Italian Contribution to LENR

  • Agree with that :thumbup:

  • Cardone et al. 2015. mercury ultrasound expts appear to be a one shot wonder

    spaghetti Western?

    It is fascinating to learn that ultrasound can also produce LENRs. Perhaps I will experiment with using it in conjunction with graphene, which is commonly used in speaker cones. The theory described in the paper is called DST, which also involves relativistic analysis. It seems that Italian researchers are particularly skilled at developing their own theories and techniques in this field.


    In LENRs, the particles other than electrons that are emitted are too heavy to generate significant amounts of EM radiation. This means that they cannot provide a primary source of heat or light in LENRs, unlike hot fusion or fission.

    Better is use carbon nanotubes, best double wall. Inner diameter 1..2 nm. If you want to dope them may be 3..4 nm.

    But be careful as carbon is instable and may produce a lot of radiation including neutrons.


    So for all carbon base CF a broad band neutron detector is mandatory!

    Thank you for your kind advice for carbon installation.

    The knowledge shared on this forum is valuable, and I believe that by sharing it, we can pave the way towards a brighter future for everyone. While we may not yet fully understand or agree on all aspects of the law, I hope that our collective efforts will lead us to become better learners and harness the power of LERNs as a potential source of energy.


    I hope that the laws of nature will allow for the development of this technology as a source of mass energy, and that it will lead to global peace in the end.

  • "An extensive multi-year experimental study was conducted to investigate the potential production of deuterium from titanium hydride (TiHx) powders subjected to specific thermal cycles. The results reveal an anomaly in the deuterium-to-hydrogen ratios. Mass spectrometry analyses show an increase in deuterium abundance, with three independent methods confirming the excess deuterium. This study was motivated by theoretical predictions suggesting the generation of slow neutrons within metal hydrides when exposed to coherent excitations. Our findings align with direct measurements of neutron emission by TiHx powders under cavitation in liquid water, as recently published by Fomitchev-Zamilov."

    This is a free download site for Max's paper, He will be at IWAhlm-16. The Neutron Emission level is remarkable, I must declare an interest here- I prepared the D2-loaded Ti powder - using a method I described fully in this forum.

    Abstract

    Possibility of nuclear reactions in solid state is intriguing for two reasons: (1) It provides a means of studying nuclear processes in conditions that are much different from traditional plasma-filled reactors or particle accelerators; (2) it dramatically lowers the cost and complexity of the experimental setups by eliminating the highly capital intensive components such as plasma/vacuum systems and particle accelerators. In this article we report the observation of neutron emission coincident with acoustic cavitation of deuterated titanium powder suspended in mineral oil. The resulting neutron emission was detected using an assembly of 3He proportional neutron counters. The peak neutron count rate was in excess of 6500 CPM, more than 10,000 times in excess of background. The observed neutron emission was coincident with the application of acoustic influence. The neutrons were present only when secondary acoustic waves originating from the complex bubble interactions inside the reactor constructively interfered resulting in massive, sharp pressure peaks on the order of a few thousand psi. We were able to sustain the neutron production for several hours and repeated the experiment multiple times under various conditions. We hypothesize that the observed neutrons originate from nuclear fusion of deuterium ions dissolved in titanium lattice due to the mechanical action of the impinging cavitation jets, although other processes (such as spallation) still need to be ruled out.
