The handout is titled Production of Helium and Energy in the "Solid Fusion"
It is poorly written. It begins:
Experiment:
It was studied that many factors having effects
on the reaction heat in solid-state fusion, for
instance: the gas flow rate, vessel structure and size, and cooling condition.
Two kinds of powder were investigated under the
same conditions: one is nano powder ZrO2Pd35 (:
ZrPd alloy), and the other is Zr02Ni3oPd5 (: ZrNiPd alloy).
As shown in Fig. 1, X-ray diffraction analysis
was carried out for both of the nano powder ZrPd
and ZrNiPd. From Fig.l [A], we can see that
almost all of the palladium elements exist as the
palladium oxide (PdO) in the original nano powder
(ZrPd). Based on this X-ray analysis results, to
remove the Oxygen from the original powder, a
"deoxidization treatment" is very important for
the nano powder ZrPd before the general
pressurization of the powder with D2 gas.
The process of "deoxidization treatment" is as follows:
(1) Firstly, the nano powder ZrPd was sealed
inside the stainless vessel and then vacuumed at
room temperature until the vacuum up to about 5 x
10 "5 torr. Then the vessel(with the sample
powder inside) was baked and vacuumed at 150
[°C], kept for 6 hours, then was cooled down to
room temperature. The vacuum of vessel was about
5 x 10^-6 torr at room temperature. . . .
