Re: [Vo]:Indian Summer
The term "Indian Summer" may come from the American Indians apparent indifference to cold weather. In historical novels, one can find reference to this, where the Indians would wonder why the white men would bundle up, just because there was snow on the ground. In graduate school, I had a girlfriend whose family had just moved back from a 2 year tour in Thule (north-west Greenland, ... a tundra <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tundra> climate <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_climate> (ET <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6ppen_climate_classification>) with long, severely cold winters lasting most of the year and short and cool summers.). She would walk across Campus (in Tennessee) during a snow-storm in just a short-sleeve summer dress. We are more adaptable than we think!

Re: [Vo]:Repeatable COP of ~1.5 seems to be reported by many
At low external temperatures, many heat pump systems switch over to ohmic heating. Do they turn off the heat pump or do they heat the input to the pump? Either way, using a CF source (w COP of 1.5) *and* its output could be useful, if it were both cheap and reliable enough.

Re: [Vo]:EVOs, Hutchison, and ancient megalithic tech
When the vertical component of the centrifugal force of the rotating eccentric load exceeds the weight of the brick, the brick will move off the ground. Non-vertical components will drive the brick horizontally every time the net force exceeds the weight of the brick. Two small synchronous motors, if properly aligned and fixed to a 1 ton rigid load, could allow it to be moved by another small motor. No wheels are required!

Foster, You have raised an interesting possibility. I have been out of the loop for 25 years, so my info may be dated. However, the cerium was included in the melt, with the quantity a djusted for the optimum UV absorption for the coverslide thickness. Use of a doped layer rather than the bulk could possibly provide some improved optical matching in the "STACK". It would have to be tested for stability during the thermal cycles. If the surface doping (by dipping or by ion implantation) is a reliable process, this might be worth mentioning it to the appropriate people (who I no longer know).

Re: [Vo]:It's Time We Talked About the Box-Orbs..
Sean, You asked "Is it meaningful to speak of "resonance" when something is rotating in only one direction?" Consider a car engine. Ignoring any internal resonances, it has a max-power point at some frequency. If you add a muffler, you have modified the external environment to the engine (most strongly at a given frequency). The engine+ muffler now has a resonant frequency that may differ from that of the muffler alone (e.g. with a different source). The muffler+engine resonance can be "tuned" to alter the max-power point (increase power at a given frequency or spread the max-power point to a larger frequency range). To address the issue of resonance of bodies at the sub-micron scale: Both classical and quantum physicists get fixed within their own framework. "To a hammer, everything looks like a nail." To consider an electron to be a rotating rigid body creates problems with experimental evidence. Relativity changes the shape of the electron *E*-field and thus creates a magnetic field. The electron, being an EM creature, thus changes its shape and properties with velocity. *Spin is one of those properties.* It does not change in magnitude (except under extreme conditions - e.g., annihilation or combination); but, it does change direction. When an electron is accelerated, its spin axis nutates ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutation) and precesses about the velocity vector. When at high velocities (but w/o acceleration), its nutation will be "pure" (nodding, but with no precession). This precession and nutation exists at all v > 0. The nutation can be considered to be the basis of the deBroglie wavelength, where the wavelength is determined by the distance traveled in a single nutation cycle (my own definition). For a bound electron, which is accelerating all of the time, precession of the spin axis about the axis of rotation is a given. For a closed path in a conservative potential, an electron's total energy is conserved and is constant at the resonance point(s) of the orbit and precession. Thus, relativity, which also causes the magnetic field of a moving charge at v>0, is the "exterior" environment that produces the resonance for a stable orbit. The resonance is between the orbital frequency and the frequency of precession (causing the deBroglie wavelength). This resonance establishes the constant-total-energy orbits of atomic electrons. Understanding this and the resonances leading to photons and leptons provides a basis for gravitation and the possibility of null-gravity (as in photons), even if anti-gravity cannot be attained.

Sean, You ask " Do you think we could make a macroscopic electron? I mean, one that's a couple feet across?" You have asked the right question. Sarfatti, at the end of his "update" ( https://www.academia.edu/s/18395c2bc3?source=ai_email ), includes his equations for a macroscopic wormhole. He attributes the UFO properties to this phenomenon. The immediate formation of an electron/positron pair creates a wormhole (perhaps the smallest possible?). A macroscopic simulation of this wormhole is seen in the Falaco soliton (http://www22.pair.com/csdc/car/carfre3.htm). This structure is simple to create and study. It is very instructive and teaches much about angular momentum. Some studies of wormholes indicate extreme energies required for their macroscopic formation. However, the ease of forming the Falaco soliton in water may indicate otherwise, if the correct "tool" is found for properly "moving" space.

Re: [Vo]:It's Time We Talked About the Box-Orbs..
Dear Sean, I like your derivation. It appears to be another indication of the resonance giving stability to the electron at a specific "size". A similar exercise gives its angular momentum to be 1/2 that of the photon simultaneously forming it and the positron. I think of a sphere of the classical radius (~2.8 fm) as enclosing some large percentage of the electron mass (its electromagnetic energy) and that of the 386 fm radius (the reduced deBroglie wavelength and the wavelength of the 511 keV photon forming it) as being the range of the potential where it is reduced to some small value of the electron's maximum electrostatic potential.

Re: [Vo]:Reversing global warming and removing carbon from the atmosphere with cold fusion
Dear Jed, Among the advantages of my system is the ability to provide a low-cost (yet ecologically sound and man-rated) mass-transfer system as a low-earth-orbit "waystation" that can then provide massive boosts to interplanetary transportation (e.g. to L1). The ability to transfer people from earth to space (and back), as well as to support a "tunable" sunshade, would make it a permanent fixture. In addition to reducing global warming (and preventing methane release), the shade rings would greatly reduce the global energy needs (details in the papers). Nevertheless, I agree with you that man's continuing thirst for energy must be ultimately satisfied by technological advances (e.g. CF). On the other hand, with uncontrolled population growth, even CF-derived electrical-energy production will have excessive waste-heat production. It might ultimately be necessary to move (even CF) electrical-energy production off-earth. But, perhaps by that time, population control and moving people and much industry off-planet will have solved that problem.

