Latest results on anomalous heat effect (AHE) by interaction of binary nano-composite metal powders and H (or D) gas, after the NEDO-MHE project (2015-2017), are reported in this paper. PNZ (Pd1Ni10/zirconia) and CNZ (Cu1Ni7/zirconia) powders by melt-spun and calcination methods were used, and were re-used by additional calcination.

80 to 400 W/kg level excess thermal power Wex of sustainable continuity for several weeks have been reproducibly observed at elevated temperature around 300 °C, by using re-calcined PNZ-type samples with D-gas, significantly in net D-gas desorption mode.

Specific reaction energy (η-value) per Dtransferred was very large as 100 eV/D to over 1000 eV/D. Very weak (0.1-0.2 n/J level) neutron emission looked correlating with the rise-up heat hump of thermal power after joule heating started. These results can be of the circumstantial nuclear signature of the AHE by the nano-metal D-gas interaction.

Data of 50 to 140 W/kg level excess thermal power was repeatedly obtained by CNZ-type samples with H-gas at elevated temperatures after the saturation of H-gas absorption (endothermic) by sample.

Excess thermal power of ca. 50 W continued for more than two weeks by 505 g CNZ7r (re-calcined) sample, with very strange behavior of the “cooled-flat and oscillating” TC4 RC upper flange temperatures (the effect has been investigated and concluded as a kind of turbulence gas-flow of up- and down-stream by strong local AHE). Big or small heat bursts were observed many times in the rise-up data after the start of external heating from room temperature.

The η-values were obtained to be so large as more than 10,000 eV/H-transfer for CNZ7r sample runs, implying nuclear effect.

Anomalous Heat Effect (AHE) is repeatable by the interaction of H (or D) gas and Ni-based nanocomposites metal powders. Reproducibility is established.

In the rise-up phase by external heating, large thermal power humps happened repeatedly after H (or D) desorption modes. Conditions to realize the apparent equilibrium pressure with maximum dynamic H (or D) gas flux in both direction of desorption and sorption on surface of nano-composite metal particle are considered to be of key factor. Higher temperature than 300 °C for RC with homogeneous gas feed is to be tested.

Updated No Internal Trolling Rules for FR per 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.

A lot is happening in the increasingly respectable LENR field. In addition to this conference in September, Andrea Rossi projects a November unveiling of his theory of LENR and a supposedly production ready ECAT device that will generate electricity and heat for relatively small inputs of electricity. In addition, Rossi is currently taking orders for a yet to be produced LENR consumer device that is said to generate a great deal of cheap, high quality light.

Even if both of Rossi's innovations comes to market, it still remains to be seen if the outputs will be reliable and at useful enough levels and forms to immediately command attention and purchases from both consumers and industrial customers. Yet, if Rossi does have useful devices on offer, he will revolutionize the field by triggering a massive rush of investment money and entrepreneurship and the energies of the physics community toward understanding the LENR phenomena.

There are also many indications of a high and sustained level of covert, black world interest in LENR and even more exotic technologies like space flight using antigravitics and other manipulations of space-time. We may be on the cusp of major technological revelations that impact national security in the way that stealth did.

"We may be on the cusp of major technological revelations that impact national security in the way that stealth did."

If LENR pans out as practical, it will make "stealth" look like a grain of sand next to a mountain.

Takahashi claims repeatability. Is there mention of other labs replicating??

[Kevmo]

This seems to be a replication of the NEDO-MHE project (2015-2017).

I was excited about Rossi about a decade ago. I posted from his blog for about 3 months and have been hounded about it for 10 years.

He’s a tinkerer trying to become a trillionaire and if he succeeds, that’s fine with me. But he is not a scientist. Scientists produce their findings for peer review. His objection to that is the others will steal his technology, which has some strong elements of truth to it.

His friend Dr. Focardi caught cancer. He wanted recognition for his earth-shattering work and asked Rossi to demo his device to the world. Rossi didn’t want to do it, but out of respect for his friend he generated demos with gaping holes in them which made people suspect fraud.

He came up with his own metric to measure him by: In Mercato Veritas. Since there has been nothing in mercato there is no veritas.

Excellent news. I look forward to the full papers from the presentations being published.

REPLICATE

anomalous heat generation experiments reported by Technova and the Kobe Univ. Group. In this paper, we present evidence of anomalous excess heat effects obtained from experiments at our laboratory at Tohoku University. Excess energy experiments were done using nano-sized metal composites with H 2 or D 2 gas.

Anomalous excess heat generation were observed for all the samples at elevated temperature (150-350 • C) except for the palladium nanoparticles embedded in mesoporous SiO 2 (PSn1). The amount of anomalous heat generation per hydrogen atom ranged from 15 eV/H or D to 2.1 keV/H or D, which is too much to be explained by any known chemical process.

Coincident burst events of pressure and gas temperature were observed for all the experiments using the CuNi 7 Zr 15-O x with H 2 gas, which suggested sudden energy releases in the reaction chamber. These observations suggest large local energy bursts.

Excess heat experiments using the same material at Kobe and Tohoku Universities showed similar experimental results. Qualitative reproducibility between the Kobe and Tohoku experiments was good.

As a rule, inventors are squirrelly, and Rossi is of the type. In Rossi's view, the world will not take LENR seriously until a practical device is produced, so peer review is a time-wasting trap that risks forfeiting professional credit and fortune. That is hard to argue with given what was done to Pons and Fleischman and other LENR pioneers by their scientific peers. They could not even get a fair hearing but were vilified and condemned as if they were medieval heretics.

Will Rossi bring practical LENR devices to market? I hope that he does. Entirely apart from the potential benefits of LENR technology, mainstream physics deserves a good comeuppance. They have been far too smug for too long.
