    I've taken many notes, but not sure if it is better than the abstracts, so I write just some teaser.

    NB: most of the paper are teamwork, please read the abstract to understand who participated to what was presented.


    The presentation of JP Biberian

    https://iccf25.com/conf-data/iccf-25/files/ICCF25-book-of-abstracts_final.pdf#page=14

    interested me much as it is experimental. He worked on 3 calorimeters, with quartz cell working up to 100°C, and the latest tries to increase power and temperature per watt by increasing thermal resistance (insulation), with 800g sample above 750°C. It seems to works well. Jacques Ruer worked on the design, to approach self sustainability.
    previous calorimeter showed good results with a NiCu alloy base on nano Talcite (it is a common industrial compound, he explained), with hydrogen (1H).

    smaller version showed power like 6W/100g powder, around 750°C... there seems to be a threshold around 350°C for the reaction.

    Latest calorimeter show "encouraging" results, which seems to be the scientific term for "it works well, I alm happy, but let's check first I did not make a mistake".
    It results are confirmed, and as I understand, replications may be interesting...


    Presentation by J Kasagi (team involving Clean Planet and Tohoku University)

    https://iccf25.com/conf-data/iccf-25/files/ICCF25-book-of-abstracts_final.pdf#page=14

    explains who they improved measurements on their NiCu+ H2/D2 nanomaterial, to measure photons in the IR (Fourier Transform IR) and UV range, to confirm heat measurement, and eventually detect strange gacts, like heat burst, short term oscillations, strange electrons behaviors...
    The measure heat at desorbtion and quite much, for H2 and D2 (few MeV/atom sometime).


    Peter Hagelstein representing Melvin Miles

    https://iccf25.com/conf-data/iccf-25/files/ICCF25-book-of-abstracts_final.pdf#page=15

    explained the challenges and history of He4 measurement versus the heat... Very technical, but to read if you plan to measure He4.


    Kang Zhou

    https://iccf25.com/conf-data/iccf-25/files/ICCF25-book-of-abstracts_final.pdf#page=15

    Explained the unknow about the source of energy considered for some earthquakes, and proposes it may be LENR, and why it is possible (some reaction producing hydrogen, and metal hydrures).


    Franz Tanzella

    https://iccf25.com/conf-data/iccf-25/files/ICCF25-book-of-abstracts_final.pdf#page=16

    presented the calorymetry used to measure the performances of Brillouin reactor elements, from DC power to heat.
    Not so simple because of the complex pulse electronics.

    It's overunity from DC to heat, but not great as told in the presentation (numbers like 1.15).


    Takeito Hito presented the work their team did (involving Clean planet and Tohoku university)

    https://iccf25.com/conf-data/iccf-25/files/ICCF25-book-of-abstracts_final.pdf#page=16

    where they measured photons (UV, Xrays, IR, visible)from their LENR experiments.
    Analysing the transiends during heat burst, they discovered some precoursor events just before burst, that happens even during a burst.
    A subject of further research !

    Dimiter Alexandrov

    https://iccf25.com/conf-data/iccf-25/files/ICCF25-book-of-abstracts_final.pdf#page=17

    Presented experimental results that seems to support his theory on constantan wires heated with hydrogen.

    Using contactless thermography, he found a temperature threshold that match what he proposes theoretically.


    Shinya Narita

    https://iccf25.com/conf-data/iccf-25/files/ICCF25-book-of-abstracts_final.pdf#page=18

    presented the work done at Iwate University, with excess heat observed

    during H2 ou D2 desorbition in pd foils with various multilayers of PdNi, PdZr, NiPdZr, PdAg, PdTi.

    Layers were added through Argon+ ion sputtering, about 100nm thick.

    They observed also sample deformation, and proposed a theory to explain it, a phase transition of the H inside the Pd, leading to condensation and then LENR.


    David Nagel

    https://iccf25.com/conf-data/iccf-25/files/ICCF25-book-of-abstracts_final.pdf#page=18

    explained how he observed some strange coincidences about the isotopic transmutations resonance curves in unrelated experiments, the Widom-Larsen Optical Model, and the compilation of transmutations results made by Edmund Storms.

