/* the more stable the Bose-Einstein condensate of hydrogen isotopes */

I wouldn't call the condensate or Rydberg matter the stuffs which occur during fusion, no matter how cold it is. It's more exact to call it degenerate matter

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

It's true, the atoms are heavily entangled mutually inside such a matter in similar way, like the atoms within boson condensates, but this artifact is very unstable and it decays fast.
The difference is just in temperature dependence: the degenerate matter likes it hot, whereas the boson condensates or Rydberg matter are sensitive to heat instead...

/* The fundamental engineering challenge is to remove heat from a reaction zone fast enough to keep the temperature down */

This is just what the Astroblaster model solves: the thin rods of dense matter formed during linear collisions of atom nuclei serves as both effective absorber energy, both its radiator into an outside.
Despite the conventional wisdom, the absorbtion of neutrons or gamma rays with matter is quite stochastic and rare process: there is lotta place at the bottom, as Feynman once said.
It means that the neutron or gamma ray photon must pass many atoms before it will finally hit something, because atom nuclei are tiny with respect to distance between atoms.

The nuclear collisions during cold fusion are different: the long chains of entangled atoms get arranged along straight line and the photons or neutron get absorbed along these lines too.
Their absorption is therefore very effective and it's finished after short path. In addition, such a rod-like artifacts have large surface area and they're cooling fast with thermal collisions with another atoms, before they decay.
It makes big difference in comparison to pin-point collisions inside hot plasmas, where the energy of collision must release and spread from a single point. It leads into radiation of many particles with high energy, which is the main source of energy loss during hot fusion (not to say about their radiation effects).

/* When there is no known example or observation described in the literature, it is the proof that we are doing research. When there is an example, you are only doing bibliography. */

This applies only to experiments, not theories: the physics is experimentally driven science and the experiment has always the very last word there. If your theory doesn't work, then it just doesn't work - end of story.

What's worse, the boson condensate theory not only does suffer with lack of experimental evidence, but it also suffers with overwhelming excess of experimental counter-evidence: all existing research shows, that the cold fusion runs the better, the higher temperature is - which contradicts the boson condensate theory (which requires cooling). The existence of counter-evidence is not equivalent to the lack of evidence and instead of it it's the proof, you're doing fables instead of research.

/* Excess temperature of 300K does not change ANYTHING for LENRs. But a 300K temperature below ambient temperature changes everything: it can appear Bose-Einstein condensates, and fusion energy can be get transferred to these BECs. */

Unfortunately for your theory there is no known example or observation described in the literature, when the yield of cold fusion reaction would get lowered by decreasing of temperature instead of increasing it.
It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't agree with experiments, it's wrong.

[Chemical and nuclear catalysis driven by localized anharmonic vibrations](https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1602/1602.02277.pdf)

IMO cold fusion runs due to synergy of multiple mechanisms, but the low-dimensional collisions of multiple atom nuclei in a single moment ("crystal lattice Astroblaster effect") are the most dominant factor there. Otherwise most of cold fusion theorists agree already, that the some kind of Mossbauer lattice effects gets heavily involved in cold fusion. These effects work similar way like the laser (anti-Stokes scattering) and they enable the local concentration of energy from multiple coincidental vibrations. But until we don't include low-dimensional aspects of lattice vibrations, then the predicted rate of cold fusion doesn't differ very much from pure statistical one, which is very low (http://www.e-catworld.com/2014…y-by-carl-oscar-gullstrom).

Electron-assisted fusion
https://www.reddit.com/r/Physi…ntional_source_of/cl8nnf8

The above theory covers the anharmonic aspect of low-dimensionals collisions, but it doesn't explain, how to achieve this anharmonicity (analogy of rogue waves at the ocean). It just shows, that under general circumstances the system of quantum oscillators described with Schrodinger equation could achieve the energy levels required for activation of cold fusion and it predicts the resonance at the hundreds terrahertz spectrum, which is IMO too high in comparison with experimentally observed values in similar way, like the similar Znidarscic theory. (http://www.angelfire.com/scifi2/zpt) (compare also discussion here http://www.e-catworld.com/2016…-frequencies-in-the-e-cat)

According to this theory which both atom nuclei, both the orbitals behave like the elastic bodies across which longitudinal and transverse waves resonate mutually. Frank derived the characteristic frequency of this resonance at the case of so-called impedance matching: under such a condition the orbitals undulate heavily together with atom nuclei in standing waves, which would enable the merging of atom nuclei by selective resonance tunneling. I presume, multiple atom orbitals could undulate at the same moment being entangled - so that Znidarscic's predictions of resonance frequencies are somewhat higher, than these experimentally observed - nevertheless the principle remains the same.

