + 24Mg + 1.055 MeV
1H+1H+64Zn = 36Ar + 30Si + 3.239 MeV
1H+1H+64Zn = 37Ar + 29Si + 1.417 MeV
1H+1H+64Zn = 38Ar + 28Si + 4.782 MeV
1H+1H+64Zn = 35Cl + 31P + 2.029 MeV
1H+1H+64Zn = 33S + 33S + 1.746 MeV
1H+1H+64Zn = 34S + 32S + 4.522 MeV

Note the many light elements/isotopes.

Generally speaking by the time one gets to the mid-range elements, fission
becomes much less likely when only a single nucleon is added (one can see
this
by checking neutron absorption cross sections). However concurrent addition
of
*two* protons could be a whole different kettle of fish.

Why do I even consider two proton additions? Because a severely shrunken
Hydrino
molecule is electrically neutral and even more massive than a neutron, so I
think it may be possible for it to pass through the electron shells of other
atoms and approach the nucleus, just as neutrons do.

And they bring two protons to the party *at the same time*.

Note that just because a reaction is exothermic, that doesn't necessarily
mean
that it will happen frequently/easily or even at all for that matter.

Furthermore, the more energy/mass that is initially added, the more likely
fission becomes. Since it is also possible for two Hydrino molecules to be
magnetically bound together, reactions involving the addition of 4 protons
may
also be possible, e.g. :-

1H+1H+1H+1H+62Ni = 65Ge + n + 10.750 MeV

I had not intended to get involved with this field, but stumbled into it 
when I became aware of some experimental results that did not fit into 
the conventional picture.  Once I dipped my toe into the water I quickly 
came to realise how much information was available, some of which did 
seem to provide a pointer that might explain what had been seen.  I have 
hypothesies on this and other scientific things, some of which I have 
been working on for over 30 years, but it is my custom when explaining 
them to other people to finish with But I may be wrong.  I hope this 
means that I can give up opinions if circumstances dictate.


I find it also useful to be able to say I understand your hypothesis, 
and it may be right (indeed it may well have advantages), but for the 
moment science is probably best served if you continue with your 
hypothesis and I with mine, and hopefully experimental evidence 
suggested by our two hypothesies will be such that we find out who was 
right before we die.

You might get fission to lighter elements, if you initially add  
enough energy in

the form of excess mass to more than make up for the energy deficit.
Yes that means Hydrogen fusion with the Ni. However there is only  
one 62Ni
fission reaction that is exothermic if only one proton is added, and  
that is the

reaction:-

1H+62Ni = 59Co + 4He + 0.346 MeV

However, if 2 protons are added simultaneously, there are many more  
possible

exothermic reactions, e.g. :-

1H+1H+62Ni = 63Zn + n + 1.974 MeV
1H+1H+62Ni = 64Zn + 13.835 MeV
1H+1H+62Ni = 63Cu + 1H + 6.122 MeV
1H+1H+62Ni = 60Ni + 4He + 9.879 MeV
1H+1H+62Ni = 4He + 4He + 56Fe + 3.495 MeV   this one produces  
iron.

1H+1H+62Ni = 52Cr + 12C + 3.249 MeV
1H+1H+62Ni = 48Ti + 16O + 1.057 MeV
1H+1H+62Ni = 34S + 30Si + 2.197 MeV

The last 4 produce lighter elements.

There are also similar reactions for the other Ni isotopes, and also  
for the

daughter products of the initial reactions, e.g. :-


1H+1H+64Zn = 66Ge + 10.202 MeV
1H+1H+64Zn = 65Ga + 1H + 3.942 MeV
1H+1H+64Zn = 62Zn + 4He + 7.321 MeV
1H+1H+64Zn = 4He + 4He + 58Ni + 3.860 MeV
1H+1H+64Zn = 54Fe + 12C + 4.827 MeV
1H+1H+64Zn = 50Cr + 16O + 3.571 MeV
1H+1H+64Zn = 42Ca + 24Mg + 1.055 MeV
1H+1H+64Zn = 36Ar + 30Si + 3.239 MeV
1H+1H+64Zn = 37Ar + 29Si + 1.417 MeV
1H+1H+64Zn = 38Ar + 28Si + 4.782 MeV
1H+1H+64Zn = 35Cl + 31P + 2.029 MeV
1H+1H+64Zn = 33S + 33S + 1.746 MeV
1H+1H+64Zn = 34S + 32S + 4.522 MeV

Note the many light elements/isotopes.

Generally speaking by the time one gets to the mid-range elements,  
fission
becomes much less likely when only a single nucleon is added (one  
can see this
by checking neutron absorption cross sections). However concurrent  
addition of

*two* protons could be a whole different kettle of fish.

Why do I even consider two proton additions? Because a severely  
shrunken Hydrino
molecule is electrically neutral and even more massive than a  
neutron, so I
think it may be possible for it to pass through the electron shells  
of other

atoms and approach the nucleus, just as neutrons do.

And they bring two protons to the party *at the same time*.

Note that just because a reaction is exothermic, that doesn't  
necessarily mean

that it will happen frequently/easily or even at all for that matter.

