You would need to supply 7 MeV to make the reaction happen. Even if you could temporarily modify the strong force, the overall energy balance has to turn out positive if you are going to get excess heat. You need to indicate where this energy is coming from. It is not coming from the fission of 62Ni into 58Fe and 4He, because that costs energy, it doesn't produce it. >The strong force is not affected or overcome by the >kinetic energy of an excited particle; the strong force is just removed by >an EMF that gently deactivates the strong force. > > > >The alpha particle drifts out of the nickel nucleus gently.

Even if the BEC were capable of doing this, the net effect of the 62Ni => 58Fe reaction that you mention would be cooling, not heating. BTW there are a few such reactions that are indeed energy positive, e.g. 208Pb - 4He => 204Hg + 0.5 MeV. 206Pb - 4He => 202Hg + 1.14 MeV. This might theoretically be useful, if the mechanism you describe actually exists. > > > > >On Tue, Dec 17, 2013 at 3:56 PM, <mix...@bigpond.com> wrote: > >> In reply to Axil Axil's message of Mon, 16 Dec 2013 18:01:07 -0500: >> Hi, >> [snip] >> >> BTW as for the concept of laser induced nuclear reactions, consider the >> following: >> >> Most of the thermal energy in a Rossi reactor will be random.
