Phonon-nuclear interactions (Florian Metzler)

Quote from Rob Woudenberg

Metzler has an impressive number of university degrees.

This Metzler paper re-examining the supposedly Bell -led semiconductor revolution

may be useful to guess what's going on BTS in the LENR R&D..

Alhfors LF and others perform a useful informal function..perhaps not for Bell though..who??

I propose to distinguish between
an exploration phase (~1920-1945), a consolidation phase (1945-1950), and a maturation phase (1950-)
whereas the intermediate consolidation phase represents a topological transition

as is characteristic of emerging fields.

Another emphasis of this article lies on the role of informal knowledge in the invention process.

In the transistor case, such informal knowledge included

patent specifications with proposed device designs,

amateur radio magazine articles with reported anomalies,

and oral anecdotes in practitioner circles describing experimental configurations of interest.

This research asserts that such kinds of informal knowledge played an important role

early on in the invention process as they guided both early research campaigns and managerial decisions,

including at Bell Labs.

Florian Metzler became visible by a recent post of Ahlfors on patent applications filed by Metzler and Hagelstein.

The basic principle as proposed is to enable nuclear interactions by creating phonons that have sufficient energy.

Metzler wrote his thesis "Experiments to investigate phonon-nuclear interaction" which was published by MIT.

Thesis Supervisor: Peter L. Hagelstein (Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering).

Patent applications by Florian Metzler.

Thanks Alan. The topic deserves a dedicated thread with a first post by Ahlfors, since he triggered the subject which seems a new principle worth studying and discussing here. Metzler's thesis seems a good starting point.

The Google thread became a bit scrambled with useful posts which were rather off-topic.

All this has been discussed already 2 years ago. The research has been presented in Assisi. Already there - in the discussion with Florian - it was clear that they do not understand what they did. So do not expect anything from followup projects.

In what sense? His thesis seems quite thorough.

This is research published by MIT.

MIT will not allow non-sense to be published to harm their reputation.

Can you motivate this a bit more?

If high energy phonons can be produced by artificial deformation of a metal lattice, this should also occur when a metal lattice such as nickel absorbs hydrogen. Absorption of hydrogen creates tension in the metal lattice, causing embrittlement in some cases.

I wonder why this has not been suggested or investigated by Metzler/Hagelstein.

Nuclear (LENR) reactions are triggered by resonances. The 57Co--> 57Fe reaction speed up they see exactly follows the same down scaling rules we found in our LENR reactions. It's a special reaction with zero impact for energy production.

You should not believe that a name (MIT) guarantees these folks understand what they see. Hagelstein wanted a proof that LENR can be triggered by phonon up-scaling and this is wrong. Key is a broad resonance for successful down-scaling!

THis is a kind of cyncronization of nuclear motion, vibration etc.

This is a basic approach to enhance cold fusion(nuclear reaction) so I do not think this is lack of pattentability.
