Is it possible to split water with magnetic fields?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the possibility of using magnetic fields to split water, particularly through the lens of Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR) and the potential influence of magnetic fields on electron orbital energies. The scope includes theoretical considerations, experimental approaches, and the validity of claims made in the context of cold fusion.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested, Technical explanation, Experimental/applied

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants propose using ultra high efficiency magnets to create oscillating pulses that could potentially break the Coulomb barrier affecting electron orbital shells.
  • One participant questions the feasibility of magnets having a frequency, suggesting that a slow change in magnetic flux could create a magnetic pulse, similar to inductive heating.
  • There is mention of existing research efforts to enhance the reproducibility and heat output of LENR using various methods, but a lack of exploration into the use of magnetic fields from Bitter Magnets or imploding magnets.
  • Another participant requests links to peer-reviewed articles or arXiv papers to support claims made about the use of magnetic fields in this context.
  • One participant cites Edmund Storms as a source of information regarding the topic, while another challenges the credibility of Storms' work and emphasizes the need for credible sources in the discussion.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the validity of claims regarding the use of magnetic fields in LENR and the credibility of sources cited. The discussion remains unresolved with multiple competing perspectives on the topic.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include the lack of consensus on the credibility of sources and the need for peer-reviewed evidence to support claims. The discussion also highlights the ambiguity surrounding the application of magnetic fields in this context.

Does anyone know if they have considered using ultra high efficiency magnets to create an oscillating pulse into the energy of the electron orbital shells? This may in turn break the Coulomb barrier.

your statement doesn't make sense, magnets don't have a frequency
 
Can a slow change in the flux make a sort of magnetic pulse with a frequency of its oscillation. I mean that's what causes inductive heating.
 
So far it appears researchers have tried to increase the repoducibility or heat output of Low Energy Nuclear Reactions by using lasers, electrical pulse, microwaves but no one has yet thought to use magnetic fields created by "Bitter Magnets" or imploding magnets to increase the anomalous heat ("excess heat) reaction.

Can your post some links to peer-reviewed journal articles? Or even some arXiv articles?
 
Edmund Storms has written about this. Do you have evidence to dispute my contention?

"Edmund Storms has written about this" is not a credible source (hell, nothing Edmund Storms has written is a credible source). Even so, that's not how PF works. If you make a claim, you need to be able to back it up with a credible source. Such a source is one that is published either in a peer-reviewed journal, or a paper in the arXiv at a Mentors discretion (read: something you might expect that will soon be published).
 
Cold fusion is not a topic for PF. Thread closed.
