Quotespace-time Clifford algebra, showing that only one fundamental physical entity is sufficient to describe the origin of electromagnetic fields, charges and currents: the electromagnetic four-potential
Unfortunately quantum fields breaks all symmetries at the very end - these orthogonal ones are no exception. Even blondes know about it...
QuoteThis is a breaktrough! Even bigger than Einstein's idea. Everything is light..
QuoteThe poll also confuses motives (fraudulent) with technology (does it work /has it ever worked). "Essentially fraudulent" is not correct if Rossi is a genuinely convinced fantasist who also habitually lies.
If Rossi does technology which works, how could he be a "genuinely convinced fantasist"? How his motives could be "fraudulent" after then?
What Rossi is testing by now is not so conceptually different from experiments of Me356, UnifiedGravity and others. We just have a situation - someone is doing at least some LENR research and lazy ignorant crowds still say, he has nothing. But who actually does similar things? It just resembles me this example: DIY Cold Fusion Experimenter Claims COP 11 with a NaOH Electrolysis System - largely ignored, then dismissed by ignorant public as a childish experiment. But how it differs from well controlled Bazhutov research? This situation is not so different from ignorance of Fleischman-Pons experiments: the doubting of experiments just serves as a moral justification and evasion for doing nothing, their replication the less.
Only experimentation will move us forward with LENR research, nothing else.

Hot fusion is futile approach to fusion which just drains money from cold fusion and it serves ipso-facto as an evasion of its ignorance for laymen.
A simple argument that hydrino, i.e. "small hydrogen" may exist Author of the study J. Va’vra from Standford university argues, that spontaneous transition from normal level to small level is unlikely because of a large electron energy difference in both states (13.6 eV + 254.16 or 510.17 keV). But the small hydrogen may be formed differently; for example, using a relativistic electron with a correct wavelength latching on a proton. Such condition may have occurred during the Big Bang, or during other very energetic and luminous events in the Universe. Compare also:
Mystery dark matter may be ordinary neutrons that have decayed The electrons released by protons wouldn't be accelerated by Coulomb barrier - on the contrary, they could remain trapped at subquantum levels.
I've had herd that it works for military contractors - which would explain its secretiveness.
It's worth to note, whole cold fusion research has started with Dr. Steven Jones observations of hellium-3 content around volcanoes and hydrothermal vents. Many cold fusion reactions produce He-3 isotope as a byproduct, thus increasing the practical importance of their research. See for example What Keeps the Earth Cooking? Helium-3 Leaking from Earth in Southern California. Neon could be also formed by nuclear reactions at place inside the Earth mantle - in similar way like the He-3.
According to astronomers, there's a “dark matter hurricane” blowing through our corner of the Milky Way galaxy.
Right this second, it's passing over Earth. This dark matter can affect the speed of decay or
even cold fusion of radioactive elements. Not that the climate change of catastrophic 2012 movie has been initiated by "bewildered" neutrinos, which "melted" the Earth crust. Not quite accidentally its plot has been labeled as the most "unscientific movie ever" both by
MIT both
NASA in unison.
Later cold fusion research indicates, that the neutrinos, high frequency electric noise and magnetic fields could catalyze the low energy nuclear reactions by itself. Radioactive decay is key ingredient behind Earth's heat and links herein. The heating of oceans and Earth crust induced by low-energy neutrinos and dark matter pervading solar system plays an important role in my geothermal theory of global warming.
QuoteOther not fully correct models are still incredibly useful though and give useful insight when applied in the scope they were originally conceived
George Box: "All models are wrong, but some are useful". What I think is, Randell Mills theory is apparently in contradiction with well proven quantum mechanics, but its focus to subquantum physics still has some merit. For not to have phenomenology so simple, some aspects of Randell Mills theory overlap with scalar models of overunity (noradiative condition of spherical orbitals allows only scalar wave "dark photon" transitions), and Holmlid's Rydberg matter theory of metallic hydrogen filaments. The question is thus at least four-fold with probability of physical relevance diminishing at each level:
1. Can subquantum levels exist / be detectable at all?
2. If they do exist, could they apply to hydrogen? Could they also apply to another symmetric orbitals (i.e. noble gases, like argon catalysts of BLP, Quark-X, Papp's engine)?
