-----Original Message----- From: Bob Cook > Jones--You seem to conclude spin coupling is possible, why not in this case.
Bob - Spin coupling should easily be possible for a low to intermediate range of energies per atom - my guess is that it is sub-eV range, possibly milli-eV, but even if it goes up to keV that may not be enough to fit into the circumstances of ~24 MeV fusion. The very large energy to be shed, and the time required to accomplish that, in order to get to helium from deuterium, is the problem. Can you find anything in the literature that would indicate the very high levels of energy transfer via spin coupling which would be necessary? That would be a good start. After all, we are talking about nuclear spin coupling, which is presumably 500-800 times lower in intensity than EM spin coupling, based on the same geometry. BTW - since we are surely talking about another form of induction - what is the most efficient electrical transformer, in terms of energy transferred per unit of mass of the transformer? Can we work backwards from there? If not, why not? The recent distrust with DGT is another problem for spin coupling - since they claimed a magnetic field in the range of what implies high energy spin coupling. If that can be verified, then we are in new territory. When all is said and done - I like spin coupling as the preferred energy transfer mechanism in LENR, but find that it is much more defensible as a way to transfer the tiny amount of sequential energy of say - the Lamb Shift, or the Casimir dynamical effect, or at the high end, the binding energy of positronium - instead of the huge amount of energy of deuterium fusion to helium.
