Jones and Dave--
I think you two are saying the same thing--that the magnetic flux in the Mu
Metal is high and the flux outside is low. This I would call a high B
(magnetic) field (classical notation) within the Mu Metal.
It is my understanding the B field it is primarily the result of alignment
of the spin orbital magnetic moments of electrons in the metal lattice.
However, this strong B field also affects the nuclear magnetic moments and
the magnetic moment of hydrogen in the lattice. These effect may result
in the spin coupling of the various spin components of all particles in the
lattice. Resonant frequencies may also be important in exciting and
fractioning small energy packets among the various particles via this
coupling.
There may be some time constant associated with the metal lattice associated
with creation and decay of the B field as a function of the driving external
H field. You may call this a hysteresis of the B field. I think such a
oscillating B field would add energy to the lattice in the form of heat
increasing as the electrons or first aligned and then jumbled back into
disorder as the field decreases.
The paper I referred in my last message I think indicates how a hydrogen
nucleus or a complex nucleus might be made more susceptible to spin coupling
in an increasing magnetic B field. This may be the same effect as extending
the spin orbit force that Frank was describing recently.
Frank may want to comment.

From: David Roberson
Bob,
Mu Metal is quite often used in shielding applications. The
best description that I recall is that it soaks up the stray magnetic flux
passing near a closed region due to it large permeability. It makes sense
if you consider the total magnetic flux passing through a volume as
approximately constant but can be redirected. The Mu Metal is able to
perform the redirection function very well.
Essentially Mu Metal "internalizes" magnetic flux, static or changing. In
so
doing, it heats up in the same way as a soft iron core of a transformer.
Almost no flux passes through. Plus the Curie point of Mu Metal is higher
than pure nickel and it is an order of magnitude more sensitive to flux
than
soft iron (which is permeability).
A cabinet which is covered in Mu Metal foil has zero field inside - from
earth or anywhere else. No flux lines from a transformer placed on top of
that cabinet would not be felt inside. The reverse is also true.
If the LENR reaction, at any stage, involves hydrogen flipping rapidly
from
ortho to para alignment (THz) then that spin energy should be converted to
heat by Mu Metal foil as both the electrode and flux sink.
Frank Z yesterday states that nuclear spin orbit forces (or the magnetic
moment of free electrons) are not conserved. This is something which I had
not considered before, but if true, then this is another possibility for
gain in LENR which is independent of a nuclear reaction.
Note: the tritium reaction which occurs with deuterium (Claytor) could be
the result of heat having been extracted instead of the cause of that
heat.
Thus, it could be possible to avoid that condition with hydrogen.
