[Vo]:Re: A model of the proton to describe Holmlid's results

2015-10-14 Thread Bob Cook

Sorry for the delayed response to this thread--I was golfing.

The epo design of the proton is related to the Philippi Hatt model of the 
proton and neutron and I think the muon.  Hatt presented a paper for this 
model at ICCF-19.  As I have noted in previous threads, it correctly 
predicts the magnetic moments and rest masses of the stable particles.  I do 
not think it addresses quarks.  It does address the existence of matter in 
greater quantities than antimatter.


Jones suggests that its epo turtles all the way down.  I think Hatt's model 
of the neutron includes only 900 turtles and the proton model, 900.5.


Quarks being mythical and not having rest masses that can be measured are 
not considered.  They are not necessary to explain measurable events IMHO.

Aspden missed the important detail about binding energy showing up as
mass deficit, but still it is more than coincidental to Stubb's model.

One more point for John Berry about antimatter and matter coexisting in
the nucleus without annihilating. It turns out that the standard model
of physics has the quark and antiquark coexisting without annihilation,
so there is an exact precedent for this, already in place and no good
reason the muon and antimuon cannot do the same.

I haven't had the time to review exactly how Don Hotson imagined the
proton to be constructed, but epo pairs are likely to be involved – so
here too we have a similar situation of bound matter and antimatter
showing up as building blocks. Stubbs mentions something like this in
one of his papers but rejects electrons in favor of muons, yet the muon
itself could be imagined to be 103 epos plus an electron .

Instead of "turtles all the way down"… it's looking more and

RE: [Vo]:MMDD  Muon Mediated Deuteron DisintegrationJones--

I agree with your comments about muons and Cherenkov radiation.  One needs a 
sensitive spectrum analyzer to see the distinct bands of radiation in Cherenkov 
radiation.  A good spectrometer could do this with good accuracy around 
suspected energy for the muon interactions.  One must be careful to account for 
the refractive index of air in calculating such a spectrum to look for specific 
energies with a visual spectrometer.   It may be advisable to not use your eye 
to look for ultraviolet energy levels that may be radiated.

Ø  Could there be characteristic photon emission from transitions in muon 
shell levels similar to those from electrons and at what frequencies these 
occur. Could these be observed experimentally? If characteristic radiation can 
be seen from muon energy level transitions then it could be interesting to see 
if radiation of these frequencies occur astronomically… 


A fraction of typical Cherenkov radiation in fission reactor spent fuel pools 
comes from muons. Someone out there probably knows the exact  signature 
frequency of light originating from muons in that situation, both the 
initiating frequency and the downshifted, but I do not. This signal is detected 
astronomically as well. There are Cherenkov detectors made specifically for 
atmospheric detection.

And yes – this signature could probably be used as further evidence of muons - 
by replicators of Holmlid – most of whom do not have access to muon detectors. 
Although observed to be blue, most Cherenkov radiation is actually in the 
ultraviolet spectrum, downshifted to visible blue by the water interaction.

It would be interesting to position a “glow tube” experiment in a water bath 
and try to isolate the characteristic signal of muons using filters and 
spectrometers, but the signal could be overwhelmed by the intensity of IR.





[Vo]:The function of the substrate

2015-10-14 Thread Axil Axil
One of the major functions that LENR must fulfill is the reception,
concentration, and amplification of energy from the external environment
and the conversion of that power into magnetism. That external energy is
light in one form or another.

In LENR engineering, the structure that first captures the light energy is
the lattice substrate. Without this substrate, LENR does not happen unless
the source of light is very powerful. Three examples of this substrate and
their associated systems are as follows: In the Rossi’s E-Cat, the Lattice
is the 100 micron nickel particle that Rossi produces in fuel
preprocessing. This particle is an antenna that optimally receives infrared
light(heat) and converts this light energy into dipole motion. This
electron motion produces an alternating current at high frequency.

