DEC 27, 2015 THE INVISIBLE SHADOWS OF THE LENR SAGAS

MOTTO

He who has a why to live can bear almost any how. (Friedrich Nietzsche)

DAILY NOTES


As so many young people belonging to the East  European cultures- crippled temporary by Communism- I have heard first the word  "saga" when reading the series of novels of John Galsworthy "Forsyte Saga". In those dark years, culture was a means of survival so classics and everything not hostile to the regime was translated; books were cheap- from a monthly salary you could buy  more than 100 books. Now you can buy less then 10- probably. OK, I have read too the Icelander's Saga's - know well the rules of the genre.  A saga typically starts with the very long description of the genealogy of the hero- 50 names or more and even people with  good memory as me are unable and later unwilling to follow it. The vision is dark, pessimistic and usually catastrophic like in Wagner's Tetralogy. Not my style, I love Greek Gods and...Giuseppe Verdi- whom I consider my model of creativity.
It happened this morning that our colleague Lou Pagnuco has sent to Vortex a new patent describing  a catalyst somewhat similar to James Patterson's magic but lost beads- so here is the Patterson Saga...
"Jumping like a lion and falling like a stone" (OK not exactly stone but it also goes)
a metaphor coined by us young engineers at my very first workplace- for our  actions
that started with great enthusiasm but usually have collapsed or fizzled out in a few days. The three tragic sagas of our field Patterson, Cincinnati Cell and Leslie Case's catalytic case had longer duration but ended with lost, forgotten or unaccomplisef spell. I remember that at my visit in Sarasota in April 1997, James Patterson was still optimistic. But he could not manufacture a new generation of working beads. It was also a human tragedy due to the death of his grandson and heir in an accident.
The Cincinnati Cell Saga was a real tragedy and I have followed it up to the end; I have learned that research is a human endeavor- no divine help possible- and I have seen a great example of (un)actionable parameters.

Les Case- to whom I apologize now for not including him on the list of good men working in LENR- he was nice & good!- his Saga was less dramatic. I told Les more times that I have waited him to come and make my prediction about Cold Fusion from my "Topology is the key..." 1992 paper a reality. For some reason he did not succeeded also. Catalysis is only a necessary step but there are further steps as we see these days at Andrea Rossi.
By the way I heard gossip that the following two papers (already mentiond in my blog but ignored) about catalysis have inspired Andrea Rossi. Being from 2009  and 2010 these are more likely the end of a series of possibly illuminating readings about catalysis- we will never know but the replicators-in-spe could study them:

a) Influence of support on catalytic behavior of nickel catalysts in the steam reforming of ethanol for hydrogen reduction Environ Chem Lett (2010) 8:79–85
http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs10311-008-0195-5#page-2


b) Modification of nickel supported over ZnO for HDS of thiophene with neodymium
Journal of Rare Earths, Volume 27, Issue 3, June 2009, Pages 443–446

Surely it is something about the metal-support interaction, the white magic of classic heterogeneous catalysis. But what, in which form? The E-Cat knows and the X-Cat is even more smart and advanced.

5) At Vortex Lou Pagnuco tells about a new catalyst patent that re-connects us with the memory of the Patterson Cell:
CORE-SHELL CATALYST AND METHOD FOR PALLADIUM-BASED CORE PARTICLE


!6) TO MY HUNGARIAN READERS:
This is the Hungarian translation of Professor Huw Price's paper that has a great impact; our new friend Zoltan Rausch has made this translation

It will be seen soon after some supplimentary reviewing- at the request of Zoltan

Zoltan hopes to see creative LENR activity in Hungary too!

LENR IN CONTEXT-1

No Big Bang? Quantum equation predicts universe has no beginning

What has this to do with LENR? Probably more than we are able to understand
today when we have no Theory of LENR Otherness- however any action of destroing myths works for LENR too

LENR IN CONTEXT-2

Not a single word about LENR, however I find it wonderful that good books are still written:
Sunday lecture of the highest level and quality.

  1. I am not so sure the adsorption of H-atoms within a metal lattice is the only way to get cold fusion. There have to be a dense electromagnetic wave pattern (free electrons) and H-ions that are locked within a lattice. Every solid that contains H-ions (like a hydride) and has a lot of free electrons can act as "fuel". See http://vixra.org/abs/1512.0450

    1. THANKS!

      Who are you? Tell this openly, can be really important- your merit, you found it, you announce it? Can it make harm to you?

  2. Peter you should consider eliminating anonymous postings or contributions under false names. That would help to make the information presented on the blog more understandable. Within an anonymous sand box no one is responsible for what cat shares or buries what. As such the rule is don't touch anything in the sandbox.

    1. Dear Russ,
      you are right, however in practice there are interesting things coming from many kinds of people.
      Suppose the guy above is a physicist working in a place where it is a sacrilege saying something good about Cold Fusion LENR. The idea of the paper is at least interesting.

  3. Hi Peter,

    I am wondering what happened to Hadjichristos and Defkalion. Are they still working on their Hyperion reactors? Are they going to come back to life? If not, why not, if you know. Thanks.

    1. yes but I cannot predict when- it is about illness and finance

  4. You are right, Peter. There is usually a good reason for one to keep the name private. One might be a university science teacher who hasn't tenure yet, or a tenured, big name who doesn't want to be identified as interested in something controversial,
    There is some advantage to being a "Nobody with nothing."
    There is nothing to lose from speaking ones's mind. The bottom of the totem pole people with no position of any sort to lose, can speak quite frankly.
    For instance: "Black Holes, Matter-Anti-matter Annihilation, the Big Bang, the HIggs Boson, and its parent, the Standard Model, as well as the neutron-proton nucleus and the Four Forces, are all in error!"
    How is that for an old goat with nothing to lose sounding off? Happy New Year. Dean LeRoy Sinclair(PWT-PhD)
