And does not make it any more less true..

I actually thought it noteworthy to add that

. Dash requested the data withdrawn,, but to my reading

Shoulders did not withdraw it...

..

Has Axil any evidence of the non ubiquitous EVO in electrolytic LENR..

since the dubious 1996 stuff by Shoulders

or for that matter in any of the current alloy powder LENR work

done by Takahashi/Celani/Clean Planet et al

which is more than quantum handwaves?

As Ken Shoulders asserts, the LENR reaction is produced by EVOs. This is the theme of this thread.

Quote from RobertBryant

Axil"He believed that EVO's were not only relevant but responsible for LENR"

Belief is not science

the sketchy evidence for electrolytic LENR EVO was requested to be

withdrawn by Dash...

but Shoulders retained it

He did not comply with Dash's request..but stuck with his belief

Shoulder's did zero work on electrolytic LENR

""Note entered 2/19/03 John Dash has requested the removal of data relating to his work on the grounds that his samples were likely contaminated during a metallurgical rolling process thus weakening the claims of transmutation. Although adequate warning of such an effect is included in this paper, the authors gladly comply with the request of John Dash and leave the data intact but add this additional warning as to the interpretation of the data. John Dash is not to be held responsible for any data presented.

You said this before. Repeating yourself does not make the statement more meaningful.

Quote from PhysicsForDummies

The ignorant are never embarrassed by their stupidity.

Stupidity has a dark side. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a theologian and philosopher, believed that a stupid person is often more dangerous than an evil one.

Ignorant means lacking knowledge or education. It can also mean knowing little or nothing, or being uninformed about a particular subject.

Some say that ignorance is a lack of knowledge or understanding. It can also be a culturally-induced phenomenon, called agnotology.

Some say that "ignorant" means you just haven't had experience with or exposure to something. Others say that "stupid" is knowing about your ignorance but not doing anything about it.

But there is always hope. Some ways to overcome ignorance include:

• Feeding your mind with digestible information
• Asking yourself honest, yet sometimes uncomfortable questions
• Collaborating with others
• Constantly looking for alternative opinions
• Curbing the impulse to assign judgments to events

Ignorance - Wikipedia

The Dunning-Kruger effect fits you like a glove.

Quote

Another effect of ignorance is characterized by the Dunning-Kruger effect, named after the scientists David Dunning and Justin Kruger in 1999. This theory centralizes the behavior of subjects regarding their intellectual capabilities and social behaviors. The limited information or competence of people that possess the Dunning-Kruger translates into a feeling of intellectual superiority.

The good thing about Axil's posts is I never realized before how much of a crackpot Shoulders became in later years.

RE: Ken Shoulders ; The Man Who Made Black Holes

This is a major piece Alan. Thanks for this. Ken's work needs to be remembered. He believed that EVO's were not only relevant but responsible for LENR. Where there are plasmas and voltage spikes there are EVO's. You are right - he could be grumpy. But he was always understated. I knew him for >35 years and never knew him to be wrong about anything he stated with certainty.

You really should stop bloviating, you're only embarrassing yourself.

Quote from Curbina

I have said that, for me, these results are consistent with previous ones that I have been studying for long time. Probably the closest ones are those published by Cardone et al of accelerated decay of Thorium by means of ultrasound treatment (treatment that we know creates conditions that are comparable to the SAFIRE reactor, albeit in a more limited space within the aqueous volume than the SAFIRE reactor) which was published and came under strong attacks back then (two different papers published in retort to the authors). More recently, the same team this time published about the accelerated decay of radioactive Nickel, In this case they also reported apparent transmutations of other dissolved elements comparing between before and after treatment.

I have attached a couple of the relevant publications (2009 one is about thorium and 2020 one is for Nickel).

You must realize that accelerated radioactive decay implies that the LENR reaction is changing the way the weak force laws of nature work. Have you considered how this change could be happening?

In the transmutation results from SAFIRE III, all the transmuted elements were stable. Have you considered how an element thorium that is radioactive for 10s of billions of years can be made stable in a few minutes?

Quote from Mark Pinnell

It's like banging your head against a brick wall...

The nature of spacetime was the subject of Einstein's equation for general relativity. There are a ten sections of these equations and they are very hard to solve.