The next example is Holmlid’s iridium powder holder that holds iron oxide
potassium particles. This metal lattice optimally absorbs light in the
green-blue to UV range. This lattice will also convert this high frequency
light into alternating current.
The structure that converts and amplifies this alternating current into
magnetism is nano particles of hydrogen, potassium, or lithium. This
rydberg matter are nanowires that only allows this alternating current to
flow in one direction. This EMF power can only collect into balls of power.
These particles also mix electrons and light photons together to form
polaritons. At the tips of the nanowires and the points of were they touch
each other, vortexes of polaritons form these rings of EMF are call
solitons of polaritons (SPP). It is these rings of EMF energy that store
large amounts of power and produce magnetic beams that cause the LENR
effect. They are black holes of EMF where energy goes in but does not come
out.

Another antenna method that seems to work is the metal foam powder holders
that DGT came up with. This network of fine nickel wires acts like a
backplane that caries the received EMF produced by the spark that DGT used
to pump EMF power into the 5 micron nickel particles. DGT also produced
rydberg matter which generated the SPPs.

Without the lattice that receives and directs the EMF into the nanopowder,
a powerful light source such as a laser will be powerful enough to produce
LENR in just nanopowder alone.
This particular behavior was observed in experiments where a laser
irradiated gold nanopowder dissolved in water. The uranium and thorium
salts that was dissolved in that water underwent a fission reaction. This
says that muons where produced to canalize fission instead of neutrons.

On the other hand, Holmlid does not need a laser to produce muons because
the iridium powder holder is an antenna that is sensitive enough to receive
and concentrate light from his lab’s florescent lights. But the gold powder
which does not have a lattice substrate to help it, would not react to
generate muons using just room lighting; these nanoparticles require a
powerful light source like a laser to produce the magnetic power strong
enough to generate muons.

There are any number of way this can happen, including a dynamical Casimir
effect (after all, we are dealing with geometries which are clearly within
the Casimir range) ... but the most provocative possibility comes from a
"hybrid" viewpoint.

Mills suggests that about 54.4 eV can be derived from the loss of angular
momentum of electron at the second level of redundancy. Perhaps Holmlid has
shown us (by improving on Mills theory)  that when this level is reached,
the UV energy becomes internalized much of the time, no radiation occurs,
and the species shrinks all the way to "ultradense" with no further emission
of any kind.

... which kinda negates the prior conclusion that "both cannot be correct."

Maybe Holmlid and Mills are both partly correct in a way which goes a long
way towards explaining everything in LENR.

I think all such events were associated with spontaneous fission of U-235.  I 
do not know if physics calculations for non-critical neutrons were consistent 
with the spontaneous fission of U-235 measured in a non-energetic environment.  

I do believe the neutrino flux from the sun seems to influence radioactive 
decay.  It may have had an influence on U-235 fission also.  I do not think the 
data on spontaneous fission was accurate enough to discern the possible small 
effects an electric current on reactor fuel.  All tests were well grounded to 
handle static buildup as I recall.

Hello Axil,
I admit I do not understand much of the nuclear theories.
However, I think I have somewhat of an understanding of what you say about
the substrate and how it is sensitive to a certain frequency.
I have asked before; why is there not a million replication of the Holmlid

It seems very straight forward or is there something I miss?? Something,
which prevent good experimenters to replicate his experiment.

Steven,

Thanks for providing a little further explanation.

 

I looked thru the postings and did not see where I referred to your postings
as being 'rants'. none.  I also never said it wasn't informative, only very
one-sided.  Agree that the world is full of 1-sided POVs, and I didn't have
a prob with your posting, however, for once, I happened to feel compelled to
comment and include additional data to provide a more complete view of the
overall issue.  Aside from my first sentence, did my contribution add to the
overall value of that topic???  Did it further inform anyone who bothered to
read it?  At least one did. Lennart! J  He must be bored!!

 

If we go back 4  to 6 years, you've made quite a number of OT postings about
the evil repubs in your state of Wisconsin. and that's perfectly fine!  I
even started to read most of them when they appeared.  I don't care if you
want to spend your time doing that. and certainly didn't try to dissuade
you.   This one time I happened to feel like commenting on it.  Sorry, next
time I'll try to start my 2 cent posting in a more benign manner.

