Jaitner: Condensed Plasmoids – The Nuclear Active Environment in LENR
Oral & Poster
Lutz Jaitner, lutz.jaitner t-online de, www.condensed-plasmoids.com
LENR research was puzzled for a long time by the basic questions: How can nuclei fuse at low temperature? Why is the observed excess heat not accompanied with gamma radiation? Why is LENR producing helium-4 from deuterium, whereas D-D hot fusion is mainly producing helium-3, tritium and neutrons? How can LENR be technically optimized for commercial use?
To answer these questions, the author has built a quantum-mechanical model of the nuclear active environment in LENR. This environment is an ultra-dense plasmoid, i.e. a “condensed plasmoid”. The computed properties of CPs are so exotic, that CPs qualify as a previously unknown aggregation state of matter.
This document is first in describing the properties of CPs, the microscopic evidence of CPs in LENR experiments, how the properties of CPs help explaining a wealth of remarkable findings in LENR experiments, examples of nuclear reaction routes possibly enabled by CPs, the quantum-mechanical model of CPs, the computational results derived from this model, and an assessment on potential dangers of LENR. The mechanism, which suppresses gamma radiation in CPs, will also be described in this document.
The quantum-mechanical model of CPs is based on the cylindrical symmetry of a very thin (i.e. about 40 pm) plasma “wire” (The quantitative properties given in the abstract are depending on the configuration of the CP, they are just examples).
The electrons of a CP are fully delocalized and decoupled from the nuclei. They are moving with high velocity (10 to 80% of light speed) against the nuclei. This is resulting in an intrinsic current of about 9 kA in the CPs, with a mean current density of approximately 2.5 A per square picometer.
The magnetic field from this current reaches 50 megatesla and creates a confinement pressure of more than 10^21 Pa. The electrons are compressed by a z-pinch condition to a mean density of about 0.15 electrons per cubic picometer.
The creation of a CP is an endothermic process, which typically requires high voltages and high currents. Once created, CPs enjoy a lifetime, which can extend to hours. This longevity is likely not a result of the CP’s stability, but is rather based on a self-sustained feedback of nuclear energy, countering the otherwise inevitable decay of the CP.
The minimum distance of hydrogen nuclei in a CP is only about 2 pm, which enables tunneling through the Coulomb barrier. The barrier is also much screened by the dense electrons.
The self-sustained growth of CPs can produce a dangerous and sudden release of nuclear energy, if the reaction rate is not properly fuel-limited.

Many videos. The upper limit is I think iron on electric induced fusion. To fuse heavier elements you need high energy.
As an energy source, probably not necessary as long as cheap electricity storage is available and it looks like that is closer to reality and acceptability.

Please refrain from posting anything that doesn’t legitimately address the issue.
Something is going on in this segment of science. There are a considerable number of research groups studying the matter. -Sidebar Moderator
That would make a great name for a garage band.

I’ve been away from freerepublic for awhile. Interesting to see the research is ongoing, is there a site that condenses the last few years of progress?
LENR is Occuring in SAFIRE (Axil Axil)

Thanks to Axil for posting the following in this thread earlier today. The SAFIRE project (Stellar Atmospheric Function In Regulation Experiment) is exploring the “electric sun” hypothesis.
The SAFIRE project got kicked in the teeth with LENR. These professional scientists really don’t know what is going on. Just like in the SunCell, tungsten vaporizes in nanoseconds. Like the Hutchison effect, tungsten turns into powder. This video is long but if you are interested in LENR, it is worth the time.
The LENR stuff starts at 33:00, but if you don’t know what SAFIRE is, watch it from the beginning. If you are interested in the weird stuff that MFMP is finding, you will find more of it in this video. At 1:03:18, there is a large power discharge that the presenter did not want to talk about, but in past presentations, the output form these energy bursts was up to 20,000,000 watts and He3 was found, I have a felling that the SAFIRE project is in the process of patenting this new fusion effect. The researchers may be going dark on this process. SAFIRE has opened the door to a new way to do plasma fusion without radiation and neutrons.

