A question: what would be the net effect of all these extra
electrons being pulled over from the Dirac Sea? Would this not
eventually produce some kind of unholy electrostatic issue. Or
worse?Good question, Steve. The answer may lie in an existing electrostatic compensation mechanism such as the “fair weather” field of earth. There could be other natural leveling mechanisms as well. The aurora phenomenon comes to mind. Needless to say, this subject is only partly mainstream, despite the imprimatur of Dirac. On a “fair” or clear day, there is a fairly strong electric field on the surface of the earth, relative to the ionosphere. The ionosphere can be thought of as a positive electrode above earth, in contrast to the relatively negatively charged earth. “Ground” has a negative charge connotation for a good reason. The gradient can be hundred of volts per meter when a storm moves through. But the point is that electric charges are continuously leveled out on a vast natural scale, so it would probably take a major accumulation of LENR reactors to alter that dynamic balance, if most of them were tapping into the Dirac sea. An E-cat or hundred of them would not be noticed, but a billion of them could be a problem. However, high voltage grid transmission lines are spewing out excess electrons already, so one is led to believe that even strong local fields are self-compensating to some degree. Jones
