Egeli - Design and Operation of Lenr Reactors

George Egely

Contrary to the general belief, LENR phenomenon is much richer than generally expected. Usually the electrochemical or hot nickel, hydrogen diffusion-based reactors are known. Most of the published test results are from this area.

Even in this area there are less commonly known, smart reactor designs, like Matsumoto's flat bottom cathode, light water-based reactors, or Parkhomov's separate heater/diffusion chamber reactors. Some of these reactors are discussed.

The other major group is the dust-based, oscillating plasma reactors. In fact, this is the most important, most frequent form of LENR in nature, because all stars are driven by this method, in the dust corona of all stars.

The temperature of the solar corona is over 5 million °C, while the surface of the Sun is a mere 7000 °C. There are a number of simple reactor designs where this oscillating dusty plasma is an efficient transmutation method.

A major, third group of reactors is driven with quasi-particles, like plasmons, coupled to charge waves in conductors. However, condensed plasmoids, or “exotic vacuum objects” play also a major role.

Several forgotten inventions are based on these nearly stable, nearly macroscopic objects. They are generated during spark formations. A number of research papers address this effect, like that of Matsumoto, J. Dafour, or Adamenko et al.,

Sparks are accepted forms of quasi-particles, but the cause of their stability is unknown. It is due to the unusual concentration of electrons and positive ions why it is capable of catalyzing fusion. These charge formations hide the condensed plasmoids, the LENR catalyzing particles.

A number of interesting reactor designs are based on sparks, including the water-based cars, like Papp's engine, Horvath's engine, etc. A number of such designs will be discussed in the paper.

There may be a fourth reactor group as well based on cavitation, on collapsing, plasma generating bubbles.

The most unusual, unexpected group is the mechanical LENR machines, like Testatika, the Hyde invention, and Godin-Roschin magnetic device based on Searl's invention.

The scope of LENR is much wider than assumed, beyond the wildest dream of researchers. There is one common thread, however, all of them are based on a catalytic process one way or another.

I am not being snarky, but I can’t help but think that when they figure this out it will turn out that they’ve been missing something really simple.

Kind of like the star-ship engine in the Douglas Adams novel that was powered by a wire placed into a cup of coffee.

The treatment of Pons and Fleischmann by the physics community will someday be seen to be as unjust as the treatment of Rosalind Franklin by the biology community, with the difference that whereas Dr. Franklin was excluded because of her sex, Pons and Fleischmann were excluded because of the stupidity and blindness of pretty much the entire world of "big science," who were made stupid and blind by their insane thirst for money and callous willingness to attack anything that stood even the slightest chance of endangering their seats on the gravy train.

The entire episode is one of the most spectacular examples of silliness of the expression "follow the science" ever to have been seen over the history of the human race, although it is not the only spectacular example this unfortunate phenomenon.

There’s no way it’ll be simple. There are multiple complicated factors in this phenomenom, which is one reason why it’s been reviled.

The trick will be when 8th graders start replicating results.

As interesting as the subject may be, this author needs to learn (or get help) to write in coherent English before he publishes on such an esoteric subject.

And all discussants should learn that "phenomenon" is a singular noun -- MIS-used when referring to a plethora of disparate phenomena.

Lingistic ignorance is the surest way to discredit even the cleverest and most significant research.

Pity...

If and when LENR breaks through its imposed vax by the Controlled Hot Fusion [CHF] physics agenda bureaucrats, I doubt they’ll put much value on the grammar police.
