Egeli - Design and Operation of Lenr Reactors George Egely Contrary to the general belief, LENR phenomenon is much richer than generally expected. Usually the electrochemical or hot nickel, hydrogen diffusion-based reactors are known. Most of the published test results are from this area. Even in this area there are less commonly known, smart reactor designs, like Matsumoto's flat bottom cathode, light water-based reactors, or Parkhomov's separate heater/diffusion chamber reactors. Some of these reactors are discussed. The other major group is the dust-based, oscillating plasma reactors. In fact, this is the most important, most frequent form of LENR in...

Alexandrov - Cold nuclear fusion reaction in interaction of deuterium gas with molybdenum Dimiter Alexandrov, Robert Dubreuil Lakehead University, Canada Email: dimiter.alexandrov@lakeheadu.ca Experiments about interaction of deuterium gas with molybdenum specimen giving cold nuclear fusion reaction outcomes have been performed. The results are presented in this paper. The experiments were performed in vacuum chamber in order for precise measurements to be achieved. Also due to the relatively low concentrations of the interacting gas, the amounts of the generated cold nuclear fusion products and of the generated energy (heat) were relatively low. D2 gas in an environment of H/H2 gas...

Collis - Exotic Neutral Particles as a comprehensive explanation for CMNS Bill Collis, billcollis (at) iscmns.org This paper explains anomalies in hydrogen loaded metals in terms of catalytic neutron transfer by Exotic Neutral Particles (ENPs) by making radical innovations to the models of Bazhutov and Fisher, simplifying their assumptions while simultaneously improving the match with observation. It is shown how penetrating radiation is rarely produced and evidence is offered showing new interpretations of Q/4He, tritium and neutrons. Excess heat production without penetrating radiation is explained in the Ni/H, Ti/D, Pd/D, Li2SO4. Conversely observed radiation from Cl and Rb is...

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...

- Direct electrical power generation with palladium and iron in a hydrogen atmosphere Jean-Paul Biberian Aix-Marseille University, France Following the pioneering work of Frank Gordon and Harper Whitehouse on Lattice Energy Conversion, I have duplicated some of their work. By electrodepositing palladium with PdBr2 on a Pd/Ag 2mm in diameter and 10cm long rod, a voltage of several hundred millivolts was generated between the Pd rod and the stainless-steel counter electrode in a hydrogen atmosphere. To increase the current, experiments were performed with palladium deposited on stainless-steel tubes 30mm in diameter and 20cm long, the counter electrode being also...

Czerski1 1 Institute of Physics, University of Szczecin, Szczecin, Poland 2Maritime University of Szczecin, Szczecin, Poland Low energy nuclear reactions are of great importance for the future development of clean, save and very efficient energy sources. Hydrogen loaded metallic structures can play here a crucial role for the advantageous conditions in which the energy can be easily produced at room temperature during nuclear fusion. At very low energies, the electron screening effect causes an exponential like enhancement of the nuclear reaction cross...

Phonon Assisted Fusion Dana Seccombe Tactyx, USA seccombe@alum.mit.edu This paper continues and expands upon a paper presented at ICCF-22 related to phonon assisted fusion. The overall thesis is that there exist sparsely occupied “nearly free” deuteron states which are modelled similarly to nearly free electrons in traditional solid state physics. These states are occupied in the range of 10-4 , depending on D doping and lattice temperature. The probability amplitude of the states is largest in regions other than where Pd and bound are. The charge of nearly free D’s, whose spatial extent is in the range of .4...

Where and How LENR Occur E-mail: nagel@gwu.edu The occurrence of LENR involves two separate considerations: (1) the location where reactants come together, and (2) the mechanism by which the nuclear reactions occur. Understanding, and also the practical reproducibility and control of LENR, require attention to both where and how LENR happen. Where: The locations and conditions needed for production of LENR, what Storms called the Nuclear Active Environment (NAE) [1], have received much attention over the decades. Both the interior and surfaces of materials have been considered, with frequent attention to defects. The interiors of real lattices range from...

Artificial radioactivity in the nonequlibrium plasma of the glow discharge in Pd-D and Ni-H from the point of view of nuclear-chemical reactions It is shown that artificial radioactivity can be initiated in conditions of nonequlibrium plasma glow discharge. The analysis of the isotope and elemental composition in the near-surface layers of Pd and Ni, the original and after 40-hour exposure in deuterium- or protium containing plasma by the IСP mass spectrometry (IСP-MS) has revealed significant changes in isotope composition of impurity elements. Significant reduction in Pt and Pb impurities in Pd-D systems in times have been found. In addition,...

Progress of Reproducing the Mizuno’s Experiment in QiuRan Lab Hang Zhang and Si Chen Email: 715469127@qq.com The objective of this study was to independently reproduce Mizuno’s experiment. We replicated the D2(H2)-Pd(Ni) reaction system reported in the literature[1]. On the other hand, we developed a different calorimetric system employing two calorimeters to measure the heat generated by the reaction system. One is a Seebeck calorimeter and the other is based on the hydrothermal temperature difference. We improved the reliability of the Seebeck so that it achieves 0.1W accuracy consistently. We operated the D2(H2)-Pd(Ni) reaction system at different conditions. The following...
