Abnormal absorption of hydrogen in nickel at ambient temperature with associated emission of neutrons # Ubaldo Mastromatteo 1

While it is known that nickel at a temperature of a few hundred degrees if in hydrogen can slowly absorb a certain amount of this gas [1], there is no evidence that this can occur at room temperature and at pressures below 1 bar. On the contrary, by conducting studies and experiments on LENR anomalies in the ARGAL laboratory in Bareggio, Italy, it has been experimentally verified several times that nickel in the form of wire, thin ribbon, foam, if properly covered with a thin layer of palladium, can absorb hydrogen in considerable quantities even at room temperature.
Example of results on thin nickel sheet (cut from a ribbon) with 200 nm of Palladium deposited on its surface. (Fig. 1).
Fig. 1- graph in which the black line indicates the drop in pressure from 315 mbar to 147 in about 2 hours and 30 minutes. The red line shows the behavior of a Palladium resistor as thin film Hydrogen sensor.
The material weighing approximately 0.6 grams, inserted inside a steel chamber connected to a vacuum system and a hydrogen generator for the introduction of the gas, after a few minutes from the introduction of hydrogen at a pressure of 315 mbar, began to absorb the gas and the pressure as seen in figure 1 rapidly dropped to 160 mbar.
The reactor chamber volume is 290 cc and so the amount of the hydrogen absorbed can be easily calculated, and also the / ratio.
Simultaneously the neutron monitoring began to show a significant rise in the background as can be seen in Figure 2 which shows two distinct peaks in the distribution of n / h neutrons per hour. The background distribution is the dotted line histogram.
Fig. 2 – neutron per hour monitoring histogram with data relating to many hours in which the reactor was under vacuum and for a similar number of hours after the absorption of hydrogen following the introduction of the gas at a pressure of 315 mbar

for the cold fusion ping list
There should be an earth shattering “BOOM”, in that headline.
Oh lord, another iteration of this stupidity.
Has any of these reported observations regarding low energy reactions ever been confirmed or repeated? Seems like a lot of junk science, if you will, repeated over the years with zero confirmation.
The concept of METAL such as nickel absorbing ANYTHING gives me brain cramps. Does GLASS absorb anything?
Metal hydrides absorb.

Updated No Internal Trolling Rules for FR per Jim Robinson

If someone says stop, then stop. Do not enter onto a thread on a topic you don’t like just to disrupt, rattle cages, poke sticks, insult the regulars, or engage in trolling activities, etc. ~Jim Robinson
The issue isn’t whether we allow skepticism, it is whether we allow hyperskeptics and skeptopaths to ruin the scientific dialog. Civil discussion of the involved science is desired.
😎
Hush now - don’t you know that FR is against censorship...except for when they’re for it...some who trash your scientific discussions because they think science should be “purer” also find “Noble Cause” clauses in the Constitution...eventually, their opinions cease to count and should cause you no concern as they bare their asses.
Interesting.
I was just talking about this the other day with my barber.
Palladium absorbing hydrogen
More technical

What makes an element a metal, is that the electrons are loosely attached to the atoms. This is what allows metals to conduct electricity. When hydrogen gets absorbed, it turns into electrons and protons in the lattice.
Yes, this Anomalous Heat Effect has been replicated in more than 153 peer reviewed journals, the first round by the top ~100 who’s who in electrochemistry.

Yes...quite a few things. And glass leaks some things into whatever it is "containing". It turns out that on molecular and atomic scales, EVERYTHING is porous.
Please leave this thread. Start your own on the subject.
Metals absorb and react to other elements. That is why most metal has to be extracted from ore.
Since glass is "nonporous" most odors from stinky substances can be removed from glass containers with a thorough cleaning and the use of a detergent or acid that will react with whatever residue has been embedded in the surface.
Glass reacts with various substances. Hydrofluoric acid dissolves glass and even a strong solution of Sodium Hydroxide can eat eventually through a glass container.

Bring back vacuum tubes.
Solid State is the future for LENR just like it was for electronics for 50 years.

“The differential conductance of metal-insulator-metal devices increases
when they are joined with Casimir cavities. An imbalance in injection of
hot charge carriers from each side of the insulator is increased
with thinner cavities that suppress more quantum vacuum modes. The result
is an observed increase in conductance. Additional conductance changes,
with insulator thickness and other device parameters, are consistent with
an imbalance-induced injection of hot carriers. In addition to the
conductance changes, we observe anomalous offsets in the current and
voltage. We interpret the conductance changes in terms of del-E del-t
uncertainty-principle-like limit to the injection of hot carriers from
zero-point fluctuations.”
