LENR is occurring in SAFIRE

Quote

That electrode vaporized in about 10 seconds.

Yes. 20,000 Amps into a small device without proper cooling tends to do that, says Captain Obvious.

A SAFIRE reactor linked to a muon generator would make a powerful rocket fusion engine.....maybe NASA might think about replicating Holmlid's work?

Shane D. as a beotian like me could you explain what is an Electric Universe ?

In few words what are specificies of this vs current understanding ?

Thanks

Iowa .. hot off the astrophysics news front

In a new study, the researchers confirm Voyager 2's passage on Nov. 5, 2018, into the ISM by noting a definitive jump in plasma density detected by an Iowa-led plasma wave instrument on the spacecraft. The marked increase in plasma density is evidence of Voyager 2 journeying from the hot, lower-density plasma characteristic of the solar wind to the cool, higher-density plasma of interstellar space. It's also similar to the plasma density jump experienced by Voyager 1 when it crossed into interstellar space.

"In a historical sense, the old idea that the solar wind will just be gradually whittled away as you go further into interstellar space is simply not true," says Iowa's Don Gurnett, corresponding author on the study, published in the journal Nature Astronomy. "We show with Voyager 2 -- and previously with Voyager 1 -- that there's a distinct boundary out there. It's just astonishing how fluids, including plasmas, form boundaries."

It might take a while for Gurnett to speak the word Birkeland

Mishinsky and Wisniewski,Didyk have been doing transmutations for the last 8 yrs..in Russia/Poland

They are generally ignored by other scientists,,

Gold has been observed .. but requires palladium/D2

The article is a review of the experimental results obtained by the authors over the past 8 years on the synthesis of chemical elements in gases compressed up to 3 kbar with its long (up to tens of hours) gamma irradiation in the presence of cylindrical samples of metallic palladium

Thus, a dense plasma with a high electron temperature is created in the irradiated volume.

Consequently, the production of "extraneous" elements in the chamber is associated with the creation in its volume of a non-equilibrium dense plasma "

"It is noteworthy that the most impressive experiments are experiments, just with the irradiation of palladium in a condensed deuterium atmosphere. In these experiments, such chemical elements as titanium, silver and lead were synthesized in macroquantities. From scientific literature it is known that cold nuclear fusion reactions are accompanied by transmutation reactions − the transformation of some chemical elements into others. "

This is not relevant or LENR as it is way above hot fusion energy!

True ...10 Mev =116,045,886,000 K

Perhaps that is why there is not much interest in replication by other scientists,

on the other hand the voltages in the SAFIRE fields are at `1000V max

and look to be down at ~100V in glowmode tm 2.05

I too am in the process of viewing the Monty Childs chat you inserted above. Monty is again sharing lots of valuable details/insight that has not, to my knowledge, been previously made public. The chat moves painfully slow and contains a lot of irrelevant BS from others (IMHO) but is well worth listening to by anyone who wants to learn more about SAFIRE (and LENR plasma). For example, regarding the power supply - A DC supply with voltage and current limiting. Adjustable voltage and current limiting are standard features of laboratory DC power supplies. I'm getting back to the idea here about doing a low cost, small scale, table top SAFIRE PHASE I like experiment. I'm wondering if I should be carrying on with my thoughts here or in the SAFIRE, SUNCELL, E-CAT SK: Three reactors, three theories, one common unifying mechanism - the EVO (Exotic Vacuum Object). thread...???

The Mishinsky/Didyk Russian transmutation paper is fascinating, what one might expect high energy gamma radiation exposure to do to H, D or He when condensed by high pressure! On one hand they do not report any excess heat production (maybe because their focus is on transmutation) and yet admit the gamma radiation forms a gas plasma hence reaching very high temperatures (but nothing like the 1000 M degrees predicted by using 10 MeV gammas which would have melted the reactor and the car park next door!) This is a little like Holmlid or Mills' work since they state that their data could not be replicated (or simply hasn't been) by other labs. But maybe this represents an extreme version of what happens during lenr in a SAFIRE reactor - macro-quantities of transmuted elements produced with exposure to high energy gammas over long time periods whereas only micro-quantities are formed in high energy electrical plasmas. Maybe SAFIRE should try pumping in some gammas? More like a realistic solar environment?

Or maybe this research suggests how transmutations occur in SAFIRE? The electrical discharge promotes gamma release from the D/H plasma which then interact to transmute elements and maybe similar effects occur in Mills'/Holmlid's experiments (to a lesser extent). Certainly 100 MeV gammas have been recorded during thunderstorms.

I don;t think there is much gamma release from the SAFIRE reactor.. but I could be wrong..