 

"As for the rest, to be honest I'm just no longer motivated enuf to go back
and explain myself."

I may be weird, but given all that we've expressed on this, that statement
seems to say, "I know I'm right and not interested in entertaining other
opinions or trying to understand where the other person is coming from."  It
assumes that there was no validity whatsoever to my explanation as to how my
impression of all your angry-at-GovWalker-Repubs political postings led me
to perhaps phrase it the way I did. now who's being patronizing???  OK, you
got me back. 

 

RE: your OT postings over the years about political/work-related
tribulations.

You say first impressions count!  And I agree. however, perceptions are as
important, if not more so.  I sincerely don't think you realize that posting
such strong, angry, postings on a public forum causes people to develop a
perception of who you are. and don't you think that that influences them
when they go to interact with you??  It most certainly does!  Any
politician/manager/leader will tell you perception is everything; not that I
agree with that entirely, but it is a very important aspect to how people
treat you; at least, until they interact enough to know you on a more
personal level.

 

I wish I had more time to participate in the Vort sand box. things are
definitely heating up in LENR-land. finally!!  Unfortunately, I'm busy with
getting the noninvasive glucose tech restarted.  Have inked a deal with a
gent in the Bay Area who has raised some seed $ for a validation study. keep
fingers crossed that we can get series-A funding, and if the validation
study results are as good as the preclinicals, then I know we won't have any
trouble raising what we need. diabetics have been hoping for 30 years for a
truly painless glucometer. I am doing what I can to make that happen.

I'm impressed by your earnestness in wanting to get clarification. I'll just

speak, was the first comment you made, which was:

> at least, I hope you do.

 

As the old say'in goes: First impressions count.

 

Granted, it may not have been your intention to do so but that was a
patronizing thing to say to anyone. So what if it's a one-sided article. So
what if I posted that "one-side" article out to Vort Land. The world if full
of one-sided POVs, and inevitably someone's one-sided POV (or article) is
not going to align with one's personal stash of approved POVs. That doesn't
make that so-called one-sided POV any less informative.

 

As for the rest, to be honest I'm just no longer motivated enuf to go back
and explain myself. Based on other comments you made I get the impression
much of anything else I might say pertaining to the political arena would be
interpreted as yet another leftist "rant" coming from me. You did call some
of my prior comments "rants". But, enuf of interpreting my POVs. Let me put
it another way. maybe you were more accurate than I was on some of the
points you were trying to make, and perhaps I was more accurate on some of
the other points. As for me, I would prefer to find common ground on what we
can agree on rather than what we disagree on. Energy tends to be expended
more efficiently when we work in a sand box of common ground.

 

So, c u back in the Vort Sand box. Perhaps the next time we connect will end
up on the same side.

