Today I learned an interesting factoid in passing: the internal
magnetic field for the sodium atom has been measured to be on the
order of ~30 MG (million Gauss) = ~3,000 T !!
This is not a large value for near nucleus field strength. The
dipole field has a ~ 1/r^3 field intensity, so grows arbitrarily
large as the the dipole distance r goes to zero. It is thus
primarily limited by the particle de Broglie wavelength. For
example, the 9.2x10^-17 m de Broglie wavelength electron in the
deflated state hydrogen in my theory imposes a 1.5x10^17 T field on
the proton at a distance of 1.8x10^-16 m. This characterization of
mine is probably wildly off though, due to virtual particle creation
and interactions in the deflated state hydrogen, but it demonstrates
how large magnetic field can become if the involved wavelengths are
short enough.
The source for this information is impeccable, but details are
lacking ... but one can assume the field at some unknown distance
is the field attributable to the nucleus, independent of the
electron and the strong force. Why does it drop off very quickly so
that it is essentially absent at a distance of one angstrom?
Because it is a 1/r^3 value.
Consequently it can be said to be "relatively neutron heavy" for
its natural place,
and possibly that will imply a relative affinity for proton capture
without the concomitant evidence of radiation which is normal ...
but this situation happens ONLY if the Coulomb barrier is "fooled"
by the "virtual neutron" (energy poor). IOW - Mills/BLP set out to
prove a theory but instead essentially got lucky, and do not yet
have a clue as to what they discovered!
A new form of LENR !
There are many models which involve a "virtual neutron", or in the
case of deuterium a "virtual di-neutron", called by many names and
having differing justifications and theoretical consequences. My
Deflation Fusion model is one such model. One of the fundamental
principles of this model is that LENR between the deflated state
hydrogen and lattice atoms is energetically favorable strictly due to
magnetic attraction, since the Coulomb barrier is completely down to
the neutral deflated state hydrogen. The tunneling distance to the
lattice atoms is much smaller that to the next hydrogen interstitial
site, but the tunneling rate to adjacent unoccupied sites (about
10^12/second) is much higher than to lattice atom sites due to the
much higher electrostatic potential involved in inter-site hopping,
vs the low magnetic potential involved in the hop to adjacent heavy
nuclei. I suggested applying a large magnetic gradient to loaded
material as a means of increasing heavy atom interactions. The best
way to do this I suggested is to apply the gradient using collimated
polarized x-rays. This could produce a volume effect device, as
opposed to the present surface effect devices.
