2014-12-30 Thread Bob Cook
Mark-- For some reason I have not received Axil's comments, however, the 
definition of coherence needs to be clarified.

I have always thought that coherence means that a quantum system exists of 
various matter with one quantum state and a single wave function.  In a BEC 
there is only only wave function that exists at a time.  That batch of 
matter--the BEC--acts like a single particle of matter.  Its coupling is with 
other wave functions (associated with other matter or EM fields) that overlap 
and may or may not change its wave function.  EM fields can be dynamic and 
moving field like in a photon or static fields like that associated with a 
group of static charges or coordinated moving charges. 

The idea of a strong pumping mechanism IMO means that the effective coupling 
happens when quantum state transitions (new wave functions) of the BEC change 
rapidly.  

Do these ideas differ from your concept.

  Axil,

   

  A few of your statements may not be entirely true, depending on the 
prevailing conditions…

   

  “Coherence in these half matter half light systems is a function on the 
strength of the pumping mechanism.

Coherence can occur at any temperature as long as the incoming pumping 
energy is strong enough.

When we have a BEC fed with incoming pumped nuclear energy, very high 
temperatures can be reached.”

   

  The coherence that I’m referring to, of any significant scale, is highly 
unlikely in condensed matter above a few K.  Inside a void in a crystal 
lattice, is entirely a different thing.  If you’re referring to a BEC inside a 
void or microcavity, then I’m ok with the above statements…

   

  Assume you already have a BEC consisting of 100 Cs atoms… all of their wave 
functions are coherent.

   

  Now introduce a single photon of heat.  That photon will be absorbed by *only 
a single atom*, thus, changing its wave function and vibrational amplitude.  
It’s wave function is now somewhat discordant with the remaining 99 atoms.  
From here, there are a couple of possibilities: 

   1) the single atom sheds a photon which is then absorbed by one of the other 
99 atoms. This process can go on for however long until the photon gets shed 
and exits the BEC entirely.

  2) if the heat energy is enough, the wave function is so discordant that the 
atom gets ejected from the BEC before it can shed the photon.

  3) ?

   

  The more coherence between a set of waves, the stronger the coupling between 
them; the more discordant, the weaker the coupling.

I have considered what you are saying as being normal Mark.  Relative motion of 
an atom to itself is zero, so it is at zero kelvin as far as it knows.  When a 
second atom is added to the void, it becomes more complicated but the relative 
motion of the two must become zero many times per second as they collide and 
rebound within your assumed cavity.  During these brief intervals we have two 
atoms that are at zero Kelvin from their reference frame.  As you add more and 
more atoms to the mix the amount of time during which zero relative motion 
exists between them becomes smaller and less likely, but does occur.

As long as you keep the number of atoms relatively small that are required to 
react in the process of your choice, it will have an opportunity to happen many 
times per second inside each cavity.  Multiply that number by the number of 
possible active cavities within a large object and you get an enormous number 
of active sites that have the potential to react.

If only 4 atoms are required at zero Kelvin in order to react as you may be 
considering, it seems obvious that this will occur so often that a large amount 
of heat will be released by a system of that type.  When you realize that it 
seems to be very difficult to achieve an LENR device that generates lots of 
heat I suspect that the number of reacting atoms confined within the cavity is 
quite a bit greater than 4.  How many do you believe are required in order to 
combine and in what form is the ash?

On the other hand, if a reaction is virtually guaranteed once a modest number 
of atoms becomes confined inside the void, then the limiting factor might be 
that it becomes impossible to confine the required number under most 
conditions.  If this situation is the limiting factor, then a higher 
temperature could well allow more atoms of the reactants to enter into a void 
of the necessary type as more space become available when the cavity walls open 
with additional motion. 

I am not convinced that this type of reaction is the cause of LENR, but at 
least it should be given proper consideration.

large enough (whatever that dimension is), there is NO ‘temperature’ inside 
since the void contains no atoms.  If an atom diffuses into that void, it 
enters with whatever energy it had when it entered, so it has a temperature.

Yes that is wise. Any and all pronouncements from the sidelines should await 
isotope analysis, since that is the way science works. 