Einstein field equations - Wikipedia

But over time various solutions to these equations were discovered. All but one of the various types of spacetimes that I mentioned in the past post are theoretical. But here in the study of LENR at least one previously conjectured Einsteinian spacetimes will be identified. There is major work in science now based on these spacetimes, but by using the EVO the Anti De-Sutter spacetime (AdS) will now be available for science to study experimentally.

(AdS) space-time is a maximally symmetric solution to Einstein's field equations with a negative cosmological constant

It is one of the simplest solutions to Einstein's gravity.

The Einstein equations for curvature of spacetime are:

Ricci tensor

: R_mu_nuRicci scalar

: RMetric tensor

: g_mu_nuStress energy momentum tensor

: T_mu_nu

The equation for the local radius of curvature at a point in spacetime is:

R(x)=1r(x)2

The AdS space equation is:

Rμν−12gμνR+Λgμν=0,Λ<0

The AdS space solution of the Einstein equation is:

ds2=−(1+L2r~2)dt2+(1+L2r~2)−1 dr~2+r~2 dθ2+r~2sin2θdϕ2

AdS space is a maximally symmetric space, meaning that no point of spacetime can be distinguished from other points. The geometric properties of the universe are the same everywhere

Quote from Mark Pinnell

"An approximation to such vacuum is a region with a gaseous pressure much less than atmospheric pressure."

SAFIRE III is aqueous and gaseous mix produced by electrolysis operating at around 10psi which is way above atomospheric pressure, so no SAFIRE III is not operating within your vacuum definition.

I should have used a more descriptive term such as spacetime, my bad. There are different types of spacetimes.

In physics, there are two types of spacetime: Minkowski spacetime and curved spacetime.

Minkowski spacetime is a flat, four-dimensional spacetime that describes the motion of objects in special relativity

In Minkowski spacetime, the trajectories of particles are straight lines in an inertial coordinate system

.

Curved spacetime is the opposite of Minkowski spacetime. The fabric of spacetime can be imagined as a plane that can be curved into a sphere, a saddle, or a flat surface. In each case, the curvature of spacetime would be positive, negative, or flat, respectively.

Spacetime can be measured as a distance (in meters) or time (in seconds). In flat spacetime, the time between two events can be measured by an observer as an interval (measured in seconds) or a distance (in meters).

Quote from Curbina

This is a move in the right direction IMHO, but also one that will be resisted as throws anything classic out the window and introduces the complexity of many body interactions that very few people want to wrap their minds around.

There has been, is, and will be, rigorous resistance from the intellectually lazy to the complexity regime. The lazy. will fight furiously to keep things simple (aka fusion).

Quote from Curbina

Now, seeing the table that David Nygren clipped from the video (I hope to have time to watch the video again and get some clips of the results shown briefly before) I see why Calcium was so highlighted, the increase of concentration from none to 437 mg/L (I am assuming these are the units, as is the usual used to provide concentrations from ICP MS results) is remarkable, The other remarkable result is the increase of Nickel from 0 to 366 mg/L. This is due to commercial reasons, both calcium and Nickel are commercially attractive as by products. From this point of view, Increase of copper is also significant. I am thinking of recovery of these metals from the treated fracking water, this can be done with Ion Exchange selectively, it would make a great new resource. 366 mg Ni/L means you can potentially get 366 grams of Ni per cubic meter, and at 7,5 USD/ pound, sounds nice.

Iron is by far the most abundant new element in the processed sample (over 706 mg/L) but is of relative less economic importance, so that's why I don't highlight it.

As with any system where transmutation is occurring, the percentage of transmuted elements vary over time because these various transmuted elements are continually being reformed over and over again. The transmutation of elements stops when the reactor is shutdown, and the transmuted elements accumulated on the electrode reflex the random state of element mixing at the time of shutdown. Varying times of shutdown will produce differing element mixing percentages as well as the addition of new elements in the mix over time as well as the disappearance of other elements in the mix over time.

If mining for transmuted elements is desired, a liquid electrode might be used in which on-the-fly element extraction is preformed (like the SunCell) much in the fashion of how molten salt thorium reactors work. I predict that the SAFIRE reactor 3 will have issues with electrode distrution much like what had occurred in the SunCell where the solid electrode was replaced with a liquid electrode to stop electrode failure.

