Dr. Max Fomitchev-Zamilov joins MFMP volunteer Bob Greenyer to discuss the formers journey that lead him to have potentially discovered an effective way to produce cavitation driven bubble fusion. After the discussion, plans for future work are discussed.

Quote from Cydonia

If there is no progress there will be nothing to summarize, right ?

Celani's way of updating is to merge and modify his paper.

It simply takes a bit more effort to find them.

An update was published by Francesco Celani as part of the CleanHME EU project.

It's a bit difficult to find the progress though, as Francisco does not summarize the progress since the previous version.

Informative accompanied text of their latest YouTube videos:

The visible-light concentrator thermophotovoltaic SunCell® (cTPV-SunCell) comprises a plasma cell that injects hydrogen and catalyst, and two electromagnetic pumps serve as electrodes by injecting intersecting molten tin streams from corresponding reservoirs wherein the connected streams carry a low voltage, high current to form a Hydrino®-reaction plasma with an energy release of 200 times that of burning the hydrogen that can be obtained from water as a 0.5% parasitic load.
Rather than horizontal injection as shown in the What’s New December 19th video [https://brilliantlightpower.com/tpv-s...], the injection is vertically inclined so that the injector nozzles can be positioned in the reservoirs away for the plasma zone. The elimination of direct plasma exposure prevents that tungsten nozzles from overheating and melting. Notice, the glowing injector nozzles of the December 19th video wherein melting of the tungsten injectors occurs in seconds unless the reaction power is decreased, or the radiative power transfer increased. Radiation transfers power at 10 to 100 times the power per area compared to conduction and convection of conventional base-load power sources such as combustion-powered and nuclear-powered ones. The 3000-5000K plasma emits radiation at a power density of 4.6 to 35 MW/m2, corresponding to an extraordinary 150 kW to 1.14 MW, respectively, transmitted through an 8-inch diameter window. The TPV-SunCell electricity can be used to power essentially all stationary electric and motive applications at about $0.001/kWh. It can also used as a heat lamp heater to power boilers to produce steam, power an air heat exchanger to produce heated air, and power commercial and industrial ovens and furnaces.

Rather random phenomena, difficult to control and handle....

Not only LENR progresses:

Nature paper describes the target and laser designs that achieved a burning plasma at Lawrence Livermore

Quote

A burning plasma state was achieved on November 2020 and February 2021 at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s National Ignition Facility (NIF), the world’s most energetic laser.

The work, which focuses on the designs that led to these results, is featured in the Jan. 26 issue of Nature

titled “Design of inertial fusion implosions reaching the burning plasma regime,” with LLNL physicists Annie Kritcher and Chris Young serving as lead authors.

“In these experiments we achieved, for the first time in any fusion research facility, a burning plasma state where more fusion energy is emitted from the fuel than was required to initiate the fusion reactions, or the amount of work done on the fuel,” Kritcher said.

On top of above publication, today a new USPTO patent application assigned to Clean Planet Inc has been published:

US20220026113

This is another implementation concept based on the metal stack principle seen in previous patent applications filed by Iwamura.

Abstract

A heat utilization system according to the invention includes: a sealed container into which a hydrogen-based gas is supplied; a heat generating structure that is accommodated in the sealed container and includes a heat generating element that is configured to generate heat by occluding and discharging hydrogen contained in the hydrogen-based gas; and a heat utilization device that utilizes, as a heat source, a heat medium heated by the heat of the heat generating element. The heat generating element includes a base made of a hydrogen storage metal, a hydrogen storage alloy, or a proton conductor, and a multilayer film provided on the base. The multilayer film has a first layer made of a hydrogen storage metal or a hydrogen storage alloy and having a thickness of less than 1000 nm and a second layer made of a hydrogen storage metal or a hydrogen storage alloy, which is different from that of the first layer, or ceramics and having a thickness of less than 1000 nm.

Quote from RobertBryant

Is Brillouin's boiler compilcated? I don;t think so...The main thing is to keep the

LENR tubes at the optimum temp... ~200 -300C or so

are fission energy boilers complicated?

https://patents.google.com/patent/US4158604

I think you mixed up Miura's filed concept with Brillouin's method (typo?)

Quote from Gregory Byron Goble

The boiler must not be simple in that it is unusual to have cold fusion in the middle.

Will it be granted?

As mentioned earlier, Iwamura does not mention LENR or cold fusion in his latest patent applications on purpose.

