Quote from Mary Yugo

Well, first of all, "1MW" is not energy-- it's power. This is a common error among people ignorant about basic physics and basic units. Secondly, it says "sustained". So the first part is meaningless and the second part is impossible by maybe a dozen orders of magnitude, considering the size of the device. This is typical of what we get out of BLP, a company which has been claiming industrial levels of energy production ("we sold the rights to an electric power company") for going on 20 years and which has never once performed a proper, calibrated and controlled test. Just like Rossi, Defkalion, Bedini, Tilley, Steorn, Lee, Otto and all the other free energy scammers.

BTW, the unfortunate demise of Mallove was not a conspiracy. It is meticulously described in the Wikipedia entry and other news articles about him and his death.

Mary, Mary, Mary ... According to your working principles, any high powered system that is nearing production requires your destructive attentions.

BLP needs your attentions to kill it. You might try to write all the funders to explain how BLP is a fraud. Also, sending all the academics and govenment people working with BLP letters explaining how their theories are crazy and fraudulent. Explain to them how they will be irreparably harmed professionally by association with the hydrino theory.

This strategy has been road tested and has been successful in killing many other LENR projects as you have oftentimes reminded us. It may be time to work your wiles on BLP. Can you rise to the same levels of intensity and passion that has been successful for you in the past? Can you once again humble another army of deluded admirers of a flimflam operation? One more time into the breach, one more time to reach for glory.

But when the blast of war blows in your ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger:
Stiffen the sinews, conjure up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favoured rage:
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;
Let it pry through the portage of the head,
Like the brass cannon; let the brow o’erwhelm it
As fearfully as doth a galled rock
O’erhang and jutty his confounded base,
Swill’d with the wild and wasteful ocean.

I saw in the complaint filed by Rossi where he wants damages. Damages means he wants 3 times 89 million, that is 267 million if criminal intent by IH is adjudged. The loss of that much money would mean the end of IH and all its shareholders would be out of luck. Rossi would be the only show in town.

Quote from Hermes

Well obviously the Widom-Larsen, Fisher and Bazhutov models could explain neutron transfers. But I suggest that the fact 62Ni has the highest binding energy per nucleon is irrelevant. In fact these models suggest that 62Ni can still capture neutrons ...

I do expect that proton capture of an electron can occur inside the nucleus under the weak force is possibly amplified under the LENR reaction, but it is an effect of the reaction and not a cause.

I looks like every LENR system has its own transmutation footprint, with each reflecting the engineering ideocuries of each particular system's design, we are talking about Rossi's system here.

I don't think that LENR will permit a neutron rich isotope to exist because LENR will induce amplified neutron decay. But I will keep an eye on transmutation results among systems to see if this suspension is well founded.

Quote from Majorana

The biggest problem I am seeing in Beenes and Coles setup is that they don't use a suitable laser source
for excitation. They seem to be able to handle the potassium catalyst and also H2/D2 though.

It would be interesting to use a potassium catalyst with larger active area, similar to activated charcoal, and then apply
the D flow through it.

charcoal will not work, its crystal structure is wrong, it must be graphite with a hexagonal structure.

Quote from IH Fanboy

With money that was attracted due to Rossi's e-Cat. So the rest of the LENR researchers can thank Rossi for this funding. And don't even bother trying to speculate that IH's investment take was inspired by non LENR+ experiments, because that is simply a non-starter. No entity in their right minds are going to invest 50 mill on something that has zero commercial viability. It was because of Rossi, plain and simple.

Why would Jed's friends fed FUD to Jed. Simple, to protect their research money. If Rossi got the 89 million, Jed's friends would get nothing. That is strong motivation and how much is friendship worth anyway?

I beleive in the weakness in human nature rather than a 5000% error rate on a flow meter.

Dear Dr. Rossi,

It seems that a commercial development of the QuarkX for lighting will be closer than for electricity.
Can you tell your followers if you made progress in selecting a phosphor, like a YAG working at high temperatures,
to convert the mostly blue light to broadband light?

