The the way you explain this, Alain, seems to me the same as potential energy. So vacuum has some energy in excess to its crowded and full of particles surrounding area. If mass is energy, than I would say that vacuum has a lot less energy than matter. It seems not right to me. But:
Assume a black hole. In the centre the mass density is infinite, when looking at it from our universe. Looking at it from the other side, there will be a totally empty space at the same vicinity point. Maybe the more empty vacuum is the nearer you are at the black hole and the more energy there is. How do you think about this view?

Quote from AlainCo

About the theoretical production of Mr Geneste, as it is formulated, and accounting from his past books, I feel it is much more general than proposing Weak Interaction, or BEC theory...

about vacuum energy I have watched discussion on that concept with emDrive.

My impression is that Vacuum is like the basic quietest state of a lake, not even a lake, but the perfectly still ocean.
you cannot get energy from the ocean quiet state, but from excited state like from waves, from thermal gradients.

you can see there is huge mass of energy as stored in ocean quiet state, in ocean pressure, in gravity, it seems huge but you cannot do anything with it, as there is nothing lower.

On the opposite you can swim in it (that is what some propose for EmDrive), or catch energy from waves caused by excitation of that still system.

Some like Michael McCulloch (and Unruh) propose that presence of objects in the ocean change the quiet state and allow some action, especially because the lowest energy state of quantum ocean is not perfectly still.

an example is a strange effect observed in ports. when there is a basic wave presence in a port, there is a spontaneous effect that make boats get toward the pier.
it is a casimir pressure, because between the pier and the boat only few waves wavelength are allowed, and that on the opposite open sea side there is much more wavelength allowed....

This is not a free-lunch energy, but it may be useful.

Axil, I do not understand 'Vacuum Energy'. Can you explain where it comes from?

The announcement of this test is obviously very interesting. Strange that is is published a month later, because it is really an achievement. I hope to see a lot more details about this. Maybe Peter Gluck will be able to get this?

The principles of operation on which you describe in your latest patent the system should work seem comparable to the [lexicon]Widom-Larsen theory[/lexicon]. Why didn'n you refer to that theory as well?
(http://appft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-adv.html&r=1&p=1&f=G&l=50&d=PG01&S1=20150187444.PGNR.&OS=dn/20150187444&RS=DN/20150187444)
Do you believe that electron capture is the only principle that should be applied to LENR?

I just scanned the document, but it is clear to me that this peer reviewed report contributes to the high pile of documents showing that there is a phenomenon that should further be studied: LENR.
It is a pity that the authors did not take the opportunity to investigate the by-products of LENR like transmutations and the release of Helium. That would have made the document even more valuable.

Hi Wizkid,

The graphs look interesting, but can you explain a bit more:
What does 'sensor' mean in the first graph?
What did you do to cause the big temperature spikes?
Is there any sign of SSM?
You seem to have a dual reactor. Is the second used as a reference? I do not see any temperature details of that.
Thanks, Gerard

Looks interesting but the graphs require more explanation. I'll look forward seing his report.

Andrea, Thomas and Hank, you all made quite an effort for analysing the Lugano test results and I thank you for doing that. It should have been done before the Lugano report was issued, but maybe no qualified scientists could be found.
Now the status of the Lugano document is very dubious and should be withdrawn, unless the autors come with clear new details or a proper response.
I still believe that the found isotope shift is something to concentrate on. I fully agree that only many samples would allow a quantitative calculation with regards to mass-loss and energy release. The few samples they took were probably not representative.
Mabe it is true what Axil Axil suggests, where he assumes that the hot cat is being used as a 'mouse' which uses uses radiation and/or particles to stimulate the E-cats, positioned around it. The problem I have got with that hypothesis it that no radiation was found.
The good thing is that there is no need to go to 1300 degrees for testing. 800-900 degrees will be sufficient for showing some LENR effect.

