I looked at the math again.  The 5 uS was for the full 4pi steradians.  It
would be more like 0.4 uS for 1 steradian.  A person would have to be
really chubby or really close to subtend 1 steradian.

Re: [Vo]:Implied personal radiation dose ?

2016-02-26 Thread Axil Axil
The so called Erzion phenomenon was discovered in a series of electrolytic
experiments marked by unexplained changes in a pool of cooling water
outside of the catalytic cell. After 40 minutes of electrolytic cell
operation, water on the tungsten anode side of the cooling vessel started
loosing its transparency.

Water on the stainless steel cathode of the pool of cooling water remained
transparent, at the same 40 C temperature. A sample of bubbly water,
removed from the anode side, was tested for induced gamma radioactivity. No
such radioactivity was found in it; the sample became transparent after 24
hours. Attempts to reproduce the long-term loss of cooling water
transparency with other electrolytes, and under different electrical
discharge conditions, were not successful. But the effect was highly
reproducible when experimenting with the tungsten-anode electrolytic cell
and the 7 M KF electrolyte containing 50% of heavy water.

[image: Thumbnail]


That cooling water on the outside of the electrolytic cell's glass reactor
shell at the right side (see Figure 1) is close to the anode while cooling
water on the left side is close to the cathode. The disappearance of
bubbles, after the electrolysis, was very slow (half-life of about 10 hrs).
Attempts to explain the phenomenon in terms of cavitation, and other
ultrasonic effects, were not successful. The only satisfactory explanation
was possible within the framework of the erzion model. Authors believe that
bubbles are produced through the action of neutral Erzions.

The Erzons phenomenon behavior is consistent with the magnetic based Exotic
Neutral Particle(ENP). To begin with, the glass container is transparent to
the magnetically based ENPs both optically and magnetically. The LENR
reaction that keeps the ENPs viable produce the vapor that forms the water
bubbles. The ENPs become energetically self sufficient in the water of the
cooling pool where the ENPs remain viable for hours.

If the Erzons phenomenon is produced by magnetically based ENPs, an iron
plate placed just on the outside of the glass wall adjacent to the anode
would prevent the ENPs from exiting the glass electrolytic cell. With the
ENPs blocked from travel, bubble production would be eliminated.


The Erzons could be HRM.

If the radiation signal in the recent MFMP experiment holds up what does this 
infer as a dose for the person doing the experiment? 
Clearly that person is both a much larger ‘detector’, likely often closer to 
the source, and has a long exposure from this and many 
similar experiments. It would seem likely the ‘human detector dose’ is some 
orders of magnitude more than what the detector has 
recorded.

[Vo]:Solitonic / Oscillonic Stimulation

2016-02-26 Thread Vibrator !
As a complete novice in all things LENR i've been following the
developments of recent years with interest and optimism, not least via the
very informative discussions here.

However i have one small area of interest that might be relevant, which i
haven't seen mentioned elsewhere:

 It concerns how aggregate / particulate media interact with stimulant
bandwidths, as opposed to just discrete frequencies.

The stimulation in question may be EM or mechanical, but the aim would be
the same - to excite resonances across a range of interdependent scales
simulatneously in the same medium; that interdependency relating to a
specific bandwidth...

It's octave bandwiths that are of interest - oscillons (cousins of
solitons) resonate with aggregate frequencies lying in factors of two to
the single particle resonant freq., so there's a kind of coherent scale
invariance to the resulting structure, with larger groups of particles
resonating at half the frequency of groups half their size.

A three octave range (ie. F, 2F, 4F) - so three simultaneous freqs at equal
amplitude - which could then be swept up and down while maintaining that
bandwidth ratio, would be an adequate test of the idea (i'd hesitate to
call it a hypothesis, more like a hunch)..

Similarly, i'm curious if this same principle has been tested in
superconductivity research - solitons obviously have potential relevance
there.

I only mention this in response to reports that the MFMP team are
considering testing sound / phonon stimulation: why settle for making waves
when you could try for solitons (or their 3D counterparts)..?   For a very
modest increase in complexity, this could significantly widen the net for
interesting low entropy states across a given freq range.

