Re: [Vo]:Neutron Bursts in Lab Lightning

My apologies -- I should have clarified that some of the authors look like researchers that have a history of participation in research related to LENR. I guess that is relevant because it means that the article could just as well have been published in JCMNS (although the article also made it thr

the wiki page on lightning says the temperature of lightning (about 50 000 K) is too low for existing theory to explain the production of x-rays. Harry On Sat, Sep 14, 2013 at 12:07 AM, Jones Beene wrote: > Eric, > > ** ** > > Since a typical lightning strike is a gigavolt in potential …

RE: [Vo]:Neutron Bursts in Lab Lightning

Eric, Since a typical lightning strike is a gigavolt in potential … with 10 to 20 kilo-amps of current what is the reason to invoke LENR to explain neutrons? These input parameters are more energetic than a tokomak. In fact, this abstract indicates that fast neutrons are detected over 10

A current problem in plasma physics is that observed reconnection happens much faster than predicted by MHD in high Lundquist number plasmas: solar flares, for example, proceed 13-14 orders of magnitude faster th

Re: [Vo]:Neutron Bursts in Lab Lightning

It's pretty cool that these authors have gotten a LENR-ish paper into Physical Review Letters in 2013. I suspect this paper should be understood to be in the line of LENR papers, proper, rather than that of an outside group looking at something akin to LENR. At least two of the authors, for examp

Re: [Vo]:Brilloun Energy Interview

Jed, Google apparently did not archive it, but I recall reading a posting by Godes to "Goat Guy" who was a caustic skeptic on an eet blog (I think.) Godes realized that Goat Guy lived nearby and offered to let him inspect his lab and test procedures. Goat Guy did not respond. Now that Brillouin

Re: [Vo]:Brilloun Energy Interview

The other thing that bothers me is their claim that the device converts energy into mass. "A kind of nuclear refrigerator" they say. That would be an endothermic reaction. As far as I know, no one has observed significant endothermic reactions except for chemical reactions in the initial loading of

Keep an open mind, but a closed wallet. Their gas phase system has the potential to conform to Nanoplasmonic principles. However, I do not yet detect a good chance for plasma condensation of the catalyst to nanoparticles. But at least they say that they use a catalyst. The reactor architectur

I'm perplexed that Google wouldn't provide funding after observing some of the experiments. Were they either (a) unconvinced, (b) already allied with others, (c) directed not to engage with Brillouin, (d) reluctant for other reason? If I recall correctly, Godes claims the absence of tritium is du

The reason for this interview is that Brillouin needs some money for development of their gas phase reactor. Brillouin is proposing that their reaction is a variant of the Widom-Larsen theory, where a fast electron combines with a proton to become a neutron (reverse beta decay). The Brillion gas
