    Frank Znidarsic and A Paradigm for Classical Physics (Guest Post)

    E-Cat World

    By admin
    8/20/2013

    Excerpt:

    The following is a guest post written by E-Cat World reader Gordon Docherty

    Frank Znidarsic is a physicist and electrical engineer who has been investigating new sources of energy for twenty years, examining research done in cold fusion and antigravity, looking for common themes and elements in that research.

    The eventual product of his investigation has been the development of a startling new theory of quantum reality, the Z-theory, which states that “The constants of motion in a Bose-Einstein Condensate tend toward the electromagnetic, when stimulated at a dimensional frequency of 1.094 megahertz-meters”. In deriving this theory, Znidarsic paid particular attention to what, over the years, has tended to be ignored by the physics community – the (local) magnetic component of the gravitational, electrical and nuclear forces, that is, the magnetic component of the gravito-magnetic, electro-magnetic and spin-orbit forces.

    He has published several essays on the subject that he hopes will one day be peer reviewed – if any physicists care to do so (an example paper may be accessed through the following URL):

    http://www.gsjournal.net/Science-Jou...says/View/4050

    Until now, whilst his theory is undoubtedly brilliant, it has languished somewhat “in quiet waters” due to Znidarsic’s own quiet nature. Now, however, a physicist who has enthusiastically looked into Znidarsic’s work, Lane Davis, has put together an informative set of excellently produced 20 x 10-to-15-minute YouTube videos, the first of which is shown below:

    A full list of the videos can be found here.

    All the videos are well worth watching, and are presented in a form that is accessible to both young and old, lay person and expert alike (although the background music is likely to be appreciated more by younger viewers than older ones!). Still, the main aim of Lane in producing these videos is not to produce a set of dry tombs lacking in any form of inspiration, but a set of videos to help inspire and speed understanding, by stimulating multiple senses in the “viewer” to make a deeper, even lasting, impression, in order to encourage viewers to think about Frank Znidarsic’s theories and so help “spread the word”.

    The YouTube videos start by reviewing the story of “cold fusion” as it has unfolded since Pons and Fleischmann’s initial announcement in 1989, before moving on to “Plasmonics” (Plasmons being electrons stimulated by an external source such as a laser or heat source to form coherent waves), Bose-Einstein condensates and the vibrational stimulation of Bose-Einstein condensates with a dimensional frequency of 1.094 MHz-metres (1.094 million m/s), and eventually onto the subject of the “quantum transition”.

    In the process, the videos look into the 100% energy transfer seen when a photon transitions after striking other particles, and the importance of matching impedance in attaining this 100% (loss-less) energy transition, before considering how cohering the (local) magnetic components of the gravitational, electrical and nuclear forces can be used to induce localized lossless impedance on the macro scale (think of stepping from one vehicle to another when both vehicles are twisting and turning in unison – it doesn’t matter if one is big and one is small, the rate of change in their relationship is at all times 0, so the step is easy and “time forgiving”, requiring little effort or haste).

    Particularly covered in the videos is the importance of matching the speed of light (normally around 300 million metres per second in a vacuum, but variable in Bose-Einstein condensates in particular, where photons has been slowed down to around 17 metres per second without an overall loss of energy) with the speed of phonons in a material (induced by plasmonic stimulation). Of particular significance to this “slowing down” is the transitioning of photons from “open” waves to “closed” virtual particles of diameter lambda (the frequency of the wave), as they collide with other particles or light waves in the Condensate. From this, Znidarsic goes on to observe that photons, with a positive and negative part, form a natural capacitor when they collapse to virtual particles, and, using the relation between energy and capacitance, and the speed of phonons stimulated in the Bose-Einstein state to achieve the observable effects on gravitational and nuclear forces, derives a value that has, until now, just been a number “magically produced out thin air” – Planks’ Constant. All this Znidarsic does within a classical physics framework, without breaking any laws (including conservation of energy): the videos by Davis also go on to stress how quantum physics should be seen as a subset of classical physics, not the other way around.

