The Rydberg wavelength is a natural unit in all physics, given that hydrogen is 90% of the known universe. Nothing novel there.
The problem - in making any sense out of Frank's constant is that (as he well knows) IR light is not a single frequency, nor even a characteristic frequency, but instead has a wide range of approximately 1 to 400 THz. If we were to use an average of 200 THz to be "IR frequency" then he could make an interesting prediction at 50 nm, but what about the fact that the trigger temperature in Ni-H is nowhere close to 200 THz. Oops... oh well... let's let an Alien Scientist try to rationalize or gloss-over that little problem ? Thus, the mild skepticism that megahertz-meter is anything more than a "maybe" at best, or a dart throw at worst... I like Frank, and his perseverance - and hope he is right, since it would be useful if correct - but there are too many lose ends here to get enthusiastic or even to use this value to design a meaningful experiment around. From: Hoyt A. Stearns Jr. Interesting. 45.6nm is also ½ the Rydberg wavelength and the natural unit of length in Dewey Larson's Reciprocal System of physics. -----Original Message----- From: fznidar...@aol.com "50 nano-meters ..is the magic domain that produces a detectable cold fusion reaction" Jed Rothwell, Infinite Energy, Issue 29, 1999, page 23. 50nm times ir freq = 1 million meters per sec; Znidarsic's constant.
