  • Rossi Sees E-Cat X Making Impact in Automotive Field

    Quote from Mary Yugo

    Ooooooooooooooooooooo.... juicy Rossifiction. Jet engines and cars! Just like every other classical free energy scammer. Typical.


    MaryYugo is now powerless in the face of Rossi's abundant funding. Now, all of MaryYugo's hard work will only provide Rossi with more time to add to his current substantial lead over his competition. All of Mary's incessant chattering will just discourage potential competitors from beginning their efforts to catch up to Rossi. How sweet this is as Mary pushes Rossi's bandwagon to even greater heights and speed. And best of all, Mary cannot help herself, she sufferers from an all consuming compulsion to destroy Rossi, but that hate just makes Rossi stronger. Like a hamster on a treadmill to kept at it, running faster and faster while standing still forever.

  • Glowstick 5.2 Test series

    Quote from Ecco

    What about a DIY cloud chamber? Wouldn't it be capable of visually detecting muons emitted from the reactor, especially if in great number compared to the cosmic ray background?


    It seems like Piantelli is the only researcher who has used a cloud chamber in his research. For the life of me, I cannot understand why. A cloud chamber is not only a low cost, easy to build, highly probative, and informative scientific instrument but also a unparalleled visual aid in providing both the researcher and general audience with a full flavor of what LENR really means.


    The particle detectors at CERN are solid state devices based on the same particle detection principles as those afforded in a cloud chamber.


    When cupped with a magnetic field, a cloud chamber can show the polarity and energy level of charged particles like the muon and even particle decay chains. Being so simple, rudimentary, and fundamental, a YouTube video of an experimental run featuring a series of experimental LENR based visual depictions of the experiment would provide visual evidence for nuclear activity that even the most brain dead of naysayers would have trouble denying. Even those LENR critics who persist in denying this simple to understand visual evidence would look like fools and propagandists that they are. After all who does one believe, this blabbering naysaying fool or the evidence of your own eyes?

    My GM counter is a basic instrument that detects beta particles (fast electrons) and gamma (high energy photons) in the range 0.1..3.0 MeV. It's pretty sensitive and has data output which is nice. The Sodium Iodide Spectrometer detects the same range of energies and particle types. It also measures the energy of each event using a photomultiplier tube and digital software. This feature helps characterize the possible source of emissions.


    Neither of these instruments can detect massive slow particles like alphas or neutrons. The alphas are not likely to pass through the cell wall. The neutrons are the real issue and detecting them is tricky. Then there's muons - we've talked about how Holmlid (and Sveinn) detect them, and the possibility of building a replica.That would be a separate experiment and venue though.


    Building a muon detector is a great idea. Its not junk, its been certified. The Holmlid muon detector was peer reviewed by the Review of Scientific Instruments.

    I can mail you the full article is you are interested. I have all of Holmlid stuff.

  • Experimental Evidence on Rossi Devices


    You just don't have all the data.


    I now believe that Rossi has a refractory foam fuel holder inside the alumina tube that shows the correct temperature when viewed by the Lugano test instruments. The temperature probe is passing through the semi transparent alumina to take the temperature of the refractory foam and fuel in the center of the aluminum tube. Please rework your analyst to assume a silicon carbide or tungsten carbide form structure inside the alumina tube.

    Quote from H-G Branzell

    Yeah, that’s our axil! :)


    Knot theory is old style science and goes back to Lord Kelvin.


    Quote

    Knots have been used for basic purposes such as recording information, fastening and tying objects together, for thousands of years. The early, significant stimulus in knot theory would arrive later with Sir William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) and his theory of vortex atoms.


    James Clerk Maxwell, a colleague and friend of Thomson's and Tait's, also developed a strong interest in knots. Maxwell studied Listing's work on knots. He re-interpreted Gauss' linking integral in terms of electromagnetic theory. In his formulation, the integral represented the work done by a charged particle moving along one component of the link under the influence of the magnetic field generated by an electric current along the other component. Maxwell also continued the study of smoke rings by considering three interacting rings.


    When the luminiferous æther was not detected in the Michelson–Morley experiment, vortex theory became completely obsolete, and knot theory ceased to be of great scientific interest. Modern physics demonstrates that the discrete wavelengths depend on quantum energy levels.