If the SAFIRE system is to be used for element mining, on-the-fly element extraction is required much like what is done in the molten salt reactor tech as follows:

Quote from Wyttenbach

Luckily in cold fusion/LENR mostly stable isotopes are produced. And alpha radiation is completely harmless unless you inhale/eat the isotope! But working with 232Th needs high security in place as the potential radioactive garbage still is very high.

i researched U232 as a means of proliferation resistance to U233 bomb production. U232 makes a U233 bomb untenable. But transmutation can remove U232 from U233 and therefore lead to the usability of a U235 gun type bomb mechanism for U233. In this way LENR is very dangerous.

Quote from Mark Pinnell

SAFIRE II operated in a vacuum (mTorr). SAFIRE III is operating around 10psi. Maybe you're vacuum and mine are a little different.

I am refereeing to this vacuum

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…oms%20per%20cubic%20meter.

In quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, the vacuum is defined as the state (that is, the solution to the equations of the theory) with the lowest possible energy (the ground state of the Hilbert space). In quantum electrodynamics this vacuum is referred to as 'QED vacuum' to distinguish it from the vacuum of quantum chromodynamics, denoted as QCD vacuum. QED vacuum is a state with no matter particles (hence the name), and no photons. As described above, this state is impossible to achieve experimentally. (Even if every matter particle could somehow be removed from a volume, it would be impossible to eliminate all the blackbody photons.) Nonetheless, it provides a good model for realizable vacuum, and agrees with a number of experimental observations as described next.

QED vacuum has interesting and complex properties. In QED vacuum, the electric and magnetic fields have zero average values, but their variances are not zero.^[34] As a result, QED vacuum contains vacuum fluctuations (virtual particles that hop into and out of existence), and a finite energy called vacuum energy. Vacuum fluctuations are an essential and ubiquitous part of quantum field theory. Some experimentally verified effects of vacuum fluctuations include spontaneous emission and the Lamb shift.^[18] Coulomb's law and the electric potential in vacuum near an electric charge are modified.^[35]

Theoretically, in QCD multiple vacuum states can coexist.^[36] The starting and ending of cosmological inflation is thought to have arisen from transitions between different vacuum states. For theories obtained by quantization of a classical theory, each stationary point of the energy in the configuration space gives rise to a single vacuum. String theory is believed to have a huge number of vacua – the so-called string theory landscape.

Quote from Wyttenbach

If you are interested in classic 232-Th fission reaction outcomes the look at.https://www.researchgate.net/p…ith_Medium-Energy_Protons

But a 232Th reactor cannot run on its alone first you must convert it to 233U. Finally you produce the same mess as any other reactor::

When thorium-232 is irradiated in a nuclear reactor, it produces protactinium-233. Protactinium-233 is a precursor to uranium-233, a fissile and energy-producing isotope.

Protactinium is a dangerous, highly radioactive alpha emitter that requires precautions similar to those used when handling plutonium.

Thorium can generate more fissile material (uranium-233) than it consumes while fueling a water cooled or molten salt reactor. It also generates fewer long-lived minor actinides than plutonium fuels. But U232 is also produced which is the most dangerous transuranic byproduct known. If the SAFIRE crew was producing thorium based fission, they would be dead in seconds.

Quote from Mark Pinnell

Maybe Th232 can run on it's own with a little zap in the right environment.

The SAFIRE three reactor does not seem to have produced a city sized mushroom cloud. The vacuum reaction does not produce any energy through transmutation. The two vacuum states are sequestered from each other where the energy of the reaction goes into producing an Anti-De Sutter (Ads) black hole. If you think that this reconfiguration of elements as an action of the vacuum process is fanciful, keep in mind that the conversion of any element into any set of other elements without the production of energy can be explained with the application of common sense or other known atomic processes is not to be expected.

Quote from Mark Pinnell

Just add electricity. =)

The SAFIRE system is a macro sized Bose Einstein Condensate (BEC)of polaritons.

Observation of false vacuum decay via bubble formation in ferromagnetic superfluid

This experiment has shown that an atomic based BEC can produce "false vacuum decay". As shown in the SAFIRE systems, we in the LENR community can produce Exciton-polariton gas and liquid based BECs that also produce modified vacuum states. It is more than adding electricity. What SAIRE has done is produce a BEC which is only a large sized exotic vacuum object (EVO).

