Zr is a violent partner in LENR reactions only working at very elevated
temperature. Brown gas can trigger strong coupled LENR reactions and Zr
may divert some energy out of the resonant "cake" due to its unique
gamma resonance structure.

 ITER is indeed a sad joke and a dirty stain on the physics establishment.
Wouldn't it be ironic if that project was magically savaged and made 
commercially useful - by the simple expedient of adding on a cheap muon source 
... which of course is where the Holmlid licensees are envissioning an 
opportunity? Muon catalyzed fusion could push that project from slightly above 
breakeven to massively energetic.

This scenario is not a fantasy dream. 

Matter of fact, it would be a surprise to me if something like this outcome 
does not happen in maybe a year or so.

Hi Bob

Classic entangled states are not far off the true SO(4) entangled 
magnetic states. The only difference is that we now know that 
entanglement is covered by the phase space and thus is not time bound. 
The wave nodes do look similar to a scalar wave and the whole entangled 
system thus can transport phase bound energy quasi timeless. Quasi, 
because we do not yet know whether the dense space metric gives some 
limitation. Experiments did show > 64c But the metric would allow (at 
best) up to pi^5 *4.


You are right that all you need is to set up a medium with identical 
magnetic behavior and connect the states with an ordering impulse. In 
SO(4) physics magnetic energies (states) must match (topology + coupling 
EM mass) to go into full resonance.


We had just an other LENR experiment that confirmed this!

The key to the reaction is having enough electronic states in atoms to

Before the reaction the order of the system is relatively  high (low 
entropy) and after the reaction the order of the system  is reduced 
with a resulting increase of entropy.


Order in this example is directly related to the total energy of the

The entropy increase is consistent with the 2^nd Law of

Knowing the stable or quasi stable spin energies of various particles

I think Jurg is working on such knowing for simple systems. The 
Brookhaven Laboratory in New York keeps a data base for many nuclear

believe it is available to the public.  I will research this question 
and try to get a good link to the data base.

Hi,

When Hydrogen and Chlorine burn, they react in a series of reactions like this:-

Cl + H2 -> HCl + H
H + CL2 -> HCl + Cl

Both H & Cl are free radicals.

Both steps produce HCl molecules, and the first step produces copious amounts 
of H atoms. According to Mills, HCl can be
a catalyst. So now you have the perfect combination of gaseous fuel and 
catalyst. The energy released from the Hydrino
reaction is more than enough to split an additional H2 or Cl2 molecule to 
compensate for the lost H atom (losing an H
atom breaks that particular chain).
The UV serves to split the first few molecules, thus initiating the chain 
reactions.

 Interesting info, Michael
Another wrinkle to add in the mix (for a working method of collecting energy 
from dense hydrogen in a mechanical device) is the apparent superconductivity 
of protons when absorbed into a metal matrix even at elevated temperatures. 

Since superconductors are strongly diamagnetic (thousands of times more so than 
bismuth) this property offers a way to ensure directional movement of 
reactants. 

More on this later.

Papp in fact used a mixture of noble gases like Ag + Kr,Xe- Both are 
very efficient in support of LENR reactions. You just need to add little 
Deuterium, a rusty Fe2O3 side for the catalytic production of D*and a 
mechanism (strong field) , to trigger the reaction.



Unluckily he was very selfish as most others are too in the LENR

RE: [Vo]:"Burning"hydrogen with argon ?

2020-06-15 Thread JonesBeene
The working gas would be argon, which is also a reactant.  Argon will from a 
short lived molecule with hydrogen. Helium will not. Too bad since He has 
better heat transfer properties.

For a closed-cycle piston engine of this sort to work, the piston crown and the 
facing cylinder head would need to be catalytic for the formation of dense 
hydrogen when exposed to a mixed pressurized gas of hydrogen and argon. A very 
large compression ratio would be possible.

Ideally dense hydrogen on this catalytic surface would then combine immediately 
as it is being formed - with argon - at TDC which will them form argonium with 
exotherm

For this cycle to repeat ad infinitum, the argonium would need to decay at BDC. 
The normal version of argonium according to Wiki has a lifetime of 2+ 
milliseconds which may be too short for realistic rotational speed.

Thus – another miracle needed for this to work at all, is that the denser form 
of argonium would need to have a lifetime of about 10 milliseconds for a 
resonance at about 6000 RPM. 

No one has published anything about a dense form or argonium or any other 
molecule containing dense hydrogen. Maybe dense hydrogen will not bind to argon 
at all. 

This is why experimenter need to be able to make dense hydrogen reliably – to 
characterize all its properties,  and AFAIK no independent researcher can do 
this now.

In your engine conceptual design what is the working gas that is heated and 
then does work in the decompression portion of the cycle?

Is it the Ar-H gas or a separate gas that is heated by the release of energy 
from the reactants in the “reaction chamber” (as the cylinder might be called) 
but not modified  by the release of energy .

For example,heliume might work well and be conserved without modification in a 
hermetically “reaction chamber that contained a “fuel” that would react with an 
appropriate EM trigger—“spark plug.”   Introduction of additional fuel stored 
within  the hermetically sealed  envelop could be accomplished after the 
original charge was sufficiently depleted—maybe a day, a week or longer, 
depending the dynamics of the system parameters that affect the reaction.

reactions which are exothermic on formation and then endothermic milliseconds 
later, on the expansion stroke. A resonance could then be engineered, 
especially if the decay was sharp and reliable and the engine ran at one speed 
only. However, this may not be what happens in practice with argon and hydrogen.

➢ If the lifetime of argonium happened with endotherm precisely at BDC, then 
that could present a bonus cooling effect in addition to the change in

I had some of your ideas also.  Helium gas as a working gas seems like a good 
idea.

My understanding about the cause of lightening is based on an accumulation of 
differential  charge (like between two plates of a capacitor) between separate 
clouds and/of the ground.   The charges come from initially neutral atoms that 
loose electrons by frictional action called static electricity.

In most thunder storms with lightening and clouds not too close to the ground, 
lightening occurs between clouds.  If the clouds with their static electrical 
charge centers get close to the ground, a discharge to ground becomes more 
frequent.

In Mills theory this emission would be related minimally to multiples of 
27.2 eV so even if the reaction goes no further that a single redundant 
hydrogen orbital reduction, an attractive scenario for net gain would 
exist - even if the protons are lost after a single pass and must be

For a magnetic resonance any coupling mass must be of same size and 
topology 27.2eV is just one good sample that works. But this has nothing 
to do with Mills model. It's just a lucky fit.


The production of H*-H* as Mills does it in teh SUN-CELL is very risky 
as nobody so far knows about its biological impact. I would stay far
