A Game-Changing Power Source Based on Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENRs)

“Pd rich nanoparticles”

If this thing works, I’d like to know how much the costs are to produce these nanoparticles. Also, are they consumed in the reaction, and if so, how much energy is produced before they are used up vs the cost to produce them. That factor needs to be taken into account, otherwise they could be hiding something that makes their reaction less effecient than it appears.

Miley has published his work on the calorimetry, and LOD and precision "are" impressive.

Do you have a link to that?

It was the author that raised Rossi’s name and his device. Whether a different fuel or not...who knows? How many different formulations have been thoroughly examined?

It's still hype and hot air since there's lots of claims but little proof. All these great game changing successes are claimed, so put the thing together and let's see it work. Where's my Lenny Lenr Hot water Heater and Power Source?

Being newer to FR does not negate my many years working in the field. I have read the paper. I have read ever paper that has been published on the various efforts to produce ‘cold fusion’. You can chide me for being politically uninterested until recently but I have taken appropriate action on that front...which is why I joined FR. Bleech on your so called science argument since you know nothing of my background.

In case you failed to notice, this posting is NOT about Rossi's e-cat. This is referring to a completely different researcher,

Who mentions Rossi and his Scam-cat in the second sentence.

Note that Miley also says that his research HAS BEEN VERIFIED, though the abstract doesn't reference by whom.

So we've gone from "Rossi says" to "Miley says."

"If this thing works, I’d like to know how much the costs are to produce these nanoparticles. Also, are they consumed in the reaction, and if so, how much energy is produced before they are used up vs the cost to produce them. That factor needs to be taken into account, otherwise they could be hiding something that makes their reaction less effecient than it appears."

Right now, quite expensive, as the fuel is custom-fabricated in small batches. But one of the major advantages of the type of fuel Miley and his collaborators are that only a tiny fraction of the fuel is "nuclearly active" (Palladium or nickel), with the rest of the lattice comprised a zirconium oxide ceramic "skeleton". In the case of Palladium, it is NOT consumed, but only provides a mechanism (whatever that might be) for the deuterium atoms to react. In the case of Nickel, the nickel "is" consumed, but only in minute amounts.

The other advantage of Miley/Arata's fuel is that it "should" allow much higher operating temperatures than a metallic nickel nanopowder substrate as used by Rossi, Defkalion, and Piantelli.

I doubt that it will cost any more than fuel elements for, say, a fission reactor.

"Do you have a link to that?"

Nope. Read it, but I don't keep a catalog of links just to answer folks too lazy to look things up themselves. It was either in the Library section of LENR/CANR.org, or in the published proceedings of the CF conference recently held in Italy.

"It was the author that raised Rossi’s name and his device. Whether a different fuel or not...who knows? How many different formulations have been thoroughly examined?"

Well, I suspect Miley knows, for one. Will there be more and better combinations?? Almost certainly. But I think the Arata/Miley fuel approach will, in the long run, prove superior to metallic nickel nanopowder.

"It's still hype and hot air since there's lots of claims but little proof. All these great game changing successes are claimed, so put the thing together and let's see it work"

You skeptopaths are SUCH hypocrites. You criticize Rossi for not producing scientifically validated laboratory data, and you criticize Miley for not having a working mega-reactor.

"Being newer to FR does not negate my many years working in the field. I have read the paper. I have read ever paper that has been published on the various efforts to produce ‘cold fusion’."

Then you should be able to tell us, in detail, with references, why all those peer-reviewed papers from dozens of credible researchers are all wrong.

"You can chide me for being politically uninterested until recently but I have taken appropriate action on that front...which is why I joined FR. Bleech on your so called science argument since you know nothing of my background.

So, lay out your credentials. But I doubt that you will. My guess is that you're like all the rest of the skeptopaths that infest this and any other forum that dares to mention LANR in any fashion other than derogatory....critical of the technology without having studied it, and, in fact, actually REFUSING to look at the data.