3. If they do apply to hydrogen, could they make hydrino stable? Could they make its formation exothermic?
4. If the hydrino is really stable, how it does apply to dark matter, Rydberg matter and metallic hydrogen cases..
A simple argument that hydrino, i.e. "small hydrogen" may exist This paper discusses a possible existence of subquantum levels and hydrino, i.e. "small hydrogen", which may have been created during the Big Bang before formation of normal hydrogen.
Author of the study J.Va’vra from Standford university argues, that spontaneous transition from normal level to small level is unlikely because of a large electron energy difference in both states (254.16 or 510.17 keV). But the small hydrogen may be formed differently; for example, using a relativistic electron with a correct wavelength latching on a proton. Such condition may have occurred during the Big Bang, or during other very energetic and luminous events in the Universe.
One could try to use a high intensity electron beam of precisely tuned energy, and look for a sign of e-p bonded state formation. If the small hydrogen is formed, it would appear as a neutral object from some distance. Such object might be able to enter the boron nucleus in boron-based detectors, destabilize the nucleus, which may produce alpha particle, which then would be detected. However, this process might turn out to be very unlikely because the small hydrogen does have a fairly large size compared to nucleus size, and it has an electric dipole moment, which may prevent entry into the nucleus.
Hydrino theory is already 33 years old - and this is first time it's emerged in mainstream journal publication, I guess. The existence of hydrino looks controversial even for me, who collects various anomalies and controversial topics. Before some time I started to speculate that phenomena which Randell Mills attributes to cold fusion are actually overunity effects analogous to cavitation heaters and magnetic motors. This aspect various observations (like the overunity of Langmuir atom hydrogen discharge and let say Chernetski and Papp's plasma generators) would have common with Randell Mills process. From both quantum mechanics, both dense aether model follows, that subquantum energy levels of hydrogen should be indeed possible, but they would require pumping of energy into it, i.e. hydrino - even if it could somehow exists - would be metastable. And its formation wouldn't definitely serve as a mean of energy production, neither as an explanation of dark matter and another phenomena, which Randell Mills routinely attributes to hydrino.
The principal reason here is the omnipresent vacuum noise (so-called Zero Point Energy or ZPE) which leads into degeneracy pressure, i.e. the fact that vacuum behaves like water surface filled by Brownian noise, which wiggles with small particles and objects and takes them apart. This wiggling is for example the reason, why liquid helium doesn't freeze even at zero Kelvin temperature, i.e Zero Point. The finite diameter and fundamental quantum state of hydrogen atoms (and another atoms indeed) is thus result of equilibrium between degeneracy pressure and attractive Coulomb force. The same quantum noise would also prohibit the collapse of matter into singularities predicted by general relativity - so I believe that black holes behave merely like very dense stars with physical surface blurred with space-time up to higher or lower degree, which mostly depends on the speed of their rotation.
Unfortunately the situation is not so simple and more detailed analysis will be still required. From dense aether model also follows that concentration of energy at some place makes vacuum more dense like soap foam shaken inside closed vessel. The increased vacuum density slows down the propagation of energy (it's common mechanism for both relativistic phenomena like gravitational lensing, both quantum mechanic phenomena, like pilot wave and probability function). In addition, increased vacuum density makes forces (including Coulomb force) weaker, because it essentially works like space-time dilatation (and distance increasing) for them. The situation gets even more complicated at the proximity of surfaces of normal matter, preferably within narrow cracks and cavities of metals, which would stabilize these subquantum levels even more, because the surface of refracting bodies also shield portion of ZPE noise.
So that maybe - just maybe - some of sub quantum states could be actually more stable, thus allowing some subquantum atoms and/or even their compounds actually exist. Other than that the spectral lines attributed to hydrino in Randell Mills experiments could be also manifestation of Auger transitions, so that definite proof of hydrino is waiting for its publication.
Large amounts of hydrogen is produced using an electro-hydraulic shock applied to plates of aluminum submerged in water. The electrohydraulic shock continuously removes the oxide film which forms on the surface of aluminum plates. The electro-hydraulic shock burns at a temperature hotter than the surface of the sun and creates an immense pressure of over 100,000 atmospheres. This takes place at a micro level. This shock is applied to the plates of aluminum to continuously destroy the oxide film, allowing for a set of 16 different physical and chemical processes to take place. This simultaneously decomposes the water molecules and eats away at the aluminum plates, releasing the hydrogen. The hydrogen generator runs at temperatures no hotter than 150 degrees Fahrenheit and is completely safe.
