[NewCandle] Dash squiddies on Pd foil

[Keith Nagel]

Hey Horace,

Thanks for the pointer! Can you scan the image in IE for us to see?
Such as it is, I'm right now in Dash's backyard, and may well
try to pay the guy a visit in the near future. Especially if he
can get me some time on the electron microscope. Surely he'd
be interested in the silver connection (grin).

Not sure what all this has to do with ball lightning though.

K.

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.