Jurg, You state "In SOP we show that the electron is a resonance of the proton."

Photons are also composed of directional fields. When appropriately bound and twisted, the photon field can be uniquely inwardly and outwardly directed. The inward-directed field is concentrated and becomes your "dense EM mass." An outward-directed field has reduced field density outside the bound photon and is a "stable" field, but would still correspond to your "EM mass from radiation fields". The lepton charge is determined by whether the *E*-field is directed in or out. Charge conservation and the means of forming it depends on equal splitting of the photon fields into lepton pairs with net zero charge. This is close to my model of the photon/lepton picture: (PDF) A new linear theory of light and matter - ResearchGate <https://www.researchgate.net/publication/333976356_A_new_linear_theory_of_light_and_matter> Note that the two leptons are both a torus. > The inclusion of the relativistic mass simply is an error made by a >> mathematician with no clue of physics. >> >> The Einstein equation (E=mc^2) has been guessed from the Poincaré >> equation dm= E/c2.

Do you consider standing waves to be radiation or static fields? Are bound fields necessarily "static"? I consider photons to be self-bound fields (solitons) that are propagating at the speed of light. However, as such, they are emitted radiation, not radiating fields. (I have trouble simply expressing the difference between emission and radiation of field energy.) > The other problem with deep orbits is the missing force equation that > should define the limit of such an orbit. > The Dirac equation does not address the nucleus beyond a point charge. We have been exploring the effects of the different potentials from, and interactions with, the nucleus. These are important; but, so far, we have not found anything to change more than the energies of the deep orbit. I, at least, am finding some insight and, I hope, some physical understanding of the situation. > Further a bound electron is neutral and behaves as EM mass = waves. So > beyond the Bohr radius you cannot use the Coulomb formula as an orbit > equivalent. > I assume that you mean the atom (including the bound electron) is neutral. If you mean that the bound electron (in its interaction with the nuclear Coulomb field) is uncharged EM field only, then this would be one of our incompatible assumptions.

Jurg, I would be interested in what physical laws you think are violated by the deep-orbit electrons. Without the Dirac equation's "anomalous orbit" results, I don't think that we would have looked for the relativistic effects that make the deep orbits (and nuclear forces?) possible.

Re: [Vo]:Electron Transition Atomic Mass Change Quantified
Terry, Thank you for the link. It is obvious that, if an excited atom emits a photon, it will become lighter. The ground state is lighter than an excited state. This new technique might somehow be able to distinguish the mass-loss to the nucleus alone rather than to the atom (ion) as a whole. Such an ability could provide strong evidence for cold fusion mechanisms via deep-orbit electrons.

Re: [Vo]:Aetheric Science - Invitation to take part
I was deliberately vague because that might have been your intention also. If not, then: 1. does it matter what kind of screen the image is created on? - vacuum tube gives an electrostatic charge that can be felt - laser print does too? - laptop screens may or may not produce charge effects; however, - image is predominantly white background and hands have heat sensors that are much more sensitive to changes in environment than to absolute values. - would inverted image (black background) produce similar effect, if one is observed. - etc. 2. hand motion: - how fast/slow? - prior testing of sensitivity: - like the eyes adapt to the light levels available, so does the various sensors in the hands. - with a little practice, one can "feel" the wind, or the change in air pressure on the fingertips as one moves the hand. - this could provide a positive for your test even if no image were present. - does hand occlude image or not? - does brisk rubbing of hands prior to test alter observed effects? - I have observed this to increase probability of another person sensing the direction of motion of your fingers above their palm (even with their eyes closed). - does hand dominance (right or left) affect result? 3. eye motion - are you supposed to look at the image or the hand during the test? - does closing your eyes alter the effect if one is observed? 4 etc. If the effect you are seeking is so robust that 50% of subjects respond (independent of test conditions/instructions), then details may not be important. While my initial trial did not sense anything, I am sure that I could "tune" my system to respond to the motion even without the image or the screen (and even with the eyes closed). Is it worth the trouble to determine if the image has an effect (with eyes open and closed)?

I propose that the neutrino is to beta decay as a photon is to atomic-electron orbit decay. However, 2. the neutrino is EM plus mass (EMM?) oscillation from a bound relativistic electron. And, just as a photon does not have a fixed electric or magnetic field, I do not believe that neutrino mass is a fixed quantity. Since mass interaction is always attractive, a non-zero average mass might be measured, even if it oscillates equally along the time axis from matter to antimatter. 3. Angular momentum is discreet for the same reason that electron orbits are quantized. Integration along a closed path in a conservative system has delta E = 0 (from one path to the next). The path closure depends on all degrees of freedom. The direction of a body's ang mom axis, which precesses, as a result of its motion (a relativistic effect that gives the deBroglie relation) and from its binding potential (providing a torque), must be cyclic (just as the body's position and momentum must be cyclic for a stable path) if path closure is to be achieved. Item 3 is the classical basis for QM. Items 1 & 2 are not yet considered for the neutrino in nuclear and QM physics.

Re: [Vo]:cannon balls and curling stones
Harry, I'm glad that people are reexamining models of the motion of trapped "bodies" on the surface of a "sphere". Your comment about the varying weight density of the stone may touch on the explanation of the Goos-Hanchen and Imbert-Federov effects on total internal reflection at the optical level. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goos%E2%80%93H%C3%A4nchen_effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imbert%E2%80%93Fedorov_effect I consider these effects to be important in the total-internal-reflection, bound-photon, model of the electron.

