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.
Lighten up Kevmo
Then respect the science. Even the hyperskeptic Jones calls the current research “good science”.
CERN “endorses” LENR research as good science.

I tell ya what. You let me harass YOU for over a decade on FR, and then at the end of that decade I’ll say “lighten up, FK.” We’ll see how well you accept sauce for the gander.
Kevmo, lighten up AND get a sense of humor. No coffee for you, 1 week, come back!
Thanks for posting the cold fusion/lenr threads.
I have always found the topic interesting.
Something is going on that they can’t explain with traditional physics. Their is a real effect and many smart people have been working on this for many years.
I don’t know if this research will ever lead to something productive, especially with all the progress that private companies are making with hot fusion.
But unlimited, clean energy would be such a blessing for mankind and every line of research should be pursued.
If you guys are here just to disrupt LENR threads you will be asked to leave.

It’s not a disruption, it’s a quantum vacuum fluctuation.
I have a masters in electrical engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Karen.
You were posting a constant stream of articles about Rossi's E-Cat for years, in spite of the evidence that Rossi was a complete and utter fraud. For very good reason many here will assume anything you post on the topic is the same garbage science you've been posting for 20 years. What is there to discuss about claims to perpetual motion machines?
NO. Not years. About 2-3 MONTHS. So bugger off.
Even Google gave Rossi credit for reopening the field.
Yeah, I thought your reply would be like that because you’re too much of a wuss to take the same level of heat you and your goose-compadres dish out.
Well, then... address the science. Start with how many other fields put up with this crap when the effect has been replicated in peer reviewed journals over 153 times. Here’s a hint: There are NO other fields. Come up to speed.

Mmmmm-K. What’s your takeaway from the article? Enlighten us.
How many aneurisms have you had?
My takeaway is that transmutations are better facilitated with alloys than pure metals.
A much better mechanism is to use the Philosopher's Stone to do the transmutation. First it won't bombard the operators with radiation which by the laws of physics anuy transmutation will produce. And second, it always produces gold as a by product.
Do you really think you’re scoring points here?
You are enjoying poking Kevmo just for the fun of it, but a
number of us would rather not have to wade through your
childish antics to follow topical posts on point.
You have the right to post on these threads but you’re just being
rude, insulting, and disruptive.
No one is asking not to post here. Just stick to the topic
of the thread.
Any organ failure due to hypertension....yet?
Watching an adult act like they’re still looking forward to
middle-school doesn’t cause hypertension in me. It causes
me to pity you for the lack of upbringing your parents and
grade school afforded you.
You didn’t even learn the golden rule.
You’re bound to be offended no matter what anyone says or doesn’t say. You sure you’re not a dimocrat at heart because you behave like a small, self important, petty, nasty lib. Have a good day! And Lighten up, you’ll enjoy life more.
