Hi Richard, Bismuth has many unusual properties which should be investigated for alternative energy potential - but this concept is looking specifically for bosons -- and bismuth doesn't suit the bill for that. Bosons are energy carriers, and they couple to other bosons in a direct coherent way, since they have the same integer spin, which could be important for gainfulness ... or not.
Actually there are only a few light elements which could ever even be remotely subject to becoming a condensate (quasi-BEC) and perhaps lithium is the only one which is a liquid in a range of temperatures that allows its own surface tension to form nanoparticles of a size range which can bind to a Frenkel electron, for instance, and develop a very strong self-field. Actually buckyballs (C-60) which can also be considered as large unit bosons and which can do this [I think that C-60 is how the Frenekel exciton was discovered]; but yet this unit is apparently too large to show the special BEC spatial property -- which would possibly result in a net gain after further processing, and/or nuclear tunneling to show LENR effects. Admittedly, this is new territory and there is maybe a chance in a zillion that lithium has such an active bosonic unit (either a pair of atoms or more) - but - it could be worth a try to find out. The pair of lithium-6 atoms, if that is the most useful boson which can be found - might be amenable to a QM tunneling reaction to form carbon and give up about 30 MeV per atom in the process - but that is an even more remote possibility-- and even worse, if the excess energy turned out to be in the form of a neutrino, it would not be usable. Jones ----- Original Message ---- From: R C Macaulay <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Howdy Jones, Let's not stop too quick in conceptualizing fizzix-meshugga exploration of Lithium... consider the opposite of Lithium in the periodic table.. hmmm. can't be done one may say.. but by viewing the atomic weights as describing a spiral.. shazzamm.. what would be the element opposite to Lithium? We often refer to color as having opposites..they are not, colors are described by a prism which is spiral in it's mathematics, and I, personally , hear and visualize sound in a spiral configuration (rather than circular like a pebble dropping in water creates a circular ripple). Back to the primoral vortex.. it keeps peeking it's conical head into science.. ( pointy heads wouldn't understand) Waiting with baited anticipation for this subject to "sorta" spill over to include Bismuth... she's female . you know..the ancients knew!
