Axil and Fran-- The answer to creating geometry that encourages single vortices may be in preparing the Ni alloy powder initially with a preferred magnetic moment "frozen" in. Then each particle of the Ni may allow only vortices in a single direction--the non cancelling mode. The "frozen" magnetic orientation would have to be maintained at the 1400 C the reactor operates at, but that may be possible. Any ambient magnetic field may be able to increase or decrease the life of the vortices in any given particle to control the energy produced in each particle.

They mention that polaritons are difficult to create synchronize and normally want to cancel by going in opposite directions. Could this explain the notorious difficulty in replication of LENR? Could success or failure of replication be based upon coincidence of asymmetry where geometries produce these same non cancelling vortices. Lasers may be a poor choice as you as you mentioned but I would still look closer at the mask end of this discovery where said laser creates plasmons in the mask apertures that translate back to photons at a shorter wavelength as they exit the aperature. I think that masking of the plasma may represent an exciting new parameter that deserves testing and evaluation. A laser might be difficult to incorporate in a reactor, but masks in a hi melting point metal like tungsten could be easily imbedded in, around and at different focal lengths to the powder where researchers would be wildcatting for effects from the ambient light already being produced as the powder is heated up to operating temp –not coherent light but utilizing an existing part of the system it would be an attempt to force the vortices into non cancelling mode.