Re: [Vo]:cannon balls and curling stones
Harry, You are touching on an important area that I am also contemplating. Your frictionless, smooth, planet provides a constraint to the motion of a disk on its surface. It is a real (physical) constraint, independent of frame of reference and disk velocity. What about the nuclear hard core or the centrifugal force? The centrifugal force is frame dependent and only provides a virtual potential. I don't know if the nuclear hard core has been adequately defined yet. However, if your disk is traveling fast enough to not touch the surface and then slows down just enough to touch the surface, then its interaction with a "weight-measuring" device would indicate it to have no weight prior to touch down and a very small weight afterward. In GR, a small deviation from a geodesic (where "weight" would be zero) would result in a small restoring force. Thus, as the disk slows down, its geodesic changes. If the planet surface prevents the alteration of the disk's path to follow the changing geodesic, then it experiences a slight force from the attempt to alter the path to get the disk back to its geodesic. This small force on a measuring device would certainly not correspond to the weight of the disk if it were stationary on the surface.

Harry, For your ice covered planet, you may need to indicate if it is rotating or not and then, depending on your frame of reference, address Coriolis forces. This link addresses the weight at poles vs that at the equator. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_force#Weight_of_an_object_at_the_poles_and_on_the_equator The difference between* centrifugal force* vs the *reactive* centrifugal force[41] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_force#cite_note-Bowser-41>[42] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_force#cite_note-Angelo-42> is interesting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive_centrifugal_force#Difference_from_centrifugal_pseudoforce Andrew _ __ _ On Wed, Jan 22, 2020 at 11:30 PM H LV wrote: > > On Wed, Jan 22, 2020 at 4:46 PM H LV wrote: > >> >> On Mon, Jan 13, 2020 at 12:21 PM H LV wrote: >> >>> >>> On Mon, Jan 13, 2020 at 10:15 AM H LV wrote: >>> >>>> This is an illustration from Newton's Principia of his famous cannon >>>> thought experiment.

Re: [Vo]:Looking for feedback on gravity control experiment
Jurg, I'm sorry that I do not have the time to look at your model (nor perhaps do I even have the math capability). However, your mention of the "electron perturbative mass" rang a bell. I look at the situation from a physical view-point. Every s-orbital atomic electron transits its nuclear region and is relativistic during that time. During that time, its EM-field energy grows greatly and alters its "shape". As such, it distorts space and alters the electron's effective mass (and gravitational attraction). However, in that process, it takes energy from the nucleus, which may be >95% relativistic mass itself. Thus, while there is no net change in the energy of an atom, there may be a change in the net-mass component. This may be reflected in your equation below. (I hope to be able to look at it more closely at some point.) You see that "gravitation is an EM *force*". I would phrase it slightly differently. I would say that gravitation is an EM *effect*, being associated with the *difference* between the relativistic EM-field energies when different velocities are considered in combination (e.g., those of the electron and of the nuclear components). Without proof, I would attribute the differences to the non-linearity of gamma. For a lepton, free in space, the difference would be between its net velocity and the internal velocity associated with its spin component.

Re: [Vo]:X17, UDH and a fifth force (or dark matter)
While the presence of a ~17 MeV decay path, from excited 4He could explain aspects of the D+D => 4He of CF by avoiding both the fragmentation and lack of >20 MeV photons from this fusion, there are other problems with this solution. The main problem is the lack of 511 keV annihilation radiation from the positrons posited. An associated problem is the quantity of lepton energy, required to produce the observed excess heat, would mean vast quantities of the positrons to produce said radiation. On the other hand, there are arguments for why such a decay path could be possible for CF, if we consider the two ~100 MeV deep-orbit electrons created in the fusing of the deuterium pair. A better test of the X17 hypothesis might be the photo-excitation to the first excited states of 4He. Present results of such work yield the dominant proton + tritium fragmentation of those excitations. However, it is unlikely that such experiments sought, or were even equipped to selectively detect and identify, the energetic leptons proposed for the X17 model Andrew _ _ _ On Tue, Nov 26, 2019 at 9:56 AM Jones Beene wrote: > As fate would have it, the identity of a "fifth force" of nature is > becoming closely tied to LENR and the findings of Holmlid about proton > annihilation. > > Five years ago in Hungary, Attila Krasznahorkay at the Hungarian Inst.for > Nuclear Research presented evidence for a previously undescribed light > boson (17 MeV) - which is about 34 times heavier than the electron.

Re: [Vo]:Dense hydrogen may facilitate water splitting
Jones, You have raised an interesting point. In comparing the sub-atom-sized hydrino with the nuclear-sized femto-H, we might see growth (to a steady-state) of "compact" molecules and of heavier nuclei (via nucleo-synthesis) in a non-stellar environment. I think that there is room for both species to exist and to "hide" in the terrestrial environment.

Re: [Vo]:Dense hydrogen may facilitate water splitting
Bob, Since I have been working on the deep-electron orbit model and its consequences (e.g., femto-H and femto-molecules) for the last decade, most of your questions have already been answered (see the links below - from ICCF-21- and the references therein). http://coldfusioncommunity.net/pdf/jcmns/v29/353_JCMNS-Vol29.pdf https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6zQXb-L7L8&t=136s Your suggestion about dense water is clearly an interesting extension of this work. However, the dense water would be only marginally denser since the molecule formed with femto-H and 16O could act as a 18O halo nuclide (not yet found, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_nucleus). The fact that 17O and 18O are stable nuclei means that either halo nucleus (femto-molecules) is less stable than the heavier isotopes. A study of the individual halo nuclides and their decay modes (e.g., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_boron#Boron-19 vs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_boron#Boron-8) can give information about the nature of the femto-molecular bond formed between the femto-H and a heavier nucleus. I am presently writing a paper on the transition from a femto-H atom to a neutron (as a proton with an occupied deeper-electron orbit), so my responding to your comments has been useful in my thinking. Thank you.

Re: [Vo]:FW: coherent system energy states
If my model of the neutrino is correct, then neutrinos have low probability of interacting with non-relativistic charges. If my model of quarks is correct, then they are composed of relativistic charges. Nevertheless. there is still the problem of frequency differences between neutrinos and the quark components, as well as the possibility that there are no accessible excited states of the quark components.

