Re: [Vo]:In defense of cracks...
Axil, I like that you focus on the geometry formed by the nanowires instead of the more popular cracks perspective taken in the case of skeletal catalysts.. but another property more often associated with Casimir papers is rigidity and I think this plays an important part in mechanical energy accumulation and transfer as these nanowires resonate back and forth between stiction force and the rigid metal - you have already mentioned a handful of possibilities to power this resonant circuit.. from spark induced plasmon linkage to your recent dual laser driven Rydberg blocade of hydrogen plasma. My pet theory is that these nanowires create a dynamic casimir geometry that constantly drives the inverted Rydberg hydrogen between different energy states.

Not for the first time, with amazing generosity, DGT has provided us with a picture of a 5 micron nanowire coated micro-particle in their ICCF-18 presentation that they have originally engineered base on suggested information derived from Rossi's revelations. There must be a million nanowires coming off that fuzzy looking micro-particle. If 10 nanoparticle aggregation form on each nanowire tip and 100 hot spots from inside each aggregation, that drive the NAE count for each micro-particle up to 10 to the power of 9 hot spots per micro-particle. If 10,000,000 micro particles as used in the 3 grams of nickel power reaction activator, then the NAE count goes up to 10 to the 16 power of possible NAE sites in a Ni/H reactor. Clearly, this micro-powder covered with nanowires approach to the reaction has many orders of magnitude numerical superiority over the crack regime.

I have the right to think independently. Citing you: you are assuming that D+Pd involves a different mechanism, a different NAE, and different nuclear products. Clearly the products of reaction are different for Pd and Ni H simply because the reactants are different. I have NOT told that the mechanism of reaction are different. A question for you- a crack however beautiful is inherently very asymmetric do you think a crack nanometers broad but microns or even millimeters long is equally active along its entire lengths? Isn't it more plausible that inside this labyrinthic formation there are some even more preferential short areas where the activity is focused? And are you convinced that thse short areas are so different from a nanostructure? Couldn't be the things a bit more complicated but actually more unitary- as you otherwise also suggest? I think it is not possible to decide now sitting at our PC's if Nature uses only one soltion or more for creating excess energy. It is more useful to find new ways to force Nature to give us what we need and want and not care so much if she is whining a bit for that.

Re: [Vo]:Best Peer-reviewed article for those who ask for it
You should know that efforts to provide a review article using more up to date information have failed when submitted to major journals. The mainstream journals still do not accept review papers about LENR. Increasingly, rejection is based on ignorance, not on logic or scientific evaluation. The effect of denying information is paying off for the people who do not want this technology developed. Fortunately, they are fighting a loosing battle that will eventually cause them harm as the better informed develop and benefit from the technology.

The Air Force announced Friday that Maj. Gen.

I bought my new mini this spring. I checked the oil it was pink. I asked the sales woman Beth; Why is the oil pink? She did not know but got the chief mechanic. He looked at said, They probably color the original factory oil pink. That way they can tell if you changed it! I showed my brother and law Frank; He did not know. I showed my friend Bob. He said Transmission fluid could be leaking into the oil. I asked Charlie over the phone, Never saw pink oil. It was time to change the oil. I asked the lubrication expert at Jiffey Lub to look at it. He said I don't know, our oil is brown. I never saw pink oil before. I had the oil changed and checked it today. It was still pink. I went back to jiffy lub and asked again. He sent some young stupid kid to check it. The kid said as he wiped off the dip stick, The oil is not pink, the bottom of the dip stick is pink. Daah.

It's not justification or rationalization... I wish that these people were that practical... rather these people have identified themselves by their beliefs. Anything that is a threat to these little ideas that they have is a threat to them and their power. The problem that they don't realize is that they shouldn't identify themselves by what they believe (and destroy in the name of those beliefs) but rather by what they create.

[Vo]:US Nuclear Weapons Lab Discovers How To Suppress the Casimir Force
http://science.slashdot.org/story/13/10/11/1733224/us-nuclear-weapons-lab-discovers-how-to-suppress-the-casimir-force One of the frustrating problems with microelectromechanical (MEM) devices is that the machinery can sometimes stick fast, causing them to stop working. One of the culprits is the Casimir effecthttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casimir_effect — an exotic force that pushes metallic sheets together when they are separated by tiny distances. Now physicists at the Los Alamos National Laboratory http://arxiv.org/abs/1202.6356 in New Mexico have worked out and demonstrated how to suppress the Casimir force. The trick is to create a set of deep grooves and ridges in the surface of one sheet so that the other only comes close to the tips of the ridges. These tips have a much smaller surface area than the flat sheet and so generate much less forcehttps://medium.com/the-physics-arxiv-blog/8dc2ed4cfd08. That could help prevent stiction in future MEMs devices. But why would a nuclear weapons lab be interested? MEM devices are invulnerable to electromagnetic pulse weapons that fry transistor-based switches, and so could be used as on-off switches for nuclear devices.
