With Cooper Pairs and with paired electrons, the attraction (magnetic dipoles) seem to overcome the electrostatic repulsion. That must be the "or not" option Robin has suggested.

Upon reconsidering this, it occurs to me that each individual atom will be electrically neutral, so stacking them probably wont add much if anything to the electrostatic repulsion. The magnetic fields OTOH will add because the magnetic field of the electron will be much different to that of the proton/deuteron.

RE: [Vo]:Re: North Korea... and the UDD "candle"?
It is probably a good idea to get away from the terminology of snowflakes and/or Rydberg matter, due to the lack of specificity in meaning. In the older paper with Miley and Hora, Holmlid called the UDD species: “Inverted Rydberg hydrogen” or IRH indicating that there is no expansive electron spacing, as expected in normal Rydberg matter. Thus, this species is technically NOT Rydberg matter unless modified to express the inverted state. To complicate things, Holmlid decided to drop the IRH terminology in favor of UDD, although Miley apparently still uses it. L. Holmlid, H. Hora, G. Miley and X. Yang, "Ultrahigh-density deuterium of Rydberg matter clusters for inertial confinement fusion targets". Laser and Particle Beams 27 (2009) 529–532. The clearest paper on this subject of like-charge attraction with dislocated electrons which are close by - could be that of Nabil Lawandy: “Interactions of charged particles on surfaces”… yet has different predictions http://scitation.aip.org/content/aip/journal/apl/95/23/10.1063/1.3270537 “Charges of the same polarity bound to a surface with a large dielectric contrast exhibit an attractive long-range Coulomb interaction, which leads to a two-particle bound state. Ensembles of like charges experience a collective long-range interaction, which results in compacted structures with interparticle separations that can be orders of magnitude smaller than the equilibrium separation of the pair potential minimum. Simulations indicate that ensembles of surface bound nuclei, such as D or T, exhibit separations small enough to result in significant rates of fusion.”
Re: [Vo]:North Korea... and the UDD "candle"?
It is currently assumed that hot fusion occurs inside the sun and stars. but could cold fusion power the nuclear reactions at the center on the sun? Could liquid hydrogen be so impervious to change that it defeats the hot fusion process? If LeClair's water crystal can produce supernova level nuclear reactions: the transmutation of transuranic elements without being affected in any way, how could this type of hydrogen produce hot fusion? LeClair says that the water crystal can handle pressure in cavitation beyond 10,000,000 bar without being destroyed.

[Vo]:Re: North Korea... and the UDD "candle"?
Assuming that whatever the reaction is that produces a lot of energy from potential energy, that energy must be distributed as heat without destroying the structure allowing the coupling—potential energy to heat. In this regard I would consider that there is a condensate or other coherent system which allows includes this coupling. The magnetic field that Higgins suggests may be such a coupling mechanism, allowing the electronic structure of the snowflakes to accept the potential energy changes—maybe nuclear mass reductions—without the damaging, high—kinetic---energy individual particles and the radiation associated with these particles. For what its worth, any idea that is not correct is “total crap” which there must be a good deal of given the variety of ideas.

RE: [Vo]:North Korea... and the UDD "candle"?
Bob, Winterberg’s understanding differs from Holmlid’s and Holmlid’s older papers have been modified considerably in the newer ones. Many details are in a state of flux. The snowflakes could be far smaller. The overarching argument is that Mills, Holmlid, Winterberg, Miley, Hora and all the others who have explored the theme of condensed hydrogen clusters, could be partly right and partly wrong. I do not have a problem with a mashup of all of them. From: Bob Higgins Ø My understanding was that the hexagonal iron oxide catalyst was responsible for making the planar hexagonal Rydberg "snowflakes". These "snowflakes" form a dusty plasma in his system and spontaneously align to form stacks of "snowflakes" having the 2.3 pm separation [Winterberg]. I don't think the iron oxide is responsible for anything but forming the pre-cursor hexagonal Rydberg "snowflakes" that then forms the dusty plasma. From: Bob Higgins Ø I am not convinced at all that Holmlid's strings of "UDD" exist. The existence of the low density hexagonal Rydberg "snowflakes" of hydrogen is a fairly well established fact. I cannot see how any of this is a path to large scale fusion even if it exists. As I understand Holmlid’s argument - iron oxide is the matrix which makes it all happen. Iron oxide is naturally structured as nanoporous, with holes of one nanometer diameter which are located in the center of hexagons of iron-oxide, and which align as deep narrow wells. Presumably, the strings of UDD would be positioned inside these deep holes like drilling strings, providing an extended lifetime but requiring that the matrix must also be included as part of the fuel. Although it would appear at first glance that this structure is mostly iron oxide, the spacing of the stacked layers in the strings is so close (2.3 pm), that there would be many more actual atoms of UDD compared to the matrix. Until there is independent replication, I agree with Bob that this is not convincing on its own. Yet, it should be relatively easy to show some previous anomaly in hydrogen loaded iron-oxide due to the industrial importance. In fact, using hydrogen to reduce hematite was once considered as a way to make pure steel from iron ore with no coal. Sooner or later I will get around to digging up old papers looking for reported thermal anomalies.
Re: [Vo]:North Korea... and the UDD "candle"?
There is no way that the UDD as described by Holmlid/Winterberg could enter ANY metal lattice. The Ni lattice does not admit even neutral monatomic hydrogen and the Rydberg snowflake stacks that form UDD are much bigger than an H2 molecule.

