Thanks, Jürg. A “focusing” capability – using neodymium ring magnets - would present an interesting option in a situation where the superconductor is the not the pellet we are familiar with, but instead is a microscopic strings of dense hydrogen, such as described by Holmlid.
If that dense species can be enriched and collected in a focal point of two ring magnets – while the species is still in a liquid or slurry, then there would be a potential answer as to how it could form a target for a laser pulse. Normally we would imagine that far too little of it would be available as a target - due to dilution within the liquid. What brought this up now is the simple “woodpecker” experiment being reported by Can on lenr-forum. By careful data collection he has turned a simple and cheap experiment into something potentially meaningful. There is a chance that he is making dense hydrogen in the slurry with the spark discharge. Of course the small increase in counts is only suggestive of a Holmlid or Mills effect , but would be of greater potential importance if laser imploded, since that should entail an exponential increase in counts (according to Holmlid). That outcome of greatly increased counts could be stretch given this situation – but the idea that Holmlid’s concept of a superfluid/superconductive species which can be made simply by sparking – that is provocative - and even more so if there is a pathway to actually activating the dilute species with a laser pulse.

If such a current stays on a ring then from the physics point of view the rings will self adjust as long as the axis of the opposite field stays inside the ring. (Of course there are more parameters like real mass etc. for an exact model) I used this in my old LENR writeup to explain how magnetic focusing of Li*-H* works...

It's unclear from the literature whether the Meissner Effect can be used to focus an object in a static magnetic field. For instance, imagine two strong magnets facing each other in repelling (bucking) mode with a gap in between them.. Will a superconductor (HTSC) become focused, locked and constrained within the cusp of the magnets’ bucking field (which is expected) OR does flux pinning actually hinder this focusing? The answer to that question – if it is out there on the Web, does not turn up easily. As soon as the answer turns up, an interesting way in which this could dynamic have usefulness in LENR will be mentioned. -- Jürg Wyttenbach Bifangstr.22 8910 Affoltern a.A. 044 760 14 18 079 246 36 06
