Wow, what a great batch of articles. The borax article
in www,<http://sparkbangbuzz.com>sparkbangbuzz.com just blew my
mind. I did notice the weird electrical capacitance, but I
dismissed that as a Battery effect of electrolysis, the positive ion
build up on the nickel and the negative ion build up on the
electrode. This article opens up a whole new can of worms;
especially the glow with Aluminum under 110VAC with borax. I was
running at a very low voltage AC, 18Volts, and when I turned of the
lights I thought I could see a very faint glow, but I could never
get it dark enough to really see and verify it.
One of the big questions at the time; 1989 was where is the
Cherenkov radiation?
(<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherenkov_radiation>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherenkov_radiation).
It was an important question for cold fusion since a surface
reaction should generate energetic particles, that should generate
photons in the D2 solution. We are talking about very low
probability of fusion, so the Intensity of that radiation (if that
is what it is), would be very small. But it should be there in a
surface effect. That would be really interesting to try.
What is also really bizarre is the RF noise from the process. I
mean WEIRD! That actually might be an secondary effect like
Cherenkov radiation where effects molecular quantum
states. Someone put a Geiger counter on that dude.
mmm.... I've seen a general understanding that if an oxygen bubble
hits a cathode loaded with hydrogen, the catalyst will cause
immediate recombination. Pieces of loaded palladium that break off of
cathodes and float will burn at the surface, when they hit the air.
Miles describes this effect.
In an AC situation, there would be alternate production of hydrogen
and oxygen at the same electrode. So one would expect a level of
recombination, which could, I'd think, easily produce a glow.
The RF shown on sparkbangbuzz --
<http://www.sparkbangbuzz.com/els/borax-el.htm>http://www.sparkbangbuzz.com/els/borax-el.htm
-- is not difficult to explain. This was with an electrode withdrawn
from the electrolyte to have only a very small surface immersed, or
even just in minimal contact with the surface. Bubble noise and high
current density vaporizing electrolyte, possibly igniting small
explosions, would reasonably create substantial RF noise under those
circumstances.
