They found lithium, beryllium and boron, though. <br /><br />It seems that each LENR reactor reflects a unique transmutation profile based on the degree of coulomb barrier lowering that the reactor achieves.<br /><br />This result is a huge demarcation line in theories about the Ni/H reaction in Rossi type reactors.<br /><br />The reaction should be called cold fission. It is near impossible for fusion to build up this light transmutation profile of these light elements one neutron or proton at a time in a stepwise repetitive fusion process.<br /><br />Getting past Helium 4 is not possible because it is in an island of inaccessibility. He4 being a gas will escape the nuclear active zone before a fusion process can build on it so that a step based transmutation process can get to the next higher element in the transmutation chain.<br /><br />In these Rossi type reactors, the coulomb barrier is lowered not all the way but just enough for some light nuclear materials to leak out of the Nickel nucleus to form light elements.<br /><br />Rossi reported the same thing. With many of the first 19 lightest elements found in his transmutation products; even though there were many gases in that list of elements.<br /><br />It is fission dear fellows; clear your minds of confusion so forget about fusion and neutron formation.<br /><br /><br /><br />Axilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07190120527431077518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-326167780677397310.post-9707192464412910672013-03-23T07:12:38.172-07:002013-03-23T07:12:38.172-07:00Once the experimental record is better and repeata...Once the experimental record is better and repeatabililty is improved.<br /><br />Just my two cents ...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14479459346584756683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-326167780677397310.post-23117732073110337532013-03-22T23:11:05.780-07:002013-03-22T23:11:05.780-07:00Dear Anonymous

Boss Einstein...Jaynes-Cummings-Hubbard (JCH) model<br /><br />Boss Einstein Condensate (BEC) comes from the the Jaynes-Cummings-Hubbard (JCH) model.<br /><br /> Because there are millions of these hot-spots covering the combined surfaces of all the micro-particles, the JCH model is a combination of the Jaynes–Cummings model and the coupled cavities. The one-dimensional JCH model consists of a chain of N-coupled single-mode cavities and each cavity contains two-level atoms.<br /><br />The tunneling effect comes from the junction between cavities which are an analogy of the Josephson Effect. <br /><br />The eigenstates of the JCH Hamiltonian in the two-excitation subspace for the N-cavity system are examined in current nano research. This research focuses on the existence of bound states as well as their features. It is interesting to note that two repulsive bosonic atoms can form a bound pair in an optical lattice. By analogy, the same will be true for polaritons.<br /><br /><br /> The JCH Hamiltonian also supports two-polariton bound states when the photon-atom interaction is sufficiently strong. <br /><br /><br /><br />In the LENR case, the coupling between photons and dipoles are very strong. In particular, the two polaritons associated with the bound states exhibit a strong correlation such that they stay close to each other in position space. The results discussed have been published in "Two-polariton bound states in the Jaynes-Cummings-Hubbard model". <br /><br /><br />http://arxiv.org/pdf/1101.1366v1<br /><br /><br />If you’re up to it, the analytic solution of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors in the strong coupling regime is also developed in this paper. The time evolution of such a system is also considered for the cases of different initial conditions.<br /><br />Now that we have justified the development of a generalized condition of Bose-Einstein condensation all over the surfaces of the micro-particles, we can now roll in Kim’s BEC theory of LENR.<br /><br />The fusion probability cross section produced by the ionic BEC is intensified by the screening effects of all the electrons around this ionic condensate in the walls of the NAE.<br /><br /><br />This screening effect is amplified because the electron members of the dipole are coherent and entangled. This large electron composite waveform presents a single screening waveform to the associated mirrored ionic condensate. <br />Axilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07190120527431077518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-326167780677397310.post-61713322654733391912013-03-22T14:20:39.405-07:002013-03-22T14:20:39.405-07:00Mr. Hadjichristos it's very nice of you to sha...Mr. Hadjichristos it's very nice of you to share that you observe B and Be.