RE: [Vo]:MMDD .... Muon Mediated Deuteron Disintegration

2015-10-14 Thread Stephen Cooke
I really enjoy browsing this site, the discussions are amazing. 
I recently on LENR Forum had some similar thoughts but since I am more an 
enthusiast than and far from a serious physicist so they are pretty speculative 
and I appreciate from the discussions here that there are also all sorts of 
nucleus and nucleon state energy and conservation issues to be taken into 
account. I wonder if they are relevant though so i thought to copy it here:
I recently read an article on Space Daily about atoms during a 
supernova:spacedaily.com/reports/How_do_…ernova_explosion_999.htmlIt talks 
about X-ray interactions in Supernova producing an exotic plasma state where 
the inner electrons are ejected from atoms. A supernova is obviously a 
different environment than that discussed in Leif Holmlid experiment and the 
article does not talk at all about either cold or hot fusion but I wonder if 
the high temperatures and energies produced by the lasers might be creating a 
similar environment on a local scale that has a similar atomic effect that LENR 
can then maybe take advantage of.I could not help wondering if this could play 
a part in Rydberg matter formation. Also if the inner vacancies from the 
ejected photons could capture a muon before the outer electrons rearrange and 
fill these positions.Note according to the article high energy X-rays are 
produced as a consequence of this effect which i understand are not seen in 
LENR experiments. I wonder if the XUV light seen in sonoluminescence 
experiments and by Mills is at similar frequencies?Could there be 
characteristic photon emission from transitions in muon shell levels similar to 
those from electrons and at what frequencies these occur. Could these be 
observed experimentally?If characteristic radiation can be seen from muon 
energy level transitions then it could be interesting to see if radiation of 
these frequencies occur astronomically, either in supernovae or other energetic 
shocks and boundaries such as associated with different parts of solar flares. 
Given the muon half life if the radiation occurs well way from known sources 
such as high in the solar corona rather than just close to the photosphere then 
it may tell us something about how and where they are formed.I like Axils ideas 
about the SPP directly producing the radiation but on a slightly different tack 
I wonder if in the absence of lasers could the SPP mentioned by Axil generate 
similar disruptions to the inner electrons either directly or magnetically or 
through the radiation generated by the SPP solitons?If muons are seen do we 
know if they are positive or negative or do we see both, I suppose in order to 
form muonic atoms and allow muon catalysed fusion they would need to be 
negative? I suppose even if muons could be generated from some process perhaps 
involving decay, interaction or resonance of virtual pions in the nucleus quite 
a lot of energy would be needed? Would the high temperatures of 50 to 500 MK be 
sufficient for this? Am I right in saying this is equivalent thermally to about 
4.3 to 43 keV? This seems quite low to generate pions or muons. Or is the 
specific laser frequency also important?Once produced in a nucleus would 
negative muons wave function naturally move into the available orbital due to 
overlap with the nucleus or would conservation of momentum require them to be 
ejected?If negative muons are produced from a negative pion in the nucleus I 
suppose conservation rules would require a Neutron to change to a Proton. If 
these come from the deuterium this implies it forms He2 + which I suppose would 
immediately decay to 2 Protons or by beta + decay back to deuterium. Do we see 
a change in protium/deuterium ratio consistent with this?Looking further I read 
that beta decay rates are sometimes modified in highly ionised atoms and 
sometimes bound beta decay where an emitted election is transferred to a bound 
state can occur. phy.pku.edu.cn/~jcpei/meeting/201408/litvinov.pdfI wonder if 
this could also occur for muons generated from pion decay in the nucleus, 
particularly as the orbitals for muons have greater overlap with the nucleus 
when compared to electron orbitals. Could it be that atoms in Rydberg state or 
with ionised lower orbitals are more likely to generate muons or capture 
negative muons from a nucleus? I suppose this would have been previously 
observed if this is the case, however. I'm not sure how conservation of 
momentum is respected in bound beta decay however maybe the momentum not 
included in the neutrino is taken up by the atom. I suppose any positive muons 
produced would be ejected and form muonium. Still it is difficult to account 
for the energy required if they do come from the nucleus. Edit: I wonder if to 
some extent all nucleons exist in a cloud of one or more virtual mesons 
according to the quark composition of the nucleon and how their wave functions 
would behave and interact. I wonder if a highly charged

Hi Lennart:

Appreciate the comments/thots about campaign financing… and I think Steven and 
I are on the same page when it comes to that… too much $ to BOTH parties.  I 
also agree that the entire campaign process is antiquated.  200 years ago it 
took a few weeks for information to ‘gallop’ across the US, and a month to 
‘sail’ across the Atlantic.  Today, it gets across the *world* in a matter of 
*seconds*… I would be just fine with abolishing the political party system.  
But even with a new campaign process with numerous debates, and getting the $ 
out of it as well, many candidates will still say what they know you want to 
hear to get your vote, because they seek the power that those positions give 
them.

 

RE: your comment…

“Steven at least has said that he does have reservations with some democratic 
ideas. I think you Mark have to ( sorry for assuming but…).

 

To clarify, I do not strongly identify with either of the two major political 
parties… As I stated, I’m more socially liberal, and fiscally conservative.  
Does that not imply that I have reservations about the political ideals within 
each party?  I’m not sure I understand… 

 

You state, “I think you Mark have to…”   I have to what???  Complete the

Mark and Steven,

I think you both miss the point. 'You think the dollars spent on election 
campaigns are a non-issue.

