Dear Mr Storms, Does Kozima laws inspire you something?
(I've naively commented http://www.lenr-forum.com/showthread.php?244-Theory-Kozima-3-Laws-in-the-CF-Phenomenon&highlight=kozima) kozima article <http://www.geocities.jp/hjrfq930/Papers/paperr/paperr31.pdf>(extended version <http://www.geocities.jp/hjrfq930/Papers/paperr/paperr15.pdf>) do you identify interesting points, and weakess ? the approach seems similar to what you propose... *Abstract* > There have been discovered three empirical laws in the CFP; > (1) The First Law: the stability effect for nuclear transmutation > products, > (2) the Second Law; the inverse power dependence of the frequency on the > intensity of the excess heat production, and > (3) the Third Law: bifurcation of the intensity of events (neutron > emission and excess heat production) in time. There are two corollaries of > the first law: > Corollary 1-1: Production of a nuclide A’Z+1X’ from a nuclide AZX in the > system. > Corollary 1-2: Decay time shortening of unstable nuclei in the system. > These laws and the necessary conditions for the CFP tell us that the cold > fusion phenomenon is a phenomenon belonging to complexity induced by > nonlinear interactions between agents in the open and nonequilibrium CF > systems as far as we assume a common cause for various events in the CFP, > i.e. excess heat production, neutron emission, and nuclear transmutation. > The characteristics of the CF materials for the CFP are investigated using > our knowledge of the microscopic structure of the CF materials consulting > to the complexity in relation to the three laws explained above. > A computer simulation is proposed to reproduce an essential feature of the > CFP using a simplified model system (a super-lattice) composed of two > interlaced sublattices; one sublattice of host nuclei with extended neutron > wavefunctions and another of proton/deuterons with non-localized > wavefunctions. 2013/2/19 Edmund Storms <stor...@ix.netcom.com> > > On Feb 19, 2013, at 2:08 PM, Edmund Storms wrote: > > A search for an explanation of LENR can take one of three basic paths. >> People can nit-pick about the mechanism, they can suggest any idea that >> comes to mind regardless of justification, or they can look for the overall >> patterns that must be explained.