 

In fact with no radioactivity, this looks as much like a version of a 
fractional hydrogen reaction - f/H – as nuclear. Isotope analysis could move it 
into the LENR camp - but as of now, no conclusion is justified. It will be 
noted by those who have shown a propensity to jump to conclusions, that the 
Rossi testing (Lugano) did reportedly turn up anomalous isotopes – and thus, 
the experiment is reputedly LENR. Since the Parkhomov experiment was based on 
Rossi, then the “expectation” is for the identical anomalous isotopes to turn 
up – pure Ni-62 and a warped lithium balance. But that is only an expectation.

 

FWIW - my expectation is different. IMHO - isotope testing will turn up no 
substantial level of isotope imbalance in either nickel or lithium, especially 
NOT the pure Ni-62 reportedly found in Lugano. 

 

But the bottom line is that without isotope data from Parkhomov, no one should 
jump to conclusions at this early stage.

2014-12-30 Thread David Roberson
You ask an interesting question about temperature due to being in an excited 
state for an individual atom.  I suppose it might be defined in that manner as 
including both motion and excess stored energy, but most of the time when I 
consider temperature it is a result of the relative motion of the atoms 
according to our frame of reference. 

If the atoms are in the form of hydrogen that has been ionized then the 
individual protons would come to rest relative to each other periodically.   Of 
course protons are tiny objects relative to the cavities that Mark is 
considering and plenty of them could be contained within one.  They would 
likely repel each other due to having the same positive charge which would 
allow the storage of energy among the group.  This energy storage would be 
comparable to energy stored within a spring since it attempts to force the 
protons apart.

The real questions are how close do the protons need to be to each other and 
for how long of a time frame before a reaction takes place.   If you have 4 
protons at rest and close together does that encourage a BEC  type of reaction? 
  I believe that this is what Mark is thinking, but I may have not understand 
him well.

I still tend to believe that some form of magnetic coupling is the key to LENR, 
perhaps involving the spins of the particles.  So far, I have not seen adequate 
evidence that BEC reactions have anything to do with LENR.  I hope that the 
mechanism will be understood soon as a consequence of the recent increased 
replication activity.

Mark, I see that I was not on the same page as you in this manner.  Sorry if I 
confused your concept. 

I want to understand what you are referring to by asking a couple of questions. 
 One, are you thinking of the protons(in the case of hydrogen) as being waves 
instead of particles?  If so, would not protons be extremely tiny wave packets 
due to their large mass?  In my estimation this would tend to localize them so 
that they look more like particles or the billiard balls that you mention.

I also wonder about how they would shed the thermal energy when viewed as a 
packet.  In what form does this energy leave the atom?  Kinetic energy and 
momentum can easily be shed to adjacent atoms if particles are involved. 

How do you take into account that there is repulsion between a number of 
protons trapped inside a void?  I would think that the forces pushing the 
protons apart would prevent them from having an opportunity to merge their 
waveforms due to the relatively large distances maintained.

I have considered what you are saying as being normal Mark.  Relative motion of 
an atom to itself is zero, so it is at zero kelvin as far as it knows.  When a 
second atom is added to the void, it becomes more complicated but the relative 
motion of the two must become zero many times per second as they collide and 
rebound within your assumed cavity.  During these brief intervals we have two 
atoms that are at zero Kelvin from their reference frame.  As you add more and 
more atoms to the mix the amount of time during which zero relative motion 
exists between them becomes smaller and less likely, but does occur.

As long as you keep the number of atoms relatively small that are required to 
react in the process of your choice, it will have an opportunity to happen many 
times per second inside each cavity.  Multiply that number by the number of 
possible active cavities within a large object and you get an enormous number 
of active sites that have the potential to react.

If only 4 atoms are required at zero Kelvin in order to react as you may be 
considering, it seems obvious that this will occur so often that a large amount 
of heat will be released by a system of that type.  When you realize that it 
seems to be very difficult to achieve an LENR device that generates lots of 
heat I suspect that the number of reacting atoms confined within the cavity is 
quite a bit greater than 4.  How many do you believe are required in order to 
combine and in what form is the ash?

