Biological Detection of Physical Factors Related to the High-Current Electric Explosion of Conductors in a Vacuum

Abstract

The effect physical factors associated with the high-current electric explosion of conductors in a vacuum (pulsed magnetic field, light exposure, radiation leaving specific tracks on nuclear emulsions and other materials) have on biological systems is studied. The effect is assessed from the level of nuclear DNA damage in human peripheral blood leukocytes, the frequency of chromosomal aberrations in the dividing cells of an onion root, the growth rate of green unicellular algae, and the germination and growth rate of plant seeds.

No direct access to the full paper, but it’s worth having this one on the radar.

This topic can be discussed in the following thread (full paper added in discussion thread, thanks to Bob Greenyer).

“Strange” particles and micro-sized ball lightning in some electric discharges

Abstract

When conducting experiments on the electric explosion of titanium foil in water, a “strange” radiation was detected, leaving dotted traces on the film. The velocity of the carriers of this radiation was estimated as 20–40 m/s, and their energy, estimated by the Coulomb drag mechanism, turned out to be equal to 700 MeV. Subsequently, it was found that similar traces are formed at various types of high-current arc discharges, both of artificial and natural origin. Many solutions have been proposed to explain the nature of “strange” radiation, but none of them describes the details of the process of formation of dotted traces. We believe that these traces on the film could appear due to the action of charged micron-sized clusters. The possibility of the existence of clusters in the form of a nucleus from a certain number of similarly charged ions enclosed in a spherical shell of water molecules is shown. The force of the Coulomb repulsion of ions is compensated by the compression force of the shell polarized by the inhomogeneous electric field created by the nuclear charge. As the cluster approaches the surface of the film, a cluster with a small charge separates from it. It is accelerated in the electric field of a “large” cluster to energy of about 1 GeV. Having received a recoil momentum, a large cluster moves away from the film, braking in an inhomogeneous electric field, and then “falls” onto it again, and the process is repeated.

Comparison of AHE data

between H2 and He runs for CNZ7rrr sample

Basically it says they have started to do calibration runs with the same powdered material sample used in “live” runs, but using Helium as control, and comparing the results with the H2 runs. They say it saves time and they have been able to verify the excess watts (between 36 to 59 watts of excess heat, compared to the control runs),and also that they have verified a direct temperature dependence of the excess heat in a range of temperatures starting at 330 C and up to 500 C.

The material seems to handle well the loading / unloading with He and which allows to use the same material sample for different runs (they have already been doing this for a while as we know).

Low‐energy nuclear fusion reactions in solids: Experiments

Dimiter Alexandrov

Summary

Replicable experimental results about low‐energy nuclear fusion reactions based on initially reacting deuterium nuclei giving cold nuclear fusion synthesis of helium (both isotopes ³He and ⁴He) and energy release as final products are reported in this article. These final products are results of interaction of deuterium with the solids in experimental system including two specimens: molybdenum metal and palladium nanowires. Experimental proofs about cold nuclear fusion synthesis of both ³He and ⁴He are provided. It reported a correlation between concentration of the generated helium and the measured temperature of the sample holder. It is found that the concentrations of both ³He and ⁴He increase with increase of the kinetic energies of the interacting deuterium nuclei and also with increase of the temperature of the sample holder.

Interesting that this researcher claims high reproducibility and production of Helium 3 and Helium 4.

Excellent find!

New paper that discovers water has two different liquid phases.

Not directly LENR related but probably important to know:

Last paragraph

Quote

Another long term interest is the holy grail of the energy industry: cold fusion. That’s not something Diarte says he can invest in yet, but there are a growing number of cold fusion-related proposals crossing his desk these days, so things may be progressing.

New blog article written on Medium about cold fusion, I got intrigued enough because the author (she is an astrophysics student) claims Cold Fusion is real, and teases with a new blog where she will say what Cold Fusion is about. (I wonder if she will go the Galushkin thermal runaway side or the Dimitryeva and others way of atomic recombination, or will come up with something new).

Most of the article is a rehash of what we know, but told in a rather positive and hopeful way. The eye catching part is the last two paragraphs:

“ Perhaps what’s most surprising is that this is only one side to the story of cold fusion. It is real. But not in the way the above scientists have so far pursued it. I’ll soon be publishing the second part of the cold fusion story with proof that it is a real, scientifically proven phenomenon.

I hope you’ll join me again for that. Thank you for reading.”

Thanks for that Curbina - I particularly like this quote - which is also relevant to some recent squavvles in the forum.

'Of the over 5,000 scientific journals in existence less than 1% are willing to publish any (cold fusion) related content.'
