The credibility issue with LeClair is something he must address if he
wants positive recognition. As with AR, there is an overabundance of
enticing talk but little reliable data, no peer reviewed publication, no
independent replication, and lots of evasiveness. YouTube has spawned
the era of fake news and also fake science... and this looks like an
instance of fake science.
Back to the Subject Heading: A "eutectic mist" for maximum surface area.
That is enticing because surface area is deemed to be a key parameter in
LENR and all the more so if there is to be increased coupling between
photons and metals for SPP. A eutectic would be important to lower the
boiling point of some metals in order to permit a mist, but does the
mist revert to "dust"? Nickel apparently has few eutectic possibilities
and tends to agglomerate so this may not apply. Zinc and silver are
candidates and are both Mills catalysts.
There has been informed opinion about the so-called "dusty plasma" being
an ideal medium but it is unclear if the dusty plasma is related to a
eutectic mist. The Egely experiment - with his dusty carbon plasma
appeared in "Infinite Energy" years ago (issue 102) and then faded from
view. As we have mentioned before, implementing a new understanding of
plasmonics (in the context of SPP) could bring a version of dusty plasma
(or eutectic mist) back into contention as a preferred way to get
anomalous gain at low power input, since photon penetration should be
many orders of magnitude deeper than a porous solid.
But I doubt that LeClair will be playing a useful role in that development.
