Much of the science that underlies the Ni/H reactor is just at the publication stage. For example, I was just reading this newly released paper:
http://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1404/1404.3764.pdf *Magneto-photonic phenomena at terahertz frequencies* This paper has some tidbits of insights about how heat produces strong magnetic fields. First, light at terahertz frequencies are resonant with the magnetic fields that it induces, so light and the induced resultant magnetic fields are about the same frequency. This terahertz frequency timeframe is also the same as the lifetimes of induced SPP’s. Also, the intensity of the plasma pulse that produces the terahertz pulse is proportional to the light that the pulse produces. This says that the spark (as per DGT design) that produces the plasma that generates the terahertz light should contain as much INSTATANOUS power as possible. A glow plug emitting constant heat will produce an associated weak terahertz pulse because its instantaneous power level is proportionately very low (as per Rossi design) On Thu, Apr 24, 2014 at 12:26 PM, Peter Gluck <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear Jones, > thank you for this very interesting paper.
