MFMP: Titanium/Vanadium Neutron production [safety warning]

AlainCo

The discussion went kind of like this:

• Bob Greenyer mentioned on ECW as a confirmation of what he told about Vanadium and Titanium (and I think also Chromium) a report of a non-LENR person who emailed him that he's had anomalies with Vanadium oxide.
• I wrote here that if Vanadium Oxide works as a confirmation, then other metal oxides should be fine too.
• Speaking of metal-oxides, Bernhard Kotzias of Airbus DS has worked with Leif Holmlid to study and make practical applications around the ultra-dense hydrogen (UDH) concept. Both mostly use treated metal-oxide surfaces. Kotzias seems to be recommending "Titanium Oxide" as the preferred metal oxide catalyst for ultra-dense hydrogen production.
• Kotzias also appears to have expanded the UDH concept quite a bit with his own theory, seemingly based on Casimir cavities and nanoplasmonics. I haven't had the occasion to read it in full detail yet; it's in the documentation of the German patent applications he recently filed. However there are easy to be understood diagrams (see attached images).
• Ahlfors chimed in and linked a possible paper that could be used to create suitable titanium oxide particles. The method is about using a picosecond laser on a titanium target immersed in a liquid (distilled water, but could be an other liquid), and is called laser ablation.
• Other two papers have been linked. One shows how nanometric gaps of controlled size can be produced chemically with colloidal particles of noble metals. "Gigantic electric fields" can be generated within those gaps upon optical irradiation. This paper was referenced by Kotzias in one of the previously mentioned patents.
• The other paper describes the observation of anomalously accelerated alpha decay of an optically irradiated colloidal uranium salt solution of metallic nanoparticles, also here produced by laser ablation at a progressively decreasing laser wavelength. A possible explanation for the results is a very large electric field enhancement near the nanoparticles. Similarity to exploding wire experiments mentioned too. The paper is almost too big for this thread alone.
• The latest paper linked by Ahlfors (which I haven't read yet) also seems about the production of suitable nanoparticles using the laser ablation method with a picosecond laser. Could have been a better citation for Kotzias' patent, apparently.

Problems

1. The laser systems used in these studies aren't something that amateurs can usually afford.
2. The discussion might have steered quite a bit from the originally intended topic.

... "seems about the production of suitable nanoparticles" ... : wrong.

... "seems about the production of suitable [electroplated] nanosurfaces " ... : right.

Incidentally, the scientific papers constrain "technically possible in my basament" is naive - e.g. I feel a "Barnstead Smart2pure" system right for my lab, if any.

Ahlfors

Admittedly, I deferred reading the paper as soon as I read "laser ablation" and "350-ps Nd:YAG laser"; I couldn't have noticed any more about the actual process.

I have little idea on what that water purification system would be actually used for. EDIT: in retrospect, in this context perhaps for this laser ablation process.

Sergio Gutiérrez is a String theorist with a good idea. He wants to build new particles with Bose Condensates to test for extra dimensions as required by string theory doctrine. There a 11 dimensions in string theory. A Bose condensate produces a particle that is N times more massive than the individual particles that make up the condensate. But this idea is also a great way to produce grand unification of the fundamental forces by pumping energy into those extra dimensions. Rather than pumping huge amounts of energy into a single particle, a Bose condinsate can store that energy across many particles but still act like a single particle.

In this case, the coupling constants of the strong and electroweak interactions meet at the grand unification energy, also known as the GUT scale:

.

In my opinion by using a Bose condensate, Sergio Gutiérrez is on the correct road to Grand unification but he must utilize the polariton rather than atoms to form the Bose condensate. The non-equilibrium room temperature Bose-Einstein condensates is the tool that he must use in order to get to where he wants to go.

Does the BEC argument imply that we would "see" the extra-dimensions of string theory in our daily life? Answer: YES. We can see the results of accessing these extra dimensions from the changes they produce in the fundamental forces.

In the grand unification theory (GUT) proposed by Howard Georgi and Sheldon Glashow in 1974, the road to grand unification took the wrong road by assuming that the fundamental forces of nature could come together when a single particle could be pumped with the huge amounts of energy required to expose the unification of the fundamental forces.

But the correct road to grand unification of forces is found in condensed matter physics, quasiparticles, and through Bose condensation of many of these particles. The condensate acts like a single particle but the energy that the condensate assumes and can store is the sum of all the energy of all the members of the condensate.

Unlike the conditions that exist in ultra-cold atomic BECs, the Bose condensation produced by polaritons has the proper temperature, particle mass, energy, and aggregation numbers to access and expose the extra dimensions that are not usually accessible to ordinary reality. What we see in that polariton condensate is how the universe functioned during the first few seconds at the beginning of the universe before the universe cooled where every particle in that infant universe had huge energies.

This condition can be seen today in selected polariton base BEC experiments that show the increased activity of the weak force in stabilizing radioactive isotopes.

This process has been patented by the US Navy and is available for licensed development.

This patent means that the process of stabilizing radioactive isotopes described therein absolutely works as certified by the US patent office.

A very pure and direct polariton based nanoplasmonic experiment using light pumped nanoparticles that enables us to see the change in how the weak force works as it ascends the energy level scale to unification is referenced here.

And in a summation bringing in LENR involved in this subject for you as follows:

A polariton is a special quasiparticle. It is an electron that has most of its mass and charge removed. It can only exist when it is generated by a nanoparticle or a pit or bump in the surface of a metal. Unlike an electron, the polariton is a boson; that means that it can form a Bose condensate where a aggregation of electrons cannot. From this boson nature of the Polariton comes all the miracles of the LENR reaction.

This is a picture of polariton formation in pits and bumps in a metal.

As a special case, metallic hydrogen is a nanowire that produces the LENR reaction without plasma forming. This includes other hydrogen based metalized compounds like water.

But when plasma is used to produce the LENR reaction, because the polariton needs is a nanoparticle to exist, it is passively critical. When that nanoparticle vaporizes, the polariton dies. So a dirty plasma that is passively maintained at the vaporization point of a given metal will produce many self-sustaining forms of energy including heat, light. XUV. X-rays, gamma, pressure from fast particle generated shock waves, electrons and various other types of subatomic particles.

To sum up, the Bose condensate modifies the weak force so that the energy of excitation that comes from nuclear reactions that usually generate neutrons and other radiation is stored in the condensate and not released to the far field.

But if the Bose condensate is not well formed or very weak, then neutrons and other radiation is produced by the LENR reaction.
