WRT Curbina's recent post #463, are there any technical reasons that you think that LCF is promising??
Not necessarily as presented, but has opened a much needed window, and a Brazilian team of nuclear engineers has made a proposal of how this could be developed forward.
This arrived to mail inbox bin about an hour ago. Exploring the videos right now.
It turns out people are still developing this.

I was really interested years ago in what is called "Fresnel arrays" for solar concentrating power. Instead of using concentric mirrors (which are expensive to make) Fresnel arrays use a series of flat mirrors angled in a way that concentrates the light in a central pipe that heats the heat transfer fluid. It was much cheaper per Kw than all other concentrating solar systems.
This video was made by the MFMP with regards to the work of BJ Huang, Bob Greenyer asked him after Huang’s presentation at ICCF 22 if they had looked for transmutations associated to the excess heat and mechanical damage of the Vapor Compression system. Huang said they had not looked for it. After Huang’s presentation at ICCF 23, where Huang did present results that indicated they had looked for elemental anomalies, Bob reached out again to him and this resulted in Huang doing ULTR like experiments (with an ultrasonic cleaner) and he also saw signs of transmutation in these systems.
I am curious. How many members are hoping to attend ICCF-24?
I will virtually.
I have been following this very closely, Bin Juine Huang is also a member of LENR-forum, and he found evidence of transmutation in thin copper foil in, as many others have. I am really glad there’s a paper coming.
It’s really good for LENR that LCF is getting more and more attention.
There have been a few experiments of his concepts, but overall it sounds to me like this is almost all theory at this point with practical use far in the future. One thing I thought interesting was his being asked about ball lightning, and could they be related to the UAP's (UFO's)
You may enjoy a very long presentation that Bob Greenyer did more than a year ago about a coherent matter waves patent by Lockheed. It is a granted patent also.
Greetings to our members and readers. This month we have a lot of news to share with you about the events and developments taking place on the exciting world of LENR.
We have to lament the passing of Mr. Charles Entenmann the past 24th of Februry. Mr. Entenmann, unbecknownst to many, because of his own wishes to remain anonymous in this regard, as we now learn, was for decades a patron of LENR research and provided funding and support to many well known researchers in our field. The beautiful and surprising facts ladden obituary published by Infinite Energy ( https://www.infinite-energy.co…es/charles-entenmann.html ) makes justice to his great life and the invaluable contributions he made to the science of LENR. He will be sorely missed by so many.

Charles Entenmann (1929-2022)
This time is a column of Medium writer Will Locket on his blog Predict, who wrote the article "Has NASA Cracked Fusion Energy?" ( https://medium.com/predict/has…usion-energy-1eb79fb55178 ) With over 45 thousand subscribers, this blogger of cutting edge technological innovation has already got over 1.7 thousands positive reactions to this article and paints a positive, while cautious, picture about the possibility of the LCF approach to solve the long sought problem of fusion energy. Will Lockett perhaps fails to grasp the fact that LCF is taking an approach similar to the original concept of Fleischmann and Pons (certainly, many of his readers were quick and harsh to remind him, in the comments section), but coverage for the LCF approach is coverage for LENR, so we couldn't be happier about his positive overlook of NASA's efforts.
Already shaped to be a historic moment for the LENR Field, the ICCF 24, to take place at the Solid State Energy Summit in Next July, has opened registration at Early Bird rates. Different options for different kind of attendees and attendance formats are offered, starting from Free, for researchers and postdoctoral students, and USD 200 for online participants. LENR-Forum will be present at ICCF 24, we will enjoy the outstanding journalism of Ruby Carat and we hope to be able to send Alan Smith with the help of our readers, but more on that will be advised at the proper time.
You can proceed to register early to ICCF 24 in the following link:

