-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] BTW, a recently published cold D+D fusion patent application is - Deuterium Reactor -- US 20130235963 A1
ABSTRACT The Deuterium Reactor is a fusion reactor whose design is based upon a non-singular electrostatic required by the quantization of electric charge. This potential allows for a significant reduction in the fusion barrier of deuterium nuclei when these nuclei are held in close proximity, as within a crystal, and preconditioned using a magnetic field. Lou, interesting find, in a way. At first this application seemed nutty, but the inventor was funded by a small grant from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Head_Naval_Surface_Warfare_Center Whether that adds any credibility to the application is debatable. One might reasonably ask: what is "a non-singular electrostatic required by the quantization of electric charge." Sounds cranky. Given the Quantum Hall Effect, it is hard to imagine what the inventor is talking about - unless he is invoking Mills' f/H or redundant ground states - from another perspective, or else Landau quantization. In regard to the later, the De Haas-van Alphen effect may indeed have a place in a hypothesis for "nanomagnetism" in LENR ... in the way that Ahern and others are suggesting, yet I do not remember seeing this effect mentioned before now. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Haas%E2%80%93van_Alphen_effect Jones