You may not have a life but I do. I work in the field and spend more than enough of my time discussing all sorts of ideas, theories, possibilities, and things that actually work.

I do not have to prove to you or anyone else anything. The fact that you are derisive to even the simple suggestion that heat does not necessarily precede work is sufficient for me to know with whom I am dealing.

Good luck on your future enthusiasm. I hope you don’t have money invested

Thanks for the ping.

Wonder Warthog said: "Read it, but I don't keep a catalog of links just to answer folks too lazy to look things up themselves."

Perhaps then you could just summarize how you concluded that .07% precision was achieved.

Rapidly you backtrack when your credentials are called into question, when it was You who claimed to have the credentials in the first place.

Put up or shut up.

Natural radioactivity leads to slow transmutation of elements.

LENR appars to be rapid nanoscale transmutation of elements which sounds like BS.

Non-radioactive source nuclear reactions that produce no detectable radiation, not even x-rays, sound like hogwash.
Fission can occur if concentrated n slow/n fast/hi v P+`s hit the fissionable target.
Fusion can be achieved by jamming two pieces of peanut butter into a cohesive nut between 128 slices of a laser beam.

LENR appears to be the only non-fusion, non-fission reaction wherein the observing researchers can stand within inches and absorb zero rems.
Never heard of a nuclear reaction with polite radiation.

It`a all BS.
I`m from Missouri- show me the before and after ``transmutated`` elements.

Alchemists claimed the same thing 800 years ago.

Interesting. I recently watched a video of researchers from the University of Nottingham, who have developed a method of producing metal nanoparticles using supercritical water in a setup that can produce them continuously, rather than in batches. If they can adapt that kind of technology to these specific type of particles, the process could be streamlined.

Both Miley and Rossi have said that the research has been done and that a commercial device is on it's way.
Well and good. Show us the much touted, paradigm overturning, world changing, etc. device.
A shipping container full of parts sitting in a warehouse and a very professional PowerPoint presentation doesn't seem to have generated much more than breathless announcements of minor importance.

Abstract Reading this translation and compilation of a number of Prof. Louis Kervran?s pre-1970 works is very
disturbing, producing the disorientation that accompanies a possible deep paradigm shift in science.
Kervran (1901-1983), a medical scientist and engineer with a high official position in the French
research and occupational health community, had a life-long interest in the possibility of
biological transmutations. His curiosity apparently began in his youth when he watched the hens
pecking at specks of mica in the farmyard. His later professional observations concerned (in one
small part) the anomalous reappearance of robust calcium-bearing eggshells in calcium-deprived
chickens that had been administered dietary mica (a potassium-rich mineral). Over a century earlier
(in 1799), French chemist Louis Nicolas Vauquelin had noted this. The Kervran bio-transmutation
story and its background is summarized eloquently in "Alchemists in the Garden," a chapter
of the best-selling book The Secret Life of Plants by Peter Tompkins and the late Christopher Bird.

Abstract Abstract
The possibility of using of cold fusion for nuclear waste products transmutation is investigated in
this paper. In generally a method is based on saturation of the titanium by a mixture of deuterium
and air. Possible nuclear fusion reactions are discussed. Their "burning out" sections,
effective half-life periods and intensity of neutron beams are evaluated. Applicability of the
method for a transmutation of the nuclear waste containing Cesium -137 is considered.

