The Rutherford-Harkins-Landau-Chadwick Key. V. Transmutations and Isotopic Shifts in the Fleischmann-Pons Experiment

2025-02-14T12:34:48+01:00

The Fleischmann-Pons experiment, despite its controversial reception, remains a pivotal point of inquiry in the field of low-energy nuclear reactions (LENR). Inspired by Julian Schwinger´s assertion that “the circumstances of cold fusion are not those of hot fusion” and Edward Teller´s acknowledgement of cold fusion as “a very unclear and low probability road into a thoroughly new area,” this paper presents a novel model that seeks to reinterpret the complex dynamics underlying the Fleischmann-Pons observations. This study explores Edward Teller´s electron catalysis in order to penetrate through the Coulomb barrier as the neutral projectiles: dineutron and tetraneutron. The model also addresses the observed variability in excess heat production and isotopic shifts in palladium. This paper aims to open a new interpretative pathway for understanding the Fleischmann-Pons experiment. The findings not only contribute to the ongoing discourse in LENR but also suggest potential experimental setups for validating the model, ultimately advancing the quest for sustainable, clean energy solutions.

The Rutherford-Harkins-Landau-Chadwick Key IV. Novel Reaction Channels for the d-d Fusion in the Pd/D System

2025-02-03T08:42:22+01:00

The Fleischmann-Pons experiment, despite its controversial history and challenges to reproducibility, remains a pivotal moment in the exploration of new branches for the d-d fusion where two deuterons form new nuclei at low temperatures. This paper revisits the foundational objections to these reactions at low temperature, as articulated by John Huizenga, namely the Coulomb barrier, abnormal branching ratios, and the absence of expected radiation. Drawing inspiration from historical literature (Rutherford-Harkins-Landau-Chadwick Key, Sakharov´s muon catalysis, Teller´s electron catalysis) and recent advances in nuclear physics (dineutron, trineutron and tetraneutron properties), this work proposes new channels that addresses these objections while adhering to rigorous scientific standards. This hypothesis builds upon the interplay between deuterons and electrons, suggesting an elegant mechanism that could bridge the gap between the current theory and experimental anomalies. Nature prepared for us a safe route for the extraction of nuclear energy while suppressed the dangerous channels with neutrons, tritium, and gamma rays. This approach aims to revitalize the discourse on the d-d fusion at low temperatures, honoring the perseverance of researchers in the field and inviting further investigation into one of the most tantalizing frontiers in energy science.

Ionization Energies from Classical Force Balance: Calcium-like Uranium and Below

2024-12-22T03:29:36+01:00

We examine a proposed modification (Mod 1 for short) to the Grand Unified Theory of Classical Physics (GUTCP) in which instead of orbitals holding two indistinguishable electrons, each electron has a distinct radius. The technique of creating a force balance equation for each electron in turn, from the inner to the outermost, is extended from Helium (and 2-electron ions such as Li+) and Lithium (and 3-electron ions such as Be+) up to Calcium and Ca-like ions. We release a public domain program to solve the force balance equations which are populated with force terms from GUTCP. We also compare our computations to NIST data in a provided spreadsheet.

A Newly-Derived Cosmological Redshift Formula Which Solves the Hubble Tension and Yet Maintains Consistency with Tt = T0(1 + z),theRh = ct Principle and the Stefan-Boltzmann Law

2024-12-13T20:56:42+01:00

Numerous cosmological redshift formulae have been suggested in the field of cosmology. One of these is the well-known cosmological redshift formula used in the Λ-CDM model and in some R_h = ct models. In a recent type of “black hole” cosmology model, the redshift formula is derived from three fundamental principles: that the Stefan-Boltzmann law holds with respect to perfect and almost perfect black bodies; that the universe follows the R_h = ct principle; and that the time-dependent CMB temperature in relation to cosmological redshift is given by the observed relation T_t = T_0(1 + z). These three principles have recently been used by Haug and Tatum [1] to derive z = Sqrt(R_h/R_t) − 1, which has led to a simple but powerful solution to the Hubble tension [2–4]. This note highlights the importance of these three principles in relation to the new cosmological redshift formula and describes new ways to represent the same cosmological redshift formula.

Time Tacking: Practical Approach to Interstellar Travel

2024-12-01T21:09:17+01:00

This article introduces a groundbreaking approach to interstellar travel by drawing an analogy between a nautical manoeuvre called tacking and a proposed technique for traversing vast interstellar distances, that we termed “time tacking.” In sailing, tacking allows a vessel to move against the wind through a series of zig-zag movements. Similarly, in space travel, a comparable manoeuvre will enable spacecraft to navigate the challenges of relativistic time dilation by entering a “mirror universe” and potentially facilitating transitions into other dimensions. This theoretical framework also provides new insights into black holes, energy transfer, and the preservation of thermodynamic principles across the universe.

The concept of "time tacking" offers a practical method for interstellar navigation, suggesting that alternating between sub-luminous (below light speed) and super-luminous (beyond light speed) velocities near the speed of light can enable precise manipulation of space-time. This manoeuvre allows for controlled departure and arrival times, paving the way for real-time interstellar journeys rather than centuries-long voyages requiring cryogenic preservation. By leveraging time dilation and future quantum propulsion systems, time tacking presents a revolutionary approach to achieving humanity’s ancient dream of reaching the stars. This method renders all previously proposed ideas on the subject obsolete. We are presenting a simple and practical approach to interstellar travel, bringing us closer to the realistic prospect of regular interstellar flights and mass space migration. This paves the way for the creation of new, independent planet-states beyond our solar system.

The integration of Quantum Propulsion Systems with the Time Tacking Technique represents a paradigm shift in deep space transportation. However, the potential impact of quantum propulsion technology extends far beyond aerospace, with the potential to revolutionize global connectivity, redefine air travel, transform aerospace warfare, and radically reshape the political landscape of our world.

This technology offers a profound opportunity for those disillusioned with life on Earth. It provides the chance to leave this planet behind and create new worlds shaped entirely by their unique visions and deepest aspirations.
