LENR Is Real
Re: LENR Is Real
The real problem here is that the charletons like Rossi clutter the field and distract funding and proper attention to real science (like EMC2).
Investors must sort the trash and toss all the crackpots aside. This is hard due to crackpot density and lack of real understanding on the investor's part.
Greedy Idiots like Rossi only make things harder for the folks doing real work like Jaeyoung Park.

Re: LENR Is Real
Iran, supposedly. They're studying the DPF, and word is they have a Polywell program as well. I don't see China venturing very far into alternative fusion concepts unless the West leads the way. Then again, they are developing thorium fission technology, so you never know. However, they are already planning a demonstration tokamak reactor, and I think the chances it gets built are somewhat better than ITER's.MSimon wrote:So where is the action from other interests?

It seems to me that since the Navy has gotten seriously involved with Polywell with regards to is application to their weapons systems, information about what the Navy is doing regarding Polywell development is almost nonexistent.
In the near future, Polywell may be integrated into many Naval weapons systems and because of the sensitivities of weapons system, the engineering principles of a military grade Polywell may not be revealed for decades to come.
To avoid an intimate connection between weapons and LENR, I believe that the Department of Energy is allowing LENR to be developed through the use of civilian money to enable immediate public impact of this paradigm changing technology.

The current administration has been cutting fusion funding , or better stated relocating fusion funding overseas for the past two years.
They even cut MIT project and if it was not for the efforts of Reinier Beeuwkes threatening to cut that 2 million dollars funding he gives democrats every year even it would have been dead.
We just do not have any large Donors to put the press on this administration to revive polywell.
That is the reality of where we stand.

Dear Andrea,
Could you please tell us a little more about the electromagnetic fields detected from your device? They have nothing to do with the upcoming report which is only measuring heat production, so I hope you can share just a bit of info. For example:
1 – What form of EM fields are you measuring? Magnetic? Electrostatic?
2 – Where are they detected? Inside the reactor? Outside?
3 – What is the strength of the field in Tesla, if it is a magnetic field?
4 – Is it pulsing or constant?
My dream would be that you could design a low temp E-Cat that would produce pulsing magnetic fields outside of the reactor. If this was the case, you could wrap a coil of copper wire around it and convert the magnetism to electricity. I can imagine such a solid state E-Cat being used to power an RF cavity thruster so we could colonize the solar system.

This tells me that DGT has a more powerful reaction than Rossi has. DGT has EMF emissions that are not contained even with double Faraday cage shielding, but Rossi's EMF is weak enough to be contained by the reactor structure. As always, my judgment holds if Rossi is telling the truth and he may not be doing so in order to protect his interests with regards to the electrical safety of his reactor.

