This brings us to our ninth physics theory that can help you
work with New Energy. It is called LENR, meaning Low Energy Nuclear
Reactions
Theres lots to read on this topic
Weve already seen that physicists like to play word games, and
give many names to the same thing. Another name that people often
use to call LENR is cold fusion and you will also hear it referred
to as transmutation, quantum reactions, or chemically assisted
nuclear reactions
Someone has suggested that we make a New Energy Dictionary
Would that be helpful?
The LENR field has been developing extremely fast over the past
25 years. Because scientists have developed 2 basic types of LENRs,
we are going to make a distinction today between (1) Traditional
LENRs (which occur within a lattice well, at least some people
think they do) and (2) LENRs caused by water cavitation
In both forms of LENR, we are essentially producing energy from
water
And this brings to mind author Jules Vernes prediction that
"water will one day be employed as fuel, that hydrogen and oxygen
of which it is constituted will be used (1874)
Because Water Cavitation is such a big field in itself, we are
actually going to call that our next field of physics (#10), which
we will address once weve finished discussing the more traditional
approach to LENRs
Pons & Fleischmann are credited as the grandfathers of
Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENRs) Their 1989 experiments began
modern LENR research At that time, everyone called it cold
fusion
Under pressure from the petroleum industry, the U.S. Department
of Energy led a campaign to discredit Pons & Fleischmann
Nonetheless, their initial results from the 1989 experiment have
since been replicated thousands of times
It was called a form of fusion because it appeared that 2
deuterium (2H) atoms were combining to form Helium-4 and a
significant amount of excess energy in the form of heat
However, the reaction occurred at normal room temperature and
emitted no harmful radiation
This made it very unlike the hot fusion reaction that occurs in
the hydrogen bomb
Because Pons & Fleischmanns reaction didnt require high
temperatures, people began calling it cold fusion How, exactly, did
the reaction work?
Pons & Fleischmann placed a palladium cathode into a tub of
deuterium oxide (2H20) and lithium salts, and then applied an
electrical current
The palladium cathode carried a negative charge. Because the
electrical current caused the deuterons to separate from their
oxygen atom in each water molecule, the deuterons were naturally
attracted to the palladium cathode
Now, palladium exists in the form of a lattice, and it is a
very spacious lattice
The deuterons move along the lattice and most of them get
trapped in the lattice
Eventually, the lattice gets full and at this moment, strange
Zero Point effects (including excess heat) are observed
Many scientists believe that the deuterons get so jam-packed
inside the lattice that the Coulomb barrier is overcome and they
then begin to fuse together with an electron to create
Hydrogen-4
Lets look at an animation of what may be happening in the
lattice once it is full (meta-stable)
Its thought that the Hydrogen-4 atoms, once they are formed,
then undergo beta-decay to form Helium-4
However, Dr. Edmund Storms (formerly of Los Alamos National
Labs) points out that while the lattice is filling with deuterons,
another process is occurring which is equally, if not more
important, for the production of excess heat
According to Dr. Storms, some deuterons get stuck in cracks
existing in the palladium lattice
Indeed, as the lattice fills with deuterons, we can see how
this might put stresses and strains on the lattice which would
promote cracking
Within these cracks, hydrogen nuclei and electrons get stuck,
and they tend to do so in an alternating series
Normally, two hydrogen nuclei in close proximity would repel
one another, but it is thought that the intervening electrons allow
the protons to get close enough to one another to overcome the
Coulomb barrier
As the protons in the hydrogen nuclei get closer and closer,
photons are emitted and this causes them to get even closer still,
until fusion occurs
When subjected to resonance (possibly as a result of the
lattice shaking), the Hydrogen nuclei start to fuse
This fusing releases excess heat into the lattice
Dr. Storms likes to consider these cracks in the palladium to
be like little assembly lines or incubators of the fusion
process
Indeed, it was noticed in the process of trying to replicate
Pons & Fleischmanns experiments that some replications attempts
failed while others succeeded
Upon closer inspection, it was found that the replication only
succeeded when cracks were present in the palladium cathode
The Pons & Fleischmann reaction was very unlike traditional
electrolysis
As Faraday showed, this method of splitting the water molecule
can never produce excess energy
A key difference, according to Prof. Robert Bush (California
Polytechnic University, Pomona), is that the Pons & Fleischmann
experiment accessed Zero Point Energy This is probably one reason
why many scientists in 1989 couldnt understand Pons &
Fleischmanns results or dismissed them as measurement errors
ZPE is why the LENR approach to separating the water molecule
(in this case, 2H20) produced much more energy than traditional
electrolysis
Scientists also think that Zero Point Energy allows the fusion
reaction to occur without emitting dangerous radiation
After Pons & Fleischmann, many scientists tried to improve
on their method
Dr. J. Patterson used combinations of nickel/palladium and
platinum/titanium; and he used regular water instead of 2H20
Dr. Celanis nickel-hydrogen LENR reactor
Dr. Jean-Paul Biberian (Faculte des Science de Luminy) used
Lanthanum Aluminate ( LaAlO3 ) to create LENR
Perovskite (CaTiO3), which cracks easily, has also been used
successfully in LENR experiments
Drs. Kozima and Tada may have made a breakthrough in their LENR
experiments using polyethylene (XLPE) to produce transmutation of
several elements in the periodic table
The Kozima & Tada experiments suggest that LENR may help us
to safely clean up nuclear waste
Mitsubishi currently holds a patent on such a process, and we
may see it used at the Fukushima facility
Some general tips that inventors have shared for LENR
experimentation include: Activated carbon can help to catalyze the
LENR reaction Lasers can also help stimulate the fusion
process
To sum up for Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions using lattices,
please remember that: Pons & Fleischmanns experiments have been
replicated & proven valid thousands of times after initial
attempts in the 1990s to discredit these scientists Besides
palladium, many other metals and alloys have been used The more
cracks the metal has, the better!
To sum up for Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions using lattices,
please remember that: New research is going beyond metals and
getting into hydrogen-graphites, XLPE, etc. LENRs can produce
excess heat in other words, they can power overunity systems LENR
also involves transmutation of elements based on the release of
Zero Point Energy LENRs have been successful with both deuterium
oxide and normal water
