Ed: "..the resulting single body splits into two bodies. These two bodies go off in opposite directions."
Just how close to 'opposite'? Exactly 180 degrees opposite? 180 degs +- sigma? What is sigma in these reactions? -Mark From: Edmund Storms [mailto:stor...@ix.netcom.com] Sent: Friday, January 25, 2013 8:29 AM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Cc: Edmund Storms Subject: Re: [Vo]:Chemonuclear Transitions Yes, they are "forever associated with lattice and geometry defects " but that is not relevant. You need to understand what happens at the site of the nuclear reaction. The site of a hot fusion reaction has two d coming together with enough energy to overcome the Coulomb barrier and cause the two d to fuse. Then the resulting single body splits into two bodies. These two bodies go off in opposite directions while carrying the energy and momentum. This is conventional behavior. For cold fusion to occur, the 2 d must come together without extra energy, but nevertheless overcome the Coulomb barrier. How this process can occur is being debated. Nevertheless, the result is a single He4 with 23.8 MeV of energy. How does this energy get released and communicated to the world as heat, which it does, while conserving momentum? That is the ONLY issue. Ed On Jan 25, 2013, at 9:11 AM, Roarty, Francis X wrote: On Fri Jan 25th Ed Storms said [snip] Cold fusion is a 2-body to 1 body reaction that violates this condition[/snip]. That might be correct from a purely syntax perspective but is an unfair oversimplification, LENR and cold fusion are forever associated with lattice and geometry defects in said lattice - this is a quantum effect /extreme - multibody in the equivalent sense where gas atoms react to changes in nano geometry. There is literature regarding cavity QED that indicates these changes in cavity geometry violate the square law and break the isotropy.

In order to make any progress, a triage must be done by eliminating the ideas that are so improbable or so illogical that they have very little chance of being correct. That is what I'm attempting to do. In any case, several basic rules MUST be considered. Hot fusion is a conventional 2 body-2 body reaction as is required to carry away the energy and momentum. Cold fusion is a 2-body to 1 body reaction that violates this condition. That violation MUST be acknowledged and explained. People are not free to imaginary any thing. Certain rules are known to apply. These rules are so basic that they MUST not be ignored. Ed Storms On Jan 25, 2013, at 8:22 AM, Daniel Rocha wrote: d+d=n+He3 and d+d=t+p What about d+d+...+d=? We don't know. This is what many many particle models ends up being. Theyare hot fusion. The only difference it is that there are many, more than 2>, incoming nuclei to fuse. You cannot do that in experiments using colliders, it is too unlikely. So, you cannot say that cold fusion is any different than hot fusion that easily. 2013/1/25 Edmund Storms <stor...@ix.netcom.com> Yes, people try to explain LENR using the behavior described in the paper. -- Daniel Rocha - RJ danieldi...@gmail.com
