I would love a 200% efficient electric heater.

Side by side ..

a 200% Mizuno Pd/D2 LENR heater 2KW in 4KW out

and a Daikin heat pump 2 KW in 6KW out( 300% efficiency using electricity)

which one takes longer to heat a hot tub .?

A hot tube is so nice if you work out cutting wood.

Mizuno did not get to 2.0 but he was close... but preparation

of the Pd/Ni fuels took ages.. and required a skilled artisan

so he changed his fuelprep method and the COP went down

and then the lab went down ..but he is not down..

Brillouin old website they basically had the HHT system look like any typical nuclear power plant design.

Brillo diagram shows a 5-10MW boiler. which is used to make electricity in steam turbines

Godes targets boiler makers and manufacturers who need this level of power

. however Mizuno has drawn 2 kW heaters for space heating.for cold household in Hokkaido

KISS method of keeping it simple

To keep it simple a COP of 5.0 is necessary if you are using electricity as the input energy for general consumer applications such as spaceheating.

Of course if someone invents something that just requires thermalheating as the prime input then a COP of much closer to 1.0 is useful.

At a COP of 2.0 (for electricity) you lose money fast if its nickel and faster if its palladium

To get a COP higher than 2.0 and a continuous, reliable , safe etc (as Alan stated) is not a simple matter... no one has done it yet.

Trivializing a discovery like working LENR with appreciable power gain and power output is a hallmark of not understanding in the least what you're talking about.

SOT.. your ignorance is astounding after all these years on LENR FORUM.

You have zero understanding about thermal efficiency

Why would Godes even mention needing a COP of 5.0

Electric energy is the highest grade of energy we have. Thermal energy is the lowest.

Why does a Kwh of electricity cost so much more than a Kwh of natural gas???

You don't read. you don't learn

No wonder you make crap statements continually.

to replace nuclear facilities with HHT fuel rods instead.

the present nuclear facilities are really inflexible centralised facilities. which need largeness (economiesofscale)to compensate for the cost of leadshielding, sodium pumps moderator tanks etc..

I think the smallest viable ones maybe 160 MW

(https://www.greentechmedia.com…nuclear-grows#gs.grTcUuQm)

,. the attraction of small LENR fuel rods is that they don't need expensive heat transfer and radiation protection/control...therefore

they can be useful at the 500 W level depending on the COP..

which means they can be used as distributed powerplants...which saves on transmission costs.

nuclear fuel rods don't have individual electric power supplies

It would be best suited to sell the product as is

At a COP of 2.0 as Godes explains,, it isn't worth much..perhaps the Qpulse tech is worth a bit

if Godes could tweak something and get the COP up to 2.5 in say 3 months..

then investor could see stronger possibility of the COP 5.0. in 5 years time

The question is what else can Godes tweak

If the theory doesn't give much of a clue ..then its just trial and error

Playing around with the reactor composition, material stresses, temperature, takes years and yet more $

Basic groundzero research looks to be extinct inexpensive technology areas.

Its the future funding rather than the past that is the sticking point.

Brillouin's licenses sales seem to be a way to go

but it requires a very energetic sales manager.

Please elaborate..SOT on "messes up a lot"

now which year was your degree in electrical engineering?

BTW your status as resident DOTAI (defender of truth and integrity) is not in danger .

Its going to take Brillouin a while to get up to COP 5... which is economc

But still the December,2018 COP2.0 figures are encouraging.

Importance of knots as non-equilibrium areas to enhance Anomalous Heat Effects (AHE) in

This is my armchair view,, very easy to say.. not so easy to test experimentally

.......Perhaps the knots have to be freshly prepared...within a day or so..otherwise the nonequlibrium is lost

perhaps Mathieu and SKINR lost the tightness in their knots due to creep of dislocations??

Replications can fail for may reasons unless the exact conditions of the original experiment are followed

How many variables are there involved in the original experiment???

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Ascoli Than are dreamt of in your philosophy     foamology.

The anomalous heat observed by Celani may well be an anomalous gamma state decay effect induced by stress on isotopes such as Fe-57

.. however this is speculation..

which of course requires patient and methodical research to test out rather than Ascolian buffoonery.

Ascolian foamology from the Italian blogosphere.