For to understand this comment well, there are multiple ways, how to estimate the yield of fusion reaction with activation barrier at the range of MeV at the temperature given (thermodynamics equipartition theorem, virial theorem or tunneling probability theory of quantum mechanics) - but their predictions don't differ very much each other and they lead to nonrealistic low yield of cold fusion reaction. You should introduce some trick, or the predictions of quantum mechanics will not differ from pure thermodynamics, because at the energy levels given the system behaves in merely classical way (many atoms must be entangled for to concentrate their energy, so that the system behaves classically in essence). After then we can forget the quantum mechanics and to utilize classical mechanics instead.

At the case of metal lattices this trick is in amazingly regular structure of atom nuclei, which are arranged in perfect lines due to crystal lattice, which is otherwise impossible to provide in artificial way. So that their collisions will differ very pronouncedly from any other statistics, which doesn't involve this regularity factor - they can behave like solid state laser for phonons (phaser?). Until this factor is not involved in the theory, then it doesn't matter if you use quantum theory or classical mechanics: your predictions will be always too low for to explain cold fusion effect in sufficiently convincing way.

/* Kaku one month ago: "Cold Fusion - I'm open about it", see 1:25 into this video:m.facebook.com/story.php?story…10153610046843527%2F&_rdr */

Hindsight is 20-20: After wit is every body's wit. In Czech we have a proverb: "After a battle everyone is a general." IMO Kaku is an actor, not a scientist.

/* Mr. Kachiu is a TV entertainer, it is difficult to blame him : he reflect the opinion of the mainstream. */

It's like to say, it's difficult to blame Hitler as he "just" reflected the opinion of most Germans in his time (or Putin with respect to 80% of Russians today, etc...). Just the fact, the same guy has been engaged in string theory speaks for itself. Nobody of string theorists can occupy the physically realistic stance: with cold fusion or without it.

/* That doesn't make him an idiot, but the behavior is idiotic */

Abduckive reasoning: If something looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck...

/* are you saying Carl Sagan, Stephen Hawking, Neil deGrasse Tyson and Brian Cox are paid trolls rather than honest serious scientists and physicists */

This is your private extrapolation, which I leave without comment, but the cold fusion findings (and many others) are left without attempts for replication for nearly once century with community of honest serious scientists and physicists, despite their importance for future progress of human civilization is quite obvious.

Nowhere in human history the mainstream science ignored the practically important findings so obstinately - not even during medieval times.
We should draw some conclusion from this situation - sooner or later. The situation with mainstream science is not good at all, as you may guess from many citations herein

Michio Kaku is a well known priest i.e. popularizer of mainstream physics - such a guys tend to concentrate all negative aspects of establishment, like the pluralistic ignorance bias, superficiality and ignorance. It's like to ask bishop or catholic church preacher for his opinion about evolution or let say heliocentric model - his opinion would be biased even more, than the opinion of the rest of society, because these people are payed just for their trolling at public (Carl Sagan, Stephen Hawking, Neil deGrasse Tyson or Brian Cox belong in this cathegory).

/* Rydberg atoms are essentially ions since the far out electron hardly feels the nuclear coulomb force */

This is also my problem with Holmlid's description of LENR with using of Rydberg matter, because it involves the electrons at the bottom layers/orbitals of atoms - not these outside ones.

The absorption of gamma rays during cold fusion would require the temporal formation of worm hole along long lines of colliding nuclei, the formation of which could be explained in similar mechanism, like the above force carrier during splitting of Be-8 nuclei. This nuclei is also elongated as it consists of two He-4 subnuclei. https://www.reddit.com/r/Physi…fth_force_of_nature_again
Another effect, which could relate the dark photons to the cold fusion is the monopole character of the jets and magnetic fields, observed during some LENRs. The dark matter also exhibit the anapole character, being formed with temporal particles, the life-time of which is shorter than dipole life-time. We could imagine the dark photon like the vortex ring, which is propagating along connection line of colliding atom nuclei, once it reaches its end, it decays and it propagates further like the anapole or scalar wave.