Re: LENR Is Real
Introductiontomclarke wrote:The gap between nuclear and lattice energy scales is what makes LENR so implausible.
One side of this is the Coulomb barrier: stuff in lattices has energy of 10s of eV (else it would not be in the lattice!) whereas nuclear needs 10s of keV, assuming all sorts of reaction enhancements.
The Coulomb barrier is worse than it seems: the timescale of nuclear reactions means that the required energy must be available within a small volume (a single nucleus) there is no way for collective behaviour of multiple nuclei to participate in this because they are too far away.
The other side of this is that nuclear reactions, once they happen, have multiple paths all of which result in high energy released, and therefore high energy products. The energies here are MeV typically. Some paths also result in neutrons released which whether high or low energy are easily detected - solitary neutrons are a no-no and neutrons can only stop being solitary by transmuting elements.
The biggest problem for LENR is the lack of nuclear products. It is also the easiest way to detect LENR - if it were real the nuclear products produced, even at very low levels, could be detected and would be unambiguously nuclear in origin.
Now look at the ways round this:
You can look at electromagnetic resonances, or vibrational resonances, to push local energy up from characteristic 1eV.
You can look (as above) at ways that high energy reaction products can be caught in lattices. (Actually frequency division of photons is a really bad example of this: it is not easy to make happen and anyway does not reduce energy enough).
As an engineer look at the improbabilities here:
(1) find some way round the Coulomb barrier. Seems impossible but many such things turn out to be possible, so let us suppose this can be done.
(2) a mechanism to get rid of ALL reaction results.
This, from an engineering POV, is the problem. How could any such "product processing" method be so 100% reliable that results are never seen? Worse - all nuclear reactions have multiple reaction pathways, with different results: gammas, alphas, betas, neutrons. We need a whole set of "product processing" mechanisms all of which work 100% if the time.
And no such product processing method has been shown to exist, let alone one that works 100% of the time. We need at least 3 different product processing methods for neutrons, gammas and betas/alphas. All of which are tuned to work perfectly in every single LENR experiments.
Now, again as an engineer, look at the evidence. Work over 30 years has failed to find any reaction products. The simple solution for this is that there are no reaction products because there is no fusion. Theoretical work over the same period has failed to find any plausible mechanism for "product processing", except the W-L gamma shield. That does not wash because it would vanish as soon as the W-L slow neutron generation mechanism stopped, whereas nasty gammas from neutron capture intermediate product decay would continue for the half-life of whatever intermediate products you have.
As an engineer you reckon theories can have exceptions and a cast-iron proof something is impossible may not be real. But equally as an engineer you look at the lack of products and reckon LENR is not real.
The exception would be a magic mechanism that simultaneously allows nuclear reactions and prevents all reaction products from appearing (not just one product from one decay path). Such has never been hypothesised.
Changing hats, as a scientist you look at LENR and say it is no good because it does not predict anything definite (except reaction products - which we do not see!). Excess heat is a non-specific prediction. The main characteristic of LENR is that it is flakey and not reliable - rather like experimental error! A hypothesis which does not predict anything can never be disproved but is equally not much good. Ask what evidence could come from experiment that would disprove LENR and you will see what I mean! It can never be disproved, which explains why people who are both bad engineers and bad scientists go on chasing it.
One of the many miracles that we see in LENR is the stabilization of its nuclear waste products. This miracle is real as witnessed by a number of patents having been awarded that have this LENR base isotope stabilization effect as the centerpiece of its operating mechanism. [1,2]
Furthermore, a newly recognized phenomenon involving a violation in the common rule held by science that nuclear decay rates are fixed and constant has been shown to be violated by something emanating from the sun. The results of many experiments showing this phenomenon has rocked the physics community. This fixed rate of radioactive decay has been shown to vary widely under some strange force that arises out of the core of the sun. [3,4]
There is something that is causing LENR and at the same time stabilizing its reaction waste products. One pleasing and elegant idea is that both phenomena are caused by the same thing. This article is an exploration of the possibility that just a single factor is the fundamental mechanism of LENR causation. We also attempt to show how this one critical factor can produce both LENR characteristics with one characteristic emerging from the other.
Finally, this article will tie in the explanation of how magnetism is produced as an end product of the Ni/H nanoplasmonic process and how magnetism is the cause of accelerated nuclear decay rates. This article will explain how magnetism does this in as simple a way as possible.
The acceleration of nuclear decay rates in LENR.
A well recognize feature of LENR is the rapid or sometimes almost instantaneous stabilization of radioactive elements. This is the process by which a nucleus of an unstable atom loses energy by emitting ionizing radiation and/or subatomic particles. To start a simple explanation of what the stabilization of radioactive elements is all about, the nucleus of a radioactive element is excited in a state of energy retention that is not as low as it could possibly be.
Radioactive decay is a random process at the level of single atoms, in that, according to quantum theory, it is impossible to predict when a particular atom will decay. However, the chance that a given atom will decay is amazingly constant over time.[5,6]
Einstein hated the uncertainty of quantum mechanics. He famously dismissed this uncertain universe when he said "God does not play dice with the universe". Unfortunately for Einstein, however, he was proved wrong, when 50 years later experimental evidence finally caught up with theoretical physics, and quantum theory was shown to be correct.
