DEC 25, 2015 ABOUT LENR AND PEACE , WITH AN EXCEPTIONAL CONTRIBUTION OF LEONID URUTSKOEV

MOTTO

Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding. (Albert Einstein)

Peace is not absence of conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means. (Ronald Reagan)

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. (
John F. Kennedy)


DAILY NOTES


The subject of today, PEACE-in, for, from, to- LENR is multi-facetted. but It is two sided;
- Outer peace- peace with the great scientific community;
- Inner peace- peace within our LENR community as a whole- but let's be well aware: it is 
a fragmented whole.
You have always to pay a price for peace, but for the future's sake take care it should not be
a too high price! It is not permitted to sacrifice, compromise or diminish in any way LENR Scientific Rights (the equivalent of the Human Rights) for acceptance, funds or good press-
to join the invisible Club of mainstream sciences. No, this would be a false, peace!

Outer peace of LENR

I spoke yesterday about GOODNESS in LENR- it is clearly and exclusively the Goodness in the group of selected. brave researchers who are dedicated and have sincere faith in the value of the LENR idea. LENR itself the scientific-technological field is far from being GOOD in the sense of conformism with the dominant paradigm. Actually saying LENR is good science, it does not break the rules and it respects all the old Laws is useless and counter-productive, the enemies, detractors, haters, those interested in its destruction are punishing any weakness with instant cruelty - no chances to convince them. Some know the truth but consider it too dangerous to be revealed now. The lack of successes smelling of technology, of LENR on the experimental side, the Rossi vs the Rest situation, the VUCA-ness of LENR, the painful lack of inner peace, (all temporary troubles but present now)  is in favor of those who want to slow down, retard the unstoppable development of this Energy Source that will bring radical transformations.

No, the Good Boy status does not fit LENR that does not breaks rules and does not violate Laws just has its own rules and Laws.
I will present now the opinion of a physicist who is both a leading experimentalist and a creative thinker, Leonid Urutskoev from whom I am trying to learn. My friend and I am proud of it. I have presented his LENR ideas on this blog, please do a search, he knows where and how have we to search for LENR's profound truths, regarding the physical nature of it.
From Leonid I have understood that a genuine expert researcher has his own style- so chances are that Rossi will not be caught up but surpassed one day.

He says: " my opinion is. that In the science we call LENR, at the moment there is in a stage of accumulation of experimental facts. This is a difficult stage in any new study and it can be quite painful." 

I think he refers more to the NiH branch of LENR, for PdD  a lot of data have been gathered but due to over-discussed factors, these  have not generated neither a predictive, practical theory nor a fertile seed of theory.

But now it is different, Leonid has here drawn a vivid analogy with what has happened in physics toward the end of the 19th century starting with the study of the emission spectra of very hot gases. You know the historical line from electrodynamics to the Balmer formula, quanta hypothesis, Bohr's phenomenological model,  then ideas.theory of de Broglie, the Schrodinger equation, Heisenberg's method and then everything stops. Leonid thinks that actually the "systematization was not ended and new things will come. (History does not repeat itself but rhymes) 
It is arrogance from my part to explain what this Physicist says but I will try- LENR will find final peace only when the truth is known:
"The existing LENR theories are still naive. We are faced with a fundamentally new phenomenon  I became convinced that the proposed theories will not be able to explain LENR
an entirely new vector (i.e. a new direction) and a new dimension have to be introduced.
The many tricks of the theorists (as heavier electron, tunneling for surpassing the barrier, creation of strong field in micro crevices etc) al these will not help the particles to overcome the Coulomb barrier with the high probabilities observed in the experimental reality. 
Also, it is obvious that nuclear fusion would lead to gamma radiation- however this is not observed. The nuclear reactions have a nature based on exchange.How can this happen? In my opinion it is only one possible condition: if the nucleon particles (protons and neutrons) start to behave as "photons" of different frequencies How/why could this happen? I do not know the answer yet, but perhaps the theoretical works of V.I. Manko and V.V. Dodonov can offer a slight hope of an explanation. It is about the formation of coherent, correlated or entagled quantum states. In the recent years Vladimir Vysotskii has also worked in this direction.
However even the success of this hypothesis will be only phenomenological because the phasing of the wave functions of those quantum particles is still entirely unclear/\.

