QuoteThe issue us that quantization of charge on these bubbles appears to require fractional electron charge
Where quantization of charge on these bubbles occurs (link)? What is observed are quantized states of these bubbles, but these bubbles still contain the very same charge.

Could you get more specific? Google returns zero number of results for this termite...
QuoteCollapse is an anthropomorphic idea forced only because we subjectively experience this
Nope, it's real measurable phenomena and it cannot be derived from (time dependent) Schrodinger equation of single quantum object - this result is thus adhoced in every quantum simulation of single quantum object. If some theory cannot predict outcome of experiment from its fundamental equation, it just means its formulation is incomplete and physics thus "needs" to complete it.
What I'm saying is, everything what one has to do is the quantum simulation of two objects, not just single one, because every observation (not just quantum one) is result of interaction of two objects. Such a wrong ansatz and misunderstanding of problem cannot be replaced by philosophical twaddling that "physics doesn't actually need it". Quantum mechanics can actually handle it quite completely without any philosophy. For example it can precisely simulate establishing of entanglement between pair of objects fixed in certain distance.
Coulomb explosion isn't LENR - or did I miss something in the article?
QuoteTriggering LENR is quite an other story as LENR needs no triggering, it needs support to remove the excess energy
How did you get into it? It's like to say, that LENR doesn't run, until we cool the system - whereas most LENR systems enjoy heating.
If you don't believe me, try to answer this (easier) question first: "What does happen during quantum entanglement?"
And you'll see, that the explanation of wave function collapse follows naturally from the answer.
QuoteIt's basically this: "How does wave function collapse occur?" I think it's the result of an optical Fourier transform.
It's consequence of mutual interaction of wave functions of observer and object observed. Despite quantum mechanics doesn't mention it explicitly, one cannot exclude wave function of observer from thoughts. In dense aether model collapse of wave function occurs, when wave function of observer gets synchronized in phase with wave function of object observed. Once both waves undulate in unison, no relative undulation can be observed and both objects get actually entangled. Collapse of wave function is actually normal consequence of entanglement, just observed from perspective of observer.
I already explained here, that nothing counterintuitive is about electron bubbles in helium and whole this problem is actually handled well by quantum mechanics.
The basis of my theory are observations, that magnetic fields, scalar waves and neutrinos affect speed of nuclear reactions. Magnetic field is indeed too weak for being able to affect nuclear reactions directly, in scalar wave physics it can concentrate particles (scalar waves and neutrinos), which already have such an ability. You can imagine it like effect of wind to location of paratroopers landing: wind is too weak for being able to affect heavy person and parachute (to which such a person is attached) is too lightweight for to make significant impact. But connection of both bodies already enables the both. In dense aether model the neutrinos are surrounded by invisible scalar ("magnetic") charge, which has much larger scope than weak charge of neutrinos and interacts strongly with magnetic field. The magnetic field thus affects the propagation of neutrinos in similar way, like charge field affects path of electrons and pair of bucking magnets behaves like optical lens for them.
In dense aether model neutrinos are solitons of scalar waves in similar way, like photons are solitons of light waves. They don't interact very strongly with observable matter, but due to high density of nuclear matter the speed of their propagation gets greatly slowed down at the center of atoms. Here I presume, that neutrinos can get trapped by atom nuclei and they could bounce across it like standing waves, which they're also oscillate by itself (disappear and reappear periodically). When resonance condition of both periodic effects is met, the even subtle neutrino can affect nuclear reactions significantly, because it can bounce from inner surface of atom nuclei multiple-times.
In droplet model of atom nuclei nuclear reactions can be compared to coalescing of mercury droplets: their interaction requires temporal formation of thin neck with strong negative space-time curvature, which will initiate their merging (activation energy). And weak charge of neutrinos or neutrons serves here like tiny bubble of vacuum of strong negative space-time curvature. Another option is, the weak charge of neutrinos breaks CP symmetry of strong force and nonradiation condition of excited states, which usually prohibits in their interaction. The magnetic field thus doesn't affect speed of nuclear reactions directly, but it focuses neutrinos, which can already catalyze them.
Dark matter’s shadowy effect on Earth: Earth’s periodic passage through the galaxy’s disk could initiate a series of events that ultimately lead to geological cataclysms and mass extinctions.’
In my dark matter based theory (I, II, III) the increasing frequency of close asteroid encounters should be also related to global warming episodes. Professor Michael Rampino, a biologist at New York University already presented a theory , that the dark matter disrupts the path of comets and asteroids, which would bombard the Earth, trigger geovolcanism and cause climatic changes.
The truth being said, available data of mass extinctions and volcanic period still support both theories only vaguely(1, 2), which is why scientists are still pushing these hypotheses in popular books instead of serious publications. But we have another indirect indicia of this theory, which is typical for emergent (i.e. hyperdimensional) scenarios: we can find many separated indicia - but none of it works too reliably by itself.
But the research of prof. Rampino is no way unsuccessful. Between others he proposed the presence of a massive impact crater in the Falklands in 1992 after he noticed similarities with the Chicxulub crater in Mexico—the asteroid that created this crater is thought to have played a major role in the extinction of the dinosaurs 66 million years ago. But after a brief report at the Falklands site, very little research was carried out. Now, a team of scientists—including Rampino—have returned to the area to perform an “exhaustive search for additional new geophysical information” that would indicate the presence of an impact crater about 150 km (93.21 miles) in diameter.
