It appears to be a variation of the recent Mizuno experiments focused on verifying the effect of hydrogen flux, where Pd-coated Ni meshes (12) would be located both inside and outside a single-ended inner tube (6). The inner tube contains hydrogen at relatively high pressure, which slowly permeates into the outer vessel (5). The inner tube itself is also coated (plated) with Pd, although it's not clear which side (both?).

Curbina

My assumption was that the mesh would be prepared as in his previous Mizuno replication attempts, one of which described here:

https://www.lenr-canr.org/acrobat/ZhangHreproducti.pdf

From the diagram I mentally pictured a tube into which Ni mesh would be stuffed, surrounded by a cylindrical heating element wrapped by a few turns of another Ni mesh.

Maybe I am wrong but I see some similarity with a hollow anode patent application of Montgomery Childs (Aureon Energy) which indicates gas flow through the metal layer of such hollow cathode, although Zhang does not apply high voltage to obtain plasma.

mistranslation..

calcination... should be used instead of oxidation.. there is no oxygen present during this calcining..

as in

"multiple oxidation calcination can increase the excess heat power of hydrogen carrying metal.

... "in the case of our type of transmutation reactions, if we put calcium oxide onto the palladium thin-film, near the surface area, transmutation reactions occur, but if we use palladium only, we cannot observe a transmutation reaction.”

Iwamura

Calcium Oxide is a known H*/D* promoter...

This may be off topic, but has anyone looked at these nanotubes?

They can be loaded by atomic hydrogen/deuterium in a very high load.

https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1409/1409.4661.pdf

They also seem to be high temp super conductive.

Are patents and not sharing knowledge, a huge problem?

Should finding a new sustainable source of energy be more important than fame and money?

Can someone please look at the VO2 nano tubes, think condition for D-D fusion (if possible in lattices) are ideal inside of them.

-in 5 minutes the tubes are full loaded with hydrogen (near 100% saturation but not tested with deuterium).

-Hydrogen atoms are aligned in a sine inside the tubes.

-And loaded tubes are high temp super conductive.

All the things are seen in lenr reactions.

I don’t have the equipment or knowledge to do tests with them!

Quote from r.hellenbrand

Are patents and not sharing knowledge, a huge problem?

A patent is a way of sharing information. The patent must describe how to replicate to a "person having ordinary skill in the art" (PHOSITA), or the patent will be ruled invalid. So, "patents" and "not sharing knowledge" are opposites. A patent shares all relevant knowledge. Researchers not sharing knowledge is a big problem in this field, but if they would file for patents more often, the problem would be fixed.

Quote from Alan Smith

Ed has delayed giving full details of his surface preparation methods

there are a myriad ways to get nanomaterials

which ones are optimal for LENR

will require systematic testing and plenty of $..

and teamwork

this article is for palladium alone..

2.2 Physical Synthesis Techniques

Physical synthesis techniques involve the use of metal precursors that are not chemically changed, but rather undergo molecular rearrangements where no new substances are created, nor chemical bonds cleaved or forged. Pd and Pd-based nanomaterials synthesized by this technique include nanoscale films, nanoparticles, nanowires, and nanorods. This broad range of fabrication techniques includes sputtering,(-36-51) ion or electron beam deposition,(49, 52-57) and laser ablation.(58-66)

through Metal Experiment is very important for transmutation reactors

is very important for transmutation because it has less heat generation so it can be thinner.

Original schemanti by Iwamura use D2 gas but D2 gas generate heat so it has less efficiency

cause of thansmutation is small D2 so need to be cooler to prevent cold fusion.

THe original schematisc is incorrect.

Fig23 is the correct schematics

Fig36 is the proposed conceptualized Cold Fusion Reactor

for transmutation with H2(smmall H2=die-neutron)

Quote from Curbina

can , I get the idea behind the experiment, is diffusion trough metal due to pressure differential, the part that is not clear is the position of the “nickel palladium“ mesh, nor how it is prepared (are we to assume is the same preparation than in the so called Mizuno recipe?).

I think this is (very broadly) similar to the recently published NASA paper of diffusion through palladium. I think this “reactor” should be analyzed for morphological anomalies that could be analyzed for transmutation.

Diffusion through thin Pd is like CP patent.

it is to eject 4He ash at the surface T site.