In my opinion, this Problem needs a new "quantum hypothesis" that is a Scientist on the level of Planck or de Broglie.
But what can lead to such a hypothesis? Obviously experimentation! Good and different read unexpected as was Rossi's.
My opinion: the LENR problem is very complex and will almost certainly lead to the revison of parts of our basic physical concepts- and this is so interesting.

My best thanks to Leonid; I enjoyed so much this episode of being in consonance with his ideas, so I decided to publish them without delay and to continue to speak about LENR and peace tomorrow.

DEC 24, 2015 AN INHERENT LENR(IST) VALUE: GOOD(NESS)

DEAR READERS,

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR 2016!
WARMEST SEASON GREETING TO YOU ALL!
GRAND-FATHERLY, FATHERLY AND BROTHERLY BEST WISHES TO YOU, FRIENDS FROM MY SUNSET!

MOTTO

Goodness is about character - integrity, honesty, kindness, generosity, moral courage, and the like. More than anything else, it is about how we treat other people. (Dennis Prager)

The fragrance of flowers spreads only in the direction of the wind. But the goodness of a person spreads in all directions. (Chanakya)

My Septoe No 5/103 says:
"The Good and Evil are Siamese twins"
It is dreadful to see how these days some people are doing the most abominable
evil deeds, crimes, random innocentcides in the name of some supreme good. It was insinuated that there are two Surgeons wanting to separate the Siamese twins, Science with the price of sacrificing their heart and Religion getting rid of their brain but this an inadmissible metaphoric simplification, things are more complex and subtle.


DAILY NOTES

I consider that it was a great luck, good chance and fine privilege that I could dedicate more than the last third of my life to that great field and problem that has started as Cold Fusion, is now Low Energy Nuclear Reactions and will continue as 
Heat Energy from Nanoplasmonic Interactions or Useful Energy from Hydrogen Metal Deep Interactions- its past is mixed, its present is uncertain but its future is limitless.
Thousands of times of times I was informed by benevolent wise people that I am fighting for a lost cause, sometimes the slow and narrow progress -toward an energy source has made me sad, however never-ever i had doubts and regrets, and will not have, I am sure.
And my attitude of male Solvejg or Penelope was rewarded in many modes. First of all by the interestingness of the field- today writing systematically about the news and event in the field- make an excellent life-organizer for me. I am happily busy.
However today I want to tell you about an essential fact from our field: it is a very great number of people, who are really good, good hearted, nice, friendly, positive
- working in, fighting for or writing about LENR. LENR seems to be a magnet for 
such valuable individuals. Good of the best sort- active and more-proactive, courageously taking responsibility; attached to betterment and progress,reflecting on the human level what is goodness in nature- SYNERGY the benefic Force that made possible the evolution from existence to life and to conscience- human catalysts.
I want to speak about them with professional and with personal gratitude however 
it appears a self-imposed restriction: I will interpret the Latin saysing "De mortuis nil nisi bene" In a somewhat original mode- I am allowed to speak only about those 
good people who are not more with us but are patiently.waiting us to join them in the LENR Valhalla or Heaven.
My first meeting with the Cold fusion community was at IcCF-2 Como in 1991- I was very impressed by Martin Fleischmann- charismatic, radiating superior goodness, shining with wit and intelligence, glowing culture - a peculiar combination of K.u.K Austrian Empire multi-ethnic and British one plus Science as Culture values of the classic and imperishable Professorship.
I also met Hal Fox, we became friends- for the duration of his life, he has helped me to start writing about CF in his Fusion Facts, has sponsored my travel to the two Minsk Cold Fusion Conferences where I also have met good friends- about whom, luckily my sel-imposed rule says -do not tell.
It was such a honor and pleasure to work with Gene Mallove and with Christopher Tinsley- they both have great contributions to the field, Gene was an unique personality- a model for our writers and fighters. I am deeply indebted to Arthur C. Clarke- a giant of the literature and a giant of generosity.
My long-time best LENR friends, Mike Carrell and Akira Kawasaki, noble heroes both examples of altruism and determination to make LENR great and functional.
I cannot forget Claudio Ciavarolli from ONNE Italia who died so tragically young
and was so obviously, serenely  loving the people and trying to make life better for them. Surely I have forgotten more good people so - my apologies. Today it is a great density of good people in LENR, it is so good to collaborate with them!

