Edmund Storms: How basic behavior of LENR can guide a search for an explanation

  • Every time I see that purple and yellow hydrogen-palladium depiction that Axil likes to post every now and then, I see many repeated patterns, blocks of same image. (Sort of reminds me of the infamous Parkhomov graph). I wonder why they felt it needed to be made so big?

  • Axil.


    Please explain the sentence above. If communication is going to be meaningful we must agree on the definition of terms.


    No, I do not believe that Holmlid sees strange particles. But, on the other hand, he probably does... :P

    A gamma ray produced by a nuclear reaction can be chopped up into smaller pieces and distributed among many (N) absorbers.


    In a bose condinsate, the ensemble of its members each take a piece of the gamma ray and store it. The condinsate acts like a super colony of ants with each ant taking a small chunk of a big lollipop until the lollipop is all gone.

  • Nonsense! I have one of these mint and boxed; 'rydberg blockade quantum mechanical template'.

    Blockade interactions whereby a single particle prevents the flow or excitation of other particles provide a mechanism for control of quantum states, including entanglement of two or more particles. Blockade has been observed for electrons1, 2, 3, photons4and cold atoms5. Furthermore, dipolar interactions between highly excited atoms have been proposed as a mechanism for 'Rydberg blockade'6, 7, which might provide a novel approach to a number of quantum protocols8, 9, 10, 11. Dipolar interactions between Rydberg atoms were observed several decades ago12 and have been studied recently in a many-body regime using cold atoms13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18. However, to harness Rydberg blockade for controlled quantum dynamics, it is necessary to achieve strong interactions between single pairs of atoms. Here, we demonstrate that a single Rydberg-excited rubidium atom blocks excitation of a second atom located more than 10 m away. The observed probability of double excitation is less than 20%, consistent with a theoretical model of the Rydberg interaction augmented by Monte Carlo simulations that account for experimental imperfections.


    A potassium cluster of atoms can pass its excitation level on to a lithium cluster where the lithium does not need to get its rydberg excitation started from scratch. The lithium starts off from where the potassium left off.

    "A gamma ray produced by a nuclear reaction can be chopped up into smaller pieces and distributed among many (N) absorbers."
    What is your evidence that this is relevant for LENR?


    "In a bose condinsate, the ensemble of its members each take a piece of the gamma ray and store it. The condinsate acts like a super colony of ants with each ant taking a small chunk of a big lollipop until the lollipop is all gone."
    Very nice analogy, but Bose condensate is for low temperature physics. LENR is not THAT low temperature.


    And, what about the black hole? Where did that go?

  • The concept of "Dual" in Physics is very important. Two things that look completely dissimilar can act completely the same in their own context. A particle can act like a ball or a wave based on the context. The electron has particle/wave duality.


    Black holes and superconductors are dual. Black holes and superconductors act the same in their own context. A Bose condinsate is a superconductor. Black Hole dualism means that a Bose condinsate can act like a black hole and do what Black holes do in their own context.

  • I don't think Axil has looked much at practical quantum computing, or he'd realise quite how difficult it is to prevent decoherence in large quantum systems. And those run at very near absolute zero...


    I don't think Thomas Clarke has looked much at practical nanoplasmonics describing Surface Plasmon Polaritons, or he'd realise how easy it is to establish coherence in large quantum systems. And those run at very near the temperature of the sun.

    At last I have read cautiously the article.
    There is much more than in the book, and in the previous article.


    One section is about how the energy could be dissipated.


    One possibility is eliminated, the phonon.
    One possibility is X-ray/Gamma with bounds on energy...
    A new possibility is by electrons. there is bound on the energy, but he compute that a current should appears, whoch should created magnetism too. I made connection with Rossi claims.


    He makes statement that his theory may take mechanism in many other theories, to explain the energy dissipation mechanism, the quantum coherent... Hagelstein, Kim, Dubinko, Vysotskii, and many other are cited.


    Having heard the justified critics of many theorist about his final proposal, I am convinced there is a missing detail to add, a conclusion too far to correct, but that there is many keys included.


    There are discussion on the metallurgy, and Like him I am convinced that we need , not physicists, not electrochemist, not chemist, but metallurgist.


    I cannot make a summary, but sure people should read it, even to criticise the final proposal, and the reasoning.

  • IMO the basic principle of LENR (including this one of LeClair and Holmlid) are low-dimensional collisions: the long lines of multiple atom nuclei collide at the same moment (Gaussian gun, Astroblaster toy effect). The compact line of atom nuclei would enable also the tunneling and another more esoteric quantum effects between them, but its basis is merely classical physics. https://www.reddit.com/r/Physi…ntional_source_of/cl8nnf8
