   A Synopsis of the Miley LENR Theory

   New Energy and Fuel
   • Ben says:

     Miley is an adherent of Y.E. Kim’s theory, found here. An explanation of the theory is in the article above. A more concise explanation was given on Rossi’s Facebook group by Albert Kong.

     “I noticed no surface plasmon polaritons mentioned. Apparently the theory is that protons (or deuterons) accumulate into clusters forming a pseudo Bose-Einstein condensate (apparently actually visualized using high energy laser spectroscopy). The clusters accumulate integrating the eV level potentials. A sudden breakdown of the cluster (like a bubble bursting) releases MeV level energies which together with the close proximity of nuclei results in a higher probability of fusion than thought possible.

     The ultra dense proton clusters probably absorb energetic neutrons resulting in little dangerous radiation and a heavy dose of skepticism.”
     

     Plasmon polaritons are an integral part of Widom-Larsen Theory. Dr. Kim’s theory is a competitor to WLT and proposes a mechanism for actual fusion. He spoke at NETS and is scheduled to present at the conference in Italy this week.

       Just another nocturnal thought.
       Maybe in the pressurized nickel-hydrogen systems with a little heat, an octahedral hexahydride nickel(0) complex, [NiH6]6- can be formed. This negatively charged complex might reduce the Coulomb barrier by compressing nuclei and allowing them to fuse.
       Likewise in palladium-deuterium systems an octahedral hexadeuteride palladium(0) complex, [PdD6]6- could form.

         PS
         Ni(0) (metal) + 6 H2 (gas) > [NiH6]6- + 6 H+ (protons)

         If I have this right, a set of six empty sp3d2 hybrid orbitals can be formed on the nickel by mixing 4s, 4p and 4d orbitals and then the lone pairs of electrons of the hydrides could fill them to form the octahedral complex [NiH6]6-.

           PS
           Ni(0) (metal) + 4 H2 (gas) > [NiH4]4- + 4 H+ (protons)

           Could also have a set of four empty sp3 hybrid orbitals form on the nickel and then the lone pairs of electrons of the hydrides could fill them to form the tetrahedral complex [NiH4]4-.

   if LENR is proved succesfully on multiple experiments, then definitely researchers and enterprenur having great scope of their work in my country india. Currently in india, more than 1 billion receiving either electricity for only four hours a day or less. This technology is a game changer for our country.

   Advanced thanks to the reasearchers for their hardwork, passion, dedication, compassion and their innovation. This LENR technology might save million of lives all over the world.

   Finally!!!
   Mr.Piantelli comes on the scene!
   I am 100% sure that Rossi “borrowed” from Piantelli research and patents.
   Ican’t wait to read from this meeting.

   Per Piantelli associate Roy Virgilio on his blog Energetic Ambiente (under the user name “eroyka”)

   Hello guys,
   wait a few days and I’ll tell you something more. But do not expect great statements on my part. I hope something juicy comes out at the conference.
   Not long …
   Roy

   Hello,
   yes, the conference has been going on today and I should be able to jump between tomorrow and the day after I too.
   I’ll make some pictures and we will report the news that I can steal.
   Then I also hope to publish the proceedings of the conference with the various presentations.

   So … will update soon.
   Roy

   Psi, what is bcoming more obvious is that LENR is real and we need to invest in it.

     Well said honderosa, go ahed and put down some cash. I’ll follow you right after …

   This only confirms my abiding suspicion that LENR is a scam. Isn’t it obvious by now? Come on! These people are delusional. /sarc off

     Its come to my attention that some people maybe don’t understand irony? Lol.

       Right, ‘been reading too many deniers, skeptics and ‘too good to be true’ comments since about 1989.

   Interview with Dr. George Miley from the NETS Conference now available on Cold Fusion Now
   
   • Ben says:

     Please note at the end of the article is the announcment that Dr. Miley has formed a private company, LENUCO, as a vehicle to commercialize his cell. This was the “upcoming news” mentioned in the last article that I was not at the liberty to mention. This should make it easier for Dr. Miley to accept funding from outside sources without going thru the university. This is a serious step forward I believe. I would also note that Dr. Miley still plans to submit his experiemntal results for peer review and has a theorectical understanding of the reaction.

       Thanks for keeping on top of all of this Ben. I use the e-cat.com site now to access the centralized LENR info, but always come back here from time to time to check up.
       The activity level is increasing, all these conferences and such, but we still seem to be merely chewing around the edges of this topic. Miley’s allusion to Japanese gas loading progress is telling, but where is the LENR torch burning in the dark? Where is the LENR lantern, atop the mount, a beacon declaring once and for all that LENR is absolutely and unequivocally the future solution to humanity’s energy needs? Surely one of these conference lecturers must have a device by now that could be shown as such a declaration of confirmation. We seem to be so close to the top of the hill, yet the final veil like barrier has yet to be vanquished. Talk and talk and more talk and speculation and seemingly conclusive data but inconclusive demostrations just keeps the uncertainty level way too high.