Abstract The MHI claim to transmute elements upon permeation of deuterium though a specific multilayer
structure was carefully evaluated. Initially, an attempt was made to replicate the work at NRL in
collaboration with MHI. When replication proved difficult, another set of experiments were conducted
at MHI in three sets consisting of two control blanks and one positive foil (that should have
transmuted Cesium to Praseodymium) per set. Foil samples were split for analysis at both NRL and
MHI. Extensive analytical work was performed to characterize the foils and the blanks. When
extracted at MHI, low nanogram amounts of Pr were found by ICP-MS on 3 of 3 foils that should have
had Pr whereas the 6 controls were blank. Split solutions of these extracts were also tested
independently at NRL and the presence of Pr was confirmed. The Pr found did not have the
characteristic rare earth contamination expected if the Pr was from the environment and thus looked
like it was produced in the experiment. Unfortunately, we could not find Pr at NRL (even at trace
levels) on our split foil samples no matter what extraction method was employed. After considering
and evaluating several unlikely scenarios for these disparate results, we visited MHI and
participated in the extraction process on new foils. These extracts were blank when tested at both
laboratories. Environmental samples were obtained at various locations where samples were handled.
Pr was found in large amounts at one location used in sample preparation and this Pr had the
signature of pure material rather than an inadvertent contaminate. No record of how it got there
could be established. Other rare and characteristic impurities also were found in the extracts from
MHI that were present in the laboratory environment. Thus, we concluded that the transmutation of Cs
to Pr when deuterium permeated MHI?s multilayer structure could not be firmly established, as
contamination during the foil production or during the foil analysis could not be ruled-out. The
design of the replication experiments, the lessons learned, and the results will be discussed.

Abstract Eight or 9 groups of researchers have reported that transmutation experiments are associated with
the emission of anomalous objects that cause anomalous markings. Since the year 2000, Urutskoev et
al., Savvatimova, Ivoilov, and Adamenko have published similar results, and several scientists are
speculating that these emitted objects are Lochak monopoles. Plastic targets like CR-39 and nuclear
emulsions of various kinds are used by researchers as a way to detect various particles and objects,
and people are finding anomalous markings on their detectors and on their electrodes. Before them,
Matsumoto, Shoulders and I reported finding similar markings in transmutation experiments. I found
such markings on the components of an electrolysis cell [1]. I hypothesized that microscopic ball
lightning is produced in transmutation experiments. Matsumoto accepted this idea when I told him,
and Savvatimova and Urutskoev acknowledge that they have found tracks similar to those in the
photographs published by Matsumoto [2, 3]. Their transmutation results are similar also. During this
decade, several groups investigated these objects that evidence the characteristics and behavior of
ball lightning.

Abstract Synopsis

Nuclear transmutations (NT?s) and exotic surface topography observed in the surface layers of
cathodes in electrolytic experiments by J. Dash et al. over the last ten years have been analyzed
using the TNCF model. Surface topographies of the cathodes showed characteristic fine structures
where the results of nuclear transmutation (NT) were detected. Nuclear transmutations, characterized
by their locality, are accompanied by excess heat generation, which suggests a nuclear origin. The
products of nuclear transmutation are explained either by decay of excited cathode element nuclei to
form an element of higher mass number than the original (nuclear transmutation by decay, or NTD) or
by fission of these nuclei (nuclear transmutation by fission, or NTF). The model was successfully
used to analyze two cases of quantitative changes of isotope ratios in Ti and Pd cathodes and the
surface topography change. . . .

developed to provide possible mechanisms for the LENR and LETR processes in matters based on
high-density nano-scale and micro-scale quantum plasmas.? It is shown that recently developed

Abstract We have been studying low energy nuclear transmutations induced by D2 gas permeation
through Pd complexes (Pd/CaO/Pd). We presented experimental results at ICCF9 and
ICCF101-3. In this paper, we report recent progress. Transmutations of Ba into Sm were
observed in two cases: with natural Ba on Pd complex samples (a definite result), and with mass
137-enriched Ba (probable). In these experiments, the atomic mass increase was 12 and atomic number
increase was 6. One of our experimental apparatuses was carried to SPring-8, which is the world?s
largest synchrotron radiation facility, located at Hyogo prefecture in Japan. Pr was confirmed
several times by XRF at SPring-8. Some experiments were done to explore physical structure of the
CaO layer. According to a D+ ion beam bombardment experiment performed at Tohoku University, the
deuterium density of our Pd complex is one order larger than normal Pd. When we replaced CaO with
MgO, we did not obtain any positive results. These results shed light on the role of the CaO layer
in the Pd complex.