Magnetism is from the Greek magnes lithos which the Latins adopted as magnes

said to be from the lodestones found at Magnesia on the Meander River.

Microscopic examination of lodestones reveal magnetite (Fe₃O₄) with inclusions of maghemite (cubic Fe₂O₃), often with impurity metal ions of titanium, aluminium, and manganese. This inhomogeneous crystalline structure gives this variety of magnetite sufficient coercivity to remain magnetized and thus be a permanent magnet
Whatmagnetizeslodestones? The Earth's magnetic field at 0.5 gauss is too weak to magnetize a lodestone by itself.The leading theory is that lodestones are magnetized by the strong magnetic fields surrounding lightning bolts.This is supported by the observation that they are mostly found near the surface of the Earth, rather than buried at great depth.

I doubt whether even Ascoli65 can find foam in this paper. even if he reads it ten times.

The Celani et al speculations are interesting for me..even magnetic.

Definitely a good use of Italian Lira for further research.

1.The latest results (after June,2018) with constantan wire cappuccino knots are very good

https://www.researchgate.net/p…origin=publication_detail

"

As a comparison, previous experiments18 reported at ICCF21, gave a stable excess power of 6-7 W with

an input power of 100-120 W19. With the new knot design the excess reaches 20-25 W at similar input power."

2.Also the direct electricity production potential is very good

"The whole of the observations allows to speculate on a thermionic power converter able to generate

electricity through the thermionic emission of a cathode, heated by AHE, and collected by an anode

(colder and/or featuring a different work function with respect to the cathode)."

Calculations of phonon energy as magnetic moment.

No calculations for Palladium hydride but cesium hydride has a THz frequency

in the same region that Nagel/Letts observed to give good LENR.

and a high?? magnetic moment..perhaps PdH2 similarly...

maybe a Thz resonant frequency might help to align or twist atoms

Orbital magnetic moments of phonons

Dominik M. Juraschek1 and Nicola A. Spaldin1 1Materials Theory, ETH Zurich, CH-8093 Zu¨rich, Switzerland (Dated: December 14, 2018)

In ionic materials, circularly polarized phonons carry orbital magnetic moments that arise from circular motions of the ions, and which interact with other magnetic moments or fields. Here, we calculate the orbital magnetic moments of phonons in 35 different materials using density functional theory, and we identify the factors that lead to, and materials that show, large responses. We compute the resulting macroscopic orbital magnetic moments that can be induced by the excitation of coherent phonons using mid-infrared laser pulses, and we evaluate the magnitudes of the phonon Zeeman effect in a strong magnetic field. Finally, we apply our formalism to chiral phonons, in which the motions of the ions are intrinsically circular. The zoology presented here may serve as a guide to finding materials for phonon and spin-phonon driven phenomena

Atom Ecology.

Its a way of thinking from Russ( who has an ecological worldview)) which I think supposes that LENR happens naturally in impure mixtures of silicate and oxide rockswhere there are sources of low Z and 'reactive' atom species H,D .He3..perhaps Li.

rather than just in highly synthetic 100%D/Pd/Li.

Wyttenbach is less ecological

"

Fusing nuclei generate an EM-pulse (adding radial magnetic flux of up to 16..24 MeV) that aligns neighbor

spin axes, what leads to potential attraction of new atomic pairs. This effect is increased by the resonance

of magnetic gamma states.

These moments (long living magnetic gamma states) may also serve as a temporary storage of magnetic

excess-energy. The lower their level, the easier you can inducedthe needed field to get a resonance. This

also can explain sudden cool down effects seen in recent experiments!

Because long living magnetic gamma states obey an exact probabilistic behavior, it should be possible to

model the reaction kinetics of a given isotopes mixture by a coupled Markov (chain-) process."

The initial conditions in the mix(set by the atom farmer) will have a large effect on a steadystate system

where the energy input from deuterium fusion is dissipated via

a balanced mix of desired metastable isomers/groundstates with matching J's and deltas

Perhap Russ's word atomecology really means atomfarming..where instead of

whole wild periodic table maybe just a select mix of 20 or so metastable/base states is used.

This should eventually be more predictable just as fishfarming is more predictable than

natural populations.
