Regarding the reasons for the short pulses, i already posted something to Rossi and have received positive response from Him (check some answer to a guy named Marco on his blog: it's me).
Hydrogen atoms in a magnetic field and sollicited with an RF pulse, exibit a phenomenon called magnetic resonance: it's a known and reliable way to provide energy to an atom. I suggested to fix the magnetic field and provide an RF pulse of a given frequency to see if this increased the reaction rate. Apparently the answer is that yes, it does.
The gyromagnetic ratio of hydrogen is 42.58MHz in water. I don't know what is the value in the context of the charge, but you can start with this value, once fixed the magnetic field with a magnet or electromagnet. The reason is that the resonance effect is not so abrupt at the frequency change. If you can find papers that tabulate the gyromagnetic ratio of hydrogen in other materials, you can start from here to see if in hydrure the ratio changes much.

Very reliable hypothesis. Resonance is used in Magnetic Resonance Imaging. This mechanism is exploited in a method invented by a medical doctor, Randell Mills, in his invention of Magnetic Resonance Susceptibility. This invention goes a long way to improve the MRI machine in getting more details in the end product, the image produced by MRI machines, and used by doctors to see the fine detail structures being imaged. The same kind of resonance, is used by Mills in his theory, GUT-CP, to replace all of those waves that are assumed by QWM to exist, in the particle wave duality of particle physics, to be an unnecessary assumption, to be replaced by, not another assumption but a prediction coming out of GUT-CP. This point alone is enough to be the reason for the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle being able to be refuted, as easily as it has been refuted..

Why do you think that providing a RF pulse increases the reaction rate in Rossi's SK reactor?

Because an RF pulse tuned on the Larmour frequency of the hydrogen (given by magnetic field multiplied for gyromagnetic ratio, see any textbook of magnetic resonance for details) gives to the atoms energy. More energy, more probability of the atoms to fuse with lithium, nichel or whatever exact fusion reaction is taking place. You heat the charge to start the reaction. With RF pulses tuned on the Hydrogen atoms, you "heat" only them. It's more efficient, i think.

I suspect that the situation is more complex; consider that there are several resonance frequencies being applied and that there is a meta level at which global entrainment is variably achieved culminating in an Edisonain moment in which the reactor is up and running in seconds because the separate resonances have coalesced at the meta level to a high expression of global entrainment.

The speed at which the reaction is now initiated as, opposed to the early iterations, and the input power required to run 50 SKs (<1,800W) implies an exquisitely tuned delivery of input energies unleashing as much as 800 times the input power.

The reaction results in isotopic shifts that theoretically provide the right order of magnitude of energy release so Occam's Razor suggests that we not reach for unnecessarily messy explanations when it appears that there's a nuts and bolts mechanism to invoke.

And yet. And yet there is already a broader consideration in play in that the reaction reveals here fore to and unsuspected aspects of our underlying reality, and that that is one of a host of signposts that mark the death of materialistic explanations of the cosmos while the intimations of a more complex underlying continuum rooted in consciousness are littered across the data from countless quantum physics experiments and inventive probings into the unknown but not unknowable.

DARPA gave Russell Targ and Hal Puthoff a $12,000,000USD contract to attempt to validate various PSI modalities in the 1960s when the Defense Department received reliable reports that the Soviets were pouring substantial resources into this area, and that they'd had some positive results.

They set up at SRI and set about recapitulating Rhine's work from the 1950s in sufficient detail to confirm Rhine's results and conclusions which were, in capsule form, that various experiments demonstrated conclusively that some people some of the time demonstrated results significantly at odds with statistically random results. Some, among the students they recruited, had 'talent' that flashed intermittently, none achieved consistent results as an act of will.

One day a man named Ingo Swann presented himself saying he was very interested in subjecting his talent to rigorous scientific inquiry and that he had ideas regarding experiments and protocols. Russell and Hal were initially skeptical and then bowled over when Ingo went through a deck of Rhine cards and got every one correct, a whopping statistical anomaly.