    Most importantly for LENR, Davis covers Znidarsic’s observation that, as magnetic components are local in nature, they can be changed up and down without violating any of the laws of the conservation of energy, and it is manipulation of the magnetic component of the three forces of electro-magnetism, gravito-magnetism and spin-orbit forces that produces the apparently “magic” effects. In particular, for LENR, manipulating the magnetic component of the spin-orbit (strong nuclear) force allows the forces to be magnified outside of the Coulomb barrier without the need for massive brute force.

    Instead of using brute force to overwhelm the Coulomb barrier, in other words, by amplifying the magnetic component of the spin orbit force, the range of this strong nuclear force can be expanded out beyond the Coulomb barrier, so allowing adjacent nuclei to reach out “and reel each other in”.

    To illustrate this effect, Davis shows an “everyday” example from the equivalent effect seen with electro-magnetic forces: Davis presents the example of how a (passive) iron bar, inserted into an electrical coil with a hitherto “air” core, magnifies the magnetic component (the “magnetism” of the electro-magnet) without requiring any more current to be drawn or voltage increase in the electro-magnet, something that is demonstrated day-in, day-out in school physics labs around the world. Davis then goes on to apply the same concept to the gravitational force (however that is understood), pointing out that amplifying the gravitational field of a cluster of atoms can produce an effective artificial gravity force (or repulsion, depending on geometrical configuration), as has been claimed in several, independent experiments that all involved gyroscopic rotation in one form or another.

    Davis also mentions that, at least to date, we have been unable to produce large clusters of atoms (Bose-Einstein Condensates) where photonic and phononic speeds are equivalenced, except initially at very low temperatures (2K), where Helium was used and, later, at 90K, for another more complex material. It would appear, however, that small, localized Bose-Einstein Condensates can be induced more easily, by applying the correct plasmonic stimulation frequency to (faceted) granular powders, provided the dimensions of the granules and the plasmonic stimulation frequency combine to produce a dimensional frequency of 1.094MHz-metre.

    So, for example, when using granules in the 50 nanometre range, a plasmonic stimulation frequency of 10^14 Hz produces the dimensional frequency of 1.094MHz-metre. This is exactly as is seen in the e-Cat, Defkalion and Blacklight Power devices (Znidarsic recognized the significance of matching size to frequency BEFORE work by the likes of Rossi empirically showed up this relation).

    According to Znidarsic, a Nickel powder placed under pressure (to allow transmission of phonons created through plasmonic stimulation) and then loaded with monatomic Hydrogen, is likely to produce significant excess heat — exactly as seen in the E-Cat, Defkalion and Blacklight Power devices. Of course, heat and some form of catalyst is required to increase the dissolution and mobility of the Hydrogen atoms and their absorption into the Nickel lattice and, likely as not, some form of heavy electron shielding is also playing a significant part, but it would appear that what is being described by Znidarsic does come into play in a significant way: indeed, this multiple combination of engineered factors is a likely reason why a glass of water, when poured over an old, worn, EPNS fork, does not cause a spontaneous increase in heat, nor why this effect is not readily observed in nature.

    Rossi: Nothing Wrong With Current Physics [Updated]

    E-Cat World

    By admin
    8/21/2013

    Excerpt:

    Here’s a comment by Andrea Rossi today which reiterates his stance regarding his discovery (again he refers to the “Rossi Effect” — maybe now an official marketing term) in terms of current physics:

    Andrea Rossi
    August 20th, 2013 at 11:38 PM

    Eric Ashworth:
    There are no cospiracies: all we have to do is make good products, and the market will use them. In our work and in the Rossi Effect there is nothing strange or exoteric or anything that can put in crisis the rules of Physics. I work using the well known rules, that we studied very well. No new physics have to be expected from my work, just a better use of the Physics we already have.
    Warm Regards,
    A.R.


    This should be a comfort to scientists the world over — but it’s not possible to fully evaluate his statement without the publication of his theory, and it could be a while before we learn about it.

    UPDATE: More related Q & A’s

    Dear Andrea,
    You wrote:
    «No new physics have to be expected from my work, just a better use of the Physics we already have.»
    It is extremely interesting puzzle. While anticipating the time you will be granted of an international patent, and you can publish a theory/design of E-Cat, fearing not the loss of IP, I’d like to get a hint.
    What period the physics/chemistry’s discoveries as basic for your vision of main processes inside the E-Cat belong of:
    1. After 1989
    2. Between 1957 and 1989
    3. 1939-1957
    4. Before 1939

    Best Regards,

    I would say 1939 (Enrico Fermi) and 1989.

