One more detail to add into the mix of the Kullander finding (which has always looked suspicious before now).
The very first patent for Mu metal was GB279549. Smith, et al July 27, 1926.
“A nickel-copper-iron alloy of high magnetic permeability”
Mu metals today can still be found which are nickel-copper-iron.
Additionally, there are similarities between superconductivity and Mu metal.
Expelling a magnetic field is one similarity, accomplished in different
ways.
I wish we had some confidence in the Kullander report, and that indeed the
results of a long run of the Rossi reactor is that nickel converts to
Ni-Cu-Fe
From: Danny Ross Lunsford
I've always suspected that LENR Is a complicated nuclear
oscillation process about the highest possible binding energy for a nucleon.
It must share with superconductivity that this oscillation, once stimulated,
can continue undissipated indefinitely.
[snip] just for laughs… consider…
Two Ni-58 plus a proton equals 117 nucleons;
and one Cu-63
plus one Fe-54 is the same.
Kullander supposedly found that about 21% of
Rossi’s
starting nickel had been transmuted into 10% copper and 11%
iron, and that
the copper and nickel were in natural isotopic proportions.
The implication
is that some kind of musical-chairs shuffle of nucleons is
possible (if we
believe his findings) and that nickel nucleons convert to
copper and iron in
roughly equal proportions in a novel reaction. This is
bizarre, but no more
so than anything else Rossi has claimed.
Maybe this novel reaction is Higgs-mediated
:-)
What is a nucleon exchange reaction? Well,
this is actually
not unheard of, and the Oppenheimer-Phillips reaction is the
simple version.
It takes a lot of imagination to go any further than that,
but there are a
few papers out there…
FWIW – the reason that the Higgs “particle” was mentioned as
the catalyst
for a nucleon exchange reaction is that
1) The “particle” is more of an energy-sink than a real
particle, based
on the way it was discovered and documented at LHC. The
Higgs has the
features of a quanta of energy which is absorbed in an
adjoining dimension
as a stabilizing mechanism or energy sink.
2) The putative mass energy of the Higgs is 125 GeV
which is larger
than 117 nucleons, but possibly within a working range of
resonance.
3) The hypothesis is that the Higgs quanta is induced
into 3-space by
some mechanism related to the very high nuclear stability of
nickel, and
that it forms a kind of ghostly shadow on the reactants,
resulting in
nucleon exchange which Kullander discovered.
4) After all, we are still trying to find a
justification for the $5
billion bucks or more which was spent on LHC in order to
obtain this ghostly
bit of information
In conclusion, this adds a whole new meaning to “Zeitgeist”
or should that
be “Geisteskrank”
