Jones--- As you might suspect, I consider that spin coupling is indeed dependent upon resonances and local magnetic fields.
I trust that Brian is aware of the apparent relationof the subject technology to the cooling accomplished by the Manelas device.

Well Bob – it is arguable that we are not limited by thermodynamic restraints with paramagnons, at least not in the same way that thermoelectric materials are. Coupling is due to spin, in addition to or in place of thermal vibration. This makes resonance a big issue. There is a good possibility that very low delta-t can be practical. Such is arguably the case with the device of Arthur Manelas and that is why I mentioned it. Manganese is particularly interesting in this regard when alloyed or in a Heusler compound. By physical appearances, Mn should be ferromagnetic (it has 5 unpaired electrons as does iron) but it is paramagnetic when pure -yet it can be combined into alloys which are more strongly ferromagnetic than pure metals – i.e. nickel for instance. There is even a fair chance that the delta-T of a system with spin coupling can be zero initially in the sense that ambient heat is being converted into electrical current in the case of battery interaction with transformer back EMF. Finally, there is even a possibility that the reason some nickel electrodes work better than other in LENR experiments is related to slight manganese content, even inadvertent. Manganese doping of nickel increases the magnetization disproportionately - but for larger concentrations of there is a decrease. This can be modulated by hydrogen adsorption. If the analysis of Mizuno’s most active nickel electrode turns up even a half percent of Mn, then get back to me – we have found a culprit.
