… we've been going back and forth and throwing around some
of the ideas we think might explain what's going on in LENR and Rossi's
device. There are many different ways to categorize possible explanations,
but for the moment I'll put them in four categories:
1. Explanations involving fusion of some kind without the catalysis of
stable shrunken hydrogen (a.k.a. f/H, hydrinos, DDL hydrogen, etc.).
2. Explanations involving stable shrunken hydrogen in some way (with or
without leading to fusion).
3. Explanations involving nanomagnetism, the mass of the proton, the
Higgs boson, etc., without fusion or the catalysis of stable shrunken
hydrogen; i.e., anything not in (1), (2) or (4).
4. Artifact and experimental error.
I've purposely organized these categories around "stable"
shrunken hydrogen. For the immediate purpose, if an explanation involves a
stable form of f/H, DDL, etc., it goes into (2), no matter what else it
entails (e.g., the mass of a proton). I've added (4) just to cover all the
possibilities.
This is a good start. I think we can add a few other talking points
including a very different conclusion
5) Reaction is robust, but not “on demand” and not reliable, as opposed to
“artifact” or “error”
6) Spin-coupling of the metal matrix magnons, or the (Ni) nucleus to DDL (as
part of nanomagnetism) is a major mechanism for energy transfer
7) Rossi was possibly correct about a prime role of Ni-62
8) The DDL is actually formed by SPP interaction, instead of the Mills
mechanism
9) Photons in the ranged of 3.6-3.7 keV will be the signature of LENR and
await the proper instrumentation
10) Mizuno’s results will eventually surpass Rossi’s.
In conclusion, I will go with the unambiguous prediction that nuclear
fusion, unless it is instantly reversible for small gain, cannot occur
without gamma emission. However, small amounts of fusion and a few gammas
are expected in any scenario involving DDL. Since fusion is not needed for
substantial excess energy, it is incidental to the main reaction. As little
as a few ppm or as much as a few percent of the energy anomaly may be
attributed to fusion, but most will derive from the emission of the 3.7 keV
gamma. The ultimate source of that energy is depletion of nuclear mass via
spin coupling (of any reactant – including H, Ni, or K or another reactant
which is a trade secret).
