Yay cold virtual photons.
Beats the hell out if those hot photons in August.
To: humblegunner
What’s a “virtual” photon? Is it a photon or not? It sounds like it’s a computer model not a reality.

In physics, “virtual” means something more akin to “transient”. Virtual particles come and go, unlike “real” particles, which tend to persist.

Very nice, but when is it going to light a light bulb or, better yet, power my flying car?

LOL Did you get that call from Washington, yet?

Have you heard of Bresani? I haven't. I wonder if his theory is as compelling as this guy says...
13 The main secret of the cold fusion process how to overcome the Coulomb barrier turned out to be surprisingly simple .
It was first noted by Professor Bressani at the 1998 conference , ICCF 7, on the basis of a series of Japanese accelerator experiments that have been carried out since 1996 .
Prof. Bressani quite clearly laid out the path to an explanation of the process of cold fusion. Unfortunately, the cold fusion community has not followed Bressani call.
Today, 16 years later , we know that the deuterium atoms implanted into metals are not more at the ground state. A cloud of free electrons in the metal causes the electron of an implanted atom to be excited and to take a p - state .
This allows two deuterium nuclei located in one of the potential crystal cell niche to be at a very close distance from each other.
RASA , 8 - 10 November 2013 , Clearwater Beach , FL
14 Accelerator experiments showed that the magnitude of screening potential of impurity atoms in metallic crystals could reach 300 eV or even more . This means that for the DD reaction occurring in a medium of metallic crystal , impurity deuterium atoms are excited, and their electron orbits are elliptical and oriented relative to each other by a certain order in space .
In this case, the nuclei of these atoms can converge at a distance substantially less than the conventional size of the atom R a , without the Coulomb repulsion. Similar processes are known in the science and are the cause of chemical catalysis . Johannes Rydberg first quantitatively described these processes in 1888 .

Yes. They asked for your name & number.

All I can say is that I am skeptical because I desperately want this to work...

"Have you heard of Bresani? I haven't. I wonder if his theory is as compelling as this guy says..." Nope. But I think the first thing to do is find the proceedings/papers from ICCF7 and see what's there, and whatever else Google has to offer.
Right now, I'm still wading through the RASA slides .
But it would be absolutely typical if someone had laid out the basis and had his work ignored, and credit given to a later researcher.
The truly incredible datum from the RASA presentation for me thus far is the comment about "..reduction of the effect of the coulombic barrier by fifty to sixty ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE".

***That reminds me of KP Sinha’s claim to a similar reduction of the Pauli Principle (If I Recall Correctly) by 100 orders of magnitude within condensed matter cells.

Of course, the anti-LENR crowd regularly waves off 14THOUSAND orders of magnitude without even blushing.
But perhaps this is a good way to get a first-pass assessment of various scientific strategies to theorizing LENR: how many orders of magnitude are being shaved? At this point, Bressani beats KP Sinha by 40 orders of magnitude.

How many more do they need before they can heat a teakettle in 10 minutes?
To: tacticalogic
Actually, the “gentleman” who asked that LENR warm up his teakettle was invited to Hagelstein’s recent demonstration (which lasted 6 months). He declined. He was also handed a paper on LENR results and he refused to even hold it in his hand. Real great scientist, huh? How long until we can get our hot-fusion powered water heater — another 50 years, as per usual?

That’s about as disingenuous as you can get. Hagelstein got plenty of tea. If someone issues a challenge and then refuses to accept the proof that the challenge is flatly proven wrong, then backtracking like you just did is tantamount to lying.
