December LENR-Forum News.
Dear LENR-forum community:
On the final month of this history making year 2021 We are happy to bring you some exciting and uplifting news from the LENR trenches.
Google's Cold Fusion inspired patent application captures DoE's interest:
In spite of failing to reproduce classic Cold Fusion experiments, the Research Team funded by Google has kept working in the field and has produced interesting work. Besides having a preponderant role in late October ARPA-E sponsored LENR workshop, we recently became aware that a patent application in which Google Inc. was one of the initial Asignees at the moment of filing, was recently assigned to the US Department of Energy, thus marking a public interest in the results.
The patent application ( https://patents.google.com/patent/US20210151206A1 ) is not of "cold fusion" per se, but of a device for sourcing "fusion reaction products" that claims to be able to control the rate of fusion products obtained from classic high kinetic energy light elements particles collisions with low kinetic energy light elements particles, when it happens that the low kinetic energy particles are confined and diffused through a palladium electrode immersed in an electrolyte, and that the control of the rate of the fusion reactions can be exerted by controlling the bias voltage in the electrolytic cell (this may remind our members, to some extent, to the Lattice Assisted Nuclear Fusion claims of NASA).
The practical relevance of this invention is the acknowledgment that a lattice can play a role in enhancing classical fusion reactions, even if still requiring high energy particles involvement, and means that the basic premise of Pons and Fleischmann is recognized as having practical and research value, even enough to capture the public interest through the US Department of Energy. You can join the discussion of these interesting developments of Google's research team in the following LENR-Forum thread: Updates from Google on LENR research
Brazilian Nuclear Energy Researchers officially join the LENR field with a strong claim:
A team led by Dr. Luciano Ondir Freire (Instituto de Pesquisas Energéticas e Nucleares (IPEN-CNEN/SP), Nuclear Engineering Center, São Paulo, Brazil) has published recently in the Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry the review paper "Preliminary survey on cold fusion: It’s not pathological science and may require revision of nuclear theory". This extensive review paper has thoroughly assessed the 30+ years of LENR research to conclude that it is a valid and potentially ground breaking research field in spite of the controversy, and that it may lead to revise accepted nuclear models. Dr. Luciano Ondir participated in ICCF 23 as expositor with a Poster Presentation. You can join the discussion of this important paper at the following LENR-Forum thread: Brazil Joins the party- a survey of the LENR field.
Fan fueled frenzy of interest on controversial claims of Andrea Rossi climaxes as announced "SKLed" and "SKLep" demo date approaches:
December 9th is the date in which the demonstration of the SKLed and SKLep products will take place, a date long awaited by fans and foes of Andrea Rossi. The event will be transmitted live 3:00 pm Timezone Europe/Stockholm . We at LENR-forum will be hosting a thread for commentary and discussion of the live event and will post in it the link to the livestream as soon as it becomes available. May this be the moment awaited for so many and so long? We will find out together. Don't forget to join the discussion of this anticipated event at LENR-Forum.
That's all for now, don't forget to visit http://www.lenr-forum.com for much more in depth information and discussion of the LENR research and commercial development field!
Update: thread for discussion posted here.
