That would give two equally-probable orientations of the hypothetical test dipole (or two directions for an electron in the case of electrical field) and is thus logically excluded. If such lines appear to intersect, you need to increase the resolution of the measurement.<br /><br />At atomic scales, any magnetic substance must have some high magnetic fields, even if we measure at macro scale and see no field. The fields are simply in smaller loops than we can measure. <br /><br />As such, the presence or absence of a large measurable magnetic field is probably irrelevant at the NAE itself. Above the Curie point, there will still be powerful fields acting and they should be also rapidly changing since the thermal energy is such that the tiny magnetic loops will be continually reforming in a different configuration. Maybe there is also a "superwave" where a larger than normal field is achieved for a short time.<br /><br />Given the relativistic transform between electrical and magnetic fields depending upon the frame of reference used, whether we talk about one or the other really depends on how we can most easily achieve the required conditions. Maybe a powerful rare-earth magnet would be easier than high voltages in our frame, but also it's likely that such a magnet would not need to have a macroscopically-measurable field, and that a powder or similar would be as good - maybe even better since all field orientations would exist in such a powder.Simon Derricutthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15137826634256652580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-326167780677397310.post-11915481972523735232016-12-19T13:43:36.867-08:002016-12-19T13:43:36.867-08:00I beleive that LENR causation is related to a spec...I beleive that LENR causation is related to a special type of magnetism (anisotropic magnetism) that is produced by rare earth magnets amongst other things. The Sun is a huge source of bent up and intersecting magnetic field lines, especially during sunspot generation and solar flares. <br /><br />If someone can show that a powerful rare earth magnet can stablized a radioactive isotope, that will sell the case for magnetism with bent up and disordered magnetic field lines.Axilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07190120527431077518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-326167780677397310.post-67786593188696552192016-12-19T06:37:00.298-08:002016-12-19T06:37:00.298-08:00The reactor may already be certified through the N...The reactor may already be certified through the Naval NRC certification program… <br /><br />Frank Carlucci is on GEC board of directors.

Kok http://proceedings.asmedigitalcollection.asme.org/proceeding.aspx?articleid=1832623<br /><br />Abstract<br />The purpose of this paper is to examine the energy and economic value of used nuclear fuel and depleted uranium. In the USA these materials are considered to be wastes. As such they are candidates for permanent disposal. The disposal of these materials in a manner that isolates them from human contact is a scientific, engineering, economic and political problem. Isolation can be defined requiring no potential human contact during a stated period of time due to failed containment. The period of isolation is expected to be in excess of one million years.<br /><br />The uranium in the used fuel and the depleted uranium left over from the enrichment process represent about 99.5 percent of the uranium that was removed from the ground by mining uranium ores. If these materials can be utilized they would not be considered to be wastes. In addition they would carry a positive economic value. The value of these materials, based on the energy that can be extracted from the uranium, exceeds $100 trillion. Based on this the conclusion is that the material is a very valuable resource and definitely is not a wasteG. B.

I might have expected that you'd have a list for these, since you collect a lot of pieces that are puzzling. <br /><br />My reasoning for the electrostatic potential being a possible cause of this was initially based on Hammack. Although we generally regard the Earth as the ground potential, against which we measure all other potentials, it's somewhat difficult to measure this absolute potential in relation to an "absolute" ground where we have exactly equal numbers of positive and negative charges; in addition to this that absolute equality is likely not even considered since we connect to the Earth and regard that as our zero point. This is unlikely to be true, given the changing polarity and strength of the solar wind and the changing distances between astronomical bodies. In the majority of tests for decay rates it also seems likely that the sample under test would be pretty well at ground potential. Maybe one of those things where we assume it's not going to be an issue and thus don't consider it. <br /><br />If we put a process that has a certain probability of producing electrons (beta decay) in an environment that is low in electrons (positively-charged) then it seems reasonable that the probability of producing an electron could be increased since the edge-cases (where an electron was almost freed) may have that little bit extra energy available. Though this effect must obviously be pretty small and need very high (relative) potentials to be unmistakeably measured, it really ought to be there.<br /><br />This could be a reason for the rapid decay of the Thorium under laser irradiation in the presence of nanoparticles of Gold - that will produce very high local electric fields. There may also be a link to fractofusion there, since a propagating crack in an ionic solid will also generate very high local fields at the apex of the crack. <br /><br />I do not think that this relates to LENR as such, since we're really talking about known reactions here that are triggered by high electrical fields. It may still have some bearing on how to induce nuclear reactions for cheap power generation though.<br /><br />Peter - you've been spammed by Natalie Ball (at least that's his/her tag) quite a few times recently. Maybe delete them as irrelevant to the articles?<br />Simon Derricutthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15137826634256652580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-326167780677397310.post-3937530670469907612016-12-19T00:41:39.511-08:002016-12-19T00:41:39.511-08:00One more issue about this LENR fusion hydbid react...One more issue about this LENR fusion hydbid reactor as follows:<br /><br />It takes billions of $ to get a reactor through NRC certification.