One experiment should elucidate the reason I raise this in what may strike some as an unlikely setting; in the center of a bare lab table rests a 1/2" steel ball bearing, Ingo is seated in a chair across the lab some 30 ft. away, the ball bearing is being observed by five 1,200fps cameras, one at each cardinal point and the fifth directly over head. The cameras roll, Ingo concentrates, all five cameras record the ball bearing receding into the distance from each axis, and the ball bearing is gone.

Puthoff and Targ were hired because the were open minded and rigorous experimentalists with excellent credentials, this, and a long list of other 'impossibilities', happened under laboratory conditions with full data documentation gathered over repeated trials of this and various other PSI phenomena.

There is no explanation, just the data that the events occurred, as the available instrumentation failed to detect any abnormal readings during the experiments, just as entanglement experiments have run endless trials without ever detecting the mechanism by which energy and information is 'transmitted' instantaneously between entangled 'particles'.

David Bohm suggested that there is an implicate order that underlies the explicate order we inhabit; Ingo Swann describes this implicate order as consciousness that is foundational to and inherent in every aspect of the explicate order.

Bohm suggests that space/time binds staggering energies which we see referenced as the vacuum, I would suggest that the term vacuum is vastly misleading in its suggestion of emptiness.

One of many Russian attempts to mislead. Also why is your icon not opening up to ID as are other commenters icons. Afraid of being id'ed?
All such experiments were fully vetted by either NASA or Princeton U. No records of anything like you say, remains. Yet only you seem to know the details.

We saw that the vortex flux tube produced a triangular hole in the copper oxide substrate, What cases this hole to form is a particlular way.

For example, octonion-math multiplication produces vortex flow patterns that are triangular in shape as follows:

https://www.researchgate.ne...

and

https://www.researchgate.ne...

The vortex flux tube that forms must be a unique type of tube. To produce transmutation, the vortex flux tube generated by the Black EVO must match the quark flux tube like a key in a lock.

https://hiup.org/micro-blac...

https://15qrvx2p7q0ipwico11...

Based on John Archibald Wheeler's ideas that participles are black holes with wormholes. Not all particles might be black holes but some quasiparticles surly are since we have seen them in experiments, and these quasiparticles can interact with the quarks inside particles through vortex flux tube reconnection producing transmutation.

The "Geon" idea (https://jayryablon.files.wo...
Black Holes as Elementary Particles) is old but from what we have seen in our experiments, it is most likely true

Christoph F. E. Holzhey

octonion-math is Vortex based math.

I beleive that this math explains how the properties of quarks come from the operaations of octonion-math, This following article shows how quarks are connected by a vortex like flux tube.

https://academicworks.cuny....

There is good phenomenological evidence that in a rotationally excited baryon a quark-diquark (q - D) structure is favored over a three-quark (qqq) structure[8];[9];[10]. Eguchi[11] had shown that it is energetically favorable for the three quarks in a baryon to form a linear structure with a quark on one end and bilocal structure qq at the other end. Similarly, Bars and Hanson[12], and independently Johnson and Thorn[13] had shown that the string-like hadrons may be pictured as vortices of color flux lines which terminate on concentration of color at the end points. A baryon with three valence quarks would be arranged as a linear chain of molecule where the largest angular momentum for a state of a given mass is expected when two quarks are at one end, and the third is at the other: At large spin, two of the quarks form a diquark at one end of the string, the remaining quark being at the other. Regge trajectories for mesons and baryons are closely parallel; both have a slope of about 0:9(GeV )^-2. If the quarks are light, the underlying quark-diquark symmetry leads to a Miyazawa symmetry between mesons and baryons. Thus we studied QCD with a weakly broken supergroup SU(6=21). Note that the fundamental theory is not supersymmetric. For quarks, the generators of the Poincar´e group and those of the color group SU(3)c commute. It is only the effective Hamiltonian which exhibits an approximate supersymmetry among the bound states q anti-q and qD.

Here is another reference to vortex flux tubes in particles. This looks exactly like what we saw in the LION experiments.

http://www.ptep-online.com/...