Furthermore, the more energy/mass that is initially added, the more  
likely
fission becomes. Since it is also possible for two Hydrino molecules  
to be
magnetically bound together, reactions involving the addition of 4  
protons may

also be possible, e.g. :-

Re: [Vo]:a note from Dr. Stoyan Sargoytchev

IMHO, it would be productive in your reaction analysis to consider how
important nuclear spin is in the LENR reaction.

Then, you might ask yourself why spin is so important, then you might draw
a connection between spin and magnetic effects and influences.

 You might get fission to lighter elements, if you initially add enough

 Yes that means Hydrogen fusion with the Ni. However there is only one
 62Ni
 fission reaction that is exothermic if only one proton is added, and
 that is the
 reaction:-

 1H+62Ni = 59Co + 4He + 0.346 MeV

 However, if 2 protons are added simultaneously, there are many more
 possible
 exothermic reactions, e.g. :-

 1H+1H+62Ni = 63Zn + n + 1.974 MeV

 1H+1H+62Ni = 63Cu + 1H + 6.122 MeV
 1H+1H+62Ni = 60Ni + 4He + 9.879 MeV
 1H+1H+62Ni = 4He + 4He + 56Fe + 3.495 MeV   this one produces iron.
 1H+1H+62Ni = 52Cr + 12C + 3.249 MeV
 1H+1H+62Ni = 48Ti + 16O + 1.057 MeV
 1H+1H+62Ni = 34S + 30Si + 2.197 MeV

 The last 4 produce lighter elements.

 There are also similar reactions for the other Ni isotopes, and also for
 the
 daughter products of the initial reactions, e.g. :-


 1H+1H+64Zn = 66Ge + 10.202 MeV
 1H+1H+64Zn = 65Ga + 1H + 3.942 MeV
 1H+1H+64Zn = 62Zn + 4He + 7.321 MeV
 1H+1H+64Zn = 4He + 4He + 58Ni + 3.860 MeV
 1H+1H+64Zn = 54Fe + 12C + 4.827 MeV
 1H+1H+64Zn = 50Cr + 16O + 3.571 MeV
 1H+1H+64Zn = 42Ca + 24Mg + 1.055 MeV
 1H+1H+64Zn = 36Ar + 30Si + 3.239 MeV
 1H+1H+64Zn = 37Ar + 29Si + 1.417 MeV
 1H+1H+64Zn = 38Ar + 28Si + 4.782 MeV
 1H+1H+64Zn = 35Cl + 31P + 2.029 MeV
 1H+1H+64Zn = 33S + 33S + 1.746 MeV
 1H+1H+64Zn = 34S + 32S + 4.522 MeV

 Note the many light elements/isotopes.

 Generally speaking by the time one gets to the mid-range elements,
 fission
 becomes much less likely when only a single nucleon is added (one can
 see this
 by checking neutron absorption cross sections). However concurrent
 addition of
 *two* protons could be a whole different kettle of fish.

 Why do I even consider two proton additions? Because a severely shrunken
 Hydrino
 molecule is electrically neutral and even more massive than a neutron,
 so I
 think it may be possible for it to pass through the electron shells of
 other
 atoms and approach the nucleus, just as neutrons do.

 And they bring two protons to the party *at the same time*.

 Note that just because a reaction is exothermic, that doesn't
 necessarily mean
 that it will happen frequently/easily or even at all for that matter.

 Furthermore, the more energy/mass that is initially added, the more
 likely
 fission becomes. Since it is also possible for two Hydrino molecules to
 be
 magnetically bound together, reactions involving the addition of 4
 protons may
 also be possible, e.g. :-

 1H+1H+1H+1H+62Ni = 65Ge + n + 10.750 MeV
 1H+1H+1H+1H+62Ni = 66Ge + 24.037 MeV

They can still all be of the same basic nature, explainable with the same

water and the different ways they can be arranged. Every person is unique,
because there are so many ways DNA can be arranged to make viable person.
However, this does not mean that each snowflake has unique properties, or
that people are not all the same species, with a great deal in common
biologically.

The cold fusion reaction must be the same for all systems if we look deep 
enough. LeClair reports gamma radiation in cavitation and so does Piantelliin a 
nickel bar system. Both these systems are cold systems, 
Piantelli reports gammas when his system is very cold only. Rossi says that his 
early systems produced gammas. 


The bottom line, the basic cold fusion process does not always exclude the 
production of gammas.

It is true that some people in this thread have beenarguing about the

Better not to have powerful gammas in the firstplace.  
 

That is really the crux ofthe Nickel hydrogen analysis. Rossi/Forcardi 
originally proposed a reaction inwhich substantial gammas should have been 
witnessed at 10 kW of thermal release.The original lead shielding (in the first 
demo) was indicative of his beliefthat there were gamma and he hired an expert 
for testing at that demo. 
 
Things changed. Note thatof late, Rossi’s own comments (to JoNP) show that he 
is no longer pushing the transmutationof nickel to copper, and has doubts about 
any theory. In fact, we know that Ni- Cu cannot be the prime reaction for the 
reasons which have been hashedand rehashed- particularly, the lack of 
radioactive ash.

