Maybe this is an easier way to produce them.

This process would create a VO2 nanotube–graphene hybrid.
I read VO2 tubes could also block heat, and could be interesting for window coatings.
But I did not see an application (foils) yet.

Hi Alan,
You can buy VO2, but normal VO2 doesn't have the nanotube structure!
@ gerold, in the paper under methods they describe how to produce them (page 20).
https://scholarship.rice.edu/b…/1409.4661.pdf;sequence=1
You need a vacuum chamber and in this chamber you need to vaporise V2O5.
You have to create a little flow and the vaporised vanadium will create these tubes on a waver of silicium.
Ron
Hi,
Inside the VO2 tubes the saturation level is almost 100%, the paper does prove this.
The atoms are also aligned in a row.
According some theories how try to explain lenr, are this the perfect conditions.
I real hope someone has the equipment to test this material!
I simply don’t have the equipment an knowledge to do it myself.
Ron
This is also an interesting material to store atomic hydrogen/ deuterium!

Not yet commercial available and I don't have the equipment to make these tubes myself 
Ron
Hi Alan,
Unfortunately, I don’t have the tools to make VO2 nanotubes myself and experiment with it.
But I think VO2 nanotubes is a material in where the lenr reactions can happen.
Atomic hydrogen does defuse inside the tubes, and this way you get a row of hydrogen.
Loading of the material is very high and it can be checked.
The hydrogen can only move in one direction because the VO2 grid (tube) limits movement.
This are the conditions described in several models made to explain lenr!
I hope VO2 nanotubes are soon commercial available.
Automotive industry is interested in it to use it as a windscreen coating to block heath.
So maybe soon VO2 films are available,….
Ron
Maybe this paper is also interesting!
Hydrogen Treatment for Superparamagnetic VO2 Nanowires with Large Room-Temperature Magnetoresistance
Yes, if anyone please could try VO2 nanotubes!!!
I can’t produce and load them with atomic deuterium myself, don’t have the equipment for it.
The material will be very high loaded and atoms are locked inside the vanadium and can only move in one direction (like seen in lenr reactions).
Think in a magnet field the deuterium can also be activated by Larmor frequency (apply RF energy).
Or maybe load the tubes with a combination of deuterium and tritium, and apply a second Larmor frequency for tritium,…
If lenr exist, it must be possible to see it in this material, it has all the conditions to produce this reaction!
Ron
VO2 Nanowires do also lower resistance above a certain temperature
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.co…df/10.1002/anie.201603406
And they can store atomic hydrogen!
How can pay it, that’s exactly the point!
If energy stays a property from multinationals even fusion will not solve the world energy problem.
But maybe I’m to ideologic and naïve.
Ron
Cold fusion should be available for everyone!
Very bad if it is patented,..
Just thinking.
Would the magnetic proporties of nickel explain (nickel is magnetic) why "fusion" is only seen at the outside of the lattice????
Ron
At lower fields the frequency gets lower, not higher!
See the lookup table Larmor frequencies @ 5.8717, 7.0460, 9.3947, 11.7434 and 14.0921 Tesla:
http://web.mit.edu/speclab/www/Facility/nmrfreq.html
In earth magnetic field the frequency is very low few kHz, but too weak to do anything.
A relative high field is needed to put some energy in the hydrogen, deuterium, tritium,...
Ron
This material seems also be very interesting to store hydrogen in an atomic form!
Maybe, someone should test it,..
But bandwidth is very small, you should exactly hit it, maybe apply a wave with a little sweep around the expected larmor frequency, or change the magnetic field a little.
There is also a resonance frequency for electrons.
Ron
In a given magnetic field you can bring a part of the nuclei in a higher state (spin) by applying RF power.
For hydrogen the frequency is 42.58 MHz/T (common used in MRI scanners).
This effect is called the larmor frequency
http://mriquestions.com/who-was-larmor.html
The frequency is for every isotope different, see this table of high field scanners
http://web.mit.edu/speclab/www/Facility/nmrfreq.html
What I see in the old cold fusion reactors are sparks and electricity.
Sparks are like dirac pulses, and do contain all RF frequencies and currents do make magnetic fields.
So it is likely that sometimes this combination hits the exact larmor frequency.
If this triggers fusion how knows,,...
Ron
Hi Alan,
Would like to make a 500 euro donation.
I know it is not what you need to continue all the good work, but maybe others will follow 
Maybe you could start a crowdfunding?
It would be great if others could buy deuterium prepared diamonds, or prepared nickel crystals from you.
To have a common source would doing replications a lot easier and cheaper!
Ron
The use of lithium is a good idea. The pressure needed to compress lithium into the lattice of the diamond generating an ultra dense form is 1/4 of that required for hydrogen. Lithium use will increase the odds of producing viable LENR fuel by a lot and do it much faster.
Lithium becomes tritium if it is hit by a neutron.
Tritium with deuterium in the most likely fusion reaction!
Ron
Dear all,
Would like to react on the waveforms and what could happen.
In the lookingforheat Model T test kit (http://www.lookingforheat.com/…enr-test-kit-mk1-model-t/ ) the current through the heater coil is adjusted by a PWM power stage.
This type of power stage makes a lot of Electromagnetic noise (harmonics).
The temperature is controlled by a PID controller, and it will switch the PSU mains off if the temperature is reached.
The PSU voltage will not drop directly, caused by the discharging time of the PSU capacitors.
If the voltage drops, the current through the heater (and magnetic field in the reactor) will also drop.
The PWM will still work during the PSU discharge time (maybe 2-3 second) and will still produce more or less the same harmonics.
Deuterium can be activated by the Larmor frequency, for deuterium this is just 6.54 MHz/T.
I think it is possible that a harmonic of the PWM in a dropping magnetic field can hit the deuterium Lamor frequency.
This would also explain why you must cycle the heather temperature to wakeup the reaction.
Ron
Interesting papers!
Thanks,
Ron
We are talking about this kit?
http://www.lookingforheat.com/…NR-MODEL-T-BUILD-BOOK.pdf
The heather current is a 15Khz PWM signal, and the mains of the power supply is switched off and on all the time (depends on the temperature).
You induce RF by the on and off switching @ 15Khz (PWM), and average current trough the heating element depends on the supply voltage and PWM setting.
The field also changes if the supply is turned off, supply will drop rapidly under 36V
We have magnetic field variations and RF noise reaching the reactor.
For a replication there are a lot of unknown factors
Ron