Also, if have considered the use of a high precision 3D printer to experiment with different shapes for the QuarkX “core”?

Best Regards,
Ovidiu Herlea

Ovidiou Herlea:
Thank you for your suggestion. The blue halo has nothing to do with the illumination produced by the QuarkX. Besides: light, electricity will be produced at the same time, without particular privilege.

Warm Regards,
A.R.
-------------------------------------------
The cause of the Quark light emission and the blue light emission come from two separate and distinct mechanisms.

This Rossi reveal implies to me that the blue light is coming from a halo of light the surrounds the Quark and is caused by some sort of charged particle emission that is energizing nitrogen atoms in the air to emit blue light.

The sub atomic particle cannot be neutrons, so the charges particles must be electrons. High energy electron excitation are the most probable way that nitrogen can become excited enough to fluoresce in blue light. This is aurora like light.

High energy electrons are coming off the Quark in such high numbers that the air is glowing blue. The metal cover of the core collectes these electrons. This may be where the practical production of the Quark comes from.

The current required to produce electric glow

Voltage versus current characteristics for neon gas at 1 Torr pressure between flat electrodes spaced 50 cm. A-D dark discharge, D-I glow discharge, I-K arc. A-B represent non-self-sustaining discharge and collection of spontaneously-generated ions. B-D is the Townsend region, where the cascade multiplication of carriers takes place. D-E is the transition to a glow discharge, breakdown of the gas. E-G represents transition to a normal glow; in the regions around G, voltage is nearly constant for varying current. The region G-I represents abnormal glow, as current density rises. I-J represents transition to an arc discharge.

Quote from Hermes

Has anyone ventured to discuss the isotopic variations in terms of possible reactions? Are they compatible with any existing models?

OK...The puzzle is:

How can neutrons increase and decrease in these various nuclei types and yet not be seen in the reaction. The LENR reaction is completely without FREE neutrons seen in the space outside of the nucleus.

Is there movement of neutrons through space taking place in an invisible dimension? Is there a beta decay occurring inside the nucleus both to add and remove neutrons? What could be causing this beta decay gone amuck? This strange Neutron behavior seems to only occur inside the nucleus.

Whatever is happening is stopping at Ni62 the most stable of all nuclei. The unexplained LENR reaction just seems to not be able to get over the Ni62 energy barrier. Adding neutrons to nickel to get to Ni62 cost a ton of energy. Where is that energy coming from. how is that energy passed around?

Please explain this situation based on your favorite LENR theory.

Let us change are way of thinking from reality as particles to reality as energy.

There are vigorous neutron release from Ni64, so much so, that Ni64 seems to nearly vanish from the fuel. All roads upon which neutrons travel, either increase or decrease, seem to stop at Ni62.

Whatever is happening it seems to be enabling nucleons to seek their lowest energy wells.

Everything is getting ample energy supply and that is enabling nature to reconfigure to minimal energy states (all while releasing excess energy in the process).

Yeah, it seems like what is being passed around is energy. When the energy arrives inside the nucleus, it condenses into a neutron. Ni 58 keeps on receiving energy until it hits the NI62 limit.

As far as energy is concerned, all the energy is shared between all the atoms. It seems like there is a common energy blanket covering the fuel.

This sounds like a Bose condinsate is involved, whereby all the fuel atoms share energy among themselves.

The particle mindset does not seem to fit this situation in the least.

But many will say that a BEC cannot exist at 1500C, even though the transmutation results imply that the BEC must exist at extreme temperatures and make the kinds of energy movement possible without any constrants that the coulomb barrier brings with it.

What Dardik did was slightly different: F(t)=Asin²(ωt)(1+A sin²(ωt)).

Start with slide 5:

Once more: http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/DardikIexcessheat.pdf

Experiments were superwaves were used. Sample 64 is notable.

http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/DardikIultrasonic.pdf

The gas phase might require a alternate wave formation equation directed to producing high frequency waveforms in the terahertz range.

A Rouge Wave is a high amplitude wave that is many times the size of the average wave high.