/* once you have an arc formed, the arc is highly conductive and acts like a dead short */

Note that Me356 used very low/HF discharge at his last pictures: no sparks, no arcs... If you want to replicate something, you should look at it first.

/* fusion yes but not fission */

The both - you cannot expect, the speed of Uranium fission can be affected by its heating at stove. Only temperatures close to million degrees of centigrade could affect the nuclear fission.

The interesting aspect of fission of fusion therefore is, it can be affected with neutrinos and scalar waves in much greater extent - on this experience for example my theory of global warming is based. We should therefore expect similar effect even during cold fusion. The scalar waves are formed by aperiodic discharges and electromagnetic noise, which would explain its positive effect to cold fusion.

One theory of this anomalous behavior is presented here http://physicsworld.com/cws/ar…uses-on-neutrons#comments The neutrons are famous by their disappearance in magnetic field. I presume, it's a manifestation of weak charge oscillations (i.e. the analogy of neutrino oscillations - just inside the neutrons instead of free space) and we already have some experimental indicia for this hypothesis. http://www.nature.com/nature/j…3/n7197/full/453864a.html There is still quite lotta stuffs, which the mainstream physicists are not aware of.

/* Fine, but where are the gammas and neutrons produced by the 9 MeV alphas travelling in the Li? */

The reaction Li7+H1->Be8->2He4 + 17 MeV is aneutronic, if I calculate well. At second, I already explained here, that the same mechanism which catalyzes the reaction (by strong local acceleration of source component of LENR) leads into deceleration of products of reaction and their absorption within lattice. It's mirror-like symmetric process acceleration and braking.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Physi…gy_particles_from/d2fr2yf

What the physicists also don't understand is, how the quantum mechanics applies in cold fusion. The acceleration and compression of atom nuclei along straight line creates very dense area of vacuum formed by their conjugated pilot waves - the atom nuclei get entangled for a moment and the resulting dense area of vacuum behaves like the tunnel or worm hole. It therefore acts like the waveguide for resulting gamma ray photons and prohibits them to escape from reaction zone by total reflection mechanism.

In my theory the collinear character of collision also applies in similar way, like the formation of dark matter filaments along collinear galaxies. We can observe similar phenomena during solar eclipses and planetary conjunction (Allais effect). The high concentration of scalar waves presented here acts there like the scratching of surface of liquid metal droplets or like their immersion into a more dense fluid: it makes the merging of atom nuclei easier because the vacuum momentarily behaves nearly as dense there, as the surface of atom nuclei, which eliminates their surface tension and activation energy barrier required for their merging.

The Astroblaster effect or electron shielding are therefore just two pieces of the more complex puzzle. The blind pushing of one theory against all other explanations therefore has no chance for success here: we already have over sixty theories of cold fusion, and none of them works well, because they all deal only with particular aspect of cold fusion each. Whereas the final result is enabled by synergy of multiple effects.

/* Remembering that threshold initiation temperatures are exceedingly common in many chemical reactions and always impacted by co constituents */

Well, exactly - in chemical reactions operating at the eV scale - but not nuclear reactions, which run at the MeV scales. Their thresholds occur at the million Kelvin scales.

Still no explanation of temperature dependence of LENR. Also the spatial characteristic of your antennas remains much wider than the LENR jets. Even the best theories can get occasionally killed with uncomfortable experimental details (oder of Venus phases - do you remember?).

It also excludes Widom-Larsen theory as it requires spontaneous p + e -> n, what needs investing/gathering 762keVs - is completely improbable in LENR scale of temperatures

The best experiment explaining cold fusion mechanism is described here (http://www.diva-portal.org/sma…iva2:52651/FULLTEXT01.pdf). It generates heat during shotting of deuterons toward surface of molten lithiun under voltage of few kilovolts.