I think it is terrible to spend money to be informed of two candidates with 
almost the same agenda. Yes we spend money - if nothing else we talk about tax 
free contributions.

More important. Back in times when the candidates had to travel by train and 
speak to small groups from the last cars platform there was no other way to 
bring the message out. Today we have the internet and we have ways to 
communicate like Youtube, GoToMeeting etc. We would be better off having a 
group of highly qualified experts providing us the information and then we 
could take our positions as a person. I know you are going to say that there 
are too many new laws and we would all be sitting there trying to decide what 
to say or the votes would be poorly based (just like today). I think that by 
bringing most decision to a local level and limit the number of new laws 
(having limited number of experts), would make it work.

Steven at least has said that he does have reservations with some democratic 
ideas. I think you Mark have to ( sorry for assuming but . . ). I cannot 
imagine there is anyone person who would identify his believes with either 
party.

As an example on my ballot locally it gives me expert analysis saying how it 
will impact cost and how it will impact future security, health care or  . . .. 
Even if I am not so well informed about the details I can make up my mind about 
what I think would be better.

In my opinion you are on the same side Mark and Steven. On the easy side:) Or 
go with the flow.

[Vo]:Ólafsson (Goldwater) LENR Public Talk in the San Francisco Bay Area, Thursday, Oct 22, 10:30 AM - Topics: Muons, Ultra-dense Hydrogen (MFMP)

2015-10-14 Thread Mark Jurich


Public Announcement

 On Thursday, October 22nd, 2015 (10:30 AM PDT), Sveinn Ólafsson of the Science
Institute,  Physics Department,  University of Iceland will present a  40 minute
seminar/colloquium at SRI International  (SRI, founded as Stanford Research  In-
stitute) in Menlo Park, California entitled, "Ultra-dense Hydrogen and Low Ener-
gy Nuclear Reactions"  (LENR),  representing research he has conducted with Leif
Holmlid  from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden.  The talk will be geared to-
wards a  scientific/technical audience  but Sveinn will make every effort to ad-
dress those that have little or no previous knowledge of Muon/Particle Detection
and Ultra-dense Hydrogen. For about 10 minutes after Sveinn’s presentation, Alan
Goldwater representing the Martin Fleischmann Memorial Project  (MFMP, headed by
Bob Greenyer), will present experimental work/techniques being conducted  on re-
producing/replicating results obtained from  researchers such as Andrea Rossi  &
Alexander Parkhomov. The final  10 minutes of the 1 hour colloquium will be open
to asking questions.

 Although there is no  direct evidence at this time that  Ultra-dense Hydrogen/
Materials are responsible for the  replication attempts being conducted by MFMP,
the project  is closely considering  these possible materials  in their  ongoing
open-ended research,  as a cause of anomalous heat in replicating  those experi-
ments,  amongst other explanations.  So far, there is no conclusive  evidence of
anomalous heat by MFMP.

 Originally,  these talks were  planned to be held  at  IBM's Almaden  Research
Center in San Jose, CA hosted by myself,  but a change in venue has occurred and
Fran Tanzella  at SRI International  has graciously accepted  hosting the  talks
there.

 If you  would like to attend the colloquium,  Fran says the conference room is
available  directly from a parking  lot outside the SRI  fenced area.  Since the
conference room holds ~75 people we don’t think space will be an issue,  however
if you e-mail  me with your name/etc., I will eventually pass on a list of names
of attendees  (responding back to you) to Fran.  An arrival time of around 10 AM
should be appropriate.  Here is a Google Maps link  (870 Laurel St., Menlo Park)
at the entrance to SRI’s Building G parking lot:

https://www.google.com/maps/place/870+Laurel+St,+Menlo+Park,+CA+94025/@37.4552459,-122.176274,18z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x808fa4ad8270a115:0xcff2fac60e770ffe

 Attendees should NOT come to either the front desk (333 Ravenswood Ave) or the
employee entrance.  If there is no parking in the Building G  parking lot, there
usually is some across the street at the Menlo Park city parking lot.

