Recently, various studies have shown Nuclear signatures in low energy physical and chemical processes (“Cold fusion” edited by Jean-Paul Biberian). One of the most effective methods to realize low energy nuclear reactions (LENR) is via electrolysis.
Our primary objective is to explore the importance of alloys as opposed to pure metals as cathodes for LENR. To explore this question, we evaluated four systems: Pure Ni, pure Cu, Ni-Fe alloy (Ni 93% and Fe 7% WDS) and Kanthal (Fe 74%,Cr 21% and Al 5%).
The electrolysis setup uses very pure graphite (99.99%, impurity < 0.01% by WDS) for anode, and metal (alloy) wire/strip as cathode. 1 molar potassium carbonate (99.995% by trace metal analysis) aqueous solution is the electrolyte and the system is biased at 20 V, 1 A for 10 hours or so.
We employ highly sensitive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS and WDS) and mass-spectroscopy characterization (TOF SIMS) to characterize the elemental composition and isotopic variations on the cathode before and after the electrolysis. Elements like Ni and Ni-Fe transmute to Cu, Fe, and Mg. Isotopic shifts are also observed in Ni and Cu which forms undeniable proof of transmutations in metal after electrolysis.
While confirming transmutations, the electrolysis experiments reiterate that the macroscopic control of electrochemical conditions (like potential bias, time, amount of current) do not provide an adequate control on the microscopic nuclear environment. Hence, with the same macroscopic parameters, there are variations in nuclear transmutations rates. Overall, our experiments show that it is easier to induce nuclear transmutations in alloys as compared to pure metals.
Currently, we are exploring the underlying reasons for the effectiveness of alloys.
Well, duh.
Its really quite simple
If they want more “trans-mutations”, it makes be much more efficient to inject the corona vaccines directly into ore veins
Tell us something we don’t already know
And that’s why Pluto is no longer a planet.
Nice! Thanks for posting.
It seems pretty well established that LENR can cause elemental transmutation.
If we haven’t already, we will soon figure out the necessary atomic geometries, and the best (possibly crystalline) alloy candidates to produce
useful nuclear effects.
I’ll bet that on the atomic scale, what we want will look like the cones and
cavities of an anechoic chamber, or fractal cavities spiraling down to zero width. Perhaps enhanceable by modulating the electrolyte with tuned scaler wave ultrasonics, as well.

Updated No Internal Trolling Rules for FR per Jim Robinson
The issue isn't whether we allow skepticism, it is whether we allow hyperskeptics and skeptopaths to ruin the scientific dialog. Such FReepers who persist in polluting these threads have been asked to leave, and we are asking that they open their own threads if they have comments.

Unlike most people, I actually have a science degree and have 4 decades of experience in science and engineering. My comments were tongue and cheek, but this not a scientific journal.
wut?
And here I was hoping for a less painful electrolysis for removing the hair on my chin…….
No disruption meant. Just trying to get a chuckle. Lighten up Francis.
Touchy-touchy, Kev.
I’ve got a mechanical engineering degree and led advanced energy system development for 25 years. I worked closely with a research team that evaluated the original Martin Fleischmann & Stanley Pons work.
Seagulls have been disrupting these threads for over a decade — that is FAR, FAR too long to be telling someone to lighten up. If ya aint here to discuss the science then don’t join the squawking brigade.
Then post your scientific results.
I didn’t do the work — just worked closely with the team. That work was 30 years ago and lots has gone on since then.