On the other hand, if a reaction is virtually guaranteed once a modest number 
of atoms becomes confined inside the void, then the limiting factor might be 
that it becomes impossible to confine the required number under most 
conditions.  If this situation is the limiting factor, then a higher 
temperature could well allow more atoms of the reactants to enter into a void 
of the necessary type as more space become available when the cavity walls open 
with additional motion. 

I am not convinced that this type of reaction is the cause of LENR, but at 
least it should be given proper consideration.

Harry, if you use the billiard ball model, then the energy and momentum can be 
conserved.   Two cavities begin with a certain amount of energy and momentum 
before the collision and retain the same amounts after the collision.  How the 
energy and momentum are distributed in the end depends upon the initial system 
configuration and states.

We know billiard ball interactions works well for macro objects, but quantum 
mechanics theory does a wonderful job of obscuring the behavior of microscopic 
systems.  The trick is to figure out when and how to switch from one system to 
the other.

Suppose you imagine the atoms as stationary and imagine the cavities as in

Hi John:

To answer your two questions:

- Emphatically No

- Huh?  J

 

I will go into greater detail about what temperature is when replying to Bob’s 
response…

But to answer your second question, what is ‘hot’ ???  That’s an imprecise and 
relative word…

 

Start out with any atom which is at 0K, in other words, at its lowest energy 
state.  In my model, electrons and protons are an oscillation of some kind.  At 
this lowest energy state, these oscillators will have *very precise* 
frequencies and phase relationships between them.  Here’s another clue as to 
what this state is like:

 



http://newscenter.berkeley.edu/2012/06/08/theorem-unifies-superfluids-and-other-weird-materials/

 

“In Bose-Einstein condensates, for example, “you start with a thin gas of 
atoms, cool it to incredibly low temperature — nanokelvins — and once you get 
to this temperature, atoms tend to stick with each other in strange ways,” 
Murayama said.  “They have this funny vibrational mode that gives you one 
Nambu-Goldstone boson, and this gas of atoms starts to become superfluid again 
so it  ***CAN FLOW WITHOUT VISCOSITY FOREVER.***”

 

And this is a MOST important statement to understand what we are dealing with:

 

One characteristic of states with a low Nambu-Goldstone boson number is that 
very little energy is required to perturb the system. Fluids flow freely in 
superfluids, and 

 **atoms vibrate forever in Bose-Einstein condensates with just a slight 
nudge.*** 



 

These are CLUES as to what we are really dealing with when it comes to 
atoms/electrons/protons when NOT complicated by heat…  heat is NOT the norm in 
the universe.   This is where we should have started when trying to come up 
with theories to describe atoms and the subatomic particles… however, living in 
a world bathed in heat from the sun, our theories had to deal with the disorder 
caused by a multitude of heat quanta jumping around from atom to atom like a 
hot potatoes game; each person is an atom, and the hot potatoes are the heat 
quanta…

 

My goal with Dr. Storms, and with The Collective, is to get an accurate (or at 
least better) picture/understanding of what the ‘conditions’ are inside the 
NAE/voids/microcavities.  I would wager that it is very different from what 
most are thinking… and if I’m right, then trying to apply modern mainstream 
theories to how atoms are behaving inside the NAE is not going to be 
successful.  It’s a very different universe in there, with a very different set

My argument though would be that maybe rather than having zero temperature,
maybe quantum effects occurs due to enhancing the power of the quantum
vacuum.

Consider that what we have here is in a sense a signal from the quantum and
noise from temperature.

If we lower the temperature, the noise is reduced to the point that the
signal allows something extraordinary.

But what if the signal is being increased? If the energy of the quantum
vacuum is being enhanced sufficiently, then the signal might overpower the
temperature noise even at very high temperatures.

IMO this is far more likely since I know that such conditioning of the
vacuum is possible.

A polariton BEC is a different animal from a matter based BEC. It involves
a process of energy flows and balances. These two types a BEC are not
comparable as explained below.