>From my understanding of Holmlid's work, the UDD description (Ultra-Dense Deuterium) would not be an appropriate description even if what he proposes to happen really does happen. Please explain this to me if I have gotten it wrong. What Holmlid proposes is that planar hexagonal Rydberg clusters of deuterium can form stacks where the inter-nucleus spacing in the stack can be 2.3 pm. The hexagonal Rydberg clusters are essentially planar with an inter-nucleus spacing that is bigger than D2 gas. So, in one dimension, along the column of the stack, Holmlid claims that the inter-nucleus spacing is 2.3 pm, while in the other 2 dimensions the inter-nucleus spacing is 100x bigger. From a density standpoint, this would be a set of linear strings. How do you ascribe density to something that is a linear string? It would certainly be a tensor. If you go on to propose that fusion is possible on a large scale from a collection of a large amount of this matter, how do you compress strings of matter to begin fusion? It would be like compressing a rope by pushing on its ends. I am not convinced at all that Holmlid's strings of "UDD" exist. The existence of the low density hexagonal Rydberg "snowflakes" of hydrogen is a fairly well established fact. I cannot see how any of this is a path to large scale fusion even if it exists.

RE: [Vo]:North Korea... and the UDD "candle"?
Jones, I’ve been stuck in a mode considering anomalous forms of hydrogen as free flowing molecules exposed to surrounding tapestry of metal lattice, but your suggestion of “metalized hydrogen” makes me consider a solid solution. could metallic hydrogen self catalyze such that it doesn’t need the intense pressure other than an “immediate” tapestry surrounding it, ie self catalyzing in Millsian fashion within a parent lattice from which it builds inward ? I still subscribe to the Naudts relativistic proposal but applied now to this solid concept where perhaps the parent lattice maintains the solid foundation and then successive layers of proportionally shrunken metal hydrogen lattice grow /push inward away from the parent lattice “down a well” where each successive layer is exposed to fewer and fewer virtual particles in a negative Lorenztian like manner without the need for near C displacement. My proposal being that metalized hydrogen can load much further down into the interstial space of the parent lattice and grow instead extra dimensionally outward. Reactions at the extreme excursions of these extradimensional wells would achieve large values of spatial displacement and temporal dilation but being a solid would provide mechanical linkage back to our frame. Could relativistic displacement and mechanical linkage together explain some of the strange anomalies with LENR like spectrum shifts, lack of Gamma radiation, modified half lives and even a recent thread about radiation not measured near the reactor wall but measured further away?

We know that metallic hydrogen, as previously described in the literature, is not stable unless kept under extreme pressure. The assumption has been that whatever species corresponds to UDD is not this kind of metallic hydrogen (the previously described variety) … although it could be metallic. Thus the confusion. There could, in fact, be several varieties of condensed hydrogen which are possible, including whatever Mills’ theory suggests. Holmlid’s UDD is far denser than the metallic hydrogen which is made in a diamond anvil press. That would mean that shock compression is fundamentally more efficient than mechanical compression. One detail which would make my day, and yours too - would be an emission line coming from the decay of the Holmlid version of UDD which matches the 3.5 keV emission line which is turning up everywhere these days in cosmology. This would mean that UDD is probably the same species as “dark matter” and it would provide greatly needed secondary validity to Holmlid’s claims.

From: Teslaalset * There may still be the issue of sufficient lifetime of UDD to be resolved though. Yes, it could be short. Has anyone seen recent data on average lifetime from Holmlid? We know that metallic hydrogen, as previously described in the literature, is not stable unless kept under extreme pressure. The assumption has been that whatever species corresponds to UDD is not this kind of metallic hydrogen (the previously described variety) … although it could be metallic. Thus the confusion. There could, in fact, be several varieties of condensed hydrogen which are possible, including whatever Mills’ theory suggests. Holmlid’s UDD is far denser than the metallic hydrogen which is made in a diamond anvil press. That would mean that shock compression is fundamentally more efficient than mechanical compression.

There may still be the issue of sufficient lifetime of UDD to be resolved though.
