Resend - Vortex not working -----Original Message----- From: Horace Heffner
> The statement: "Dipole attraction exactly cancels monopole repulsion at very short H-H distances." indicates the author probably hasn't even done a basic seat of the pants calculation as to what this means. This statement is nonsensical or irrelevant when applied to H- H proximity prior to fusion. Not at all, in my opinion. > This dipole attraction is also known as magnetism, and is the result of spin correlations, i.e. spin coupling, that occurs when particles are close. No! or should I say yes and no. You may need to take the same 'course' I took last night: http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/course/09-723/IntermolecularForces/IntermolecularF orces.pdf IOW the dipole interaction at close distance is "like magnetism" but not the precisely the same formalism - and unlike the equation you base your equations on, it turns out to be incorrect in this case. Keesom interactions are attractive interactions of dipoles that are Boltzmann-averaged over different rotational orientations of the dipoles. The energy of a Keesom interaction depends on the inverse sixth power of the distance, not the fourth or third. Now, like me, you probably were not aware of this possibility until now, but obviously the inverse 4th power and inverse sixth power are very different in terms of results for LENR ... and this what allows the possibility of overcoming Coulomb repulsion without the electron. I do understand the value of your hypothesis on the deflated electron otherwise, but this offers another simpler possibility that cannot be overlooked, since simplicity does invoke Ockham (which admittedly is a non-issue). You may not agree with the conclusion, and it certainly needs to be vetted more aggressively, but it is probably better to argue why you do not think the Keesom interaction is appropriate than to impugn Dr Brown or the publishers of his paper, when you have missed the critical issue. One does not easily get to Clarendon Laboratory at Oxford by dreaming up crank ideas ... ... otherwise they would have hired me years ago :) A similar paper is also in Jed's collection: http://www.lenr-canr.org/acrobat/BrownJenhancedlo.pdf Jones