See chapter 1.2

The polaritons have a lifetime that is typically comparable to or shorter
than thermalization times, giving them an inherently non-equilibrium
nature. Nevertheless, they exhibit many of the features that would be
expected of equilibrium Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs). The
non-equilibrium nature of the system raises fundamental questions as to
what it means for a system to be a BEC, and introduces new physics beyond
that seen in other macroscopically coherent systems.

One thing I learned from this reference is that the spin of a dark
polariton is 2. That is a lot of spin. A dark poloriton is in superposition
with holes rather than electrons.

the more their fate is certain, the more their peers can punish them, the

2014-12-30 Thread John Berry
In this email I mull over and ponder things, if this strikes you as too
long, please just read the below *bolded* and *italicized* *sentence*.

And to clarify, by enhancing the signal in the quantum vacuum, I mean
enhancing the wave function of the particle.

To use boats as an analogy, enhancing the signal might be achieved by
either increasing the density of the medium (water) around the boat so the
wave from that boat has more substance.

Or increasing the degree to which the boat creates waves, either by
increasing the degree of disturbance the boat creates, or the increasing
the disturbance it radiates.

But what is a wave function anyway???

Is a wave function not the degree of noise in the quantum field? And degree
of disorder.

If so, maybe it is that the temperature of space (zero point) must be made
to exceed the temperature of matter? Or exceed it by a certain degree.

Obviously the key is that the quantum phenomena gain in influence.
But the question is what is going on in the quantum medium for this to
occur, if we were to look at a quantum probability wave, are we looking to
increase the order or the disorder?

A collapsed wave has more than probability, it has certainty (dependant on
opinion on the Copenhagen interpretation).
So are we seeking a strong wave, but a strong wave must have a high degree
of uncertainty, and a low probability of being in any specific location.

*Huh, is it that heat causes collision, and collision collapses
probability?*
*Maybe that is a better way of looking at it?*

That makes so much sense, is this something that is widely known and I have
just discovered what I missed reading about? Or a fresh insight?

It is worth noting that while often ignored due to the fact that it points
to a different paradigm, it does seem that consciousness can effect quantum
level events.

Now consciousness must be occurring as some kind of wave in the quantum
medium, which is then able to effect the wave function of a particle.

There must be less woo-woo examples, but could the same
enhancement/influence of the quantum background not be produced by a CAT
and thereby increasing whatever a wave function is?

Even if he did not turn up anomalous isotopes, or if the isotopes turn out

Hi Bob,

 

RE: not receiving Axil’s response to mine…

I’m beginning to wonder if this is happening more often than we realize… if you 
still haven’t rcvd his post, let me know and I’ll fwd it to you.

 

RE: “Do these ideas differ from your concept”

Not sure how to answer that… It’s hard to discuss this topic when we really 
don’t know *exactly* what an electron is… yes, we have (abstract) mathematical 
models which allow us to describe and predict things with good accuracy, but 
there are still aspects which are not well understood.  The concept of electron 
‘shells’ is merely a result of the *limitations* of the instruments/technology 
we used to ‘observe’ or measure electron behavior.  My hypothetical models have 
physical properties; geometry; physical orientations.

 

Read this article to get an idea of just what temperature is, and how quanta of 
energy are absorbed and shed by individual atoms/ions…

 http://www.nist.gov/pml/div688/quantum-022311.cfm

 

First one ion is jiggling a little and the other is not moving at all; then 
the jiggling motion switches to the other ion. The smallest amount of energy 
you could possibly see is moving between the ions, explains first author 
Kenton Brown, a NIST post-doctoral researcher. We can also tune the coupling, 
which affects how fast they exchange energy and to what degree. We can turn the 
interaction on and off.

 

Visualize what is happening in the above experiment until it becomes ingrained 
in how you view the atomistic universe…

 

Heat is the degree of ‘shaking’ of individual atoms because they are 
‘out-of-balance’ internally.  Heat quanta cause the internal oscillators to be 
out of resonance with each other, thus their momentum vectors no longer 
balance, causing physical oscillation of the entire atom… sure, the atom wants 
to shed those quanta and return to resonance, but if it’s an atom in any larger 
assemblage, and not far from a source of heat/radiation, then any quanta it 
sheds is offset by absorption of some other atom’s shed heat quanta… so all the 
atoms in a given assemblage have, at any given instance in time, the same 
number of heat quanta, and that is what we measure as ‘heat’.

