Peter L Hagelstein 2D --> He4 + 24 MEV in fractal Pd or Au nanovoids, with
2-stage spin boson model for energy downshifts to 2 MEV to optical phonons:
Lomax: Murray 2010.03.24
Hi Vo gang, Duh, hey dudes, I'm impressed, so I'm sending this to Scott,
Marissa, and Hal at Earthtech in Austin -- take this to the Google boys...
thanks, Abd for your gracious, detailed, and respectful assessments of my
layman offerings -- OK to make some fun of me! -- we're all on the same
side -- the inside of truth. Could you forward this to Saddiq Hans von
Briessen -- I chatted with him re cold fusion a few minutes two weeks ago
at a Japanese culture festival here in Santa Fe. Did SPAWAR present
anything at ACS?
encouraged, Rich Murray

Some comments I have not heard before:
". . . It also tells us what to look for in a material as to what makes it
special, to make the cold fusion excess heat process work. What we've
found recently -- very recently -- is that bulk palladium cannot host a 2D
molecule, but if the palladium has a vacancy, it lowers the electron
density and 2D can form. And very recently we found not only can it form,
but there's a little cage that it has a possibility of fitting in, if the
loading is just right. If the monovacancy has the right occupation and so
forth. These conditions under which the monovacancy can host the 2D
molecule seem to very consistent with the onset of the excess power in the
experiments. So that's exciting to us!
Holy moly! What have I been talking about, Jed? Prescence of the molecular
species in palladium! What does this do? If there is substantial
population of 2D molecules, then once in a blue moon you might get a
transient second molecule and, Takahashi's prediction, Pop!
Codeposition creates this very complex fractal surface, lots of voids,
very high surface area, in fact.
The same detailed calculation that found this effect in palladium seems to
show a lesser version of it in gold. One of my friends has a result, where
he thinks he might have seen some excess heat as a preliminary result in a
[gold coated cathode]. That's a result that needs confirming, but if its
confirmed, then maybe we're beginning to get the ability to maybe do the
computation of the material to find out. . . ."
What if the effect with gold cathode/palladium codeposition is actually
taking place at the gold surface!
I guess this means Au-D. That would be a new approach. I have not heard of
any work with Au since Ohmori worked with Au-H. He observed pretty
convincing excess heat. I do not know of any replications. His
electrochemistry was the cleanest and most exacting I have have ever seen.
He had cathodes that ran for months that I thought were fresh out of the
aqua regia. Astounding! I doubt many people could replicate the
cleanliness, never mind the heat.
Au-H and Au-D are examples of unexplored alleys in the exploding parameter
space McKubre talked about during the ACS press conference.
Yes. Without guiding theory, exploration will take a very long time. But
as soon as the theories start getting close, they will suggest
explorations, and success in these will serve to partially validate the
theories, until, in the end, hopefully, it all becomes well-known. There
will always be unexplored frontiers, though.
That there have been so many apparently successful experiments and so few
(exact) replications is tragic, one of the things that impeded this field,
which is exactly why I'm doing what I'm doing. I've written before what
might have been part of the problem. If you are working in a field where
there might be huge glory and rewards for being the first to find the Big
Secret, you may want to keep trying new things to be The One Who Finds The
Big Secret. Replicating someone else's work? Boring. Leave it to the grad
students.
Oops! No grad students. They all went away because they were told that if
they did their work with cold fusion, forget that PhD. It's amusing to
read the crap on phys.org from this guy who thinks that a mention of the
repression is "whining." It's just the effing history. Bart Simon, Undead
Science, the sociological study of the whole sordid affair. While it
couldn't stop the progress re cold fusion, it sure did put a huge dent in
it.
Well, the first inquiries about actually buying kits from me were from a
professor who wanted them for grad student projects, to be published as
replications. I think it will happen, one way or another. And it will keep
happening until it is so boring and so well-established that nobody will
bother any more, except maybe at the high school science fair level. I'd
say that we are on the way, fasten your seat belt, things might change
fairly rapidly.
