Abstract:

“A low energy nuclear reactor (LENR) is provided for producing thermal energy. The LENR includes first and second vessels and an ignitor. The first vessel defined a first chamber containing LENR fuel. The second vessel disposed inside the first vessel defines a second chamber containing exothermic material. The ignitor initiates the exothermic material by sparking. The LENR fuel reacts to produce the thermal energy in response to initiation heat from the exothermic material.”

Claims:

1. A low energy nuclear reactor (LENR) for providing thermal energy, said LENR comprising: a first vessel defining a first chamber containing LENR fuel; a second vessel disposed inside said first vessel and defining a second chamber containing exothermic material; and an ignitor for initiating said exothermic material by sparking, wherein said LENR fuel reacts to produce the thermal energy in response to initiation heat from said exothermic material.

2. The LENR according to claim 1, further comprising an electric source to provide said sparking as sudden energy application.

3. The LENR according to claim 1, wherein said LENR fuel comprises lithium (Li) and lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH.sub.4) as reagents and nickel (Ni) as a catalyst.

4. The LENR according to claim 1, wherein said exothermic material comprises aluminum (Al) and iron oxide (Fe.sub.2O.sub.3).

5. The LENR according to claim 1, further comprising a Seebeck device to convert said thermal energy into electrical energy.

6. The LENR according to claim 1, wherein said vessels are composed of at least one of titanium (Ti), tantalum (Ta), tungsten (W), Hastelloy, Inconel, stainless steel, alumina (Al.sub.2O.sub.3), and hafnium boride (HfB.sub.2).

7. The LENR according to claim 1, wherein said ignitor is composed of one of sodium azide (NaN.sub.3) and copper azide (Cu(N.sub.3).sub.2).

The Navy was first to patent the LENR reaction.

United States Patent 8,419,919 granted on April 16, 2013 is for a method of applying current to an electrochemical cell for charging. The method utilizes palladium and an electrode dissolved in heavy water. The cathode may contain another metal such as gold that doesn’t absorb deuterium. That sounds like an LENR method.

This patent is not just an application, it was granted.

The first iteration of the patent referenced was filed in 2007. It remained hidden for six years, being published/exposed and granted at the same time in 2013. It has recently had its rights extended....

Wasn’t aware the US Navy was working on a Yeb! reactor. Have a feeling it’ll Cost more than 100 Million Dollars and Yield very little power per dollar.

Reactor (LENR) for providing thermal energy, said LENR comprising: a first vessel defining a first chamber containing LENR fuel; a second vessel disposed inside said first vessel and defining a second chamber containing exothermic material; and an ignitor for initiating said exothermic material by sparking,

The LENR according to claim 1, wherein said ignitor is composed of one of sodium azide (NaN.sub.3) and copper azide

This chemical sparker is new. This reactor is different in most part from any reactor that anyone else has created or at least place in the public record. The chamber in a chamber is similar to the cat and mouse systems that others have described. The Electroweak force assumes a long range nature and can penetrate the wall of the second chamber to reach and react with the material in the second chamber.

[Kevmo]

I once did a Joules per dollar calculation for LENR vs. Hot Fusion and found that cold fusion had 23 orders of magnitude more bang for the buck.

Interesting

Thanks Kevmo.

That’s Hedley!

Theoretical. Let me know when someone actually produces a viable (capable of supplying significant real-world levels of power) Cold Fusion reactor.

[Fai Mao]

For those of us with degrees in library science, not real science, what does this mean? Has the USN solved the issues with cold fusion?

Can I buy a nuclear car in 2025?

[IncPen]

Let me know when someone actually produces a viable (capable of supplying significant real-world levels of power) Cold Fusion reactor.

You could probably set a Google alert for that, and then the rest of us wouldn’t feel bad you know, getting on with our lives...

oops, 25 orders of magnitude

[Kevmo]

Give us 10% of those useless hot fusion boys’ funding and it’ll be a product in 5 years.

Do you demand productization for room temperature superconductivity? Nope. Double standard that ONLY applies to LENR.

ere comes the seagull brigade. Please leave this thread, follow what JimRob says to do.

You are not welcome here, you are welcome there.

[Kevmo]

Can you buy a hot fusion car in 2025? Then why spend billions of dollars on it when cold fusion is much closer?

I just purchased it last week...to add to "Gone With The Wind", "Idiocracy", and "Team America"...:)