 

At this point in the discussion, assume there are NO atoms in the void/NAE, 
what are the possibilities as to what’s going in inside?

- a perfect vacuum, at 0K  (or CMB?)

- are there any E-fields or B-fields present???

- if the walls of the void are shedding heat (as IR photons) into the void, in 
large enough quantities, then one might be able to say that the void’s vacuum 
environment has some kind of energy level equivalent to the energy of the 
photons, but it is NOT in the form of atoms/matter; it is purely photonic in 
nature.

- what else could it be like inside that void???

Mark-- For some reason I have not received Axil's comments, however, the 
definition of coherence needs to be clarified.

 

I have always thought that coherence means that a quantum system exists of 
various matter with one quantum state and a single wave function.  In a BEC 
there is only only wave function that exists at a time.  That batch of 
matter--the BEC--acts like a single particle of matter.  Its coupling is with 
other wave functions (associated with other matter or EM fields) that overlap 
and may or may not change its wave function.  EM fields can be dynamic and 
moving field like in a photon or static fields like that associated with a 
group of static charges or coordinated moving charges. 

 

The idea of a strong pumping mechanism IMO means that the effective coupling 
happens when quantum state transitions (new wave functions) of the BEC change 
rapidly.  

 

Do these ideas differ from your concept.

A few of your statements may not be entirely true, depending on the prevailing 
conditions…

 

“Coherence in these half matter half light systems is a function on the 
strength of the pumping mechanism.

  Coherence can occur at any temperature as long as the incoming pumping energy 
is strong enough.

  When we have a BEC fed with incoming pumped nuclear energy, very high 
temperatures can be reached.”

 

The coherence that I’m referring to, of any significant scale, is highly 
unlikely in condensed matter above a few K.  Inside a void in a crystal 
lattice, is entirely a different thing.  If you’re referring to a BEC inside a 
void or microcavity, then I’m ok with the above statements…

Hi Dave!

Hope all is well in Robersonville…

 

Now to answer your questions…

 

“are you thinking of the protons (in the case of hydrogen) as being waves 
instead of particles?  If so, would not protons be extremely tiny wave packets 
due to their large mass?  In my estimation this would tend to localize them so 
that they look more like particles or the billiard balls that you mention.”

 

Yes, some kind of oscillatory entity or medium with a much smaller physical 
extent than electrons, and thus a much higher frequency of oscillation; orders 
of magnitude faster oscillations.  Ever play ping-pong?  Take the ping-pong 
ball, drop it on the table, and then take the paddle and restrict the balls 
upper bounce to a smaller and smaller height.  What happens??? The frequency of 
the ball’s bounce increases.  Can this analogy be applied to what we are seeing 
in the difference in oscillatory frequencies between electrons and protons.  
Something is restricting the physical extent of the oscillating 
medium/fluid/aether, resulting in a much higher freq’y of oscillation for 
protons compared to electrons.  The range of frequencies at which protons or 
electrons are oscillating also determines what energy range photons can be 
absorbed/emitted by those oscillators.  Gamma rays pass right thru the 
electrons as if they weren’t there, to finally interact with the nucleus… 
IR/visible/UV level photons (much slower frequencies than gamma) interact with 
electrons.  From outside the nucleus, protons most likely *appear* to behave 
more particle-like, however, I would posit that at their scale, its’ more like 
superfluid oscillators with some element of coupling between them which we call 
the strong force.

 

“I also wonder about how they would shed the thermal energy when viewed as a 
packet.  In what form does this energy leave the atom?”

 

I would think that protons, having a much higher frequency of oscillation, do 
not interact with heat (IR photons); or at least only under very specific 
conditions (the emission spectrum of hydrogen is the simplest, is it not?).  
The energy level of photons is a function of their frequency, and IR/Vis/UV 
photons are *much* more likely to interact with electrons, since there is a 
close harmonic relationship between them.  Is the absorption/emission spectrum 
of Hydrogen that of hydrogen atom, or the hydrogen ion?  If it’s the H-atom, 
then I would be curious as to whether a proton (i.e., a H ion which has lost 
its single electron), can interact with IR/Vis/UV light at all… if so, is that 
interaction direct interaction, or is there something mediating the transfer of 
energy between the much lower frequency photons and much higher frequency 
proton oscillator???