We in the LENR community are far and away more advanced in our experimental methods over what is going on in science since we are not constrained by near zero temperatures in creating our BECs.

The THOR system is another LENR application of vacuum decay where the carbon in CO2 is mostly destroyed with the remainder transmuted into calcium, sulfur, and oxygen. By the way, the Thor system does not use electricity to produce the vacuum reaction.

Quote from David Nygren

Exciting development

New elements / transmutation at 45:30

It is apparent from the description in the video above of the operation of this new SAFIRE device, that the LENR fusion MEME is misguided and not correct. The transmutation of thorium seen here in the video above shows that there is a radical and yet recognized process producing transmutation that takes hundreds of billions of years to occur in just minutes.

Thorium half life is 14 billion years as stated in the video above, but radioactive decay is not occurring. Thorium is being transmuted into 14 other elements within minutes. Fusion and fission aside, there is another process that is producing transmutation. I posit that this process is vacuum decay.

Vacuum decay is a theoretical idea in physics and cosmology that suggests the universe could undergo a catastrophic change to a different, more stable state.

Popular Mechanics

How a False Vacuum Could Destroy the Universe With Terrifying Efficiency

But don't worry, scientists might be wrong.

www.popularmechanics.com

In simple terms, vacuum decay is the idea that the universe within the SAFIRE device reaction chamber could transition to a different vacuum state of lower energy and type. This would happen if things spontaneously moved into the lowest possible vacuum energy field and cosmological topology. The Higgs field would change or be destroyed inside the chamber, and the new, more stable field would spread, changing the physics of the universe inside the SAFIRE chamber to operate in an undefined manor.

In particle physics, the Higgs field exhibits a false vacuum, meaning it has not yet occupied its true zero-point energy. This is like a ball rolling down a hill getting caught on a ledge rather than making it all the way into the valley below.

This bubble of vacuum decay would instantiate within the active SAFIRE reaction chamber that would reorganize the elements therein based on undefined laws of a new physics that is being created by a new configuration of the vacuum.

I recognize that the power to change the universe implied in this development is unsettling but get hold of yourselves and try to adjust as best that you can.

If you want to know how the EVO works, it is important to understand these fundamentals of particle physics. Manipulation of these fundamentals provide the mechanisms that allow particles to change their nature and behavior.

Ken shoulders did not invent descriptions of EVO's fanciful behavior out of whole cloth. His observations were based on his research. In this article, Shoulders explains how the EVO can be used in advanced technologies. We have not seen some of these capabilities yet but it is amazing that Ken has.

Quote

Ken in paragraph 1 claims as follows:

What It Is: A fanciful sounding mode for communicating information and physical matter is becoming available by using EVOs, or synthetic WIMPs, as a form of information-bearing projectile. These will be capable of rapidly traversing galactic distances and being directed with the selectivity afforded only projectiles. For all intent and purposes, it is a homemade, miniature black hole that has temporarily “swallowed” ordinary matter as information and that will regurgitate it later upon proper association with another of its kind. This is definitely teleportation but it is not yet telekinesis of the psychic kind. It is an extremely selective process but one needed when transferring information throughout the very noisy Universe and it is certainly a great improvement over electromagnetic messaging methods.

Ken states that the EVO can be used as a container for information. Matter can be encoded to record data then loaded into a EVO and latter retrieved upon demand. It's in effect teleportation of matter. We have seen matter enter an EVO but we have not yet been able to extract that matter without its transmutation. This matter storage claim implies that matter can be retained without any modification within a black hole. The retrieval method is based on a technique that uses another EVO to action some sort of reclamation process that preserves information fidelity.

In the LION pencil like reactor meltdown, we have seen after the fact, silver move from the tip of the reactor to near its end. Ken states that he can cause matter to move to a place he desires at will. The matter being transported is sequestered and can't be affected by any disruptive interference from a noisy Universe.

Quote from RobertBryant

unfortunately the sketchy 1996 evidence for EV or NEV or EVO in electrolytic LENR from Dash's samples may well have been due to impurities from rolling..

We have new evidence of element reformation and transmutation from EVOs from multiple systems in the form of hollow thin walled crenellated balls that ranger in diameter from nanometers to microns that are proportional in size to the EVOs that produced these balls.