Bcause of the J...Thermalization of fusion energy. <br /><br />Bcause of the Jaynes-Cummings-Hubbard (JCH) model, the polariton exists in a state of Quantum Mechanical superposition with the other members of its ensemble in a Nano-cavity.<br /><br />This is critical for the thermalization of fusion energy because the polariton will share its energy between all its entangled ensemble members when the fusion event occurs. This transfer of energy results in decoherence of the entangled states. The nano-cavity will rapidly reinitiate the BEC and the next fusion of a polariton can occur.<br /> <br />Quantum complementarity is the essential feature distinguishing quantum from classical physics. <br /><br />When two physical observables are complementary, the precise knowledge of one of them makes the other unpredictable. The most known manifestation of this principle is the property of quantum-mechanical entities to behave either as particles or as waves under different experimental conditions. The link between quantum correlations, quantum nonlocality and Bohr’s complementarity principle was established in a series of “which-way” experiments, in which the underlying idea is the same as in Young’s double-slit experiment. <br /> <br />Due to its wave-like nature, a particle can be set up to travel along a quantum superposition of two different paths, resulting in an interference pattern. If however a “which-way” detector is employed to determine the particle’s path, the particle like behavior takes over and an interference pattern is no longer observed. <br /><br />These experiments have brought evidence that the loss of interference is not necessarily a consequence of the back action of a measurement process. Quantum complementarity is rather an inherent property of a system, enforced by quantum correlations. This manifestation of quantum mechanics enables random fusion energy distribution for cavity polaritons. Polaritons in micro-cavities are hybrid quasiparticles consisting of a superposition of cavity photons and two-dimensional collective electronic excitations (excitons) in an embedded quantum well. Owing to their mutual Coulomb interaction, pump polaritons generated by a resonant optical excitation can scatter resonantly into pairs of polaritons (signal and idler).<br /><br />In the low excitation limit, the polariton parametric scattering is a spontaneous process driven by vacuum-field fluctuations whereas, already at moderate excitation intensity, it displays self-stimulation.<br /><br />In either of these two cases where the fusion energy goes is directed by the luck of the draw and the randomness of the vacuum energy within the nano-cavity. <br /><br />Thermalization of fusion energy is all important in LENR because it preserves the structure of the NAE. If the energy produced by fusion was not moderated it would rapidly destroy the cavities that contained the reaction.<br /><br />This sometimes happens in LENR where water is present as the source of the dielectric. In this situation, the fusion energy produced by the reaction destroys the vessel of its creation and a crater erupts in the cathode of the LENR device. <br /><br />Axilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07190120527431077518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-326167780677397310.post-52520428156648177812013-03-22T07:44:55.832-07:002013-03-22T07:44:55.832-07:00Dear "Anonymous"

So WL postulates the gamma shield. The gamma shield is not a horrible idea, it's not the most horrible idea for condensed matter physics, but hard to swallow.<br /><br />Well okay maybe we can look for thermalized Neutrons,... no sorry the neutrons are completely absorbed before they are thermalized and escape. Again that is not the most horrible idea but again hard to swallow.<br /><br />Two simple experiments as Mr. Lomax alluded to would be try to penetrate the gamma shield with manufactured gammas, certainly that's plausible. And of course create ULM neutrons in a Metal Hydride and see if they get thermalized and escape because lest we forget the statistical probability for a ULM to "bounce and gain energy" from most of the isotopes of Ni is higher than the probability it will get absorbed and as far as we know it's still the case regardless of their kinetic energy.<br /><br />Mr. Lomax is right people haven't done these experiments because when you mathematically try this on a very simple mathematical simulation they don't hold up.<br /><br />Here is another oddity. At say 1000K there is not enough free energy in the entire cache of Ni powder at the weights we've heard to cause a single electron to join a proton. So the necessary energy has to come from the SPPs which by the way do not go around the Ni particle without "friction" thus heating up the particle which would be easily detected. So any energy to form a "Neutron" has to come from the SPP, but that's a lot of energy on a thin film of surface polaritons flowing around Ni particles and virtually isolated from the Ni particle itself. So if it happens it's likely very local and resonance is involved. But if it's local then how is the gamma shield working? Surely the gammas aren't constrained to go only in the direction of the heavy electron which no longer exists because it's a neutron right? <br /><br />It's just a tough sell. In the end WL does not have a theory, just an example of what one might look like.<br /><br />But Hagelstein and others have theories that may help explain the inadequacies of WL. For example multibody nuclear reactions do not need to produce Gammas. <br /><br />Anyways this post is long enough, you get my point.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-326167780677397310.post-51816930673412261012013-03-22T06:21:16.711-07:002013-03-22T06:21:16.711-07:00Mr. Hadjichristos I see you have not presence in t...Mr. Hadjichristos I see you have not presence in the U.S. Why is that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-326167780677397310.post-9423777582308855312013-03-21T19:27:47.844-07:002013-03-21T19:27:47.844-07:00Axil, the problem is whether or not the hot spots ...Axil, the problem is whether or not the hot spots -- which almost certainly exist -- are a result of heating, or the heating is the cause of the reaction. The reaction is, in the FP Heat Effect, some kind of fusion of deuterium. Very hot spots would produce plasma fusion, with very well known behavior and products. Cold fusion is quite different, and for the FPHE, *only helium is produced.