Indeed… and what if that miniscule addition of energy is repeated at, and in-phase with, the frequency of the electron oscillation (~10^15Hz). If the addition of energy is in-phase (coherent, constructive), then the energy accumulated over 1 second in a single H atom is the product of 5.87^-6 eV * 10^15, which is: 5.87^9 eV or ~6GeV. Agreed, that seems a bit far-fetched, but that’s the ideal situation, assuming that the addition is always in-phase and thus constructive. In reality, the nature of the atomic environment is far from ideal, so this would be an upper limit to the amount of E that could be constructively accumulated in 1 second. However, what isn’t so farfetched, is that all that has to happen is for the conditions within the NAE (or wherever LENR takes place) be stable for a small fraction of a second before enough energy is accumulated to overcome the coulomb barrier…
Now this example used the hyperfine value of 5.87µeV/transition, and who knows what the source is for the ‘pumping’ that might be happening in LENR/NAE, but the idea is that given the extreme frequencies involved, it doesn’t take long to accumulate a lot of E under these coherent conditions. -Mark Iverson _____________________________________________ From: Jones Beene [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2013 5:44 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Vo]:RE: LENR, Lonsdaleite and Tunguska From: MarkI-ZeroPoint Atomic absorption spectroscopy does exhibit some phenomena which are in this range of the EM spectrum, e.g., the 21cm line of hydrogen which is due to the atomic transition between the two hyperfine levels of the hydrogen 1s ground state with an energy difference of 5.87433 µeV. Now, that is way too small of an energy difference to think it could have anything to do with LENR effects directly… Even this low energy transition (and the Lamb shift) could possibly be utilized in a gainful device if the sequential frequency of transition is pumped by anything “free” and the transition is; but a way to extract the gain needs to be found. In empty space, the time for an isolated atom of hydrogen to undergo this flip transition is millions of years - but that is near absolute zero temperature. At terahertz levels of ambient blackbody vibration of hydrogen in a metal lattice, every million transitions would conceivably give quite a nice bump if they happened near the phonon rate, and if the input power is kept low. This was one way that the late Robert Forward envisioned to collect ZPE.