Dear LENR-ists for the sake of our common cause, for the memory of our good colleagues, please do not forget that because what happens in the hot stars is not good for a cool, blue Planet full of live, Mankind has received a special miraculous Second Chance the tamed flames (nuclear cobras with venom teeth removed by the techno-dentist) , clean and powerful of LENR. Awake, researchers 
and make LENR and everyday ubiquitous Energy Source! Donate freedom to the slaves of the energy bills!

Electronic-Positron (Pairino’s) Structure of Nuclear Substance (Matter)

Skobeltsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics, Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow 119991, Russia 
Abstract: 
Decrease or enlargement of the number of pairinos in nuclei and as free nucleons, pairinos, electrinos, positpinos is a factor of destabilization in the matter and or environment. For the benefit of a electronic-positron structure the representations about an annihilation of the electronic-positron pairs, formation in substance electronic-positron of pairs under activity action of a gamma radiation, electronic and positron character of a beta radiation in nuclei are worked. Terminology: positrino, electrino, pairino. The new mechanism of a physical phenomenon, well explored to the present moment, with the conventional interpretation - mechanism of an annihilation of a free positron on electrons of substance is offered. That is the conventional point of view is those, that during annihilation the electron burns down, disappears or is transmuted into a gamma-quantum. In opinion of the author any facts or the proofs of such interpretation do not exist. The following mechanism therefore is offered: an electron and positron at coming together are discharged by two gamma-quantum and form pairino (unloaded electron - positron state with gravitational mass “m” about 2 eV, with compensation by electric charge, about an electrino by positrino interaction); that is the mechanism “cold” (low, is less than 10 KeV, energies) synthesis of pairino. The given mechanism of phenomenon of annihilation is more realisti

DEC 23, 2015, LENR RESEARCH STYLE?

MOTTO

The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate WITHIN that spectrum. (Noam Chomsky)
- I have shamelessly stolen the quote from Cobraf.it because it has positively shocked me as being so deeply true, in LENR too!)
What Chomsky says here is as "milk/strip the sacred cows, but do not convert them in hamburgers!"

There are sacred cows in conflict with Cold Fusion LENR; unfortunately our camp has also raised its own sacred cows- this is a metaphor for "has tried to idealize its own status and history" This is the reason for the total insuccess of my simple and honest idea of miscovery: "LENR is present in many forms and places but unfortunately it was discovered in the worst, where it is under-developed and weak,
much before its time by geniuses having inadequate professions" A birth with many uninvited angry and offended fairies. I will try to discuss this with Huw Price whose paper has a great success as you can see at News.

An other quote by a new friend:
"The problem with (education, science, business, whatever) is NOT that it offers bad models,but that it tries to convince us that these are definitive. (R.Z.) 
It is about how to make some cows sacred not in the meritocratic way.

These facts and ideas have to stimulate us to remain open minded!

DAILY NOTES

Again quoting a friend, we all are now far behind Rossi but in 2016 er must overcome this lag. This belongs to the spiritus loci, to the nature of things and is our elementary duty.

I want to call your kind attention to what I have learned from a really great experimenter physicist (I will write more about his ideas in the coming days).
He will not agree to make experiments as Rossi does them, because he has a completely different style- referring both to modus cogitandi and modus operandi.
Buffon would say: "The style is the researcher him/herself"
And when the genuine experts will enter the battle, chances are that they will be not able to catch up with Rossi, only to surpass him. Translated in technologese this means- alternative LENR solutions. It is full season for predictions for 2016.