Abstract Until 1989 I had been a publisher of high temperature physical chemistry, electrochemical and
environmental research papers.? ?I was a physical chemist and my contact with nuclear chemistry was
only in using it in some tracer techniques.
The Fleischmann and Pons announcement of March 1989 was of interest partly because of its radical
nature, but also because I had known Martin Fleischmann since his days as a student at the Imperial
College of Science and Technology in London.
I had easy access to Fleischmann and I therefore could instruct my co-workers (about 20 at the time)
about the technique used in the Fleischmann and Pons work.

Abstract Nuclear transmutations have been reported to occur in matrices subjected to either electrochemical
or gas loading at room temperature. To overcome the difficulties of the large Coulomb repulsion
among nuclei a γ-ray electromagnetic field appears? as a suitable agent. It is discussed
whether this e.m. excitation could emerge from cold fusion processes and induce nuclear reactions
through the giant resonance coupling of this e.m. field with the closed shells present in the nuclei
of the matrix.

Abstract Observations of low energy nuclear reactions induced by D2 gas permeation through Pd
complexes (Pd/CaO/Pd) were presented at ICCF-9 and in a paper published in the Japanese
Journal of Applied Physics (JJAP). When Cs was added on the surface of a Pd complex, Pr emerged on
the surface while Cs decreased after the Pd complex was subjected to D2 gas permeation.
When Sr was added to the surface, Mo emerged while the Sr decreased after D2 gas
permeation. The isotopic composition of the detected Mo was different from the natural abundance.
In this paper, recent progress of our research is described. The detected Pr was confirmed by
various methods such as TOF-SIMS, XANES, X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry and ICP-MS. Analysis of the
depth profile of Pr indicated that a very thin surface region up to 100 angstroms was the active
transmutation zone. Many experimental results showed that the quantity of Pr was proportional to the
deuterium flux through Pd complex. The cross section of transmutation of Cs into Pr can be roughly
estimated at 1 barn if we consider the deuterium flux as an ultra low energy deuteron beam.

Abstract Transmutation reactions in highly loaded hydrides have been reported by a number of research groups.
These studies are briefly summarized with emphasis on common systematics and key "signatures".
Transmutations divide into two types: heavy intermediate compound nucleus reactions yielding an
array of products with a large spectrum of masses; direct reactions between H/D and the electrode
metal or impurity atoms yielding isolated "single" products. Various mechanisms have been proposed
to explain the products and the ability to overcome the extremely large Columbic repulsion of the
high-Z elements involved.? Here we briefly consider a model involving orbital mixing and virtual
neutron formation associated with charge accumulation and hydrogen/deuteron flow at highly loaded
interfaces.

Abstract Unusual nuclear transmutation reactions have been reported by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI). In
their experiment, D2 gas permeates through a Pd complexes, which consists of a thin Pd
layer, alternating CaO and Pd layers and bulk Pd. When they used sample Pd complexes with additional
Cs on the surface, Pr emerged on the surface while Cs decreased after the sample was subjected to
D2 gas permeation at 343 K and 1 atm for about one week. The elemental analysis was
performed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). This phenomenon was reproduced qualitatively in
the present replication experiment.
We performed D-permeation experiments similar to the MHI?s experiment three times, and we
confirmed the production of Pr. Pd complex samples were provided to us by MHI. The surface was
electrolytically cleaned to remove hydrocarbons before depositing Cs. D2 gas was
permeated through the Pd complexes at 343 K and 1 atm for about 5 days. Inductively Coupled Plasma
Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) was performed to analyze the existence of the elements (Cs and Pr) and
the mass distribution. The results showed the existence of Pr. And we also confirmed the existence
of Pr by using fast Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) in Fusion Neutronics Source (FNS) of Japan
Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI).
As a result, we confirmed that the nuclear transmutation reaction, from 133Cs to
141Pr, was occurred. This transmutation suggests that the mass numbers and atomic numbers
increase 8 and 4, respectively. The model of multi-body resonance fusion of deuterons proposed by A.
Takahashi2 can explain this mass-8-and-charge-4 increased transmutation.

