Jones, This is an admitted spin-off loosely based on your recent soliloquies of undulating proportions. Er, ahem... What I meant to say is it would not surprise me if a similar analogy, a mechanism will be found at play when it comes to certain kinds of LENR reactions. Perhaps specific EM frequencies which in turn generate harmonics can be utilized to control the accumulation of kinetic energy on an atomic scale, perhaps to help overwhelm the Coulomb Barrier within crystalline structures. It's the marching in-step of solders over a bridge analogy. It is likely that special attention would need to be spent analyzing both the internal volume (the empty spaces) and topological surfaces of these crystalline structures in order to figure out how best to focus and enhance the harmonics. The only problem with this analogy is that it would appear to be a one-way ticket. Once the Coulomb Barrier is breached regularly (generating fusion & heat) the consequences would be significant increases of additional random kinetic energy - destructive force. The result is likely to be an untimely demise of the crystalline structures. It's the biting of the hand that feeds it analogy at work here. It's not clear to me how one might go about devising a process that would not destroy itself in the process, perhaps by not allowing the crystalline structure to exceed a certain temperature. With the wonders nanotechnology just around the corner who knows what might be possible. Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com
