A better alternative to LENR

I have oftentimes expressed for the record that LENR is a flawed overunity technology in that it is at its very root based on nuclear processes. These processes produce a zoo of subatomic particle production reactions which will turn out to be problematic in getting LENR into unregulated and widespread common useage.

This unregulated and widespread common useage of the LENR reaction seems to be the dream and objective of all LENR developers. At the end of the day, I doubt that this dream will come to pass.

Both Rossi and IH will be heartsick when they realize that they will need to dance to the tune of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the electric utility industry, all their best efforts and monumental investments will have come to naught.

On the other hand, the impact on science will be great when LENR theory is well understood and this new found understanding will drive science in new and revolutionary directions far and away in importance to any significance that LENR based energy production will catalyze. But the research of Holmlid will capture most of those scientific discoveries more readily than any LENR based reactor will. This leads me to a long considered opinion that the researcher and replicator should stay away from LENR and direct their system's development energies in other directions which will more readily meet the aspirational goals of overunity energy production, such as simple, uncomplicated, direct, home based, unregulated and widespread common useage.

The thrust of this thread going forward will be devoted to describing a system designed to more properly meet overunity aspirational development goals commonly held by the overunity community.

Regarding: problem of acceptance...

The problem of acceptance will be greatly exacerbated when the LENR user realizes that more mesons, pions, and muons are being generated in his basement in a day than CERN can generate in a month.

Quote from ZenoOfElea

Good idea, lets ditch LENR and focus on one of the many other clean, overunity energy technologies.

Just remind me again what they are?

Answering that question is the purpose of this tread so check back latter.

I am of the opinion that the delays in the release of gainful LENR systems by Rossi and ME356 are the result of the efforts on the part of these inventors to make their reactor designs safe, reliable, and impervious to misapplication.

The ideal overunity energy system should produce electrical power without the need to convert heat to electrical current. A solar cell without the need for sunlight would fit the bill nicely. No possibility of nuclear interaction is an ideal system's operational principle. Such systems have been developed and are real but the inventors have died before their work could be commercialized. A prime system's engineering principle is to have as many eggs in your basket as possible in the event that some eggs may go bad.

Describing the Manelas Phenomenon

As an introduction to this type of system, Dr. Brian Ahern describes how he came to know the Manelas device.

Inspired by Dr. Brian Ahern's absolute assurance that these types of systems is real, I have developed a theory of operation which I will develop in this thread. It is all fascinating.

The Brian Ahern's tale begins at 10:50 and ends at 25:30 in this MFMP video:

At the end of my EPRI study I discussed adding high voltage pulses through the nanopowders to enhance energy output. I burned out the power supply and I was introduced to Arthur Manelas (Pelham NH) to fix the supply as he was an expert on high voltage pulsed power. He showed me a device that seemingly violated the First Law of Thermodynamics. He had an electric car powering itself with a supply based on Tesla and Floyd Sweet.

I and two other talented engineers set out to make independent measurements of the performance. We found a large ferrite billet (1" x 4" x 6") weighing one kilogram. The billet was highly insulating. It was also ferromagnetic with unusual field characteristics.

The billet was wound around each of its 3 axises with about 150 feet of magnet wire. High voltage pulses were sent in through two windings and power was extracted from the third winding to charge the battery pack of the car. We found an excess electrical power out put of 60 watts for the 6 days of the test. During this period the billet ran 5 degrees C below ambient.

This is the first report of any transformer showing a Negative Hysterisis. This has caused us tobelieve that LENR has magnetism at it core.

Arthur Manelas took the device apart to rebuild two new ones.In the interim he suffered a stroke and died without leaving a circuit diagram or notes on the operation. I remain baffled by the operation in 2011-2012 period and believe that the excess comes from a new magnetic interaction

We measured Battery voltage continuously for a week while the power supply developed an excess 30 watts with a 100 watt loss in the system components. Arthur had the unit running for nearly 2 years when I showed up.

I was the first one to make rigorous measurements that seemed to confirm an energy gain. There are many ways to dispute that measurement, but the HOBO thermistor measurements were revolutionary. Four thermistors were mounted around the trunk with one of them mounted on top of the ferrite billet.

To our great surprise that thermistor ran 5-7 degrees COLDER than ambient for the entire week.I do not understand any of the thermodynamic mechanisms, but heat must have been flowing in an unaccustomed manner.

I expected that I would have many years to learn the approach needed to optimize this heat flow. Arthur contacted me on September 23, 2015 and told me he was turning it over to me and my band oftechnologists. He had a major Aneuryzm on September 25, 2015 and never recovered.

I have his equipment and I am seeking help from LENR folks to figure it out.