A patent has been issued on the key revolutionary processes used to produce hydrogen at incredibly efficient rates.
What are the inputs?
The key inputs are aluminum and water: these inputs drive the generator and also the 16 physical and chemical processes. There is a small amount of a chemical catalyst. The electricity needed is 50 watts to 150 watts (per hour).
Where do the inputs come from?
The generator uses tap water. The 50 to 150 watts of electricity can come from a small solar panel, a mini wind turbine, a wall socket or a self-charging battery similar to those used in cars. The aluminum and chemical catalyst can be changed every few days to every few months. This depends on the size of the generator. A generator used to power a house or a factory would need an aluminum change about every two months while a generator used in car would need aluminum change every 600 miles. The change can be done either by the user or a technician.
What happens to the Aluminum?
Used aluminum can be recycled. This will further reduce the operating cost.
Quote"TinselKoala" is a scam buster and a damn good one. Want to bet this test will never happen? These scams always operate the same way and in the last ten years there have been at least a dozen prominent ones to separate marks from their money.
He is nut, who has no idea, what's going on. That giant Lexan model was made just because of this test - it has no other purpose.
QuoteHolmlid's recent work also raises the possibility that muons may be generated in cold fusion
Holmlid himself says, he does merely hot fusion. Cold fusion arises during low-dimensional collisions within crystals, but Holmlid initiates them with laser pulses, and laser light is also low-dimensional. It's too high concentration of energy for poor atoms, sorta overshot - and instead of fusion their nuclei fragment itself into pions and muons. Muons aren't definitely welcomed product of cold fusion (despite that they have many potential uses, for example as a catalyst for hot fusion), because their generation indicates waste of input energy (like every particle formation during fusion).
QuoteI am certain is is not useful to devolve to Kepler and the Bohr atom, for many reasons well discussed in physics since the "ultraviolet catastrophe" beginning around 1900.
Well, if nothing else it helped me to realize the mistake above pointed. Bohr and Kepler models can still apply once we introduce pilot ("wake") wave for electron encircling the atom. Such a pilot wave will start to interfere with itself around atom and the wave-like flabelliform orbital is born. But electrons itself are still orbiting atoms like pin point particles: their orbitals just delineate most frequent paths for them. It's worth to note that Randell Mills theory represents pretty consequential return to Bohr model.
You're right, I got it opposite - relativistic effects shrink central orbitals of atom and they leave just outer electrons unaffected. Thank for correction.
I don't think that Mills must be completely wrong - there can be less or more spherical shadows of metastable subquantum levels beneath fundamental s- d- orbitals close to atom nuclei, for dense clusters of atoms or for atoms inside narrow cavities - sorta like dark matter/energy of quantum mechanics. Smoke only rarely comes without fire. Unfortunately XUL spectral lines pushed by Mills as a proof of his theory can be explained by Auger electrons and direct hydrino evidence is inconclusive so far.
QuoteMills has a bad habit to tell something is wrong even if it looks the same... I would suggest that Mills' inability to get his ideas published comes from his ignorance
Well, exactly. The liberal frontiers have tendency to disagree mutually even when they actually agree each other. They're negativistic each other like particles of dark matter. They tend to exaggerate their ideas in an effort to give them more merit than they deserve and they present them as more fundamental / omnipresent, than they really are. Mills and his theory/software is so full of it. But nature doesn't work so. Even the finding of pile dark matter wouldn't invalidate predictions of relativity within its well established validity scope (we can spot this scope easily, as it applies to less or more spherical bodies - the more the shape of object deviates from sphere, the more it also tends to deviate from general relativity).
In dense aether model the physical theories act like low-dimensional reductionist onion slices of hyperdimensional reality. The physicists are pushing multiverse model without even realizing, they invented it already in form of their own theories. The fact that ripples don't spread at the water surface in regular circles for large/small energies and/or large/small distances still doesn't invalidate fact, that at average distance scales they're routinely doing so. So that we can have simplistic reductionist Maxwell or special relativity theories based on such spherical spreading for average distance scales and energies and another theories for their spreading under more extreme conditions. These more advanced theories would apply elsewhere and they wouldn't interfere classical theories too much. In adition, from dense aether model follows, the more distant we get from scope of general relativity and quantum mechanics, the more models and perspectives we could apply to observable reality at the same moment, because this reality gets hyperdimensional and individual theories will become low-dimensional projections of it (Einstein's lensing comes on mind here).
