Abstract and Figures Significant enhancement of excess thermal power by the anomalous heat effect (AHE) has been attained by our latest experiments on interaction of binary nano-composite metal powders and H (or D) gas at elevated temperature of 300-400 °C.
Observed excess thermal power levels in average were 10, 86 and 186 W/kg-sample for PNZ10, PNZ10r and PNZ10rr, respectively with deuterium-gas.
In addition, levels in average were 11, 117 and 226 W/kg-sample for CNZ7, CNZ7r and CNZ7rr, respectively with light hydrogen gas.
Generation of excess thermal power was very reproducible by week cycle runs of heating power on/off mode, and was steady for several days in each elevated temperature run.
INTRODUCTION The anomalous heat effect (AHE) by the interaction of hydrogen-isotope-gas and nickel-based nano-composite samples as Pd-Ni/zirconia (PNZ) and Cu-Ni/zirconia (CNZ) powder samples at elevated temperatures around 300 °C has been studied intensively [1,2] under the NEDO-MHE project in 2015-2017 [3], for verifying the existing of the phenomenon and finding conditions of excess power generation in controllable way.
As reviewed in ref. [4], the 8 year-long (2008-2015) series of study on AHE by interaction of metal nanoparticles and D(H)-gas under the collaboration of Technova Inc. and Kobe University has become the basis for the collaborative research of NEDO-MHE.
The AHE phenomenon has been replicated by independent experiments at Tohoku University as well as at Kobe University under the collaboration study of the NEDO-MHE project [5, 6, 7].
Observed excess thermal power level of AHE were on the level of 3-20 W, and more enhancement was required for industrial application. To scale up the AHE power level, study has been extended [8, 9] independently at Kobe University as the collaboration project with Technova Inc., after the 2015-2017 NEDO-MHE project.
We have found that the re-calcination of used metal composite powder sample was very effective to enhance excess thermal power by the succeeding hydrogen charging runs at elevated temperature as reported in our ICCF22 presentation [10] and paper [11].
In this paper, we report that further significant enhancement of excess thermal power has been obtained by using the third re-calcined samples as PNZ10rr (Pd1Ni10/zirconia) and CNZ7rr (Cu1Ni7/zirconia).
The gas-turbulence effect by large local AHE has been observed in all elevated temperature runs, in which we observed generation of over 50 W excess thermal powers with rather steady continuation for Typical rise-up time-evolution of RC (reaction chamber) temperatures (RTD1-4; upper left), oil outlet (TC1, TC2, TC3), inlet (TC6) and upper flange center (TC4) temperatures (lower left), pressures (upper right) and neutron rate (green; lower right), for PNZ10rr #1-4 [140, 95] run

Do you think it’s a surface effect or a bulk effect? I remember seeing a couple of studies that used sintered metal as the lattice. One thing that sintering does is to incrase the surface area.
I think, more accurately, a thin layer effect. "Surface" is kind of a nebulously defined thing. IIRC, one of the earliest claims to high output was by an ex-Dow Chemical electrochemist (Patterson??), who used a palladium layer on plastic beads. Not exactly a high temperature system.
Patterson was a classic tragic cold fusioneer. Once he started getting high COPs, he saw thought he was gonna be a trillionaire. He kept all his data to himself. And then he died, burying his secrets with him. Not exactly someone in it for the science.
My theory is that it is a linear lattice effect.
On the skin of materials ,the very top nano layer of atoms are a jumbled mess, like an orchard hit by a tsunami. Once you get past those destroyed trees, you see the symmetry and crystalline structure of the orchard. Even a blind man could walk in the same direction for a mile.
Once the hydrogen or deuterium gets absorbed into the linear crystalline structure of the bulk lattice host metal just a few atoms beneath the surface, it starts dancing back & forth in a line inside its linear crystalline cage. Then it gets joined by another H or D atom doing the same linear dance. Then another and another until there’s maybe a hundred or a thousand linear dancing hydrogen/deuterium atoms bouncing into each other,
Eventually these back&forth dancing atoms start to move in sync with each other, forming a linear Bose-Einstein Condensate [BEC]. Inside a BEC, the Coulomb Barrier almost drops completely, making fusion events much much more likely.
Significantly, some of rhe highest COPs are seen when the Lattice is COOLED before the reaction. BECS are formed at low temperatures.
When researchers use H1 gas instead of H2 gas, they are inducing a chemical change that Hydrogen wants to do before anything else, it wants to meet up with a nearby H1 atom to form H2 gas in an ENDOthermic reaction, cooling the surrounding lattice. Another example is what K P Sinha & Meulenberg did, they laser-COOLED a lattice to begin the reactions. President Clinton’s science advisor Steven Chu got a Nobel Prize for using lasers to cool atoms to form BECs.
That’s the gist of my V1DDLLBEC theory — Vibrating 1 Dimensional Luttinger Liquid Bose Einstein Condensate.

thread started by yours truly
I think I might reproduce this thread over here at some point
Not everyone is, and I can't fault them for that. Will read your links later...been "very busy" today with a million niggling needs.
Start with the superwave animation, it’s pretty good.