Re: [Vo]:Electron plasma frequency

2016-02-26 Thread Stephen Cooke
I'm wondering if highly hydrogenated or doped materials such as Metals, CNT, 
activated BNNT etc. in particular those with high concentrations of atomic 
hydrogen with high consent rations of valance electrons would have much higher 
electron density than normal metals. If so I suppose the plasma frequency 
(associated with evanescent waves as well as Bulk and Surface Plasmons) would 
be higher also. 

Photons with frequencies below the plasma frequency are evanescent. If there is 
an energy transition in a nucleus it emits a gamma. What happens if this 
transition occurs with an energy and frequency below that of the plasma 
frequency? Is it trapped as an evanescent wave ? Or is the transition inhibited 
some how?

The One very important concept that Ken Shoulders never stumbled upon was
the polariton. He thought that the EV was made up of electrons which are
fermions only but they are made up of bosons called polaritons. Polaritons
are and entangled mixture of photons and electrons. The EV can store an
unlimited number of polaritons because they are bosons. A collection of
fermions are restricted in size based on the Pauli Exclusion Principle.

This all means that LENR is based on bosons which can concentrate in
unlimited numbers. The other important ability that polaritons have is that
they organize their collective spins to produce a monopole field of
unlimited strength. A soliton of polaritons is a analog monopole
quasiparticle. Monopoles can disrupt protons and neutrons and produce
mesons from them.

There is no correlation. In some cases they have been anti-correlated.
Cells have produced radiation and neutrons, then heat and no radiation,
then radiation again. If true, I suppose that means radiation somehow
resembles incomplete combustion that produces smoke rather than an open
flame.

Ed Storms thinks that radiation is a side effect of the cold fusion process
that happens sometimes but not other times. He thinks the neutrons may be
from fractofusion.

There may be a causative connection between radiation and heat. Perhaps one
causes the other, or there is a common cause. But there is no correlation
and definitely no fixed ratio.

That is unhelpful, but facts are facts, even when they frustrate the
theorist.

I do not think this is caused by inadequate instrumentation.

On the contrary, the storage of energy is at the core of the LENR reaction.
Photons are stored in the SPPs and on hydrogen Rydberg matter. X-rays
occurs when SPPs release their energy. When the SPP are coherent in a BEC,
heat photons are released.

If the BEC of SPP is destroyed, all the energy stored in the BEC would be
released in a burst. I predict that when excess heat is produced in a LENR
experiment, if a very large magnetic field is applied to that BEC, all the
stored energy will be released as XUV and x-rays in a burst as the BEC is
destroyed by the externally applied magnetic field.

A topolariton is a one way flow of photons into a topological defect in a
metal. All the photons move to that point and collect. They form a soliton.
A solution is an huge single wave. When heat and gamma enter this soliton,
their frequencies are upshifted and downshifted by mutual interference to
match the frequency of the soliton.

This soliton is the SPP. When the soliton is not coherent, its life is
short and it breaks up and all the photons are released can then be seen to
the far field. The wavelengths of the solitons take on random values as the
 solitons are formed and destroyed at random. This is where the random
frequency distribution seen in the MFMP results come from.

When a condensate of the SPPs form, the SPPs become metastable and they
release energy as hawking radiation which is thermal. The solitons leak
their energy into the vacuum. No gamma level EMF is released because the
photons are constrained indefinitely in a dark mode.

Effects of Vacuum Fluctuation Suppression on Atomic Decay Rates”.

http://arxiv.org/pdf/0907.1638v1.pdf

This theory when put in simple terms connects negative vacuum energy with
radioactive decay rates.

When an imbalance is produced in the vacuum energy by increasing vacuum
energy in one spot in the vacuum, a corresponding reduction must apply to
another spot of the vacuum. The increase in EMF photons produce this
imbalance and that imbalance produces changes in the nuclear decay rates.

I reference nanoplasmonic based experiments here to show how the
confinement of polaritons on the surface of gold nanoparticles: a
nanoplasmonic mechanism can change the half-life of U232 from 69 years to 6
microseconds. It also causes thorium to fission without neutrons. This
shows that strong EMF concentration is a cental part of the LENR reaction.

