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.

I don't see the relevance.
I've asked for similar information regarding all the thousands of LENR replications that Kevmo claims. Kevmo said he'd rather clip his toenails than provide it.
Three cold fusion threads on FR in the past 10 days, including one of yours, mentions Rossi.
He’s engaging in engineering, not science.
He's engaging in his life long specialty, fraud.

I did a 'suggestion of the week' project for most of a year. Every single suggestion I submitted was rejected ~ only to be adopted about 2 years later once it was outside the scope off the program and eligible for consideration for award.
Corruption is corruption.
Most of government is like that; most likely any large company that inserts its lawyers between patent proposals and marketing is like that too.
Perpetual motion machines don't qualify either.
One team of LENR researchers in Japan blew up their lab. They set up again in Hokkaido, the large, underpopulated island in the North. Is iwamura one of those guys? They scared Japanese physicists straight.
Any further data on that LENR explosion?
WHy? You can't patent nuclear weapons, but a new type of reactor should be patentable -- ONCE somebody presents a working model.
Trick is you are not going to waltz in and get a patent on this ~ at this time.
Do you have a link to a report on that explosion?
Wouldn't think that would be difficult (or unlikely) for folks playing with hydrogen and its isotopes to do... FWIW, you could see the shockwaves radiating out from some of the H2 explosions at Fukushima (indicating supersonic VOD?)
The explosion I referred to was listed in http://lenr-canr.org/wordpress/ with some pictures. That was followed up with news about the guys who ran the lab setting up in Hokkaido. i believe this is the same group ~ conveniently located away from the heavily populated areas of japan ~ http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/MizunoTanomalouse.pdf ~ I keep all this stuff in mind since so much of it involves electrolysis, and the Japanese seem to hold the record for blowing stuff up ~
Indeed, it does!
Thanks for the recommendation, dear Wonder Warthog!
Thanks for the link, dear Kevmo!
Thanks for the link and book recommendation, dear Kevmo!
That is a very long video, and I stopped it at 3:06. I may watch it later and see if he explains how he changes neutrons into protons, but now, I'm just too tired.
Transmutation is nothing new (and it is not the same as "cold fusion"). It's done all the time to make radioisotopes for biological research. I want to know how this guy from Mitsubishi claims to have done it. I seem to recall reading something last night about how this is being developed as a means of dealing with nuclear waste, and not as an energy source.
If what you say has any weight whatsoever, some other legitimate freeper will ask the same thing.
Note: You can’t patent what you do not understand well enough to explain it in a patent application. (Fundamental research on principles and mechanisms is key to defending application patents...)
***You can patent flame throwers, ovens, and even internal combustion engines without understanding the plasma physics behind a flame. Care to explain what a flame is? We have been using it for thousands of years but explaining it is beyond the understanding of 99% of the population, including patent examiners.
