For many years, I have been saying that excess heat is a poor test for LENR
- a poor and insensitive indicator of LENR. What has been seen in this
experiment (GS5.2), is a clear indication of LENR via a radiation
signature. This was a high signal-to-noise spectrum and getting such a
spectrum from a LENR process is exceedingly rare and of unique value to
LENR science.
The spectrum has every indication of being Bremsstrahlung ("braking")
radiation that occurs when a light particle is stopped very quicky by a
heavy atom. The lighter the light particle and the heavier the heavy atom,
the greater the Bremsstrahlung amplitude. The lightest particle would be
the electron, and the heavy atoms could be Ni, Fe, Cr, Mo from the fuel and
the SS capsule containing the fuel. BUT, the Bremsstrahlung spectrum has a
sharp cutoff at the initial energy of the electron. The fact that this
spectrum shows energy out to beyond 1MeV means that you must have MeV+
electron energies inside! This is a big deal. What LENR theories
presently can account for MeV electrons? Actually, there appears to be
energy out to over 1.4 MeV in the Bremsstrahlung. MeV protons will not
create this spectrum (too heavy and low speed).
MeV+ energies for single entities (as are indicated here) are really only
available from a nuclear process. There is no stretch of Mills or DDL
theories (supra-chemical) that can account for >509keV photons/particles.
There is presently no description in a hydroton theory for MeV+ electron
emission. It could fit in with Piantelli's theory with modification. It
could fit in with Hagelstein's and Karabut's photon energy multiplication
(but it would be extreme).
There are some skeptics that still believe that Ni-H LENR may not exist -
even if they believe in Pd-D LENR. This is unmistakable proof that Ni-H
LENR is happening.
Is this the holy grail experiment, ready to put in your hot water heater?
No. But, with further corroboration and analysis, this will provide a
sensitive means to indicate the onset of LENR in a class of Ni-H
experiments and will become an important probe into the science behind the
curtain. It will lead to replication and then to engineering.