The interpretation (or in this case the mis-interpretation) of the metric can 
me more important than the metric itself.

For instance, as Rothwell says, “There are many reports of experiments that 
produced massive excess heat, easily measured, orders of magnitude beyond the 
limits of chemistry and yet which produced no measurable radiation.” What he 
should have said is “no measured radiation”.

Otherwise that would mean that there is no connection between excess heat and 
radiation – if the heat can happen w/o radiation, but the logical error in that 
conclusion is in “measurable”. Not always are radiation measurements done as 
well as here, and even then it is all in the interpretation.

Few experiments used the lead bricks that Alan had and not all of them have 
access to a sophisticated device with multiple channels to cover a wide 
spectrum. And an additional device is supposedly on the way. 

For instance, use of lead is one of the best ways to capture muons before they 
decay, and it so happened that when the present setup was moved further away, 
the fall-off was dramatic, as I recall - and consistent with muon decay, far 
more so than with inverse square. Yet if you do not believe in Holmlid’s muons, 
you would probably ignore this detail and try to find another explanation.

From: Bob Higgins 

As an experimentalist, I think you are wrong.  It is extremely frustrating to 
run an experiment and have the outcome produce 0 useful metric.  This is the 
usual case in early LENR development when the metric is heat COP because it is 
so hard to measure with precision and accuracy. 

Radiation measurement is capable of discerning whether nuclear events are being 
created.  It could also tell if high energy supra-chemical events are happening 
(<509keV).  Even in Pd-D electrolytic cells, CR39 studies show that these 
reactions are at least accompanied by high energy emissions - making such 
radiations a tag of the LENR.  This is far better than having no useful metric, 
which is what most experimenters have when they begin evaluating LENR recipes.  
Also, I ask you, "Why does Rossi incorporate so much lead in his reactors?" 
(reportedly 5cm).  It could be that all Ni-H LENR is accompanied by some form 
of radiation, perhaps high energy at startup, evolving to lower energy 
radiation that is easily thermalized in the reactor materials as the reaction 
is tuned to its sweet spot.  Defkalion also reported radiation.  Focardi and 
Piantelli have reported radiation.

radioactive decay.  I think the Moray device was very credible, in particular.  
Some Tesla coil experiments seemed to show an odd delay
In decay - that rose and fell, well after the stimulus.

Intuitively, I have long felt that there is something here, working as an 
exception - but I have no idea what or how such a thing would be possible.  I 
do think the Shoulders patents may explain some of the radioactive effects of 
Cold Fusion.

Like local DC magnetic fields, evanescent fields quickly decay to 0.  These are 
non-propagating local fields.  These are the fields responsible for inductance 
and capacitance.  It is the opposite of a radiating field.

Re: [Vo]:Big surprise or big dud ?

2016-02-26 Thread Bob Higgins
As an experimentalist, I think you are wrong.  It is extremely frustrating
to run an experiment and have the outcome produce 0 useful metric.  This is
the usual case in early LENR development when the metric is heat COP
because it is so hard to measure with precision and accuracy.

Radiation measurement is capable of discerning whether nuclear events are
being created.  It could also tell if high energy supra-chemical events are
happening (<509keV).  Even in Pd-D electrolytic cells, CR39 studies show
that these reactions are at least accompanied by high energy emissions -
making such radiations a tag of the LENR.  This is far better than having
no useful metric, which is what most experimenters have when they begin
evaluating LENR recipes.

Also, I ask you, "Why does Rossi incorporate so much lead in his reactors?"
(reportedly 5cm).  It could be that all Ni-H LENR is accompanied by some
form of radiation, perhaps high energy at startup, evolving to lower energy
radiation that is easily thermalized in the reactor materials as the
reaction is tuned to its sweet spot.  Defkalion also reported radiation.
Focardi and Piantelli have reported radiation.

My working hypothesis is that Papp was stimulating alpha decay by causing
electric arcing between electrodes with thorium deposited on them (among
other radioisotopes that he used at different points).  The energetic
alphas in turn excited the working fluid of noble gasses as they were
stopped.  The common understanding is that Feynman debunked Papp, but when
you read the history it is hard to draw that conclusion, even on the basis
of his own account.