DEC 22, 2015 LENR: ERRORS, SOME POSSIBLE FATAL MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE R&R SITUATION

MOTTO

The aim of science is not to open the door to infinite wisdom, but to set a limit to infinite error (Bertolt Brecht)

The real purpose of the scientific method is to make sure nature hasn’t misled you into thinking you know something you actually don’t know. (Robert M. Pirsig)

 DAILY NOTES  

I am patiently waiting answers with ideas and advices regarding the solution of the Rossi and the Rest problem but in meantime I am thinking about the many facets of the situation. I have a suspicion based on my personal philosophy and life experience of the priority and predominance of the negative factors; Isn't it possible that we make some errors, fatal ones that destroy the effectiveness and efficiency  
of the replication work, we are not doing the good things and we are not doing well what we do. First the younger generations of researchers are not educated  in the respect and fear of Murphy's Laws that are pernicious as ever and it is a fatal error to ignore or dismiss them.
I observe some trends that are surely harmful:
- overvaluing the difficulty but also the sophistication of the Solution and simultaneously undervaluing its complexity (multi-stageness) and strangeness/
otherness- it can be a new idea;
- a fatal trend to take local truths as global truths and vice-versa; 
- generalizing beyond reason; considering there is a single LENR, when actually there are more. For example taking an idea from the E-Cat X and trying to apply it 
to the lower temperature Rossi process from the 1MW plant. Even the inventor says they are different;
- trying to add things, ideas that are non-additive, in particular over-hybridizing fragments of remote theories; there are great chances that the resulting hybrids
are not like mules i.e. sterile but hard working- but simply non-viable;
- waiting for a salvation theory that explains equally well what happens in classic LENR but also the more energetic LENR+; scientific messianism not good!
- new theories create sometimes disproportionate enthusiasm and for a few days
are considered as panacea (the Lundin - Lidgren theory is a good example);
- fatal errors will convert a yes in no, let's avoid them!

The article by Prof. Huw Price is a very intelligent analysis of the LENR situation and it is not a case that he is a Professor of Science Philosophy at the University of Cambridge. I think that to obtain the attention of such a Professor and the publication on such a magazine is an important achievement that has to be respected in the sole important way: to work, work, work to bring the products to a massive market. Until we will not have reached that goal, we will have done nothing really important. This also answers to the question of yours.

Active quantum plasmonics


Science Advances  18 Dec 2015:
Vol. 1, no. 11, e1501095
DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.1501095


Abstract

The ability of localized surface plasmons to squeeze light and engineer nanoscale electromagnetic fields through electron-photon coupling at dimensions below the wavelength has turned plasmonics into a driving tool in a variety of technological applications, targeting novel and more efficient optoelectronic processes. In this context, the development of active control of plasmon excitations is a major fundamental and practical challenge. We propose a mechanism for fast and active control of the optical response of metallic nanostructures based on exploiting quantum effects in subnanometric plasmonic gaps. By applying an external dc bias across a narrow gap, a substantial change in the tunneling conductance across the junction can be induced at optical frequencies, which modifies the plasmonic resonances of the system in a reversible manner. We demonstrate the feasibility of the concept using time-dependent density functional theory calculations. Thus, along with two-dimensional structures, metal nanoparticle plasmonics can benefit from the reversibility, fast response time, and versatility of an active control strategy based on applied bias. The proposed electrical manipulation of light using quantum plasmonics establishes a new platform for many practical applications in optoelectronics.

DEC 21, 2015 LENR SCIENCE OF HIGH LEVEL AT NICHENERGY, PIANTELLI

MOTTO

It is very easy to find lots of wise quotations about the many virtues of small steps. True in the 
majority of cases including in research and development.
I am manufacturing the Motto now, based on my classic speech at a Chemical engineering conference organized at OLTCHIM Ramnicu Valcea, I think in 1975 at the heigth of my PVC research activity:"Advices to young researchers and young married": 
"There are some things you cannot do bit by bit, step by step! Do not beware of excesses!"

The present action of trying to change the undesirable state of affairs, Andrea Rossi's relative omniscience and the Rest's ignorance of the essence of usable LENR needs a combination of huge leaps and of small steps. Psychologically it needs a strong desire to solve the problem, and positive- yes we can too! thinking.
Today I have started to discuss systematically with people wiser, better informed and more influential than me.

