Bob, I do not understand your question. I still believe that a large magnetic field is interacting with the individual small NAE in a manner that results in positive feedback among them. The actual manner in which this interaction occurs is evading me. As Frank indicated, a steady magnetic field should not be able to directly reduce the Coulomb barrier and hence I am exploring the concept of a time changing one. He appears to have a concept that allows for the generation of an extremely large magnetic field and if that field changes with time, then the generated electric component might be the one I seek.
Do you have a concept that effectively results in the reduction of the Coulomb barrier that we normally discuss? It seems that energy can be borrowed from the time changing magnetic field of sufficient magnitude to reduce the net barrier leading to LENR activity. Once the reaction begins, that borrowed energy is replaced with interest. And, I suspect that most of the released energy from the reaction enhances the original field. The net effect is a growing field and energy release that work together. One interesting feature of this mechanism would be the existence of a threshold effect. Until sufficient coupling among the NEA is established very little energy would be released. That could explain why it is so very difficult to replicate systems. It may not be too difficult to get individual sites to react, but unless enough become involved, the total energy is too small to accurately measure.

Frank is providing a cause for expanded scope (size) of coherence in my mind. Thanks Frank.

It can redirect the velocity vector of that particle but can not directly add energy to it somewhat like the behavior of an electron beam that is bent by a magnetic field so that it moves against a fixed electric field. The initial energy of the electron allows it to move uphill against the electric force. But, if the magnetic field located at the particle is changing in magnitude or direction it generates an electric field that can impart energy. The enormous fields that you mention must begin as small fields that change in time to become large ones and perhaps that is when the additional energy is imparted. I like the thought of a long range effect since that offers an opportunity for coupling among a multitude of individual particles. This coupling could allow for the positive feedback mechanism that reinforces both the field and the LENR activity. Both can then grow until some limiting factor arises. IIRC DGT does suggest that the external magnetic field changes with time as their reaction varies. The question that arises is whether or not that rate of change would be able to generate a sufficient electric component. I find it interesting that nickel has a strong magnetic interaction that may well contribute to the rapid field changes. And, of course, the threshold in LENR occurring around the curie temperature of nickel must has some significance.

We cannot reduce the Coulomb barrier. The static force fields are conserved and cannot be reduced in a two body problem. The static force field can, however, be bypassed by a force with longer range. The magnetic component of the strong nuclear force is called the spin orbit force. It is never considered by the hot fusion people. In the solid cold fusion environment the magnetic component can be increased by a factor to 10 to the 39 power. Again I am not speaking of the electromagnetic field, I am speaking of the magnetic component of the strong nuclear force. In short "The constants of the motion tend toward the electromagnetic in a Bose condensate that is vibrated at a dimensional frequency of 1.094 megahertz-meters." Frank Z The Coulomb repulsion can be reduced by magnetic attraction according to my thoughts and that would also explain magnetic interactions and low temperature operation of LENR devices. Should we drop the reference to Coulomb barrier and replace it with reference to an Electromagnetic Barrier?

Perhaps we should consider it as an electromagnetic barrier instead. There is plenty of reason to suspect that a magnetic component of force is active along with the electric component. Some in this list believe that spin coupling has a large impact upon the rate of LENR activity and there may well be other magnetic interactions associated with nano particles and their large local magnetic fields. I tend to think that these couplings are a key concept that needs to be understood in detail if an ultimate theory is to be developed.
