Well, as always such claims are as interesting as the way that they are supported on the public eye is meaningless. I wish they would give more details as how the process happens, from what one can read it seems to be based on some sort of cavitation produced by electricity. Will try to read the granted patent, but it often happens to be of little help when so few technical details are presented.

There’s a number of so called steady state models that imply no expansion and no big bang.

Before the glitch that forced to get back to an earlier version of the database, I had seen Frogfall answering my “while there’s not technical or economic reason for this,” with the reports where the issues of the inadequacies of Hastelloy for long term operation due to the Helium embrittlement and transmutations.
I am well aware of these issues that were in the very reports of the pilot plant at Oak Ridge, what I refer to is that the challenge to find better metallurgy was simply never addressed, it could have been well solved by now if it had.

Hello, thanks for posting this, we are well aware of this publication but we did not have a devoted thread for it, albeit it has been discussed at large in this thread where specific topics of calorimetry are debated The perpetual “is LENR even real” argument thread. starting somewhere around page 60-68.
Perhaps is a good thing you opened this thread.

What are your thoughts on this upcoming Thorium Molten Salt SMR from Copenhagen Atomics??
You had me at Thorium.
Jokes apart, knowing that the molten salt thorium reactors were tested extensively at the MW scale and even powered the only atomic powered aircraft ever built, all of this back in the 1960s, and we still don’t see them built massively while there’s not technical or economic reason for this, makes you wonder a lot of things.

Never understood this obsession with gold.
Anyway, out of having some intellectual fun I have thought of ways to use LENR to get certain elements from treating batches of concentrated solutions of cheaper salts as has been attempted to be patented by Dr. Ryushin Omasa. It requires a liquid based system as one has to circle the solution through one or more selective ion exchange resins that gets the desired product out of the mixture as soon as it is formed, to avoid it getting transmuted further. There are several ion exchange resins that have higher affinity for a reduced type of ions so this could be a way to “mine” stuff from a transmutation broth.

New Paper about succesful replication of Constantan-Deuterium excess heat with COP>3,5 published as a PrePrint by Dimiter Alexandrov.
He also reports higher temperature runs that resulted in explosive bursts of heat release with sudden release of estimated 3K+ Watts. These bursts caused the copper on the constantan to directly evaporate (not melt, so the estimate of the energy released is conservative) and leaving a fine copper residue over the insulators and dielectrics.
Ah, one can feel back in the good old days of succesful reports of Nickel Hydrogen like the ones of Piantelli and Focardi with results like these.
But in this case, Helium is also detected and correlated with the excess energy release. The author does a reasonable effort to rule out chemical / electrical origin. Thermometry is done by optical means, but with reasonable calibration and Nitrogen as Control.
Entering the Hot Case of Cold Nuclear Fusion
Abstract
It is shown in the paper that significant energy release for short time can be achieved in replicable experiments involving interaction of deuterium gas with constantan specimen. The experiments were carried out in a gas chamber where the injected deuterium gas having room temperature interacted with constantan wire heated by externally applied voltage: i) Many replicable experiments were performed at initial temperatures of the constantan wires in range 666C – 681C. The temperatures of the constantan wires began increase at ~8 seconds after the beginning of injection of the deuterium gas and additional increases with 358C – 382C for different experiments were reached at ~30 seconds. The released excess power was in range 183W – 209W and the density of the released excess power was in range ~114W/g – 130W/g. Helium release was observed. ii) Replicable experiments were performed at initial temperature 950C of the constantan wires. In all experiments, explosive evaporations of the wires occurred. The released excess power was greater than 3400W and the density of this power was at least 2280 W/g. The following conclusion can be done - the observed released power was of nuclear origin and it was not of either electrical or chemical origin.

No, the atmosphere has nothing to do with it! The atmosphere protects us from fireballs that measure a few tens of meters in diameter.
I did not mean it as protection, but as eraser and blurrer of the evidence through time.

fabrice DAVID , I see several round scars there. Soif it weren't for the atmosphere and the oceans, Earth would probably look as cratery as other celestial bodies.
-
And now, did you see this other large Scar?
This other overlaps partially with the smaller one, I see.

New version of the non official yet very useful book of abstracts compiled voluntarily by readers of New Energy Times. Updated with the official schedule and at least one new abstract that called my attention, as is it a rebuttal of an early dismissal of Fleischmann’s and Pons data by APS member Nathan Lewis.

This was in the Anthropocene Institute newsletter. Maybe the Anthropocene Institute and the Breakthrough Institute are the same thing? See:

Fusion Runs Hot and Cold
How the academy has gotten cold fusion wrong for over three decades
Jonah Messinger
We had already highlighted JonahMessinger ’s article, Shane D. posted it when it became available. AFAIK there’s no formal relationship but the Anthropocene Institute has decided already to focus on LENR as part of their push for nuclear energy as the only true way to achieve Net Zero, and that is why the article was mentioned in the Anthropocene institute newsletter.

My task was never to verify Fusion, just negative Muons. I can only verify and publish what i have detected and have solid data on. Pathway for Neutrons have several explanations. Fusion is the last of them.
Thanks for that clarification. So, from that perspective, is posible to deduce that after your experimentation, you don't support the claims of Holmlid about UDH and its potential for energy production? Or you have no further interest in the matter and don't intend to pursue it anymore?
-
Yes, i can verify, electron velocity, proton velocity, xrays and neutrons. No Muonic Xrays are detected from positive Muons using HpGe detectors with different materials.
So the emissions are electrons, protons and neutrons, which indicates fusion, but not muons? Or I am misunderstanding, and you are not detecting any emission at all so there's no fusion ongoing?
-
May be useful, New Energy Times compiled pdf of available ICCF 25 abstracts.
-
If Leif did produce Muons in the lab at the University most student and himself would have had serious health problems from all the radiation.
Thanks for your interactions hereq SindreZG , can we know if you have an Hypothesis or even if you hazzard a guess of what is what Mr. Holmlid and you also have produced and detected?

Hydrogen from current only makes in centralized places in conjunction with fuel cells that also produce process heat.
Electrolysis is going in direction of 90% efficiency (without cold fusion..) but fuel cells are still only around 50%. Any flow battery will give you a far better energy storage capability.
Green Hydrogen for other purposes is just faking the public as mots gas networks are not built for hydrogen...
Here’s the news from Porsche’s own website.
eFuels pilot plant in Chile officially openedPorsche and international partners working with the Chilean operating company Highly Innovative Fuels (HIF) have started the industrial production of synthetic…newsroom.porsche.comThis is on the other end of Chile, near the Magellan strait, there winds are so strong the challenge is to build something that won’t be blown away.

Very competent industry professionals without ulterior agendas have looked at this issue in detail. Most laymen don’t realize how difficult a problem intermittency is and the cost required both in economic and carbon terms just don’t work out. As a LENR developer of course we all want the same thing. Wind and solar simply are not a viable energy source for a vibrant civilization. Hence the push to find better alternatives.
I do not disagree. The push for green hydrogen is entirely a political matter. In my country there’s hype because someone claims to have found a way to create a liquid fuel with the hydrogen produced with windmills and Porsche invested a few thousand euros on a pilot plant. I think is pure hype as it all requires more energy than it will ever be stored in the liquid fuel, but as no one sees the balance and as wind is “free”, everyone is happy about it.