 


Jones wants to say that there is no penetratingradiation whatsoever in NiH.  He 
no doubt has his reversible proton fusionin mind.  
 

Well, yes - the RPF reversibleproton fusion suggestion (diproton reaction) only 
came into play as a last resort– and it was chosen as the “one and only” 
well-known nuclear reaction in all ofphysics which did not produce gammas. 
Problem is, of course, it only happens onthe sun; and QCD, which would describe 
the level of exotherm (it is a strong forcereaction) is not my field of 
expertise. I have been attempting to partner withan expert in QCD on this 
theory, but of course, most of them are negative onLENR to begin with and do 
not want to have their name associated with Rossi.That will change very soon.

 
Ed wants to say that what low-level radiation there isabove a very low 
threshold is due to side channels (if I have understood him). He has his 
hydroton in mind.  I've argued that the evidence bearsotherwise on both counts, 
and that low-level penetrating radiation is both seenand is perhaps inherent to

The cold fusion reaction must be the same for all systems if we look  
deep enough. LeClair reports gamma radiation in cavitation and so  
does Piantelli in a nickel bar system. Both these systems are cold  
systems,
Piantelli reports gammas when his system is very cold only. Rossi  
says that his early systems produced gammas.


The bottom line, the basic cold fusion process does not always  
exclude the production of gammas.

It is true that some people in this thread have been arguing about  
the suppression of MeV-range gammas.  Like you say, this sounds  
pretty far-out.  Better not to have powerful gammas in the first  
place.


That is really the crux of the Nickel hydrogen analysis. Rossi/ 
Forcardi originally proposed a reaction in which substantial gammas  
should have been witnessed at 10 kW of thermal release. The original  
lead shielding (in the first demo) was indicative of his belief that  
there were gamma and he hired an expert for testing at that demo.


Things changed. Note that of late, Rossi’s own comments (to JoNP)  
show that he is no longer pushing the transmutation of nickel to  
copper, and has doubts about any theory. In fact, we know that Ni -  
Cu cannot be the prime reaction for the reasons which have been  
hashed and rehashed- particularly, the lack of radioactive ash.


Jones wants to say that there is no penetrating radiation whatsoever  
in NiH.  He no doubt has his reversible proton fusion in mind.


Well, yes - the RPF reversible proton fusion suggestion (diproton  
reaction) only came into play as a last resort – and it was chosen  
as the “one and only” well-known nuclear reaction in all of physics  
which did not produce gammas. Problem is, of course, it only happens  
on the sun; and QCD, which would describe the level of exotherm (it  
is a strong force reaction) is not my field of expertise. I have  
been attempting to partner with an expert in QCD on this theory, but  
of course, most of them are negative on LENR to begin with and do  
not want to have their name associated with Rossi. That will change  
very soon.


Ed wants to say that what low-level radiation there is above a very  
low threshold is due to side channels (if I have understood him).   
He has his hydroton in mind.  I've argued that the evidence bears  
otherwise on both counts, and that low-level penetrating radiation  
is both seen and is perhaps inherent to NiH cold fusion and not due  
to a side channel.


The problem with any suggestion including Ed’s, which does not  
exclude gamma radiation from the start (ab initio) which is to say -

Re: [Vo]:a note from Dr. Stoyan Sargoytchev

A.V. Simakin has done the experiments you are after. They show how
Photofission works.

This nuclear reaction does not need a lattice to work. The NAE is a space
between the gold nanoparticles.

Without the nanoparticles, laser light of the same intensity does not
produce the reaction.

I believe that LeClair is producing water based nanoparticles that catalyze
the LENR reaction as I have explained to vortex in past posts.

Initiation of nuclear reactions under laser irradiation of Au
nanoparticles in the aqueous solution of Uranium salt.

It is clearly shown that Neutrons are not required to initiate fission and
the transmutation that fission can produce.

Abstract
Laser exposure of suspension of either gold or palladium nanoparticles in
aqueous solutions of UO2Cl2 of natural isotope abundance was experimentally
studied. Picosecond Nd:YAG lasers at peak power of 1011 -1013 W/cm2 at the
wavelength of 1.06 - 0.355 mm were used as well as a visible-range Cu vapor
laser at peak power of 1010 W/cm2. The composition of colloidal solutions
before and after laser exposure was analyzed using atomic absorption and
gamma spectroscopy in 0.06 - 1 MeV range of photon energy. A real-time
gamma-spectroscopy was used to characterize the kinetics of nuclear
reactions during laser exposure. It was found that laser exposure initiated
nuclear reactions involving both 238U and 235U nuclei via different
channels in H2O and D2O. The influence of saturation of both the liquid and
nanoparticles by gaseous H2 and D2 on the kinetics of nuclear
transformations was found. Possible mechanisms of observed processes are
discussed.

Here is another paper:

I have referenced papers here to show how the nanoplasmonic mechanism can
change the half-life of U232 from 69 years to 6 microseconds. It also
causes thorium to fission.

RE: [Vo]:a note from Dr. Stoyan Sargoytchev

From: Jed Rothwell 

 

JR: There may be no evidence for this, but it seems likely

based on what McKubre calls the conservation of miracles.

