Abstract

Nuclear processes in solid environment are investigated. It is shown that
if a slow, quasi-free
heavy particle of positive charge interacts with a ”free” electron of a
metallic host, it can obtain
such a great magnitude of momentum in its intermediate state that the
probability of its nuclear
reaction with an other positively charged, slow, heavy particle can
significantly increase. It is also
shown that if a quasi-free heavy particle of positive charge of
intermediately low energy interacts
with a heavy particle of positive charge of the solid host, it can obtain
much greater momentum
relative to the former case in the intermediate state and consequently, the
probability of a nuclear
reaction with a positively charged, heavy particle can even more increase.
This mechanism opens
the door to a great variety of nuclear processes which up till know are
thought to have negligible
rate at low energies. Low energy nuclear reactions allowed by the Coulomb
assistance of heavy
charged particles is partly overviewed. Nuclear pd and dd reactions are
investigated numerically.
It was found that the leading channel in all the discussed charged particle
assisted dd reactions is
the electron assisted d + d → 4He process.

VI. SUMMARY
It is found that, contrary to the commonly accepted opinion, in a solid
metal surrounding
nuclear reactions can happen between heavy, charged particles of like
(positive) charge of
low initial energy. It is recognized, that one of the participant particles
of a nuclear reaction

of low initial energy may pick up great momentum in a Coulomb scattering
process on a
free, third particle of the surroundings. The virtually acquired great
momentum, that is
determined by the energy of the reaction, can help to overcome the
hindering Coulomb
barrier and can highly increase the rate of the nuclear reaction even in
cases when the rate
would be otherwise negligible. It is found that the electron assisted d + d
→ 4He process
has the leading rate. In the reactions discussed energetic charged
particles are created, that
can become (directly or after Coulomb collisions) the source of heavy
charged particles of
intermediately low (of about a few keV ) energy. These heavy particles can
assist nuclear
reactions too. It is worth mentioning that the shielding of the Coulomb
potential has no
effect on the mechanisms discussed.
Our thoughts were motivated by our former theoretical findings [9]
according to which
the leading channel of the p + d → 3He reaction in solid environment is the
so called solid
state internal conversion process, an adapted version of ordinary internal
conversion process
[10]. In the process formerly discussed [9] if the reaction takes place in
solid material, in
which instead of the emission of a photon, the nuclear energy is taken away
by an electron
of the environment (the metal), the Coulomb interaction induces a p + d →
3He nuclear
transition. The processes discussed here can be considered as an
alternative version of the
solid state internal conversion process since it is thought that one party
of the initial particles
of the nuclear process takes part in Coulomb interaction with a charged
particle of the solid
material (e.g. of a metal).
There may be many fields of physics where the traces of the proposed
mechanism may have
been previously appeared. It is not the aim of this work to give a
systematic overview these
fields. We only mention here two of them that are thought to be partly
related or explained
by the processes proposed. The first is the so called anomalous screening
effect observed in
low energy accelerator physics investigating astrophysical factors of
nuclear reactions of low
atomic numbers [11]. The other one is the family of low energy nuclear
fusion processes.
The physical background, discussed in the Introduction and in the first
part of Section V.,
was questioned by the two decade old announcement [12] on excess heat

nuclear fusion reaction of deuterons at deuterized Pd cathodes during

Emergent Quantum Mechanics
 
One is here reminded of Feynman’s famous discussion of the double slit, and his 
introductory remark: We choose to examine a phenomenon which is impossible, 
absolutely impossible, to explain in any classical way and has in it the heart 
of quantum mechanics. In reality, it contains the only mystery. However, the 
above-mentioned recent classical physics experiments not only disprove 
Feynman’s statement w.r.t. the double slit, but prove that a whole set of 
“quantum” features can be shown to occur in completely classical ones, among 
them being the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, indeterministic behaviour of a 
particle despite a deterministic evolution of its statistical ensemble over 
many runs, nonlocal interaction, tunnelling, and, of course, a combination of 
all these. We are referring to the beautiful series of experiments performed by 
the group of Yves Couder using small liquid drops that can be kept bouncing on 
the surface of a bath of the same fluid for an unlimited time when the 
substrate oscillates vertically. These “bouncers” can become coupled to the 
surface waves they generate and thus become “walkers” moving at constant 
velocity on the liquid surface. A “walker” is defined by a lock-in phenomenon 
so that the drop falls systematically on the forward front of the wave 
generated by its previous bouncings. It is thus a “symbiotic” dynamical 
phenomenon consisting of the moving droplet dressed with the Faraday wave 
packet it emits. Couder and Fort report on single-particle diffraction and 
interference of walkers. They show “how this wavelike behaviour of particle 
trajectories can result from the feedback of a remote sensing of the 
surrounding world by the waves they emit”.
Of course, the “walkers” of Couder’s group, despite showing so many features 
they have in common with quantum systems, cannot be employed one-to-one as a 
model for the latter, with the most obvious difference being that quantum 
systems are not restricted to two-dimensional surfaces. However, along with the 
understanding of how the Schrödinger equation can be derived via nonequilibrium 
thermodynamics, also the mutual relationship of particle and wave behaviour has 
become clearer.