    Andrea
    you spoke twice of Rossi Effect.
    That’s extremely important IMO, I do not ask what it is (maybe you can not answer), but I ask what it refers to.
    The Rossi Effect what it refers to?
    Catalyst?
    Properties of Nickel lattice?
    A kind of collective phenomenon?
    Thanks
    Giuliano Bettini.

    Giuliano Bettini:
    Here have named my process the “Rossi Effect” referring to the collective phenomenon ( whose mechanism has now been completely understood).
    Warm Regards,
    A.R.


    Excerpts from the comments section:

    Roger Bird on August 21, 2013 at 4:00 pm

    JJE, I feel your frustration. The LENR effect is a way of going around the Coulomb Barrier. Remember that the Coulomb Barrier was determined under very specific circumstances, that of particles moving at 1/20th of the speed of light or more and having two protons smash into each other. Most of the theories that I have seen about LENR are some variation on an electron marrying a proton and becoming a neutron, and the neutron waltzing into the next nucleus. Then in the nucleus the neutron getting divorced and becoming an electron and a proton again. Sort of like the electron escorts the proton past the Coulomb Barrier.

    Robyn Wyrick on August 22, 2013 at 2:33 am

    That’s a great metaphor.


    Preston on August 21, 2013 at 4:15 pm

    No, Rossi is right, it’s not new physics.

    The Coulomb barrier is not an issue, the process doesn’t require two protons to fuse. What happens is either by electron capture, or just real close elongated orbits the proton either turns into a neutron, or it just acts like one. Since it’s a neutral particle, there is no coulomb barrier to overcome.

    Current physics already recognizes Muon catalyzed cold fusion. Muons are like electrons, but heavier so they naturally orbit closer to the nucleolus. Make hydorgen out of muons and they will fuse. Current physics also already recognizes electron capture, where a proton captures an electron and turns into a neutron. One thing that happens even in hot fusion is quantum mechanical tunneling. The two protons just need to get close enough to tunnel, they don’t have to actually hit each other.

    What Rossi is saying is good, it’s not like blacklight power, or telsa coils, or the Keshe foundation, etc that all postulated new physics. And it’s not even like dark matter or dark energy, no really new physics is needed.

      About the secret catalyzer used by Andrea Rossi in his E-cat reactor.

      Ego Out

      Guest Editorial by Stoyan Sarg Sargoytchev, York University, Canada
      10/17/2013

      Excerpts:

      The analysis of some LENR experiments provided in my article in General Science Magazine [1] and in my recent book, Physics of Nuclear Fusion [2], leads to the suggestion what could be the Rossi catalyzer used in his E-cat reactor. In the E-cat reactor of Andrea Rossi and Hyperion reactor of Defkalion [3] one and a same nuclear reaction Ni + H -> Cu is reported. Despite some differences in the technical approach, the analysis unveils that one and a same physical phenomenon takes place in both rectors. In Hyperion reactor the high voltage discharge firstly causes a dissociation of the molecular to atomic hydrogen and then obtaining of a proper Rydberg state of the hydrogen. According to the source [4], Strongly magnetized Rydberg atoms and plasmas continue to attract interest for several reasons; they represent a well-known paradigm for quantum-chaos, exhibit interesting collective and collisional properties and may provide a superior route towards simultaneous atom-plasma confinement and control.

