The paper seems to have all bases covered except the experience of “life-after-death.” It was not clear how the resonant conditions are maintained by the conditions created by the mechanism proposed. It seems that there must be some “ringing” of the lattice of Ni or some sound reflection that keeps the reaction going. This is suggested by the idea the authors present that calculation of sonic resonances may be an easy way to determine the appropriate resonances to start the reaction. It would seem that nano particles of Ni may not resonate for a very long time. However, the size may also keep the reaction from getting out of hand. Thus the small size of the Ni powder is important to prevent run-away reactions.

Good work Mats. The paper is quite good and understandable. Neutron spallation and slow neutron transmutation stimulated by a an electric field gradient (maybe across a surface) at a certain resonance. Lots of parameters that can be engineered. Seems to fit Rossi’s conditions well.

This is what Rickard Lundin and Hans Lidgren, two top level Swedish scientists, claim, describing their theory in a paper called Nuclear Spallation and Neutron Capture Induced by Ponderomotive Wave Forcing (full length paper here) that will be presented on Friday, October 16, at the 11th International Workshop on Anomalies in Hydrogen Loaded Metals, hosted by Airbus in Toulouse, France.
