LENR evidence with hydrogen and deuterium loading in thin palladium films

I like this Mastromatteo guy. A few years back he took a group of Italian HIGH SCHOOL students through a project where they generated a LENR box.

Sounds like a chemical reaction.

[DannyTN]

Where did I put that Palladium?

[Kevmo]

There are known chemical reaction pathways. The heat being generated is quite a bit in excess of known chemical pathways — that’s why they regularly call it “Excess Heat”.

[algore]

I understand, but there are also unknown chemical pathways.

Palladium is an extremely catalytic metal especially when hydrogen is involved

[Steely Tom]

It’s a nuclear reaction mediated (facilitated, or catalyzed) by chemical effects. That’s what makes it so interesting, at a scientific level (I mean, putting aside the commercial implications).

[alloysteel]

Dilithium crystals....

[Kevmo]

How do you know there are unknown chemical pathways? That is a bold statement that the pre-eminent 100 or so electrochemists of Pons & Fleishmann’s day were reluctant to put forward.

If it IS a bunch of new chemistry then it makes GIGANTIC sense to look into this branch and harness that chemistry rather than having treated the whole field as pariah for 3 decades.

Not feasible, palladium has sky rocketed to over $2K an ounce….your better move, nickel, as in pocket change….remember when a decade ago the nickel shortages? A US nickel was worth 9 cents in content….

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.

"The laboratory is equipped with instrumentation suitable for the detection of neutron and gamma emissions with a He3 detector and a multi-channel detector with a 3-inch NaI crystal. All the experiments carried out have been monitored with these instruments and in many cases it has been possible to detect neutron emissions attributable to nuclear events inside the reactor. Some of these anomalous events were short-lived, others were prolonged for several minutes."

"Unknown chemical reactions" don't result in gamma and neutron emissions.

Hydrogen is cheap. Palladium is pretty expensive to get.

A US nickel today is worth 6 cents. $8.90 a pound and rising….copper close to $5 a pound….a pre 82 penny ( copper), is worth almost 3 cents…
With inflation hitting us, I DO expect our coinage to be further debased or discontinued….most don’t realize our post 82 pennies are only copper coated zinc, and.most don’t realize what history teaches us- debasement of our coinage ( and currencies) ALWAYS leads to the nations fall. Roman emperors started reducing PM coin content ( making gold coinage 70 percent gold, then 50 percent, silver 90 percent, then 50 percent, then 40 percent, then 30 percent, then base metal, then NO coinage)…

There are some experimentalists attaining LENR level of excess heat in Nickel and other substrates.

Today’s spot price for palladium…$2,600 ounce…..and I remember in 2001 or so, it was $4 an ounce…..I passed on palladium rounds thinking it was just a fad….

Hi.

Now put the invention into a car.

Preferably a Mustang.