    Something unexpected to understand ...


    Volodymir Vystoskii

    https://iccf25.com/conf-data/iccf-25/files/ICCF25-book-of-abstracts_final.pdf#page=19

    described an experiments where heat waves at about 80MHz propagates to excite LENR, and have been generated by ultra sound and cavitation bubbles.

    He3 and electrons are detected.


    Harishyam Kumar

    https://iccf25.com/conf-data/iccf-25/files/ICCF25-book-of-abstracts_final.pdf#page=19

    presented a theoretical work at Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur.

    They created a simplified toy model for LENR, to see if it could be explained by a two step interaction, one at the chemistry level, on ate the nuclear level.

    It would not explained LENR in the vacuum, but introducing constraints like in condensed matters, let some possible reaction rate to be expected.

    With this good preliminary results on the toy model, they plan to work on a more realistic model.


    Florant Metlzer

    https://iccf25.com/conf-data/iccf-25/files/ICCF25-book-of-abstracts_final.pdf#page=20

    presented a collaboration in the context of Arpa-E strategy.

    Their goal is to obtain irrefutable evidences, considering the field is stuck, with better evidences required while funding is missing.

    Possible results may be excess heat above any possible chemistry, but it can always be dismissed. Otherwise good nuclar evidences, like neutrons, gamma, charged particle, istotopic shifts may convince.

    They work on replicating some experiments, that is well defined, banal conditions, with active collaboration, and unambiguous products, to expect an chance of success.

    They currently chose a gaz loading experiments with laser excitation, as replicated by Mastromatteo and JP Biberian already, producing neutrons, gamma, morphological changes and isotopic anomalies...

    They consider some theoretical questions, the possibility of quantum coherent processes, transfer of energy in coupled oscillators, and connect their research to other research like quantum "superchemistry".


    Tomotaka Kobayashi

    https://iccf25.com/conf-data/iccf-25/files/ICCF25-book-of-abstracts_final.pdf#page=20

    presented work at Waseda University.

    They tried to improve some experiments on Ni powder , by simultaneously applying pressure and heating.
    It is improving the excess heat, and they work on a design of compression engine.


    Francesco Celani

    https://iccf25.com/conf-data/iccf-25/files/ICCF25-book-of-abstracts_final.pdf#page=21

    presented the work ar INFN for CleanHME project around the constantan wires.

    they worked to simplify the design of their experiments, by basing the electronic on commercial and simple components,

    and to make the treatments of the constantan wires more simple,

    so it can be less expensive and easier to replicate.

    It works, and they observed that the negative pusle excitation of their wires, is the most efficient, and exchange with M Staker make them consider it may be related to Super Abundant Vacancies theory of LENr as M Staker proposes. The way the constantan wires is placed make it looks like a coaxial line.

    It appears the 0.45g of constantan produces currently up to 40W of excess heat.


    NB: It is jus teasers, so you wait for the papers that will be published in JCMNS, or ask the authors as presented in the abstract book.


    hard day.

    This is why people are so susceptible to believing (or just accepting) bulls*it, as long as it is conveyed in a polite, lucid-sounding, and authoritative manner.

    No need of LLM for that, I've observed that the same article, rewrittent by a mainstream journall was looking much less partial and geek...
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cathedral_and_the_Bazaar (juste the initial article, not the book)...


    in a way, a LLM is like this friend who have a great culture but sometime just fails, but with talent.
    Neural network are so human... :D I've so much empathy for them.

