And the latest on paired electrons is the recent findings in superconductivity, which I often think of as the legitimate cousin to the bastard stepchild of LENR. Besides LENR being related to SC in mysterious ways, more than two ways actually - involving both electron pairing and magnetic vortices, there is one other close analogy of the two technologies – which is “multiple paths” to the anomaly, instead of a single channel. “Two types of superconductivity” as opposed to one - met with widespread negativity from the establishment in 1950 when it was first proposed - and until recently many were not convinced there could be more than one type. The mainstream back then said Ockham only wanted one path – and a few are still holding out. Now experts are proposing at least 8 subtypes of SC, and surely there will be more depending on the parameters of differentiation including 1) Response to a magnetic field 2) Theory of pairing 3) Critical temperature groupings 4) Material groupings. There is overlap, but a few important types are highly differentiated by more than one parameter: Type I BSC Cooper pairing Type II Cooper pairing HTSC – copper oxide RTSC – polymer based Iron SC Covalent – including diamond and CNT Hydrogen loaded SC i.e. palladium hydride Exciton-mediated electron pairing, as opposed to phonon-mediated pairing in BCS …with several more on the horizon Since the introduction of deuterium cold fusion in 1989, there are more than a dozen different and distinct hydrogen energy anomalies which have turned up in experiments – and very few observers are willing to admit that now, since the single anomaly of P&F has itself been so hard to prove. … hmm… probably time to update the “dirty dozen LENR list” (actually up to 16 by now) to include Ps2… which may have another tie-in to HTSC via the Dirac sea, which is possibly superconductive, at the interface.