The superwave is a method to create a high frequency waveform using simple circuitry and cabling without the need for expensive wave generators or lasers. The way to do this wave formation is through using sharp wave starts and stops as in square, trapezoidal, or saw tooth waves.

Rossi is using EMF stimulation in the Quark reactor in preference to heat stimulation. At .5 Watts, not much heat can be generated to drive the 100 watt Quark reactor.

Quote from AlainCo

about superwaves, if confirmed (it seems by McKubre & others) it means the phenomenon is very non-linear.
if the phenomenon was linear, just sending white or colored noise would do the job.
here the phase between the frequencies is important.

no surprise as it is clear LENR is non-linear.

Both Rossi and Fabiani have admitted that they use EMF stimulation to activate the LENR reaction.

Fabiani: "We have photographs of creatures that emit pure light that have completely melted the reactor down, all in a very quiet way. You just turn off the stimuli system and the reaction is switched off. It’s impressive."

By the way, the only balls of photons that emit pure blue light that I know about are Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPP)

Quote from damn_right _man

This superwave is in general nothing special/not existent( and wave having waves implies vibrations of the subatomic particles, which build the particle.... we can continue, to make real physics from his thread in this wrongly placed forum...).
ONCE AGAIN axil assumes, that it has to do with lenr. Axil's running out of arguments, because neither his monopoles, nor tachyons, nor WHATEVER he tried to tell us, has anything to do with reality , end even less with physics at all. Now he is on the "superwave" ... nahhhh...
And, for physics, this discussion is wayyyyy to "unmathy"...,

There is experimental evidence that shows all the "arguments",
I have addressed. That eveidence has not only come from

I have not invented the "arguments", I have only tried to understand and explain them.

It is easy to see these features in experiments for yourself, but like the old proverb states...You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.

If lithium vapor is absolutely necessary for CF you could do some LI vapor bulbles by cavitation at low temperature just close to each Ni particles.

Dear Andrea,
At the site Ecat.com I found a link to one of your first publications. (https://espace.cern.ch/test-vi…20Rossi-Focardi_paper.pdf)
In that document there is no mention of Lithium used although very high COP’s are reported. The theory in that report just assumes reactions between Ni and H. Now we know (or assume) lithium is the reactant that generates most of the released energy (as I found in later documents at this site). I am just curious: Didn’t you really use any lithium in the ‘secret cathalyser’ at that time?
Thanks for answering our questions.
Kind regards, Gerard

==========================

In the low temperature systems that Rossi first build, the operating temperatures were too low for lithium, so Rossi used potassium instead or maybe even cesium.

Quote from Alan Smith

This is a 'physics' thread so probably the right place.

Hi Axil.

Making a 20Thz waveform is one thing, boosting it to significant power levels is another. Do you have any suggestions as to how this could be done?

Design a special purpose circuit that produces the superwave form (This is what brillouin did) and impose that waveform onto the DC heater current. As I stated above, the Superwave form will most probably resolve to a square wave or a saw tooth wave. The circuit would need to form a modified square wave or you can use a Russian triac light dimer like alexander parkhomov did

This wave form generator circuit would be a great product offering for LookingForHeat.

One of the mechanisms that seems to work in stimulating the LENR reaction is EMF stimulation. There is a number of threads of research that might be tied together to get a handle on what could be the character and structure of this stimulation.

One of this treads is the Superwave patented in 2003 by Energetics Technologies, L.L.C.

https://www.google.nl/patents/US20030213696?dq=US2003213696&hl=nl&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjupK7b69_NAhUCYiYKHQY2CS8Q6AEIHjAA

The patent depicts the Superwave waveform as follows:

This waveform seems to help in starting the LENR reaction in electrolytic based systems.

It looks like a fractal based waveform with the primary wave repeated in superposition as a half or quarter wave of the primary wave in iterative fashion.

But what is the goal of the Superwave? I believe that the goal is to get to a very high frequency in the terahertz range using simple electronics in order to drive the dipole motion of the plasmons that are the fundamental power source of the LENR reaction through resonance.

