Nano pulses Robert Godes (aka qfman), founder of Brillouin Energy has come up with an important engineering idea in the field of LENR: high energy nano-pulses.
Some background first, brief (picosecond or high femtoseconds) laser pulses cause Coulomb explosion. Depending on the type material being irradiated, enormous laser beam intensities are required (10–400 terawatt per square centimeter). This extreme power can only be delivered for a very brief instant of time. This powerful but narrow laser beam produces plasma of ionized atomic particles when a small amount of solid material explodes when hit with this high energy EMF pulse. A Coulomb explosion is a "cold" alternative to the dominant laser etching technique of thermal ablation, which depends on local heating, melting, and vaporization of molecules and atoms using less-intense longer duration laser beams. Extreme pulse brevity down only to the nanosecond regime is sufficient to localize thermal ablation – before material heating is produced and is conducted very far; the energy input (pulse) has long ended. Robert Godes does the same thing: extremely powerful cold energy delivery, in his reaction to keep his micro wires from burning up. His direct current pulse is only nanoseconds long but when they are in progress, they supply huge amounts of EMF to the lattice. For those using SWNTs in their reactions, they should draw a valuable lesson from Godes. They should pulse ultra-short high powered DC current down the SWNT via their substrate to produce maximum electrostatic fields but at the same time keep the SWNT cool and undamaged. How the reaction works. It has been observed that electron screening can reduce the coulomb barrier in the dust floating in space by many orders of magnitude: See the thread, Trojan Horse. There are large amounts of protons derived from high pressure hydrogen packed into the lattice of the reactor. The SWNT will induce an extreme electrostatically negative field in the lattice for a few nanoseconds. This negative EMF will draw these hydrogen ions (protons) near the now naked and ionized nuclei of the lattice. We now know that tunneling is proportional to the number of like positive charged particles that are close to the positively charged coulomb barrier. This large clustering of protons will aid one another through constructive Broglie matter wave interference to get one or two of their number to tunnel their way through the coulomb barrier of the lattice material whose nuclei has been greatly lowered by the negative field coming from the tip of the SWNT during the nano-pulse.
