"Cold Fusion, we love you as you are!"
New Paradigm says:
"Cold Fusion, we love you and we will help you to grow up, to become healthy and strong and productive. Now you are just an unhappy little weakling but you are able to change and improve tremendously!"
Motto:
Other sciences simply are, LENR must become. (A principle of Otherness )
LENR information for today:
Russ George has published yesterday a very interesting paper re catalysis and cold fusion:
"No vacancy may be magic in the world of Cold Fusion"
http://atom-ecology.russgeorge.net/2014/12/07/no-vacancy/
It is about catalysis and LENR so I am really gung ho about it, being a form of catalysis was the very first aspect of Otherness of cold fusion revealed to/by me already in 1991.
Russ speaks, among other fundamental things, about a permanently timely and open dispute in LENR, bulk vs. surface as the place where the reactions happen:
"In the field of cold fusion there has been a 25 year long trail that has sustained an argument between those who think the important part of cold fusion material science is the surface vs. those in favor of the bulk. Now it seems the compromise is that it’s not but near the surface where some very important transition where normal hydrogen waves off it’s particle character."
Today Rossi keeps silence about catalysts in the E-cats and claims the effect discovered by him will be explained by advanced physics, see please:
However in 2011 one of Rossi friends has told that the Effect is bound to catalysis
and the following two papers were relevant for the discovery:
Influence
of support on catalytic behavior of nickel catalysts in the steam reforming of
ethanol for hydrogen production Environ Chem Lett (2010) 8:79–85
Modification
of nickel supported over ZnO for HDS of thiophene with neodymium. JOURNAL
OF RARE EARTHS, Vol. 27, No. 3, Jun. 2009, p. 443
In both, it is much discussion about the support (metal oxides)- metal interaction, this seems to be at play, in a new surprising way in LENR+; but from here to a working device it is still a long way to go.Andrea Rossi also says the following:

Tom Conover:
The 1 MW E-Cat is a low temperature plant, it reaches max T= 120°C.
What I wrote regarding the high temperatures is related to the Hot Cat.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
I think the low temperature refers to the heat transfer agent, I believe thta DGT is
right saying the limit for LENR+ is the Debye temperature of metal bound to vibrations of the lattice i.e. to the DYNAMICITY. Nickel cannot work well under
177 C.

I adore Mireille Mathieu for being the human who pronounces in the most charming and sexy mode the difficult letter "r"- unique!

JC Renoir:
I am perusing the books of Prof. Nornam Cook “Models of the Atomic Nucleus” ( Springer, 2nd edition 2010) and “Nuclear Models” of Prof. Walter Greiner and Prof. Joachim Maruhn (Springer 1996).
I am also taking in strong account the 2 papers published respectively on October 25 and on November 18 2014 by Carl-Oscar Gullstroem on Ecatworld:
” Low radiation fusion through bound neutron tunnelling” and ” Collective neutron reduction model for neutron transfer reaction”.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
