Re: [Vo]:Fringe
Ed, You are making the experiment to hard. All that is need is a @ 5 inch palladium wire. The wire would be run through a divider. On one side of the wall would be low pressure hydrogen. On the other side would be water though which you could see the hydrogen bubbling. Connect a signal generator at each end of the wire. Turn it on vary the frequency and watch the bubbles. Easy enough. I would like to see this done. Frank In a message dated 6/19/2009 4:17:36 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, stor...@ix.netcom.com writes: This might be something KivaLabs could try, Frank.

That is because (at thermal frequencies) the co-herance length is about 50nm. There is normal material between these hyperconducing grains that blocks diffusion.

Re: [Vo]:Fringe
My knowledge of quantum effects is rather provincial, so please take this into consideration concerning the quality of my question. I've heard of a phenomenon akin to subatomic particles being able to "bore" effortlessly through atoms in a manner roughly similar to playing croquet, where you place your foot on a ball and whack it with the hammer causing an adjacent physically touching ball to go flying across the lawn. It's my understanding there is a phenomenon that describes traveling subatomic particles which, under appropriate conditions, seem to be able to pass effortlessly through an atom and magically reappear on the other side where they can continue unhindered on their original trajectory. It is as if no resistance was experienced while the subatomic particle was in intimate contact with the atom. Such a phenomenon, if I am describing it correctly, seems to bring up questions in regards to what the hell happened to the Coulomb barrier. Makes me wonder if the phenomenon, if better understood, might be able to avail itself to tricking the nucleus into doing weird things... like possibly rearranging the proton/neutron ratio. ...or perhaps finessing a few out or in.

Re: [Vo]:Fringe
Let me see if I can explain what you are saying in your paper. 1. You accept that Planck's constant describes the energy of photons. 2. You propose that your constant describes the geometry (size) of the emitting structure. 3. You assume the size of the photon is given by rp, as defined in Equation 1, which relates energy to centrifugal force of an electron in a circular orbit having a radius of rp. Since rp has different dimensions in different quantum states within atomic orbits, the size of the photon is also variable in a quantum way based on your approach. 4. You then calculate the gravitational field Einstein would expect to result from this force. You lost me at this point. A gravitational field induces a force, not the other way around. The force you have calculated in Equation 1 is a centrifugal force, which does not have any detectable gravity associated with it when it is produce in the normal world. Are you proposing that gravity, as we know it, is produced by the motion of electrons in their atomic orbits? Ed On Jun 18, 2009, at 1:13 PM, fznidar...@aol.com wrote: Answer:?

Quantum physics can be built on a structure of the stationary quantum states de fined by Plancks constant.. I have shown quantum physics can be built on a structure defined by the velocity of transitional quantum state. This velocity = the fine c/twice the fine structure constant. So what is the big deal? I have just rearranged known values. The big deal is that the transitional velocity is a classical constant. It is set by the velocity at which disturbances propagate within the electron.

What are these conditions and why are they necessary? If such a structure should form, how do I get it to vibrate exactly at the right frequency? You have missed a point. It is not an electronic Bose condensate. It is a protonic inverse Bose condensate. The massive protons travel at much lower thermal velocities. The bonding between the slow moving protons takes place at room temperatures. Then, I assume you are proposing a novel structure. Do you know of any evidence that such structures exist in hydrogen containing materials? I have never seen this idea applied to explaining any property of PdD. The strength of the phonons that bind the protons can be reinforced with external stimualtion. This is the link between cold fusion, the electronic atomic structure, and the transtional velocity. I'm not sure why mobile protons are requied. Perhaps it is not, it may be its the spacing of the protons that matters. That could lead us down the path to new materials. I agree, the NAE is a new material. However, this realization is not very helpful without knowing something about this uniqueness other than that it initiates nuclear reactions. Answer: The range of the strong nuclear force is extended beyond the range of the coulombic. This is done in a di-force field medium that consists of a vibrating Bose condensate. This is circular reasoning, so I'm still looking for an answer. Also, I would like to know how the resulting energy is dissipated without producing significant radiation. It is not. The only way to avoid an transtional energy emission is to extend the range of the nuclear forces beyond the coumbolic. Yes, this is obvious. This occures within the bounds of the nuclear active environment. Again, this is obvious. The strength of the nuclear force also deceses with increasing range. This is well known. The range of a force field is not a conserved property of the universe. I don't know what you mean by this statement. We used to know only how to modifiy the range of the electromagnetic; with a dielectric, We now know modify the range of all of the force field. It process effects the gravity also. Stong local gravitomagentic fields can be generated. This is a major new understanding. not a circular argumant. Making obvious statements and then reaching the expected conclusion is circular. I would like to know exactly, based on your model, how strong local gravitomagentic fields can be generated, for example. I get the impression you hope your model will eventually provide these answers, but right now you have no idea how to make the expected results happen. This is ok and is a limitation of most models.

Re: [Vo]:Fringe
Answer:? Construct an inverse Bose condensate of protons and vibrate that condensate at a frequency determined by the dimensional constant of 1.094 megahertz-meters. How do we do this? Must and inverse Bose condensate have mobile protons? Will phonon vibrations within the lattice provide enough mobility? I don’t know. There must be energy levels with the condensate. The difference between the energy level must equal the energy required to spin bond two protons. What is this energy? I do know the frequency. Its determined by the megahertz-meter relationship. Perhaps the delta E can be extracted from the frequency. How are these energy levels established, I don’t know. Can the reaction be simulated on a much large scale (lower frequency) with a mechanical apparatus? Perhaps this is ball lightning. I tried to do this and failed. Perhaps all of these details will become clear. As for now they are hazy.