The geometrodynamics of the famous scientist John Archibald
Wheeler, who passed away in 2008, does not seem to
find favor among modern physicists.
According to J.Wheeler’s geometrodynamic concept
charged microparticles are considered therein as singular
points located in a non-unitary coherent two-dimensional surface
and connected to each other through “wormholes”, current
tubes, or current force lines of the input-output (sourcedrain)
kind in an additional dimension, thus forming a closed
contour. However, “wormholes” in space, if they are not considered
as purely mathematical constructions, in its physical
embodiment can only be vortex formations of some kind substance
that has the properties of an ideal fluid.

Excellent & thanks! As far as getting old goes, join the club. :)

For those wishing to deepen I did an analysis of the E-Cat Qx
I tried to give an explanation according to the principles of alchemy (I remember that Newton was an alchemist and was certainly not very intelligent)
https://gradientitemporali....

Instead, here I analyze an apparatus similar to the Qx relating to a 1953 patent (Written in Italian)
https://gradientitemporali....

So, what you are saying is that AR uses willpower to transmute the QX/SK electrodes. He will need a lot for 40 MW, I would think! There may be heat COP>1 generated, but it’s really about transmutation, isn’t it? Then probably his electrodes are transmuted from nickel to gold or platinum, I would think. This is how he pays for the energy he must put in to serve his client. Clever! ;)

A few years ago back in the spring of 2015, in response to one of my posts when Rossi was enamored by the theories of Norman D. Cook, he said that his reaction had nothing to do with quantum mechanics.

Yes I read. I wondered if he is uncertain about the Ecat, the COP or that LENR can have something to do with Heisenbergs uncertainty principle ;).
It may indeed be a change of mind I would agree with you, Axil, although I am not sure that Andrea ever fully dismissed the Quantum Mechanics.

That said, it is absolutely ridiculous, in the normal reality the mental component is negligible, but do not underestimate the alchemical vision. Usually you avoid talking about it, just because then appear reasoning or jokes and you are all laughing. Minds like Newton the year appreciated. Only after he died, opening Newton's legacies, he discovered that he was a great alchemist, he, like all those who enter it, consider it a superior science, but to enter it he needs humility and evolution. We have a sentence that says: ONLY when the student is ready, the Master's steps are heard.

Princeton University and NASA have long gone in researching this kind of thing over long periods. If these two have not found any evidence, WHATSOEVER, in these kinds of claims, then I for one can rest assured, there is nothing to them.

But, new claims, such as water memory, polywater, keep cropping up. Says a lot about the power of hope, belief to keep some looking, but as far as anything practical, never, not once.

"Princeton University and NASA ..., there is nothing to them."
There are knowledge that can not be found by looking for them, but you have to prepare yourself to receive them, it is they who come to you. In Physics a "strange" thing can not be disclosed if it can not be demonstrated, in Alchemy it is revealed in some cases hoping that the receiver will open so much that he can then receive the proof.

If they have not found anything, it's because they're looking wrong, when I'm in Physics I think as a Physicist, I move within the agreement that confirms this reality. When you change the scope of research you need to have humility, you need to present yourself at the source with an empty glass, as students who have to learn from the beginning. At the age of 27 I have had the good fortune to meet my Master of Alchemy, obviously I have demanded the proofs of the basic affirmation of alchemy "the universe is mental" ... the universe is a kind of shared dream and held steady by sharing ... the universe is similar to the Matrix, however incredible it appears to the official physical science to which they are nevertheless affectionate. Obviously I demanded a verification, it was given to me by my Master, I speak here. But since I can not prove it to others, I perfectly understand the one who does not believe me. It is enough for me to be in the same double vision of Newton and many others.
I tell something here but it is in Italian. https://didatticacomputer.i...

2. How do you think that oil- and coalcompanies will react after the 31:th of January?
3. Are the E-cat still assembled by manual labour?
4. Is there any factory for assembling in Sweden?
All my friends are skeptic when I talk about E-cat.
Good luck the 31:th of January. I am really looking forward to the live showing.