    Challenge to create a next-generation clean energy


    infrastructure...Clean Planet Co., Ltd. Column Clean Planet Co., Ltd. is a start-up company aiming to be the first in the world to put "quantum hydrogen energy" into practical use. In the wake of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, he was founded in 2012 by a group of scientists who believed that GX (Green Transformation) was the most urgent revolution for mankind. Quantum hydrogen energy is a technology originally developed by the company, which uses cheaply available nickel and copper as nanoscale metal composites. By occluding a small amount of hydrogen at high density, it utilizes the exothermic reaction that occurs in the process of quantum diffusion of hydrogen. Its heat generation density is more than 10,000 times that of city gas, and it has been confirmed in basic experiments that heat generation continues for a long time without refueling. Through joint research with Tohoku University, he has also completed a demonstration machine, and from 2021 he is currently working with Miura Industries Co., Ltd., a major boiler manufacturer, to jointly develop an industrial boiler that uses quantum hydrogen energy. The thermal module equipped with quantum hydrogen energy, which Clean Planet is currently developing, is considering a versatile design so that it can meet the heat supply needs of various industries other than boilers. A "safe, stable, and inexpensive" heat source that does not emit carbon dioxide, which causes global warming, or radiation that is harmful to living organisms, and does not depend on fossil fuels, etc., is a promising next-generation clean energy that supports GX. Expectations from the market are also rising, and as of January 4, 2023, it is ranked 8th in the domestic startup valuation ranking (January 2023 Four Startups survey) (valuation value is 145.7 billion yen). If quantum hydrogen energy is implemented in society, expectations for it as an innovative clean energy source will increase for Japan, which is poor in energy resources. So far, we have applied for 182 patents in Japan and overseas, and have obtained 69 patents in 21 countries around the world (by April 2023). month). Of these, 28 (2 domestic, 26 overseas) are basic patents that include the principle of heat generation using quantum hydrogen energy. We are also focusing on intellectual property strategies such as comprehensive acquisition of areas. While the decarbonization movement is rapidly progressing around the world, the practical application of quantum hydrogen energy, which does not emit CO 2 and does not burden the environment, has the potential to bring about an energy revolution from Japan to the world. .

    This guy is fantastic, I discovered his video about human communication. We should all watch and rewatch this video to communicate better.

    张航工程师激光氘(氢)钯实验最新进展


    美国陆军工程研究与发展中心冷域研究实验室(CRREL)在2023年3月份公布了一项结果,它是法国Biberian(Proc. ICCF23, 2021)和意大利Mastromatteo (JCMNS19:173, 2016)相同实验的重复,具体实验是使用激光照射钯氢(Pd-H)系统激发核嬗变。



    秋然实验室使用类似试验方案和装置重复了上述实验,所不同的是激光源为二氧化碳激光,用它照射一个特定的钯氢(Pd-H)系统,具体来说是充有一定压力氢气或者氘气的密封腔中的钯金属片。通过表面电镜分析,在照射后的钯中发现了新元素,提示照射过程中可能产生了核嬗变。相关实验结果的验证、定量分析和机制机理研究有待进一步开展。

    Summary

    The US Army Engineering Research and Development Center Cold Region Research Laboratory (CRREL) announced in March 2023 the results of the same experiment in Biberian France (Proc. ICCF23, 2021) and Mastromatteo Italy (JCMNS19:173, 2016). To repeat, the specific experiment was to excite nuclear transmutation using laser irradiation of a palladium-hydrogen (Pd-H) system.


    Qiuran's laboratory repeated the above experiments using similar test schemes and devices, the difference is that the laser source is a carbon dioxide laser, which is used to irradiate a specific palladium hydrogen (Pd-H) system, specifically filled with a certain pressure of hydrogen gas or A palladium metal disc in a sealed chamber of deuterium gas. Through surface electron microscopy analysis, new elements were found in the irradiated palladium, suggesting that nuclear transmutation may have occurred during the irradiation process. The verification, quantitative analysis and mechanism research of relevant experimental results need to be further carried out.

    As I understand from far, stating that QM and QFT exclude LENr effect is a bit prelature, as our mastering of QM/QFT in complex multibody systems is not total.

    By the way, When I was reading papers one thing shocked me, between LENR and hot fusion or even fission.

    (Please forgive my ignorance)


    It seems that

    1/ LENR results mostly ends with low energy outcome, and

    2/ energy is dissipated in low quanta...