Re: [Vo]:Fringe
Well Frank, such ideas have value only when they show why and how most observed behaviors occur and how to make the behavior occur more consistently and at higher levels. All theories I know about met only a small fraction of this requirement. If you can have better success in this requirement, your theory will have value. Most theories are useful guides and do suggest useful approaches, but the use of assumptions to allow the data to be fit, i.e. to allow a claim to be made for predictions of behavior, greatly reduces the value. If I understand your approach, you use conventional and accepted theory to arrive at a new constant, which you assume is as fundamental as Planck's constant. You claim that the logic associated with this constant allows you to make novel predictions. You may be right. However, I would like to know, based on your model, exactly which kinds of atoms and how I need to arrange them in a solid or living cell to cause a nuclear reaction to be initiated, i.e. how the Coulomb barrier is overcome.

RE: [Vo]:Fringe
From: John Berry > Jones, have you read my variable capacitor post, subject: On Topic in any detail? If so can I have your opinion on it? I think it was you that actually identified the patent co-invented by JLN? Cannot comment on that now due to a contractual agreement, John - but would like to clarify the comment that Jed makes about the need for, or rather the perceived inability of the "garage level" inventor to make a positive contribution to LENR. This is both true and false. It is true that meaningful incremental advances, based on understanding the minutiae of the process, demand a top-notch lab. It is also true that accurately documenting positive energy gain or the nature of transmutation products demands the best and most accurate equipment. It is also true that other high-level scientists whose opinion matters (as to funding) are most impressed when the work they are reading about comes from peer level labs, like their own - if not from peers. Having said that - my strong belief is that the real breakthrough in LENR, which will be the quantum jump so to speak - the one that serves to push LENR into commercial reality - will come not from the University or well-equipped lab, but instead from someone operating in a garage-type of setting. By real breakthrough, I am referring to the situation where "serendipity meets synergy" due to an inspired vision that is based on what has gone before, but is totally off-the-wall in terms of the normal kind of "incremental advance" that big-science likes to use as its prime motivator. It will probably not even originate from an attempt to use P&F type of LENR principles at all. It will most likely be the discovery of an energy anomaly which is later shoehorned back into LENR (or the hydrino) for explication of the source of the anomaly. If you followed the iESi story, where the reaction involved a hydraulic fluid - that is the "kind of" mash-up scenario where a breakthrough can happen that is "commercializable". Even the Arata situation could be modified into commercial breakthrough - say by combining the key feature of it (nano-particles at the Forster radius) with another "synergy not anticipated thus far" - such as the addition of RF, lasers or ultrasonics. Years ago, older vorticians may remember that Vince Cockeram almost made such an paradigm shift. He witnessed a true runaway reaction that portended the gigantic kind of breakthrough which will happen soon. Had he been better funded to continue that work (and/or had air-conditioning in his work-shed) he might have succeeded then . . but IMHO the real breakthrough, when it arrives, will most likely arrive from what can be called the "fringe-of-the-fringe" - and NOT from that million dollar lab setting which is so good at making the incremental advance or documenting the details. The big "enabler" here is the internet itself. to first disseminate info from the big labs - and then to host the focused discussion (fringe) groups that stimulate the imagination of the ""fringe-of-the-fringe" inventor genius. Long live the fringe. Jones
Re: [Vo]:Fringe
To avoid making yourself ill with worry, let me add a bit of optimism. Cold fusion has left the garage level of research and entered the level of a well funded laboratory. This is progress. The theory has left the amateur level of ideas and entered the level of the trained professional. This is also progress. This is similar to the development of all technologies. You would not consider developing a commercial airliner in your basement or be able to contribute to an understanding or aeronautical engineering would you? The field is growing in spite of such people as Robert Park, who is only a visible member of a group of people who fight all new ideas simply because they have such limited imaginations. These people represent one of the characteristics of the human mind that has evolved as a defense from the other extreme that wants change without bothering to consider the consequences.

Far beyond. No point in discussing it. If you don't have a roomfull of gadgets such as SEM and mass spectrometers, forget it. The academic political opposition that has held back cold fusion is -- finally! -- starting to crumble. I can see signs of it every week. Venture capitalists and the like are coming out of the woodwork in unprecedented numbers. Agencies that have not funded research since 1989 are funding it, and others are seriously considering it. New experiments are underway. A lot of this stuff is just starting up and I cannot talk about it, but in the next few months I hope I can. There will be some discussion of new work at the MIT seminar this Saturday. No one would accuse me of being Dr. Pangloss. I am seldom optimistic without a good reasons. I think that a long last we are seeing good reasons to hope for more rapid progress in cold fusion. And if we trigger a tsunami of research, with thousands of people participating, you will see more progress every week than you see now in a year. That is what happened with airplanes in 1911, and transistors in 1954. It can happen now. My goal is to trigger that kind of uncontrolled free-for-all tsunami of competitive research. Many of today's cold fusion researchers do not want to see that happen, but frankly I hope they are swept aside. I think the researchers know what questions to ask, and what experiments are needed to make progress. Some of the researchers do, anyway. If many more enter the field some of them will do what is needed. The ones who go off on a tangent doing the wrong experiments and rushing down dead-end streets will not matter. If we could only push aside the politics and get funding, I think cold fusion would make very rapid progress. Mike McKubre thinks so too, as he said on CBS, and reiterated in remarks to me at the recent U. Missouri conference. He has more credibility than I do, to say the least. - Jed
