Abstract: The installation permitting to investigate gamma, x-ray and neutron radiations emitted by metals loaded with protium-deuterium mixture at temperature up to 750°C and pressure up to 100 bars is created.

Conference Name: 17th International Conference on Cold Fusion

Conference Location: Daejeon, Korea

Short Title: Cu-Ni-Mn alloy wires, with improved submicrometric surfaces, used as LENR device by new transparent, dissipation-type, calorimeter

Keywords: excess heat, hydrogen, nickel

Abstract: Abstract -- Starting in February 2011, we studied the feasibility of new Nickel based alloys that are able to absorb proper amounts of Hydrogen (H2) and/or Deuterium (D2) and that have, in principle, some possibility to generate anomalous thermal effects at temperatures >100°C.



The interest in Ni comes in part because there is the possibility to use H2 instead of expensive D2. Reports by F. Piantelli (since 1992), G. Miley (about 1995), M. Patterson, F. Celani (since 2010) and, overall, claims by A. Rossi and (later on) by Defkalion Company, could be further investigated. Moreover, cross-comparison of results using Hydrogen instead of Deuterium can be made and could help the understanding of the phenomena involved (nuclear origin?) because use of such isotopes.

Keywords: Theory

Abstract: The significance of LENR research for understanding nuclear structure is discussed. In contrast to atomic-level Quantum Electrodynamics (QED), nuclear theory has remained a collection of mutually-exclusive "models" lacking a rigorous foundation. I argue that LENR indicates the way forward to a quantitative theory of nuclear structure, Quantum Nucleodynamics (QND).

Abstract: The microstructure of Pd and Ti foils was altered by cold rolling followed by heating at temperatures up to ~700°C. The surface topography and microchemical composition of these foils was studied before and after electrolysis with heavy water electrolyte. Temperature measurements during electrolysis showed that Ti and Pd cathodes which had been heated to ~700°C gave about 1W excess power relative to a control.

Conference Name: 17th International Conference on Cold Fusion

Conference Location: Daejeon, Korea

Short Title: Surface Effect for Gas Loading Micrograin Palladium for Low Energy Nuclear Reactions LENR

Keywords: Theory

Abstract: Generation of elements up to heaviest nuclei by LENR was measured in 1995 where the basic proof is seen from the appearance of the Maruhn-Greiner maximum similar to fission of uranium. From plasma-gas loading of deuterium in palladium the value of Coulomb screening of the deuterium in the host crystal was derived and later confirmed by Czerski Huke et al.. Following the DDdistance of 2 pm, results in deuteron clusters offering a hypothetical explanation of the Maruhn-Greiner mechanism for LENR while inverted Rydberg states led to similar 2 pm deuteron distances. The preference of surface mechanisms for LENR is indicated by the screening process within the swimming electron layer at the surface and may be recognized from the detailed measurement of ultra-high density clusters in surface defects compared with the earlier measured high density deuteron cluster in volume defects.

Title: Neutron burst emissions from uranium deuteride and deuterium-loaded titanium

Conference Name: 17th International Conference on Cold Fusion

Conference Location: Daejeon, Korea

Short Title: Neutron burst emissions from uranium deuteride and deuterium-loaded titanium

Keywords: neutron

Abstract: This paper reports a new result of anomalous neutron emission, or called cascade neutron bust emission, from deuterium-loaded titanium and uranium deuterium samples at room temperature. The number of neutron in the large bursts was measured up to 2800 in less than 64-µs interval. After accidental artifact noise and cosmic-ray source are ruled out, we suggest that the anomalous cascade neutron bursts are correlated with deuterium-loaded metals and probably is the result of nuclear reaction occurring in the samples.

Conference Name: 17th International Conference on Cold Fusion

Short Title: Theoretical Analysis of Chemically Assisted Nuclear Reactions (CANR) in Nanoparticles

Keywords: neutron, nanoparticles

Abstract: Many problems still exist in current reports of CANR. First of all, the phenomena continue to be difficult to reproduce; secondly, some data are difficult to evaluate because of possible measurement errors; thirdly, some of the reported data can be explained by other chemical and/or physical reactions; and, lastly, the mechanisms remain unknown. Many theories on the mechanisms of CANR that seem to have generated nuclear reactions in special metallic structures have been suggested. These are nuclear fusion reactions involving hydrogen isotopes in the metals. We consider the interaction of the localization of electrons and charged particles within Nanoparticles. Hydrogen isotopes are changed slightly with electrons near to nuclei, and calculation of the probability of tunneling increases dramatically. This change is strongly dependent on the potential between two hydrogen nuclei. As for the reactive probability due to the tunnel effect, if the barrier potential decreases 50%, the reaction probability increases by ten orders of magnitude.

Short Title: Search for advanced simulation model of cascade vortices under beneath the electrode surface

Keywords: Theory

Abstract: In the cold fusion experiment, there observed vortex patterns on a thick Pd electrode surface during long-term electrolysis in 0.1M LiOD. To understand the peculiar phenomenon, we have proposed N-cycle model, which composed of four sequential processes including the fusion (CF) reaction. In this study, a numerical simulation for the analysis of the vortex patterns was performed elucidate the relation between the vortex formation and Supposing that the hypothetical particles mass evolved to CF reaction energy, two numerical simulations motion of the hypothetical particles mass were performed: Cellular automata (CA) and discretization method. of both simulations have shown generation of a vortex cascade of vortices, which were identical to those obtained experimentally. However, there still exist differences between the experimental and theoretical patterns in and form. Then, it motivates us to build a sophisticated model. On the other hand, Miesch performed the numerical simulation of the convection structure in the solar convection zone, where appearance of vortex was deduced from the helioseismic data. The numerical simulation showed that the downflow was characterized by the helicity reversal near base of the convection zone. Reviewing the numerical calculation method and the restricted conditions inspired the important term of helicity change under conservation, relaxation and transportation across boundary.

Abstract: In the cold fusion experiment, there observed vortex patterns on a thick Pd rod electrode surface during long-term electrolysis in 0.1M LiOD. To understand the peculiar phenomenon, we had proposed N-cycle model, which is composed of four sequential processes including the CF reaction. In this study, numerical simulation for the analysis of the vortex patterns was performed to elucidate the relation between the vortex formation and the CF reaction. Supposing that the hypothetical particles mass evolved due to the CF reaction energy, we performed the numerical simulation using discretization method for the analysis of 3D motion of the hypothetical particles mass. The experimental results showed that the ejected particles mass from one side to another in a given rectangular box (simulate the sub-surface layer) exhibited a helical trajectory as a function of magnetic field. The traces of the ejected particles mass on another side composed vortex pattern. There has been remained more accurate simulation to examine the structure of the layer and the influence of the magnetic field.

Title: Basic Physics Model for PdH Thermodynamics

Conference Name: 17th International Conference on Cold Fusion

Short Title: Basic Physics Model for PdH Thermodynamics

Keywords: Theory

Abstract: We have explored a new model that posits a weak binding between absorbed hydrogen atoms in PdH. We developed a model formulation and found that a reasonable fit to experimental entropy and enthalpy is possible. The model appears to provide a natural physical explanation of observed entropy dependence on loading.
