RE: [Vo]:About iron and cobalt in Rossi's fuel
(Cross-posted from e-catworld ) Axil, Although some aspects of this reaction may be occurring, I suspect that the large crystal sizes for both the iron and lithium aluminum hydrate suggest that this fuel does not have sufficiently dispersed nano-scale reactants, which this article discusses as a distinguishing feature. Instead, I suspect that the iron is a large grain of fractured electrical steel which is used in bulk form to modulate the induced EMF stimulation into locally-enhanced gradients and spectral distributions, for SPP pumping. That is certainly how it appears in the fuel photograph, (particle 3, pages 43-44) at about 150x200 microns in size, with no apparent abrasions from ball milling or similar processes. The LiAlH4 also appears to be (particle 2, pages 43-44) a solid grain of 50x100 microns, and shows yield fractures and signs of being cut from a compressed form, which I believe is the tablet version of LiAlH4, rather than the powdered version. The tablet form is known to be much more stable in air than the powder. Sigma-Aldrich carries the tablets as product #323403. I suspect that 1-5 micron carbonyl-process nickel grains were tumbled with partially crushed or cut tablet grains, such as particle 2 shows, to prep for reactor startup. Ultrasonic stimulation of the nickel particles is known to promote clustering as well, and I suspect this may be a part of the fuel preparation process also. I suspect that Rochelle Salt (aka Potassium Sodium Tartrate) is being used as to bind the AlH4 ligands during startup, which may be a source of some of the potassium and sodium observed. The unlabeled particles that appear in Figure 3a on page 44, just below and touching the label box for particle 1, both exhibit a similar morphology that is distinct from that of particles 1, 2 and 3. I suspect these particles could be Rochelle Salt. As Bob Higgins pointed out previously, the role of other chemical getters, such as used in vacuum tube manufacturing and other controlled-atmosphere reactions, seems likely, and could be a source for other fuel elements not yet attributed to specific reactants.

LENR goes way beyond a great way to produce energy, it is a doorway to a new science whose implications when fully appreciated and developed will lift mankind up to trod upon brave new worlds spread like dust before eternity. A door for humankind will open to savor the power and the prerogatives of the gods. When man is wise enough to step through this doorway past the impossible that LENR lays open into timeless and unending existence, mankind will spread like a rising tide throughout the universe.

[Vo]:DCE and LENR could be merging soon
There has been a missing cross-connection between nuclear and electromagnetic theories at the nanoscale which has hobbled the understanding for LENR. For instance, many observers on vortex have been under the false impression that the Casimir force is much weaker than nuclear. which is not necessarily true, especially at elevated temperatures. New findings suggest that there is a near equivalence between the Casimir electrodynamic force and weak nuclear interactions. The paper in question: Ninham, B.W. et al Casimir Forces in a Plasma: Possible Connections to Yukawa Potentials http://www.epj.org/images/stories/news/2014/10.1140--epjd--e2014-50484-8.pdf At small distances the formulae are approaching equivalence to the effect of the force of an electron-positron plasma in the space between the interacting ideal plates, according to the study. Thus the dynamic Casimir force can be weakened or accentuated by a plasma. In this context, the mesons of the nuclear interaction theory become plasmons, which are collective excitations in the sea of electron-positron pairs in the vacuum. This ties in directly to the effect of SPP on Casimir cavities. As mentioned in recent postings on the Rossi dog-bone reactor, which is made of sintered alumina (which is a fabulous repository of dielectric Casimir cavities): a viable explanation for gain involves SPP pumping of hydrogen captured in ceramic Casimir cavities. If the conclusions suggested in this paper proves correct, the implications are profound for many scientific areas ranging from electrochemistry to nanotechnology . not to mention that the prime candidate for thermal gain in LENR - which is NOT the authors' concern here (never mentioned), probably shifts away from a nuclear explanation to the DCE, or Dynamical Casimir Effect.

Re: [Vo]:DCE and LENR could be merging soon
I always thought the strong force *was* a Casimir force. The diameter of the hydrogen nucleus is 10^-15m and the Planck length is 10^-35m. Assuming Planck to be the high frequency cutoff of the ZPF, the vast majority of the energy lies within these two wavelengths.