Q How do you think that oil- and coalcompanies will react after the 31:th of January?

A I think they will ignore us

Some wisdom displayed by Mr Rossi here I think. I don`t see how, exactly, the January 31 demonstration could change anything. I gather that the event consists of a remote video of some device just sitting there doing something or other that no one can check. The site and the customer won`t be revealed and it is questionable whether there will be any sort of live gathering of interested parties. So is this just meant to be an internet-based question-and-answer session then? For skeptics this certainly won`t clarify much and even for potential customers I don`t see it helping. If you controlled a big oil company would you be quaking in your boots after an event like that? I doubt it.

Maybe Rossi will clarify for potential customers how they are supposed to place orders for his services. After all, right now his website doesn`t contain anything specific about ECat SK or ECat QX. The material on the website right now is about the same as was there 18 months ago.

"Scientists Create New Method of Fusion" 18 Dec 2018 https://techexplorist.com/s...

A sucessful commercial reactor using laser fusion needs to produce a COP that is high based on how efficient the lasers are in producing power. Boron fusion takes a 1000 times more energy than hydrogen to trigger fusion and the power density will be 2500 times lower than for D-T. In other words, it takes a lot of input power to produce a small amount of output power. And the LASER duty cycle must be high, that is, the percentage of time that the lasers are delivering power onto the boron must be close to constant.

Harmonics... Might laser bursts of, chosen, specific atomic/element frequencies create focused/intensified energetics within the nano superfluid environment... A 'standing wave' so to speak?

Extracting energy from the vacuum is a nano phenomena... Perhaps... No?

Just guessing...

What SAFIRE is finding is that plasma when stabilized in the proper state will produce fusion that delivers millions of watts of output power with just a 1000 watts of input DC current.

Plasma dynamics...
Nano photonics/physics...
What is gleaned from these?

If you haven't spotted it yet, I have come up with an opinion that assumes that the formation of an EMF based "Event Horizon" (EH) is the mechanism that extracts energy from the vacuum. There are many ways in which this EH can form. Both Plasma dynamics and Nano photonics/physics can produce this EH mechanism.

A recent post explains how I beleive SAFIRE is producing energy based on Plasma dynamics as follows:

I suggest that a fundamental postulate of LENR might be that any structure or process that produces hawking radiation will extract energy from the vacuum as a primary source of energy production. This structure or process contains an event horizon where photons from the vacuum are confined and separated between positive and negative energies.

An example of such a black hole like analog structure or process that can result in the LENR reaction in a plasma is a "Plasma mirror". Such a plasma mirror acts like a black EVO in a plasma.

There could be many and varied LENR active structures or processes in which an analog black hole can form.

Plasma based systems like SAFIRE, the QX and SK reactors, and the SunCell could be forming multiple plasma mirrors within their plasma in which energy from the vacuum could be extracted. The posit here is that LENR is a process that produces most of its energy output from extracting heat photons from the vacuum. The plasma must fall into a state in which an analog event horizon forms.

Such plasma based systems unlike the black EVO could be free from strange radiation since the plasma mirror is not self sustaining. Any energy extracted from the vacuum is not nuclear or sub nuclear and as such is free from dangerous nuclear based radiation.

For example in SAFIRE, we know from experimental measurement that UV photons are being held in the plasma so that their speed of propagation is slowed by a factor that is 60,000 times less than the speed of light. This could be a consequence of a process whereby the boundaries between the double layers are forming multiple plasma mirrors in which UV photons are being extracted from the vacuum via Hawking radiation.

Analogue black hole could be made from plasma mirror

https://physicsworld.com/a/...

https://physicsworld.com/wp...

Here are similar thoughts, you perhaps have seen these already:
"In 2008 a study investigating "a scenario for strong gravity in particle physics" found that Unruh-Hawking evaporating black holes will undergo a type of phase transition resulting in variously long-lived quantized objects of reasonable sizes, including those of particles within the quantum domain. Again, this led to speculation that perhaps everything is made of micro black holes.

in 2012, Nassim Haramein discovered (continuing from earlier work) that the confinement force of a hadron and nucleus can be exactly described from the gravitational force of a Schwarzschild proton (a black hole with the same diameter of a proton), with no need for the post hoc addition of a contrived strong force.

