Anomalous Heat Generation and Nuclear Transmutation Experiments at Condensed Matter Nuclear Reaction Division of Tohoku University

A new division devoted to Condensed Matter Nuclear Reaction (CMNR) was established at the Research Center for Electron Photon Science of Tohoku University in April, 2015. In this division, experiments on anomalous heat generation and nuclear transmutation have been conducted. Following research items will be presented. 1) Anomalous excess heat generated by the interaction between nano-structured Pd/Ni surface and D2/H2 gas was observed. These experiments are based on Mizuno’s experiments [1]-[2]. Recently, our experimental set-ups have been improved to be able to make experiments under high pressure D2/H2 gas up to 0.3Mpa. 2) Replication Experiments based on Kitamura and Takahashi’s work [3] were performed at Tohoku University. Anomalous heat generation using Nickel-based binary nanocomposites and hydrogen isotope gas was reproduced. 3) 141Pr was confirmed by Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy with the statistical significance of about 2.5. 141Pr is supposed to be a transmuted isotope from Cs using Pd/CaO multi-layer foil with D2 gas permeation [4]-[5]. RBS has never been applied to detection of 141Pr, although 141Pr we detected by XPS, ICP-MS, SIMS, TOF-SIMS and XRF [4]-[5]. 4) Transmutation experiments of stable Se, Zr and Pd were performed. The aim of these experiments is to transmute long lived radioisotopes (107Pd, 79Se, 93Zr and 135Cs) into stable ones.

Validation of Brillouin Energy Corporation Hydrogen Hot Tube Experiments 5 September 2015

The author conducted an independent validation of the power output of the Brillouin EnergyHydrogen Hot Tube (“HHT”) experiments at both SRI and the company’s Berkeley facility. Theresults show with very high confidence excess energy output above chemical and likely due to anuclear interaction of 12 to 20 watts over an 18 to 24 hour period several times during the spring andsummer of 2015. This power level was above the amount of energy that could be produced by known chemical reactions within the system. Further work can be done to eliminate the remaining uncertainty factors and to demonstrate enhanced controllability using Brillouin’s Q-Pulse Technology.

Replication of experimental results is certainly fundamental to experimental science. That basic requirement has been a chronic problem for LENR, since the beginning of the field in 1989. It remains a challenge to the entire field, despite progress by some experimenters. There are only a few different approaches to reproducing the results documented in published papers or other reports. One is simply reading the documents, and trying to redo what was published. That has been done very often in the field. In some cases, scientists have obtained equipment from the earlier experimenters to improve the chances of successful replication [1]. Yet another way to achieve reproduction is to invite the initial scientists with their equipment into a second laboratory, and then have the home scientists attempt replication [2]. These approaches have resulted in much valuable information about LENR, despite less than perfect success. We seek replication of experiments, which have been reported to produce excess heat, by using a wider array of diagnostics than normally employed in LENR experiments. Eventually, we will try to reproduce experiments with palladium and heavy water using both the original Fleischmann-Pons loading method and the co-deposition of those two elements. But, initially, we have been performing experiments with nickel and light water, which were reported to produce heat in multiple early papers [3-6]. Those experiments have not been reproduced. Currently, we are using thermometry, and will switch to calorimetry, if our data indicate that we have achieved significant heat production. Our tools include Impedance Spectroscopy, Noise Spectroscopy, Optical Spectroscopy, Radio-Frequency Spectroscopy and Acoustic Spectroscopy, each over broad frequency ranges. While the eventual goal is to understand LENR, the first target is to understand our experiments quantitatively. This paper will report on the methods and spectroscopic and other tools being used and on the status of our work.

with Google translation you may get the essence of my emphasis on few presentations.
There is reference to a government funded program in China, LENR-Invest positive test of Brillouin technology, many experiments around Nickel, Palladium, and some theory.
Zhang Hang have a tiny positive result that does not convince Alan Smith as you can read...
David Nagel presentation is interesting is that it shows for me where the research should go, from simply trying to make an effect and measure it, to probe many parameters during the LENR process....