RE: [Vo]: Why not expect fusion in metals to be different?

2013-03-30 Thread Jones Beene
This paper confirms more than ever that D+D fusion is a fundamentally
different phenomenon than proton-only reactions (DGT, Rossi, Mills etc),
which leave no ash and emit no significant gamma radiation. To understand
LENR, we need two completely different theories. Ockham be damned.

There is an excellent model for proton-only reactions which leave no ash -
P+P reversible fusion (RPF) and the model is our Sun. Almost all solar
fusion is P+P RPF. Wiki has an entry, so this is (almost) mainstream physics
so far.

It is also standard physics that reversible fusion is real fusion (not an
elastic collision) and that it involves quantum color changes in the 6
quarks involved and that there is no net gain on our sun.

However, the two protons coming into RPF are NOT the same two coming out,
and there will always be slight mass changes between the two fusing protons
- which tend to be net neutral (no gain) and tend to equalize proton mass to
within a within very tight range.

The only thing missing from the solar model – for us to learn something WRT
nickel-hydrogen reactions on earth, is to understand how one can engineer a
slight bit of asymmetry into the RPF reaction, in order to provide net gain
of energy.

This is why Rossi’s recent announcement was slightly intriguing to me,
despite his theatrical antics and penchant for half-truths. 

In analyzing how one could use RPF for net gain, the best solution which I
could come up with, on paper, is to have two adjoining reactors, one of
which gives anomalous heat and the other anomalous cooling. In order to have
net gain, the twin reactions would require mass to be converted to energy on
the hot side, and the opposite on the cold-side. But one would likely need
to convert a different kind of energy than electric input, to pump up
depleted mass (on the cold-side). 

Thus protons can thus be seen as energy transfer carriers using slight mass
enhancement via magnons. This “pumping up” or cold-side could be via
accelerated nuclear decay energy, for instance. Potassium-40 stands out as
the likely source but it could be another isotope or several.

However, as we know in Rossi’s case – he claims that both devices are
gainful, but one is hotter than the other – which may NOT be the same thing
as RPF … unless the colder side is merely colder than the power input used
to accelerate decay, but still slightly warm - and is not necessarily
gainful. However, there can be net gain in the combined units, since protons
pick up slight mass on the cold side and deposit it on the hot side.

As for now,  I would like to think the theory is more or less correct, and
Rossi is more or less exaggerating on this claims. Time will tell.

2013-03-30 Thread David Roberson
Harry,


This fits nicely into place with my technique for analyzing electromagnetic 
systems.  I start with something that is well understood and easy to measure 
such as a very low frequency electromagnetic wave and mentally increase its 
frequency.  Zero frequency is valid so you can measure the electric field from 
the device as well as the magnetic field.  Since these are both static in this 
case, it is not too difficult to determine how these fields behave.


It is quite apparent that there is no particle like behavior in this case.  So, 
I ask why should there be a difference in basic form as the frequency rises.  
The question arises as to when the other behavior starts and I can not 
determine a reason for a special cut off point to exist.  I use this logic to 
keep increasing the frequency upwards.


The double slit as well as all other similar experiments fall into place very 
well when I consider electromagnetic phenomena  as composed of waves.  The main 
experiment that I recall which causes me trouble is when a single photon of 
light passes through the double slit and can be detected at only one location 
that matches the underlying interference pattern.  A continuous wave should not 
behave in this manner according to my understanding.


To counter the above situation is the measurement of diffraction for atoms, 
electrons, and etc.  These are understood to be point like objects which should 
pass through just one slit.  The fact that these projectiles also generate 
interference patterns suggests that something unusual is occurring that is not 
restricted to waves alone.  Perhaps the discussion that you have posted below 
can help to clarify the true situation.