The binding energy that keeps all the parts of the nucleus together and contained inside the nucleus is an uncertain thing. It varies constantly at the whim of chance. The cosmic croupier spins his wheel of chance and the ball falls into one of many quantum numbered pockets. Then, inside the nucleus, a random quantum of energy pops into existence from the fabric of space for a short time, this is called virtual energy. [7] In this way, the energy that keeps the nucleus together goes up and down at the whim of quantum mechanics. This nuclear binding energy is comprised of two parts: a real energy that never changes and a virtual energy that always changes. It is this virtual energy that can vary widely and is not constrained by the laws of energy and momentum.
When constrained inside the nucleus and when this nuclear energy is composed of the sum of these two parts get strong enough, it spills over the top of the coulomb barrier and forms a real particle outside the nucleus. This is called quantum mechanical tunneling. [8] The virtual part of this spillover energy only lasts for the briefest of instants and immediately goes back to the vacuum from whence it came and only the real part remains to congeal into the newly formed particle that has tunneled through the barrier. This process is called radioactive decay (AKA tunneling through the coulomb barrier) and these congealed quanta of energy are called real particles and/or ionizing radiation.
After this nuclear relaxation process has completed, if the energy level inside the nucleus has been lowered enough so that it can never again surmount the coulomb barrier no matter how much virtual energy may appear, the element is said to be stable.
In regards to LENR, we can draw an amazing and informative conclusion from this behavior of accelerated nuclear decay.
The fact that no radioactive isotopes are found in the ash of the cold fusion reaction is unequivocal proof that LENR is caused by the fantastically accelerated rate at which the cosmic croupier of chance spins his wheel in the LENR casino.
I have described in the previous article here upstream on this thread that an anapole beam of magnetic force is projected into the atoms within the nuclear active environment (NAE). So it must be this beam of magnetism that accelerates virtual energy formation.
How magnetism increases radioactive decay is not yet determined, but I have a few ideas on this subject.
Simply stated, magnetism is just another form of charge as a reflecttion of the need to adjust the effects of charge in moving frames of reference. A magnetic field is a relativistic manifestation of charge as seen moving in the relativistic reference frame. [9, 10,11] A large ensemble of moving charge carriers will produce a strong magnetic field that in turn will produce a large flux of virtual photons in the frame of reference in which the charges are moving. A magnetic field will be produced by the movement of electrons in the relativistic frame of reference where the electrons are moving in a circle or more rightly a vortex. This magnetic field which is really a stream of charge carrying virtual photons will reach into a stationary frame of reference and impart into that stationary frame (our frame) a large flux of virtual photons generated in the frame of the relativistic moving charges.
To keep everything in balance the rate of virtual photon production will be the same in both the relativistic frame and the stationary frame to carry the effects of charge transmission and reception between the two frames of reference. LENR is a process where action at a distance is manifest, and that mode of causality is the result of the nature of magnetism where virtual photons project into a distant frame of reference.
To give you a sneak preview of what is to come as an example, the Surface Plasmon polariton (SPP) soliton is the frame in which a large number of charges are moving at relativistic speed. The quark zone inside the proton is where the three quarks orbit. This zone is the stationary frame of reference that is affected by the magnetic field produced by the soliton. The magnetic field will generate a large flux of virtual photons in the stationary frame of the quark zone inside the proton. It is the large infusion of virtual photons that catalyze the production of a virtual quark which is the beginning of the formation of a meson.
A SPP soliton is a magnetic mechanism that concentrates and focuses charge to a huge degree. One of the energy amplification mechanisms found in LENR is energy beaming. Like a gamma ray burst [12] where an intense pulse of energy can be seen from one far corner of the universe clear across to the other side of the cosmos, a soliton can focus charge into a tight atomic sized beam that is not subject to the inverse square law that usually dilutes charge interaction with distance as usually happens in the spherical distribution described by the inverse square law.
All of the virtual photons that carry charge is focused in a tight beam which is very tight indeed; in fact so tight and concentrated that charge is constrained to interact within a very small angstrom sized volume of space/time.[14]
The magnetic field that projects into the nucleus not only accelerates virtual particle creation; it also adds some real energy to those virtual particles.[17]
To a large degree, in LENR the projection of charge through magnetism is so intense, that it literally removes chance from the virtual particle game and makes it a near certainty that a virtual particle with a huge amount of energy will be created inside the nucleus. When the energy level is so high in the nucleus during this LENR moment, the virtual particle will carry away the extra energy that was exciting the radioactive nucleus and then the energy in the nucleus is stabilized at its lowest nuclear energy level. By removing excitation energy, the coulomb barrier is now high enough to always hold this reduced binding energy. Now when the virtual particle gives its energy back to the vacuum from which it came the binding energy contained in the newly relaxed nucleus is completely contained by the confinement power of the coulomb barrier.
Here is an analog from the real world to help explain this principle.
If we take a glass of water filled to the brim on a leisurely car trip over a bumpy road, when you eventually hit some large bumps in the road the water will splash over the brim until water reaches a maximum level where the water does not splash out of the glass anymore. The time that it takes to remove this excess water is random but related to the pattern of the bumps encountered when the car passes over the bumpy road.
