How do the intense electric fields arise that are responsible for cooper pair formation of protons in LENR via the Shukla-Eliasson effect?
You don’t need electron concentration to produce strong electric fields. Intense Light concentration will also produce a proportionately large electric field. Light intensity at 10^^12 (watts/cm2) produces a strong Electric field at (10^^9) Volts/meter. Reference: See Page 3, chapter 2. - Basic concepts of nonlinear optics on table 1 in http://www.mitr.p.lodz.pl/evu/lectures/Vauthey.pdf Introduction to nonlinear optical spectroscopic techniques for investigating ultrafast processes In conclusion, a soliton of intense super-fluidic and coherent light will form cooper pairs of protons in the close proximity of the light based soliton. The Ni/H reactor may be acting as a polariton laser turned in on itself in a dark mode producing long lived, coherent, and stable Light based solitons in a zero loss mode. Regarding Ed Storms quote: “Many explanations have been proposed that are based on imagined ways energy could accumulate in sufficient amount in the chemical lattice to overcome the Coulomb barrier, either directly or as result of neutron formation. These processes also occasionally involve accumulation of extra electrons between the hydrogen nuclei as another way to hide the barrier. These suggestions ignore the severe limitations a chemical lattice imposes on energy accumulation and electron structure. Some proposed processes even ignore obvious conflicts with what has been observed. Consequently, none have been useful in directing future research or have achieved universal acceptance.” Both huge magnetic and electric fields can be generated using light without the handicap of coulomb repulsion limiting the power levels achievable in these EM fields.
