    Abstract

    Quote

    The author and his students have investigated anomalous heat generation during carbon arcing done under saline water solutions using carbon electrodes. Energy balance calculations, indicate a marginal excess energy of up to 50 % with MS electrodes while with carbon electrodes output to input energy ratios are found to be as high as a factor of eight indicating excess heat up to 700%. We think that the anomalous excess energy could be due to some type of [lexicon]Low Energy Nuclear Reactions[/lexicon] (LENR) but the nature of these reactions have not been studied by us so far. The carbon-electrode arc results on heat-accounting corroborate the mass-spectroscopic findings reported by BARC, Texas A & M University and other groups. Keywords: LENR, BARC, Carbon Electrodes.


    Conclusion

    Quote

    Electric-arc is basically plasma. The speculation of possibility of nuclear-fusion (LENR) in arc-welding indeed seems to be true. For better heat accounting carbon-electrode-arc experiments conducted give much higher (~ 700%) excess-heat, and further reinforce the claim for possibility of nuclear-fusion (LENR) in the electric-arc. Spectroscopic-analysis results of other researchers do support the claim of LENR in the electric-arc. Electric-arc could thus possibly be used for water-heating & steam-generation and hence for powerproduction with this simple but revolutionary proposal of extracting excess-heat of the electric-arc.


  • I am an Intermediate Student and we learnt already in third grade that such nonsense is just silly.
    Please feel free to put me in the shame corner for saying so, but I will not regret it. :)

    The paper sure need to be reviewed on the calorimetry, and replicated, but there is nothing shocking in LENR domain.
    It is not far from Mizuno and some old Japanese work, and coherent with some recent plasma electrolysis claims in Russia.