      My theoretical work [1,2,5] and experimental research on cold plasma [2] reveals the existence of a specific state of the Rydberg atom of hydrogen in which the orbiting electron does not emits optical spectrum, while its magnetic moment becomes detectable. This is a new distinguishable feature of this state, so it is called ion-electron pair. The stability of this ion-electron pair is kept by the attractive Coulomb forces, while the electron rotating around the heavier ion (proton in case of hydrogen) drives the pair due to its anomalous magnetic moment. The electron has 658 times greater magnetic moment than the proton, so the magnetic fields from a large number of ion-electron pairs combine constructively in clusters creating a much stronger magnetic field. The strong magnetic field detected during the live test of Hyperion reactor broadcasted on 22-23 July 2013 might be a signature of this effect. The magnetic field of some ion-electron pair interacts with the nuclear magnetic moment of the nucleus that is in a proper nuclear spin state. As a result the Coulomb barrier is overcome, so the proton from the hydrogen ion-electron pair is fused to the nickel nucleus converted it to a copper. The proper nuclear spin facilitates the cold fusion process, according to Ruggero Santilli, as discussed in [2]. In the Hyperion reactor, the creation of ion-electron pairs (Rydberg atoms) is caused by the high voltage plasma discharge. In the E-cat reactor, this phenomenon might be invoked by beta particles emitted by some radioactive isotopes. This could be the secret catalyzer used by Rossi in his E-cat device. Practically it is not convenient to mix the radioactive beta emitters with the nickel powder. It is more appropriate to place them at the outside wall of the container holding the powder. Then the external shield of beryllium used in the E-cat reactor might play a double role: shielding the external environments from the beta particles and shielding from some radiation obtained due to nuclear reactions. In provided public test Rossi did not allow close examination of the E-cat device by sensitive detectors. -
      (bold and color emphasis added)
      ....................................

      In conclusion, the Rossi secret could be uncovered by experimenting with beta emitters. There is a large variety of such isotopes produced for medical purpose and defectoscopy.

        E-cat is captivating. I have been trying to follow your posts here Bruce as well as what I've read on Google. I have some related material (sort of related but not really, only in the regard that it was new and people doubted it even though it could be real) regarding a free energy machine called Methernitha (invented I think in Switzerland).

          MFMP Report Detection of Unusual Gamma Rays [Updated: Biberian Replicates]

          E-Cat World

          11/7/2013

          Excerpt:

          There is a new blog post on the Martin Fleischmann Memorial Project’s quantumheat.org site titled “Gamma” reporting on an interesting development in their experimental work. In the course of one experiment, Mathieu found something interesting as he refilled a leaking cell:

          Adjacent to the cells he had placed an unshielded geiger counter that normally registered around 22 counts per minute dropping to 12 and rising to around 30. In September 2013, he noticed that each time he refilled the cells, shortly afterwards, the counts leapt up to around 60-90

          Background radiation was reported as being between 12-28 pulses per minute, and with the recharged cell, the count rose to 40+

          The team has been able to obtain a NaI (TI) radiation detector which will be much more precise in measuring gamma rays than the geiger counter they have been using so far.

          Why do the MFMP see this as such important news? Well, so far they have not been fully confident that excess heat measurements they have seen to this point have been strong enough to provide proof of LENR. They say:

          to put it plain and simple – it would mean that we have a incontrovertible demonstration of Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR).

          Additionally, knowing the energies of any Gamma emissions would help determine the underlying process and help indicate what power can be achieved by singular events and overall potential yield. Lastly, it will help dictate paths for material science, control, stimulation and safe operation that will take the technology forward.

            Leaked Second Paper With High Magnification of Rossi's Nickel Particles Brings Replication Closer

            A previously withheld paper from last year has appeared and provides detailed analysis of Andrea Rossi's E-Cat powder. The images provided of the nickel, at high magnification, show detailed structures that provide important clues to facilitate replication of the E-Cat.

            PESN (PureEnergySystems.com)

            Hank Mills
            10/13/2014

            Excerpt:

            On October 8th of 2014, a group of scientists and researchers from across Europe released a paper describing a month long test of Andrea Rossi's E-Cat or Energy Catalyzer. (See PESWiki's news chronicle of this as it unfolds.) In addition to reporting on a clearly anomalous production of heat -- ~3.5 times more than the energy put into the system -- this paper, completely uncensored, revealed crucial information about the composition of the fuel used in the device. The high performance of the device ruled out any known chemical source of power by many orders of magnitude. PESN posted a feature story about this paper titled, “Apocalypse: The Four Horsemen of Andrea Rossi's E-Cat.”

            Now, an additional paper has been released that provides additional analysis and even higher magnification scanning electron microscope images of the powder used in the reactor. In particular, nickel particles have been zoomed in on to reveal fine, detailed structures. These tubercles, cracks, and folds are most certainly critical to the ability of the E-Cat to produce practical quantities of power.