QuoteAnd the Einstein digital papers of course
Speaking of vortex model of magnetism Einstein's 1st "paper" in particular. But he was dreamy boy these days.
QuoteNo reason then to hold grudges for the past...if by doing so it is to your best interest
This is not about grudges or even precautionary principle - but about stating bare truth: results of Google subsidized research were all negative, they were based on naive experimental approach well proven to be futile by previous researchers - thus no help for cold fusion research. Millennials looking for jobs no matter how useless they are may still see it interesting, these ones with deeper background not. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it - except that energetic and environmental crisis is looming and time is running out.
QuoteTeam Google wants your opinion: "What is the highest priority experiment the LENR community wants to see conducted?"
I seriously doubt that someone recommended in situ X-ray study of expansion of lattice with using of Nafion electrolyte. Maybe they collected know-how from community, but they safely ignored it.
One could even perceive it like change of tactic: when apparently crippled and faked cold fusion replications at MIT and elsewhere didn't discourage physicists from research of cold fusion, the establishment organized some more trustworthy ones for Google money and gave them publicity provided by Nature journal. But zero result is still zero result - and this last study even didn't bother to look for cold fusion (heat, radiation and/or reaction products). It's solely normal electrochemical study, which shouldn't be connected with cold fusion research in any way.
But the disgust for responsible exact replications remains widespread even across cold fusion community - so that the above study comes as no big surprise even from solely disinterested position.
Palladium Warning Bells This article aims to provide insight into some issues regarding the future supply of essential minerals that are needed for the global adoption of environmental sustainability.
Initiated by Matt Trevithick of Google in Mountain View, California (which supplied the funding), this project brings together teams led by Yet-Ming Chiang at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Curtis Berlinguette of the University of British Columbia, and Thomas Schenkel of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. They have revisited the electrochemical experiments and also explored a different approach to fusion that uses deuterium plasmas surrounding charged palladium wires.
Producing High Concentrations of Hydrogen in Palladium via Electrochemical Insertion from Aqueous and Solid Electrolytes (PDF preprint), Time-lapse video of a representative foil cathode in an aqueous cell during a simultaneous XRD and electrochemical H insertion experiment
X-Ray diffraction enables to study expansion of Pd lattice due to absorption of hydrogen. The first set experiments has been widely criticized for its low saturation of hydrogen, which is important predictor of cold fusion success - this new study adressed reaching higher hydrogen load (H:Pd ratios 0.7-0.9) under standard three electrode arrangement. In one version experiment utilized BZCY ceramic electrolyte operating at 700 °C, whereas others utilized aqueous sulfuric acid and Nafion polymeric electrolyte at room temperature.
But the study utilizes only thin sputtered layers of palladium (50 nm thick Pd thin films sputtered onto a 127 μm thick Kapton film substrate). It's debatable, whether thin porous layer of sputtered metal can provide high enough volume for formation of whisker dislocations and propagation of polarons along them. At any case, it's interesting and thorough electrochemical study - but it still cannot be counted as a seriously minded attempt for replication of Fleischman-Pons experiments, which consistently used bulky samples.

- Anyone making LENR devices is playing around with hydrogen and metals, exactly what you need for hydrino creation.
- Any company claiming to make heat from LENR will be off-gassing hydrino H2[1/4] gas
Actual truth may be well outside of both LENR, both hydrino theory. But this thread is about Brillouin Energy and their theory is about Electron Capture Reaction. Which is essentially classical physics process, I just don't know, how they got into this mechanism. Like Widom-Larsen theory, Godes proposes that neutrons are created as a first step, both via LENR proton + electron + 0.782MeV = neutron and via deuteron + electron + 3MeV = “di-neutron” . He says that a di-neutron is not bound, but it’s “very nearly” bound. Godes acknowledges that “This large energy barrier seems insurmountable” but then quotes Peter Hagelstein as having proven that “it is entirely possible to localize several MeV energy”. Despite dedicating a section to explaining what Brillouin zones are, Godes never uses or refers to this concept anywhere else in the paper. Godes is electrotechnical engineer by profession and he utilizes “Quantum compression pulses” (Q-pulses), which is fancy name for very short bursts of current through a thin palladium wire loaded with hydrogen, causing very high current density. The current density is further enhanced due to the skin effect, which is interesting experimental approach.
So what is your source, actually?
Are you sure? A lie has no legs, they say...
QuoteBe sure you do not expose the heavy water to air. It is hygroscopic. It will degrade in purity just from the air in the bottle, and if you leave the top off, that will happen quickly. Bockris and others used IV bags to store it, as I recall. Good pont jed, but happily the hydrogen generator is a sealed system.
How much KOH this smart young guy is going to add into his heavy water before electrolysis?
Does vacuum "remember" magnet rotation? Demonstration of Aspsden effect. It seems for me, that decreased friction (i.e. heated oil in motor bearings) could contribute to effect observed. Also air turbulence established around magnet could affect result. Igor Beletskiy should try to make magnet replaceable and turn it upside down before repeating the experiment.
Quoteany GR gravitational effect on length of day due to the extra potential from Jupiter is far too small to be so measured
Value of gravitational constant fluctuates with the same period as well. And value of gravitational constant is measured with precision of some five digits only, whereas length of day can be measured with millisecond precision, i.e. by at least eight digits precission. The synoptic Jupiter-Saturn period is thus clearly visible there.
These periods can be seen even by such a seemingly unrelated processes like the speed of uplift of Yellowstone caldera.