Re: [Vo]:FW: coherent system energy states
Dear Bob C. I can picture the neutrino as being involved in the interaction between electron and nucleus. However, my picture is definitely non-standard. At the short distance of deep-orbits from the nucleus, the neutrino (considered to be similar to photons) would be in the "longitudinal photon" mode. I view the neutrino mass as oscillating (probably averaging to zero) and therefore not subject to accurate measure. This oscillation (if time dilated) could explain the GSI time anomaly ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutrino#GSI_anomaly). With all of the contradictions and problems with present neutrino models, I would consider alternative models to be nearly as valid as "accepted" models. I would consider the present concepts of spin, ang mom, mass, and even charge to be suspect. While what you have added in your most recent email contributes to my thoughts, I was hoping that you might have something that was absolutely convincing. I'll make a couple comments there.

Re: [Vo]:FW: coherent system energy states
Bob, You have raised some important points in your answers to Robin. Can you provide some references to support them? In particular, I am interested in the non-photonic transfer of angular momentum from the nucleus to a bound electron. I think that it is well accepted that the nucleus can transfer energy to bound electrons via the Coulomb field. Nevertheless, I think that Schwinger, along with his papers on cold fusion, was mocked for suggesting that internal nuclear energy could be shared with the potential energy of electrons and thus the lattice. However, as a central force, this energy transfer cannot convey ang mom. My interest is in the interaction of deep-orbit electrons with the internal structure of the nucleus such as charged quarks and possible sub-components. At close range, these bodies are no longer providing just central forces. While the interaction is not photonic in the normal sense (i.e., via transverse EM waves), it *can* be considered via longitudinal photons. Again, internal conversion, would suggest that no ang mom need be transferred in such interactions. This does not suggest that such transfer cannot occur, only that it is not observed on the normal scale of hbar. (If I am wrong about this, I would appreciate correction.) Compound nuclei have ang mom on this level that can be transferred to the EM field to form photons. However, is there any information on ang mom of quarks? If so, this could lead to speculation about non-scalar coupling between a proton and a deep-orbit electron.

Re: [Vo]:This could be an indication of "dense hydrogen" from solarorigin
Of course Dirac, Klein, and Gordon should head the list, since their relativistic QM equations started much of this over 80 years ago. While they were not snubbed, the deep-orbit electron level was certainly rejected by the mainstream. You should add Jean-Luc Paillet to the list since he is confirming and improving the deep Dirac levels that Va'vra and Maly presented (along with those of Klein and Gordon) to the CMNS community in 1993 - 1995. Jon Naudts, in 2005, proposed the deep-electron orbit for CF based on the Klein-Gordon (relativistic Schrodinger) equation for spinless particles. Including spin (via the Dirac equations) only changed the binding energy of these orbits by ~ 2 keV. Every decade since 1959 has someone publishing on the deep-electron orbits of the Dirac and/or Klein-Gordon equations. Just as regularly, the mainstream pushed the idea down to preserve the status quo. Schwinger was also "scorned" when he proposed that nuclear energy could be shared with bound electrons since this could lead to deeper orbits and fusion. _ _ _ On Wed, Jun 12, 2019 at 8:11 PM JonesBeene wrote: > > > How low can you go? > > > > Picometers are so passe’… > > > > The $64 question… what is the densest of the dense? > > > > Has anyone ever put together a table which lists the various theories of > dense hydrogen and also lists the diameter of the densest species supported > by the theory? > > > > This could be an opportune time to start such a table. > > > > Here are some names that come to find who have written specifically on > dense hydrogen with size estimates.

Re: [Vo]:This could be an indication of "dense hydrogen" from solar origin
Jean-Luc Paillet and I are interested in this 2nd link “A simple argument that small hydrogen may exist” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0370269319303624, <https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0370269319303624> because we think that 5 (out of 6) sections support our contention that deep-orbit electrons are the theoretical basis for cold fusion. Its author, Va’vra at Stanford/SLAC, was one of two authors of two papers (refs 4 & 5 in the link) that are the best on the topic of deep-orbit electrons. This most recent paper (unlike refs 4 & 5) appears to have been done in a hurry, because there are lapses in his arguments and development. We intend to write a response, or 2nd paper, to this journal supporting his conclusions and correcting and strengthening his arguments.

Re: [Vo]:Planckian dissipation phenomenon
Dear Jones, I suspect that it will take a convergence of ideas to solve the CF problem. I haven't the time, presently, to come up to speed on Jurg's model (I may have to make the time at some point). I was unaware that spintronics can increase the effective mass of electrons. However, I suspect that is in the context of a lattice; if so, such an increase would not be surprising. Just as charged particles are trapped in the Van Allen belts by "mirroring" in the Earth's mag field gradient, this could happen to conduction electrons within a lattice. This would certainly add to the increase in effective mass from the E-field barriers of the lattice. Right now, I am toying with Jean-Luc Paillet's concept of ~100 MeV relativistic electrons in deep orbits to act as muons and pions and a potential source of nuclear forces. As a consequence of deep-orbit interactions (e.g., spin-spin interaction between nucleons, quarks, and electrons), we may be able to understand the additional SS interactions, if a second such electron (or a positron) is present (as I suspect may be the case in the structure of neutrons - or even quarks). I would not be surprised if Holmlid's work (and spintronics) can contribute to new (or, at least, modified) models of nuclear and atomic physics.

