Researchers from Toyota Central Research and Development Laboratories performed an independent replication of a Mitsubishi low-energy nuclear reaction transmutation experiment, according to a physicist from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries speaking at the American Nuclear Society LENR session on Nov. 14 in San Diego, Calif.
The physicist, Yasuhiro Iwamura, told the ANS audience that the Toyota researchers confirmed that nuclear changes from one element to another took place without the use of high-energy nuclear physics. Most scientists who have not followed this field closely consider such profound claims inconceivable. Toyota used a LENR deuterium-permeation transmutation method that Iwamura invented.
Iwamura has been working with this LENR method for 14 years. He said that one of his LENR transmutations was closely but not identically replicated by Toyota. Osaka University and Iwate University previously reported similar replications.

Oh noes!! My PPLT stock will plummet.
Sorry, but I loaned my crystal ball to my granddaughter. '-)
Actually, your question is sorta like asking the guy who discovered that petroleum will burn if you can have a Maserati...
I have always thought that this process will lead to a new understanding of nuclear physics. It implies that you could have a nuclear generator (without radiation) in your basement generating electricity for quite a few years unattended.
FReepMail for you...
To me, the excitement in this is potential understanding of deuterium-rich transmutations / formation processes for heavy element creation inside stars. IMHO, cosmological theory and the “big bang” explanation of Creation just got a whole lot more real...
I noticed that too. And platinum is very useful.
NOTE: It was mined out long ago!
To me, the excitement in this is potential understanding of transmutations / formation processes for heavy element development inside deuterium-rich, fusion-powered stars.
IMHO, cosmological theory and the big bang explanation of Creation (of the Earth) just got a whole lot more real...
I’m more than good with Platinum.
I wonder what the State Alchemy Board is going to say about THAT?
Clearly it is a case of illegal non-State Alchemist activity as they are Toyota employees, not employees of the State Military of Amestris.
Such unsanctioned alchemy could cost one of them an arm and a leg...
Or Fuhrer King Barack?
Indeed, this opens a lot of possibilities concerning the big bang and Creation of Earth.
betty boop, I do hope you will reach out to Grandpierre (astrophysicist specializing in the sun) - I'm very curious to hear his reaction to this discovery.
Great post!
It means in 50 years we’ll get all our power from Mr. Fusion.
The worcher forsoth of all myracles is the one and sool God, of and fro Whom Cometh all meruelous operacions.
So all thynges were created of o soole substance, and of o soole disposicion, the fader wherof is the sone, and the moone moder, that brought hym forth by blast or aier in the wombe, the erthe taken fro it, to whom is seid the increat fader, tresour of myracles, and yever of vertues.
Of fire is made erthe. Depart the erthe fro the fire, for the sotiller is worthier than the more grosse, and the thynne thynge than the thik. This most be do wisely and discretly.
It ascendith fro the erth into the heven, and falleth fro heven to the erthe, and therof sleith the higher and the lower vertue.
And yf it lordship in the lower and in the heigher, and thow shalt lordship aboue and beneth, which forsoth is the light of lightes, and therfor fro the wolle fle all derknesse.
The higher vertue ouer-cometh all, for sothe all thynne thyng doth in dense thynges.
After the disposicion of the more world rynneth this worchyng.
And for this prophetisyng of the trynyte of God Hermogenes it called Triplex, trebil in philosophie, as Aristotle seith.
Chaucer? (Same linguistic period, at least...)
The above quotation describes Iwamura's experiments most excellently!
Thank you for the entire citation! Much relevance there...
The "osmium(Os) into platinum(Pt)" bit might be interesting. As would be the "tungsten(W) into osmium" reaction.
The Inconceivable Embarrassment From Cold Fusion
dreck...
Up to this point, LENR has been a disappointment, with Rossi's device showing a lot of initial promise, but dissolving into hype.
When heavy-hitters like Mitsubishi and Toyota start announcing results, it's time to grab a cup of coffee and pay attention. They would not risk losing face unless they had subjected their results to a LOT of checking and were sure it was the Real Deal.
