If anything can save the World economy it is not going to be fossil fuel, that is most short-sighted ...
.... much more likely is that it will be from other breakthroughs, like the one being mentioned today: the new type of "Solid Fusion Reactor" ... or else the similar Mills' "Solid Fuel Reactor" both of which have a surprising similarity. Or else something similar but better from someone else. Both camps, the CF and the Hydrino camp, will immediately deny the cross-similarity, as always. However, both of these are essentially nano-nickel reactors. There will be alternatives from others, including Haisch and Moddel as Fran will likely point out - but it is likely that BLP will be the first to market - given the $80 million plus which they must have run through, so far. That market opening by BLP will actually benefit others, since they do not have all the answers. The new results of A-Z are small potatoes by comparison to what BLP did years ago, in terms of net energy released - but clearly show (once again) that energy can be produced by a nickel alloy - Ni30-Pd5 and that this alloy is superior to pure palladium, and to pure nickel. Let me repeat - the nickel is more active for LENR in Arata than palladium, just as Mills' theory indicates it should be. Arata's big advance is the alloy of the two. Apparently the implications of that have still not sunk-in for most observers, but Arata did publish the nickel finding in 2005, IIRC. Mills - in using Raney nickel has the identical kind of nano-geometry with nickel, and he has been at it for longer. Yet Mills has consistently refused to let his ash (residue from the reactor) be analyzed. Why? The answer that best fits the circumstances is that analysis would demonstrate what a few of us have suspected, and posted, for a long time - i.e. that there is transmutation evidence of LENR in the ash ! .... but likely, it is a novel kind of harmless transmutation; and much could be learned from a full disclosure. Yet the truth would jeopardize Mills' IP, even negate it - so he is placed in a very uncomfortable squeeze. Kinda like... dare I say ... going far below ground state? My guess - and you (already) heard it first on Vortex some time ago, is that the Mills' solid fuel reactor converts 23Na into 24Mg, in a new kind of QM reaction where only the proton is transferred (no real beta decay as there is no real neutron)- but also ... and most importantly - that this reaction is NOT the cause of the excess heat - but instead is the RESULT of excess heat having already been given up (in a QM sense of time reversal ... or to state it a little more clearly, this transmutation is a QM 'book-balancing' which effectively avoids any CoE complaints). Laugh, scorn, or hem-and-haw - all you want, the truth will eventually emerge. These two camps are more similar than they are different, and no one has all, or even most of the answers yet. Jones