Letts and Cravens found a number of LENR active resonances by using two lasers that produced beats through interference. They found there was a number of LENR stimulation frequencies in the terahertz region. In THz, 8.4, 14.5, 14.75, 15.3 and a broad resonance peak at 20 and 21.4.

By using the Superwave format, the goal is to get to one of these LENR active resonances at the smallest fractal resolution.

To build the our superwave, lets choose the 20 THz frequency as the smallest waveform in our compound superwave format.

We use the half wave fractal pattern, that means that the sign waves that form the superwave go like this

20, 10, 5, 2.5, 1.25, .625, 0.3125, 0.15625, 78.125 GHz, 39.0625 and so on until we get down to a low frequency or 20 harmonics. This Superwave form will resolve to a square wave or a saw tooth wave.

The harmonics that Rossi used in the Lugano test looked like a combined half wave and quarter wave mix.

The Lugano repost said that "The figure reveals that all the most important harmonics are contained within the 20th harmonic, and, therefore, that all the wave shape harmonics input to the system lie within the PCE’s measuring range"

This was about the paper in the post above: "decay rate change during sun eruptions"

I don't think that the weak interaction is fooled by any external effect. The alpha decay is a complete different path.

For the moment I would not say more and hope that a few more people measure the Ra226 effect and falsify it!!

https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1112/1112.6276.pdf

Abstract

Experimental results are presented on laser-induced accelerated alpha-decay of Uranium- 232 nuclei under laser exposure of Au nanoparticles in aqueous solutions of its salt. It is demonstrated that the decrease of alpha-activity strongly depends on the peak intensity of the laser radiation in the liquid and is highest at several terawatt per square centimeter. The decrease of alpha-activity of the exposed solutions is accompanied by the deviation of gamma-activities of daughter nuclides of Uranium-232 from their equilibrium values. Possible mechanisms of the laser influence on the alpha-activity are discussed on the basis of the amplification of the electric field of laser wave on metallic nanoparticles.

Quote from Wyttenbach

This is not true: If the theory of nuclear decay is exact, then there will be no variation with time that exceeds the statistic confidence intervall. Hence you have to exactly define what you mean by short in relation to half-time.

In the above mentionned experiments the half-time(s) show different time variation for a "very long time". Climatic influences can be rules out completely. You should read the "paper".

The period related to solar flares as mentioned in the articles are in days, a day or two...

Quote from Wyttenbach

May be there are reasons why some nucleus vary and others not. To many sites confirmed the effect. But only carefull measurements will solve this issue!

Bdw.: Did they mention which (why) kind of decay was influenced?

Cl₃₆ St₉₀ have a beta^- decay path where one of the confirmed ones (Ra₂₂₆) was an alpha emitter!

If climat influences physical measurements, then they should close such lab's...

over a long period of time, decay rates will average out even though for a very short period there could be a large change over a short time. The solar flare produces huge amounts of magnetism thought a release process called reconnection.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_reconnection

Quote from Eric Walker

From the article on decay rates:

The connection between the sun and radiation rate might be based on the magnetic energy released in a solar flare. Ken Shoulders patented this effect based on spark to remediate nuclear waste. At any rate, there is no evidence that the sun has fusion happening in its core, this is just and assumption. This sun might have a solid core like jupiter.

Quote from plazma_max

Based problem of high temperature in the reactor is lithium sintering metals or ceramics with the cell casing. Lithium is a vapor at such a temperature over 890 degrees Celsius. To avoid burn-out and sintering of the cell body to be manufactured from tantalum tab. The only material that does not chemically reacts with lithium vapor and has a high melting point of 3100 degrees Celsius. Not good only that the tantalum metal has a high cost. But who has the means to buy a tube of tantalum to solve many problems.

Tantalum is also paramagnetic which is good. Tantalum will not fight the applied EMF stimulation for control of the LENR reaction even though the high operating temperature of the reactor usually makes this material characteristic unnecessary.