 Here are identical links to the  actual SRI International Announcement  of the

FYI:

 Sveinn will be presenting his research (which he has collaborated on with Leif
Holmlid),  on October 20th, in a 20 minute talk,  at the American Vacuum Society
Society (AVS) Meeting, San Jose Convention Center, in San Jose,  California.  It
is my understanding that he will also be attending the 2015  Fall Meeting of the
APS Division of Nuclear Physics in Santa Fe, NM from Oct 28th-31st.

 Alan will most  likely discuss  current/future experiments  to be conducted by
MFMP during  later conversations.  The  next planned GlowStick Run  is scheduled
shortly after these talks in Santa Cruz,  and will be broadcast live (as always,
along with data)  on the Internet.  Before this next major experiment, a "shake-
out run"  may be performed live.  Stay tuned to the MFMP  Web Pages for more de-

Peter I liked your last paragraph and feel a little guilty I have not
provided much input although I promised.
As both you and I learnt over the years - there is nothing new under the
sun.
The article tells in many words what George Washington formulated very
short: (I cannot find the quote so it is my words and his meaning.)
1. To delegate you need to know exactly what you want as a result.
2. You need to communicate that vision to someone you think is able to
produce result in the vision.
3. If that person accept the 'job' then you have to agree on the time frame
and what you want to see as the result (the vision ) at that time.
4. Then you have to give the person you selected all the resources you have
to fulfil the result.
5. Then you have to stay totally away from the 'job'. TOTALLY.
6. Finally you have to take delivery.

Do I think the article is too wordy. Not at all. It has been written books
on the subject and still it is hard for most of us to understand the
message and the consequences.

Here are some:
1. We seldom make our vision CRYSTAL CLEAR. 80% fails for reason described
in the article.
2. In addition we communicate the vision poorly. I know you talk about
glasshouse:) Another 50% goes away.
3. Is the easiest part. Here only 10% goes away.
4. Oh this is hard. Just let someone use all your resources. Most of us try
to keep at least 20% so still have the upper hand. 90% goes away again.
5. This is where almost all fails. We want to help so we interfere. What we
really do is taking the 'job' back. Another 80% goes.
6. Even here we fail but less than most elsewhere - only 20% goes away.
In the end it is mostly Pareto's law but repeated and therefore only 1 in
200 are leadership material.

So Vorts read the article. It is very good and it applies to most things in
life. Incl. of LENR.

Re: [Vo]:Electron-mediated alpha decay in quasi-stable isotopes

2015-10-14 Thread Bob Higgins
Note that Holmlid is reporting particles with ">10 MeV/u", or 10 MeV per
atomic unit.  This is a measure of velocity.  Holmlid measured particles
that traversed 0.64 meters in 13 ns.  This corresponds to a velocity of
4.9E7 m/c or 0.16c.

This is NOT a measured ENERGY.  If he also measured the energy, then he
could have solved for the particle mass and would have had a much easier
time identifying the particle.  IF - you PRESUME that the particle is a
muon, then the energy of the muon would have been 1.4 MeV.

In Holmlid's papers, I don't see where the measured
beta-decay-causing-particles he measured in his scintillator (that he
concluded were muons), were correlated to the particles that he measured as
having a transit time of 13ns.  I think Holmlid's LEAP was that the
particles measured in his muon detection setup were the same as the
particles he measured with the 13ns transit delay.  He admitted that there
were lots of particles and he tried experimentally to sort them out.
Suppose there were just a few muons...

What if, instead, the particles detected in his scintillator were particles
uncorrelated to the 13ns transit, for example, low velocity (thermal)
neutrons.  These could also produce a beta signature in his scintillator,
but the velocity would not correlate to the measured 13ns particles.

I didn't read that carefully.  Thank you for the clarification.  My
assumption is that they are definitely not muons. ;)  (Note that there are
1e13 of these things per laser pulse, whatever they are -- quite a few.)

Needless to say, if the particles end up being resolved to baryons, we're
dealing with energies that correspond to nuclear reactions.  Another
possibility, of course, is a bad experimental procedure that is not
revealing a piece of equipment that is on the fritz.

