10 m concrete?, no no, this is not s runaway system. Easier to just use a water cooled jacket or liquid Hydrogen.
Neutron shielding with heat extraction already exists and can be delivered from several companies.

We all believe that you can get COP >1 with the Holmlid muon production reaction.

But we also know that D/T muon catalyzed fusion produces a more or less unstoppable load of 14MeV neutrons, if you try to scale up the reaction to some MW. The big…

One muon source in the middle of a Dt fusion tank looks very nice but is not very optimum regarding the fusion vessel volume, fusion point distance to walls, muon decay length to Dt gas, tritium handling, heat extraction, operating redundancy of the…

A METHOD FOR AMPLIFYING ENERGY AND A POWER AMPLIFIER
U.S. Patent Application 20200178381 June 4, 2020

Abstract: A power amplifier for amplifying power of…

Remarkable that Hans LIDGREN (inventor) firstly filed a technology causing transmutation of Deuterium and e.g. Nickel at the time Rossi was still working with Nickel.
Next, this latest application relates to transmutations of Deuterium and e.g. Nitrogen…

Investigation of the interaction of the ion beams with deuterated crystal structures at the HELIS facility

Abstract
The paper reviews results obtained in the course of low energy nuclear reactions experimental study using the HELIS facility (LPI).
The…

I am still cautious.
The situation with their catalyst issues (see posting #586 of this thread) is still unclear apart from mentioning patent progress in Japan regarding production of catalyst rods.
Updates likes these tend to highlight mainly positive…

Summer 2020 update as published on LinkedIn (requires login), see attached 16 page newsletter.
Not much clearity on their catalyst development situation.

Thanks. There are some later reports available on LENR-CANR, latest from 2009.
I wonder what happened the last decade with this.

There is a more recent patent application, filed in 2017.

I tried to find a reference to the "sonofusion Teapot heater" here at the forum but could not find any. Do you have a good reference?

(Quote from Wyttenbach)


That is a valid point indeed. Something I forgot to take into account.
I need to dig up some numbers to determine the minimum distance from the UDH source.

B.t.w. shielding kaons must be easier than shielding muons.
This might mean…

Muon generators can be placed in the center of the pressurized Deuterium vessel:



Of course this is a simplistic approach which probably need a bit more enginering, but this should be much better than the current MK1 powerplant…

I think we both agree that H*/D* plays an important role in case Nickel is used.
What are the fusion reactions that you anticipate?
Do you think that similar effects take place like described by Holmlid, e.g. release of fast…

In the case of a Mizuno implementation he did indeed. But Mizuno's concept does not contain an active catalyst by design (maybe by contamination).
I also see the potential inconsistancy. That is why I created the drawing, so …