The importance of non-radioactive nuclear dense energy was not overlooked by the government. These labs and research programs are tasked with ensuring U.S technological advantage. No one would say that the Manhattan Project was a conspiracy and I think it is wrong to say these advanced LENR works are the results of one.<br /><br />My favorite LENR Mystery SPAWAR - GEC<br /><br />The Small Modular Generators (SMG's) using Hybrid Fusion (LENR) technology. The patent is US 8419919 B1 "System and Method for Generating Particles". It was filed in 2007, sequestered for a number of years and then granted in 2013. This is a cold fusion/LENR energy patent and it's inventors are, Pamela A. Boss, Frank E. Gordon, Stanislaw Szpak, and Lawrence Parker Galloway Forsley. Each are well known experts in the field of LENR. The original assignee is Jwk International Corporation, also The United States Of America As Represented By The Secretary Of The Navy.<br /><br />The SMG reactor patent is WO 2009108331A2 - A Hybrid Fusion Fast Fission Reactor. It is held by the Chief Scientist of Global Energy Corporation (GEC), Lawrence Parker Galloway Forsley. He was recently authorized, granted permission, by the U.S. Defense Threat Reduction Agency to publish a paper (along with his co-authors), covering 23 years of LENR research at Naval labs, entitled 'Investigation of Nano-Nuclear Reactions in Condensed Matter'. This paper does not mention these patents, never-the-less the technology is a result of this research. The reactors transmute nuclear waste to benign elements while producing high process steam, which can run the turbines at existing nuclear power plants.<br /><br />A few months ago Global Energy Corp. remodeled their website which now states, "GEC is currently negotiating several new SMG construction contracts ranging from 250MWe to 5GWe around the world".<br /><br />Another LENR Mystery for the list…<br /><br />Who are the Global Energy Corporation 250MWe to 5GWe SMG Hybrid LENR fusion fission GeNie reactor construction contracts with and where will they be built?<br /><br />For further reading, links and references, see the Linked In article…<br />'Pondering LENR Energy and the Global Energy Corporation GeNie Reactor' - October 17, 2016 gbgoble<br />https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/pondering-lenr-energy-global-corporation-genie-reactor-gregory-goble?trk=prof-postG.

Secrecy in Italy historically happened for so called state slaughters (terrorism acts or accidents favored/hidden by corrupted officials) and political murders. It's true that in the early '90s, many research funds where shifted from alternative clean energy sources (like solar and wind) to "gray area" sources, like incineration. Even assuming A.Rossi was in good faith, the work from that period (waste -> oil apparatus) that caused him environmental crimes accusations was actually in that "gray area".

"We assume that other influences are much more probable as the reason for the observed variations", explains PTB physicist Karsten Kossert.

Here too, even sophisticated analyzing methods give no indication of seasonal variations. It can thus be assumed that an influence of solar neutrinos on the radioactive decay does not exist − at least not in the order of magnitude postulated."<br /><br /><br />In a recent study, something is going on but it doesn't not look like neutrinos are the correct causation.<br /><br />http://file.scirp.org/pdf/NS_2016012914562302.pdf<br /><br />The Radioactivity of Nuclei & Solar Oscillations: New Experiments<br /><br />"6.