Now suppose we press the gas pedal to the floor and the speed of the car increases to breakneck levels hitting those large bumps more often and harder, reaching the no spill level of the glass in short order as the water flies out of the glass at a great rate. When we resume our leisurely pace, no water will ever spill out of the glass again no matter how bumpy the road gets. We hit all the worse bumps in our race and we hit those bumps very hard. The water level in the glass is now forever stable.
This LENR mechanism of accelerated tunneling is central to the way LENR can produce energy through extreme ranges of power output from megawatts to milliwatts.
One of the toughest LENR riddles to answer is as follows: ‘how can the meltdown of a Ni/H reactor be caused by the same process that can produce one watt of output in the Dennis Cravens' golden ball.’[16]
The mechanism that provides this vast range of power generation intensity is tunneling.[14]
It is clear that the application of a magnetic field can increase the rate of radioactive decay in isotopes by many orders of magnitude. A radioactive isotope that might normally take a few hundred years to cut its radioactive rate in half might take a microsecond during a LENR moment.
Meson Production
This same quantum mechanical tunneling mechanism can work inside of protons and neutrons to increase the production of virtual mesons.
To set the stage for this next phase of our description, the three quarks inside a proton live inside a very small volume. This quantum confinement box is the volume that the quarks rattle around in inside the proton. This minuscule volume defines the constraints imposed on the uncertainty of this trio of quarks by limiting the range in their position to a high degree. Through the uncertainty principle, this means that the variable maximum virtual energy that this fixed position produces is very large.
The virtual quark inside the proton is jumping around inside its tunneling confinement box with great vigor.
But the energy level to produce a meson is also very high at 140 MeV. So without some help from the vacuum, a meson is not produced by virtual particle production.
But when a magnetic field is applied to the proton, it adds some kinetic energy to the quark dance and a whole lot of virtual photons. This pushes up the floor of the tunneling confinement box. The degree in which this floor is raised is proportional to the strength of the magnetic field applied to the proton. The magnetic field also increases the rate of virtual particle production proportional to the strength of the magnetic field.
In a very strong magnetic field, a new quark is formed out of the added magnetic and virtual energy and that quark jumps out of the proton. An anti-quark is formed to mate up with the expelled quark since no quark can exist on its own. This pair of new quarks now forms a virtual meson that has tunneled out of the proton. These virtual mesons will jump out of the proton confinement box very often because LENR has raised the floor of the box very high and the associated rate of virtual meson production is then very high. Their energy levels are a lot greater because the virtual energy has been supplemented by magnetic energy. In this way, very many mesons are produced that will eventually decay to muons; [15, 20] and muons catalyzed hydrogen fusion. [18]
The protons derived from ionized hydrogen that floats into the magnetically irradiated NAE will produce muons via tunneling and that muon attracts another proton through coulomb attraction. This proton pair that is formed from muon attraction will fuse together after they are brought very close together by the muon. This is called proton proton (PP) fusion. These pairs of protons are seen in Piantelli’s experiments.
The theory of muon catalyzed fusion (MCF) is similar in concept to the negative ion mechanism that Piantelli proposes. But MCF will result in PP fusion. [19] The end reaction products of PP fusion are primarily light elements like boron and beryllium. These light elements have been seen in the ash assay results from DGT.
PP fusion will also explain why Piantelli sees proton pairs in his reaction cycle combining with nickel to produce copper.
Another pleasing idea is that there is a great energy gain mechanism at play associated with muon catalyzed fusion. An investment of just a few MeV of magnetic energy can produce an average fusion yield of 150 reactions per emitted muon.
From one LENR system to another, these muons are composed of a varied mixture of virtual energy and real energy based on the strength of the magnetic beam that produced them. A muon that contains mostly virtual energy doesn’t last long (4.88x10^^−24 s). In this brief lifetime that muon will only cause a small number of fusions. A muon which contains mostly real magnetic energy lasts a very long time (2.6×10^^−8 s). In this very long lifetime that muon will produce large numbers of fusions.
Particles are all the same. Some last a very long time and some endure but for an instant. Lifespan is relative in the world of particles.
At this juncture, it is not clear how much magnetic energy is required to keep a gainful fusion reaction going. The number of muon catalyzed fusion reactions that occur is proportional to the decay time of the muon. A muon that has a long delay time because of the amount of its high kinetic energy content may catalyze many hundreds of fusion reactions on the average before it decays.
In the case of the Dennis Cravens' golden ball together with the other milliwatt level systems when the magnetic field is very weak, very few mesons tunnel out of the proton confinement box and the muon catalyzed fusion level is very small. But fusion still goes on because that small amount of extra magnetic energy is just enough to produce some small amounts of fusion.
Finally, one of the big challenges of any LENR nuclear reaction theory is conformance with a boatload of particle physics conservation laws. The Meson theory has been under development for just under a century now and particle physics has developed an associated experimentally verified system that conforms strictly to all of these many conservation laws.
This meson theory can be verified by the detection of a large increase in the numbers of muon neutrinos exiting an active Ni/H reactor.

Re: LENR Is Real
Perfect!that small amount of extra magnetic energy is just enough to produce some small amounts of fusion.
Engineering is the art of making what you want from what you can get at a profit.

2 papers with out of context usages,
1 statement of the obvious,
1 Fringe Science collection point with no specifics pointed to,
and of course, 1 from youtube.
And all this adds up to some serious leaps of logic and mistinterpretations sprinkled with contextual relational errors.
Well Done!
You get the Gold Star of the Day for "Technobabble".
