Jones--
I’m not sure you saw the original item from the comments on the Kim DDL theory rejection. It predates the slide show you discussed recently. It has an interesting mechanism that may allow the fusion reaction of D and or H to proceed via production of energetic electrons that are able to get to lower energy levels associated with the DDL of most any atom. Note the idea that the H nuclei have a certain repulsion radius that is influenced by the local magnetic field. Va’vra etal were on to the dark matter issue early on. One of the authors is from your neck of the woods--San Jose. This item can be obtained from this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8mt4mJOTGvBSmxZMURONUlCaGc/edit?usp=sharing Bob Cook Sent from Windows Mail From: Jones Beene Sent: Sunday, August 17, 2014 6:40 PM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com From: Harry Veeder On pages 60-61 Va'vra considers the consequences if DDL atoms exist: ___________________________________________________ 1. DDL transition energies are 300-500 keV. If this is real, it may be a substantial energy source. This is where this earlier work differs from Naudts. Va’vra looks more like Mills wrt many different levels. Naudts has only the single deep level, and it is that single level at 3.7 keV which matches the recently discovered emission line of dark matter (when red-shifted down to ~3.5 keV) 2. DDL atoms, such as the DDL hydrogen, could be responsible for a missing dark matter. AFAIK – this is the first mention of this connection of the DDL state to dark matter. If it proves out – is this discovery not of Nobel Prize caliber, especially if it helps explain LENR? Well, probably not, since Va’ vra did not close the deal by emphasizing the correct value. Jones
