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).

Would you rather have lost hundreds of $billions of taxpayer money for NOTHING or tens of $millions of private funding for ‘nothing’? You are exhibiting an extreme double standard,the double standard of a skeptopath so we are asking you to leave this thread.

Bringing up FISSION when we’re discussing FUSION is just pure skeptopathic obfuscation. Asked & answered skeptopathy.

Leave this thread. JimRob says “when asked to leave, then leave”...

Go back to your own skeptopathy threads, that’s what they are there for.

This is no longer a debate. This is you trying to pollute a scientific inquiry thread, so get lost.

You have been asked politely more than once to leave this thread, and please leave all of our LENR threads per the updated rules of engagement.

You wanna debate? Then post your refutation on your own skeptopathic threads, and post the link on ours and say something like “refuted”. That’s it.

Other than doing that, you’re simply trying to pollute a legit science thread with pure obfuscation and trolling. Such things are not allowed on FR any more, and besides, you got your own threads to do that on.

We’ll let you know. Doubtless it will be 200 years prior to a hot fusion solution, so we’ll dig up your grave and let you know at that time.

In the meantime, LEAVE THESE LENR THREADS per JimRob’s stated policy.

You are not welcome here but you are welcome on the skeptopathy threads. Compete in the marketplace of ideas rather than polluting threads.

You don’t even know the difference between theory and experimental results.

There are dozens of cold fusion theories just like there’s dozens of theories of gravity. We know gravity exists but we don’t know why. There is no overriding theory of gravity, similarly the same case with cold fusion.

The thing driving cold fusion isn’t theory, it is the hundreds of peer reviewed replications and EXPERIMENTAL results. Per Richard Feynmann, experiment trumps theory. Period.

You’re the liberal here, choosing to overlook hundreds of $billions squandered TAXPAYER money towards hot fusion while straining at the gnat of tens of $millions of PRIVATE money spent on cold fusion.

It’s about 25 orders of magnitude between the mass of a fly and the mass of the earth.

“Let me know when...”
In the meantime, how about you stay off LEMR threads, since all you’re interested in doing is to troll?

Do you even know the difference between fission and fusion?

I already have a low energy reactor perfected inside my body.

I eat a lot and have a low energy output.

"Cold Fusion has much to prove and to date little to show of any significance."

Also true of "hot fusion", and much, much more so.
