I don’t understand how one can claim that cold fusion cells attained H(0) ‘status’ if metallic hydrogen requires high pressures and high temperatures.
Notice that Holmlid claims nuclear reactions are “spontaneous” in the H(0) state.
To me, that sounds much more like the formation of a Bose-Einstein condensate where the Coulomb barrier collapses.
re: “I don’t understand how one can claim that cold fusion cells attained H(0) ‘status’ if metallic hydrogen requires high pressures and high temperatures.”
I’m still researching this. I’m not ready to condense what I’m thinking, since things are still in a state of flux research-wise. It’s taking a little while to peel back the onion and keep track of spurious claims versus definitive lab work (theory is always suspect in my book.)
Side note: I took a full year before I spoke up about Dr. Mills and the SunCell. Prior to that I had spent some time looking at Rossi (who does not have near the paper trail of lab work that Mills has).
Prior to that I was aware of MIT’s IAP sessions conducted by Prof Hagelstein and Swartz. Those are interesting lectures and presentations. Unfortunately, they do not subscribe to GUTCP, but are still using QM as a model basis.
Before that I was aware of the Griggs “rotary boiler” and its measured (but unexplained) ‘gain’ some decade, maybe two decades back ... and we’ve all heard of P&F before that, but usually NOT the successful replications.