Re: [Vo]:Planckian dissipation phenomenon
Jones, In answer to your question about the "known binding energy for spin-paired electrons," KP Sinha and I have some theoretical papers that provide some information that would support the application of spin-paired electrons to CF. KP's early work on the pair includes published references to them and KP coined the phrase for the pair as a local-charged boson (the Lochon) that can be found in [K. P. Sinha, Infinite Energy 29, 54 (2000)]. An extension of this model is in: K. P. Sinha and A. Meulenberg, “A Model for Enhanced Fusion Reaction in a Solid Matrix of Metal Deuterides,” Proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Cold Fusion (ICCF-14) 10-15 August 2008 Washington DC p. 633, http://coldfusioncommunity.net/pdf/conf/ICCF-14/633_ICCF-14.pdf These papers were prior to our deep-orbit electron models, but the concept can still be useful in helping to get electrons into those deep orbits. A possible weakness in the ICCF-14 model is the assumption that the increased effective mass of a lattice electron would be valid for atomic-hydrogen spacings (dimensions) below that of the lattice. However, the assumption that the hydrogen would be in a linear sub-lattice, which could "shrink", lent some credence to that assumption. This later led to a model of a lattice-bound, linear-H, molecule being an option for populating the deep-electron orbits and producing CF: A. Meulenberg, K.P.

Re: [Vo]:The Casimir force can be tuned and even reversed
Dear Axil, In pursuing an enhanced thermo-photovoltaic device at Draper Labs at the turn of the century, our group developed and utilized a computer code for optical coupling between surfaces. I noticed at the time that the code output included the force between the plates and that, when the optical emission exceeded the blackbody emission limit (by frustrated total internal reflection at fractional wavelength spacings of the plates), the force between the plates was repulsive. This was for thermally-generated emission of a randomly-polarized light spectrum; but, it could be tuned and enhanced by proper selection of material properties and thin-film coating thicknesses (see "Spectral selectivity from resonant-coupling in microgap-TPV," A. Meulenberg, K. P. Sinha for details). arXiv:0911.0860 <https://arxiv.org/abs/0911.0860> This fits with the concept of the Casimir force ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casimir_effect) by greatly increasing the wave-energy content between the plates over that on the outside of the plates. The effect is strongly temperature dependent ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-body_radiation#Stefan%E2%80%93Boltzmann_law); but, it is not limited to electrical conductors. (If the receiving plate surface is optically tuned to the selective emission of the "hot" plate, the force between them may become attractive instead of repulsive. I never checked on that detail of the model.) Since, as an engineering lab, we were application oriented, we did not look at the forces between the plates. We were concerned about developing a means of uniformly forcing two 2x2 cm flat plates together within a fraction of a micron without their making thermal-phonon contact. We lost our government funding (in 2005) and closed the internally-funded project down. It was spun off to become MTPV (https://www.mtpv.com/products/) and I retired to work on CF and other projects. If I had time, I suppose a reply to the paper in Phys Rev D would be appropriate. However, I'll write Bob Dimatteo, who was the project head at Draper and founder of MTPV Corp., to see if anyone still has that code.

Re: [Vo]:D. Alexandrov, Proposal for the development of an LENR reactor
Dear Bob, Point charge is only a mathematical convenience, valid for isotropic sources or conductors when measured beyond any of their charge distribution. We are taught in freshman physics how to treat the static fields inside a charge distribution. That said, the problem gets more difficult when dynamics are considered, and even more so for relativistic dynamics (where Jean-Luc has been working), and even further when the test region has a strong influence on the source distribution and fields. If I remember correctly, Feynman, in his Lectures, stated that the 1/r Coulomb potential was valid up to the nuclear radius. I might agree down to about 10 fm. Below that, I might argue with him unless he limits the statement to static, spinless, charges. Because of our interest in the deep-electron orbits, we are presently exploring the real nuclear region in our papers. Nevertheless, we are still using approximations, valid for large distances as initial approximations and then applying corrections for relativistic and proximity effects as we see them. There is little to no useful literature for such corrections in this region. Further in, it was easier to start from scratch and nuclear physics took over when spin-spin effects became stronger than spin-orbit effects. Cold fusion and the deep-orbits are caught in the quagmire region between atomic and nuclear physics. I doubt that there will be any easy answers. I still ask the question "when do two fermions combine to become a boson?" We look at the H atom, positronium, and deuteron as bosons; but, the neutron is a fermion (because a neutrino is added or subtracted?). What is the femto-H atom?

We are presently pursuing the relativistic deep-orbit electrons, which Jean-Luc has described so well, and their interaction with the nucleus. At least I will also be looking at the possibility that the relativistic-electron effects could lead to intra-nuclear components and interactions. Before 1995, I did derive (classically) the "fractional" orbits below the atomic ground state, but did not think these 1/n states to be important because they could not be reached by photonic processes. When I later found out what Mills had been doing, I emailed him my warning about these levels having too little angular momentum to form photons. He never responded, so he may have figured that out for himself and, much to his credit, he chose other approaches, which I considered a big step. However, I thought that he made a mistake going for plasma rather than solid state as a base. (If he were to use a UV light source or other means to invert the lowest hydrogen atomic levels and "seed" the mixture with annihilation radiation for stimulated emission, he might get a significant deep-level (not a fractional-level) population. However, without mirrors at that energy, the system is unlikely to lase.) I did not think much of the non-photonic options for my own CF models until I had looked more closely at cold fusion products (late in 2008).

Re: [Vo]:D. Alexandrov, Proposal for the development of an LENR reactor
I have rejected the common concept of "heavy" electrons as applicable to LENR by simple reasoning. The definition of electron and hole effective mass in a semiconductor refers to the acceleration in that material from a force applied, m =* F/a*). This mass increase does not apply *within* a confinement site and, particularly, not at the nuclear level. Nevertheless, spatial confinement can significantly distort atomic orbital shapes and energy levels and this could lead to unusual effects. Also, confinement allows an increase in electron kinetic-energy levels and thus a decrease in average proximity of the electron to a nucleus. Nevertheless, the increased energy levels are on the eV level, not even at the 10s of eV level. On the other hand, such confinement, while not as great as that produced by the higher mass of a muon, can have a significant effect (nearly an order-of-magnitude) on the number of interactions per second with, and on the tunneling probability of atomic electrons into, nuclei in the confinement region. Unfortunately, any nuclear reaction induced by such electrons will be limited and of the "hot" fusion type. It takes something more to make relativistic electrons. That is where the deep-electron orbits enter the picture. They can have binding energies in the hundreds of keV and kinetic energies in the 100s of MeV. This would *not *give hot-fusion type results. Strangely enough, the deep orbits are long predicted by relativistic quantum mechanics. They just were not believed because nobody had seen them, or their results.