Re: [Vo]:DCE and LENR could be merging soon
Terry-- More wacky ideas: What about the gravitational attraction between two quarks--energy packets--on the small distant scales associated with 10 e-35 meters and on to 0. The force between small energy packets--quarks-- could get large until they disappear from sight. Is that why quarks can not be seen? They could be just black holes with charge and spin whatever those things are; unless quarks have a significant dimension such that they can not present a point of mass that is less than about `10 e-15 meters. These thoughts suggest that whatever establishes the dimension of a quark also establishes the distributed source of the gravitational field that the energy/mass of the quark generates.

[Vo]:Surface plasmon induced drag effect (SPIDEr)
The properties and behavior of the Surface plasmon polaritons(SPP) varies as a function of its lifetime. A short lived SPP performs a different job than its longer lived brothers. A short lived SPP will only exists on a femtosecond time scale. Metals support SPPs that exert forces on electrons causing an SPP-enhanced photon drag effect (PDE). A pronounced drag effect begins to take hold under the conditions of strong nanoplasmonic confinement, when the SPP localization radius is less than the skin depth (∼ 25 nm), has not been studied or exploited theoretically or experimentally in nanoplasmonics. A giant surface plasmon induced drag effect (SPIDEr) in metal nanowires, which is very fast, with response on the femtosecond time scale. Recent research shows that the ultra short, nanolocalized SPP pulses exert great forces on electrons in thin nanowires, inducing giant THz electromotive force (emf) along the SPP propagation direction. In thin (∼ 5 nm radius) nanowires this emf can reach ∼ 10 V, with nanolocalized THz fields as high as ∼ 1 MV/cm. Such THz field have previously been generated in the far zone, where they produce non-perturbative effects, but not on the nanoscale. In contrast, the plasmonic metal nanowires can serve as nanolocalized sources of high THz emf fields exerting accelerating force on electrons of its associated dipole. In LENR, one of the functions that Surface plasmon polaritons(SPP) perform is to transfer the energy carried by heat (IR) photons and inject that heat energy into the dipoles vibrations that form the matter based component of the SPP. There exists a energy concentration mechanism that feeds power into energetic electrons when these electrons are accelerated by the linear momentum contained in the IR photons that comprise the SPP. A SPP that dies quickly, produces more EMF force than one that exists for a long time and then dies slowly. There is an analogy to the dynamics of sparks. This SPP behavior seems to correspond to the proportional amplification of instantaneous power produced by a very short lived sparks. A spark that dies off quickly must shed all its power in a very short time frame. This lends itself to intense power amplification. The shorter lived the spark, the higher the instantaneous power that the spark produces when it dies. The following seems to be the relationship involves with this SPP ultra short collapse mechanism. EMF power is proportional for any given SPP power level to nanoplasmonic confinement. Nanoplasmonic confinement is related to the time that the SPP exists. A short lived SPP has a large and relatively leak proof nanoplasmonic confinement. Like a wakefield accelerator, a rapidly collapsing SPP will push electrons at high force levels proportional to its rate of collapse. The linear momentum of the SPP is transferred to the electrons with a great force giving the electron a high level of instantaneous power. A very small the nanoparticle and it associated contact plasma channel that the SPP forms with another touching nanoparticle, the higher the nanoplasmonic confinement and the shorter is that SPP lifetime. The EMF force produced by the SPP is inversely proportional to the cube of the diameter of the plasma channel. That is to say, a tiny sub-nanometer channel means a huge EMF power amplification factor. When two nanoparticles touch, the size of their point of contact defines their EMF instantaneous power amplification factor. The EMF force produced by the SPP is inversely proportional to the cube of the diameter of the plasma channel. That is to say, a tiny channel means a huge EMF amplification factor applied to the electron in the dipole at that point of contact. A small nanoparticle will produce a smaller point of contact and a proportionally larger EMF force application factor. In this way, the energy in the heat applied to the system is transferred to the dipoles as a huge increase in electron power. Now this electron has the ability to pair up with a EMF photon of even a higher frequency. In a short time, the SPP system will gradually clime an acceding frequency ladder to EMF levels in the extreme ultra violet (XUV) range.
