Dr. Iwamura actually reported on Mitsubishi's success in transmuting six (6) elememts (Na to Al, Ca to Ti, Sr to Mo, Cs to Pr, Ba to Sm and W to Os or Pt.) He also commented that heat was generated,-- but did not elaborate on that aspect of the research.

In all cases the transmutations of elements to other elements with higher atomic numbers were achieved at room temperature and one atmosphere of pressure by means of deuterium diffusion through a multilayer thin film sandwich of palladium (Pd) and Calcium Oxide (CaO).

Much of Krivit's article is "behind a paywall", but the video of Iwamura's paper presentation at an American Nuclear Society meeting (with Krivit presiding) can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VefCEaLAkRw&feature=player_embedded.

Iwamura's Japanese-accented English is quite good, but may be difficult to follow. His figures and explanation, however are quite convincing.

IMO, as a physical chemist, I find this straightforward report of serious, replicated research on LENR physics to be a welcome change from the hype that frequently accompanies discussions of "cold fusion"...

In what amounts were the transmutations?........

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Any word on turning lead or mercury into gold?

[TXnMA]

Heads up to no-nonsense, no hype reporting of solid research on LENR phenomena -- by Mitsubishi, with replication by Toyota researchers. The transmutations reported are shown below:

"W to Os or Pt"

I like that one. Alchemy rulz!

[Paladin2]

Sounds like Cold Fusion.

[Uncle Miltie]

Does this mean I get a nuclear powered Tundra?

I haven’t been following LENR, but this would seem to be a Big F’n Deal, to quote Plugs.

Even if the energy output is less than the input, being able to change elements like this would seem to be pretty extraordinary under these conditions.

Researchers from Toyota Central Research and Development Laboratories performed an independent replication of a Mitsubishi low-energy nuclear reaction transmutation experiment

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...

Great post!

[Fresh Wind]

The title suggests Mitsubishi is building Toyotas now. What’s next? Ford building Chevys?

Mitsubishi Reports Toyota Replication

Did they use a Honda Element?

[Little Ray]

That’s nice. Can you power a car with one?
