NASA: New Paper about Experimental Progress

  • Ok so according to your theory the proton charge wave decays into stable electrons?


    Charge is a topological effect of magnetism. The prime muon that is formed from protons is the u+ and has the same charge as the proton. The u- contains two negative charge masses one that compensates the electron charge and the other is the one you see after the decay.

    The particle classification of SM is bare nonsense if you once understand how mass and charge is formed. The miss understanding of this idea that the muon is a heavy electron did lead to a wrong 4-He charge radius and to a very good proton charge radius. Because the muon is a three rotation particle it can ideally match the proton but 4-He is a 4 rotation only mass and the waves are not conform. The electron is far better coupling as it does 2 rotations.

  • Its really sad to see that a LENR paper needs to employ classic hot fusion terms and theories just to be accepted and published in a Physics Journal, and by doing that loses most of the meaning and practical implicances.


    I often wonder about to what extent this is true however. If a research group is thinking and/or observing something but writes something else in the papers, that's just dishonest reporting in my opinion.

  • English text from Poland - transmutations et alia - from NASA team literature


    In the 2005, Didyk from the Join Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna was visited

    the National Centre for Nuclear Research (Otwock-Świerk, Poland). He was introduced to

    high pressure method for hydrides synthesis by author, and close cooperation between

    them was born. In their first experiment they have placed the Pd samples into the gaseous

    deuterium in increased pressure (3–5 kbar), and exposed this setup to gamma radiation, in

    order to significantly increase the content of deuterium in palladium (D/Pd > 1) by deuterium

    atomization and the call to other possible phenomena accompanying referred to the radiation.

    The electron accelerator Microtron MT-25 in the Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions JINR

    in Dubna, was used as the gamma radiation source. Intense braking radiation (using tungsten

    target, thickness 2.5 mm) with electron current 10–24 μA), long exposure times (E5s) was

    applied to the setup resulted in the transformation which one of the effects was creation in

    macro-scale objects (element composition). After this, unexpected results, experiments were

    continued.


    ..............................................................................................


    In order to validate our results a number of additional experiments were conducted:


    (A) the main investigation element—palladium sample—was subjected to operation of pure

    deuterium gas at a pressure of approximately 20 kbar over a period of several months. After

    dismounting, no changes resembling result received after irradiation of the similar setup, in

    the object itself or chamber were found. The currently known classic effects (volume change,

    resistance, etc.) associated with the process of saturation Palladium by deuterium gas under

    pressure was tested by the author much earlier.

    (B) Irradiation of the sample of palladium, without presence of high-pressure gas did not

    resulted in any changes on the surface of the sample (typical radiation effects such as

    structural defects were not taken into account).

    (C) High-pressure chamber, with the sample of palladium, and average vacuum after irradiation

    did not show any of our research typical effects.

    (D) At lowered deuterium pressure up to60 bar, irradiation time 1.3E5s, electron current

    1.1E with typical Pd specimen (purity of 99.997%) no effect was observed either.


    In authors opinion, farther studies of presented results and proposed interpretation, should

    result in new specific methodology of basic investigation, and new technology in the future.

    Since, known classic nuclear effects and theories (and possible physical-chemical processes)

    are fundamental for interpretation of observed phenomena by author and his co-operators but

    others new ideas are desirable. Why so relatively small pressure (1000 bar) of gases play so

    essential role? Does this “trigger” pressure value differs for different gases?

    • Official Post

    Still dishonest.

    I think that is more desperate and humiliating than dishonest, but I don’t like it one bit.


    Reporting of experimental observations without a supporting theoretical frame, or at least an hypothesis, seems to be anathema nowadays and its a dreaded thing. A few days ago I posted in another thread a 1927 letter to “Nature” that was a mere experimental report of transmutation, a true genuine report of an unexpected observation, that you could see the author was struggling to be sure he was not fooling himself and trying to reproduce and also to understand. This kind of publications, it seems, is no longer possible.

    Holmlid has been able to keep publishing because he had a good reputation and also has been able to produce an hypothesis for explaining his work, even if few accept that hypothesis. Only one of his papers has been retracted by the publisher.


    Cardone et al also have been able to publish for a long time because they started analyzing cosmic phenomena and from there they developed a theoretical frame from Einstein’s relativity that, in their own words, allowed them to predict a series of phenomena that should express under certain conditions being one of those conditions the cavitation bubbles. I think they have only been able to publish their controversial experiments due to their theoretical framework derived from mainstream ideas.

    "Nuclear fusion reactions in deuterated metals"

    https://journals.aps.org/prc/a…15597a86203c464d727b8de5b


    United States Patent Application 20200051701 February 13, 2020

    "METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR FACILITATING LOCALIZED NUCLEAR FUSION REACTIONS ENHANCED BY ELECTRON SCREENING"

    Abstract

    Methods and apparatuses for facilitating localized nuclear fusion reactions in a globally cold deeply screened fuel source are disclosed, where the volume of cold fuel is much larger than that of hot fuel participating in fission reactions, maintaining structural integrity. Such a deeply screened environment may facilitate the combination of shell and conduction electrons and plasma channels created from external x-ray and/or gamma irradiation. Deeply screened fuel nuclei can tunnel at lower energies, and can much more effectively scatter at high angles, leading to increased tunneling probabilities. Local "hot" fusion conditions may be created by providing neutral hot particles (e.g., hot neutrons) that are substantially more effective at high angle scattering off charged fuel nuclei and can deliver around a half of their kinetic energy in one collision to result in a hot fuel nucleus. Such methods and apparatuses may have various applications, such as heat or medical isotope production.

    Described as "locally hot but globally cold nuclear fusion"

  • There is a lot of talk about electron screening to increase Lenr. In this patent, it's used to increase hot fusion.

    In a crystal lattice, we always imagine electrons speed as harmonious without too much speed variation.

    However, this is not the case, it varies greatly but locally.

    This happens in voids, cracks, and especially amorphous metal.

    This explains well Japanese powder's results which has an amorphous core.

    So in very specific locations some electrons slow down and just near others accelerate, we can imagine the local impact on magnetism.

    It's not enough, both it's also necessary that H/D reach these locations.

    We understand better P&F experiments high loading need because a maximum of H/D must reach these locations.

    It should be understood that not all locations have sufficient amplitude.

    This is related, how to say ? with presence or absence of local superconducting behavior from some electrons.

    Classical electrons having a trajectory like an "8" while those superconductive move like a coil.

    Strong electronic speed fluctuations meet at interface between these 2 states, these 2 types of trajectories.

  • Or in other words we need to include a lump of plutonium in our cold fusion reactors to generate sufficient neutrons and gamma radiation to enable a significantly high rate of reaction? Electron screening alone simply doesn't overcome the C-barrier we have to beam in high energy electrons, neutrons, gamma or deuterons to do what, generate a few watts of excess heat? That will still consume more power than it produces. Another solution would be to build another ITER out of palladium or titanium maybe around a fission reactor to provide extra neutrons?:)