DAILY NOTES

Searching for quotes for small steps I came upon this one:

Likewise nanotechnology will, once it gets under way, depend on the tools we have then and our ability to use them, and not on the steps that got us there. (K. Eric Drexler)

It is a new aspect of small steps, unexpected things happen when the stepps are very, very small. Nano-steps can bring huge change and we have to be increasingly aware of the importance of nano LENR. The importance of nano-, structures and - plasmonics for LENR
and LENR+ cannot be exaggerated.Today's most interesting event is the revival of NICHENERGY's website, Francesco Piantelli 
has first understood the role of nanostructures in LENR- at the site thesea re called "nickel clusters" Perhaps nano- is the basic necessary condition for good LENR, I think some dynamc factors make the sufficient condition.
The CEO of NICHENERGY has told me that Piantelli is very active despite his age and  there are some papers in preparation. We have received a new proof that very high quality scientific work was done in NiH not only in the PdD system.
It is simply sensational how long duration excess heat effects had been achieved in Piantelli's lab.

I recommend you to read paper no 4)

Maryana:
It is not possible to state a precise date, because we have to complete 350 days of efficient operation within a period of 400 days from the official start up of the test on course. The 400 days will expire at the end of March, while the date the test will have been finished will depend on how many days the plant will have been stopped for ordinary and extraordinary maintainance and reparations.
Assuming we will use all the 400 days allowed, the test will end around the end of March. If we will use all the 400 days allowed or less, is a question that would require a cristal ball to be answered.
Warm Regards,
A.R.


LENR-CONTEXT-1
Paris Climate Agreement Rests on Shaky Technological Foundations
The effort to limit global climate change relies on technologies that are unproven or even illusory.
Nothing about LENR

DEC 20, 2015 PEACEFUL REVOLT AGAINST THE " ROSSI AND THE REST" SITUATION IN LENR (II)


MOTTO

We are a failed species, unless we switch to LENR energy sources, IMMEDIATELY!!!
http://lunaticoutpost.com/newreply.php?tid=610146&replyto=11590599
a tradical LENR supporter!

DAILY NOTES  (these are raw notes)

a) like economics research is going well only if it grows, not only the vslue but its first order derivative, research defined by and as progress;

Rossi's grey magic, occult knowledge- a challenge to science, scientists, technologist researchers and research managers

to learn both negative (what does not work) and positive (what may work) 
learn  equal discover, reveal, understand. make real, achieve
to distinguish essential from marginal, relevant from irrelevant, true from misleading

what can we learn from Rossi's blog and interviews
what can we learn from Rossi's patent(s)? (David French)
what can we learn from the experience of the Lugano Testers?
what can we learn from Rossi's relation about his AHA moment?

what can we learn from the Piantelli NiH literature?
what can we learn from Defkalion's publications and statements?

what can we learn from the experience of the Replicators?
what can we learn from the initial and from the long term PdD experience
create active sites- LENR

continuously create active sites- LENR+;
 nickel pre-activated, pre-hydrogenated?
suggestions for working hypotheses?

b) an exercise in problem solving- what can we learn about Rossi's secret from my 20 problem solving rules 

1. There are NO isolated problems, they always come in dynamic bunches
very probably there is no one single secret but a combination- coming from catalysis, nanotechnology, exotic nuclear physics;

2. There are NO final solutions for the really great problems, these have to be solved again and again.
- the solution is a living one, more of a solution process, ever increasing and adding important details;


3. NOT solving the problem, but defining it is the critical step.
- this rule shows that we are in very deep trouble- a problem defined is half solved, a problem so badly defined as LENR is 90% unsolved;

4. NOT the unknown data, but those known and untrue are the greatest obstacle to this solution.
- yes, our pet myths and local memes are obstacles to get the idea of this secret and to apply it boldly;

5. .NOT what we know, but what we don’t know is more important for solving the problem.
- this is a perverse rule of research very disliked however true- and we do not knot a lot of things and those we know cannot be applied to a solution;


6. NOT the main desired positive effect, but those secondary negative and/or undesired effects decide in most cases if a solution is implemented.
- an other cruel aspect of reality, and many times it is more difficult to eliminate negative effects than to enhance positive ones;

