From: [email protected] This may be relevant. http://phys.org/news/2015-07-short-wavelength-plasmons-nanotubes.html Hmmm… very interesting indeed. The second images illustrates how IR light is the instigator of plasmons – but IR has a relatively long wavelength. The first image shows plasmons in a nanotube, which are about ¼ the length of the 100 nm scale on the left. No way are these plasmons in the IR size range - but plasmons are not photons and we do not know the wavelength of the visible light they emit in the image (which is probably a false color anyway). The plasmon size shown would corresponds to a wavelength which in the UV range – a range which is associated with Mills and LENR. This image does not relate to hydrogen, but the Rydberg multiples most often associated with gain in hydrogen would be 27.2 eV and 54.4 eV. The later is about 23 nanometers…. It was documented in the original Thermacore testing in the early 1990s. Nanotubes are an exciting possibility for gain. Anyone heard anything newsworthy from Seldon Technology on their nanotube process? http://coldfusionnow.org/seldon-technologies-nasa-and-lenr/

Another datum: the Letts/Cravens effect requires a magnetic field - along with laser light, and one implication is that SPP formation is accentuated by an applied magnetic field, even when the light source is not obvious. There is also the lore about carbon nanotubes LENR - or as in the patent app. of Cooper (US 20130266106 to Seldon Technologies). Can we connect the dots? Here is the site which links CNT to nickel and to a greatly enhanced magnetic field. http://journals.aps.org/prb/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevB.82.193410 Giant magnetic moment enhancement of nickel nanoparticles embedded in multiwalled carbon nanotubes …. “We report a giant magnetic moment enhancement of ferromagnetic nickel nanoparticles …embedded in carbon nanotubes …. The giant moment enhancement is unlikely to be explained by a magnetic proximity effect but possibly arise from the interplay between ferromagnetism in nickel nanoparticles and strong diamagnetism in multiwalled carbon nanotubes.”
