Speaking of high transition temperature in palladium hydride ... in the
context of LENR, check out the summary of this patent where the inventor
claims to have witnessed HTSC near ambient: "Samples have been produced
having critical temperatures of 51.6K ... 100K, and 272.5K."
https://www.google.com/patents/US7033568
Yet, that claim creates an interesting situation. Since thermal gain of
LENR would quell the HTSC effect - is there any way to use both to benefit
assuming the lattice must not exceed 272K, for instance?
I think there is a prime application for this scenario, aside from arctic
hand warmers...but I will save it for another time... It appears that the
patent above went nowhere for Paolo

Hi Mark,
Your quotes from the citation brings to mind the mystery connection to
HTSC (high temperature superconductivity).
Since the early days there was thought to be some kind of vague and
undefined connection between LENR and HTSC. This is due primarily to the
fact that palladium hydride is superconductive but palladium isn't. The
quote you mentioned adds an explanation in the form of lattice
vibrations. The problem is the transition temperature.
BTW - for those who are not aware of the history of this - Brian Ahern
(who was a USAF researcher at the time, specializing in SC)
independently discovered Pd-H superconductivity many years ago - only to
find that it had already been reported by someone else (and patented).
It is still ignored as a factor for gain in "cold fusion" due to the
aforementioned problem of transition temperature. This is probably one
of the details that got Brian hooked on LENR - even before P&F and he
also discovered that an alloy of nickel and palladium performs much
better than palladium alone for excess heat.
For the heck of it, I did a quicky search to see if "nickel hydride" has
ever been reported with SC properties. This begs to be part of the
LENR-CANR library even if the rationale between LENR and HTSC is foggy.
As it turns out - W-L also picked up on the cross-connection and found
the same citation I found:
Superconductivity in the palladium-hydrogen and
palladium-nickel-hydrogen systems

The paper is a poor scan, I am trying to find a digital version. This is
almost 45 years old ! Why is it seldom mentioned?
This is a fine blog article from EM Smith on the situation (which I had
read but forgot), It is worth a reread.

Vorts,
Haven’t had time to do much sci-surfing in 2016, but as is quite
common in my life, when I get a nagging feeling to do it, I come
across stuff that could be very significant…
Happened to go to physorg.com today when eating lunch at work and
came across this article:
“Laser pulses help scientists tease apart complex electron
interactions”
http://phys.org/news/2016-12-laser-pulses-scientists-complex-electron.html
Title doesn’t really sound all that breakthrough, but for some
reason I clicked on it and came across what could be the mechanism
of action in LENR reactions which gently sheds the energy to the
lattice instead of ejecting high-energy particles, i.e., the
‘expected’ mechanism. To quote the article:
“But they also discovered another, unexpected signal-which they
say represents a distinct form of extremely efficient energy loss at
a particular energy level and timescale between the other two.
"We see a very strong and peculiar interaction between the
excited electrons and the lattice where the electrons are
losing most of their energy very rapidly in a coherent,
non-random way," Rameau said. At this special energy level, he
explained, the electrons appear to be interacting with lattice
atoms all vibrating at a particular frequency-like a tuning fork
emitting a single note. When all of the electrons
that have the energy required for this unique interaction have
given up most of their energy, they start to cool down more slowly
by hitting atoms more randomly without striking the "resonant"
frequency, he said.
"We know now that this interaction doesn't just switch on when
the material becomes a superconductor; it's actually
always there,"
Although electron-based and not nucleus-based, it still makes me
wonder if this is one step in a multi-step process of energy
transfer… nucleus to electrons to lattice.
It is in a very narrow energy range, and is obviously some kind of
resonance (coherent) condition… which also explains why it’s so hard
to reproduce. Wonder if the narrow energy kink is anywhere close to
FrankZ’s 1.094Mhz-meter?
BTW, the research also used a setup which I’ve been ranting about
for years… the electron stroboscope.
"By varying the time between the 'pump' and 'probe' laser
pulses we can build up a stroboscopic record of what happens -
a movie of what this material looks like from rest through the
violent interaction to how it settles back down,"
Merry Christmas to All,
