@Peter
As an aside, please let me know how do you interpret Focardi's declaration
that he does not know what Rossi's catayst is.
I think the obvious interpretation is that Rossi invented it, and didn't
tell Focardi. I think that's the official story anyway and I don't see
anthing wrong with that? I have no opinion about who did the most work, and
who was the most intelligent. I would buy your version pretty easily, but
then, really, it doesn't matter. What matters for the world is that we get
it to the mainstream, finally.
@Noone
Piantelli is like a person who discovers heavy crude oil. Andrea Rossi is
the person who was able to refine it into high grade jet fuel, and use it
to power an aircraft.
I think both guys did great work, and many more will need to follow before
we have a world powerd by cold fusion. There isn't one big name in oil, and
the most famous or well known names aren't necessarily the ones who
contributed the most.
@Aussie
Yes I agree, very interesting. If LENR really works at low energy it *must*
be happening in nature already, and maybe also in some man-made processes
that we didn't realize. There are reports on bacteria living on nickel,..

Nuclear Transmutations in Polyethylene (XLPE) Films and
Water Tree Generation in Them

Cold Fusion Research Laboratory ( hjrfq...@ybb.ne.jp )
597-16 Yatsu, Aoi, Shizuoka, 421-1202, Japan

Abstract

An explanation of the nuclear transmutation (NT) observed in XLPE
(crosslinked polyethylene) films is presented based on the
neutron-drop model used in the theoretical investigation of the cold
fusion phenomenon in other cold fusion
materials (CF materials); transition-metal hydrides/deuterides.

The NT’s,
K → Ca,
Mg → Al,
56 26Fe → 57 26Fe
and Fe → Ni, are explained by a single-neutron
absorption with or without a succeeding beta-decay to get final nuclides.

On the other hand, the NT’s,
56 26Fe → 64 30Zn
and 56 26Fe → 60 28Ni, are explained by an absorption of a neutron drop
8 4Δ and 4 2Δ, respectively, in the cf-matter formed in CF materials.
Production of extraordinary elements Li, Pb and Bi is discussed from
our point of view.
Thus, we concluded that the generation of water trees in XLPE samples
is caused by nuclear reactions induced by cold fusion phenomenon at
around spherulites.
The NT found in XLPE may have a relation with the NT’s found in
biological bodies (biotransmutation).

In my opinion, Piantelli's work is meaningless. He was not able to do anything 
with Ni-H fusion.

Piantelli is like a person who discovers heavy crude oil. Andrea Rossi is the 
person who was able to refine it into high grade jet fuel, and use it to power 
an aircraft.

Anyone who thinks that Piantelli owns the rights to Rossi's technology, must 
also believe that the individuals who discovered the transistor back in 1947 
now own the rights to all high end personal computers. It is simply insane.

- From
December 1989 and January 1990.  In the

cell;
-
Between January and June 1990.  The
phenomenon is repeated for two times;

-
October 1990. Meeting of Piantelli with R. Habel and S.Focardi at the 
S.I.F.National
Congress of Physics held in Trento; start  of collaboration,

-
1991-1992 First experiment from the collaboration with the two Italian
physicists;

- 1993
At the FisiocriticiAcademyin Sienais made of the first publication about the
work of 1990 under the sole name of Piantelli;
The paper is: 

F. Piantelli -Anornalous Energy Production in Experirnents with H and 
D Isotopes adsorbed in particular metallic Lattice, Atti Acc. Fis. 
Serie XV-Tomo XII -(1993)

- 1994
Completions of the Piantelli-Habel-Focardi experiment published at Nuovo
Cimento;

- 1994 R.
Habel stops the collaboration; etc., etc.

Please take in account that almost all experiments for anomalous heat were done 
at Siena U. Bologna was focused on the analytical side.

As an aside, please let me know how do you interpret Focardi's declaration that

All,

Thanks for your input, I updated the paper to incorporate most of your 
comments.
@Aussie Thanks;

@Peter I maintain that Rossi forced the current big breakthrough,
whether it is just an additive or not. I agree with you that it is
fair to mention Piantelli and Focardi as founders and completely
revised that section to include it.

@Rich I believe I did pay a fair amount of attention to the critics. I
summarized all point is the paragraph What the critics say and more
in the paragraph about Rossi. I think the critique you summarize is
equally valid for super-conduction. Any paper in professional
literature can be found to lack of common sense on some points and
short of some additional measurement that could have been done on
others, once scrutinized by an army of skeptics. However, the sum of
the work done by many independent laboratories using a variety of
different approaches shows, without doubt, a pattern that is difficult
to reject as pathological science. Small government funding for
further investigation is well warranted. No point to criticize
something that doesn't exist, if you don't like it, ignore it. But I
do like your contributions Rich:-)

@Alain I feel as if I missed something, about CF or about humanity
- Exactly! What is going on? I feel like Truman in one of your human
systems experiments ;-)

@Robin I was a bit overly optimistic with the energy density,
corrected it. 3 cubic mile oil - equivalents is our energy
consumption, this includes coal and uranium (and renewables). 1 CMO is
oil alone. I corrected it anyway, no point overstating that. Thanks
for pointing this out, it's not worth getting caught on.

