These slides from Defkalion are very informative.  Thank you Alan and
Akira.  I am looking forward to reading the other materials.

Concerning the question of spark plugs, this from p. 15 of the slides:

At first, we introduced the Plasma Ignition Method (DC pulsed at 24KV/22mA
at some KHz) to produce glow discharges in a high pressure (2-8bar)
Hydrogen envelope, by use of special shaped designed Tungsten and TZM
electrodes, to get all the above.


So they are (were?) using glow discharge.  Someone here will know whether
the electrodes count as spark plugs, although the point is probably moot
now that we know what they were doing with them.

At this juncture, it is near impossible to tell what the exact nuclear
mechanism is at play in the DGT reaction.

The Piantelli based compound neutron mechanism has no support that I can
see and is just a guess.

Even the details of Rydberg matter mechanism is a guess, The matter could
be potassium or calcium or both with the addition of hydrogen.

The tools are not there yet to tell for sure.

But what is likely happening is electron screening of the positive nuclear
coulomb barrier which is true in all other LENR reactions.

 So's paper:

Nothing directly, except from the introduction :
 It has been proposed that Rydberg
atoms could be used for nanoscale pattern deposition
on surfaces [6], especially as the spatial distribution of the Rydberg
atoms could be
controlled using low-intensity standing wave laser fields [6] or
inhomogeneous electric
fields [7, 8]
and the fact that Rydberg H's are well-behaved (reproducible, and conform
to theory) in the vicinity of a metal surface.
Defkalion suggest that suitable magic elements in their Ni mix can
guide the RSH's to the Active Nuclear Sites -- maybe by creating
 inhomogeneous electric fields.
Papers 7,8 control the distance of Rydberg atoms from the surface,
not their position parallel to the surface.

So also uses two lasers (VHF and UVHF) to set up the Rydberg states
... maybe related to Hagelstein's two-laser beat frequency
stimulation. (Hagelstein wasn't the first to use this, but I just closed
my browser window on one of his papers).

It seems they only have a vague idea about what happens. They need special

called it NAE, like Storms do. And that transmutation happens. They did not

As with Rossi still no 3rd party validation but lots of very interesting
information:

As many have speculated Defkalion are using a plasma source of quite high
power, 24kV, 22mA at several kHz (automotive level performance), TZM
(molybdenum) and tungsten electrodes, 2-8bar Hydrogen with sparking to
ignite reaction cycles many times per hour (on order of 6 minutes per
cycle).  On the order of 3-7kJ required to start a cycle.  Electrode life
is an issue.  State that sparks create rydberg hydrogen atoms that then
start the reaction.

Nickel in non- face centred cubic crystals.  No enrichment required but
needs to be protected from spark kernels, using a nickel powder protected
within a nickel foam.  Some mix of ZnO, MgO and ZrO too.

Lots of transmutations, and fusion of H to heavier elements, no gammas
outside 50-300keV (pretty safe).

180-850°C in reactor, seems to be about 1kW output at present (92Wh out of
a cycle, and about 10 cycles per hour).

COP up to 22.

I would imagine that anything coming close to those high temperature
(thousands of degrees) singularities evaporating would take alot of wear
and tear from both the heat and particles actually getting sucked into the
singularity.  The constant, Hawking radiation spectrum of emissions should
over time create additional transmutations since all of the material within
that chamber is being bombarded with radiation...my opinion, hope you are
not sick of listening to it yet..

DGT mentioned that the reacting hydrogen electron was in the vicinity of the 
proton and nickel atom for a short time period during which the fusion 
occurred.  Does this match quantum physics theory?  I thought that there is no 
way to locate an electron at a particular time and that it is everywhere within 
its orbital all of the time.

Perhaps they are adding support to classical physics in their description.  The 
other possibility is that they really do not understand the mechanism.  I bet 
on the later.

It is interesting to see that DGT suggests that a magnetic field is important 
for the device operation just as I have suspected.

Think of a big lightning ball floating inside that reactor creating
ionizing radiation and lots of heat.  I would think you would want to keep
it away from the walls of your reactor and maybe spark plug/instruments
else you will cook them.

2012-08-09 Thread Wolf Fischer
Did they say anything new? The audio quality is pretty bad, so I didn't 
understand everything:

They are
a) Talking to several countries (79 if I remember correctly)
b) Trying to build production lines (which might take several years? I 
thought they were already building one...)
c) Are they redesigning the whole thing? I thought their reactor was 
finished, however in Xanthoulis talk he mentions something about having 
something in 6 months..? It's a matter of materials.
d) Does Xanthoulis say, that they received money from government or not? 
I understand something like Otherwise we would never finished or 
Other persons would never have finished?


Perhaps it would be best if a native english speaker could make a 
transscript of both presentations..?


So basically just more words, no facts and more delays..?

Lots of good things happening this week, and likely at ICCF too.  good
papers coming out.  I am beginning to feel there's a trend to see more
theoretical papers about 'deuterated metal lattices' and other titles which
indicate the theorists have begun to see this as respectable and a very
challenging problem which their minds crave to solve.  although still
somewhat avoiding the CF word.  When one factors in the human aspect, Nobel
prizes and other professional accolades and notoriety, this has reached the
critical momentum that nothing can stop it now.

There ain't no way this genie could get stuffed back into the bottle now. I
don't care how much $ or influence that entity might have, the genie is
free!!   Reminds me of Robin Williams' portrayal as the genie in the
animated movie, Aladdin, where at the end, the 'thief' had a choice for a
third wish between wishing that his love interest would still love him after
he confesses to her that he's not a prince, or he could do the right thing
as promised to the genie and grant his freedom. he wished the genie 'free'.
It was the right thing to do, and it was a good feeling.  Well, I'm kinda
feeling like that now!  And for all of us who have been following this saga
for 23 frickin' years, it a pretty dam good feeling!  It won't happen
overnight, but it WILL happen in our lifetime.

DaveR, 

I got sidetracked with my posting on genies and all, kind of feeling a bit
'hi' today!, and forgot that I wanted to respond to your comment about
mag-flds. absolutely they will be important because they affect the
geometries/alignments.  Possibly also alternating E and B flds.  By
definition, the atoms in a metal lattice are already aligned, but being able
to tweak that alignment to some degree could very well be a key requirement.

Yeah, I have the same feeling Mark.  It can not be too long now before the 
prize is delivered to mankind.  I waited on the sideline for those many years, 
looking every so often to see if anything had poked its head upward.  When I 
saw the Rossi demonstrations, I knew that the time had come to begin following 
cold fusion devices again.  It was a long dry spell, but I just knew that there 
was something behind the work of PF since they were incredibly talented 
scientists.  Do you recall that there was a great deal of interest in near room 
temperature superconductors at around the same time?  I had hope for that 
technology as well, but it seems to have slowed down even more than LENR.  
Perhaps it will revive soon.

Unfortunately, I just had to replace my heat pump due to its old age!  I waited 
as long as I could, so now I guess I will have to obtain a LENR-generator 
combination to handle my needs.  It could be worse.

We should all be proud to have recognized a technology that will be immensely 
beneficial and rapidly deployed.

2012-08-09 Thread David Roberson

Well, I guess time will tell as to how critical the angles will be.  I picture 
the effect as being of a low probability nature where a small modification to 
the angle of motion for the protons allows the target to be hit.  This thought 
is based upon the incredibly tiny cross section area of the target nucleus.  
Think of it as a poke into the dark at a small target, where the modified 
magnetic field changes the direction of the poke slightly.

Of course you may be correct in your assessment, and one day we will know the 
proper answers.  Now, what were the questions? :-)