    I've learned basic QM in the domain of semiconductors, and this behavior recalls me two phenomenons/situations:


    Dr Storms made a good argument about the experience of Iwamura in thin film; where heavy atoms seems to absorb pairs of deuterons, but only to stable outcome.


    When a quantum isolated system is in a state above it's lowest energy state, it may radiate, disintegrate spontaneously, and the outcome is necessarily made of more stable results. This happens for nuclear spontaneous radioactivity, or for electrons desexcitation...

    Note also that sometime, the emission may be stimulated and coherent as MASER/LASER.

    It reminds me of the THz excitation by dual LASER (even if some states that it may just allow higher peak power because of beat effect).


    When many quantum systems like atoms are regularly associated like in a crystal, the energy level of the system obey a dense structure that allows very small quanta, if not simply heat.



    The question if it is KeV band structure, or even e degenerated band like conduction band... (I'm not competent enough to see how semiconductor band structure could be adapted to a LENr system)

    Lecture 2 OUTLINE Semiconductor Fundamentals (cont'd) – Energy band model –  Band gap energy – Density of states – Doping Reading: Pierret , 3.1.5; -  ppt download


    For my naive eye, LENR show the system is a large group of quantum system, regularly organized, that is excited by the fact that fused hydrogen nucleus (helium/H3/H4) are in a lower energy state than unfused hydrogen...


    I admit this makes me consider Hydroton theory, Fukai phase (Super Abundant vacation), and 4QD with a favorable eye... I let the experts criticize each of those theories.

    Note that whatever it is, a mW of energy is enough to run some microcontrollers... Just add a supercapacitor to work in burst mode, and you can be very useful.

    It seems that with just a mW you could run this controller at 1MHz, and just 10µW would allow it to sleep not too deeply...

    LLM are maybe the bricks of something new

    Greg Gobble reported me a news about ARPA-E funding of LENR:

    UC Berkeley just announced they are the lead of the ARPA-E LENR Program. Google Inc LENR patent inventors are head of the team. Odd... No mention of Google.


    He wrote an article on linked-In

    Jeremy Munday developed two LENR patents for Google Inc during Project Charleston. Thomas Schenkel developed two more recent LENR patents, at LBNL. The Department of Energy and Google Inc. are assignees of these. Now they are working together leading the ARPA-E LENR efforts. I expect these Google Inc. patents will be of significance to the success of the ARPA-E Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions Program.

    News Release UC Berkeley

    Berkeley Lab to Lead ARPA-E Low Energy Nuclear Reactions Project By Carl A. Williams, March 29, 2023 from the Accelerator Technology & Applied Physics (ATAP) Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) are collaborating with colleagues from the College of Engineering at the University of California, Davis on low-energy nuclear reactions (LENR) research.The project, titled “Quantifying Nuclear Reactions in Metal Hydrides at Low Energies,” is supported by $1.5 million in funding over two and half years from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E). It aims to quantify LENR processes at excitation energies below 500 eV while systematically varying materials and conditions to monitor for fusion event rates. To achieve this, says Thomas Schenkel, a Senior Scientist who heads ATAP’s Fusion Science & Ion Beam Technology Program and is leading the research, “we will use a relatively low-energy ion beam as an external excitation source for LENR on palladium hydride samples loaded with deuterium—a stable isotope of hydrogen that also contains a neutron—and then quantify any LENR events using a suite of diagnostic tools.”

    The work, he added, will leverage Berkeley Lab’s expertise in particle accelerator physics and ion beams that are used for higher-energy fusion experiments, as well as UC Davis’s expertise in metal hydrides and optics.Schenkel’s team includes ATAP Staff Scientists Qing Ji and Arun Persaud and UC Davis’ Electrical and Computer Engineering faculty members Jeremy Munday and William Putnam.If successful, the work could provide new insights into the fundamental science of nuclear reactions at relatively low energies and potentially lead to new applications in energy research.For more information on ATAP News articles, contact Carl A. Williams ([email protected]).

    What I see interesting in AI is how it questions what is human intelligence. For me the errors of AI are so funny because humans make so similar errors, have similar hallucinations, illusions...

