Bruce-H .. read Takahashi , Kasagi, Mizuno Iwamura
and then from the USA try reading Michael Staker.. for a start
Why? Because I want to know if LENR is a real phenomenon.

The anomalous heat effect (AHE) by the interaction of hydrogen-isotope-gas and
nickel-based nano-composite samples as Pd-Ni/zirconia (PNZ) and Cu-Ni/zirconia
(CNZ) powder samples at elevated temperatures around 300 °C has been studied
intensively [1,2] under the NEDO-MHE project in 2015-2017 [3], for verifying the
existing of the phenomenon and finding conditions of excess power generation in
controllable way. As reviewed in ref. [4], the 8 year-long (2008-2015) series of study
on AHE by interaction of metal nanoparticles and D(H)-gas under the collaboration of
Technova Inc. and Kobe University has become the basis for the collaborative research
of NEDO-MHE. The AHE phenomenon has been replicated by independent
experiments at Tohoku University as well as at Kobe University under the collaboration
study of the NEDO-MHE project [5, 6, 7]. Observed excess thermal power level of
AHE were on the level of 3-20 W, and more enhancement was required for industrial application.

Permeation-induced transmutation phenomenon, which is completely different
from conventional transmutation by nuclear reactors or accelerators, was first reported in
2002 [2]. D2 gas permeation through a nano-structured multilayer thin film composed of
Pd and CaO thin film and Pd substrate with a target element induces nuclear transmutation
reactions [3]-[6]. The temperature of the Pd complex is typically 70°C and the pressure
of D2 gas is 1 atm. Permeation-induced nuclear transmutation reactions were firstly
observed at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and were successfully replicated by other
institutes such as Toyota R&D center [7]. Typical target element is Cs and produced
element is Pr. Transmutation reactions of Sr, Ba, W into Mo, Sm, Pt were also observed
by this method. It seemed that 2, 4 or 6 deuterons make fusion with the target materials.
In this research, deuterium diffusion through nano-sized multilayer thin film was a key
factor and the elemental analysis was important technique

Abstract
We have developed an improved method of producing excess heat with nickel mesh coated
with palladium. The new method produces higher power, a larger output to input ratio, and it
can be controlled effectively. With 50 W of input, it produces ~250 W of excess heat, and
with 300 W it produces ~2 to 3 kW. This paper is a comprehensive description of the
apparatus, the reactant, and the method. We hope this paper will allow others to replicate the
experiment.

The magnitude of excess heat (Figs. 21 and 22) confirms Fleischmann–Pons heat effect from nuclear origin.
The amount of excess heat per cubic centimeter of Pd (150 MJ/cm3) or per Pd atom (14 000 eV/atom) is too large for a chemical reaction, which produces energy per atom less than 2 eV/atom.
