This is an excellent interview. Have not finished yet, but there are a few things to add. Ahern is strongly impressed with a magnetic invention (Manelas device) since he did the 8 day test - and which device others have belittled. It is similar to the Floyd Sweet device (for the historians of overunity). The cross-connection to LENR is not easy to explain but is there.
It can be noted up front that Ahern does not believe that there is any evidence whatsoever for nuclear fusion in LENR. That includes deuterium fusion to helium and especially Ni-H. He thinks it is all nanomagnetic. Nanomagnetism is roughly equivalent to a combination of superferromagnetism and superparamagnetism. They are two are extremes of the same phenomenon. He believes that the helium seen in Pd-D is basically measurement error - noise. Krivit is probably pleased with that assessment. From: Alan Fletcher Foks0904 wrote: I'm sure many of you know of Brian Ahern from his EPRI report, his MIT colloquium appearance earlier this year, and now his collaboration with MFMP. Even if you're not aware of him, I think this conversation has enough for 3-4 threads worth of topics. We even flirt with the ever-so-dangerous & taboo possibility of "perpetual motion". Titled: "Nanomagnetism, Cooperative Modes, & Non-Linear LENR". Hope you guys/gals enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_kID_E-3tY An outline can be found here: http://jmag0904.wordpress.com/2014/07/25/dr-brian-ahern-nanomagnetism-cooper ative-modes-non-linear-lenr/ That's a MUST-LISTEN link. (And I'm only half-way through!) Goes into some of the history of anharmonic modes (related to discrete breathers, Quodons we've discussed recently). At about 19minutes he says superconductivity and (super?)-ferro-magnetism are closely related (and that the latter persists up to a thousand degrees.). Then I *think* he says that LENR could be a localized ferromagnetic effect tapping into vacuum energy. Needs a transcript.
