* Also of possible interest is that my rough computation for the deflated state up quark: * http://www.mtaonline.net/~hheffner/FusionUpQuark.pdf * shows that the deflated state electrons have a gamma of 36,000, and mass of 3.3 x10^-26 kg, more than the rest mass of the deuteron. Aha ! I had a gut feeling that there was indeed a common theme or inter-connection between all of these emergent concepts and now it seems to be showing up via the deflated electron. It is only a matter of the lack of a small amount of additional experimental data - until a workable theory can come out of all of this. Is there deuterium or helium in the ash? That would be a start. I am almost certain now that the transformation of nickel to copper is wrong - as the main source of energy. The copper seen is due to migration. That basic reaction Ni -> Cu made almost no sense in light of the other findings unless it came solely from 64Ni the tiny amount of ongoing gamma radiation, barely above background, and no residual radiation in the ash do not add up. Prediction if helium is found it will be mostly 3He. Heck, if that turns out to be true, then the value of the byproduct could pay for everything. If anyone thinks the price of gold is high, 3He is well shooting the moon, as they say. Jones Beene wrote: Let me organize the previous chain of thought First one detail gold is an excellent spillover catalyst, plus it is also specifically mentioned in the old patent. It is seldom used as a catalyst due to cost but that is not relevant at this point, since spillover catalysts work best in the range of only 1% of the mass of the host metal/support. 1) Heavy-fermion superconductors are remarkable in having electrons that effectively have hundreds of times their usual mass. 2) Muon-catalyzed fusion involves negative particles that have 206 times the mass of an electron. 3) The cross-connections between superconductivity and LENR are numerous and have been mentioned in the past. 4) Palladium hydride is superconductive. 5) Nickel hydride is superconductive as alloy, with at least one spillover catalyst - gold The nature of the connection between two seemingly unrelated fields is a mystery but it could be related to effectively large mass in the Cooper pair which occasionally shows up at higher temperature. This also fits in with the QBEC hypothesis, since those electrons may be effectively heavy. This patent on nickel hydride superconductors is interesting in regards to a possible dual role of a spillover catalyst. High temperature superconductors and method United States Patent 4043809 This invention comprises a superconductive compound having the formula: Ni1-x Mx Zy wherein M is a metal which will destroy the magnetic character of nickel (preferably copper, silver or gold); Z is hydrogen or deuterium; x is 0.1 to 0.9; and y, correspondingly, 0.9 to 0.1, and method of conducting electric current with no resistance at relatively high temperature of T>1° K comprising a conductor consisting essentially of the superconducting compound noted above. This is interesting, especially the case of Ni_x Zr_(1-x), which is the same as Ni_(1-x) Zr(x), and which I mentioned earlier in the category of metallic glasses which have been studied for their properties when hydrogen is absorbed: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg41599.html Also of possible interest is that my rough computation for the deflated state up quark: http://www.mtaonline.net/~hheffner/FusionUpQuark.pdf shows that the deflated state electrons have a gamma of 36,000, and mass of 3.3 x10^-26 kg, more than the rest mass of the deuteron. I think it is likely such an electron transitions frequently into a W-, and thus delays its stay in the deflated state, as well a increases the probability of a weak reaction. This state is probably made more likely by spin 0 partial orbitals, which should be common in a hydrogen loaded glass, and which pass directly through the hydrogen nucleus. Ni_x Zr_(1-x), Fe_x Zr_(1-x), and Nb_x Zr_(1-x) have been high on my list of things to try with protium, because pure Zr had such good properties. Now that Rossi has had such good luck with Ni, I figure Ni_x Zr_(1-x) has risen to the top. Best regards, Horace Heffner http://www.mtaonline.net/~hheffner/