Data supports the possibility that Li7+H1->Be8->2He4 + 17 MeV fusion is one of the main contributors to the excess energy. In accordance with it the injecting of deuterons into a molten lithium leads into formation of heat and huge amount of alpha particles - at five thousands of volts only. But only at the temperature of lithium few degrees above melting point (180.54 °C), not above. Once the lithium gets hotter just a bit more (200 - 250 °C), then the reaction stops,

So that not only we have nuclear reaction initiated with few kilovolts of energy - but this reaction can be even controlled with minute temperature changes - which is really something! This products of reaction don't differ from normal fusion reaction, so no nuclear transmutation actually happens there. So, which physics is behind such an anomaly? The explanation must be not only able to explain, why the nuclear reaction runs at all, but also, why it is so incredibly sensitive to temperature. The Boltzmann distribution of energy cannot account into such a behavior at all - and any attempt to apply it right here would be ridiculous instead.

Please also note, that my explanation is not "ridiculous" as it's based on common life "hamster" mechanics. I don't use any esoteric physics based on unobserved-yet phenomena like the monopoles, Rydberg matter, heavy neutrons and similar stuff.

Here we are talking about spontaneously gathering of 10^6 times larger energy than expected by thermodynamics - if you don't have a very concrete amplification mechanism (flying hamster is not enough), we are talking about universal Boltzmann distribution of energy. There can happen high energy particles, but they are more likely to collide, equalizing energy with other particles.

I just explained above that the 13 MHz (i.e. 5.10E-8 eV) radiowaves can also split the water molecule (which requires 1.25 eV) - which gives energy ratio even higher: 10^8 times. And the reaction runs quite massively and you can ignite the resulting hydrogen with lighter, when 200 W generator gets used. John Kanzius even told, that the amount of hydrogen evolved implies an overunity, which I'm opened to believe, because if we put 200 Watts into a common electrolyzer, then the amount of hydrogen would be barely enough to ignite. No Boltzmann statistics can account into 100% yield of hydrogen.

like linear antenna it could produce cylindrically symmetric EM impulse, solving the problem

The problem is, the LENR often produces no gamma, not to say in "cylindrically symmetric EM impulses" (WTF is it supposed to mean? - no dipole antenna would produce such a shape of EM signal). Instead of it, whole the energy gets absorbed and thermalized inside the lattice - which is impossible to explain, if we insist that "it practically doesn't matter if atoms are in crystal or amorphous".

I'm posting it here all the time, as it's fundamental with respect to my understanding of cold fusion

https://www.reddit.com/r/Physi…gy_particles_from/d2fr2yf

I'm not expert on these things but you should definitely find something cheaper http://www.hvdiode.com/index.htm or to improvise it http://www.jonshobbies.com/hom…er-strings-of-diodes.html The diodes should be well balanced/selected with respect to their leakage current at nominal voltage. The soldered diode chain should be covered with molten parafine and adjusted into a air-tight heat-shrink tubing for to prevent corona discharge and runaway breakdown of diodes in stack. The sharp tips of solder (as pictured bellow) should be avoided in general, as they may lead into discharge at distance. But honestly, I don't think that the cold fusion requires such high voltages to run at all, as we already have experimental evidence of massive fusion of deuterons in lithium just under 4 kVolts.

/* I don't think many on this forum will agree with that statement. I realize you have your own personal theory, and... */

The majority just asks for occupation so that it tends to ignore every progress, which would threat the perspective of further research. Because once the final solution is accepted, then the research ends, as Robert Wilson expressed clearly in his final speech to APS community

http://i.imgur.com/oencp2J.gif

The mainstream physicists don't give a sh*t about progress and perspective of human civilization, they just care about perspective of their own research. This pluralistic ignorance attitude is very subliminal and widespread and we can observe it even at this liberal forum (which opposes the mainstream in essence): most of people here prefer to twaddle about nonsenses rather than think about real explanations. It's their free will and decision indeed - but exactly the same attitude has lead into one century standing ignorance of cold fusion, antigravity and overunity findings.

Many people simply love mysteries more than their rational explanations. We should always put the question, if we don't like the asking more than listening of answers.

/* However the rest of your LENR theory is I think: Conjecture. If you can prove it, then: "Great, congrats!" */

I already provided at least three experiments proving this conjecture, but you simply don't read and listen (yea, I know - it's not your fault, the pluralistic ignorance just strikes again). Just the fact that LENR is so affected by changes of temperature speaks for it. You may for example rise the theories about shielding with electrons, about boson condensates etc. - but why just heating above 1000 °C leads into runaway and escape of electrons? The alternative mechanisms proposed are way less sensitive to temperature.
