Direct Conversion Into Electricity: Replications Fabrice David, Laboratoire de Recherches Associatives, France E-mail: davidfa95130@orange.fr BP 4, 95131 Franconville cedex FRANCE The technology of "fusion diodes" was proposed several years ago to convert the energy of nuclear reactions taking place in condensed matter into electricity. For 4 years, positive results have been obtained by several teams and patents filed. The author summarizes this work and presents the results of his replication experiments.

Per nano ad astra..

“Recent research in Japan via long and careful experimentation, has proven that a major
“missing controlled parameter” in the decades now of previous LENR research is the
requirement for nano sized discrete surface morphology. As already noted, that enables
localized energy concentration by orders of magnitude. Major organizations (including Google)
are now conducting research aimed at understanding and sorting out sensitivities and
optimization. The major issues going forward include development of a viable, proven theory to
allow engineering, scaling, and safety. Given that, which at this point appears to be a work in
progress, much with regard to power and energy could change, for
climate/transportation/HVAC, energy costs overall, and in-space for propulsion, habs, ISRU, on
body transportation.

very interesting, possibly important, discovery.

in contrast, the ever-lying, despicable
USPTO [many belong in GITMO and Fiera del Fuego jails]
will make certain this (and other clean energy
inventions) goes to every ENEMY of America
and the US military.

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

This topic has a following, people who wish to learn and discuss the materials presented.

Please refrain from posting anything that doesn’t legitimately address the issue.

Something is going on in this segment of science. There are a considerable number of research groups studying the matter. -Sidebar Moderator

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.

It’s weird. There is no mention of Hagelstein’s invention of a solid state thermal diode.

1Abstract HelpNew Window
A solid-state energy converter with a semiconductor or semiconductor-metal implementation is provided for conversion of thermal energy to electric energy, or electric energy to refrigeration. In n-type heat-to-electricity embodiments, a highly doped n* emitter region made of a metal or semiconductor injects carriers into an n-type gap region. A p-type layer is positioned between the emitter region and gap region, allowing for discontinuity of corresponding Fermi-levels and forming a potential barrier to sort electrons by energy. Additional p-type layers can optionally be formed on the collector side of the converter. One type of these layers with higher carrier concentration (p*) serves as a blocking layer at the cold side of the converter, and another layer (p**) with carrier concentration close to the gap reduces a thermoelectric back flow component. Ohmic contacts on both sides of the device close the electrical circuit through an external load to convert heat to electricity. In the case of a refrigerator, the external load is substituted by an external power supply.

“fusion diodes”?

Well, that’s ONE WAY........................

[mo]

thank you for posting this..is there a better link to the article?

[Kevmo]

I posted the abstract, I posted the video, I posted the poster, I even converted the awkward poster into text. What you are looking at is absolutely the very best link to the article that exists at this time on the internet.

[Mr. K]

hee hee I get it

"The results obtained by his team are quite remarkable: they use a device consisting of a metal electrode coated with nanocrystalline palladium by the patented method of "co-deposition". "Co-deposition" consists of producing a layer of palladium highly charged with hydrogen or deuterium by electrolysis of a suitable solution of palladium salt, with a soluble palladium anode."

"Placed in an atmosphere of hydrogen, a copper electrode coated with palladium by co-deposition causes a voltage to appear in the presence of a metal counter electrode"

Interesting. This approach is one I have been advocating for a long time on Ecat World and elsewhere. Glad to see that someone has actually put it into practice.

"...is there a better link to the article?"

Conference proceedings. Full-text articles usually lag the links Kevmo posted by a bit.

[ckilmer]

So this report is about a better/accurate/reliable way to measure low heat signature reactions. Correct?

[blindsangamon]

LENR generates low-quality heat, of not much practical use. Tis discovery permits the direct conversion of LENR to electricity, at a fairly high conversion efficiency.

[ckilmer]

woah. that’s huge. huge as in the world changes if this pans out—especially if costs go way down. Civilization basically advances on ever lower energy costs.

thanks interpreting the article for me.

[ckilmer]

I’ve read in other venues that the problem with nuclear power plants is that they rely on 19th century technology—ie boilers — to convert electron scatter to heat to steam to drive turbines to make electricity. That 21st century technology will entail at some point directly converting electrons to electricity.

That will create electricity at prices much much lower than are currently available. That’s the big revolution.

[Kevmo]

As far as I can tell, throwing together palladium and hydrogen and copper delivers no known chemical reaction that generates electricity, right?

[Kevmo]

No, the significance is in a solid state device of hydrogen + copper +palladium which generates a Voltage.

At the very least it would be a new kind of chemical battery, but one with no presently known chemical pathway, and also could potentially last years.
