Jed Rothwell just have translated and uploaded the presentation of Yoshino, Igari, Mizuno team.
"Replicable Model for Controlled Nuclear Reaction using Metal Nanoparticles" (Hideki Yoshino, Eijiro Igari, Tadahiko Mizuno)
That team is the one who is funded by a new Japanese startup "Clean Planet" that we presented few days ago.
they results are very interesting for two reasons.
The first is they demonstrated an interesting heat production :
- with Nickel nanoparticles and Deuterium
- for 1 month
- at 75W excess heap, COP 1.9
- producing 108MJ
The second is that they measured the isotopic composition of the gas inside, roughly measuring the weight of molecule, atoms, ions, so to measure the number of nucleon in the molecule (D2->4 T->3 DH->3 H2->2 D->2)...
For D2 gas experiment the spectrometry seems to show that :
- species of weight 2 (D,H2) and 3 (HD,3He,H3) increase, while those of weigh 4 (D2, 4He,H2D*) decrease
- then species of weight 2 increase while species of weight 3 and 4 decrease
The results show also that the volume of gas increase.
This is really strange, since naively we would imagine that monoatomic hydrogens cannot last long, so that n=4 is probably D2 or HT , n=3 is probably HD and n=2 is H2...
letting the astonishing conclusion that the reaction transforms D2 into HD+H then H2+H2, or D2 into T+H then D+H2...thus fissioning deuterium, eventually producing transient tritium or He3 by fusion...
It remind me the comments of Defkalion who said that it was a multistage process, of http://www.solarhydrogentrends.com/ that it was fission and fusion, able to produce H2 from the Oxygen of water...
It looks crazy to me, but experiments will decide who is crazy and who is right...
some theories started to flow ...
We should be prudent as it is only preliminary... maybe more to come...
