What is the bend and symmetrical stretch frequencies of water? I
assume that the bend angle is the angle between the hydrogen atoms
and the oxygen, and that the stretch has to do with the length of
the H-O bond.
The bend frequency is the frequency the water molecule resonates at
when pushed or pulled apart like a wishbone. The symmetrical stretch
is like the stretch you do when yo pull back a slingshot.
What is negative resistance? is it the same as conductance or
suceptance?
In real life it is negative *incremental* resistance - an incremental
decrease in voltage results in an incremental increase in current.
This can be used to generate an oscillation. This is all nicely
described for the amateur on the web site I referenced:

The energetic free proton effects are happening in the blue-green
glow creating interphase. What is interphase?
It is a transitional *volume* of electrolyte near the anode - about
10-20 molecules thick.
This was described in detail in:

The zinc can be passivated in a weak electrolyte, what does
passivated mean?

Here it is again:
PASSIVATION
This conducting oxide layer is well known, though the reason it
conducts is not conclusive. [3 ] The process of forming this layer,
earlier called “conditioning”, is formally called passivation.
Passivation of an oxide forming electrode occurs when a sufficient
current density is passed for a sufficient time through the electrode
when it is used as an anode. Either DC or AC can be used, provided
the necessary current density is achieved. If insufficient voltage
is used, then no oxide layer forms, and ordinary anode corrosion
results. After a sufficient passivation time interval and current
density, the oxide layer, though initially insulating, begins to be
conductive. As the layer becomes conductive it begins to absorb
incident photons, i.e. becomes black as opposed to reflective, at
least in the case of Ni anodes. [4] When the oxide layer is
conductive, the electrode is protected from corrosion, and is thus
passivated. The oxide film which forms just prior to this is called
a precursor or prepassive film. Passivation time is reduced by
increasing the passivation voltage and thus current density.
The black hole absorbing the energy of the reaction is very
interesting. I've heard this story before, IMHO, if you're
producing a reaction, and not detecting the energy, then you have a
problem, and you might as well drop what ever else you're doing and
figure it out. The part about the invisible photons interests me too.
What invisible photons? Do you have a reference? I'll assume you
are talking about the absorbed photon of a photon pair created by
electron-hole annihilation. The photons go opposite directions. One
goes through the transparent cover (e.g. electrolyte) and the other
hits solid material and is absorbed.
Isn't that an oxymoron?
Photons that are absorbed are then not visible.
How do these invisible photons figure into the missing energy?
Which missing energy? The missing CF signature energy? They don't.
The two aren't related.
In table 5 of the Heisenberg Traps, oxygen stands out as having an
energy even higher than Al. Given the significance that you attach
to this energy, I'm wondering about the significance of this.
Well I thought I made it crystal clear in: "Oxygen, best of all in
the table, provides a prospective nucleus for interaction in the
plasma-liquid environment of the anode glow." Oxygen is the most
prominent heavy element in water. It has the highest projected
temperature. This is *why* I put it in the table. Its hot and it is
ubiquitous in the anode interphase. This is a no brainer. The only
other element always present in water is hydrogen, and extracting
uncertainty energy may mean interacting down at the quark level -
which is not realistic or practical. Deuterons may be a possibility
though.
Given the necessity of electricity in power all of the LENR schemes
that I'm aware of,, I'm fascinated by your mention of using
semiconducting materials in the lattice.
Actually it is the surface film that is semiconductive, or which
provides a tunneling barrier.