            The article titled, “Analysis of Two Types of Nickel Powder” (source) was written in Swedish, but Google provides an adequate translation to English that seems fairly easy to read. The primary author of the paper is "Curt, Edstrom, Ralon", and is dated January 17th, 2013.

            The twenty-one-page paper provides the following introduction (translated by Google, with a few edits).

            Samples obtained from Sven Kullander in December have been analyzed. The samples consisted of two bottles with approximately 1 gram in each bottle. One bottle is called “NEW” and contained the nickel powder Rossi used in the reactor, taken before any activity has occurred. The second bottle is called “OLD” and it contained powder used in one of Rossi's reactors for about 6 months. This bottle also contained approximately 1 gram of powder.

            When you look macroscopically on the samples, one can get the impression that nickel transformed by a nuclear reaction. At a more detailed level, it seems unlikely that the nickel is first converted to other elements where these then format the new structures. The only difference between the nickel powder in the new and old sample is a little “hump” in spectrum at the iron (Fig. 13 and 17 but not in Fig. 4), the signal is so weak that it is about trace amounts and may be derived from contamination of adjacent iron particles. If there is an exothermic nuclear reaction that can transform nickel isotopes or iron isotopes [they are] are unfamiliar [to us].

            On the grain that contained Ni in the “old” sample measured no Cu whatsoever. The detection limit for Cu is lower than 1%, but to safely determine, the level should be about 1% Cu present. If there is some kind of unknown nuclear reaction where Cu is formed from Ni in any greater amount that is not decayed back to Ni, Cu must be embedded in the Ni grains.

            A portion of this fragment can be oxidized, hence the presence of oxygen. Cu and P occur in a very common alloy used in brazing. Lod with CuP at these proportions are particularly common in plumbing jobs. Is it possible that this fragment is derived from such solder joints? The reactors constructed by Rossi seems to have consisted, among other things, of a brazed copper details.

            To understand this paper, written in 2013, to the most recent paper released on Oct. 8th of 2014, you must realize that the powder tested in this older analysis was not from a different type of reactor. Certainly, the powder tested in 2013 did not come from the same model of high temperature reactor as in the 2014 analysis. Most likely, the powder came from a low temperature E-Cat reactor. Because of this, the additives or “catalysts” used in the two different powders are most likely different to some degree. However, I think it is likely that the basic nickel powder used is probably very similar. Both the old and new powder can produce vast quantities of excess heat when correctly stimulated by alternating current and heat.

            A professional, high quality comparison of the analysis of the powder in both of these papers would be time consuming and require a great deal of knowledge in the field of material analysis. So in order to get the news out about the release of this paper, I will avoid going into excessive detail about every aspect of this paper. Other individuals, far more qualified than myself, will be more capable of providing such a comparison. Instead, I will post several facts and observations I have gathered from looking at the figures and reading the text of the paper.

            More Fascinating Information

            As mentioned in the excerpt above, in this paper, two types of powder are studied: “new” and “old.” The new powder is fuel that had never been placed in an E-Cat reactor, and the old powder is fuel that had been used for six months. In alignment with the paper released on Oct. 8th, the new powder was composed of uniform particles of about one millimeter by one millimeter. The old powder, however, had a variety of particle geometries and was of a clumpy appearance. It seems that reactions took place in the old powder that may have caused the non-uniformity.

            Analysis of the new powder revealed only carbon, oxygen, and nickel to be present. It is also important to understand that this method of testing cannot detect hydrogen or Lithium – both of which were found in the Oct. 8th paper. So these elements may, or may not, be present. The sample was prepared for analysis by placing it on a piece of tape which contained the elements carbon, hydrogen, and, according to the authors, possibly oxygen. This means it is possible that some percentage of the carbon and oxygen detected in the sample may be from the tape. The old powder, however, shows a wider variety of elements present, including the elements C, O, Mg, Si, P, Ca Fe, Cu, and Ni.

