Eric, Since from now on, you will probably be tagged as the main proponent of “LENR gamma suppression” on Vortex, here is a site that that might interest you on the topic of N-radiation… which would be one way gammas are dealt with…
http://srnrl.com/id4.html Cold or “negative radiation” is predicted by the four dimensional quantum geometry these guys expound. It is actually a compelling argument with a bit of real data… _____________________________________________ Well, there are degrees of fancifulness … and to my mind it is less of a leap of faith to say that “LENR gamma suppression”, if it were to be proved, could be made as useful as basic lightweight shielding of fission reactors, if not more so - compared to being solely used as the way that transmutation is hidden during operation of a thermal cell. IOW – if gamma suppression exists at all as a physical reality, for which there is little evidence, then it is very likely (to my thinking) that it can be extended to other uses than the one in which it was found. Why not? Makes no sense to say it is limited to LENR, if it is a physical reality. Of course, if the COP in LENR was really proved to be in the range of 6 or higher, which Rossi claims but for which there is no proof, then maybe this point would be moot, and then we forget the other options and go with LENR only. But what if the COP in Ni-H turns out to be about the same as the Thermacore results – which was somewhere in the range of 1.4 over a year of operation? Since you have not investigated Thermacore, you probably did not realize the low COP that they were struggling with. Many who have looked closely at Rossi’s results see the same kind of slight gain, a proved gain but not a large gain… and Rossi has continually lowered expectations as the months pass with no proof of any gain. It is quite possible that DGT has a COP of less than two also. That explains why they do not want the test data released. Their data does show gain, but only slight gain, and they cannot sell $50 million licenses with COP<2. Although a low COP is not enough to use commercially for LENR, even for hot water, due to the overhead it brings with it – nevertheless – if there really was a shielding effect, then who cares about the low COP? Use if with accelerator driven fusion on a small scale (tabletop accelerator). If you're suggesting that what is being proposed is more in the realm of sci-fi than science, I have no issue with that. But we should keep an open mind about various possibilities and not rule them out of hand. So far I have seen nothing in what has been suggested in connection with active gamma suppression that is so far-out that an explanation could not eventually be found for it. You have given reasons against it, and they are well-taken. But you have not made a case that is so compelling that the possibility is obviously simply a fanciful one, which is the conclusion you seem to want to draw here. Eric
