Here is my latest theory on the operation of the QX.

A fast, sudden pulse of sufficient rise time of sufficient current/voltage produces a "fireball" (plasmoid, spheromak, etc) as the "negative resistance zone" is arrived at; however, it is the production of the plasma ball according to papers online that allows for the negative resistance phenomenon to take place. Apparently, the double layer on the surface functions as a source of ions.

Nearly simultaneously, the plasma ball which is allowing the negative resistance effect to take place starts to oscillate and exchange energy and matter with the overall plasma. It's existence is literally fed by the heat in the plasma.

Also, during this time, the very nature of this plasmoid is inducing nuclear reactions. Perhaps, it is due to the double layer surface of the plasmoid which contains postive ions on the interior and negative ions (electrons) on the exterior.

The plasmoid uses some of this anomalous nuclear heat to sustain itself and produce more oscillations which consist of current flowing through the plasma. This current produces both heat and light.

The main factors required to make these devices function is to provide the most optimal elements for nuclear reactions to take place.

Hydrogen and Argon is probably adequate to produce the effect. However, the addition of lithium and perhaps tiny quantities of platinum emitted during the sputtering of the cathode produces an optimum fuel source.

By using a magnetic mirror effect, perhaps with permanent magnets behind the cathode and anodes, you can trap the plasmoid in the center of the tube so that cathode erosion does not take place.

In short, the fireball or plasmoid is the key to LENR in the SK. The fireball is a unique self organizing structure that produces nuclear reactions and exchanges the energy with the plasma via self generating oscillations which exchange matter and energy.

Final notes.

1) The same type of fireball can be produced by biasing the anode. In this case, the fireball will be produced at the anode. In systems where the anode is not biased, the fireballs can be produced at the cathode. They are the same phenomenon regardless where they are located.

2) This phenomenon is probably taking place inside the lattice of metals where hydrogen can exist as a plasma and setup double layers.

Dear Andrea,

Through my online research I’ve discovered that the existence of a fire ball (plasma ball) with a double layer on the surface (protons in the enterior and electrons on the outside) is critical for the negative resistance phenomena to take place. The plasma ball acts almost as a capacitor or a source of energy to sustain the negative resistance. During this same time period, the plasma ball sustains itself by absorbing radiant energy (mostly heat) from the general plasma environment and begins to produce a self-generating oscillation. This oscillation is basically the conversion of heat into electrical current by the plasma ball.

Due to the production of anomalous energy (in various forms) allegedly generated by a number of different devices producing plasma balls, it is logical to assume that in addition to zero point energy extraction LENR reactions are taking place near the double layers where positive ions and electrons can interact. If this is the case, this amazing self organizing plasma structure in the QX would take the heat generated, convert it to electrical current, and project this electricity through the discharge. A portion of this electrical current (perhaps a significant amount) is converted in the general plasma into heat and light! What remains can be collected as electricity.

No steam boilers, no thermo-electric panels, no photothermalvotaic devices with tiny gaps: the plasma ball ON IT’S OWN converts the heat generated by LENR into electricity. The light and heat are primarily massive losses, but future versions of the QX could be designed to minimize the production of heat/light and boost direct electrical output.

So fundamentally to maximize the energy produced by the plasma ball (if LENR produces a significant portion of the heat) the proper fuel mixture should be utilized. The first step seems to be choosing one or more noble gases. Argon is obvious the FIRST choice. However, additions of other gases like neon could also optimize the formation of the plasmoid.

Next, once the noble gases have been selected, we need to look at the fuels that would be undergoing nuclear reactions. The two most obvious that come to mind are hydrogen (protium with no neutrons) and deuterium (with a neutron). My understanding is that deuterium has a higher cross section for nuclear reactions than hydrogen. Moreover, in spinning up the plasmoid, adding some quantity of deuterium would allow for another layer of positive ions to form with a different mass.

Finally, we need to think about what the hydrogen and deuterium would interact with, in addition to possibly themselves. My guess is that lithium is an ideal fuel for a number of reasons. Basically, in a large number of experiments by different parties, it seems to be susceptible to nuclear reactions with hydrogen/deuterium at very low energies (a few hundred eV) far below what is predicted by traditional nuclear physics (hundreds of KeV minimum). Another fuel that should not be totally ignored are the NANO-PARTICLES produced via sputtering from the electrodes. These metal particles of nickel, manganese, or potentially even other metals such as platinum could also undergo nuclear reactions, although at a lower rate than lithium.

Everything else is basically about helping sustain resonance (design of the power supply so it acts like a tank circuit), possibly applying low powered frequencies to the plasma ball after the initial pulse to help sustain it, and to keeping the plasmoid free floating and away from the electrode surfaces which would produce massive erosion.

Any thoughts or comments?

I beleive that TheFutureIsNow really has something important to contribute here. The plasma balls form because of charge imbalance on the surfaces of nano-particles.

