The inverse cube law is normally seen when a two pole magnet is observed at a dimension that is relatively large compared to the spacing between those poles. If you monitor the field variation when close to one of the poles you get the second order behavior. The actual internal structure of the magnetic field generation is not known so it is highly speculative to assume that the external magnetic field originates from one tiny region within the reactor. I personally think that the field is the net vector sum of a very large number of tiny sources and hence may not become as large as is suggested as we close in on those individual sources. The time rate of change of the field becomes important as one attempts to understand the penetration of that field through the structure. A rapidly changing field is attenuated strongly by conductive material while a steady field has a free pass. It is OK to speculate wildly on vortex since that is one of the guiding principles, but we must always realize that most of these ideas will turn out to be false once the true nature of the beast is revealed. Dave Good post. Something similar wrt a non-stationary magnetic field happens with another anomalous device - which is called the Manelas/Sweet device, mentioned here before. There may be a non-obvious connection to LENR. A visual image of levitation of a hat pin, above the magnet of this device, is seen in slide-6, here: http://e-catsite.com/manelas-device/ I have one of these conditioned billets. The field strength on the surface is not high, typical for a ferrite and it alternates in polarity across the surface, and is fluid - in the sense of self-moving in certain areas where the poles change. There is a focal point of highest field strength purposely located above the center region, which is significantly away (removed) from the surface. This magnet was the impetus which has pushed Ahern towards a theory of "nanomagnetism" which is seen in both LENR and in exotic electronic devices. BTW, in operation the Manelas magnet drops in temperature by several degrees below ambient, even though it is operating as the core of 50-watt transformer! Go figure.
