Hi, got this per mail. I forward this to the list on request by the author. Hope I did the subject line correctly.

(I reply by direct mail since I don't subscribe the vortex list although I read it sometimes.) Perhaps condensed hydrogen exists as long tubes within lattice defects going through the matrix, see Figure 1 (at the end) of the following article: http://www.phys.unsw.edu.au/STAFF/VISITING_FELLOWS&PROFESSORS/pdf/MileyClusterRydbLPBsing.pdf Who knows, perhaps 1-D physics in a long narrow tube is different enough that one doesn't need high pressure to create it. A substance containing such one- dimensional "super-defects" wouldn't necessarily behave macroscopically as a superconductor, so such a phenomenon might have gone unnoticed. Once having dense hydrogen inside the metal somewhere, then perhaps cold fusion could occur as p+p+Ni->Cu+p (such multi-nucleon process could explain why there are no hard gammas produced). In the above paper they quote 2.3 pm as mean proton spacing in the ultradense phase. Such internuclear distance is only about 200 times larger than the nickel nucleus diameter. Perhaps that's small enough to get some triple nucleon fusion yield already. r:/p. -- ______________________________________________________________ Pekka Janhunen tel +358 9 1929 4635 Finnish Meteorological Institute fax +358 9 1929 4603 Kumpula Space Centre P.O.Box 503, FI-00101 Helsinki, Finland [email protected] http://www.space.fmi.fi/~pjanhune/ ______________________________________________________________