 

“How do you take into account that there is repulsion between a number of 
protons trapped inside a void?  I would think that the forces pushing the 
protons apart would prevent them from having an opportunity to merge their 
waveforms due to the relatively large distances maintained.”

 

In a system where atoms OR ions have been cooled down to near 0K, the normal 
repulsion of like-charges no longer applies, and the BEC forms.  A BEC happens 
spontaneously when the atoms reach a certain temperature.  IIRC, one of the 
articles I referenced in a previous post states that the BEC is formed using 
Cesium IONS!  Thus, once a collection of atoms OR IONS have shed all their heat 
quanta, the concept of ‘charge’ and attraction/repulsion no longer apply.  At 
least if the atoms/ions are all the same flavor.  

 

I’d be curious to see what would happen in a similar experiment using 50 Cs 
ions and 50 He ions!  Would it form two separate BEC ‘globs’, and what kind of 
interaction would be present between them?

 

I think it safe to say that one has to view the BEC as an oscillating fluid, 
NOT as billiard balls. I.e., the particle-like nature of the wave-particle 
duality is no longer operating/present when all heat quanta have been removed 
from a collection of atoms.

 

I can also see a very simple explanation as to why that is… again involving 
resonance/discordance.  Discordance between two colliding atoms manifests in 
more billiard-ball like (particle-like) behavior.  Thus, it is very unlikely to 
couple energy from one atom INTO the other atom.  Instead, there is a TRANSFER 
of momentum from one atom to the other, typical of the analogy used in basic 
physics classes of two billiard balls on a pool table…  

  But transfer of energy from one atom INTO the INTERNAL oscillators of 
another atom requires at least a close resonant/harmonic relationship. 

This also may tie in with Frank’s concept of velocity of sound in the nucleus 
and ‘matching impedances’ and all that.

 

When one considers that any atom higher in the chart than H, is an increasing 
complexity of internal oscillators, with varying coupling between them, and 
quanta of energy being absorbed and shed depending on what the instant

Interesting to speculate if voids in a crystal lattice migrate?  And what would 
happen if two migrating cavities ‘collide’…

Would it emit or absorb heat quanta???

 

At that scale, and considering the localized area of the colliding voids, I 
could envision a few possibilities.  The voids are caused by stresses and 
impurities in the crystal structure.  An internal dislocation (void) likely 
helps to relieve stress.  Given that we’re dealing with QM, your guess is as 
good as mine as to what would happen…  and we could both be right, at least 
some percentage of the time!  J  Perhaps the lattice rearranges to, in a sense, 
make the voids completely disappear, but then reappear at some other location 
depending on stresses within the lattice…

 

Does it emit/absorb heat?  Well, voids by themselves don’t couple/retain heat 
quanta, so there’s nothing to emit or capable of being absorbed.  IR photons 
might be flying around inside a void creating an ever-changing pattern of 
constructive/destructive interferences…

 I have considered what you are saying as being normal Mark.  Relative motion 
of an atom to itself is zero, so it is at zero kelvin as far as it knows.  When 
a second atom is added to the void, it becomes more complicated but the 
relative motion of the two must become zero many times per second as they 
collide and rebound within your assumed cavity.  During these brief intervals 
we have two atoms that are at zero Kelvin from their reference frame.  As you 
add more and more atoms to the mix the amount of time during which zero 
relative motion exists between them becomes smaller and less likely, but does 
occur.

As long as you keep the number of atoms relatively small that are required to 
react in the process of your choice, it will have an opportunity to happen many 
times per second inside each cavity.  Multiply that number by the number of 
possible active cavities within a large object and you get an enormous number 
of active sites that have the potential to react.

If only 4 atoms are required at zero Kelvin in order to react as you may be 
considering, it seems obvious that this will occur so often that a large amount 
of heat will be released by a system of that type.  When you realize that it 
seems to be very difficult to achieve an LENR device that generates lots of 
heat I suspect that the number of reacting atoms confined within the cavity is 
quite a bit greater than 4.  How many do you believe are required in order to 
combine and in what form is the ash?

