Thanks Jones, very nice citations, not the OU discount of molecular bond disassociation threshold I was suggesting but I think we both got the DCE right! I am not sure about the Haisch-Moddel patent as prior art, their "cavities" were .1u drilled holes and I don't believe they even mentioned hydrogen in their patent as the original plan was noble gas and Lamb pinch.. I recall correspondence with Professor Moddel wrt one of my blogs on their patent where I had assumed they were using hydrogen and got my hand slapped for misrepresenting their approach and scheme. I know they specify Lamb pinch and am pretty sure their streaming gas was helium but I am not sure if this makes a difference wrt the "quark soup" you mention.. I know their idea doesn't include the smaller - more robust geometries that Rossi powders form where those tiny hairs protrude from his micron scale grains of powder and do not recall any success producing OU. They were certainly on the right path but IMHO they were missing the asymmetry and SPP we are now discovering to be paramount for LENR to occur [asymmetry], control and extract [linkage]. Fran

As mentioned previously in the context of Rossi, there is a possibility that providing a reactor of sintered alumina, which is both translucent and nanoporous, will accentuate the production of SPP along the interface of high current wires which have been incorporated into the structure. The high field so the SPP then interact with protons trapped in the Cavities. If so, and Charles Rosendorf is successful in having his applications granted then it would have added value in the context of Rossi. However, U.S. Pat. 7,379,286 was issued May 27, 2008 to Haisch, et al. entitled "Quantum Vacuum Energy Extraction" and would seem to negate that possibility. There are a growing number of observers who believe that the SPP can interact with protons in a Casimir cavity in such a way as to obtain energy from QCD. This is because a treasure trove of new-old information has turned up from the 1980s on quark confinement in Casimir cavities. More on that later. There are some interesting equations starting on page 6 here which define the roll of ZPE and the strong force in the context of quarks. If required spectra of the ZPF are suppressed in a cavity, then we may end up with "quark soup" in place of a proton. http://www.ardeshirmehta.com/ModificationOfTheStrong.pdf All of which implies that a "new energy source", the one which is involved in some kinds of LENR is actually sub-nuclear, in the sense of quantum vacuum interactions involving loose quarks of trapped protons in Casimir cavities. We may need to change the name of LENR to LTQS (low temperature quark soup)...
