Axil, Robert, Jones etal.-- How does the mass energy of a nucleus transfer to the plasmons described in this article?
It must be the secret sauce of Rossi's reactor. The mechanism of transferring the energy to the dipoles of the nanoplasmonic substance and, hence via super radiance to the lattice of the metal, seems correct assuming the nanoplasmonic coherent system or entity is pumped up in energy by something. The paper cited does not address the possible ways of exciting the available plasmonic entity Eigen states. It does suggest that Eigen values of spin 1 are preferred in the transfer of small quanta of energy to the metal lattice and this suggests a mechanism for mass transfer to the plasmonic entity. Potentially, a two way reaction takes place where an excited nucleus with its angular momentum Eigen states transfers more one quanta of angular momentum to the plasmonic state. This would change the odds for the return to a lower energy nuclear state of the original nucleus and potentially favor a new set of nuclei which conserve the angular momentum of the coherent system--nuclei and nanoplasmonic state with a transfer of many additional quanta to the plasmonic entity one quanta at a time. The nanoplasmonic state then proceeds to transfer its excess angular momentum energy back to the metal lattice (as suggested in the paper from Jackson State and the French University contributors) with the excess mass changed to small bits of radiant energy and hence to heat. Exciting the Eigen states of the original nucleus is nothing more than what is done in NMR (MRI) machines and maybe Rossi's reactor.

Please...yes, you are all on the right track,,,This is all standard nanoplasmonic theory. What is not covered by you good fellows yet and the area that I am still ahead on is how the SPP concentrate EMF and project it to cause nuclear reactions with the help of particle formation from the vacuum..

Lots of top-level Russians have come to the US simply to get away from that madness. Of course, this interlocking set of hypotheses we are talking about - is still a house of cards, and to combine so many mechanisms into a model which was ostensibly supposed to be based on nuclear fusion but is now completely different - is going to ruffle a lot of feathers. But clearly there is no nuclear reaction involved in this experiment, and if there can be 1.5 megawatt of heat with counts that are actually less than background - I think we are on the right track to pursue any valid alternative, even if the thermal gain was half the claim; and this hybrid explanation is looking better and better as the papers mount up suggesting that the SPP, superradiance and MIMS details are themselves relevant. The Casimir leg of the table is a bit shakier, but maybe not since it is based on solid results for several major Universities. Hopefully the MFMP will see a further validation of this M.O. - if and when their "dummy" turns out to produce what could be slight gain. That would be my expectation. Thanks for your insight. -----Original Message----- From: Robert Ellefson Dear Vortex-L, Stimulated by Jones Beene's thoughts on a coherent lasing system based on a Dynamical Casimir Effect (DCE) from his postings earlier today, I hope to encourage further discussion along these lines of thought. In reference to the characteristic morphology of the nickel ash grain (particle 1, figure 2, page 43) that I described in this posting: http://www.mail-archive.com/vortex-l%40eskimo.com/msg98350.html I believe that the abundant 2-micron protrusions in the nickel ash represent dipole oscillators which have literally evolved from the initial nickel fuel grain clusters during the startup and then operation of reactor. These oscillators form a coupled, complex, highly non-linear system that could be described as a LENR-driven LASER analog, much like the SPASER systems that are emerging in laboratories right now in the nanoscale, except these structures are micron-scale. One interesting paper which provides a potential analog is: http://arxiv.org/pdf/1001.0422v3.pdf ("Plasmon-mediated superradiance near metal nanostructures") It is my contention that the observed microstructures in the nickel ash grain are _directly homologous_ to the Eigen-modes of this coherent system. I believe that Ni-Li neutron exchange reactions are being stimulated by SPP and phonon interactions on the protruding structures, and are producing a form of polychromatic superradiance such as that observed during reactions involving Metastable Innershell Molecular States (MIMS, aka ballotechnics). I suspect the energy gain comes from the vacuum during the LENR reaction, which I currently picture as a high-velocity collision of Li-Ni-Li that produces a MIMS reaction which also (hand-waving here) exchanges neutrons between lithium and nickel. This emits only intense photon and phonon energy, some of which couples back into the system to drive further reactions, while the rest is thermalized in the reactor shell. If this is true, then only the EMF stimulation is needed to control the reactor via SPP pumping once a certain operating temperature threshold has been reached by external heating. Rossi could simplify his control by separating these two functions of heating and EMF stimulation, I suspect. This separation may be the primary function of the mouse/cat reactor configuration, where the mouse emits primarily photons as the cat's controlling input, once a minimum temperature is reached throughout the system. Using only EMF pumping to control the reaction would also greatly improve the COP, which may be part of the reason why the systems that Rossi demonstrates still have combined heating and RF control inputs. I suspect that if you were to construct a good approximation of the nickel ash grain morphology with natural nickel, combined it with lithium and large iron grains, and stimulated it with EMF while at a high enough temperature, that you would see this system become active and gainful. A high-resolution 3-d printer could do this, as could a plethora of extant micro-fabrication techniques. Then again, given that Rossi's systems evolve in-situ from powdered fuel, why bother with fabricating machines? The main purpose I can think of for a designed and manufactured fuel morphology would be to optimize the potential for electrical output while minimizing thermal output. I hope these ideas are able to inspire further insights into this system. -Bob Ellefson
