James: Hydrinos can autocatalyze, something Mills calls "disproportionation", where one Hydrino expands while another, with which it is in contact, shrinks. The net result is a further energy release. (Though one has to wonder why this wouldn't lead to an explosion.) Jones: While there are 137 Hydrino levels, only the first 24 of them can form a negative ion, the most likely form in which they would be bound in a lattice IMO. Nevertheless, shrinkage to level 24 releases a total of 24^2 x 13.6 eV = 7834 eV per Hydrino. There is of course also magnetic bonding as you suggest, which would be valid for Hydrinos of any size. It's also possible that Hydrinohydride ions get bound to Li ions, as I suggested previously, creating an entity that is either neutral of negatively charged, depending on the number of bound Hydrinohydride ions, and possibly capable of mediating neutron transfer reactions. (However, again one has to wonder why the neutral version wouldn't exit the reactor just like Hydrino molecules.) (Perhaps they catalyze enough neutron transfer reactions before they leave to make it worth while??) Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html

Re: [Vo]:short rant, short LENR info for July 1, 2015
Like any theory that is evolving toward truth, the Widom Larsen theory has come a long way toward a valid foundation for LENR at least in part. The authors of this theory needed to embrace the beliefs of their principle sponsor, NASA, From the begining NASA, has postulated the Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPP) are the causitive factor in the LENR reaction. References to SPPs are spread throughout their patent. For some unexplaned reason, L&W theory is anathema to Rossi. Rossi is not alone, Ed Storms also hates L&W with a passion. I have been warming towards L&R as those L&R theorists moved their thinking toward SPPs. Just the mention of SPPs, neutrons, and/or L&W theory will get you nowhere on Rossi’s blog. Thiese terms are a sure ticket to the discard bin. SPPs and ultra low energy neutrons are strictly in the exclusive purview of quantum mechanics. In reaction to my posts, I believe that Rossi does not accept QM in any way shape or form, and furthermore, he may not understand any quantum mechanics. Rossi might even be a and QM denier in the same vain as R. Mills. Once we begining thinking in terms of QM, we must leave the real world of the cue ball behind. In the LENR process, a proton is fed into the QM netherworld of superposition and a neutron eventually comes out at the end of it all. How a proton becomes a neutron is not knowable because QM does not allow us to know. There is one thing that we might infer. If no free neutrons are ever detected, the newly minted neutron must be paired with a proton when it was born at the end of the LENR process to keep it from decaying and contained inside the nucleus.

[Vo]:Re: Lalik's bombshell on hydrogen-palladium
Lalik's bombshell on hydrogen-palladiumIt would be interesting to know if the Polish researchers tried to influence the endothermic heat with magnetic fields—either constant or oscillatory. It would be nice to know what the H spin state is during the various phases of heat production. The addition of hydrogen in pulses to their reaction is 180 degrees out of phase with the excess (unexplained) heat pulses observed. It may be that the mixed up spin states of the newly introduced H do not produce the excess heat as well as self-aligned H does. The introduction of H may also may for a loss of coherence temporarily, killing the LENR producing the excess heat. An oscillating magnetic field may also kill the coherence. Wouldn’t that be telling? Axil thinks magnetic fields are inconsistent with LENR per previous correspondence. I do not know if he has changed his mind recently. Also the existence of Cooper pairs of H (not molecular H) would be of interest as to whether they exist within the Pd or Ni lattice. I am not sure how to test for Cooper pairs—maybe x-ray diffraction or neutron scattering examination to look for a dense particle inside the FCC lattice structure. This may be hard to accomplish. (A good target for instrument designers.)

If so, how? It sure seems like it may be a reversible proton reaction, RPR, as you suggest with a small loss of proton mass—it may be spin energy mass that is being transferred to the electronic structure with the protons gradually “evaporating” mass until they jump to a muon or a bunch of leptons—electrons and positrons.
