Kevin - I could not open that document, but it sounds similar to the Letts/Cravens effect. Can you post the abstract?
The Letts/Cravens effect could end up being more important than anyone realizes if the polariton is involved. Here is a Krivit interview with D.C. on the general subject. http://newenergytimes.com/v2/views/Group1/Cravens.shtml The more important new point in this regard - which I would like to bring up now due to the circumstances relates to the several new papers on room-temperature BEC polaritons... (of a few days ago, here is one of at least 3 similar papers): http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/2007/mar/27/polariton-laser-reaches -room-temperature The point is this: how could the Letts/Cravens effect NOT relate to the room-temperature BEC quasiparticle in some important way? It would be most interesting to hear from Dennis Cravens on this. BTW - it turns out that 5 years ago - another important detail in this broader niche emerged - which is the magnetic susceptibility of the host. Turns out that palladium is actually ferromagnetic when loaded with hydrogen - similar to nickel in fact. Here was my take on it back then in 2008 but this was before the polariton angle was found. http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg24020.html In reconsideration of all that we know - with an eye on the future - probably the most robust (but also the most toxic) way to move forward with this combination of Letts/Cravens laser effect in the context of the BEC-polariton - would be with a hybrid LENR/fission device. Yikes. Don't wince just yet, as this could be the lesser of two evils. Fission - despite all its baggage is far preferable to burning coal, and it produces no greenhouse gases, so if fission can be made more desirable then surely the Chinese will substitute it for coal, even if the USA is "too advanced" for a new and better kind of Uranium fission. This hybrid of LENR and U fission would be a concept which is massively subcritical, uses natural un-enriched metal and in small reactors which could be mass produced - but still needs plenty of shielding. LENR becomes the driving force for Uranium fission, and hydrogen in the matrix replaces of most of the neutron flux which would normally be required. The reactor could be small, but too "dirty" for use in an automobile; but could be shielded adequately with concrete for use as a "local" reactor in a factory or office building- in which hot water is free and electricity is cheap with no emissions. This concept would be far more acceptable as a replacement for normal fission or for coal, as it would be subcritical, safe and far cleaner than so-called "clean coal". Of course, it comes with the assumption that normal LENR does not permit a high enough COP when scaled-up to megawatts - to ever become commercially viable. Jones From: Kevin O'Malley Yes, but all of these processes you describe are done near absolute zero while using complex apparatus. This has no relationship to cold fusion. ***What about KP Sinha's Laser experiment in LENR ?