    LLM intelligence is far from humans, like is the intelligence of a supercalculator solving differential equations, but since language is invented by neural networks with blood, not surprising neural networks understand each other so well through languages.


    Some also remind us that human creativity is mostly remix, and AI do that well.


    the way I start to use ChatGPT is to talk with a document. Without a document, talking wit ChatGPT is like talking with a librarian... On LENR my experience is that it is full of consensual sentences. LLM won't discover cold fusion theory, but it may find commonalities in LENR experiments...
    Seriously, a well funded team should feed a LLM with LENR papers and ask for regularities, ideas, missing parts... the hard job that nearly nobody did, except maybe few librarian or reviewer...

    with this more complete abstract:

    Quote

    In our previous reports including SAEpaper 2020, we proposed a new engine with high thermal efficiency based on relatively-silent high compression and nearly-complete air-insulation effect, which employs collision of pulsed multijets of gas around chamber center. Maximum compression level due to the gas jets colliding will be 100MPa and 3000K around chamber center before reactions. Relatively-silent high compression is possible, because region around chamber wall is at pressure level of traditional piston engines. This is suitable for various fuels including hydrogen, because high compression around chamber center leads to stable auto-ignition, which also brings potential of low NOx at very lean burning operation. We also confirmed very less occurrence of knocking of gasoline in this new engine by combustion experiments, which leads to braking thermal efficiency over 50% for small engines. However, lots of people may want zero emissions. Thus, in the present paper, we show a possibility of weak quantum reaction engine, based on “stable” low energy nuclear reaction (LENR), which was found by Yoshiaki Arata, 2008. Oxidant is not necessary for LENR, which implies no NOx. The LENR without radiation is based on mixing of hydrogen gas and nano-scale particles of metal materials such as Cu, Pd, and Ni. Many previous studies in closed chambers show that, “at atmospheric pressure condition”, higher temperature leads to more heat release without fuel supplementation for months. Thus, we tried experiments at higher pressure over 1MPa. The results obtained indicate that pressure increase also has more heat release. Thus, simultaneous set of high pressure over 100MPa and high temperature over 3000K, generated by the multi jets colliding around chamber center shown above, may result in very high power surpassing over that obtained by chemical reaction, leading to new CO2-free engine without fuel addition for months, although with small chambers.

    Chat GPT helped me understand that message:


    Quote

    The article discusses various theories related to the formation of explosive funnels, also known as tube bells, and their connection to geological processes such as earthquakes and the formation of oil and natural gas. The authors propose that electric discharges can occur between the Earth's surface and its interior, leading to the formation of plasma-filled channels that can cause destruction and create explosive funnels. They suggest that the Earth's quasi-crystalline structure plays a crucial role in these processes, and that the Earth can be thought of as a giant cosmic capacitor of electrical energy.

    The article also discusses the possibility that electric discharges in the Earth's interior can lead to the formation of oil and natural gas, and that such discharges could also trigger earthquakes. The authors suggest that the work of A.A. Vorobyov, who proposed the idea of plasma chemical reactions in the Earth's interior in the mid-1960s, is particularly relevant to understanding these processes. Overall, the article presents a range of theories related to the Earth's geology and the role that electrical and plasma-based processes may play in shaping it.

    Note :


    A funnel is a conical or cylindrical-shaped object that is typically wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, designed to direct or channel liquids, powders, or other substances into a small opening or container. In the context of the article, an explosive funnel or tube bell refers to a geological phenomenon where a channel filled with incandescent gas, possibly plasma, is formed, which breaks out at great speed, causing destruction in the upper part of the channel and forming a funnel-like shape.

    I've found some aryicle by A A Vorobyov.

    He seems to work hard on nucleus structure

    https://www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/A-A-Vorobyov-17858670

    The hypothesis is fascinating, even if I'm a bit conservative, and I better understand your position...

    In the mid-sixties of the twentieth century, A.A. Vorobyov proposed a hypothesis of the plasma chemical origin of oil and natural combustible gases. He was the first to apply the electrophysical research methodology to solve the problems of oil and gas formation.
