It is a quantum mechanical phenomenon in which an electric charged particle is affected by an electromagnetic potential despite being confined in a region in which the magnetic field and the electric field are equal to zero. The underlying mechanism is the coupling of the electro-magnetic potential with the complex phase of a charged particle’s wave function: the Aharonov-Bohm effect derives from the interference generated by the phase shift of a particle that runs through a solenoid. Important in this context is the “zitterbewegung” effect, that is the vibration at the speed of light of a particle that moves forward at a slower speed, a phenomenon first observed by Dirac.

Walt posted: “For example, placing 2 (or more) LENR devices in close proximity to each other, wouldn’t the neutrino flux from one (or the many), alter the operational characteristics of the other?”
While I personally consider neutrinos an unlikely mechanism to affect LENR processes:
1. Have you simultaneously tested two or more eCat devices operating in close proximity?
2. Do they behave differently as compared when they are simultaneously operated at extended distances from each other?
The cause of any effect may not be determinable but you should be certain that eCat reactor operations are independent from each other, or conversely, there is no “critical distance” when the operate in close proximity. Consider large thermal or electricity plants where there may be thousands of eCat reactors operating in relative close proximity.

Only experiments could answer, but I have no idea how such an experiment could be done. In few words, I am not able to answer.

Dr Rossi,
I’m not asking for you to express an opinion on whether low energy neutrinos could be at the root of LENR, but hypothetically, if they were:
1) couldn’t that be a testable theory?
2) For example, placing 2 (or more) LENR devices in close proximity to each other, wouldn’t the neutrino flux from one (or the many), alter the operational characteristics of the other?
Neutrinos are impacted by distance (r-squared), but they aren’t impacted by lead or Faraday cages, etc. If the neutrino theory were valid, then it might be possible to turn an operating LENR device into something like a low energy neutrino detector.
Crazy thought– fun to think about since there’s currently no known way to detect LE neutrinos, but difficult, I have to think, to implement.

Dear Dott. Rossi according to your studies, at what point you are in explaining the lenr reaction on a scale of one to ten.
Thank you for your reply and my best wishes to you and your staff.
Regarding recovery of electricity from your E-Cat SK’s, you have indicated that you have identified a possible solution for extracting usable electricity, that you are heavily committing your time and resources to experiments towards this solution, if this solution you are evolving does not eventually reach the efficiency level you require, will you still pursue alternative options for direct / indirect recovery of electricity.
A possible alternative would follow from the sequence of events.
From previous indications, to drive activity in the E-Cat’s charge you inject an electrical trigger signal, this induces electron coherence in your active material, a coherent state then leads to particular nuclear activity, from this a pathway leads on to the eventual production of extreme ultraviolet emissions, heat and electricity within the E-Cat SK charge.
In this overall sequence there is likely a small-time delay between input and output electrical events. Would it be possible to use rapid switching (mechanical or electrical), i.e. connect the charge for a period to initiate, then disconnect from the control electronics and connect to electronics / capacitors / batteries for a period to recover the produced electricity, then switch back to input again and repeat. Partially diverting the charge output electricity away from the control panel will also have the benefit of reduced cooling requirements.
Likely that reality is not as simple as this, even if it was theoretically possible, I have no doubt it may be impracticable, incredibly difficult or not efficient enough for meaningful use, and that you may have already investigated this, but if not, just possibly worth a thought.

The problems you cite were exposed during the test of Stockholm on November 24 2017: google “Ecat QX presentation Stockholm November 24 2017”
In the presentation of the Ecat SK here http://www.ecatskdemo.com
the problem has been resolved and all the energy was thermalized.
Since then we started a cycle of R&D aimed to produce not only heat, but also electricity directly from the plasma.
We are working very well on it and it is not impossible that before the end of this year we will have consistent results: we are looking for obtaining a permanent ssm.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
You have indicated previously that in addition to the bulk of the energy output being extreme ultraviolet emissions, there is also heat traveling back through the connecting cabling to the control box, and that up until recently the E-Cat produces electricity but that it was not in a usable form and it was efficient / convenient to thermalize it in the control box.
For the January 2019 test, how much heat was removed from the control box by the control box heat exchanger.
Dr Rossi,
About the “electron capture”: you are right. It’s pure B.S.
The electron capture surely has been observed, but, as you correctly said, only in case of radioactive isotopes with a number of protons that exceeds the capacity of neutrons to shield the Coulombian forces.
Cheers

Dr Rossi,
Here is an update of the statistics of Andrea Rossi publication on Researchgate: these numbers are not just stunning, they are unbelievable. No one has ever reached these numbers in 6 months, few Professors of the highest level have reached these numbers in their entire professional life:
Full Readings after 6 months: more than 30 000 (thirty thousands !!!) and counting. The average is 50 after years.
Research Interest Index: 851.0 and counting. The average is 10 after years.
Recommendations: 2599 and counting. The average is 10 after years and, by the way, this is some peer reviewing!
Every comment is useless. The world is waiting trustfully for your Ecat SK able to power itself with part of the energy it makes, this is the sole thing that can explain these numbers.
Ad majora,
Prof
Ken:
The first version we will introduce in the market ( if we will be successful with our R&D on course ) will generate only the electricity necessary to maintain a permanent self sustaining mode, without necessity of external power sources of any kind, in any moment, not even at the start. Eventually we will proceed to evolve toward an excess of electric energy production.
We are very close to the first mode.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Dr Rossi,
Will the Ecat SK Leonardo produce only the electric energy necessary to power itself, or will it generate also electric energy in excess for sale or other utilizations?
Do you think your Ecat SK Leonardo able to make energy without external power source will be able to obtain certification also for household appliances ?

I agree with Prof: the dramatic success of