On the other hand, if a reaction is virtually guaranteed once a modest number 
of atoms becomes confined inside the void, then the limiting factor might be 
that it becomes impossible to confine the required number under most 
conditions.  If this situation is the limiting factor, then a higher 
temperature could well allow more atoms of the reactants to enter into a void 
of the necessary type as more space become available when the cavity walls open 
with additional motion. 

I am not convinced that this type of reaction is the cause of LENR, but at 
least it should be given proper consideration.

Mark and Dave--

I would say the protons first come together as Cooper pairs.  This 
anti-parallel alignment may be assisted with magnetic fields associated with 
the cavity.  The paired protons never stop as has been suggested, since they 
never act like a billiard ball in a classical sense.  They are merely deflected 
from each other because of their repulsion.  The initial conditions establish 
the wave function that governs the entire batch of mass energy in the cavity, 
including any Li nuclei or electrons or photons that may be present.  This is 
what I would call a coherent system.  

IMO the concept of temperature  assumes a RANDOM collision and exchange of 
energy and momentum in a classical sense.  In contrast coherent systems are 
described by DEFINITE wave functions that may change from time to time with 
changes in boundary conditions.   

Thus, an atom being part of a coherent system or a separate coherent system 
itself, does not have a property, properly termed temperature.  Temperature 
only applies to a COLLECTION of coherent systems and is a continuous parameter, 
not a parameter made up of quanta.   Coherent systems have potential energy in 
the form of binding energy and kinetic energy as well as linear momentum and 
spin energy, but no temperature.

  You ask an interesting question about temperature due to being in an excited 
state for an individual atom.  I suppose it might be defined in that manner as 
including both motion and excess stored energy, but most of the time when I 
consider temperature it is a result of the relative motion of the atoms 
according to our frame of reference. 

  If the atoms are in the form of hydrogen that has been ionized then the 
individual protons would come to rest relative to each other periodically.   Of 
course protons are tiny objects relative to the cavities that Mark is 
considering and plenty of them could be contained within one.  They would 
likely repel each other due to having the same positive charge which would 
allow the storage of energy among the group.  This energy storage would be 
comparable to energy stored within a spring since it attempts to force the 
protons apart.

  The real questions are how close do the protons need to be to each other and 
for how long of a time frame before a reaction takes place.   If you have 4 
protons at rest and close together does that encourage a BEC  type of reaction? 
  I believe that this is what Mark is thinking, but I may have not understand 
him well.

  I still tend to believe that some form of magnetic coupling is the key to 
LENR, perhaps involving the spins of the particles.  So far, I have not seen 
adequate evidence that BEC reactions have anything to do with LENR.  I hope 
that the mechanism will be understood soon as a consequence of the recent 
increased replication activity.

of heat will be released by a system of that type.  When you realize that it 
seems to be very difficult to achieve an LENR device that generates lots of 
heat I suspect that the number of reacting atoms confined within the cavity is 
quite a bit greater than 4.  How many do

Wow,  Replication fails.   They had the dog bone so hot the steel stand
holding it was white hot.  But power in was equal to power out.   No
radiation.

I have a hunch that was too hot. As the proverbial shaggy dog was too
shaggy, since we are using dog-related images here.

I thought all they did was calibration.

Based on analysis of Lugano and Parkhomov work, excess heat begins at about
950C.  The MFMP dogbone core was measured to be over 1200C and no excess
heat was found.  The likely suspect is that the glue used to seal the
reactor tube failed, allowing a leak of the H2 when the LiAlH4 decomposed.
The experiment was shut down because going higher in temperature risked
burnout of the dogbone heater coil and the excess heat should already have
been seen at a lower temperature than the 1200C core temperature that was
achieved.

Ryan Hunt is going to try again.  We will try to contact Parkhomov to ask
what cement he used to seal his reactor. We are also looking at ways to
test the seals that we make.

As best as I could tell, it looks like this was a dud.  Heat in = Heat