Re: [Vo]:The PP fusion reaction in LENR
Dear Robin, I believe that quarks and their constituent parts move rapidly within the nucleus. The parts (I would hold to be leptons) are definitely highly relativistic. If they slow down in the presence of external fields, then their effective mass would definitely decrease. I also agree with your concept of the nucleus and its components as resonators. Bob Cook's statement of Quarks being mathematical constructs is correct. However, that does not prevent them from leading to the understanding of a physical 'reality'. I would be interested in the paper that he mentioned. (I may already have the one to which he is referring. If so, it has some good and some weak points.)

Re: [Vo]:The PP fusion reaction in LENR
I am glad to see a discussion of changes in mass depending on environment. I feel that this is fundamental to the CF story of D-D => 4He and many other observables. Rest mass (stationary, isolated in space, and with zero potentials) is constant. Add velocity and the effective mass increases. Add fields/potentials, and the effective mass (not the rest mass) increases or decreases. Adding an electron to a proton orbit decreases the atomic mass to below the combined rest masses of a proton and electron. The electron effective mass increases from its increase in velocity. The remaining atomic mass (that of the proton) must decrease as a photon is released. The Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations predict deep electron orbits with binding energy of > 0.5 MeV. The resulting femto-atom will have that much less mass. The femto-hydrogen electron will be relativistic (~ 1 or ~100 MeV depending on the model used). The nucleus (a proton) mass must be reduced by at least that amount. In either model, the atomic mass changes by the same amount (~ 0.5 MeV). This change in nuclear mass has a major impact on how we calculate things and claim what is possible or not in this new regime. The basis for the nuclear change comes from the nucleon interactions in a compound nucleus and in the quark interactions in even a single proton. These charged components are greatly affected by the strong fields of a proximate (fermi distance of a) deep-orbit electron. Andrew M.

Re: [Vo]:Cold Fusion Catalyzed Hot Fission - A promising hybrid orjust hand-waving?
Bob, The experimentally-determined charge distribution of a neutron shows an outer "shell" of negative charge and thus the neutron should be polarizable. Had this been known early on, when the neutron was considered to be a proton + electron, I think the battle for that view would never have been lost and the result of relativistic-QM equations indicating deep-electron orbits would have been accepted 80 years ago. [The recently observed 'peak' in negative charge density at the very center of the neutron would result from the overlap of electron 'charge' density from the greater than nuclear-size deep-orbit electrons. Of course such musing of "nuclear electrons" is not allowed in publication because it would violate holy writ.] Andrew On Sun, Apr 22, 2018 at 10:41 PM, bobcook39...@hotmail.com < bobcook39...@hotmail.com> wrote: > Robin > > > > I did not know neutrons have a negative (I assume negative electric field) > and hence negative charge in any observable time frame. st there > experimental evidence for this feature of a neutron? > > > > Bob Cook > > > > Sent from Mail <https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for > Windows 10 > > > -- > *From:* mix...@bigpond.com > *Sent:* Sunday, April 22, 2018 6:43:00 PM > *To:* vortex-l@eskimo.com > *Subject:* Re: [Vo]:Cold Fusion Catalyzed Hot Fission - A promising > hybrid orjust hand-waving? > > In reply to bobcook39...@hotmail.com's message of Sun, 22 Apr 2018 > 20:30:21 > +: > Hi, > [snip] > > > >Jones— > > > >You state: > > > >“Coupling is not needed.

Re: [Vo]:The Purcell Effect
About 20 years ago, I read an article in Physics Today that could have referred to the Purcell effect (I don't remember). It talked of suppression of atomic decay in a waveguide too small to support the photon that would normally be emitted. Decay did not occur until the excited atom exited the waveguide. This was one of those major events in my physics education. I am surprised that more has not been made of it in terms of understanding the nature of light. Axil Axil's mention of acceleration of nuclear photonic decay by resonance surprised me, until I thought about it. This appears to be a form of stimulated atomic emission and nuclear-photonic excitation. The implications are as immense as those of the suppression mechanism. To me, a major importance to LENR is in the mode of induced decay from the hydrogen groundstate to its deep-electron orbit via resonant coupling to the low-lying (hundreds of keV) 1st excited states of the 7Li nucleus, to some odd-A Ni isotopes and to some, particularly the even-A, Pd isotopes. If it is as important as I think, then many other materials might become active candidates for cold fusion.

Re: CMNS: Re: [Vo]:Metallic hydrogen does not exist
Brian, I would rewrite your statement to read " The *undistorted* molecular orbitals of h2 and h liquid/solid *can*not support metallic characteristics." Nevertheless, if you look at the change and spread in atomic and molecular orbital parameters as a function of lattice spacing (e.g., in Kittel's "Solid State Physics, at least in the earlier editions), you can see the basis for my modification to your statement. Recognition of the fact of orbital modification in a generic lattice certainly opens the way to seek specific changes in specific environments. Molecular orbitals could be considered as metallic extensions of atomic orbitals. Combining multiple H atoms or H2 molecules in a common potential well should certainly provide the opportunity to form multi-atom H molecules, which would be metallic in nature.

Re: [Vo]:Metallic hydrogen does not exist
If we define metals as materials with electrons that are bound to a lattice, but not to an individual atoms, then there is another (proposed) option for producing metallic H (at least on the sub-lattice level). K.P. Sinha, Ed Storms, and I have all proposed linear defects as a potential source for LENR. A. Meulenberg, “Pictorial description for LENR in linear defects of a lattice,” ICCF-18, 18th Int.