An extreme concentration of charge on a surface of nano sized particles might produce a plasma mirror that might convert such a charge carrying particle into an analog black hole. The charge concentration would produce an polariton enabled event horizon where photons would be catalyzed from the vacuum.

The polariton conversion of the electron layer is necessary because the event horizon needs to be born and destroyed almost instantly to liberate the photons that the electron charge layer based analog black holes catalyzes.

Both normal and superconducting microparticles can support this charge concentration effect. The LENR reaction requires that light and/or phonons in some form is needed to produce polaritons in the polarized charge concentration. The RF that Rossi uses could produce charge concentration on the surface of particles that are formed in the plasma. It also could produce phonons that can produce polaritons,

Perhaps a Di lithium crystal matrix is required to allow the phonons to oscillate above the amplitude required for the coloumb barrier to allow the tunneling of virtual black hole

and liberating enough energy to be transferred via non radiative resonant coupling ? Wait .... sorry, just finished watching an episode of Star Trek....

If anything Gentlemen, all of this pain and scrapping over the years in this LENR environment has allowed a greater 'out of the box' thinking among the many once stuffy, great potential thinking minds many of you have endeavored to use, You have used many colorful words and adverbs further justified by your actions to create 'scape goats' to carry your frustrated burdens of angst and pessimism.

I enjoy your approach and this level of real science applied.

Here's an interesting article showing that electrons can be excited by lasers to act like muons- if they can be activated to shrink protons then surely they can also be activated to induce cold fusion - like muons?

Proton-size puzzle deepens

Measurement in ordinary hydrogen agrees with a surprising 2010 result on the element's exotic cousin — but gives a smaller value than virtually every other experiment.

Researchers shone lasers at hydrogen atoms in a vacuum chamber to pinpoint the size of the protons inside.

The proton might truly be smaller than was thought. Experiments on an exotic form of hydrogen first found¹ a puzzling discrepancy with the accepted size in 2010. Now, evidence from a German and Russian team points to a smaller value for the size of the proton with ordinary hydrogen, too.

The results, which appeared on 5 October in Science², could be the first step towards resolving a puzzle that has made physicists doubt their most precise measurements, and even their most cherished theories.

Still, “before any resolution, this new value has to be confirmed”, says Jan Bernauer, a physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge. If other labs confirm it, he adds, “then we can find why the old experiments were wrong, hopefully”.

  For decades, physicists have estimated the size of the proton using one of two main techniques. Atomic physicists use spectroscopy to measure the energy levels of electrons orbiting an atomic nucleus — consisting of either the single proton in a hydrogen atom, or a bigger nucleus. The size of the nucleus affects those energies because electrons spend some time moving through the nucleus as they orbit it.

Meanwhile, nuclear physicists have used a similar technique to the one that enabled Ernest Rutherford to discover atomic nuclei in the first place. They hit the atoms with beams of fast-moving electrons and measure how the electrons bounce off.

As their precision improved, both methods roughly came to agree on a radius of about 0.8768 femtometres (millionths of a millionth of a millimetre).

But in 2010, a novel kind of experiment completed at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Villigen, Switzerland, disrupted the consensus. After a decade of unsuccessful attempts, a multinational collaboration led by Randolf Pohl, then at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ) in Garching, Germany, measured energy transitions not in ordinary hydrogen, but in lab-made ‘muonic’ hydrogen. These are atoms in which the electron has been replaced by a muon — a particle similar to an electron in most of its properties, but 200 times more massive. The heavier particle spends more time inside the nucleus, which means that the proton’s size has a much larger effect on the muon’s energies — which, in turn, should lead to a much more precise estimate of the proton’s radius.

Pohl’s team found the proton to be 4% smaller than the accepted value. Some researchers speculated that perhaps some previously unknown physics could make muons act differently than electrons. This would have required a revision of the standard model of particle physics, which predicts that muons and electrons should be identical in every way except for their masses — and might have pointed to the existence of yet-to-be-discovered elementary particles.

Exciting technique

In the latest paper², Pohl, now at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany, and his collaborators tickled hydrogen atoms — containing ordinary electrons — with two different lasers. The first one sent the atoms’ electrons into an excited state, and the second one put them into a higher-energy excitation. The team then detected the photons that the atoms released as their electrons fell back into lower-energy excitation states.

The team combined its data with an earlier, high-precision measurement to calculate the Rydberg constant, which expresses the energy that it takes to rip the electron off the hydrogen atom. Standard theory then enabled the researchers to calculate the radius of the proton from this constant. The value they found was consistent with the muonic-hydrogen measurement, and 5% smaller than the 'official' proton radius.

The basis of laser-stimulated LENR, electrons stimulated to act like muons? The first laser increasing electron spin/orbital velocity (excited state), the second into a higher orbital state?

