Conduction band moving particles that are not electrons were very clearly described in the work of Talbot and Scott Chubb. They focused their considerable genius on proton conduction which includes deuteron conduction. RIP Scott and Talbot, they were good companions in the study of cold fusion f

The "non-Fourier" propagation mode I am describing as implicated in Piantelli's Ni rod LENR only occurs in metals. It is about 50x faster than normal thermal propagation, but still <10x (slower than) the speed of sound. A useful reference to this thermal wave in metals is: N. I. Kobasko, SH. E.

According to the ORNL paper, which may not be related to this - the propagation wave does not consist of conduction band electrons but “phasons” which is a much heavier particulate, like a phonon but also much faster. Wouldn’t it be interesting if potassium ferrite was such ceramic? That exot

The interesting part of the phenomenon is not the speed of propagation per se, but what happens at the metal surface during this propagation. I believe there is a conduction band electron sweep as this type of thermal "wave" passes through the metal grains with perhaps unusual behavior when these

From: Bob Higgins One of the things I will mention in my presentation at ICCF-21 next month is detection of a non-Fourier heat transfer mode in thermal modeling work I did for a calorimeter.  Interestingly, Piantelli implicates such a mode as stimulus of LENR in his Ni rod experiments. Bob,

Superfluids all have the unique quality that all their atoms are in the same quantum state. This means they all have the same momentum, and if one moves, they all move. This allows superfluids to move without friction through the tiniest of cracks, and superfluid helium will even flow up the sides

The plasmoid is one of the most ubiquitous causes of LENR, but it is not the underlying cause in the SAFIRE reaction. The plasmoid is a complicated and hard to understand cause of the LENR reaction. The plasmoid is full of quantum mechanical and optical complications that make it very obscure and i

Another prior device comes to mind – the Qu-tube. Still a mystery. The test below showed a sample to conduct heat up to 30,000 times better than copper http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/20080009660_2008009120.pdf … thus the Qu-tube is said to be a superconductor of heat. But
