Great video. Lots of drop-out but easier to catch than a black cat in a dark room, at least. ;-) Picks up steam around 25-28 minutes and keeps on rolling. (I'm at around 43 min so far and couldn't keep my mouth shut any longer. Think vinegar and baking soda when it starts SEEMING to make no sense... about "water". Nupe. It makes perfect sense. The two additives "refactor" into something more stable.)
Still watching but I think one of the main points is likely to be that LENR stands for Low Energy Nuclear ReFactoring. I share this concern about jumping the gun with names for things that produce a predilection to produce errors.
The translation may only work at YouTube. If you thought the lists of reactions was showing what SHOULD happen in LENR, you (like me) got the exact WRONG impression.
Thanks for the video Bob. Whoofff... there goes the roof. ;-) This is fantastic stuff.
1. We have Shoulders with smoke ring-like vortex structures consisting almost entirely of electrons and Matsumoto who saw microscopic tornado shapes during electrolysis. What do they have in common.
2. We have potentially harmful "birdies" (named for their "strange radiation" tracks) and we know that oxygen can absorb it, such as in Ohmasa gas..
This suggests a couple of things we could be looking at more seriously. a) for production of the fields/forces required for LENR and b) shielding to avoid unwanted effects.
And it raises questions about birdies: If they fly in pairs possibly separated by significant distances, which is a possibility suggested by their monopole-like behavior, then how many are getting neutralized by oxygen in the environment or air?
Hi Bob, here's a fairly recent article abstract about the helicity of relic neutrinos (with PDF download link for the complete paper) which the authors show has a definite direction. I imagine this helical motion might affect how they interact, as described by Parkhomov, with biological and technological processes. Cheers. https://journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevD.103.123019
I wonder why the opening 40 minutes must be devoted to "convincing" an audience that LENR is real and reviewing some previous models. I doubt any skeptics are watching. This sort of "apology" has been given hundreds of times by many dozens of researchers.
Love the Google-Translate "everyone knows that a neutron decays into a proton and a nectarine"
Is there anything new beyond the cold neutrino idea and the need to raise the chambers to ~2000 C ?
WxMaxima (or Xmaxima) is a Computer Algebra System (CAS) not quite as fancy as Mathematica but a lot more affordable. It's free.
It was developed by the US Department of Energy and later released to the public domain. The syntax might throw you at first but it's really not that hard to start crunching numbers and stuff.
Here's an example. It's for a single loop of current (but not a torus). Notice that this is an algebraic solution. The only literal numbers come from the constants (u[0] and pi).
Some YT videos do auto-translate to English, some don't. This one is (currently) only Russian at my end, but the slides are mostly stuff you've covered, so we (or just I?) may not be missing much.
The neutrino theory seems to be pretty much in the bag but the case for monopoles taking part in these reactions is not yet solid, at least as far as I've been able to determine at this point.
We see something when we drop iron filings on a piece of paper over a bar magnet, but as each iron particle becomes magnetized it would naturally attract those at it's N and S ends in a line but repel those next to it where the N and S poles would repel each other, creating gaps. The lines and gaps are what we call lines of flux. But are they?
Electrons DO swirl around what's considered magnetic lines of flux when they move along them, but if we think of the lines as being representations of gradients in the B (magnetic) field, then as momentum or some other force drives the electron down the line, the electron experiences an additional force at right angles to it's direction of travel, in accordance with the left hand rule for eLectrons in a coil
Wanna go THIS way? Go THAT way, and hope you eventually get there. This is the universe in which we live.
This effect happens everywhere along the supposed lines of flux between the N and S poles of a magnet just as iron filings line up from pole to pole. There is no null zone halfway between the two opposite poles where forces cancel each other out.
We enter this field of study with the firm understanding that electricity flows from negative to positive. In a way, it's more interesting that way. But maybe that's just me. ;-)

As usual, thank you for all your work, Bob.

Do magnetic field lines exist?