    But the æther has been now theorized to be a "Spin Net Liquid"


    In condensed matter physics, a string-net is an extended object whose collective behavior has been proposed as a physical mechanism for topological order by Michael A. Levin and Xiao-Gang Wen. A particular string-net model may involve only closed loops; or networks of oriented, labeled strings obeying branching rules given by some gauge group; or still more general networks.


    Their model purports to show the derivation of photons, electrons, and U(1) gauge charge, small (relative to the planck mass) but nonzero masses, and suggestions that the leptons, quarks, and gluons, can be modeled in the same way. In other words, string-net condensation provides an unification of photon and electron (or gauge bosons and fermions). It can be viewed as an origin of light and electron (or gauge interactions and Fermi statistics). However, their model does not account for the chiral coupling between the fermions and the SU(2)gauge bosons in the standard model.

    Quote

    The first hint that a new type of matter may exist came in 1982. "Twenty five years ago we thought we understood everything about phases and phase transitions of matter," says Wen. "Then along came an experiment that opened up a whole new world."


    "The positions of electrons in a Fractional Quantum Hall (FQH) state appear random like in a liquid, but they dance around each other in a well organized manner and form a global dancing pattern."


    In the experiment, electrons moving in the interface between two semiconductors form a strange state, which allows a particle-like excitation (called a quasiparticle) that carries only 1/3 of electron charge. Such an excitation cannot be view as a motion of a single electron or any cluster with finite electrons. Thus this so-called fractional quantum Hall (FQH) state suggested that the quasiparticle excitation in a state can be very different from the underlying particle that form the state. The quasiparticle may even behave like a fraction of the underlying particle, even though the underlying particle can never break apart. It soon became clear that electrons under certain conditions can organize in a way such that a defect or a twist in the organization gives rise to a quasiparticle with fractional charge -- an explanation that earned Laughlin, Horst Störmer and Daniel Tsui the Nobel prize (New Scientist, 31 January 1998, p 36).


    A magnetic field got knotted up and formed a pair of toroids connected by a monopole field (quasiparticle) with fractional spin.


    Lord Kelvin view of the atom in error in the details but on target in its spirit as a knotted photon vortex trapped in a toroidal path.


    Here is a theory of the electron as a knotted photon.


    http://www.cybsoc.org/electron.pdf
    Is the electron a photon with toroidal topology?


    Why should the quark be any different than the electron. The quark must also be a toroid made out of a knotted photon with fractional charge connected to its anti particle by a monopole field.



    There seems to be a way to produce a monopole by twisting up photons to form a quasiparticle that can come into resonance with the quarks inside a nucleus using the same monopole based communications path the quarks effect each other with inside the nucleus.


    This monopole analog disrupts things inside the proton by catalyzing proton decay.


    http://www.npl.washington.edu/AV/altvw01.html


    Quote

    Thus the monopole is the analog of a chemical catalyst. It is an agent provocateur. It wanders through matter stimulating proton decay and nuclear breakup without being changed itself. A single monopole can do this over and over again as rapidly as it can find its way into successive protons or nuclei. And with each such event, a quantity of energy is liberated which is far greater than that released in uranium fission. The implications of monopole catalysis are enormous. All matter, be it garbage or junk or gold ingots, becomes a source of unlimited energy. Given a suitable supply of monopoles the energy needs of the world are limited only by the supply of matter to be catalyzed into energy. If massive monopoles are ever found, they will be of incalculable worth for physical research and for energy production.


    Beyond their utility as producers of energy, monopoles could probably be used directly in a spaceship engine. There have already been studies by Robert W. Forward and others showing that antimatter annihilating with matter in a magnetic "hemi-bottle", an intense magnetic field pinched at one end and open at the other would serve as an extremely efficient spaceship drive. The problem is that the needed amount of antimatter fuel would require a truly staggering investment, because the antimatter would have to be manufactured by earth-based or orbiting "antiproton factories" of monumental size.


