Speaking of capturing a form of energy which is normally widely dispersed…
An obvious question from those awaiting word on the year-long results from Rossi is this: could there be a cross-connection between the ecat and the Holmlid/Ólafsson findings of large muonic output? There could be. Rossi is not aware of the muon possibility, but he reportedly uses similar reactants – nickel, potassium and hydrogen with thermal triggering, whereas Holmlid uses iron, potassium and hydrogen with laser triggering. But the big advantage to having the large structure of Rossi with tons of metal inside of it and numerous separated reactors - is that more of the ellusive muons will be captured locally in the metal and in adjoining reactors - instead of dispersing away. Steel is actually a good way to capture muons. Any single reactor will lose most of its muons, but can capture a few from each of the other reactors in the array. In fact if the COP is low, it is possible that most of the gain derives mostly from this shared effect for muon capture. ____________________________________________ From: Robert Dorr Nicely done presentation. Well worth giving a look. These are the same slides used by Ólafsson at the colloquium back in October at SRI, reported here: https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg105372.html Here is the easy link to the slides https://goo.gl/Zlenbp However, even today – the majority of observers in LENR seems to gloss over the main point – which is that although fusion can happen, the bulk of the energy release is in the form of muons (aka meson chain) and is generally lost to the reactor itself (since most of the energy ends up as neutrinos). Even so, there is net gain. The implication is that if properly engineered, the gain will be much higher. In short, “something is accidentally created,” which causes seemingly impossible nuclear reactions (nucleon disintegration) and that something is UDH or UDD – ultra dense hydrogen. George Miley used to call it IRH or inverted Rydberg hydrogen. Now it is simply call UDH or DDL (deep Dirac level). Ultra-dense hydrogen can be the source of all or part of Cold fusion LENR related phenomena. Laser induced fusion in UDH is the most effective way to see the results since it produces muons as the longest-lived species. This is also known as the “meson chain reaction” and the lifetime is several microseconds, so that most of the energy will be deposited as neutrinos many meters away from the reactor – up to hundreds of meters.
