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;...

HuangC: Temperature Dependence of Maximum Excess Power in 3 New Experiments (Letts, Parkhomov, & Mizuno) S.X. Zheng* , G.S .Huang, Z.M. Dong, C.L .Liang, B. Liu, S. Chen, J. Tian, X.Z. Li *Dept. of Engineering Physics & Dept. of Physics, Tsinghua University, Beijing CHINA At ICCF-21, the resonant surface capture model was proposed to relate the inelastic process (Excess heat) to the elastic process (Diffusion); then, we are able to derive the straight line behavior in the semi-logarithmic plot. Three sets of experimental data supported this model as Fig.1 (Ed. Storms, M. Fleischman, and Tsinghua Univ.). After ICCF-21, three new...

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...

Narita: Investigating Thermal Behavior of Pd Foil Coated with Metal Membrane in Deuterium Diffusion Poster # S. Narita, M. Endo, S. Kikuchi, K. Negishi, K. Ota Iwate University, Morioka, Japan E-mail: narita@iwate-u.ac.jp It has been reported that anomalous excess heat generation have been observed when charging deuterium into nano-composite Pd-Ni supported by ZrO2 [1,2]. It is supposed to be difficult to explain the phenomena by known chemical processes, which could potentially be attributed to specific characteristics of deuterium diffusion in the metal complex, as well as the nano-sized fine structure of the sample. Yamaguchi et al. observed excess heat and...

Hatt: Cold Nuclear Transmutations Light Atomic Nuclei Binding Energy Oral and Poster Philippe Hatt, independent researcher Email: pcf.hatt@gmail.com Several authors predict that α particle structures could be present in atomic nuclei. Convincing arguments of such structures are provided by systematics of the binding energies of the even-even nuclei with equal number of protons and neutrons. In that hypothesis, it is necessary to consider the binding energy of α particle as well as the binding energy between several α particles in order to determine the binding energy of a given nucleus. The kind of binding energy existing within each α particle...

Bowen: Primary and Secondary Reactions in a LENR with a Li Electrolyte Solution N. L. Bowen Colorado Mountain College, Glenwood Springs, Colorado, USA nbowen@coloradomtn.edu Conventional nuclear physicists claim that low energy nuclear reactions cannot exist because:  Too much 4He is produced, according to the reaction probabilities of a 2D(2D, γ) 4He reaction.  The gamma radiation from the reactor is too small for the reactions that should be occurring.  The ratio of excess energy to 4He production is smaller than it should be.  There are no neutrons coming out of the apparatus. This paper will address those...

In metals, electrons are normally expected to be diffusive in their movement, operating as individual particles – in other words, they don't gain momentum as a group. In a new study, scientists have now discovered a type of metal where electrons actually do flow in a fluid-like way – like water in a pipe – by interacting with quasiparticles called phonons, which emerge from vibrations in a crystal structure. This causes the electrons to shift from diffusive (particle-like) to hydrodynamic (fluid-like) behavior in their movement. The metal superconductor that causes this behavior is a synthesis of niobium and germanium called...

Klimov: Power Balance in Water Plasma Reactor Klimov A., Belov N., Klimova T., Temirbulatov V., Tolkunov B. Technical State University “ MPEI”, Russia, Moscow, 111250, Krasnokazarmennaya str. 14 klimov.anatoly@gmail.com Physical parameters and characteristics of a heterogeneous plasmoid (HP) created by pulse repetitive discharge in a water plasma reactor (PVR) have been considered in our previous works [1-3]. This work is continuation of the previous one. It was revealed that there is a large extra-power release in the HP in water at metal nano-cluster- hydrogen atom interaction (products of water molecule’s dissociation and cathode’s erosion). This thermal power was much higher...

Kovacs: The Zitterbewegung Orbit of Electrons Andras Kovacs Email: andras.kovacs@broadbit.com At ICCF-21, I presented experimental data [1] pointing to the existence of a close-proximity electronnucleus configuration, which catalyzes nuclear reactions by effectively shielding the proton’s or deuteron’s electric charge. The experimental support for such electron state is strong, but its theory has been lacking. Several researchers put forward theories of a close-proximity electronnucleus configuration, referring to “deep electron orbit”, “Rydberg hydrogen”, etc. However, these preceding theories did not quantitatively account for all observed experimental data, and there was no specific guidance for experimental reactor designs. This presentation discusses the physics...

Jaitner: Condensed Plasmoids – The Nuclear Active Environment in LENR Oral & Poster Lutz Jaitner, lutz.jaitner t-online de, www.condensed-plasmoids.com LENR research was puzzled for a long time by the basic questions: How can nuclei fuse at low temperature? Why is the observed excess heat not accompanied with gamma radiation? Why is LENR producing helium-4 from deuterium, whereas D-D hot fusion is mainly producing helium-3, tritium and neutrons? How can LENR be technically optimized for commercial use? To answer these questions, the author has built a quantum-mechanical model of the nuclear active environment in LENR. This environment is an ultra-dense plasmoid,...

Uchikoshi: Laser Condensed-Matter Fusion Experiments. Oral and Poster Takeru Uchikoshi, Shunsuke Ono, Yuki Nakashima, Yuta Kitagawa, Katsuaki Tanabe* Department of Chemical Engineering, Kyoto University, Japan * Email: 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 [1,2]. In another project, we experimentally observed temporal behaviors of heat generation unable to...

Metzler: Observations of delocalized gamma emission from Co-57/Fe-57 samples during application of mechanical stress Florian Metzler Energy Production and Conversion Group, MIT Research Laboratory of Electronics The research presented is motivated by a host of experimental reports where radiation is observed but not conventionally expected and others where radiation is not observed but conventionally expected. Such reports raise questions about mechanisms for energy transfer into and out of atomic nuclei. Our group has pursued theoretical and experimental work to investigate the possibility of energy transfer into and out of atomic nuclei aided by the surrounding lattice. Here, we report on...

Hagelstein: HD/He-3 phonon-nuclear coupling matrix element Peter Hagelstein Energy Production and Conversion Group, MIT Research Laboratory of Electronics We have recently worked on the calculation of the phonon-nuclear coupling matrix element for the HD/He-3 transition. This matrix element is important in connection with excess heat in light water reactions, as well as low-energy nuclear emission in experiments with hydrogen (and some deuterium). It is also one of the simplest to analyze with nuclear models. We have developed a reduction of the relativistic boost interaction for the lowest order meson exchange potential based on pseudoscalar and pseudovector interactions. The pseudoscalar interaction...
