But under such a condition even a Millionelectrons would be an "invisible", small amount...
Shoulders would probably have agreed with you. However he thought the number of electrons in an EV could be as high as Avogadro's number. Which (for those not familiar) is 6.023 × 1023.
I see Jim Dunne is among the publicly announced speakers. Always good value for money if not always correct- he has been a lead investigator in the field for a long long time.
Hen Shoulders is very insistent on the need for sharp pointed electrodes. That way he could generate EV's with just a few hundred volts.
What most LENR reactor builders don't appreciate is the absolute requirement for self-sustain stimulation.
It's called 'heat after death'. We look for it all the time.
Yes- 'click' on the picture, and it starts to load a computer game. Very annoying.
Hi Franco.
The website you use to host your drawings is infected with 'pop-ups'. Yesterday is was advertising for a Casino, today it is 'Congratulations, you have won a free mobile phone!' I have a pretty rubbish-resistant computer and these are still getting through. I suggest you find somewhere else to host your pictures.
ps. Happy Christmas!
This particular paper (and the many references attached) is a good 'catch up' read for those to whom this whole phenomenon and its probable relationship to LENR is still a bit of a mystery.
Well, at least it blows the moss off the roof-tiles.
"The electron must have special properties" (E.Storms).
This reminds me of a long-ago physics lecturer, who said 'We can describe the mass, the charge, and the spin of an electron, specify it's energy level, often tell where it has been and where it is going, but never forget this. It is an electron, it has powers and properties we have yet to discover, and - just sometimes- it will do it's own thing, whether we want it to or not.'
In the spring I'm going to be working on some of this stuff, long overdue for a revisit. The disappearing files btw are said to be because it was KS's last wish that his papers should be taken off the web because he feared they offered a route into the construction of some very dangerous weapons.
But that was not the subject of my earlier comment and the fact that such exchanges take place does not justify treating all questions and comments as attacks or responding to legitimate questions with attacks.
I quite agree.
Alan, my comment described the form of response to substantive questions posed by skeptics.
Having had a look through your recent posts, I fail to see where the adjective 'substantive' fits in. Or were you describing posts by othere?
A friend of mine, working at his very nice restaurant in Tokyo. Spider crab legs, anyone?
I don’t expect any response to this other than personal attacks in one form or another. That is another hallmark of “the community.”
So you can make attacks on the group you describe as 'believers', but they can't make comments about you? Seems very fair to me, and truly reflects the spirit of Christmas.
This is a historic post by axil - I think it deserves another airing in this thread.
In the reference provided below, this is what the Surface plasmon polariton (SPP) looks like when it disconnects from the lattice and moves freely. In LENR, free moving SPP solitons can be found in both the liquid and plasma phase.

From EGO OUT on the work of Frédéric Henry-Couannier and a preview of his upcoming presentation as follows:
Frédéric Henry-Couannier is almost all the way toward correct thinking about the fundamental causation of LENR. Micro lightning balls (mlb), is the fundamental cause of LENR. But these electromagnetic solitons have already been discovered in nanoplasmonics. They are called by their scientific name “Dark mode surface plasmon polaritons” (SPP) and are actually acoustic black holes. Most of the time thay are produced by and affixed to the metal lattice and because they are stationary, they cannot reach their maximum power potential. But when they are freed from the lattice, they can grow in strength to a huge extent. This is true for both water based and plasma based environments in which they are also formed.
For example, in a meltdown of a Ni/H reactor, the SPP becomes detached from the lattice and grows strong in a plasma as the meltdown process precedes. Like any vortex that can move; many of these solitons are attracted to each other and many might combine together to grow in intensity in their aggregation. Ken Shoulders termed these structures produced in the plasma of an electric arc EV.(or large electrons). LeClair produces these objects in his cavitation reactor and has seen them exit that reactor to punch holes in his walls and even exit his lab to punch holes in the trees outside his building. In the Proton 21 experiment, the solitons were found to decompose material far from the site of their creation. LeClair has seen a SPP eat through as much as 2 meters of copper on the surface of a copper bar.