How Big Is the Proton, Really?

By Sophia Chen

2018 APS April Meeting, Columbus, Ohio — In 2010, Randolf Pohl’s team measured the size of the proton with the highest precision yet. But the result befuddled them: the proton radius — or more specifically, how far its positive charge extends — came out to 0.84 fm, about 0.04 fm smaller than all prior measurements. The particle’s width seemed to have shrunk by 4 percent.

“It caught everybody off-guard,” says David Newell, who chairs the Committee on Data for Science and Technology (CODATA), the international group which publishes the recommended values for fundamental physical constants every four years.

To this day, physicists do not understand the source of this discrepancy. In a presentation at the April Meeting this year, Pohl, who works at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, discussed recent experiments for resolving the so-called proton radius puzzle.

Obvious answer is: stimulation of electrons to act like muons to reduce proton size-(maybe the relativistic mass of the electron increases 100-fold (Lorentz factor) as the angular velocity increases to 0.995 light speed?) How the muon/excited electron does this is a mystery, could be something to do with the strong nuclear force being magnetic in nature. But again- electrons being stimulated/excited to act like muons, the first, original cold fusion ever reported in the fifties and predicted by A.Sakharov - could this be the underlying CF mechanism from F&P onwards?

Also touched on this..

Just something to think about

And that's how AR's E-cat's work - muon-like electrons are generated in the plasma ball then in turn stimulate p fusion to D then T over several seconds ending up with He and gamma release. Of course a few background cosmic-ray generated muons should spark things off as well....maybe repeat the expt on the top of Mt Everest!

Hopefully you can get the island worked out ~

The current accepted proton "charge radius" is 0.84087fm what is pretty close to the 3D/4D magnetic charge(moment) radius of 0.840869916! Thus I do to expect this value to change anymore.

There is a discussion about a so called "proton magnetic radius" that represents the border of its magnetic flux. This radius is in the order of 0.83....fm. Here again one must choose. Either we look for a radius that allows to calculate the magnetic mass or one that limits the proton relativistic magnetic mass. The later is the one mentioned in the paper.

The event horizon theory is derived from examination of the meltdown of the LION reactors as recorded in MFMP videos as follows:

You might not have seen the videos that contain the analysis that MFMP has made in the LION experiment. This info is both revealing and exciting in the extreme.

It shows how wormholes and black holes work, It reveals how quarks are confined and the detailed nature of the strong force.

and

the info at about 12:50 is most revealing of all. It shows how matter in quark disassembled form is stored inside a wormhole and how that quark soup is reorganized when the wormhole terminates into new elements that form as happened under the rules that were and still are in place when matter first evolved after the big bang.

In this last video below, the micro diamond which carry LENR fuel particles that are embedded as inclusions in micro diamonds show how these fuel particles activate and begins to eat matter as they tunnel through the diamond. When the "miners" simultaneously deactivate, the liberated quarks contained inside the wormhole component of each miner is reconstituted and deposited as transmutation products and left at the far front end of the tunnels that each miner has excavated.

There are three distinct epoch of transmutation during which all the miners are at work digging tunnels by eating diamond. When each epoch terminates, transmuted elements are deposited at the forward-most end of the tunnel with each of the transmutation products produced by the entire miner aggregation of each epoch being identical as produced by each individual miner.

No. The event horizon is defined by Mr. Schwarzschild.

Mr. Schwarzschild. worked up some numbers for GRAVITY based black holes, but I don't know of anybody who has done the same for all the various ANALOG event horizons.

I`m sorry, but I cannot believe in this esoterical magic.

This is why Rossi is releasing a commercial product. The lure of $billions will produce the jobs of the future where we will all need to educate ourselves to make a living in the new LENR world.

"This is why Rossi is releasing a commercial product." He claimed to have done this quite some times in the past, didn't he?

We should stick to the facts. The fact is at this point: Rossi says he will show an ECat SK in action, and has set up a website with a count down clock and a private video presentation, probably with his friend Fabiani (?) and Frank Acland somewhere. But he already made it clear that what we see is not the final installation at the secret customers facility, where the SK is installed in the existing heating system and replaces the former heat source at -20% $$...and is controlled remotely from his Condo in Miami... We will see a 27kW heater in action, and will be shown what the input and output power is (measured by Rossi)

We may see probably another more advance DPS just to keep all of his followers happy. I would love to believe he found the holy gral and has a LENR product, but based on all his behavior, his silly information on certifications, his crazy business plan, and every single missing piece of real evidence (a factory, a lab, logistics in/out, supply chain, employees, team pictures, a sales and service team, local authorities awareness and no public traces on the internet of anybody related to this and somebody who has started a new world changing business...) I cannot admit this is for real.

We know Rossi's description of another first commercial installation in "customers" plant at the Doral warehouse...so everybody should be careful with what we will see and what will happen after Jan 31...
