[NewCandle] Dash squiddies on Pd foil

[Horace Heffner]

Nick,

The photogenic squiddies get around!  I just got my I.E. and there  
thy were!

The article by E.H.Lewis,"Traces of Ball Lightnings in  
Apparatus",Infinite Energy, Volume 14, Issue 83, 2009,p. 16, Figures  
20 and 21 show squiddies observed on loaded palladium by Dash.

I.E. website is:

http://www.infinite-energy.com/

but the article is not available there.

On P 16 the article states; "Figures 20 and 21 both show filaments  
that grew on electrodes used by Dash. [32] According to Dash, Mizuno  
found similar filaments.  In Figure 21, if you look closely, you will  
see that the particular fiber they analyzed looked different over  
time. The fibers in Figure 21 are particularly anomalous because they  
grew and changed long after the experiment was over."

"[32] J. Dash, personal email, 2006."

Referenced just prior was:

"[31] Dash, J, et al. 2004, "Research at Portland State University on  
the Interaction of Metals with Hydrogen Isotopes," powerpoint demo  
for ICCF11."

The filaments have little nodules and branches on them - definitely  
like the squiddy photos.
  Fig. 19 says in barely legible handwriting: "appearance of blob  
with fibers after 10 hours of electrolysis (Pd foil xxx used as  
cathode)"  Another photo of changed squiddies in Figure 19 has the  
phrase "6 weeks later".

Fig. 21 text says: "Changes in morphology and EDS spectra of features  
on an electrode used by Dash.  These changes occurred during storage  
at room temperature with no further electrolysis. The EDS spectra may  
be evidence of the change relative abundance of the two isotopes of  
silver on the fiber."

Wow.  Error in reading EDX?

I found another paper by Lewis that mentions Dash:

http://www.lenr-canr.org/acrobat/LewisEevidenceofb.pdf

On page 2: "Rodionov wrote that they found changes in physical and  
chemical properties of the underlying layers. Tunnels and holes  
appeared, along with microscopic structures like films, hollow  
spheres, cylinders, filaments, and “sausages” that move around and  
form even after the experiment is over for weeks [11]. What they  
wrote about is similar to Dash’s report about electrode anomalies  
after “death,” and is suggestive that the state of matter continues  
for weeks or longer."

"11. B. Rodionov and I. Savvatimova , “Unusual Structures On the  
Material Surfaces Irradiated By Low Energy Ions and In Other Various  
Processes,” Proceedings of the ICCF-11, Yokohama, Japan, 2005."

Lewis attributes the growths and changes to change in the fundamental  
nature of metals exposed to miniature ball lightning and/or cold  
fusion.  He references Ben Franklin's observation that lightning  
causes metals and adjacent insulator materials to merge.  He has some  
pretty amazing tracks of supposed BL on nuclear emulsions and x-ray  
film, I think courtesy of B. Rodionov and I. Savvatimova.