Thanks to Gregory Byron Goble who found this:

Quote from Gregory Byron Goble

US20210285634A1 *2020-03-162021-09-16 Miura Co., Ltd.Boiler

Above patent application was filed by Miura and cite (refer to) following Iwamura's patents:

JP6548102B2 (granted in Japan)

BR112019005909B1

There are two more boiler related patent applications filed by Miura that also refer to JP6548102B2.

WO2021187285A1

WO2021187286A1

This shows that cooperation is already ongoing for a longer period before the formal press announcement mentioning the cooperation between Clean Planet Inc and Miura (looking to the filing dates).

Quote from Shane D.

Putting it together, it sounds like Murray/Morris abandoned their efforts to have their patent granted. IH was still interested in pursuing it however (must have funded the research), and is now appealing directly to the USPTO. Does that sound plausible?

I looks like a very naive attempt to get a patent while Mizuno already had one in place with a similar approach and therefor prior art already accessible on their date of filing. Now, on top of it, references to LENR makes related claims refused by USPTO. So, they had two reasons to abandon this application.

Quote from RobertBryant

poetic justice for rubbishing Mizuno's reactor in court

Interesting to see IH is actively appealing.

This appeals relates to application 15/795,171.

InventorJulie A. Morris, Joseph A. Murray

Current Assignee INDUSTRIAL HEAT LLC IH IP Holdings Ltd

Mizuno's patent application mentioned here is currently assigned to Clean Planet Inc.

Note: this is only USPTO related

Edit:

As I read the appeal paper, IH objects to claims of their own patent application being rejected. They are not attacking Mizuno's or Kawamura's claims. As I read it, IH's claims are rejected. Because of these rejections it will also have impact on the US patent applications of Mizuno, Kawamura and others.

Essential is that these patent applications refer to LENR.

In general these reactions are not accepted by USPTO currently.

This may be why other applicants do not refer to LENR in their claims, e.g. Iwamura.

He probably learned his lesson from earlier rejections.

If I understand correctly SG gas is in fact purified oxyhydrogen.

Regarding pulsation, overvoltage may indeed create pulsating currents during electrolysis. This is also why I mentioned earlier in this thread can 's thread on low voltage plasma electrolysis.

Drgenek

I wonder why SG gas is not widely known.

What is your relation to the two inventors of SG gas producing method?

To stay a bit on topic, I am not sure zenner is applying pulsation in his setup.

(as required to produce SG gas).

Quote from Alan Smith

The 3 litre gas space above the liquid would sometimes show a sudden and quite large pressure drop and a simultaneous rise in temperature. Then I discovered that PTFE inhibits the recombination of monatomic hydrogen. That explains the effect (perhaps) but there was no explosion.

Why would there be pressure drop? It remains a gas.

Increased temperature would compensate for recombination when it comes to gas pressure. The H2 molecules move faster due to increased temperature compensating for the decreased number of particles in the volume.

There is only one effect I know of that could occur given the observations of Alan in his case (assuming there is no oxygen present): the formation of ultra dense hydrogen from atomic hydrogen condensation .
That would cause volume decrease and at the same time temperature increase due to the condensation energy.

(yes, I know, I am a bit biased when it comes to UDH )

zenner : would it be possible to make a short video showing the effect?

Also, have a look at @can 's thread on low voltage plasma electrolysis. Some of his videos may be illustrative.

Quote from RobertBryant

The rules can;t be too inclusive....patent protection by public patents is worth a lot

to companies..

True. The question also how long they want such patents secret. Could also be just for e.g. 5 years.

What about keeping essentials secret until Japanese companies create a competitive head start by allowing them to develop (consumer) products first before releasing the related patents and license programs? This is essentially what happens with the usual way of patenting. Normally there is an 18 month period where patent applications are not visible for general public. Sometimes this is not long enough to create a competitive head start. Keeping them secret for a longer period of time would solve that.

Quote from RobertBryant

Japan seems to be a bit late in secrecy..

perhaps it has more military stuff nowadays..

I don't think this is mainly to military applications only.

As they indicate 'patents with potential military applications'.

Almost everything can be hooked up to military applications.

This is probably much wider than specifically military applications. E.g. new energy technologies.

Gregory Byron Goble I would appreciate it if you don't clutter up every new thread with NASA - SPAWAR - DOD related stuff that is totally off topic.

What you call explosion could be hydrogen plasma flashback and therefore no oxygen required.

It may be worth keeping an eye on the original saffire website as well.

Here you can see more details about the team and technologies presented.

They have their own professional filmmaker, hence the glossy videos.

Please, keep this thread on topic, it's meant to discuss patent situation in Japan.
Before you post in this thread check the relevance of your post.
