ICCF21 Thread

Wyttenbach you don't want overly smart people in border security either. They will create blunders in a more mysterious ways look at the modern physics for examples.

Wyttenbach string theory including. QM with constant propaganda about the world getting increasingly complicated beyond any possibility of understanding.

factually world is getting better and better, but the lucky guys we are, are under control of salesmen of fear.

Good struggle with your respectives brain damaged system.

I and Gennady will sure follow reports by all present at ICCF21. Don't forget to report all blog entries about ICCF21 happening.

Jean Paul Biberian is making a report on what happens at ICCF21

Beside the unavoidable subjects, I found interesting there was an expert in metallurgy (Ashraf Imam)

Sunday June 3rd day 0 of ICCF21 at Fort Collins Colorado

Hello,

The 21st ICCF Conference on Cold Fusion will be held in Fort Collins, Colorado from Monday, June 4th to Friday, June 8th. The organizers have scheduled a first day on Sunday, June 3 open to students and those interested to learn about the subject of cold fusion.

This first meeting, as well as the conference, takes place at the Fort Collins University Campus. We are staying on site, and the place is absolutely remarkable, very modern, and extremely well maintained. I want to become a student here again ...

David Nagel made the first presentation: "Introduction and Issues", He is one of the two co-organizers of the conference with Steve Katinsky. He retired from the Navy, and teaches at George Washington University. He explained the situation of the cold fusion in the world, what was still to develop, and said that the major industrialists were in the starting blocks, ready to invest. One of the future limitations for applications is the word cold fusion, or LENR (Low Energy Nuclear Reaction) which contains the word nuclear and which may be a brake on public acceptance.

Mike McKubre , recently retired from SRI, made his presentation on "Electrochemical loading to produce the Fleischmann and Pons Effect". He suggested to newcomers to read first of all what is already published on the subject, especially the work done in the early years. Martin Fleischmann and Melvin Miles exchanged a lot by mail, and these letters were recently published by Jed Rothwell (lenr.org). These letters provide plenty of information to understand how to achieve a successful cold fusion experiment. He then reviewed in detail his own work indicating the conditions leading to success.

Jean-Paul Biberian , I exposed the results obtained by myself and other researchers on the "Gas Loading". I have shown that nickel of nanometric dimensions is of great interest. In particular, the nickel-nano and hydrogen pair give good results. During an ambient charging experiment of a Ni-Pd-ZrO2 powder, the temperature rose to nearly 400 ° C, and the energy produced was 47kJ much higher than a chemical process.

Dennis Letts talked about "Calorimetry and Heat". He detailed the different types of calorimeters he used: isoperibolic and Seebeck.He also showed his results with the use of two lasers to excite the surface of the palladium electrode. The frequency beat of these two lasers produces a signal in the THz range, and by scanning this frequency, peaks corresponding to phonon frequencies appear. He also discussed his work with plasma dumps in deuterium in a Seebeck calorimeter. He thus obtained excesses of 5 to 7 Watts.

Chino Srinavasan , exhibited the "Transmutations data". In some situations transmutations occur, especially with metals such as palladium, nickel and titanium charged with hydrogen or deuterium. He recalled the ancient works of George Miley and Mizuno who independently found similar transmutation products. He also recalled Georges Oshawa's experiments of electric arcs in water with carbon electrodes that produced iron. He also spoke about biological transmutations, and the recent conference on this subject that took place on May 18 in Korea.

Ashraf Imam spoke about "Materials Challenges". He is a specialist in metallurgy, and has been able to explain in detail the different types of defects found in metals, and the source of these defects created during their development, as well as the way to eliminate them by treatments. thermal. He talked about the palladium - boron alloys he made that gave excellent results. The information he gave me that struck me, and that the nickel-hydrogen reaction is endothermic, that is to say that we need to provide energy for it to be realized. Which explains my own results where the hydrogen does not enter the nickel nano at room temperature, but comes back heating.

Peter Hagelstein of MIT presented "Theoretical Considerations". He first recalled that there were hundreds of theoretical articles, but he was mainly interested in the initial work of Schwinger (1965 Nobel Prize in physics) and Préparata. He emphasized the coupling between energetic reaction and phonons. His recent experiments tend to prove that this coupling exists in both directions, that is to say, either transfer of the energy of a nuclear reaction in heat, or conversely passage of vibrations of the solid into gamma rays. He also explained that for him, gaps in the crystal lattice are needed for the deuterium atoms to fuse.

Dana Seccombe addressed the marketing issues of cold fusion. He recalled the global energy challenges that can not be solved with renewable energies. He mentioned the qualities of the cold fusion, and compared them to other sources of energy currently available.It is clear that LENRs will be much better in many areas. He also compared the situation of LENRs to the semiconductor industry.

The day ended with a reception of the participants.
