I just read Peter's article http://egooutpeters.blogspot.com/2012/06/some-questions-regarding-ed-storms- new.html on Ed Storms theory. After several exchanges with Ed here on vortex this weekend, I am willing to admit the hydron is a better theory than my endless reaction between H2 and H1 precipitated by changes in Casimir geometry. I am not willing however to dismiss the change in Casimir geometry as the bootstrap mechanism behind what Ed terms "NAE" or my relativistic interpretation of Casimir effect which explains the anomalous decay effects reported for radioactive gases. I believe in conservation of miracles and that all these anomalous claims should track back to a single quantum effect applied in different ways. I suspect Reiseifenschweiler effect, sono fusion and plasma engines are all cousins with a common underlying criteria [DCE]. Ed's theory provides a new pathway -linkage that allows energy to be extracted out from the "hydrons" to the walls of NAE where it can be exploited as thermal energy. The covalent resonating H2 ion is both plausible and worth pursuing, at worst it would still result in VERY useful clues. At best Ed may have nailed it and Peters focus on trans theories can simply wait to fall out from the race for IP that will ensue the minute OU is validated.
Fran Question #2: The model will be a "trans-theory" only to the extent that it is acknowledged as plausible and worth exploring. This acceptance is not assured at this time. As for whether one or many theories are required depends on how many ways Nature has to cause LENR. I assume only one basic method is possible. Therefore, only one theory is needed, i.e. the correct one. We will have to wait until the proper tests are made to determine which theory is correct. My model shows exactly which tests need to be done.