Emergent Quantum Mechanics
An Approach via Sub-Quantum Thermodynamics
 Considering a theory as emergent if it “contains or reduces to another theory 
in a significant manner or if its laws are tied to those of another theory via 
mathematical connections” [Robert Carroll], we propose that quantum mechanics 
is such a theory.  More precisely, we propose that quantum theory emerges from 
a deeper, more exact theory on a sub-quantum level.  In our approach, one 
assumes that the latter can be described with the aid of nonequilibrium 
thermodynamics.  We ask ourselves how quantum theory would have evolved, had 
the “tool” of modern nonequilibrium thermodynamics  existed, say, a century 
ago. As has recently been shown, one can derive the exact Schrödinger equation 
with  said tool, where the relation between energy and frequency, respectively, 
is used as the only empirical input [Grössing],  with the additional option 
that even the appearance of Planck’s constant may have its origin in classical 
physics.  For an extensive review of our respective papers, and for connections 
to similar work, and, in particular, to Fisher information techniques, see 
[Carroll 2010].
In a recent review for Entropy (2010), to be published shortly, we have 
summarized the results of our works relating to the derivation  from purely 
classical physics of the following quantum mechanical features:  Planck’s 
relation E=hbar.omega for the energy of a particle,  the Schrödinger equation 
for conservative and non-conservative systems,  the Heisenberg uncertainty 
relations,  the quantum mechanical superposition principle,  Born’s rule, and  
the quantum mechanical “decay of a Gaussian wave packet”.
We have, a.o., also proven that free quantum motion exactly equals sub-quantum 
anomalous (i.e., “ballistic”)  diffusion, and, via computer simulations with 
coupled map lattices, we have shown how to calculate averaged  (Bohmian) 
trajectories purely from a real-valued classical model. This was illustrated 
with the cases of the  dispersion of a Gaussian wave packet, both for free 
quantum motion and for motion in a linear  (e.g., gravitational) potential. The 
results are shown to be in excellent agreement with analytical  expressions as 
they are obtained both via our approach, and also via the Bohmian theory.  
However, in the context of the explanation of Gaussian wave packet dispersion, 
quantitative statements on the  trajectories’ characteristic behavior are 
presented, which cannot be formulated in any other existing model  for quantum 
systems.
As is well known, the main features of quantum mechanics, like the Schrödinger 
equation, for example, have only been postulated,

2013-03-30 Thread Axil Axil
The gap between two nanowires (nanoantenna) measuring at or under .5 NM can
concentrate an EMF field by a factor of *10 to the 13 power.*

This ability to concentrate EMF quantified in experiments exceeds quantum
mechanical predictions by a factor of 3. This can result in an EMF
singularity limited only by electron tunneling over the gap.

The size of the gap is proportional to the energy of the free electrons on
the surface of the nanowires. Higher energy electrons can support a smaller
gap, which means higher EMF confinement.
On another related point as follows:

 Abstract

 Nuclear processes in solid environment are investigated. It
 is shown that if a slow, quasi-free
 heavy particle of positive charge interacts with a ”free”
 electron of a metallic host, it can obtain
 such a great magnitude of momentum in its intermediate
 state
 that the probability of its nuclear
 reaction with another positively charged, slow, heavy
 particle can significantly increase. It is also
 shown that if a quasi-free heavy particle of positive
 charge
 of intermediately low energy interacts
 with a heavy particle of positive charge of the solid host,
 it can obtain much greater momentum
 relative to the former case in the intermediate state and
 consequently, the probability of a nuclear
 reaction with a positively charged, heavy particle can even
 more increase. This mechanism opens
 the door to a great variety of nuclear processes which up
 till know are thought to have negligible
 rate at low energies. Low energy nuclear reactions allowed
 by the Coulomb assistance of heavy
 charged particles is partly overviewed. Nuclear pd and dd
 reactions are investigated numerically.
 It was found that the leading channel in all the discussed
 charged particle assisted dd reactions is
 the electron assisted d + d → 4He process.

Perhaps you did not realize that in digital photography, the megapixel counting

strong force dominates?  It is not too difficult to  imagine that the two 
protons are bound together by the strong force for a short period of time as 
the new nucleus seeks a way to emit the excitation energy that it contains.


We know of the beta plus decay leading to deuterium production, but this is 
rare.   It is not clear why the excited pair of protons is not capable of 
emitting a gamma to lower their energy state, but if this happens the next item

Subject: RE: [Vo]: Why not expect fusion in metals to be different?


This paper confirms more than ever that D+D fusion is a fundamentally
different phenomenon than proton-only reactions (DGT, Rossi, Mills etc),
which leave no ash and emit no significant gamma radiation. To understand
LENR, we need two completely different theories. Ockham be damned.

There is an excellent model for proton-only reactions which leave no ash -
P+P reversible fusion (RPF) and the model is our Sun. Almost all solar
fusion is P+P RPF. Wiki has an entry, so this is (almost) mainstream physics
so far.