First off - LENR is no miracle. We are at the stage of adequate proof. The
past irregularity in the Lab, of finding any LENR reaction at all - is still
with us, Rossi notwithstanding.

 

McKubre did not mean it is a miracle. That was a joke. He meant what I said
in the next sentences:

. . . It is not likely that there are many different, totally unrelated,
heretofore undiscovered ways to generate nuclear reactions in a metal
lattice. 

 

Why not? QM has shown us clearly Ockham was always a joke, and that atomic
processes are always far more complicated, not less complicated than what we
want them to be without QM- due to tunneling, time reversal and other
strange features. And who said anything about totally unrelated? Of course
they are all related by QM if nothing else. 

 

The undiscovered part of the history of LENR is the key to understanding
the multiple routes to thermal gain - in what it implies about the ignorance
of the mainstream (and even about the continuing ignorance of some segments
of the LENR community, many who still reject or do not understand QM). 

 

When the first route to LENR was discovered, the Pd-D route in 1989 - then
that discovery alone implies that other latent routes are likely to be there
- instead of less likely. This is because the first discovery affirms the
ignorance of all scientists in the first case. 

 

It is merely an issue of vanity which makes any scientific observer think -
that because he was fooled once, he can't be fooled many times. Vanity,
vanity. That and absurd appeals to Ockham.

 

The truth is that being fooled the first time makes it more probable that
the same observer (mainstream science, or even one-track coldfusionistas)
suffer from a systemic problem of analysis, which until it has been
remedied, will cause the observer to fail again and again - and consequently
miss other different, but somewhat related, routes to LENR. At least a
dozen.

 

Therefore and to the contrary, I think it could be very likely to be many
routes to thermal gain with H2, and in fact all the evidence points that way
- all of them unknown prior to 1989 but with the common denominator of
hydrogen isotopes, which are entirely or partially confined in a lattice,
usually involving QM tunneling. Often confinement will imply greatly
increased density of the reactant, loss of molecular identity, and loss of
freedom of movement.

 

Pd-D is very different from Ni-H, but not unrelated. QM tunneling can exist
in either case with vastly different results. Clearly Ni-H produces no
helium and usually no gammas. Clearly deuterium in nickel is less likely to
give excess heat and helium, than in Pd and nickel does almost nothing in
Pd. In no way are the reactions the same, but neither are they totally
different. 

 

Most reactions give no gammas, others a few gammas but these cannot be the
same reaction because of the gammas. Same with transmutation. All the dozen
of so LENR miracles are based on the mega-miracle of QM but it is
remarkable how often this is overlooked.

What I have in mind with the conservation of miracles idea is similar,

ways to produce anomalous heat from hydrides and yet they have all been
hidden for the last 150 years. If there are many different mechanisms, it
seems likely that some would be far easier to discover that others, and
someone would have stumbled over an easy one long ago, rather than having
them all appear after March 1989. People discovered things like the Seebeck
effect (thermoelectricity) in 1821 because that wasn't hard to detect. They
did not discover the transistor effect until 1948 because that called for
very pure materials and new theory.

I remember studying an experiment were transmutation was offset from the
primary reaction site (NAE) by some very long distance but the
transmutation at the remote site was weaker than at the crater(NAE) in the
lattice.

This indicated to me that an EMF causation was at play because the remote

Consider various physical effects in metals that have been discovered over
the centuries, such as magnetism, conducting electricity, the
thermoelectric effect (and its opposite manifestation the Peltier effect),
the photovoltaic effect, hydrogen embrittlement, piezoelectricity, and
superconductivity. Each of these has one mechanism, and only one mechanism,
as far as I know.

It seems unlikely to me that anomalous nuclear effects in highly loaded
metal hydrides are caused by many different phenomena with different
physical principles. I do not think there are any other physical effects in
metals which have two or more different disparate causes.

Re: [Vo]:a note from Dr. Stoyan Sargoytchev

I agree with your approach Ed.  I just wanted to point out that we must not put 
on blinders if we make measurements that suggest that some other reaction is 
taking place than the suspected one.  It is prudent to begin with the most 
likely concepts to explore and to keep our eyes wide open for results that do 
not quite match our expectations.

It would not come as a big surprise if eventually a few different processes are 
identified.   Time and experimentation will settle the issue and it is 
premature to declare victory.

For example, if you go back to the time before PF there was no possible way 
for cold fusion to occur according to what was known and the doors need to 
remain open to new discoveries that might come from unexpected locals.  If the 
magnetic field reported by DGT turns out to be real, then a whole new series of 
paths become possible.  I have been considering the application of positive 
feedback involving the interaction of a locally powerful magnetic field and 
some form of nuclear fusion process that couple into each other.  A large scale 
version of this phenomena would not have been possible to observe before Rossi 
or DGT had systems with adequate power.  The way nickel looses it gross 
magnetic characteristic once the temperature reaches a threshold might allow 
the underlying process to initiate.

