Hero hydrogen will create a new industrial revolution..
the time for Hero is now the itime for Hydrogen is now...
let's reintroduce science back into the debate
some calorimetry would be nice.
Off topic but can anyone comment on these videos?
35'000 volts is 3-4 times ITER temperure... Why should he see no fusion? If you are eager to kill yourself the just retry.

Hi Sam. Making Neutrons like this is not a surprise. The classic example of high-voltage neutron production are the 'Sternglass' experiments. But systems like this will also produce a shit-load of X-rays and sometimes experimenter do get confused about exactly what kind of emissions they are seeing.
X-rays
Neutron detection/measurement is not easy..even ninety years after discovery...
sorting out the technical issues takes money and time.and some electronics nouse
the fusor researchers need to have all three.. and some radiation protection.
35'000 volts is 3-4 times ITER temperure.
Apparenty one has achieved lots of neutrons at only 5000V....but that needs replication..
The fusor forum fusor.net has expertise on neutron detection. and on vacuum technology... such as turbopumps and also is a source of equipment
which may be useful for LENR researchers... no calorimetry though.. their focus is neutrons... not heat.
The researchers are well aware that the collision method they use for fusion( as well as ITER's) are unlikely ever to produce net useful energy output.
I myself am a neutronophobe... I might contemplate a neutronfree LENR reactor in my garage.... but not a fusor... no HV for me.
"
Initial experiments produced around 8x10^6 fusions per second with only 65 Watt, giving a Q of 7 x 10^-8.
The apparatus accelerates deuterium ions through a potential of only 5 kV
which raises questions about our current understanding of nuclear fusion."
I was recently approached by a Star Scientific shareholder to invest. I'm skeptical, but don't understand the science very well. Any thoughts on the prospects for this company and its science you could share to a layman? Thanks.
I think Star is an interesting company, and possibly quite well funded, but I am a little unsure about the dual nature of their claims. What are they - a fusion business or a hydrogen business?
On the topic of 'hero hydrogen' there's little new there that I can see. High temperature recombiners for hydrogen /oxygen have been in use in nuclear power plants for decades. I suspect that in that demo video Star were using a low concentration of hydrogen with air, not oxygen - as temperatures apporach 500C oxy-hydrogen mixed gas will auto-ignite and the guy watching the demo would be picking pieces of glass out of his beard for weeks afterwards.
Here's a slightly more academic look at high-temperature recombiners - no magic required, this is just materials science.
ETA- investment advice - as always DYOR. My advice, not for widows and orphans, this is one for your left-over beer money.
Have you ordered the financials from ASIC?
I have looked at the financials - lots of red flags in my opinion.

Well, if the financials are poor, and the tech uncertain, you have your amswer.
I would only add that it’s worth considering very carefully the issue of equity dilution over time. Were one considering an investment, then I’d want to collect all the financials for as far back as possible, and calculate the cumulative dilution to a common stock investor over that period. I would guess that it’s not insubstantial.
they dilute every year plus require loans with related parties every year to keep business going. Without issuance of new shares each year and loans from related parties like Horvath, the comapny would be insolvent.

Some people have been able to keep shows like that for years. If you are not capable of assessing the technical aspects by yourself or someone trusted, then better stay away.
