THE IDENTITY CRISIS OF LENR/LENR+




MOTTO


To be intelligent means to NOT   confound (mix) the points of view (Mihail Ralea)

DAILY NOTE

A good friend has criticized my rant from two days ago, saying I have offended our theorist colleagues who are valuable hard working people, many times also excellent in LENR experiments. They are very dedicated to our field.
I have answered that I spoke only against theories and I respect theorists and admire them. As I told recently, reading biographies I have learned to distinguish the creators and their opuses- this distinction has so many shades- in two directions.
For LENR, my friend gave more examples of admirable theorists. I will compare here two of the most well known, authoritative- stars, heroes.


Take Ed Storms, he says intelligent, logical wise things about LENR. Very convincing. Has admirers, followers, leads a  "school"

Take Peter Hagelstein, he says intelligent, logical, wise things about LENR. Very  convincing. Has admirers, followers, leads a school (in his case really)

However what Ed and Peter says are opposing, incompatible, immiscible things in great proportion.
Together, they are champions of the fragmentation of the LENR field.
How is this possible, they both know well the facts? They are both LENR-inerrant?
Elementary common sense suggests this is possible only if they actually think about different things- it is well known that >90%of the errors are errors of assumption NOT errors of logic, They both use false, but different identities of LENR. 
Can we deny that LENR ("nobody knows how it works- then nobody knows what it is, concluded a survey)- has a fundamental identity crisis?
I will repeat many times the following Statement-in vain- because repetition is good for converting lies in truths but it is not efficient in promoting truths:

"Useful energy by deep interaction between hydrogen and metals appears in more forms; the first one was discovered by Fleischmann and Pons in an unmanageable system and it was necessary to invent other such systems in order to succeed as an energy source at a broad commercial scale.,"

AXIOM 1: What we call now LENR is the energy source of the future; its full identity has not to be discovered but created. (in other wording, LENR+ cannot be discovered but has to be invented)

1) Muon detection studied by pulse-height energy analysis: Novel converter arrangements
Leif Holmlid and Sveinn Olafsson

Rev. Sci. Instrum. 86, 083306 (2015)http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4928109

ABSTRACT

Muons are conventionally measured by a plastic scintillator–photomultiplier detector. Muons from processes in ultra-dense hydrogen H(0) are detected here by a novel type of converter in front of a photomultiplier. The muon detection yield can be increased relative to that observed with a plastic scintillator by at least a factor of 100, using a converter of metal, semiconductor (Ge), or glass for interaction with the muons penetrating through the metal housing of the detector. This detection process is due to transient formation of excited nuclei by the well-known process of muon capture, giving beta decay. The main experimental results shown here are in the form of beta electron energy spectra detected directly by the photomultiplier. Events which give a high-energy tail in the energy spectra are probably due to gamma photons from the muons. Sharp and intense x-ray peaks from a muonic aluminium converter or housing material are observed. The detection conversion in glass and Ge converters has a time constant of the order of many minutes to reach the final conversion level, while the process in metal converters is stabilized faster. The time constants are not due to lifetimes of the excited nuclei or neutrons but are due to internal charging in the insulating converter material. Interaction of this charging with the high voltage in the photomultiplier is observed.

To the best of my knowledge, no one has figured out how a catalyst increases the speed of a chemical reaction. It seems to me that LENR is catalytic action in maximum overdrive. This is the reason why Rossi calls his reactor a energy catalizer. Their is also indications that the physics of collective electron interactions and light interactions with matter are at the center of the LENR reaction.

Quantum electrodynamics, commonly referred to as QED, is a quantum field theory of the electromagnetic force. This field was created recently by physicists including Sin-Itiro Tomonaga, Julian Schwinger and Richard Feynman who were jointly awarded with a Nobel prize in physics in 1965 for their work in this area.

By the way, Julian Schwinger was the guy who was forced out of science for his interest in LENR.

LENR may control the speed at which time advances because it has been shown that LENR increases both the speed of chemical reactions as happens when no amplification is applied to the catalytic base by additives(nano particles) and the rate at which radioactive decay progresses with the additions of additives. Because of this ability to manipulate time, LENR might connect general relativity to Quantum electrodynamics (QED), Today, one of the major objectives that physics is now heavily invested in---a unified field theory..

What a marvelous opportunity that LENR can afford science. LENR has the capability to allow humankind to look deeply into jf not directly at the root of the structure of the universe and provide a desktop or even a chip based research platform for the cosmic questions that are now are emerging in physics and cosmology.

Muon detection studied by pulse-height energy analysis: Novel converter arrangements

The detection of muons produced by Rydberg hydrogen matter supports the Surface Plasmon Polariton (SPP) theory of LENR. This theory specifically described how muons are produced and how these muons result in the production of fusion among the full range of atomic elements. This theory has been recorded in posts written by AxilAxil in the Vortex L, EGO OUT blog, and the EcatWorld blog over many months. 

