First think, then understand, then design experiments!

It’s curious how most scientists jam their thinking into preconceived and constrained corners.

Hot Fusion has been all about using overwhelming force to make it happen, when one takes that path the results are explosions that are too hot to handle.

Cold fusion is a similar reaction that gently leads matter to the ground state but only happens when the energy that is released has some where and some way to go safely.

Atom-Ecology gammas are readily seen in our large arrays of both Geiger tubes and Gamma Spectrometers. Lucking the gamma emissions are an infinitesimal portion of the main heat reactions, as such while they are greatly above the background (blue), they remain in the safe zone. Click to read more

One of my cold fusion collaborators, now a good friend, Jurg Wyytenbach of Switzerland had contacted me more than a year ago when I published on this blog some of the data I had observed in my atom-ecology experiments. He was, at the time a cold fusion thinker, a superb and inspired mathematician.

Jurg’s thoughts had led him on a personal quest to craft the many-dimensional, beyond our common 3 dimensions, mathematics. His emerging model offered a means to understand how the energy in matter may redistribute itself via electromagnetic pathways/dimensions. He was sure of the precision of his math and was following the world of cold fusion as it might offer the means to design and perform experiments.

Jurg and I upon becoming corresponding colleagues chatted about my experiments that contain not a minimum number of constituents that are vital in creating an ecology, aka petri dish environment, where cold fusion could take place and be observed but rather a plethora of constituents. My very large ‘witches brews’ of cold fusion friendly elements and isotopes runs diametrically opposed to studies and practices in nuclear physics but is very consistent with the practices and studies of complex natural ecosystems.

It’s not making cold fusion heat that is the problem, it is spreading the intensely concentrated, atomic-scale heat, widely enough and fast enough to not vapourize the locality where it is born.

The challenge in cold fusion has always been to understand the anomalous heat it produces. In all but a tiny few cold fusion/lenr experiments has anything but heat been observed. The many other kinds of nuclear tracks, radiations, that physics teaches us must be there, even if the pathways to these radiations are suppressed to minuscule portions still ought to be there to see and clearly identify with available technology.

Some of the Atom-Ecology cold fusion ‘Petri Dish’ experiments. These tube furnaces are designed to study the very large ‘excess heat’ produced, often hundreds of watts steady-state and intermittent lasting for weeks to months.

Indeed this has been the case in my work and my telltale gamma radiation signature, though infinitesimally small, has been the hallmark of my work. It has been those lovely gammas that brought Jurg and I together. Jurg has traveled many times from Switzerland to my East London lab bench, graciously provided by another dear friend Alan Smith. At the bench, we have worked, talked about, even bickered about ideas, and made what we know to be incredible observations that are redefining our understanding of the universe.

Jurg has taken mountains of data back home to Switzerland, from the many gamma measuring instruments, especially the several gamma spectrometers that are used to watch the mysterious heat-producing test tubes, and crunched that data through his incredible mathematics. In scores of clear identifications of specific gammas we have clearly defined many of the active players in the atom-ecology of cold fusion. I am certain that the spirit of Einstein who began his mathematics in Switzerland is smiling upon Jurg approvingly and likely lending a helping cosmic hand from time to time.

Authentic Cold Fusion/LENR is in a few hands. but not many

Atom-Ecology is not the only one able to reliably produce megajoules of cold fusion on-demand in complex atom ecologies. The means to make and manage the enormous energy released in fusion along with seeing distinct radiations is seen in a few other labs. In Scandinavia the work of Holmlid et al on what he calls ‘ultra-dense hydrogen’ also provides evidence of cold fusion. Holmlid’s work might seem to many as very different than that of Atom-Ecology but I see the similarities not the cosmetic differences. It’s what we can see and understand, the radiations that are most valuable to science. The heat, well that’s what the rest of the world needs and can make the best use of, but it is damned mysterious without the radiations.

Take for example Holmlid’s experiments which usually are triggered by an intense LASER beam fired into the complex catalyst-like complex of materials that cause hydrogen to form into its ‘ultra-dense’ state. While the LASER light is generally what Holmlid’s now a well-financed and growing team of many scientists is the usual experiment, he finds sometimes the same radiation signature he looks for, a Kaon, Pion, Muon cascade, occurs merely by the laboratory ceiling lights.

In conversation recently Jurg revealed some of his impatience with the faithful followers of standard physics. His retort was short and sweet and to the point.

It’s as I said: Only rotten minds that use a rotten standard model can believe that fusion is energy dependent.  It’s the contrary: LENR only works if you know how to remove the excess energy. The balancing magnetic force to start this reaction is only given with hydrogen (UDH) at rest.

But Jurg went on in that exchange to soften his statement by saying.

it is to early to give any definitive judgement. We just started to understand the new model and I’m pretty sure in 50 years people will make jokes about what we say today.

This is why I love the guy, soon I hope he and I will be back at the laboratory bench together as newly imagined and designed experiments offer a chance to make the next quantum leap in delivering safe clean infinite cold fusion heat to the world in the deliverable form of simple functional technology that makes “energy too cheap to meter.”  The Atom-ecology heat-producing gadgets will be no more complex or expensive than a common light bulb or a stick of firewood and be backed by exquisite mathematics and state of the art nuclear instrumentation data.