Sci. 15 (2015), 117-124 If H atoms are inserted into linear defects of a lattice, the 'random' motion of the H2 molecular electrons is constrained. This lateral constraint of the electron motion means that, instead of massive pressures needed to bring H nuclei close enough together to lower the barrier between atoms, the progressive alignment and increasing overlap of the linearized electrons will do the same thing at room temperature. Progressive loading of H into the lattice defect, may produce a phase change in the H sub-lattice, if conditions are right. The proposed conditions are that the lattice structure of the linear defect, while strong enough to compress the lateral motion of the H electrons, does not strongly impose the lattice spacing onto the sub-lattice. The ability of the sub-lattice to alter/reduce its periodic structure means that at some point in the loading process the aligned-H2 molecular structure changes to that of H(n) and thus the local electrons are now bound to the larger molecule, not just to the pairs. If this alignment happens, and if the sub-lattice spacing can shrink, then a feedback mechanism of the electron-reduced Coulomb barrier between protons becomes dominant and cold fusion is initiated. A question of the process is the nature of the Pauli exclusion principle in this formation of H(n). Spin pairing, both between the individual electrons and between pairs, changes the fermi repulsion to bosonic attraction of electron pairs. It is likely that the pairing is spatially (and temporally?) periodic and this periodicity will introduce resonances between the lattice (fixed) and sub-lattice (variable) spacing. These resonances, which depend on lattice, nature of defect, temperature, and loading, could be the critical feature of amplitude in variations of H(n) nuclear spacing and of rates of cold fusion.

Re: [Vo]:Quantized inertia Ted talk removes need for dark matterandexplains the EM drive
Thank you for the reference (below). I see this as a possible explanation of the coherent optical (and x-ray?) emission and even the rf emissions that have been detected in active CF reactions. The intense EM fields (direct and as photons) associated with nuclear decay via the deep-orbit electrons (proposed as the operative mechanism for CF effects) act as an intense 'pump' source to produce microscopic (perhaps plasma-like) lasing regions: "... the statistical properties of the emission of a laser with non-resonant feedback are very close to those of the emission from an extremely bright ‘black body’ in a narrow range of the spectrum. The emission of such a laser has no spatial coherence and is not stable in phase." Nevertheless, linear defects within the lattice (a proposed source of CF) would provide a basis for spatial coherence. The reference addresses, and has many sources on, types of lasing that we generally don't consider. Andrew M.

First, the cable Andrew is referring to is the one from the AC wall plug to the control box. The REASON why Andrew and others are asking if Rossi would allow the scientists to use their own AC power cable is because of the diagram on this page which is immediately following the pie chart of "Natural Nickel Composition": http://scienceblogs.com/startswithabang/2013/05/21/the-e-cat-is-back-and-people-are-still-falling-for-it/ The diagram is by Peter Thieberger, a particle physicist. It shows how some 'rewiring ' of a power cable can be done so that it will register NO current on any meters monitoring the separate wires of the power cable. I do not know if this scenario is one that the test team thought about, but if someone can present them with the diagram and find out if their measurements can eliminate this possibility, that'd be great. If they did not account for this scenario, then we need to make sure they are aware of it so the next test can eliminate this possibility of fraud. Second, when someone (Rossi) said, ". they could bring their own cables.", I got the impression that this was only referring to the cables which attach the measurement instruments to the system (e.g., the cables from the Power Analyzer to the AC power cable), NOT the AC power cable. So let's not get confused as to 'what cables' are being referred to. -Mark Iverson From: Jed Rothwell [mailto:jedrothw...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 28, 2013 11:28 AM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: Re: [Vo]:Ethics of the E-Cat investigation put into question Andrew wrote: The cable is what connects the control box to the device.

It's also suspicious because it supplies a much higher power, and that may have been necessary in the run where the ceramic melted. And regardless of how long it's been around, it is more difficult to measure power than from a simple single-stage ac input.

Re: [Vo]:Ethics of the E-Cat investigation put into question
The cable is what connects the control box to the device. It appears from the report that they did not examine it for anomalies. So, are the researchers free to replace it with one of their own, or not? The March dummy calibration run, according to the report, involved placing voltage probes across the device while the control box was switched on in non-pulsed mode. So your statement that "At no point did they measure output from the controller" contradicts that. Please clarify.

You are aware that several alleged technical mistakes have been pointed out, such as omitting control on DC current input (which has been acknowledged by Prof. Essén in a recent interview) and assuming that the output heat is released by a perfect black body (this assumption is contested by Prof. Gianni Comoretto, for example). The picture that emerges, and I am sorry if this sounds offensive, is that some crucial measures have not been taken seriously enough on a discovery that, if genuine, would alter the history of mankind. However, I have an issue that appears to me even more important, because it concerns the very essence of your continued activities on Rossi’s device. Our job as researchers is to advance knowledge, and to do so whatever we investigate must be reproducible by other researchers, so that the knowledge we generate becomes established and we can move forward. This seems at odds with your behaviour. You went to the workshop of a private individual who claims to be solving half of mankind’s problems, and performed measures on a device that you could not fully control and that is not available to other researchers. Therefore, your manuscript does not contain any reproducible experience. So, how does it advance knowledge? What do we learn? This brings me to asking another natural question: who will profit from the release of your manuscript? You do realise that Mr Rossi sells distribution licences and that he needs to convince customers to order some of his plants. There is no doubt that your manuscript will help that market, but is this something that academics should do? Is our job to help a private sell his stuff in the absence of solid, reproducible evidence? In other words, I wonder whether you are adhering to the scientific method and I wonder whether what you are doing is legitimate for academics. Others questioned your technical ability, but I think that the ethical questions that I am posing here come before, also because they are more understandable by the layman. I trust that you appreciate my frankness, and I hope that you can prove my concerns unjustified. I am forwarding this letter in copy to several persons who are following this matter: Ugo Bardi (Professor of Chemistry, Univ. Florence, blogger), Dario Braga (Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research, University of Bologna), Sylvie Coyaud (Scientific Journalist, Il Sole 24 Ore), Camillo Franchini (blogger, former Supervisor of the CAMEN nuclear plant) and Giancarlo Ruocco (Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research, La Sapienza, Rome).

