Peter,
The Polish device seems not to involve hydrogen, no? There is talk of an "election" or fractional electron at least in the PESN write-up I was in the process of trying to find something serious on this topic (aside from the FQHQ) and this turned up http://benevolententerprises.org/books/adv%20e%20phys.pdf Jones From: Peter Gluck A predictable event. In a message, I have received yesterday from Piantelli- re his LENR ideas (I am just translating it), he wrote inter alia: Why Pd is functioning badly? The answer is in the electronic conformation of Pd which compared to that of Nickel is more compact and therefore requires a higher kinetic energy for H- to overcome the greater energetic gap. Because we cannot go beyond a certain temperature, few H- ions have a sufficient energy (The cluster nanostructures are deteriorated at much lower temperatures than the bulk metal) The outer shell of electrons is much compact for Pd and more soft and this is the difference between the two metals. ( Zr works better than Pd) For example, based on the electronic conformation, it is sure that Cu, Ag, and Pt work even worse. Ni and many other transition metals have a more favorable conformation. I intend to expand later this very important concept closely related to the explanation of the anomalous phenomena, with the calculations and data I have in my possession" As I wrote in my small joke "NEW ENERGY SINGERS" Piantelli understands what happens, what works and what NOT. Zirconium works- it is a really nice metal. Peter On Thu, Mar 31, 2011 at 8:45 PM, Jed Rothwell <[email protected]> wrote: Somewhat similar to Rossi.