ABSTRACT: The present invention produces nuclide transmutation using a relatively small-scale
device. The device 10 that produces nuclide transmutation comprises a structure body 11 that is
substantially plate shaped and made of palladium (Pd) or palladium alloy, or another metal that
absorbs hydrogen (for example, Ti) or an alloy thereof, and a material 14 that undergoes nuclide
transmutation laminated on one surface 11A among the two surfaces of this structure body 11. The one
surface 11A side of the structure body 11, for example, is made a region in which the pressure of
the deuterium is high due to pressure or electrolysis and the like, and the other surface 11B side,
for example, is a region in which the pressure of the deuterium is low due to vacuum exhausting and
the like, and thereby, a flow of deuterium in the structure body 11 is produced, and nuclide
transmutation is carried out by a reaction between the deuterium and the material 14 that undergoes
nuclide transmutation.

Abstract ABSTRACT
Experiments using 1-mm plastic and glass microspheres coated with single and multilayers of
thin films of various metals such as palladium and nickel, used in a packed-bed electrolytic cell
(Patterson Power Cell ? configuration), have apparently produced a variety of nuclear reaction
products. The analysis of a run with 650-? film of Ni is presented here. Following a two-week
electrolytic run, the Ni film was found to contain Fe, Ag, Cu, Mg, and Cr, in concentrations
exceeding 2 atom % each, plus a number of additional trace elements. These elements were at the
most, only present in the initial film and the electrolyte plus other accessible cell components in
much smaller amounts. That fact, combined with other data, such as deviations from natural isotope
abundances, seemingly eliminates the alternate explanation of impurities concentrating in the film.

Abstract ABSTRACT
Nuclear transmutation results in palladium films loaded with deuterium gas and processed by an
excimer laser are reported. Vacuum evaporation was utilised to obtain palladium films on Si wafers.
The films were inserted in chambers with deuterium gas at a variable pressure up to 5 bar. During
the UV laser processing the maximum irradiating energy density was lower than 50 mJ/cm in order to
avoid the ablation of the palladium films. The samples were analysed by a scanning electron
microscope and an electron probe microanalyzer. After the experiments, we found that the Pd films
was modified. They presented many cracks and bubbles with very sharp edges. In the bubbles the
transmutation of elements was observed.

Abstract The announcement of cold fusion in March 1989 at the University of Utah was greeted with worldwide
hysteria. Drs. Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons had claimed that an electrochemical cell with
heavy water electrolyte and a palladium cathode put out so much excess energy that the mysterious
phenomenon had to be nuclear, and was probably a process related to nuclear fusion. Newspapers and
magazines said it might be a major scientific discovery with the potential to end the energy crisis
and revolutionize society. For a few heady weeks the public took it seriously and waited anxiously
for laboratories to replicate the results. Many scientists quickly took sides for or against cold
fusion ? mostly against. Then, by the end of the summer of 1989 the official word came, in an
authoritative report written by a select panel of experts under the auspices of the Department of
Energy: cold fusion was a bust. It did not exist. It was an experimental error. It could not be
reproduced. Nearly every scientific journal, magazine and newspaper on earth reported this, and cold
fusion abruptly dropped out of the headlines. The story, it seemed, was over. Actually, it had
barely begun. Only a few thousand electrochemists in the world were qualified to do the experiments,
and most of them were too busy or not interested in trying. In that autumn as public interest faded
and the U.S. Department of Energy pronounced a death sentence, a small number of experienced
scientists prepared serious, full-scale experiments. One of them was Tadahiko Mizuno, an assistant
professor who had been doing similar electrochemical experiments for more than twenty years.