* There are many nascent theories, and the saner ones require the complex conditions of condensed matter for alternate conditions to allow a nuclear reaction.<br /><br />Neutrons, as well, produce very well-known effects, and W-L theory does not deny this. Rather it claims an amazing gamma shield, glossing over that some of the gammas are delayed by substantial times, the gamma shield must persist long after the transmutations have shut down. That's another aspect of the "hoax."<br /><br />I'm getting some flak over the word "hoax."<br /><br />1. An act intended to deceive or trick.<br />2. Something that has been established or accepted by fraudulent means.<br /><br />I'm using the word in the second sense, without implying intention to deceive. It is possible to use wildly bogus arguments, that mislead by misdirection, without intention, though one might in some way be culpable by not being careful about one's own arguments.<br /><br />I'm using the term for shock value, deliberately, because W-L theory is being accepted without careful examination, in many places, whereas more careful theoreticians get little attention.<br /><br />Abd ulRahman Lomaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14566271926809161923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-326167780677397310.post-46792342451122347402013-03-21T18:28:14.227-07:002013-03-21T18:28:14.227-07:00"a) Can you please [translate] in plain Engli..."a) Can you please [translate] in plain English 'misleading arguments' specifically for this case?"<br /><br />"Misleading arguments" is plain English. However, I have posted page after page of examination of W-L arguments on newVortex@yahoogroups.com, I'm not about to summarize them in a few words here. But I will give one example.<br /><br />Just the other day, Larsen repeated a previous Krivit argument that the gamma shield could not be tested because present LENR experiments do not create large enough, persistent, "heavy electron patches" to allow the reduction in gamma intensity to be detected.<br /><br />Remember, he's claiming major secret advances in LENR and he's claiming a 100% efficient gamma shield, and he has *patented* it.<br /><br />His argument is equivalent to saying that stars cannot be detected because the amount of light will only be in the noise in a light detector. He refers to experts who have given the opinion.<br /><br />The answers you get depend on the questions you ask. Gammas are high-frequency, which can allow them to be used for very precise imaging. As one approach to detect active gamma shielding patches, one could image the surface, edge-on, irradiating it with tight-source gammas that travel along the surface, then through a slit, and a moving film could be used to record the slit brightness. So the whole surface would be examined, continuously, edge-on, and active sites would be visible on the film as points of no exposure.<br /><br />(This would be a fun experiment ... but I wouldn't try it, because it's very likely there is no gamma shield, unless there is a credible report with evidence that there is. Someone inclined to accept W-L theory might try it.)<br /><br />(He's claiming that patches are as large as 100 microns.)<br /><br />There are *many* such arguments combined in the Lattice Energy documents. They only look at what might seem to confirm the theory, and ignore many obvious problems.<br /><br />b) Realistic or less realistic, I think it is not OK to consider a theory a HOAX. Take alook please to the Hoaxslayers site and you will get the difference.<br /><br />There are different kinds of hoaxes. "Hoax" is indeed a strong word, but I've not been implying "fraud," which is stronger.<br /><br />"C) I think such judgments have to be made only comparatively, take a lokk how virtuous is, say the<br />Schickelgruber-Dzhugashvili LENR theory and how vicious is the Widom Larsen theory. To be compared with a standard, i think."<br /><br />The theory is not vicious. However, I've been responding to vicious attacks on the integrity of many scientific researchers by a promoter of W-L theory, combined with fawning approval of the theory.<br /><br />W-L theory is highly unlikely to be significant in the FP Heat Effect. My position has become that there may be many low-level effects in certain environments, and neutron production and effects cannot be completely ruled out, there *are* low-level effects observed that might be explained that way. At the low levels, the gamma shield might not be necessary, or it might be less efficient.<br /><br />But as a purported explanation of the F-P Heat Effect, as it is being used, it's a hoax.Abd ulRahman Lomaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14566271926809161923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-326167780677397310.post-78118427770923463942013-03-21T14:24:20.228-07:002013-03-21T14:24:20.228-07:00The key mechanism of the W&L theory is defined...The key mechanism of the W&L theory is defined in a way to make it very hard or impossible to verify.<br /><br />The specification of the ultra-low energy neutron was engineered to make it virtually undetectable because it doesn’t move far from the nucleus before its immense nuclear absorption cross section results in its almost immediate incorporation into the nucleus immediately after its creation.<br /><br />The ultra-low energy neutron is a political windfall for LENR since it purportedly explains coulomb barrier penetration without the need to detect this particle.<br /><br />In my biased opinion, my plexciton theory is more experimentally practical.<br /><br />It is centered on an experimentally verified miracle called the hot spot.<br /><br />The hot spot in a lattice has been detected to concentrate input energy up to 500,000,000 times that into output energy levels. <br /><br />Other optimizations could push this concentration level into the trillions.<br /><br />The nice feature of my theory is that it can be experimentally verified. That means a lot.<br /><br />It seems natural to me that people interested in LENR should be interested in finding out more about these hot spots because such huge concentrations of energy are uncommon in nature especially since there is so much commonality between W&L theory and Plexciton theory. NASA even calls their version of W&L theory, Plexciton theory.<br /> <br /><br /> <br />Axilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07190120527431077518noreply@blogger.com
