From the info I have Wigner effect seems another bad excuse to reject more simple facts... however if it was true, such a huge storage (still unreliable like many new technologies), would be a HUGE REVOLUTIOn in Science, in Engineering... like we expected for LENR, it is evident that such giant

Thanks, Eric, Yes, that fits within my conceptual view of what is possible for hydrogen. I think Stewart has got things a bit muddled. Andy. On 28/11/12 08:29, Eric Walker wrote: I wrote: On Tue, Nov 27, 2012 at 4:18 PM,

Andy, I don't think Eric said it was not some type of Beta decay, just not Beta -. There are many people on here brighter than me so I will let them figure out what type. Maybe the lattice somehow polarizes neutrinos and you get more collisions. Stewart On Wednesday, November 28, 2012, Andy

Thanks, Jed, You are implying that you don't believe that the stored Wigner effect energy per gram could be many orders of magnitude higher in Palladium (or Nickel, for that matter) than in graphite because of the 4eV per atom limit. Correct? Please don't get me wrong - I am hoping that I

Does anybody know of a sensible counter-argument (or maybe even a peer reviewed refutation) to the idea that the anomalous heat of cold-fusion/LENR might just be due to a Wigner-(like)-Effect? I had never heard of the Wigner Effect until a couple of days ago when I

The Wigner effect cannot produce megajoules per mole. Morrison never understood that concept. That is why he failed to see the significance of a cell that produced 1,700 more energy than any chemical source of energy could. See: http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/Fleischmanreplytothe.pdf Perhaps he

If billions of neutrinos are flowing through all matter all of the time, if you pack enough hydrogen in a concentrated area you are bound to get a head on collision now or then leading to beta decay. Probably also leads to hydrogen embrittlement over time and maybe the gravitational acceleration

Thanks for the link, Jed. I've only skimmed it (so far), but it has given me some insight into Morrison's stance on the issue. And yes, I also get annoyed by people who confuse power with energy (Rossi, conspicuously). However, the pdf does not mention the Wigner effect. You state that the

Do you suppose all of those climate models take into account the energy released to Earth through natural Beta decay and LENR reactions from billions of tons of neutrinos and other dark matter stuff? NOT. It also does not take into account what happens when a large dark matter nucleus from a
