Guys,
With nanotubes and QM - an argument can be made of a significantly large temperature differential inside vs outside CNT, but the minimum size is important. http://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1202/1202.1328.pdf Quote: “The behavior of water inside the smallest (6,6) CNT notably differs from that in larger tubes. Below the phase transition temperature water confined within the (6,6) CNT forms an ice-like single file structure.” END Apparently as much as 250K difference can be seen in the small diameter tubes indicating a QM effect. In principal, then it is not out of the question that Cooper pairs of electrons could from inside magnetized tubes (6,6) CNT and then be accelerated by tube vibrational resonance. You want the tube as hot as possible but not too hot. (the goldilocks rule) If the tube was held at around 250 K, which any good refrigerator can hit, this could happen. This is not cold fusion but an extremely cold cathode effect. In fact, in such a case – the “Edison effect” of cathode emission would serve to further cool the tubes, setting up a positive feedback situation. Maybe Rossi’s “mouse” can be improved as a chilled mousse of CNT:-)