However, inside that bulk Ni are dislocations and voids caused by stress relief and perhaps other well know processes.

"it obviously is quite different than the bulk, or else there would be a big hole in the earth,instead of the tabletop! " We do get lots of large holes in the bulk, we call them "sinkholes" some are very large and strange. I have been tracking approx. 120 along with the weather patterns. Here is an interesting one from 2011 http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/blogpost/post/sinkhole-found-under-guatemalan-womans-bed/2011/07/21/gIQAw3ThRI_blog.html "Processes in the bulk can be considered random and disordered, and therefore one must use QM and probabilities to predict behaviors" Our weather patterns on Earth are not random and disordered, in fact when nature creates waterspouts, tornadoes, hurricanes and severe cold fronts from originally a random and disordered gas she is showing us her ability to organize random gasseous environment into a thermodynamic and electromagnetic marvel. "bulk's physics of chaotic randomness does NOT support this concentration of energy" Air + Water Vapor = 9.6 Megatons (600 Hiroshima Bombs) from the latest Oklahoma tornado mentioned by scientists here Snowball + Empty Space >= 1 Megaton (Greater than Million times Nuclear Brightness Magnitude Increase) from Comet Holmes mentioned by Scientists here and researched to be from “exotic ice” here (that research must have been dreamt up while smoking something exotic) Rock/Metal + Air = 30 Megatons (Tunguska), unfortunately they can’t find the pieces, just a lake and some sinkholes Rock/Metal + Air =480 Kilotons (Chelyabinsk), Unfortunately they are mostly left with a large hole in the ice and some itty bitty pieces. Air + Water Vapor = 95.6 Megatons (Annual Total of lightning striking Earth) from here, you can check my conversion here Air + Water Vapor = 12428 MEGATONS (Energy Released DAILY FROM A HURRICANE). You can find it here Rock + Rock = 2390 Megatons (Annual Energy from Earthquakes – 23 ergs). You can find it here In summary, I'm not sure I agree with your interpretation of the "bulk" unless you just limit it to the physics of a local area of spacetime.

I would bet that once we understand what is going on in NAEs (generally speaking), it will NOT be random, and will be modeled in a more classical manner. I see much discussion about the conditions necessary to overcome the coulomb barrier. In trying to think their way thru it, they apply some scientific 'rules' so as to propose something that is at least reasonable, and rightfully so. However, the 'rules' seem to me to be taken from what's expected of the bulk properties, and I take issue with that. The concept of resonances and coherent (or in-phase) oscillatory systems can cause long-term localized regions which concentrate energy; the bulk's physics of chaotic randomness does NOT support this concentration of energy. For the localized areas (NAEs), is the concentration of energy enough to overcome the coulomb barrier? Time will tell. Tesla was generating potentials of tens of millions of volts in his secondary from only a few hundred volts in his primary, so amplification factors of 4 to 6 orders of magnitude are perfectly reasonable... -Mark _ From: Jones Beene [mailto:jone...@pacbell.net] Sent: Monday, May 27, 2013 9:54 AM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: RE: [Vo]:Water Window, Hexavalency, Bergius and Rossi Mark, Yes - the "energy localization" aspect of Ahern/Dicke/Preparata and the superradiance modality could apply to any secondary reaction which benefits from local mechanical pressure

"Power from an AC source can only be extracted by the fundamental component of that source, period. " An uneducated and completely incorrect statement like that disqualifies you, in my view, from making any further comments about the EE aspects of this experiment. If you do, I urge anyone reading them to ignore them, because in all likelihood they will also be wrong.

I leave this discussion by asking you one pertinent question. Where do you think the power comes from that ends up in the resistor? There is only one source and it is the AC mains. Power from an AC source can only be extracted by the fundamental component of that source, period. All others, including DC balance out over the long run and can not make a long term contribution. Once you realize that this is true, which is common theory, it will become clear to you that a measurement of these two waveforms is all that is required. Forget the nonsense about diodes faking out good AC true RMS instruments. It don't happen.

First, consider a wire carrying 100 amps of direct current, plus one amp of pure sinusoidal AC current at 60Hz. What is the AC component of the current? Duncan P.S. Don't worry, we will get to the diode later. On 5/27/2013 11:57 AM, David Roberson wrote: Duncan, I hate to keep repeating myself that the power can be measured by analyzing the AC components only. When will you guys show why this is not true? I suggest that you start with the simple system you proposed of a diode in series with a resistor driven by an AC wall socket. Explain how it works as you say and I promise to show you the error of your calculations.

I am certainly not suggesting that there was a DC power supply hidden in the wall! My doubts are related to the electrical engineering skills evident in the published paper, attempting the notoriously difficult task of measuring three phase non sinusoidal power. Not only is the waveform non sinusoidal, it is a trade secret! I am merely saying that rectification will cause a misleadingly low value of current to be registered using a clamp on ammeter. Since the DC is not smooth, there will, indeed, be a small reading from the ammeter but substantially lower than the actual current. This will, in turn, lead to a misleadingly low power measurement. Duncan On 5/26/2013 8:46 PM, David Roberson wrote: Robin, The problem at hand is that the skeptic claims that power due to the DC current can be very large and not detected. There has been no discussion of the AC current reading being affected by the DC so far. That is a different issue entirely. I would like for them to answer the questions because then they might realize that their position is invalid. I can explain this if required. No one is suggesting that Rossi actually has a DC power supply hidden within the wall I hope. This would be beyond reality since it would be so easy to measure with a voltmeter or any monitor that looks at the voltage. The testers did a visual look at the voltage from what I have determined. So, skeptics, what say you?

A full bridge rectifier will allow for both halves of the AC current to pass, and so it should be measured as little different to a purely resistive load. However a single diode will only allow one half to pass, which *may* mess up magnetic field based current measurements.
