The Water Crystal At 34:00 into this video show, Mark LeClair, the president and driving force behind Nanospire begins his presentation describing the production of fusion using cavitation. I contend that insight can be gleaned from the work, ideas and theory that LeClair conveys. His explanations seek to unveil some of the most astounding mysteries revolving around rydberg matter and what gives rydberg matter its LENR capabilities. It seems to me that the multi-segmented structure of the graphite like hexagonal plates or cells connected in a long unicellular line is what is imported to collect and store large amounts of polariton energy. The water crystal that LeClair talks about is comprised of the same plate like ensemble as rydberg matter but with a hydroxyl radical (OH) forming the plates instead of just Hydrogen. Unlike Rydberg matter where quantum mechanical processes produce the unique hexagonal crystal layout, the formation of the water crystal is based on the tremendous pressures that exist at the end of the collapse of the cavitation bubble. LeClair states that he has seen the water crystal undergoing tremendous stress but these crystals seem to be protected by a Bose Condensate based protective shield that absorbs and distributes all the energy that it generates through nuclear reactions. This shield keeps the crystal together under crushing accelerations as it eats through and digests material. What this speaks toward is that the EMF that covers the water crystal must be comprised of bosons: this means Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPP) are involved in the condensate and not only electrons. The Water Crystal is attracted electrostatically to sharp edged holes and sharp edges. They track along the electrostatic field lines that these sharp edges produce. This could be why the nickel micro particles used in the E-Cat LENR fuel requires the surface be pitted with large amounts of nano cracks generated in fuel reprocessing. LeClair also states that the water crystal produces pressures some 10000 times greater than the center of the sun and yet the water crystal stays intact to eat through meters of material. LeClair reaches into sci fi (UFO propulsion)to explain this near frictionless travel with tremendous acceleration through the substrate without regard for inertia, and stellar levels of pressure and heat. It must be a warp bubble LeClair proclaims.(1) The polariton shield is in deed resistant to cosmological levels of heat and pressure more that any material that ITER can ever deploy. Such resistance to hellish extremes in both pressures and temperatures must be a result of the mysterious monopole magnetic forces that we know that a polariton soliton can generate. The quantum effects that these forces generate are largely unknown to science and subject to the exotic rules laid down by a new type of undeveloped and extremely complex quantum science called Nonassociative Quantum Mechanics. This Polariton shield must also protects Holmlid's Rydberg matter when he produces his nuclear effects since his Rydberg matter persists over many laser shots. How can a flimsy collection of atoms that form Rydberg matter stay together inside Holmlid's nuclear malstrom? In LeClair's case, the water crystal producing the shock wave only being made up of hydrogen and oxygen would erode in short order under the pressure and forces generated by the collision of the water crystal with the steel substrate at speeds moving at some appreciable factor of light. The protective electromagnetic shield must be favoring the survival of the water crystal over the substance of steel. Even more amazing, the jet formed by the cavitation bubble can vaporize diamond as witnessed by craters formed in that substrate produced by exploding gas. This new concept that LeClair has now generously donated to our growing collection of LENR miracles can be added to our treasure trove. Now known, it now can be joyously placed into my LENR bag of dreams, our toolkit of the future, as a impenetrable shield that protects LENR starships as it passes through stars, planets, and comets at light speed in a warp bubble unaffected and unafraid as if those cosmic obstructions were not even there. To awaken from these dreams and back to our analysis, Holmlid states that is takes weeks of laser irradiation to make Rydberg matter active. He does not see that his concept about only the physical structure of the rydberg matter itself produces Hot Fusion effects is illogical. If only shape and/or the crystals dimensionality causes hot fusion were true, then rydberg matter would produce fusion immediately after the first shot of the laser when Holmlid's reactor started up. Topology never changes no matter how long that you shine a laser on it. Something must be added over time to make Rydberg matter come alive. The laser must pump energy into the Rydberg crystal for weeks to develop that bose condensate EMF based polariton cover that makes the rydberg matter active. And the reaction is LENR and not hot fusion. LeClair gets that power level up on the first shot because of the huge power production potential generated by the cavitation bubble. The polariton soliton must remain connected to the water crystal when it is confined inside the reactor. But the polariton shield can disconnect and uncloak from the water crystal somehow and be able to pass through the walls of the reactor, float free, and exist on its own, sustained on it own energy stores. This free floating soliton might be an instance of dark matter. This Exotic Neutral Particle(ENP) behavior is illustrated when LeClair relates how a clear plastic dish that was stored in a desk drawer under the experiment about a foot away. The steel and wood desktop would have shielded the dish from charged particles, alpha particles and low level radiation. Neutrons would get through the desktop but the weird tracks etched into the plastic look like the tracks produced by the ENP generated in other LENR experiments. We know what neutrons look like when they pit CR-39 particle detection strips. They look like craters, not like long wavy filamentary tracks. LeClair also remarks about the tremendous amounts of magnetic signatures that even the non magnetic material retains after transmutation.(1) At the end of his presentation, LeClair takes a shot at the Lattice theory of LENR. One of his experiments produced fusion with just water. Because of the liquid only environment, he then rejects all theories for LENR that are based on lattice production of LENR effects such as W&L theory. LeClair seems to be of split mind between Hot and Cold nuclear processes in his reaction. Sometimes he says that he is producing hot fusion and sometimes he thinks he is doing LENR. It could be that his process is a combined hot and cold fusion mechanism with LENR providing the tools that make hot fusion possible. 1 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brnx1I4Jyi8 at 1:26:15