I see now.  He's using time-of-flight spectrometry, something I have little
familiarity with.  He's saying that there are particles with flight times
of 12-100 ns, and this is consistent with particles with energies of 2-14
MeV u-1, etc.

It seems like his difficulties could be resolved if he used a second
measurement technique.

"Previous results from laser-induced processes in ultra-dense deuterium
D(0) give conclusive evidence for ejection of neutral massive particles
with energy >10 MeV u−1. Such particles can only be formed from nuclear
processes like nuclear fusion at the low laser intensity used."

Holmlid is making and assumption based on the very high energy of the
neutral particles. These particles are fragments of the Rydberg matter. It
is not determined where the energy imparted to those particles came from.
Holmlid just assumes that a low powered laser cannot produce the explosion
of a rydberg crystals. You know what happens when people assume things.

If you're referring to the mainstream literature, I think the 1.5 MeV
particles would be in the high-energy Boltzmann tail.  If you're referring
to p. 8 of Holmlid's paper [1], there are the open questions that Bob has
alluded to.  If those signals are resolved to protons and deuterons, as

I noticed that Robert Gordon Britt, the author of the patent, did not refer
to Papp's patents as prior art.  I was unable to determine where the energy
for the electrical arc was coming from; I assume he's just plugging the
engine into an external power source, and that any locomotive power-out

At a minimum, assuming Britt's patent was for a working device, it shows
that the basic idea of an engine that uses noble gases is sound, if we were
in doubt that Papp's engine was a real engine.

This uses UV to produce plasma expansion just like Holmlid does.

Here I think you're referring to this study [1], which you've referred to
several times in the past [e.g., 2] (please correct me if I have the wrong
study).  I didn't appreciate this paper until now.  The authors present an
interesting set of experimental results, in which, at face value, the decay
of thorium and its daughters was induced.  They think it might have
occurred through focusing of the laser that was used.

Another possibility is that it was induced by electron screening decreasing
the Coulomb barrier width to alpha decay, and by increased electron
presence in the nucleus, thereby increasing the electron capture and beta
decay rates.  Here are some relevant reactions of these kinds:

% python scripts/reactions.py "Hg,Ta,Au,Th" --ascii --model induced-decay

Note the presence of gold among the parents.

They saw increased gamma activity.  Perhaps this activity went back to the
daughters of beta decay reactions being populated in excited states.  They
saw a hydrogen isotope effect, where irradiation under D2O resulted in
decreased gamma activity while H2O did not.  I have no idea what this would
come from.  (Note that this is different than saying that fewer decays took
place; perhaps more were to the ground state when D2O was used.)

What would cause increased electron presence in the nucleus?  Perhaps the
excitation of orbital electrons to s-shells by the laser frequency.
Electrons in s-shells don't have a node in the nucleus and hence spend a
portion of their time there.

RE: [Vo]:MMDD .... Muon Mediated Deuteron Disintegration

2015-10-14 Thread Jones Beene
From: Stephen Cooke 

*   Could there be characteristic photon emission from transitions in
muon shell levels similar to those from electrons and at what frequencies
these occur. Could these be observed experimentally? If characteristic
radiation can be seen from muon energy level transitions then it could be
interesting to see if radiation of these frequencies occur astronomically. 

A fraction of typical Cherenkov radiation in fission reactor spent fuel
pools comes from muons. Someone out there probably knows the exact
signature frequency of light originating from muons in that situation, both
the initiating frequency and the downshifted, but I do not. This signal is
detected astronomically as well. There are Cherenkov detectors made
specifically for atmospheric detection.

And yes - this signature could probably be used as further evidence of muons
- by replicators of Holmlid - most of whom do not have access to muon
detectors. Although observed to be blue, most Cherenkov radiation is
actually in the ultraviolet spectrum, downshifted to visible blue by the
water interaction.

It would be interesting to position a "glow tube" experiment in a water bath
and try to isolate the characteristic signal of muons using filters and
spectrometers, but the signal could be overwhelmed by the intensity of IR.