It is also standard physics that reversible fusion is real fusion (not an
elastic collision) and that it involves quantum color changes in the 6
quarks involved and that there is no net gain on our sun.

However, the two protons coming into RPF are NOT the same two coming out,
and there will always be slight mass changes between the two fusing protons
- which tend to be net neutral (no gain) and tend to equalize proton mass to
within a within very tight range.

The only thing missing from the solar model – for us to learn something WRT
nickel-hydrogen reactions on earth, is to understand how one can engineer a
slight bit of asymmetry into the RPF reaction, in order to provide net gain
of energy.

This is why Rossi’s recent announcement was slightly intriguing to me,
despite his theatrical antics and penchant for half-truths. 

In analyzing how one could use RPF for net gain, the best solution which I
could come up with, on paper, is to have two adjoining reactors, one of
which gives anomalous heat and the other anomalous cooling. In order to have
net gain, the twin reactions would require mass to be converted to energy on
the hot side, and the opposite on the cold-side. But one would likely need
to convert a different kind of energy than electric input, to pump up
depleted mass (on the cold-side). 

Thus protons can thus be seen as energy transfer carriers using slight mass
enhancement via magnons. This “pumping up” or cold-side could be via
accelerated nuclear decay energy, for instance. Potassium-40 stands out as
the likely source but it could be another isotope or several.

However, as we know in Rossi’s case – he claims that both devices are
gainful, but one is hotter than the other – which may NOT be the same thing
as RPF … unless the colder side is merely colder than the power input used
to accelerate decay, but still slightly warm - and is not necessarily
gainful. However, there can be net gain in the combined units, since protons
pick up slight mass on the cold side and deposit it on the hot side.

As for now,  I would like to think the theory is more or less correct, and
Rossi is more or less exaggerating on this claims. Time will tell.

2013-03-30 Thread Jones Beene

From: David Roberson 

Jones, do you assume that the RPF is not an elastic
collision because the strong force dominates?

Yes. The strong force is well-named… by far the strongest force in nature.

It is not too difficult to  imagine that the two protons are
bound together by the strong force for a short period of time as the new
nucleus seeks a way to emit the excitation energy that it contains. 

This energy transfer between two protons is not always “emitted” per se –
but it can be coupled to other particles as spin waves. The quanta are
related to bosons from the quark mass and governed by QCD. These are a
Goldstone bosons (pseudo or Nambu Goldstone bosons) which  correspond to the
spontaneously broken internal symmetry generators, following a strong force
reaction; and are characterized by the quantum numbers of these bosons. The
magnon is the prime example of the emitted energy – but it is a “spin wave”
pseudo particle, and not a photon.

We know of the beta plus decay leading to deuterium
production, but this is rare.   

Extraordinarily rare. In LENR, the experimenter would not see a single
deuteron in a thousand years.

It is not clear why the excited pair of protons is not
capable of emitting a gamma to lower their energy state, 

QCD color charge is not high energy. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_charge

but if this happens the next item on the agenda would be to
emit a positron and neutrino as this unstable nucleus changes to D which
always would occur given time.

There is simply not enough energy to play with to even suggest substantial
deuterium. Essentially, D never happens (unless that is one of your
hypothetical LENR “miracles”).

The excess (or deficit) energy per proton over the average mass is a
fraction of the maximum of 70 parts per million (of the total mass-energy of
the proton) and only the Boltzmann tail of that distribution is “useable”
maybe 4-5%. It can show up as anomalous gain or as anomalous loss (internal
heat sink). As gain, it can materialize as “thermal energy” due to magnetic
induction (in ferromagnetic metals like nickel) since the magnon spin wave
is the prime example of bosonic mass/energy transfer. As loss it can
materialize as a magneto-caloric effect.

There has been steady progress in the world of Low Energy Nuclear Reactions
(LENR), better known as Cold Fusion, in the last few months. The main
commercial players have been quiet  but the open-source Martin Fleishmann
Memorial Project http://www.quantumheat.org/index.php/home (MFMP) has
made some big steps towards its goal of proving the reality of LENR to a
skeptical world.

Bob 
Greenyerhttp://www.quantumheat.org/index.php/facilitators/32-bob-greenyeris
one of the driving forces behind the MFMP. He's a successful
entrepreneur, having run a diverse portfolio of businesses in the fields of
pharmaceuticals, finance, advertising and education. But now he's in a
business that costing him money rather than making it, and he loves it.
Like the other MFMP team members, he has put in a lot of his own time and
money because he believes in the cause.

 MFMP has no interest in intellectual property, says Greenyer. It wants to
share it with the world.

