Anomalous Enhancement of Three-Body Deuteron Fusion in Titanium-Deuteride with Low-Energy D+ Beam Implantation Akito Takahashi,Katsuhiko Maruta,Kentaro Ochiai,Hiroyuki Miyamaru &Toshiyuki Iida Pages 256-272 | Published online: 09 May 2017 Download citation https://doi.org/10.13182/FST98-A70 Abstract Anomalous enhancement of three-body deuteron fusion reactions was observed by low-energy D+ ion beam implantation experiment with titanium-deuteride (TiDx: x = 1.4) using a δE-E charged-particle spectrometer. The enhancement ratio was ~10^26, compared with the traditional theory estimation for a beam/target interaction of the random nuclear reaction process. Two characteristic charged particles of 4.75-MeV helium (3He) and 4.75-MeV triton from the reaction channel of 3D → t +...

Early Excess Power Using NRL Pd-B Cathodes Melvin H. Miles College of Science and Technology, Dixie State University St. George, Utah 84770 (USA) Email: mhmiles1937@gmail.com The excess power in cold fusion experiments appears unusually early for Pd-B cathodes prepared by NRL (U.S. Naval Research Laboratory). This early excess power may exceed 100 mW and can be measurable within minutes of the start of the D2O + LiOD electrolysis. This effect readily exceeds the maximum possible excess power for deuterium loading into the palladium. This unusual early excess power effect was first noted by Martin Fleischmann in his analysis of the...

Input Stimuli and Output Signals in LENR Experiments David J. Nagel The George Washington University USA E-mail: nagel@gwu.edu Over the decades, a wide variety of stimuli have been put into, and diverse signals have been measured from LENR experiments. The available empirical results raise two kinds of questions: (1) of all the published effects, which might be most valuable to emphasize in future experiments, and (2) what other stimuli or signals might be used to further the understanding and commercialization of LENR? This paper addresses these questions using the organization shown in this figure. Both productive past experiments and attractive...

Plasmonic Condensed Matter Nuclear Fusion Katsuaki Tanabe Kyoto University, Japan E-mail: tanabe@cheme.kyoto-u.ac.jp The intensity and density of the triggering energy supplied to activate the nuclear fusion reaction are key factors to produce a smooth and reproducible initiation of the reaction. We previously proposed and numerically analyzed a scheme to provide high-density optical or electromagnetic energy to fusion-fuel materials by lasers and plasmonic field-enhancement effects, to significantly increase the reaction probability [1–6]. Large degrees of field enhancements, or energy focusing, were observed around metal nanoparticles and nanoshells [1], planar metal surfaces [2,3], metal/oxide interfaces [5], sharp metal tips [4], and metal...

A Lattice Energy Converter Frank E. Gordon* and Harper J. Whitehouse E-mail: feg@inovl.com As previously reported, a Lattice Energy Converter is capable of spontaneous-initiation and self-sustained production of ionizing radiation and the conduction of electricity from a specially prepared palladium electrode that is occluded with hydrogen without the use of naturally radioactive materials. While the LEC is relatively simple to construct and the experimental results have been replicated, the underlying processes are complex. In this paper, we will present experimental results along with analysis based on more than 150 years of research into the metal-hydride system and more than 120...

Conventional Fusion in an Unconventional Place #Lawrence P. Forsley1 , Pamela A. Mosier-Boss1 1 Global Energy Corporation, United States E-mail: lawrence.p.forsley@nasa.gov Although hot fusion research began 70+ years ago, great technical difficulties exist in bringing fusion to commercial fruition. Consequently, there is a need for alternative approaches other than thermonuclear D-T fusion[1]. These approaches range from beam and muon-catalyzed fusion (with unlikely energy gain), to proton boron-11 fusion [2] (with high bremsstrahlung energy losses), to the less understood condensed matter nuclear reactions aka Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR). This talk will contrast the hot fusion triple-product[4] with the condensed matter...

US Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) to hold LENR Workshop: https://arpa-e.energy.gov/events/low-energy-nuclear-reactions-workshop Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions Workshop October 21-22, 2021 The objective of this workshop is to explore compelling R&D opportunities in Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR) [1], in support of developing metrics for a potential ARPA-E R&D program in LENR. Despite a large body of empirical evidence for LENR that has been reported internationally over the past 30+ years in both published and unpublished materials, as well as multiple books, there still does not exist a widely accepted, on-demand, repeatable LENR experiment nor a sound theoretical basis. This has...

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...

Vysotskii: Anomalous LENR effects and its justification based on the method of coherent correlated states Vladimir Vysotskii , Mykhaylo Vysotskyy Kiev National Shevchenko University, Ukraine; e-mail: vivysotskii@gmail.com A number of successful LENR experiments in a few last years and their qualified independent analysis (e.g., Lugano expertise 2014) confirm a high efficiency of low-energy reactions without any exotic optimization methods and simultaneously indicate the necessity of the development of their adequate theoretical model. This model should justify the efficiency of these reactions and explain a number of anomalies observed in such reactions: a) very large probability at low energies of particles;...

A team of physicists at CU Boulder has solved the mystery behind a perplexing phenomenon in the nano realm: why some ultra-small heat sources cool down faster if you pack them closer together. The findings, which will publish this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), could one day help the tech industry design speedier electronic devices that overheat less. “Often heat is a challenging consideration in designing electronics. You build a device then discover that it’s heating up faster than desired,” said study co-author Joshua Knobloch, postdoctoral research associate at JILA, a joint research...
