Abstract

Co-deposition electrochemical cells are a simple means to examine novel nuclear reactions. In this study, palladium and deuterium atoms were co-deposited on a cathode at stoichiometric densities, forming dendritic morphologies. Bubble detector neutron dosimeters were used to measure equivalent dose levels during electrolytic deposition. Cells expected to produce excess neutrons were denoted as experimental cells and contained an electrolyte consisting of palladium(II) chloride, lithium chloride, and heavy water. The control cells used copper(II) chloride, lithium chloride, and heavy water electrolyte. Thirteen experimental and nine control cells were supplied current, increasing from 0.1 to 100.0 mA over a period of 20 days. Neutron radiation levels detected near experimental cells were, on average, greater than those measured near control cells for the entire test profile. For test days 9 through 20, the experimental cells exhibited significantly higher average neutron radiation than the controls at a 99% confidence level.

The Effects of Interactions of the Extremely Low-Level Radiation with Quantum Coherent Nanosystems

Abstract

The most typical features of a display of interaction of the nanostructures quantum coherent systems with the low-intensive external signals are analyzed. It is shown that the dynamics of a display of such interaction has cardinal differences from the similar phenomena in not coherent systems. The special attention is given to consideration of the reasons for the occurrence of Zhadin effect in a water solution of glutamic acid and in water structures of the biological organisms. From a position of the theory of water created by J. Preparata, water contains the areas of coherency in its composition—the coherent domains (CDs). The diluted solutions of glutamic acid can contain agglomerates (by analogy to the diluted homeopathist preparations) in which CDs can be located with the big density. At influencing a solution of super low-frequency and super low-intensive external magnetic field, there is a synchronous emission from the surface of CDs of the ions with impurity of a glutamic acid, originally rotated on the cyclotron orbits of CDs. It is shown that the narrow peak of an answer signal on the influence of the magnetic field, appearing in dependence of a current through a solution from the size of the applied field, can have a maximum of intensity in the square-law dependence on the amount of CDs in the separate agglomerates. Such dependence is similar to what predicts the effect of Dicke for the radiating of identical atoms interacting among themselves, located in a region of a size of wavelength of radiation of the atoms.

I note the technically interesting section (translated)

Quote from Translated by Google

Professor Iwamura and his colleagues named the energy generated from this condensed nuclear reaction "quantum hydrogen energy" and established a unique heat generation method. We have developed a small generator that occludes light hydrogen in nanoscale nickel and copper and stimulates it under certain conditions to cause a condensed nuclear reaction to generate electricity. A demonstration machine capable of generating 100 watts has already been completed, and a demonstration machine capable of generating 1 kilowatt is scheduled to be completed by the end of the year. Representative Yoshino said, "The demo machine is one of the core models for scaling the business from now on. Based on this, we will make a model that can generate 100 kilowatts and 1 megawatt in the future to solve the world's energy problems. I want to solve it all at once. "

Generators using "quantum hydrogen energy" are currently being talked about with companies in all industries, such as installation in electric vehicles, building power supply equipment, and introduction as new energy in cities. Professor Iwamura said, "If you want to install it in a car, you need something that is resistant to vibration, and if you introduce it as a building power source, you need more power generation than size. We are in the starting stage for this. "

Recent (February 2021) Claim of replication of Ohsawa-Kushi type experiments, dubbed Metal Oxygen Fusion (MOXY), positive results based in the detection of X rays emission, and absense of it in controls.

Metal–Oxygen Fusion: Experimental Confirmation of an Ohsawa-Kushi Transmutation and an Exploration of Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions.

Kenneth N. Swartz

Abstract: There have been numerous low-energy nuclear reaction (LENR)experiments that produce results suggestive of nuclear fusion. These experiments stretch back from the early 1900sto the present.Significant excess amounts of heat are emitted from these reactions—greater than their electrical and chemical energy inputs. Most of these LENRs, or “new hydrogen energy”experiments, are based on electrolytic or electrical discharge plasma reactors. Results suggestive of fusion include the detection of gamma-and X-ray radiation; alpha, beta, neutron, and proton emissions; as well as helium-4. X-ray spectroscopic analysis of the metal electrodes used in LENR experiments has resulted in the discovery of new elements not originally present in the electrode metal.There are no currently accepted fusion synthesis pathways to account for the appearance of these new elements. Metal–oxygen fusion (MOXY) can explain many LENR results. At the nanoscale level, MOXY is more characteristic of fusion occurring within the degenerate matter of stellar cores. As a process, MOXY can be classified as a form of hot fusion. MOXY can help explain the fusion synthesis and decay pathways observed in LENRs.The MOXY process appears to have a greater propensity to occur when using elements with greater atomic weight, as well as with heavier isotopes of elements. Significant reductions in heavy radioactive nucleotides are observed with MOXY fusion.