Even though such calculations demonstrate that micro black holes recapitulate the characteristics observed of elementary particles, and can actually described the generation of intrinsic characteristics like mass, charge, and spin from first principles -- the idea of micro black holes receives strong criticism.

In a 1992 paper, Christoph Holzhey and Frank Wilczek investigated how certain black holes can reasonably be interpreted as behaving like normal elementary particles:"

https://resonance.is/black-...

I have just posted about this above. Check it out...

Axil: In this post you state:
"A recent post explains how I beleive SAFIRE is producing energy based on Plasma dynamics as follows:
I suggest that a fundamental postulate of LENR might be that any structure or process that produces hawking radiation will extract energy from the vacuum as a primary source of energy production."

In a post two hours before that you state:
"What SAFIRE is finding is that plasma when stabilized in the proper state will produce fusion that delivers millions of watts of output power with just a 1000 watts of input DC current."

Are you indicating "energy from the vacuum" and "fusion" are the same thing?

They are separate, but they may be happening at the same time were their energy sources and/or sinks are mixed together coordinated by a common energy storage process. Energy can come from and/or go toward three processes: vacuum energy production, and/or "particle decay and/or particle creation", and/or "fusion and/or fission".

Thank you,
I'm learning so much...
From many of my quests.
Especially posts such as yours.

Now all they need do is manage to create a laser that is 50,000 percent efficient.

Their use of multiple tuned lasers might cause you to rethink what they need to do. Often two can work together in harmony... Increasing each one's "efficiency" by a rather large factor.

The electric arc can produce an electromagnetic event horizon. This boundary condition is able to extract energy from the vacuum. Photons exits one side of this boundary and its negative energy partner is captured inside the boundary.

Rossi's reactor produces huge amounts of blue light. Those photons come from the vacuum. The negative energy partner's of those photons produce a bluer light because those photons are vibrating at a negative frequency of their positive energy partners.

The recent explosion of a transformer in New York City turned night into day. This electric arc must have produced a LENR event where a huge amount of blue light was extracted from the vacuum when an electric explosion produced an EMF event horizon.

https://imageresizer.static...

Axil: What, in your opinion, makes an arc discharge special in this regard? An arc forms plasma, but just having plasma is probably not yet sufficient to produce an anomalous heat effect. What's the it about the arc?

The LENR capable arc produces an event horizon.

This Russian experiment explains how an arc becomes an analog EMF black hole(aka Black EVO). The pictures of what that black hole looks like is great. The experiment also shows some weird stuff that goes on.

Features of the periodic discharge in the fluid flow and the specifics of its impact on the electrode material

Axil, I do not believe that vacuum contains enough energy. Matter contains concentrated energy as Einstein has proved multiple times. Maybe that your mirrors can warp energy from another universe to ours, but I do not think that there is any sign of such mechanism, nor that vacuum contains enough energy to explain the high COP of AR and BLP. I would concentrate on mechanisms like fusion or fission to explain the LENR phenomenon.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...

the vacuum energy of free space has been estimated to be 10^−9 joules (10^−2 ergs) per cubic meter. However, in both quantum electrodynamics (QED) and stochastic electrodynamics (SED), consistency with the principle of Lorentz covariance and with the magnitude of the Planck constant suggest a much larger value of 10^113 joules per cubic meter. This huge discrepancy is known as the cosmological constant problem.

Vacuum entanglement

There are theories that assume that the vacuum is entangled.

https://www.nextbigfuture.c...

When entanglement is involved, this brings up the possibility of super- radiance.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...

This property of the vacuum means that the energy of the entire vacuum is connected as in a power grid and all the energy is available at any point in space instantly.

One thing that LENR systems can show is just how much energy that the vacuum can produce.

