LENR Roundup

[sparks]

  This reporter is on top of LENR research.  NASA is hopping on the bandwagon also.   Basically transmutation of stable elements to stable elements with access to the weak nuclear force doing the work.  Take atmospheric carbon dioxide and change it to nitrogen and oxygen.  The process is not fusion.  Though I believe it is the power supply for some of the unexplained gamma and antimatter generated in lightning storms.   Basically results from electron avalanches made possible by introduction of ionizing radiation into a stressed dielectric.  The electric field is responsible for the triggered electron avalanche just like gravity is responsible for snow avalanches.  The avalanche creates a dense accelerated negative plasma that slams into neutral stuff like water vapor=carbon dioxide=nitrogen that cause low energy nuclear reactions in the open atomosphere.  Just like lenr in the labs a small percentage are fusion reactions yielding gamma and antimatter but the bulk are just weak nuclear reactions.

Thank you for the wonderful link
The possibilities boggle the mind.

Here is a link to download many current (and past) papers on LENR.
Take a look, it's free as in beer.

While I follow this topic, I have no faith in Mr. Rossi's  version of scientific method.
Handling the ash is a big no no. And probably the reason that replications are failing.
For myself the issue with the coulomb barrier is the primary problem that I see. I can accept some of the reasoning on the lack of radiation.

They are in pdf format, the link may go away though. (It worked today)

All lenr is just a stressed thermodynamic hysteresis loop.the universe looks for the only way out of the loop and that is to collapse atomic matter within the loop.collapse it to the ground state,collapse it to the same extent that the hysterisis demands.extent of hysterisis=extent and rate of atomic decay to lower entropy states.let it be known that I'm the first guy in history to put this generalized mathmatical proportionality forward.

You aren't the first guy in history to be wrong, though.

You aren't even the first guy on this forum, today, to be wrong.