The cold fusion reaction must be the same for all systems if we

so does Piantelli in a nickel bar system. Both these systems are  
cold systems,
Piantelli reports gammas when his system is very cold only. Rossi

RE: [Vo]:a note from Dr. Stoyan Sargoytchev

 

From: Jed Rothwell 

 

Consider various physical effects in metals that have been discovered over
the centuries, such as magnetism, conducting electricity, the thermoelectric
effect (and its opposite manifestation the Peltier effect), the photovoltaic
effect, hydrogen embrittlement, piezoelectricity, and superconductivity.
Each of these has one mechanism, and only one mechanism, as far as I know.

 

It seems unlikely to me that anomalous nuclear effects in highly loaded
metal hydrides are caused by many different phenomena with different
physical principles. I do not think there are any other physical effects in
metals which have two or more different disparate causes.

 

In biology you sometimes find mechanisms, organs and so on that evolved
independently, but came to resemble one another, such as the body shape of
dolphins and fish. That's another story entirely.

 

Conduction of electricity disproves your point since it has several distinct
forms - including ionic conductivity, superconductivity and HTSC, which is
different from SC. Not to mention biological conduction in neurons and
semiconductors.

 

At any rate, the difference between LENR and the simpler physical effects is
found in the mysteries of QM tunneling in the context of two intertwined
mechanisms - the reactant and the lattice which can experience tunneling
effects in markedly different ways. 

 

Thus, hydrogen reacting within a nickel lattice would be a different
reaction from deuterium reacting within palladium, both in the output, the
ash and the radiation. The difference is sufficient to call them: two
different types of LENR. QM tunneling is a basic paradigm shift in
understanding, and it changes everything - to the extent that hydrogen
reacting with an alloy of nickel and barium can be a different reaction than
Ni-H.

 

Curiously, hydrogen embrittlement is somewhat similar to LENR, and could be
labeled as yet another form of LENR in which the thermal gain is relatively
insignificant. Thanks for bringing that up. It also emphasizes the point
that LENR can be low gain, high gain or endothermic. 

 

The most amazing detail of Ahern's EPRI work was in the discovery
(rediscovery) of LENR endotherm.

Re: [Vo]:a note from Dr. Stoyan Sargoytchev

Ed, the magnetic field interaction has some traction.  DGT, Dennis Craven, and 
Rossi all have mentioned observations that suggest magnetic interaction.  If I 
recall, one of the government labs found correlation as well.  It may be a 
blind alley as you appear to believe, but what if a strong clue to some LENR 
behavior is lurking within the data?

Of course, I have long been seeking some form of coupling between adjacent NAE 
that leads to the explosive crater phenomena.  Phonons, photons, or perhaps a 
shared magnetic environment might assist in some way to organize group 
behavior.  I also harbor the thought that an extreme magnetic field might be 
the mechanism which offers fusion energy a slow escape process.  We assume that 
a magnetic field can reach through the electron cloud and into the nucleus 
freely.  The same in not true for electric fields.

That is just a couple of reasons that I find magnetic interactions attractive 
to ponder.  It may be a dead end, but it has possibilities.

As you say, there are many ways to waste time and each has to choose his path.  
You come down hard against the W-L theory, but for some reason many including 
NASA seem convinced that they are moving ahead.  I tend to agree with you on 
that one and perhaps we are both wrong.

for as cheap as 1 cent/kW-hour - two to four times cheaper than any other

8,250 megawatts of clean, safe hydrino generation fueled by water

Re: [Vo]:a note from Dr. Stoyan Sargoytchev

2014-02-03 Thread Bob Cook

Dave--

Muon induced cold fusion was known before  the P-F effect was demonstrated.  

I always assumed the magnetic field in the P-F effect was somehow involved with 
the event.  Pd has a large magnetic susceptibility and a large electronic heat 
capacity associated with effectively heavy S band electrons.  The large B field 
inside the Pd metal would reduce the number of possible quantum states for the 
deuterium particles and cause them to be aligned, spin-wise, parallel or anti 
parallel to the local (internal)  B field.   

  I have an idea about the synthesis of He from the deuterium that involves the 
spin, angular momentum and  transfer of residual energy via spin coupling to 
the electronic structure of the lattice, assuming a continuous quantum 
connected system.  I have always thought that the He formed in the process 
starts out as an excited He* with a high spin quantum state and associated 
energy which is rapidly (instantaneously) released to the lattice electrons 
(conserving angular momentum)  and hence vibrational phonons--heat.  Linear 
momentum and kinetic energy is not involved in the process.  

Also, apparently similar (perceived the same)  physical phenomena have 
differing causes--the issue is in what's apparent and what really is the cause. 
 I tend to agree with Axil.   His comment that if you look deep enough (the 
picture will make  sense) is the basis for scientific investigation.

Dave, we are trying to find out what nature has decided. To do  
this, assumptions have to be made, which are tested against what  
nature reveals. The simplest assumption is to explore only a single  
process. It turns out that assumption fits the behavior.  Of course  
this fit might result from luck, but this approach would seem to be  
a good start - better than an approach that does not fit the  
observations.

The cold fusion reaction must be the same for all systems if we  
look deep enough. LeClair reports gamma radiation in cavitation  
and so does Piantelli in a nickel bar system. Both these systems  
are cold systems,
Piantelli reports gammas when his system is very cold only. Rossi  
says that his early systems produced gammas.


The bottom line, the basic cold fusion process does not always  
exclude the production of gammas.

