Alexandrov: Cold nuclear fusion in lithium compound alloy
Dimiter Alexandrov Lakehead University, Canada Email: dimiter.alexandrov@lakeheadu.ca
Experiments about cold nuclear fusion reactions in lithium compound alloy have been performed and explained theoretically. The results are presented in this paper.
The experiments were performed in vacuum chamber in order precise measurements to be achieved and due to the relatively low concentrations of the interacting gases the amounts of the generated helium and of the generated energy (heat) were relatively low. In fact D2 gas in environment of H/H2 gas in the chamber was directed to a specimen of lithium compound alloy placed on sample holder and significant generation of both 3He and 4He was observed in all experiments as it was supported by the following facts:
i) Mass analysis shows relatively high amount of 3He;
ii) Mass analysis shows relatively high amount of 4He/D2 and relatively significant amount of 4HeH that confirms relatively high amount of 4He;
iii) Mass analysis shows absence of H3+ (stable positive ion of three hydrogen molecule), DH (deuterium hydride) and D2H+ (stable positive ion of deuterium-deuterium hydride molecule); and iv) DC plasma spectroscopy shows peaks typical for both 3He and 4He.
Based on the experiments it was concluded that the following cold nuclear fusion reactions have had place:
D + D → 3He + n + energy (1)
D + D → 4He + energy (2)
Where n is neuron released in a cold nuclear fusion reaction (1).
Also the author assumes that the released neutrons may cause nuclear fission reaction where lithium atoms of 6Li belonging to the crystal lattice of the lithium compound alloy participate. However the Author considers that additional experiments must be performed in order the above nuclear fission reaction to be confirmed.
The temperature of the sample holder was measured during the experiments and cyclic dependence on the time was found and also it was fond that this dependence correlates with changes in the amounts of both 3He and 4He in the time. In some experiments external heating of the sample holder was performed and it was found increase of the amounts of both 3He and 4He with increase of the temperature.
Radiation (including gamma rays and neutrons) was measured in all experiments and no increase of the radiation above the normal background was found. Absence of increase of the radiation is due to either:
a) The low amounts of gases used in all experiments give a radiation, which is very small and cannot be detected by the used devices; or
b) These is no external radiation at all due to the low kinetic energies of the interacting D nuclei in solids and due to a fact that the released neutrons in (1) do not leave the solid.
The experimental results provided above are explained with a previously developed quantum mechanical theory based on interaction of D nuclei with heavy electrons that are localized in solids. The theoretical outcomes are consistent with the above experimental results and they provide proof that two nuclear fusion schemes in the lithium compound alloy specimen have places:
i) D+D→3He+n+energy; and
ii) D+D→4He+energy.
Also the theory explains increase of the amounts of both 3He and 4He with increase of the temperature of the specimen.
The theory is valid for all solids, however it determines that the above nuclear fusion reactions can have places only in solids having certain properties as the lithium compound alloy is a solid satisfying these requirements and the released helium is much bigger than in similar experiments using others solids (including palladium).

Does this have anything to do with the dilithium crystals that power the Starship Enterprise?
Say, isn’t Lithium the element environmentalists want everyone to stop digging up?
No that is matter Anti— matter. You need the rarer Dilithium for that to work.
The environmentalists ( watermelons) have lithium on their brains.
Lithium...hit song by Nirvana...?
...or, why Sleepy Joe handed over Afghanistan to the Taliban and the ChiComs...?
The chemical/nuclear reactions in i and ii are not balanced. Why not?
So when the electric car nuts dig up all the lithium for batteries it ruins the potential for fusion power plants??!!!
NASA has been working on LENR using Lithium

I dunno. Why do they need to be balanced? It’s a synopsis.

Something is going on in this segment of science. There are a considerable number of research groups studying the matter. -Sidebar Moderator
Balanced equations are more professional- Lend more credibility.
You’re probably right, but keep in mind this is just the synopsis.
Please review what it says on the ping list invite. We do not like tag-team snidetrolling and threadjacking on these LENR topics.

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.
If I had Bezos’s money I’d heavily fund cold fusion and high temperature super-conductivity research.
I would also fund boundary layer control for aerodynamics, electrogravitics to a lesser extent — it’s very expensive, and I would fund missionaries to the last people-groups who have not yet heard the gospel [very few of those remaining].
I would invest in shipbuilding because the super-wealthy, then the kinda-wealthy want to retire onto cruise ships.
I would start my own country somewhere.
Peter Hagelstein appears with Alexandrov on stage and asks him a question.
They look balanced to me.