Because the plasmoid rings are self-sustaining, they can actually move through other materials once started until they hit mainly iron, at which point the fusion reaction will consume more energy than it releases.
My notes: If you could induce enough of these in a LENR material simultaneously, you would get a very big explosion. If the explosion produced enough plasmoids, the explosion might continue to propagate through the surrounding materials. Hmmmm.
“Mini-tokamak” is a bit of a misnomer, since it’s not compression by high kinetic energy causing the fusion, but removal of the Coulomb barrier due to quantum effects in the plasmoid which allows the nuclei to hit each other.
There have been several thermal runaway incidents in LENR. The most famous was early in the days of Pons-Fleishmann.
removal of the Coulomb barrier due to quantum effects in the plasmoid which allows the nuclei to hit each other.
***Ah hah. I knew there was sumthin about that theory rattling around. Look at Bose-Einstein Condensates — they are known to reduce the Coulomb barrier by orders of magnitude.

The trick is to treat the math on a one-to-one basis, such as in a Luttinger Liquid and set up a linear Bose-Einstein Condensate.
Hence my Vibrating 1Dimensional Luttinger Liquid Bose-Einstein Condensate [V1DLLBEC] theory.
I would think if someone can engineer a material that promotes sustained plasmoid reaction while controlling how they wander around and that won't melt or disintegrate, you could get a a rod that heats up to say 2,000F and stays that way for months or years.
Perhaps with the application of the right current or magnetic field you could shut it off.
But it might be as difficult to engineer such a material as it is to get containment fusion.
But if you could get pellets to burn in succession, you'd still have a great power source.
When I was listening to the lecture I was thinking that the loose bonding of electrons in the doped palladium that allows formation of the plasmoid rings might allow formation of superconducting paths through the material. If enough could join together through the whole length when current is applied you’d have a true high temperature superconductor.
BTW, I would think you could have a very interesting discussion with Jaitner.
You’re following the progression of the path that gunpowder did. In the beginning it would be just an uncontained blast (Atom Bomb) and then they learned to contain the blast except to expel in only one direction as a blunderbuss (the next level in nuclear propulsion in space ) and then they learned to explode a piston in one direction, have it turn around, and harness it in an internal combustion engine (LENR Piston theories https://www.lenr-forum.com/search-result/63985/?highlight=piston ).
In the case of LENR there will be a point source of heat that can be harnessed with Stirling Cycle engines https://coldfusion3.com/blog/major-lenr-demonstrations-held Eventually leading to direct conversion of electricity in a solid state device. https://www.bing.com/search?q=electricity&q1=site%3Ae-catworld.com
We've had centuries of progress on the mechanical level that is reaching a limit. But since the invention of fission and the transistor, we're slowly moving down to being able to engineer on the atomic level.
The US could be driving all of this as we once did, but ever since the end of the Cold War our corrupt political elites have sought to cash in and buy votes rather than fund basic research. The only bright side is that the costs of much high tech are now low enough that private individuals and investors can push some research forward.
Mini-Tokomak reminds me of this exchange I had on LENR-Forum
what if we would exclude the 3D concept from 1D fusion completely and leave atom nuclei colliding along long rigid chains like sorta miniature pistons? And this is IMO just what the cold fusion is actually all about: the miniaturized one-dimensional piston fusion, arranged with single rows of atoms! I collected multiple indicia for this mechanism already, but IMO the most prominent one is the Unified Gravity approach to cold fusion, which consists of shooting protons into surface of molten lithium (BTW note how thorough and specific this particular patent application actually is!). During this the fusion readily runs in high yield under formation of alpha particles according two main reactions:
p+6Li —> 3He (2.3 MeV) + 4He (1.7 MeV) and p+7Li —> 4 He (8.6 MeV) + 4He (8.6 MeV)
This type of fusion resembles many unsuccessful attempts for hot fusion in colliders, but the spectacular point here is, only very low energy of protons is actually required here for to have fusion running - just about one thousand of Volts or even less - so that we can really talk about “cold” fusion here, despite it’s still classical “accelerator” based approach like the fusor.