How do you know SC and HTSC are different things? 

The experts seem to agree that in conventional superconductivity, electrons
are paired (Cooper pairs) and this is mediated by lattice phonons whose
kinetic excursion is suppressed to almost nothing but what is left is
important. In HTSC - high temperature superconductivity - the explanation is
different: electron pairing is not mediated by phonons, which must be more
widely spaced, but by spin waves known as quasi-particles similar to magnons
(para-magnons). There are actually several theories that are above my pay
grade.

One of the reasons that HTSC seems similar to LENR, in general, is that
Cooper pairs of protons do exist - and would be the direct analogy; and spin
waves or magnons would be the mediation. Thus the Letts/Cravens effect is
tied back to the magnons. 

One thing which LENR may be missing, based on HTSC principles is that there
could be an advantage to establishing a high current flow of protons through
the lattice by some kind of mechanical pumping. No one is doing this AFAIK.

Re: [Vo]:a note from Dr. Stoyan Sargoytchev

I would first hold off judgment and disbelief until I see if the claim is
self-consistent. Then I move on to consistencies with other examples of
similar claims: there have been many claims about monopole production in
the long history of cold fusion, next I move on to consistency with known
science and engineering.

This is why I brought up this research as follows:

Half-solitons in a polariton quantum fluid behave like magnetic monopoles

http://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1204/1204.3564.pdf

If a ball of light cannot produce a magnetic field, I would disbelieve the
claim. However, if a ball of polaritons are likely to produce a anaople
magnetic field and it looks like a monopole (no it is a monopole, the holy
grail of many in the hunt for cold fusion over many years), I would choose
to believe that the Ni/H reactor can produce monopole magnetic fields and
that these fields are central to cold fusion.

Next, I would wait with anticipation for any new bit of research that DGT
might release to see if the monopole nature of the magnetism is further
supported.

 It is a conundrum of human nature that people beg and pled for info to be

 unless it fits into the existing mindset, it can be safely ignored.

 It might also be that the background to understand how meta-materials,
 polaritons and quantum/nano optics works is not yet developed enough. This
 stuff is quite new and a specialty.

 For example, people who have limited background in the proper disciplines
 may think that an invisibility cloak is witchcraft but it has been built.

 Just the fact that by heating up a pinch of nickel dust can produce the
 magnetic output of a superconducting MRI machine is quite amazing in itself.

 If a person has just a small modicum of curiosity, such a scientific

 It would not come as a big surprise if eventually a few different

 and it is premature to declare victory.

 For example, if you go back to the time before PF there was no possible
 way for cold fusion to occur according to what was known and the doors need
 to remain open to new discoveries that might come from unexpected locals.
 If the magnetic field reported by DGT turns out to be real, then a whole
 new series of paths become possible.  I have been considering the
 application of positive feedback involving the interaction of a locally
 powerful magnetic field and some form of nuclear fusion process that couple
 into each other.  A large scale version of this phenomena would not have
 been possible to observe before Rossi or DGT had systems with adequate
 power.  The way nickel looses it gross magnetic characteristic once the
 temperature reaches a threshold might allow the underlying process to

 I agree Dave, keeping an open mind is important. However, it is not wise

Re: [Vo]:a note from Dr. Stoyan Sargoytchev

Bob, I was not thinking about Muon type cold fusion.  I guess it skipped my 
thoughts since I have been concentrating on nickel hydrogen systems.  It is 
interesting to see that you have been seeking some form of interaction between 
the reactant atoms and a magnetic field since it makes a great deal of sense 
that some direct interaction takes place between the charged particles and the 
magnetic field that permeates the area around them.  If that field is intense 
enough, one might expect it to restrain the motion of those charged particles 
by effectively offering them a medium to 'push' against.

A slow moving magnetic field of the sort that I understand DGT suggests would 
be able to reach into every region of the active material, including the 
nuclei.   The relatively slow moving nature of the externally detected remnant 
would be expected since the internally generated field passes through an 
excellent metallic conductor.  I also suspect that any locally generated 
rapidly changing magnetic field variations would be absorbed by nearby 
electrons in the lattice due to an induced 'E field' at their location.

How far into the metal lattice the rapid magnetic field variations penetrate is 
of interest.  It seems logical to assume that essentially all of the electrons 
that intercept that field would get a kick from a nearby fusion reaction.  This 
process reminds me of how I visualize a magnetic brake in operation.

A few questions remain that I want answered.  Is the large external magnetic 
field reported by DGT real?  Have they retracted that announcement or do they 
continue to insist that it is reported accurately?

If the field exists, my suspicion is that there is some interaction between the 
powerful magnetic field and the individual NAE.   How this gets translated into 
a positive feedback effect escapes me at this time.  I anticipate a positive 
feedback system is generating this behavior because of the nature of the field. 
 There does not seem to be any known reason for such a large field to be 
generated by the DGT device, and of course, it begins as a small field.   There 
likewise is no good explanation for the LENR action either, so it seems like a 
logical conclusion to assume they are connected in some manner.  For example, a 
small local NAE allows a fusion which results in the release of a significant 
local magnetic field that interacts with its neighbors.  This field induces 
some of them to join in leading to additional LENR activity.  The new fusions 
are somehow able to add to the initial guiding field in a positive manner.  
Both increase together to result in a significant amount of LENR activity and a 
large total magnetic field.  You do not observe one without the other being 
present.  Also, unless the parameters are correct allowing the coupling to be 
sufficient, you do not observe a significant amount of LENR performance or a 
significant external magnetic field.  The requirement for the correct positive 
feedback environment could easily explain the difficulty in producing a working 
system.