And yet the same EMF vortex mechanism can be found inside microorganisms. Like any black hole, there are two mechanisms of reaction projection involved: a beam of magnetism the emits from one pole of the soliton. This magnetic beam is the high energy interface. Just like a quasar, the monopole like anapole magnetic field projects axially from one poll of the SPP. Penrose superradiance increases the monopole magnetic field by 20%.
Then there is the other LENR mechanism: low energy projection of multi particle entanglement. This mechanism (a worm hole connecting N particles with the SPP) provides for teleportation of energy to and from the site of the atomic transformation.
This is how atoms around the SPP are connected by multi-wormhole entanglement during a multi-atom cluster based transformation reaction. In the quantum world everything is fuzzy and uncertain. Atoms cannot be pinned down to a definite location. Called superposition, an atom may even be in two places at the same time. All this uncertainty makes determining how a reaction happens and what atoms participate in the reaction impossible to define. We only know that all the conservation laws will be followed.
In a preview of Frédéric Henry-Couannier upcoming presentation next week, I suspect that the theory (Dark Gravity) will explain how these EMF black holes interact with matter. But not only gravity can produce black holes, EMF can do it too. Any wave form that forms a boundary condition can do it, even water.
For a preview and an explanation of acoustic black holes see the following video:
Prof. Daniele Faccio: "Black Holes, With A Twist" - Inaugural Lecture
The work of Leonid Urutskoev and D.V. Filippov on exploding titanium foils are formative to my understanding of the LENR reaction. One point that greatly impressed me seen in these experiments was the detection of the LENR reaction far from the plasma channel produced by the exploding foil. I call this feature of the reaction “action at a distance”. In these exploding foil experiments, fission of uranium was detected in a chamber in the test device that was physically separated from the location of the plasma channel. From Holmlid, we now know that muons and mesons can be produced by the LENR reaction, these subatomic particles can travel over a considerable distance to initiate muon catalyzed fission.
The LENR reaction has a gigantic range of action from nanoscale energy production in biological transformations to the formation of transuranic elements of the most heavy kind at the high energy range of the reaction.
This wide range of transformation of elements confuses most LENR theorists. It is difficult to envision how transuranic elements tha usually form in the trillion degree environment inside supernova can be produced here on earth in a bucket of water.
Most of the LENR old guard believe that LeClair is mentally unbalanced for claiming that his cavitation based reaction can produce the heaviest transuranic elements that exist. Holmlid also does not understand that his laser based reaction which produce temperatures up to as much as 500 million kelvin is a LENR reaction. LENR can produce energy as high as LHC can produce or a supernova.
But transformation of elements can occur all the way up to the quark soup level of nuclear processes being as energetic as any nuclear processes to be found in the universe. The more energy that is fed into the LENR transformation process, the more energetic is the resulting nuclear products that will result.
At the very high end of the LENR reaction scale, a scale that befuddles our understanding, the scale at which transuranic elements form, the question that is begging to be answered: what force can encompass multiple atoms together with all their associated electron clouds so that they can be combined together to produce an ultra heavy atom. The answer is magnetism; nano magnetism, asymmetric magnetism, strong optical magnetism and Fano resonances in asymmetric plasmonic metamolecules, magnetism as intense as any to be found anywhere in the universe.
It is the credulity of Rossi's followers (perhaps you too), as much as Rossi's own character, that fascinates here.
Since you don't appear to believe in LENR at all, I always you were here just for the arguments. I didn't realise that psychodramas could be so compelling, I can't even get to the end of a box set TV drama without getting the feeling I should be doing something more useful. 
Hi Gennady.
RobertBryant posted this in the p-p fusion thread- it occurs to me that it is probably of interest to you. https://www.nature.com/articles/srep37740
can Thank you for digging up these papers , as you mention thy are not easy to find, in fact are being taken down all over the web. I have no clear idea why. I think the experiment described is definitely on my Christmas list.
We need to dream a little.