Andrew, these are very interesting tests. Thank you for sharing that with us! I have some questions:
1. Did you try it also with nickel (not with titanium)?
2. Can you provide some electrical information: What frequency, power and current do you use for this induction heater? Can you control all these values in lineary or are you using on-off control?
3. Rossi has found electrical discharge or build-up of an electrostatic field while having LENR. Did you observe that also?
4. Do you believe this is a more efficient way to initiate LENR than using a heating coil?
5. Do you intend to heat the stainless steel tube with the induction heater or the tablet inside?

Hi Denis that was a nice (lengthly) show you brought us. Thanks!
Text removed. I did not read the whole thread

It is interesting to see that Santilli is also moving forward and having success.
Would the more interesting company Thunder Fusion corp. be out of focus?
I had some discussions with him in the past, but when I asked him whether or not it his theories could explain Cold Fusion, he immediately dropped my name in the spam box.
I liked his theories about the oval shaped electron orbits around the atoms.

It seems to me that the W-L theory and Axil's theory seem to look quite the same. Axil also refers to teleportation of energy of entangled particles as well as surface Polaritron Plasmons, so I would welcome his opinion about this.

Quote from Majorana

Nice device!

Maybe Gerard should wait before investing any time or money before Alex has tested the rossi reactor with chemical heating.

The spectrum analyzer in the lugano report showed no chopped rectangular dc like parkhomov was using so probably the reactions can run without external em pulses. Although maybe not as optimized.

Marjorana, I an not sure that the currents measured in Lugano were sinusoidal, in fact I believe they were not. I will continue with my approach to get a prototype. It can at least help to understand what is important for LENR.

I have no idea what is special to all I have seen. What is the issue?

Please contact them or write in the thread if you can help.

[lexicon]Alexander Parkhomov[/lexicon] is still in Padua.
It will be an interesting weekend

I suggest that if it is not possible to obtain a variac, you install a copper reflectr around the heater coil like AP did.

Quote from AlainCo

Today I've attended LENRG Conference...
Manythings were discussed (business proposal, scientific programs, collaborations, business model) and I'll have to work to make few articles...

However to explain the concept of collective Quantum…

Alain,
Being an electrical engineer, it seems to me that while the metronomes are asynchronous, their collective energy is minimal. When they are synchronized due to ancommon base (the bottom on which they are attached is not fully damped and can move), then their energy becomes massive with an high Q-factor which combines the energy of alle thee indivudual metronomes. It is like a resonating flute, where all the individual air molecules combine together to produce a tone, or speaking in the electrical metafore a 'L-C resonator'. An undaped resonator can reach enormous powers and I assume that Luca Gamberale thinks that that may be the 'force' behind LENR. It is like Axil's vortex which does th same.

Quote from me356

Sad news, but I believe it will work next time!

Can somebody show/tell me connection of the heater? Maybe using variac is not the best method. You can control the input power with for example triac - there are finished PCBs from ebay for even $3 that are able to handle 2000W.

The difficulty is that it is not easy to make a resister coil such that it exactly suits all requirements: Maximum available voltage and current (mains supply)
Maximum required power. Maximum and minimum currents that can be controlled with the temperature controller. It is difficult to adjust those with the wire diameters that are available and the power you want to deliver to the small area of the heater coil.

Quote from barty

Disappointing information: The test showed no excess heat!
But due to the power supply Alan Goldwater was not able to get more than 900°C.
So he was not able to get the same conditions Parkhomov and Lugano had.

I wonder why that was not discovered when they did the fuel-less test...

As you can see in Our newsletter of April, in PDF attachment, the Committtee of ICCF19 decided not to give voice to the Open Science…

I do not know the Open Power Association but I assume they are focussed to LENR. What can be the reason for ICCF to leave them out?

Quote from AlainCo

Clean Nuclear Power, the LENR startup founded by Yogendra Srivastava and Alan Widom, member of LENRG, publish a new website.

They refers to a patent they filed, based on their theory, with a working prototype they describe shortly.

The prototype…

This can only be a 1 April joke. That type of energy can only lead to a big bang!
