SKETCH OF GLOBAL RESEARCH PLAN FOR LENR (II)
As told and illustrated with the Six Pillars of LENR+ (the variant that can be converted in the game-changing energy technologies- we have to define the real identity of LENR- and we can do this not by precise scientific theories but by specifying the principles of LENR.
I think that we have to start with a departure of the past and it ideas, memes not exactly a tabula rasa but a rather deep re-thinking, creating of a new integrative vison.. Sooner or later you will be amazed to see how many things in LENR are not as we usually know and how many things we need to solving our problems are actually unknown.
First, the Six Pillars or principles have to be accepted, grafted on the LENR mode of thinking and applied- here the opposition will be very strong. In vain I predict it!
OTHERNESS - opposed by sameness- LENRs are very different from hot fusion and there are great differences between different forms and variants of LENR. You will see shocking differences, surprising degrees of otherness.
COMPLEXITY -opposed to simplicity in the Occam's Razor style- LENR is so complex that one theory cannot explain it; its most specific prefix is "multi"- multi- phase, multi-step, multi-form, multi-parameter- and so on, a cascade of intertwined simultaneous and consecutive chains of phenomena
Its study is inter-and trans-disciplinary and it is not owned by nuclear physicists or physicists, beyond physics it is also materials science, chemistry, nanotechnology and nanoplasmonics, engineering and more. And not only fusion happens, but also nucleo-synthesis, fission, "forbidden" transmutations, clustering, collective nuclear phenomena and many kinds of non-nuclear phenomena.
DIVERSITY- opposed to a belief in the unicity of LENR - a very broad still unexplored variety by combining different active forms of hydrogen with almost all of the transition metals- nickel is only a pioneer- mixtures and alloys. Researchers have to find the optimum- the most productive, the most safe, the most ecological.
METAMORPHOSIS- as opposed to "one basic form of LENR overall, not changing much"in order to make LENR valuable commercially a real sourceof energy it has to be radically transformed . How? The principle was defined by Defkalion's Yiannis Hadjichristos and is: "MAKE HYDROGEN REACTIVE AND THE METAL RECEPTIVE" Problems having many alternative solutions. the Global Plan will comprise many programs for both aspects of this sine qua non (absolutely necessary) metamorphosis.
DYNAMICITY as opposed to a staticity is definitory for LENR as I have already shown in my 1992 paper about the Surfdyn effect. Till 2011 only Piantelli and his group have worked at temperatures above the Debye temperature , but Rossi and DGT have worked at increasingly high temperatures- where the dynamicity is very high, the genesis of active sites is fast and the release of excess heat intense. The dichotomy LENR slow and unmanageable and LENR+ has to be recognized- the Global Plan refers to LENR+ not to research of LENR with new methods. As the results of more than 26 years of work show it, classic LENR is not well cognoscible, we still do not understand even the basics- with no proper dynamicity LENR cannot be understood.
CREATIVITY- as opposed to standard scientific research. LENR is n unimaginably difficult research subject (many) Due to its complexity, the scientific method in its usual forms cannot be applied; LENR has many parameters but they are no actionable- only its metamorphosis to LENR+ can make the problem tractable.
This determines the structure and the functionality of the research teams able tgo
mmake our global LENR plan a reality.
LENR Research Teams
A really good leader necessarily good in system thinking; dedicated workers with experience in physics, nanotechnology, materials science, chemistry, electric engineering. mechanical engineering- all dedicate problem solvers and learners. LENR is too complex to be let to the physicists alone.
Andrea Rossi as competitor and model
Andrea Rossi's results have to be confirmed independently and thus the highest degree of certainty has to be attained, methods that are better than his have to be found. This is a great effort and creativity is decisive. However now he has a a monopoly and it seems he is progressing fast. Ergo, alternative, technical solutions have to be created.
WHAT TO NOT DO
a) To invest any hopes in the domain below Debye temperature for any metal'
b) To bet too much on the nuclear nature of LENR- the task is to create a perfectly ecological source of energy and therefore radiation is a 4-letter word in LENR
c) to sacrifice aims for means as being focused more on measurements as on intensification and optimization of the processes
WHAT TO DO.
To organize teams laboratories and pilot plants for testing the many possible variants of LENR processes based on a new paradigm we have to work out together.
OBVIOUSLY DETAILS WILL BE DISCUSSED IN THE FOLLOWING DAYS BASED ON YOUR PROPOSALS. IT IS IMPORTANT, PLEASE SAY WHAT YOU THINK/WANT!

Long Term 1 MW Plant Test to help with Next Generation of E-Cat Industrial Plants
The key to successful LENR engineering is the ability for the system to produce alkali element based nanoparticles (Rydberg matter including hydrogen) continually to replace the particles that are destroyed by transmutation.

a remarkable phrase fom it:
"Underlying theory known, but too complicated"

ReplyDelete“WHAT TO NOT DO
a) To invest any hopes in the domain below Debye temperature for any metal'”
Besides nickel(450K), the other group 10 elements: palladium(274K) and platinum(240K) have a Debye temperature below the freezing point of water. Gold(225K) and silver(165K) have a Debye temperature close to the freeing point of CO2. Only Holmlid’s substrate of choice, Iridium(420K), has a Debye temperature on a par with nickel.
But there is something wrong with this assumption about Debye temperature. This assumption was violated with respect to Iridium since Holmlid got muons to appear under florescent light in his Lab at room temperature.
On the other hand, the muons could have been produced by potassium(91K) and/or solid hydrogen(?K).
What can't be measured can't be controlled. Supposing magnetic flux at nanoscale is the core driver of LENR reactions then there is need for a probe that can measure the strength of the flux at the local small scale where it is induced.
ReplyDeleteChecking for transmutations is not efficient, that method makes each round of test too expensive and time consuming. Checking for radiation is more direct but still this is probing the effect, not the cause. What kind of method could be used to measure the local magnetic flux at nano scale?