              Discussion Regarding Report on E-Cat by universities of Bologna, Uppsala, and Royal Institute of Tech

              Posted by vlad 10/22/2014

              WGUGLINSKI writes: On the report Observation of abundant heat production from a reactor device and of isotopic changes in the fuel, by Giuseppe Levi , Evelyn Foschi , and Hanno Essén

              http://www.sifferkoll.se/sifferkoll/...portSubmit.pdf

              In the item 9. Summary and concluding remarks at the page 30, the authors write:

              ”In summary, the performance of the E-Cat reactor is remarkable. We have a device giving heat energy compatible with nuclear transformations, but it operates at low energy and gives neither nuclear radioactive waste nor emits radiation. From basic general knowledge in nuclear physics this should not be possible. Nevertheless we have to relate to the fact that the experimental results from our test show heat production beyond chemical burning, and that the E-Cat fuel undergoes nuclear transformations. It is certainly most unsatisfying that these results so far have no convincing theoretical explanation, but the experimental results cannot be dismissed or ignored just because of lack of theoretical understanding. ”

              -------------------------------------------

              COMMNENT:

              Dears Giuseppe Levi , Evelyn Foschi , and Hanno Essén

              According to the basic general knowledge in nuclear physics, not only the cold fusion produced by the E-Cat is impossible.

              Actually according to the basic general knowledge in nuclear physics there are several nuclear phenomena impossible to occur, but the experiments show they actually occur.

              However, along decades the nuclear theorists have used to neglect them.

              And so, the fundamental question arises:
              As from the basic general knowledge in nuclear physics is impossible to occur several nuclear phenomena observed in the nature, it makes no sense to use such general knowledge in nuclear physics so that to conclude that cold fusion is impossible to occur.

              One among the phenomena impossible to occur is the emission of the alpha particles by the uranium nucleus. The nuclear theorists use to suppose that Gamow had solved satisfactorily the puzzle, but actually his mathematical solution is unsatisfactory, as is shown in the article Cold Fusion and Gamow’s Paradox:
              http://peswiki.com/index.php/Article...ow%27s_Paradox

              As shown in the article, Gamow solved the paradox of the alpha particles emission by 92U238 by introducing another paradox.

              Besides, it was experimentally observed that alpha particles exit the nuclei 92U along a radial direction. This is impossible to occur by considering the current nuclear models, because as the nuclei have spin, and the alpha particle moves together with the 92U nucleus, then the alpha particle would have to leave away the 92U by a tangential line.

              Therefore, the emission of alpha particles by the 92U238 requires another explanation, since the solution proposed by Gamow is unacceptable.

              But it is impossible, from the current nuclear models, to find another explanation for the emission of the alpha particles by the 92U. And therefore we conclude that the emission of alpha particles by the 92U238 is also impossible to occur, according to the basic general knowledge in nuclear physics

              Then another fundamental question arises: perhaps cold fusion occurs via the inverse the phenomenon which makes possible the emission of alpha particle by the 92U238. And such assumption makes sense, because:

              1) As an alpha particle can exit a 92U nucleus by a phenomenon impossible to occur according to the basic general knowledge in nuclear physics…

              2) … then a particle can enter within a nucleus by using the same phenomenon used by the alpha particle when it leaves away the 92U.

              Such hypothesis is just proposed in the book Quantum Ring Theory, as follows:

              3) The alpha particle exits the 92U because there is a “hole” in the Coloumb electric field of the 92U.

              4) And so, under suitable conditions of low temperature, a particle can enter within a nucleus by crossing the “hole” in the electric field.

                The features of electron assisted neutron exchange processes in crystalline solids are survayed. It is stated that, contrary to expectations, the cross section of these processes may reach an observable magnitude even in the very low energy case because of the extremely huge increment caused by the Coulomb factor of the electron assisted processes and by the effect of the crystal-lattice. The features of electron assisted heavy charged particle exchange processes, electron assisted nuclear capure processes and heavy charged particle assisted nuclear processes are also overviewed. Experimental observations, which may be related to our theoretical findings, are dealt with. The anomalous screening phenomenon is related to electron assisted neutron and proton exchange processes in crystalline solids. A possible explanation of observations by Fleischmann and Pons is presented. The possibility of the phenomenon of nuclear transmutation is qualitatively explained with the aid of usual and charged particle assisted reactions. The electron assisted neutron exchange processes in pure $Ni$ and $Li-Ni$ composite systems (in the Rossi-type E-Cat) are analyzed and it is concluded that these reactions may be responsible for recent experimental observations.