It is surely true that much of the explanation provided by Papp in his
patents was unphysical.  But not necessarily all of it -- he did refer to
stimulating radioactivity, which means that his potentially correct
explanation predates that of Barker.  (I think there are some famous
physicists who suggested that this could be done prior to Papp.)

[Vo]:Stimulated Decay

2016-02-26 Thread Chris Zell
While some patents are complete BS, there are a few that assert revolutionary 
ideas together with lengthy specifics that add to their credibility such as 
Barker, also Shoulders and Correa.

There have been some folks experimenting with Tesla coils and claiming to 
stimulate radioactive decay but some of them are Creationists seeking to 
dethrone radioactive dating methods, so they are ignored.

I recall an obscure paper from the American University in which a physicist 
stimulated beta decay using a high voltage antenna feed but that was only 10 -5 
power stuff, so small potatoes.

Nucell folks made big claims, years ago, about using radioactive materials as a 
stimulated power source but I never could figure out if this was complete fraud 
or if they truly stumbled onto something big.

These days nobody can experiment with stuff like that on their own because of 
fear of automatically being called a 'terrorist',  You can't do chemistry on 
your own either because it's automatically a meth lab.
I hear laboratory glassware is flat out illegal in some parts of the US now.

Re: [Vo]:Big surprise or big dud ?

2016-02-26 Thread Bob Higgins
You on touching on one of the fundamental issues with experimental LENR -
what do you use for a metric?  If you want to progress from no results or
poor results in your experiment, you need to have a way to measure whether
you are getting better or worse as you introduce changes - you need a
metric, a measure of performance.  In the early stages of LENR development,
using excess heat as your metric is a terrible choice.  The reason is that
measuring the output heat, and sometimes the input energy are very hard to
do with sufficient accuracy to provide a confident measure of performance.
What you end up getting from your COP metric is basically noise, tending to
steer you in a random direction.

OTOH, radiation measurements are an excellent metric.  X-rays, gamma rays,
and neutron flux do not come from chemical action.  When using starting
materials that do not contain radioisotopes, observing radiation is a sure
sign of LENR.  Test setups can be made that are able to detect radiation
(and hence LENR) at very low levels.  It is a reasonable plan to use the
radiation metric to adjust your experiment until you are confidently
creating LENR with every experiment; and once you are, then optimize for
excess heat or maximum COP.

In the GS5.2 case, LENR occurred.  The measured radiation showed that LENR
occurred, and the nature of the measured radiation provides another clue to
the mechanism of the reaction at the same time.  The COP GS5.2 produced was
probably in the thermal measurement noise.  The question now is, can GS5.2
be repeated?  Then, can it be made better?

Harry,

MFPF is most definitely providing a valuable role in this research, but as you 
imply - they appear to have "jumped the gun" on this announcement. The end 
result is that the lack of convincing evidence feeds into the agenda of the 
Mary Yugo's of the world - just the opposite of what was intended.

And the skeptics are right this time - there is nothing at all to get excited 
about here... yet. The heat is in the noise level and the radiation has been 
known for over a decade. Anyone can make a much better case for LENR by using 
Rothwell's Library. 

We respect Greenyer's efforts. We hope that he is correct that there will be 
more to come shortly. I think that there will be better evidence coming to 
light shortly. It's just too bad that he raised expectations high 
prematurely... and then had to scurry around to explain the fizzle. Mary gloats.

I can see where you would think that based on the active side being lower
than null to start and later higher.  However, there was already the
differential with the active side reading lower than the null side even
during the calibration.  Also, chemistry effects in these types of
experiments are fairly clear when they happen and usually don't last more

experiments I have conducted, and the chemistry effects are seen at the
temperatures where you expect them to occur.

Were I to imagine a scenario where the excess heat was not real in this
case, it would go like the following: at lower temperature, the heating
coil has more space between the windings; at higher temperature, it pulls
together beneath the TC producing a higher temp at that spot.  Then it
relaxes when it cools off.  Of course that is imaginary, but a plausible
alternative.  That is why it would be good to do at least conduction