"the energy of the entire vacuum is connected as in a power grid and all the energy is available at any point in space instantly" Makes sense, kind of, because the vacuum is Lorentz-invariant: is not like fluid or ether that would have to flow to get from point A to point B. (A detail: maybe not quite instantaneously, but fast anyway, at the speed of light.)

Of course, your model is quite speculative, but unless or until someone establishes experimentally that the liberated energy equals the change in nuclear binding energy, there is room for such models also.

Someone could argue that transmutations definitely show that LENR is a nuclear process. However, I'm worried that some transmutation signals might be non-nuclear, generated by the following mechanism: Local LENR spots produce local ionisation, which breaks down gas or liquid phase dissolved molecules into free radicals. The free radicals react eagerly with the nearest surface, thus producing local enrichment of rare elements at the LENR active site. The source of the elements would be impurities that exist everywhere. In a sense, LENR (or anything that causes local ionisation) could produce "transmutation" without nuclear reactions.

INPULS TESLA
ATTENTION, it seems like a game, until you reach the threshold, but then it's DANGEROUS.
For those interested, here is an example of Tesla Impulse: take an electric circuit made by a few copper coils. Suppose you feed it with a large 12 V battery capable of generating hundreds of Amps if necessary. Now you have to have a relay that closes the circuit for some time. Begin to send 12 V for the time of 1 second with the result that everything merges. Now it sends in a circuit identical to the previous 12 Volt but this time finds the minimum time for which the circuit resists and does not melt. This begins to be called Tesla Impulse. At this point Tesla began to create ever more powerful impulses, so on the same circuit he sent 24 volts reducing the time. Then 48 Volt Tesla built relays with very small ignition times that allowed them to increase the voltage more and more. The current MUST be continuous and never alternating. The problem arose with the high tensions as a spark sparked that generated a damped alternating pulse that was not good. The impulse must be very powerful unidirectional, much higher than what the circuit can bear. Only in this way is the fabric that holds this reality torn apart. Imagine that the universe lies like a spider's web. The network has an elasticity, and all the phenomena of classical physics are within its elasticity. To "tear off" the web we need to overcome the point of elasticity.

Why would that imply anything being unreal? The impulse might overpower meters and other kinds of actions. That just means a very or even extremely high powered action. When it starts to interfere with ones thought processes, then it is extremely powerful to the point of affecting very tightly bound processes. Until it does that it is more mechanical than mysterious. Mysteries belong in the movies. Just call it an unknown reaction and leave the melodrama out.

Unless one wants to sneak in supernatural notions into science. That is noticeable on many comments on Ecat World lately.

There’s no such thing as the supernatural. There is however the aspect of nature that we can not detect or understand using our matter/space/time model of reality. What is ghostly and insubstantial is the ordinary world of our senses.

Ultimate Reality is solid and enduring but its nature is a profound mystery except for a few superficial glimmers of insight by physicists.

Mmm...

I do not understand

This might not apply to you, but some comments are clearly agenda driven, by religious upbringing and the dogmas that entails. The real world, as we sense it, by natural means or,by instruments is all we have. The rest is just imagination, which, if unchecked, can lead to results not related to reality. The big bang was first introduced by a catholic priest, to fit physics with scripture. Other theories, not based on QWM, predict a steady state universe that is oscillatory, as per the prediction of GUT-CP. which prediction is at least partially corroborated by others..That does not sit well with the religious arena, where anything that existed for an infinite time must belong only to deities.

It is itself a dogma that that “real world” of which you speak is what we sense by natural means or with instruments. The world of our perception is imaginary and is only symbolic of ultimate underlying reality.

Dr. Carlos Rovelli, in his book “Reality is not What it Seems” explains that bits of matter are not “things”, that space is composed of a finite number of granules, and that time does not exist.

Reality can not be understood using our matter/space/time model. We do not understand the meaning of existence, and we do not understand conscious awareness which frames our every experience. By corollary we do not even know what we ourselves are.

This is not religion but rather it is a frank acknowledgment of our profound ignorance.