The above scenario represents my latest thinking.

 Excess energy is a quantity consideration, not a quality consideration.
 The Ni/H reactor produces lots of excess heat because it has lots of

 A pinch of uranium may be fissioning and not produce measurable heat, but
 a A-bomb produces lots of fission per nanosecond and it produces lots of
 excess heat. It is a matter of quantity with the  quality being equal.

Re: [Vo]:a note from Dr. Stoyan Sargoytchev

A polariton is a photon and an electron locked together in a pair. This
pair orbits around a cavity on its edge. The spin of all polaritons are
pointed such that the polariton ensemble produces a magnetic field at the
center of the soliton perpendicular to the circular polariton current
(whirlpool). This current is superconducting. When photons and electrons
enter into the soliton, they don't exit. By the way, polariton solitons are
used as a research tool to understand the behavior of astrophysical black
holes.

I believe that the magnetic field projections from the soliton screen the
charge of all fermions in the nucleus including the nucleus and all protons
in the neighborhood. When the nucleus and many di-protons pairs around it
reorganizes, gamma energy travels back on the magnetic field lines from the
soliton and the photons gain energy generating increase magnetic field
strengths going forward. The magnetic fields produced by such solitons can
get huge.

LeClair saw a soliton he produced eat through 6 feet of copper as it rode
on the surface of a copper rod.

 A slow moving magnetic field of the sort that I understand DGT suggests

 through an excellent metallic conductor.  I also suspect that any locally
 generated rapidly changing magnetic field variations would be absorbed by
 nearby electrons in the lattice due to an induced 'E field' at their

 How far into the metal lattice the rapid magnetic field variations

 begins as a small field.   There likewise is no good explanation for the
 LENR action either, so it seems like a logical conclusion to assume they
 are connected in some manner.  For example, a small local NAE allows a
 fusion which results in the release of a significant local magnetic field
 that interacts with its neighbors.  This field induces some of them to join
 in leading to additional LENR activity.  The new fusions are somehow able
 to add to the initial guiding field in a positive manner.  Both increase
 together to result in a significant amount of LENR activity and a large
 total magnetic field.  You do not observe one without the other being
 present.  Also, unless the parameters are correct allowing the coupling to
 be sufficient, you do not observe a significant amount of LENR performance
 or a significant external magnetic field.

Re: [Vo]:BLP video is out

2014-02-03 Thread Bob Higgins

I haven't made it to the QA yet.

Mills talked about there being a 100:1 energy ratio between gasoline and
water.  In other words, a car would go as far on 1 gallon of water as 100
gallons of gasoline.  He made the case for a microliter of water producing
1000J of excess heat which is about 1 GJ/liter.  Gasoline is about 36
MJ/liter.  So, the ratio is about 28:1, which is approximately correct.
 Clearly the effect is not like LENR because the ratio to chemical is so
small.  Of course, Mills does not believe the effect is nuclear.

It bothers me that someone that has gone through so much extension of
Maxwell's equations to bring them to the physics of the atom (supposedly)
has made such a basic mistake in the presentation slides as missing the
direction for the B field in the MHD generator.  If he makes that mistake
in his patent drawings, he is screwed.

Further, what he shows for an MHD generator won't work for another reason
as well.  For the expanding plasma to make power, it would have to do work
passing through the magnetic field.  The magnetic field will offer an
impediment to the flow of the plasma - much like a small orifice would.
 That will produce back pressure that will cause the expanding plasma to go
anywhere else it can.  His gear electrodes will create an expansion volume
that will be hard to contain the plasma to go through those high back
pressure magnet channels.  The expansion volume around those gears would
have to be small and the gears would have to be sealed to force the plasma
to push through the magnetic field.  The fluid dynamics of his apparatus
just don't look like they will work.  It reminds me of the problems the hot
plasma folks have controlling their plasma at high temp and pressure.

The calorimetry of the pop is really interesting.  The guy who spoke
about it kept interchanging power for energy and that was a little
disturbing.  However, their apparatus seemed to show an energy gain of
about 2, presuming their measurements were correct.

A polariton is a photon and an electron locked together in a pair. This pair 
orbits around a cavity on its edge. The spin of all polaritons are pointed such 
that the polariton ensemble produces a magnetic field at the center of the 
soliton perpendicular to the circular polariton current (whirlpool). This 
current is superconducting. When photons and electrons enter into the soliton, 
they don’t exit. By the way, polariton solitons are used as a research tool to 
understand the behavior of astrophysical black holes. 
I believe that the magnetic field projections from the soliton screen the 
charge of all fermions in the nucleus including the nucleus and all protons in 
the neighborhood. When the nucleus and many di-protons pairs around it 
reorganizes, gamma energy travels back on the magnetic field lines from the 
soliton and the photons gain energy generating increase magnetic field 
strengths going forward. The magnetic fields produced by such solitons can get 
huge.
LeClair saw a soliton he produced eat through 6 feet of copper as it rode on 
the surface of a copper rod.