7. NOT all problems have a complete, genuine solution.- we will learn this later- this is kind of endless research;
8. NOT the solutions that seem perfect from the start, but those which are very perfectible are the best in many cases.
- we have to seek solutions that are perfectible better than perfect, this
goes so well with my expectation that we will have first just principles and recipes,
rather than a genuine fine theory;

9. NOT the bright, shiny, spectacular solutions but those elaborated, worked out with difficulty and effort and patience are more valuable and have a larger area of applicability.
- solutions come dressed in overalls;

10. NOT the solutions that are logical and perfectly rational, but those that are adequate for the feelings of the potential users, even if they are illogical, have the greatest chances of fast implementation
- this shows we have to use with courage the methods of stimulating creativity and practice superlogical thinking; it seems Rossi has done this;

11. NOT the quality of the solution but the speed of its implementation is the decisive factor in many cases. It can be better to have a partial solution applied fast than a slower almost perfect solution.
- this one of my favorite rules and I think it has to be applied whenever and whereever possible; these two weekend days I couldn''t do it but tomorrow comes the brainstorm!

 12. NOT always long hours of hard work and great efforts, but (sometimes) relaxation and fun is the best way to obtain solutions for (awfully) difficult problems.
it is wise to hire researchers with green fingers and, why not, luck, life and research are not permanent meritocracies and not completely rational; serendipity has a luck component;

13. NOT our own problems, but the problems of other people are usually more boldly and creatively solved by us
this is true for other people too, LENR was athe problem of a community but was solved by an outsider; can this be repeated now? Let's people who hear now about LENR to help us...such things have psychological explanations;

14. NOT the solutions worked out by us, but those borrowed. bought or stolen from others are more easily accepted and implemented.
- let's use other people's ideas, let's seek inspiration and quite remote bisociations!

15. NOT the enhancement of human strengths but the limitation of human weaknesses is more useful for efficient problem solving
- this is a noble idea, sometimes too noble, people tend to over-use their strengths and to ignore their weak points;

16. NOT the very careful perfect planning, but the smart assuming of risks and firm decision taking are the practical keys to successful problem solving.
- it's about courage; experience, character, we need leaders!

17. NOT always the existent, real problems, but many times the fictive, imaginary ones are the most difficult to be solved.
- fine in theory, but surely we add imaginary problems to the real one, let's pray that
the Gods of research should endow us with wisdom- we need it it!

18. Do NOT accept the premises of the problem, change them as necessary and possible.
- this is what I am repeating all the time, we have to apply technology to make the LENR science and  solutions possible; Technology First!

19. Do NOT stop at the first solution, seek for alternatives.
- but first comes a First Solution, then we will continue!

20. NOT the wise application of these rules but the finding of the specific exceptions to these, is the real high art of problem solving.
- it is  a basic rule that reality respects rules and Laws however sometimes it selects new rules and Laws

The search for new energies (a German language paper- from LENR Forum)
Die Suche nach neuen Energien
http://www.lenr-forum.com/forum/index.php/Thread/2393-Kieler-Nachrichten-Die-Suche-nach-neuen-Energien/?postID=10453#post10453

"One of the technologies that could be part of the initiative is LENR (Low Energy Nuclear Reaction) a means of producing energy first erroneously described as Cold Fusion. "In meantime it will be given a physics based explanation of the phenomenon. In many countries it is considered that LENR will be a key technology
of the coming energy politics." says Wolfgang Herda a 71 years old engineer whose professional career/life was at Dr. Hell and Siemens. He is angry because st the international congresses of LENR- there are participating 21 countries and Germany is not there. Bill Gates and his Fund have also discovered LENR/ However in Germany the emphasis is on wind energy and photovoliaics f\despite their obvious drawbacks but starting with 2015 the initiative has to make progress and therefore information about LENR is a must."

Gordon Miles:
While the E-Cat X is a different thing from the low temperature 1MW E-Cat and they have different destinations, the R&D on course with both generates a synergy of their evolution. They do not bump each other, what happens is exactly the contrary.
