So, you are hypothesizing fission of Nickel? Wouldn't that
be unlikely considering that nickel is such a stable element? ...What would
be the fission reaction paths ending up with these elements.
Jojo,I have been pursuing what is a "default" theory which has been posted to Newsgroups for the past few months to explain nickel-hydrogen gain. It is basically "what is left" when you eliminate the theories which cannot work, due to actual results and especially lack of gammas. The theory is fully falsifiable, unlike the others. My major hypothesis is that the gain does derive from mass-to-energy conversion, even if there is little or no actual fusion, fission, beta decay or transmutation, since the proton mass is not quantized. The proton mass-energy is in the vicinity of 938.272013 MeV on average (even this accepted value is in contention) but this value becomes what is really an "average mass" based on whatever the most advanced current measurement technique is being use before recalibration. The average mass can vary a fractional percent or more between atoms, as either "overage" or "deficit" and the hydrogen will still be hydrogen. The overage fraction is in play for conversion into energy via QCD, and this becomes the mystery energy source for Ni-H reactions, whether they be from Mills, Rossi, DGT, Piantelli, Celani, or Thermacore. It all begins with spillover, and most likely the process must have a Casimir connection - in the geometry and porosity. A fraction of hydrogen average mass overage, when in-play (with about a third of the heaviest atoms) - would be partly convertible to energy when the strong force is pitted against Coulomb repulsion or in a number of other scenarios, but no actual fusion or fission or decay. The predecessor event is when spillover hydrogen is captured in a Casimir sized nano-pore (2-12 nm), and later, when it recombines into H2 or is expelled at high velocity by Coulomb force prior to that. The standard model gives us 938.272013 MeV as hydrogen mass but the quark component is small for all three - but is the only component which is relatively "fixed" by standard theory; and at least one hundred MeV is present but not required to bind quarks. This is the bosonic quantum "glue" and some of it is expendable. Thus, there is plenty of wiggle room for quasi-nuclear gain, even if most of the "glue" must be retained, since quarks are not mutually attractive without it. Bottom line, there is a range of expendable mass-energy of the non-quark remainder bosons (pions, gluons, etc) in the proton average mass - which is extractable as the 'gain' seen in the Ni-H thermal effect - yet the proton maintains its identity and no radioactivity or transmutation needs to show up. Ironically, this is still a "nuclear reaction" but is being labeled as quasi-nuclear, to avoid confusion. Jones l
