Although there's no doubt some compression of any loaded deuterium in the nitinol system, I suspect that mechanical deformation of the nitinol by way of electrical impulse will not be sufficient to bring deuterons close to one another or to lattice sites by many orders of magnitude. (One of the

CB Sites, Yes, nitinol does not hold up well to hydrogen loading. I did several electrolysis experiments with it in 2012/2013 with H. Thicker wire held up better. You can see a video of one of the experiments here:

I don't believe that nickel or titanium can be loaded with hydrogen. Is such loading even possible? On Fri, Mar 13, 2015 at 9:02 PM, CB Sites cbsit...@gmail.com wrote: Interesting video and reference Jack. I did one LENR experiment with Nitjnol that may be worth repeating. My system didn't

Axil, unless there is some limit on loading your talking about, both Nickel and titanium will load hydrogen/deuterium into their lattice. Titanium was what Steve Jones first used in his first CF experiments because it would load more deuterium than palladium greater than one I believe. . Nickel

What's the old saying; great minds think alike. I loved the video. You could see pulses of bubbles being ejected from the nitinol as it contracted. In my rig, I had the nitinol vertical and when it would contract it would pull the lever arm of a weighted fulcrum up, I was later going to use

Interesting video and reference Jack. I did one LENR experiment with Nitjnol that may be worth repeating. My system didn't work out to well but I only tried once. The idea was to use electrolysis to load the Nitenol wth D+ and then heat the nitinol to contract forcing the lattice deuterium to

Another way that shape memory materials might be used in a LENR reactor is to form Micro particles out of high temperature shape memory material such as Ti–50(Pt,Ir) or Nitinol (50Ni 50Ti). At reactor temperatures lower than the operating temperature setpoint, the shape memory micro particle

A shape memory alloy can operate at very high temperatures in excess of that produced by the dog bone. It may the possible to build a mechanical device that produces a sharp pressure increase in the hydrogen gas to activate increased LENR reactivity through nanoparticle creation via supercritical

Dale Basgall suggests that gadolinium expands when exposed to a magnetic field and contacts when the field is removed. In our past discussions, he was thinking you could create a rapidly oscillating pressure in the cell using some gadolinium and EM pulses. We have also long thought nitinol may