    The same basic scheme, however, could be applied using monopole catalysis. The "fuel" would then be atoms of normal matter caused to explode because their protons and neutrons undergo catalyzed decay as a flux of monopoles is passed through them. The hemi-bottle magnetic nozzle then provides the dual function of guiding the charged nuclear fragments from the exploded nuclei out the exhaust port of the engine and at the same time collecting the monopoles at the pinch point for re-use in the next engine cycle.


    Doesn't this sound just like what Holmlid is doing: producing subatomic particles(k-mesons) and billions of neutral atomic fragments moving outward at a substantial fraction of the speed of light. That sounds like an monopole powered LENR space engine to me.

  • Experimental Evidence on Rossi Devices

    Quote from Mary Yugo

    @axil
    There is no fuel, there is no core. There is only an electrical heater and some nondescript powder which is whatever Rossi wants to stick in there. Your shadows are not from a reactor core but from the electrical heater.


    Spy agencies? The Chinese and Russians getting a hold of it? Fantasy.


    The worst thing which could happen to Rossi will be that someone funding him will catch on to his farce and end it. But those folks seem pretty inept so it may be a while.


    Keep at it. The FUD you produce is doing Rossi nothing but good. The smoke that you blow is camouflage that hides Rossi from harm. At this current juncture, you are the best thing that Rossi has going for him. Rossi at work inside his containers.

    Quantum knots are real. Holmlid has found that Rydberg hydrogen matter is superconductive and also demonstrates the meissner effect. From nanoplasmonics, we also know that surface plasmon polaritons(SPP) will always formed on the surface of a long nano-string type nanoparticle and might well produce this superconductive nature to the rydberg matter via Bose Condensation. Knotted vortex circulation of photons in SPPs that are trapped in a photonic locked vortex circulation in a topological plasmoid could produce an effective analog monopole capable of destabilizing subatomic particles as seen in Holmlid experiments.


    The energy storage mechanism that absorbs energy from either a the LENR reaction's based positive feedback loop or stimulation that comes from heat, laser or arc discharge might entail the addition of additional photonic quantum knots to form in a plasmoid circulation. Like in any coil, we can always add more wire windings to a coil adding more magnetic power. So to with quantum knots, there is always room for more.


    See the article below to understand why a monopole will disrupt quark processes inside protons and neutrons which result in the production of mesons:

  • Experimental Evidence on Rossi Devices

    Quote from Thomas Clarke

    (1) As somone clearly wanting to proote LENR research i'm very surprised you want to promote Rossi
    (2) Rossi lives on internet comment. As with politicians, there is no such thing as bad publicity. after all, he has nothing substantial with which to promote himself.


    Rossi is independent at this current juncture. He has all the money that he needs and he lacks credibility although that credibility is growing. The worst thing to happen to Rossi's
    technology is that it becomes open source, or the Chinese or Russians get hold of it. The FUD is good to keep the spy agencies out of Rossi's computers. Without the prospects for future profits, Rossi's funding will dry up.


    I only want a tiny bit of Rossi's tech revealed to MFMP to run some science through it.

  • Experimental Evidence on Rossi Devices

    Quote from Tyy

    It is a funny [lexicon]conversation[/lexicon], because what happened in Lugano is best explained by a simple "sealed envelope trick".


    Rossi has managed to create an impression, that his e-cat produces energy, amazingly being able to trick some quite intelligent people also. If he can do that, surely he can convince the ones who desperately want to believe in miracles and fairy powered energy sources.


    No personal insults. You are making progress toward civilized social behavior. Keep up the good work. Your FUD is only helping Rossi keep a low profile. Please increase your efforts to protest Rossi in this way.

  • Experimental Evidence on Rossi Devices

    In the Lugano test, the heater wires were visible as dark shadows on a brighter core background. There is evidence that another substance like silicon dioxide aerogel held the fuel in place to distribute the fuel evenly over the core volume. What does the presence of a second unknown substance do to the arguments that Thomas Clarke is using to determine the reactor temperature by Alumina transparency.

  • beta hydride should be promoted

    Quote from magicsound

    Mats, the Hydrogen state discussed in that article probably isn't relevant to LENR. Their experiment used a pressure of 3 MILLION atmospheres at room temperature. Can a discrete breather (or anything else) in the lattice generate such extreme conditions? Seems unlikely.


    http://www.sciencedaily.com/re…/2014/12/141216123829.htm


    Carnegie's Ivan Naumov and Russell Hemley discover hydrogen forms grapheme layers/clusters instead of metal under pressure.