David,


A half soliton of polaritons can not only produce a magnetic field, it can 
thermalize gamma radiation to EUV and convert that radiation to more magnetic 
strength in a positive feed back loop.

enough, one might expect it to restrain the motion of those charged particles

A slow moving magnetic field of the sort that I understand DGT suggests would 
be able to reach into every region of the active material, including the 
nuclei.   The relatively slow moving nature of the externally detected remnant 
would be expected since the internally generated field passes through an 
excellent metallic conductor.  I also suspect that any locally generated 
rapidly changing magnetic field variations would be absorbed by nearby 
electrons in the lattice due to an induced 'E field' at their location.

How far into the metal lattice the rapid magnetic field variations penetrate is 
of interest.  It seems logical to assume that essentially all of the electrons 
that intercept that field would get a kick from a nearby fusion reaction.  This 
process reminds me of how I visualize a magnetic brake in operation.

A few questions remain that I want answered.  Is the large external magnetic

Re: [Vo]:a note from Dr. Stoyan Sargoytchev

yes, A magnetic field will affect  the direction of the spin of the both
the polariton and the soliton. but that might not affect the LENR reaction
because there is matter all around the soliton, the mega-spin of the
soliton will just zap some other atoms in the area.

One more point, all the solitons are formed into a superconducting BEC and
what the magnetic field will do to the BEC I have not thought about. The
external  magnetic field might destroy the BEC.

  The spin of the polariton produces the magnetic field in the same way
 that an iron magnet produces a magnetic field; that is, through spin
 alignment except that the half soliton has only one pole.
 Think of the soliton as a very strong permanent magnet.
 Charge movement does not produce a current. There is no AC frequency and
 no RF involved.

It is interesting to do a little math around this experiment.  Presume that
the popper is operating with a fuel of 1 microliter of water and produces a
net excess energy of 1000 joules.  Presume Mills to be correct in assigning
most of the reaction is conversion to 1/4 hydrino state that is liberating
~54 eV per atom (8.65E-18 J).  Then to get 1000 J of excess heat, would
require the transition to 1/4 hydrino state of 1.16E20 H atoms.  A mole is
6.02E23, so getting the 1000 J would take (1.16E20 H atoms)/(6.02E23 atoms
per mole) = 1.9E-4 mole.  For H, one mole is 1 gram, so getting 1000 J
consumed 190 micrograms of H.

In H2O, Hydrogen is 2/18 or 1/9 of the molecule.  So, 1 microliter of water
is 1 mg of water and has 1/9 of 1 mg of H = .111 mg of H = 111 micrograms
of H.

Hmmm.  So 190 micrograms of H was converted to 1/4 Hydrino state, but only
111 micrograms of H was present to start.  So, if the reaction was 100%
efficient, it would require almost 2 microliters of water to begin.  Or,
the H atoms would have to be sent to a smaller fraction hydrino state
liberating more energy per atom of H converted.

This seems too efficient in conversion of H to hydrino, or much more energy
is being liberated per atom of H.

Is my math correct?

Ed: the Rossi claim for transmutation producing energy is simply  
WRONG.


Jones:  Note that of late, Rossi’s own comments (to JoNP) show that  
he is no longer pushing the transmutation of nickel to copper, and  
has doubts about any theory. In fact, we know that Ni - Cu cannot  
be the prime reaction for the reasons which have been hashed and  
rehashed- particularly, the lack of radioactive ash.


Ed:  the claim for intense magnetic fields by DGT are so  
implausible and unsupported by any evidence they can be safely  
ignored.


The confidence with which these statements are made seems misplaced.


Why do you say this, Eric?  Do you have evidence I do not know about?  
Can you give a reason why the statements are not correct? On the other  
hand, I can give reasons why I think the statements are correct. If I  
were uncertain, I would say so. However, I think my reasons are strong  
enough to give confidence. What are your reasons for not agreeing?   
Science is based on choices, not on accepting every claim. The choices  
are based on knowledge. Sometimes they are wrong, but at least the  
reasons are clear. What are your reasons for believing Rossi and DGT?


As for transmutation producing energy, if the rate is great enough,  
transmutation will produce detectable power. The problem is getting  
sufficient rate. No measurement shows a sufficient rate can be  
produced.  In addition, the huge Coulomb barrier stops the reaction,  
which eliminates the claim unless a method to overcome it is  
identified. I have suggested a method, but the rate would nevertheless  
be small.


As for the magnetic field, this is based on a statement by DGT without  
any evidence being published. This is hearsay evidence. It has no  
value even in law, much less in science.  Of course, a small magnetic  
effect might occur or a small magnetic field might alter the rate.  
However, no magnetic field can be created at the atomic level that is  
known to cause a nuclear reaction. Some very intense magnetic fields  
have been generated without producing fusion, which is the process we  
are discussing. Why would you believe DGT could create such a field in  
the apparatus they have shown?
