Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry Electrolytic co-deposition neutron production measured by bubble detectors

Highlights • Bubble detector neutron dosimeters measured electrochemical cell neutron activity

• Case control: PdCl2/LiCl/D20 cells were compared with CuCl2/LiCl/D20 control cells

• Experimental cells exhibited neutron activity greater than controls: 99% confidence

• Highest neutron-generating experimental cells produced dendritic cathode deposits

• Neutron activity cannot be explained by chemical reactions, only nuclear processes

Abstract Co-deposition electrochemical cells are a simple means to examine novel nuclear reactions. In this study, palladium and deuterium atoms were co-deposited on a cathode at stoichiometric densities, forming dendritic morphologies. Bubble detector neutron dosimeters were used to measure equivalent dose levels during electrolytic deposition. Cells expected to produce excess neutrons were denoted as experimental cells and contained an electrolyte consisting of palladium(II) chloride, lithium chloride, and heavy water. The control cells used copper(II) chloride, lithium chloride, and heavy water electrolyte. Thirteen experimental and nine control cells were supplied current, increasing from 0.1 to 100.0 mA over a period of 20 days. Neutron radiation levels detected near experimental cells were, on average, greater than those measured near control cells for the entire test profile. For test days 9 through 20, the experimental cells exhibited significantly higher average neutron radiation than the controls at a 99% confidence level.

Basically they're finding neutrons in cold fusion cells, which means they are definitely nuclear in origin. NASA is calling these cells "lattice contained fusion" while Google is patenting their findings under "Enhanced Coulomb Repulsion".

[Jonty30]

I thought you were banned over cold fusion?

I’m glad you weren’t.

The world is about to change again.

“Basically they’re finding neutrons in cold fusion cells, which means they are definitely nuclear in origin.”

Please tell them to hurry. Macron (France’s leader) just formed his own version of the Hitler Youth to give him cover to shut down their energy sector.

[ConservativeMind]

Google has a patent on this that competes with NASA’s?

SPAWAR (now NIWC) demonstrated evidence of neutron generation in co-deposited Pd-D (palladium-deuterium) structures back in 2008. This was demonstrated using observations of "triple-track" pitting in CR-39 plastic sheeting on the surface of LENR cell cathodes. Their evidence was accepted for publication by at least one peer-reviewed journal (Naturwissenschaften), and has been replicated by others.

SPAWAR also observed infrared flashes on the cathode surface of their co-deposition cathode; this evidence has been cited in numerous YouTube videos.

The "co-dep" experiments are some of the most interesting ever done on LENR, and the results using this methodology have been duplicated in Japan and elsewhere.

I was banned for criticizing JimRob for endorsing RINOs. After a while I regretted it but moved on, starting the President Trump Channel on DISQUS which ended up with 275k followers.

After we were deplatformed, I spent my time in the rough and tumble unmoderated forum at www.predictit.org where people supposedly put their money where their mouth is. Then they hired a libtard moderator and suddenly without warning went full libtard, so I got banned there.

That’s when I asked JimRob to be reinstated and he graciously did so. I’ve been steering folks to FR this whole time.

That’s fission, this is fusion.

[Kevmo]

This experiment is essentially a replication of SPAWAR’s results. Note they also used CR39.

[Kevmo]

Apparently, that experiment has been replicated over 200 times.

Electroanalytical Chemistry making America great again.

[Kevmo]

I dunno how to solve that problem for you.

[Kevmo]

Thank you for posting that.

If I were to give advice to anyone looking to start their college career in science or engineering, I would encourage them to go into this field.

I tried to interest my son but he’s going after Civil Engineering at UCLA instead. Not interested. Probably because it’s Dad saying it.

It’s like that scene in The Graduate where some family acquaintance says that the future is in ‘plastics’. They did a marvelous job making him look like a plastic, disingenuous character. It turns out, that woulda been excellent career advice.

I’m restarting the Cold Fusion Ping List. Post to me if you want on or off.
