This thread aims to discuss which different Hydrogen based LENR principles exist and how they might work.
By no means it will be complete from this initial post. It’s meant to gather insights and knowledge from forum members as a kind of ‘wishdom of the crowd’.
Proposed LENR principles:
- Metal lattice based
- Plasma based
- Others?
Metal lattice based.
Two sub categories:
– Metal lattice absorption of hydrogen atoms
– Collected condensed hydrogen (Ultra Dense Hydrogen) in defective lattice locations
Metal lattice absorption:
Example: NASA’s lattice confinement fusion.
Hydrogen atoms are stored within a metal lattice at a certain density.

Two effects:
- D-D fusions
- Metal transmutations
Collected condensed hydrogen:
Example: publication by Holmlid, Miley, Yang:
Source: Ultrahigh-density deuterium of Rydberg matter clusters
for inertial confinement fusion targets, Holmlid, Miley, Yang
Condensed Hydrogen is clustered at lattice defects.
Triggering may release high energy particles which in turn may cause fusion and/or transmutations.
See also other Ultra Dense Hydrogen publications by Holmlid.
Plasma based
– Mono gas type plasma
– Multiple gas type plasma
- Others?
Examples: Brilliant Light Power, Safire/Aureon
Mechanisms:
To be discussed.