    This is an experimental validation of the Rydberg matter structure of hydrogen.


    Instead of high pressures, quantum mechanics can produce this ring structure using a principle called Rydberg Blockade.


    Potassium and/or lithium provides a quantum mechanical template that directs hydrogen to form in rings just like potassium does...or lithium.


    Holmlid uses quantum mechanics rather than pressure to form liquid hydrogen(AKA rydberg hydrogen matter).

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


    Tuesday, December 16, 2014—New work from Carnegie's Ivan Naumov and Russell Hemley delves into the chemistry underlying some surprising recent observations about hydrogen, and reveals remarkable parallels between hydrogen and graphene under extreme pressures. Their work is the cover story in the December issue of Accounts of Chemical Research.


    Hydrogen is the most-abundant element in the cosmos. With only a single electron per atom, it is deceptively simple. As a result, hydrogen has been a testing ground for theories of the chemical bond since the birth of quantum mechanics a century ago. Understanding the nature of chemical bonding in extreme environments is crucial for expanding our understanding of matter over the broad range of conditions found in the universe.


    Observing hydrogen’s behavior under very high pressures has been a great challenge for researchers. But recently teams have been able to observe that at pressures of 2-to-3.5 million times normal atmospheric pressure it transforms into an unexpected structure consisting of layered sheets, rather than a close-packed metal as had been predicted many years ago.


    These hydrogen sheets resemble the carbon compound graphene. Graphene's layers are each constructed of a honeycomb structure made of six-atom carbon rings. This conventional carbon graphene, first synthesized about a decade ago, is very light, but incredibly strong, and conducts heat and electricity very efficiently. These properties promise revolutionary technology, including advanced optical electronics for screens, high-functioning photovoltaic cells, and enhanced batteries and other energy storage devices.


    The new work from Naumov and Hemley shows that the stability of the unusual hydrogen structure arises from the intrinsic stability of its hydrogen rings. These rings form because of so-called aromaticity, which is well understood in carbon-containing molecules such as benzene, as well as in graphene. Aromatic structures take on a ring-like shape that can be thought of as alternating single and double bonded carbons. But what actually happens is that the electrons that make up these theoretically alternating bonds become delocalized and float in a shared circle around the inside of the ring, increasing stability.


    Naumov and Hemley’s study also indicates that hydrogen initially becomes a dark poorly conducting metal like graphite instead of a conventional shiny metal and a good conductor, as was originally suggested in theoretical calculations going back to the 1930’s using early quantum mechanical models for solids.


    Though the discovery of this layered sheet character of dense hydrogen has come as a surprise to many, chemists 30 years ago--before the discovery of graphene--predicted the structure based on simple chemical considerations. Their work is validated and extended by the new findings.


    "Overall, our results indicate that chemical bonding occurs over a much broader range of conditions than people had previously considered. However, the structural effects of that chemical bonding under extreme conditions can be very different than that observed under the ordinary conditions that are familiar to us,” Hemley said.

  • A Hypothesis Concerning the Connection Between the “Mössbauer Effect” and the “Rossi Effect” (Norman Cook)

    Quote from Tyy

    Cook is very good at producing hypothesis that are excellent examples of "not even wrong".


    Well, he is not a physicist, so maybe it is OK.



    You may be right on this but sadly that opinion does not include any thoughtful analysis. Such lack of considered opinion exposes you as a hopeless, hysterical hypochondriac of history of which this site has more than a full measure. We suffer more than our share of the these witless nattering nabobs of negativism.

  • Cambridge University Professor Huw Price on the ‘Reputation Trap’ of Cold Fusion (Update: Response in Popular Mechanics)

    From the work of J fisher and team, using CR39 it is possible to determine the type of particle, the energy of the particle, the direction that the particle was going, and if the particle is produced by background radiation or the LENR reaction.


    This CR39 method is currently used at CERN to detect for the generation of monopoles. J Fisher has detected the telltale signature of monopoles but his interpretation of this particular type of track is one produced by Radon. On this we disagree.
