Anomalous production of electrical energy in room temperature reactors
Alan Smith Net Zero Scientific Ltd.
Some 200 years ago Edmund Becquerel discovered a new phenomenon, the photo-voltaic effect, a discovery that led eventually to the modern solar panel. A development curve that took 150 years.
Towards the end of the 19th century Heinrich Hertz and some contemporaries discovered and studied the photo-electric effect, the liberation of electrons from metal surfaces when exposed to light, and Peltier published his work on thermo-electricity.
Frank Gordon and Harper Whitehouse may have added another new chapter to this story when they discovered and developed a device they call the Lattice Energy Converter (LEC).
Many iterations of the LEC device have demonstrated the spontaneous production of voltage and current for sustained periods. The device offers unusual simplicity and remarkable replicability.
The current ‘best hypothesis’ is that a LEC converts the internal energy of gases like hydrogen or deuterium co-deposited with metals like iron, nickel, or palladium into ionizing radiation of some kind- and thus creates extractable electrical energy. Voltage and current increases with temperature, and the output is similar to that of a nuclear battery but without requiring normally radioactive components.
The energy levels produced by the LEC are at present several orders of magnitude below those deemed commercially useful, but, the calculated flux of ionizing radiation necessary to match LEC output using a conventional nuclear battery would require the use of several curies of radi. But as this paper explains, this is not an accepted form of galvanism or a conventional electro-chemical effect, but something different to either.

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. Such FReepers who persist in polluting these threads have been asked to leave, and we are asking that they open their own threads if they have comments.

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.

One curie reads one rem at one meter. Just a rule of thumb.
Hat tip to Albert Einstein for his ground breaking 1905 paper explaining the photoelectric effect; work that earned him the Nobel Prize in physics.

Correction: one curie reads one rem per hour at one meter. That’s a significant amount of radioactivity. A CT scan of the belly and pelvis delivers about 10 mSv or one rem of ionizing radiation.
Very cool! Thanks for posting this.
Do they ruin it
***Yes, they ruin it. For over a decade the seagulls engaged in gang trolling on these threads.
or add color to an otherwise bland scientific landscape?
***It’s pretty bland, no big deal. If they want to seagull on such threads they can open their own [they have] and enjoy themselves. Plenty of landscape on such threads. They try their best to make these threads look like there’s no science going on, that’s the aim... and it is unacceptable.
Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of scientific troubles.
***2b or not 2b.
Group trolling. I'd say that ruins it.
Their purpose is and has always been shutting down any threads on LENR.
Thanks, WW.