One of the MFMP's first aims is a cheap, simple apparatus that can be
easily replicated and which shows that new fire (as MFMP terms the
reaction) produces energy. It aims to do this as transparently as possible,
in an exercise in crowd-sourced engineering. Greenyer calls it science by
the people for the people. He has seen the disruptive effects of big egos
elsewhere in LENR research and wants to avoid the destructive patterns of
rivalry and secrecy which can result.

We will work with anyone, whether they are a barrow boy or a nuclear
physicist, says Greenyer.

In contrast to normal practice where everything is behind closed doors
until a paper is published, with the MFMP it's right out in the open.
Experimental protocols and detailed results are published day by day on the
Replicate section of its website http://www.quantumheat.org/. The only
thing that does remain secret is the identity of some of their
collaborators, as any association with cold fusion could damage the
reputation of most scientists.

Greenyer says this open approach has been very successful because it has
identified possible flaws in the experimental procedure and allows his team
to identify potential criticisms of its setup. This means it should be able
to come up with a foolproof demonstration by the end of the process.

The MFMP's experiments are based on the work of Italian physicist Francesco
Celani, who has made the details of his research available to the group.
Celani has given several successful demonstrations over the past year, and
his work has beenreplicated by third
partieshttp://www.e-catworld.com/2012/12/celani-announces-3rd-party-replication/.


The apparatus consists of a nanostructured nickel wire weighing 275 mg
loaded with hydrogen. The wire produces roughly four watts extra of
excess heat in addition to the fifteen watts supplied. This continues for
many hours, showing that far more energy is produced than could be
accounted for by a chemical reaction. The challenge is of course in the
detail of the setup and ensuring that there is no possible source of error.

Four watts from a small length of wire represents a high energy density,
 But why not crank it up and produce more power to make it that much more
obvious? Greenyer says that this would be possible, but the team needs to
understand more before it can be done safely. There have been explosions
and injuries in LENR labs before now, and a well-designed experiment should
be able to provide proof of new fire at the power levels they have.

Greenyer notes that the MFMP is well behind where some of the competitors
claim to be. But he believes that the advantage of its setup is that it
cannot simply be bought out by hostile interests. In addition, its progress
may force other researchers into the open if they want to be seen to be
ahead.

It doesn't matter if we prove it, or if we force others to, says
Greenyer. What's important is that this gets recognition.

The next few weeks will see some improved experimental approaches that will
provide better figures and eradicate possible sources of error. An
elaborate protocol will see live and inert wires tested side by side, with
the same tests being carried out inmultiple
laboratorieshttp://www.quantumheat.org/index.php/follow/follow-2/206-tgoc.


The live and inert wires are the same except for the nanostructure in which
the reaction occurs. While this may not be the final configuration, if the
results continue as they have done it's getting pretty close to a setup
that produces measurable amounts of excess heat reliably and repeatably --
what cold fusion researchers have been trying to achieve for 20 years.

The next stage for MFMP is to raise funds to demonstrate the technology to
the world, using Kickstarter. Greenyer says that one experiment would cost
around £50k, if it raises £150k it can set up three independent
replications in different countries, £350k would be enough for ten

Papp's patents are obviously invalid as no one skilled in the art has been
able to take his patent disclosures and realize beneficial use from them.

 To continue. People have joined with me to get this done and hopefully
 make a profit for their effort. I am a believer in greed, I am a believer
 in incentive, I am a believer in the American system of free enterprise. I
 do not believe in open sourcing. It results only in a free ticket for the
 rich to control and provides no incentive to bring a product to market.
 Anything I say to you tonight could be on someone else's provisional patent
 tomorrow. I appreciate your comments.
 Does anyone know patent law?

 I thought that Papp had all this stuff covered in his patents. How can Bob
 Rohner claim intellectual property on this technology when so many others
 have covered the same subject with patents that have expired?

 The feedback current motor stopped spinning near the end of the video.
 This is concerning because something is stopping the feedback current
 generation.

 In a two cylinder Papp engine, the feedback current should be constant to
 power the other cylinder.

 Rohner Group Demonstrates the Missing Heat Transfer
 Bob Rohner demonstrates that the Papp reaction is endothermic
 (heatless). This is due to noble gas cluster explosion reaction that
 produces the pressure of gas expansion.

Re: [Vo]:Electricity from solar and wind in Germany

2013-03-30 Thread Jouni Valkonen
Thanks for sharing this, German electricity production is very interesting 
topic, because it is sort of a sneak peak into the near future of energy. 
Having such a detailed graphs around is very nice. 

See especially page 16 graph. it is very interesting to see how well wind and 
solar are actually complementing each other.