The SPP behavior that has not yet been recognized by plasmonic science is the ability of SPPs to produce a positive feedback loop that compensates for the energy losses due to diffusion through the offsetting gains produced by non linear energy production. This ability to amplify the chemistry based catalytic activity of SPPs is not yet in the province of plasmonic research. When nano-particles setup the SPP to amplify their power and force SPP wave forms to loop onto themselves in a vortex, it produces a short lived “Dark Mode” configuration that acts just like a celestial black hole that draws energy into itself from its surroundings. This ability to attract, concentrate and store new energy involves at least two distinct although related mechanisms. 

First, SPPs concentrate and reorient the spin of photons then project the magnetic single pole beam so formed from one of the poles of the vortex. This beam both destabilizes and then transports energy from the affected matter back along the path of the beam through the action of quantum teleportation. This anapole magnetic beam mechanism can act at a considerable distance away from the vortex. The magnetic beam is energetic enough to produce mesons from condensation from the vacuum which the decays into muons which act to produce muon canalize fusion.


Next, the SPP soliton can share, transfer and accumulate energy through quantum mechanical entanglement with clusters of matter of arbitrary size. This instantaneous gleaning of energy from many distinct sources occurs within a spherical zone around the vortex. This duality of causation in the results observed in the LENR reaction leads to understandable confusion. But this multiplicity in the results as produced by the fundamental cause of LENR are unified by a commonality of characteristics linked to a common origin of the effect..

These common and universal conditions include the thermalization of gamma radiation, the rapid to instantaneous stabilization of radioactive isotopes, lack of neutron emissions, and the wide variation of seemingly random transmutation results which includes fusion of light elements into heavier elements and fission of heavy elements into lighter ones, remote reaction at a distance from the location of the LENR reaction, and instantaneous cluster fusion involving huge numbers of sub-reactions that occur instantly and collectively. 

Even though the LENR reaction oftentimes occurs concurrent with the presence of hydrogen isotopes, hydrogen in not required as a fundamental cause of the reaction as shown in the experiments done at Proton 21 where a ball of copper is blasted with a high powered arc discharge, and the carbon dust experiments performed using microwaves conducted by George Egely, the new editor of infinite magazine. In the Proton 21 experiments in nano-particles involved are copper based and in the Egely case the nano-particles are based on carbon. In the Papp reaction. The nano particles are based on chlorine and noble gases.

LENR has made itself known in our world ever since the days of young Tesla when electricity has be made powerful enough to generate nano particles from matter.

  1. Muons might play a similar role in LENR as neutrons play in thermonuclear reactions. Muons may produce a chain reaction that is similar to those seen in fission.

    Reference:

    http://www.i2u2.org/elab/cosmic/posters/display.jsp?name=poster.lead.cool.man.data

    The Effects of Lead Shielding on Muon Counts…. If someone is near a LENR reactor. It looks like lots of muons will get to and into the body. I wonder if muons are harmful?

    Aside from the possible harm from muons, the curious and interesing thing about this referenced paper is that the authors:

    1) expected to see a decreasing rate of muon counts as more lead above the detectors was added,

    2) They were extremely surprised to see that when going from 15cm to 20cm of lead, the count rate of muons actually increased

    3) This data point was extremely unexpected. They had expected that the rate of decrease of the muon count rates would have slowed, but the last thing expected was for the count rates to actually increase.

    That is a lot of lead, first of all. Even then, it never blocked all the muons. For the muon count to increase, with thicker lead, this means that some kind of chain reaction is happening above a thickness level, but muon keep progressing thought the metal. The density of the lead may aid the muon reaction.

    As an analogy – (of how LENR could benefit from this) consider the known parameters of fission … a chain reaction of neutrons is the driver of fission reactors, and thus the concept of a chain reaction of muons is intriguing. Can muons be harvested?

    As for using this information in a practical manner, the main problem is that tons of lead would be needed for even a small reactor - and in the end – the question is whether they can be converted into energy.

    The flow of Muons from the "Mouse" into the "Cats" in Rossi's Self Sustain mode (SSM) configuration looks like an application of a muon chain reaction that we are speculating about. We will need to watch Rossi to see what type of health problems he develops from his time inside the shipping container.

    Muons have a very low interaction cross section with matter; muons do not interact with matter much at all. That low reaction cross section is why muons are harmless to health, However, in the Cat and Mouse configuration employed in the Rossi’s SSM mode, something must be increasing that cross section by a huge amount. That increase in the level of the probability of reaction must be due to a quantum mechanical process. My guess the cause is coherence of the Cat. A Bose condensate might make the Cat look like an atom that is many centimeters in size. The muon from the mouse can’t help but react with an atom that is that big. The same must be true of neutrinos. Coherence and entanglement might make particles that don’t usually interact with atoms always interact with Super Atoms in a Bose condensate cause by quantum effects.

    Just the muons that come to earth from cosmic rays might trigger nuclear reactions in a Bose condensate. Rydberg matter because of its coherence might be a great receiver for subatomic particles that don’t usually interreact with matter at all.
