Defkalion is making a lot of claims without proof of what they say.

Theoretical Analysis and Reaction Mechanisms for Experimental Results of Hydrogen-Nickel Systems presented by Yeong Kim was anticipated because of his recent collaboration with Defkalion Green Technologies, who beamed in a video of their demonstration of the R-5 reactor in Milan on Tuesday. The Hyperion reactor contains a core of nickel metal foam. Heating the system to 180 C - 849 C, the Hyperion is then triggered, after which the magnetic field rose 0.6 to 1.6 Tesla. Kim says, "This indicates that LENRs are producing very strong electric fields E, currents I, and magnetic fields B." ICCF-18fKim reported Defkalion tests produced excess heat only with the even isotopes of Ni (58, 60, 62, and 64), whereas odd isotopes do not produce excess heat (61). No gammas outside of 50 keV to 300 keV were detected from the Hyperion. Graphs were shown of an excess heat run, and a control run, where the data showed the power can be cut-off at will, revealing the ability to control the reaction. Kim then began to describe his theoretical explanation of the data. He speculated that in the Fleischmann-Pons Effect (FPE), two deuterons making a Helium-4 require a symmetric release of energy, to conserve total momentum. For two-particles exiting the reaction, his model shows lower probability. "The problem is solved", says Kim, and he is willing to talk to other theorists to help convince them. He then described Boson Cluster-State Nuclear Fusion (BCSNF) generalized to include Hydrogen-Metal Systems. While there are still some unknowns, namely the S-factor representing the nuclear force strength, and the probability of the Boson Cluster State (BCS), the predicted reaction rates can be compared with the experimental reaction rates. Kim speculated that the magnetic fields generated by the triggering could provide magnetic alignments of Nickel atoms, and these could provide localized magnetic trap (LMT) potentials for Boson clusters on the surface of Ni powders, though these traps have short lifetimes. It is Rydberg atoms that then form the BEC cluster state. "H and Ni powders triggered by glow discharge created a magnetic field causing Rydberg states allowing nano-scale localized magnetic traps, allowing Hydrogen Boson Cluster States in the LMT on the Ni surfaces. Fusion between these elements create excess heat and locally produced glow discharges." Kim writes, "Transmutation reactions involving Ni isotopes may not be dominant reaction mechanism but could be part of much weaker secondary reaction." Kim believes that self-sustaining reactions could be improved by increasing the deuterium density, and this will be tested with Hyperion R-6 reactor with the on-line real-time mass spectrometer at Defkalion Lab. 1% of Defkalion revenue will be spent on basic scientific research. Moving forward, Defkalion will be cooperating with National Instruments, as well. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- IMHO, Boson Cluster-State Nuclear Fusion (BCSNF) is a Nanoplasmonic process. I do not agree with Kim that BEC is the primary LENR mechanism. It is instead a epiphenomenon (plural - epiphenomena) or a secondary phenomenon that occurs alongside or in parallel to a primary phenomenon. An epiphenomenon can be an effect of primary phenomena, but cannot affect a primary phenomenon. In the field of complex systems, the term epiphenomenon tends to be used interchangeably with "emergent effect". ---------------------------------------------------- In the E-cat, the polariton formation process allows for the formation of EMF solitons as separate unconnected units at low temperatures. As the temperature rises, polariton formation of global polariton Bose-Einstein condensation appears as an epiphenomenon. This BEC will thermalize the gamma radiation via a superatom mechanism.

You best begin your study of this area of scienceto understand LENR.