As news of Norront Fusion (from Norway) filing for bankrupcy emerge, we are pleased to learn that the efforts to commercialize the technology will be continued by a new Swedish company called Lazerah. We really don't have much details about it other than some of the former Norront Fusion investors have migrated to this new Start Up and that Leif Holmlid has a key position as stake holder. We also know they are hiring research and technical staff. As more becomes known, we will inform our readers, you can find some of what little is known on the following thread at LENR-Forum.
lenr-forum.com/attachment/20535/
Our extremely efficient staff member Ruby Carat has compiled and sorted in one place all the information needed for getting fully up to date with the LEC and its ongoing status of development. The post is intended as a one place to go / quick reference guide for everyone interested in the science and replication of this fascinating technology.
You can find it in the following link: Frank Gordon / Harper Whitehouse - the LEC -collected papers
We now offer a LENR related calendar where our readers and members can keep an eye on the schedule of upcoming relevant events on the field of LENR and other related energy fields. The Calendar can be accessed through this link: https://www.lenr-forum.com/calendar/yearly/
Our Members are invited to submit events to add to the calendar, which will be reviewed by our staff before approva, to avoid abuse of this feature by spammers. Let's build this calendar together!!!
As We have steadily been improving trough the years, We now have a stable forum platform with around 4,000 members that promotes collaboration between those working in, or just interested to learn about LENR field, once called 'cold fusion'. We are sure that we can improve what we see as an important service to a controversial but very valuable science, and that we could offer this community new and improved functionality.
We reach out to our online community as we are looking for volunteers who could help us achieve these goals and upgrade our LENR forum offerings (web / software / newsletter etc.) and well as introduce new features, like video interviews and discussions which we have just begun to trial. We specially need people with skills on HTML and CSS. We certainly are looking for an Online Marketing Manager to join our team. Let's build a stronger online community for LENR together!!!
And that would be all for this edition. Stay tuned for more in our next regular newsletter, and whenever a flash news requires it, in our special topic newsletters.
Until the Next One!!!
The LENR-Forum Staff.
These patents are very interesting, and very early.
I have lab envy now, LOL, it’s coming along neatly!!! Congratulations Alan Smith !!!
Quantized inertia, Tesla, breacktrought in the unterstanding of electric field, Boeing, tested and validated on low orbit environments.
Sounds a bit like the EM drive, but I agree that confirming the millinewtons of thrust measured with an analogue system to avoid digital glitches was a clever move to gain support for the idea. However, I fail to see the relevance for this thread, perhaps you can explain Ahlfors ?
Display MoreThe neutron is not a fundamental particle and many know it. It served the QM model that was still being developed back then when the free neutron was discovered. There are so many ways of showing that the neutron is in reality an electron that resides between protons. (Bohr said so I believe during the 7th Solvay conference)
Even the mass calculation of the neutron is wrong. they simply (wrongly) added the mass defect value and/or the gamma ray emitted from a fusion, to the 'neutron' value while in fact it comes from two particles (protons) coming together and releasing all their relative energy in relation to each other.. Which they receive back when disintegrating again.... Not just one particle, both do. So that leaves me with the conclusion that Hydrogen 1 in fact is an "energized" system and this may well be why the electron does not "fall into the nucleus". More to come about this in the future...
Ruggero Santilli is other researcher that supports the idea that the neutron is a proton-electron pair.
Will see if I can retrieve that data, not possible from my mobile, when I get a chance will log in my desktop and take a look.
Well written article. NASA has attracted some attention with their LCF, but considering how significant this development is it has not gotten nearly as much as it deserves.
If you look at the comments section you will see a lot of backlash, they are facing the same, if not more, skepticism than the original work of Pons and Fleischmann.
Hi Stevenson
You could try the Am241 pellet from a smoke detector. 1 µCurie, 60 keV
Frank Gordon and Harper Whitehouse mention using exactly that in their patent, and it doesn’t work!
Display MoreToday I discovered something interesting.
I placed a small tube (6 mm OD, 13 cm long) of copper, close to a similar tube of aluminium (the gap was about 1 mm). The tubes were connected to a multimeter with a 10 MOhm impedance (copper to positive probe, aluminium to negative probe). As expected the resulting voltage was 0.0 mV.
Then I tried to ionize the air around the electrodes. The right way to do so should be to use a radiation source or a X-ray tube, taking care of not directly irradiating the metals (this would cause the photoemission of electrons).
Not having at hand an X-ray tube, I used two simpler (but not 100% equivalent) alternatives: a flame first and a corona discharge later, under the electrodes (a couple of cm below).
The flame does not produce ionization, but generate positive and negative charged molecules or radicals. The corona discharge actually generate some ionization.
The result was that when the flame or corona were turned on for a few seconds, the multimeter displayed a voltage, in the range 10 - 20 mV. This voltage was maintained for some seconds, even after the flame or discharge were turned off.
This experiment possibly demonstrate how the LEC generate the voltage: this effect is a kind of "gas pile". It is apparently very similar to an electrochemical pile, but it works with ions in the gas. The principle is quite intuitive, but I never heard of something similar actually!
BTW, I tried also to put under the electrodes also liquid water (without contact), boiling water producing steam and smoke. In all these cases no voltage was generated.
That was a great intuitive exploratory experiment! Thanks for sharing.
On another note when I try to cut paste text into my reply a box named "Code" comes up with the text. Appears to think I am entering computer code. How do I paste without this box?
Use the “quote” function instead, you can quote entire posts by selecting the quote option in the drop down menu (the three vertical dots in the right of every post header)
Or, alternatively, You can select a text and the options of “save quote” “insert quote” should appear in your screen if you are on a mobile.
If you choose insert quote, The text will be added to your reply, in quote format.
Hope this is nearly clear enough for being of use for you.
I appreciate the advice, my background is in electronics and radiation measurement, I am weak in chemistry. Clear description of how to go about the co deposition\plating process is helpful.
We are all learning here as we go, and I think I speak for many of us when saying that I also thank you for taking the hands on approach, of which each case is precious.
The basic idea is to keep in mind that in the current understanding of how the LEC might work, the effect requires hydrogen to get generated to give it a chance of getting absorbed by the metal being deposited. If there’s no water electrolysis, there’s no hydrogen to be absorbed.
Many of us here have been along for more than two decades and/or have been aware of the original work of Fleischmann and Pons which was with heavy water electrolysis to absorb deuterium in palladium, so we tend to take for granted that all of us know about this, which needs not to be the case.