Some (early version of?) H-bombs use multiple fission bombs, not all,
and maybe none of the modern ones. It doesn't really matter, I feel
like I have to underline the dirtiness of this business anyway.
Intriguing in this regard I find the new studies that point out that
there is very little evidence of the fusion part of these bombs
contributing significantly to the power. Intriguing because the
inventor of the H-bomb is a prominent cold-fusion skeptic, citing the
lack of evidence...

Hydrogen atoms do not repel each other. Naked protons repel each other. That's
why hot fusion is so difficult - they insist on using naked protons.
- I agree. For sake of simplicity I skipped over it. And technically
it isn't wrong. Atoms attract at some length scales, but not at all.
That's why hydrogen does form molecules but doesn't fuse just like
that. I don't like the emphasis some people put on the stripping off
of electrons, as if that's a big deal

LENR may be both. Hyperchemistry providing much of the energy, with some of the
shrunken Hydrogen occasionally undergoing a fusion reaction responsible for the
low level ionizing radiation. Note that when Deuterium is used, the amount of
actual fusion taking place may be much higher due to the fact that no weak force

the lack of LENR in most circumstances where Hydride is ordinarily produced?
IOW there doesn't appear to be any evidence from Chemistry that the negative
hydrogen ion can shrink.

 As regarding Transition Metals-H LENR (not only Ni works)...

It's interesting to know that not only Ni (in addition to Pd) works.
I assume that Fe-H LENRs could be possible, at least in theory; I wonder 
at what efficiency, compared to Nickel.

Rossi claims to have experimented with many materials. Why not ask him how
effective Fe was relative to Ni?

Dear Bastiaan,

I like the logical structure  of your paper- and it is very well written.
However if you speak about the Ni-H fusion, the historical truth is that
this does not resulted from a technical revelation of Andrea Rossi but was
discovered by Prof. Francesco Piantelli at Aug.16
1989 and developed by Piantelli's group from Siena Univ. in collaboration
with Focardi's group from Bologna Univ. - the later doing mainly the
analytical part. Their reseach has attested the nuclear nature of the
anomalous phenomenon and has put the basics of the scale up of the heat
effect.
See please:
http://egooutpeters.blogspot.com/2011/08/piantelli-taxonomy_15.html
http://egooutpeters.blogspot.com/2011/08/how-does-apply-prof-piantelli-rules-of.html
In New Energy Times No. 29 you will find two important papers about
Piantelli. who is a great, real scientist.
Rossi tries to convince the world that his system is quite different
from Piantelli's but Piantelli was the first to discover the
nanotechnological nature of the phenomenon, has worked with Ni
powder much before Rossi. This is one of the reasons Rossi cannot obtain a
patent. Please compare Piantelli's patents (see the taxonomy) with Rossi's
and you will get an explanation.
Possi has made an Edisonian search and has found an additive
that enhances the process, but his system still remains a Piantelli
Plus process.
In the frame of his very peculiar prestige management, Rossi denies this
connection. He does this from personal reasons, Piantelli did not accepted
him as collaborator.
I think that it would be fair to tell about Piantelli in your paper.
And the story is not over, Rossi Secret is very vulnerable (see
Defkalion, Chan's Formula) and very soon a lot of Piantelli daughter
technologies will compete with that Regan or Goneril that is Rossi's
method.

the critics could look ok when anomaly was around 20W and below % with old
instruments.
maybe even critics could not sustain honest check (accusing a chemist of
failing heat computation, is like accusing an accountant to break a
balance).

with reports, if they are honest, like the one about the test in sweden on
the small e-cat, reporting 25kW anomaly,
any chemical process is insufficient.

maybe we should find, scientifically, why this domain could not , and still
cannot convince, despite
much better proof than many well funded science domain, that play with
model, uncertain data, hazardous proxy measures.
despite the fact that instead of costing trillions , it cost few billions,
for an easy checkable result...

could be interesting in human systems engineering (some people call that

 I will try to get information re the work with metalhydrides at the
 Plank Institute I liked very much the idea from the Chan's
Formula to use
 metalhydrides as sources of hydrogen in a Ni-H system

Examples are countless. Some of them:
http://www.mpg.de/1167514/Hydrogen_storage  They search a
catalysator for fast hydrogen loading.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19333448  High temperature heat
storage in metal hydrides.
The full article is here:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2662468/
This is /VERY/ interesting.
They use catalysts and nickel doping and temperatures up to 500
degrees and pressures upto 100 bar.
The mechanism is precisely explained in the article.
Why dont they get fusion?
Put Rossis catalyst into this container, and it should explode, or
kill anybody around by radiation ;-)

You will find hundreds of research projects. Metalhydrides are
very important in combustion cells and accus also and are heavily
researched worldwide.

Hi group,

As a physicist I feel obliged to spread the word on cold fusion and
explain what it is to the general public. In that attempt I wrote the
linked paper, please have a look and give me your blunt feedback. Also
please use the paper however you see fit.

Thanks,
Bastiaan.