Vacuum Triode Amplifier theory

Magnons are boson spin based quasiparticles that can form a bose condinsate at a critical point (QCP means quantum critical point). A quantum tuning parameter can be applied to force a population of magnons to oscillate between coherent and disordered states. This coherent state means magnon superconductivity,

The quantum turning parameter (QTP) might be a small magnetic field that when applied flips the magnon state between random and coherent flow. If the QTP is set right on the boundary between the green zone and the quantum disordered zone than a large amount of spin flipping might be produced by a very small movement of the QTP. When atomic spins flip, a magnetic field is produced that can drive an electric current. A large electric current can be caused by a very small change in the QTP.

This is how a power amplifying vacuum tube (triode) works where a small field applied to the grid can cause a large current flow between the anode and the cathode.

This is why Floyd SWEET called his invention the Vacuum Triode Amplifier

Sweet uses a "grid" current of just a few microwatts to produce 500 watts of electrical power output. The spin vibrations come from heat energy and quantum based spin fluctuations. This is why Sweet said that the Vacuum Triode Amplifier amplified quantum energy.

The key to building the Vacuum Triode Amplifier is to find the critical quantum tuning parameter value. The more precise that this value is the higher gain that the Vacuum Triode Amplifier can be achieved. Sweet got the gain(COP) up into the millions.

Barium Ferrite is wonderful stuff. First, it is both a topological insulator, and an electrical insulator which tightly locks in the atomic magnetic dipole induced magnetic domain where electron flow is non existent and does not weaken the magnetic domain through electron band filling.

The key to all this is unpaired electrons. A quantum mechanical property called spin gives every electron a magnetic field. Electrons like to pair up is a way that negates their spin. You can think of each one as a tiny bar magnet with the usual north and south poles. Generally, electrons come in pairs. And when you pair up two electrons, their magnetic fields (sort of ) cancel each other out. The orbital containing the pair becomes magnetically the same from all directions. Electron pairing is not good for us.

But in some systems, electrons must go unpaired, leading to interesting magnetic properties. When you put an magnetocaloric (MC) material into an external magnetic field, the dipoles associated with the unpaired electrons tend to align with the field and - importantly - the temperature of the material increases. Why does the temperature increase? The magnetic field forces the spins into a thermodynamically lower energy state, and the result of this is that thermal energy - heat - is expelled. When you take the material out of the field it cools down. Thermal energy is absorbed by the system to return the dipoles to a more disordered state. A good example of an MC material is gadolinium, which has seven unpaired electrons in its 4f orbitals, giving it an enormous magnetic moment.

Scientists have known about the effect for decades. It was first described in 1881 by German physicist Emil Warburg, who noted that the temperature of a sample of iron increased when he put it into a magnetic field. And it wasn’t long before engineers were thinking about how it might be harnessed to create a heat pump, a device that shifts heat from one place to another against the gradient.

Barium Ferrite does not allow electron flow to degrade these unpaired electron orbitals. Strontium ferrite is not a topological insulator but it is still as good an electrical insulator as barium ferrite. Strontium ferrite allows a limited number of electrons to flow which weakens the MC effect and the generation of magnon coherence. Strontium ferrite will do the job but not a good a job as Barium Ferrite, the job being "producing magnon coherence".

Both types of these ferrets can be made magnetically anisotropic. Anisotropic magnetism is a requirement for magnetic triode success. Ferrite magnets may be isotropic or anisotropic. In anisotropic qualities, during the pressing process, a magnetic field is applied. This process lines up the particles in one direction, obtaining better magnetic features. Through sintering, (thermal processing at high temperatures), pieces in their definite shape and solidity are obtained,

Barium ferrite does not conduct electricity. It also has a characteristic known as perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA). This situation originates from the inherent magneto-crystalline anisotropy of the insulator and not the interfacial anisotropy in other situations. As a Mott insulator, it possesses strong spin orbit coupling. This characteristic produces a log jam of electrons that stops current from flowing. We don't want any electrons to move.

A wet pressed process where magnetic particles can move when placed in a magnetic field makes for the strongest magnets before sintering with high heat can make that magnetic ordering permanent.

Floyd Sweet has reported that when the Vacuum Triode Amplifier is in operation, it loses weight. The reason for this may be due to the thermodynamically based Adiabatic reaction force produced when a coherent system oscillates repeatedly through disorder. This process in the EMDrive may produce a reaction force as microwaves create and destroy coherence in the vacuum thus producing negative vacuum energy.



The magnons inside of a ferrite magnet could mimic the virtual particles in the vacuum but be far more concentrated and forceful. As the magnons oscillate through thermodynamic coherence a negative vacuum energy state might be created inside the magnet and a resultant Adiabatic reaction force produced orthogonal to the surface of the magnet. I would dearly want to build one of these vacuum triodes to see if I could get my car to float down the street. That might be something that could turn heads.



Here is a lecture that explains how a thermodynamically based Adiabatic reaction force is produced.

Here is a video that shows how the Barium ferrite magnet is prepared. Starting at 4:20,there is a section of this video showing that the surface of the barium ferrite magnet is NOT conductive on its surface (2d topological insulator) but the strontium ferrite magnet is conductive.
