Lecture 3: Why do we need the Higgs? This short lecture explains why the Higgs field is needed to made the theory of the Electroweak force work. I believe that the Electroweak force is what drives the LENR reaction. Therefore, LENR is the first real practical application of the Higgs field. On page 3 of this article, you will see an illustration of the Mexican hat potential of the Higgs field. The blue dot on top of the hat is the W- boson. Its potential is stored in superposition: a possibility of creation, until the Higgs field is perturbed. In LENR, the thing that perturbs the W- boson is the EMF field passing through the neutron of the nucleus. The Higgs field is jumpy, in geek speak, it is tachyonic. It is like a hat in the back of a pickup riding down a bumpy road. That W- boson jumps al around on top of that hat. It won’t take much to push it out of that crease in the top of the hat. When the charge carried by the EMF field gets strong enough, the W- boson gets created and falls into the rim of the hat. The EMF field is like a breeze blowing over the hat that is trying to push the boson over the edge. The W- boson then converts the neutron into a proton which converts the atom from one element to another. If the element is nickel, it will be converted to copper. This transmutation process will liberate about 6MeV of binding energy along with an electron and an anti-electron-neutrino. The creation of all those neutrinos will waste loads of energy. By the way, the test for this idea is to put an Ni/H reactor very near a neutrino detector and test for a jump in neutrino detection. About 10 to the 20th power of these neutron decays happen every second in a Ni/H reactor. Since a coulomb is 10 to the 18th power of electrons, about 100 amps of electrons are produced by the Ni/H reactor every second by neutron decay. This is another reason why I believe that Rossi is telling the truth about his reactor. He says that his reactor produces huge amounts of electric current. So much current in fact that he can tap this current directly rather than use heat to steam conversion to produce electric power. Rossi says he does not know where this electric current is coming from, but to the great satisfaction of our curiosity we now know. Cheers: Axil
