Twenty-Year History of Lattice-Enabled Nuclear Reactions (LENR) - Hiding in Plain Sight

At the University of Missouri, on May 29, 2009, scientists from the US Navy's Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) lectured on twenty years of verified research involving anomalous heat and mini-explosions on deuterated metals, reported by various governmental and international research laboratories.

They conclude that these energetic observations are of nuclear origin and sow the seeds of a true green energy source.

Twenty-Year History of Lattice-Enabled Nuclear Reactions Using Pd/D Co-deposition

F.E. Gordon, S. Szpak, P.A. Mosier-Boss, Melvin Miles, and L.P.G. Forsley

In the Pd/D co-deposition process, working and counter electrodes are immersed in a solution of palladium chloride and lithium chloride in deuterated water. Palladium is then electrochemically reduced onto the surface of the working electrode in the presence of evolving deuterium gas. Electrodes prepared by Pd/D co-deposition exhibit highly expanded surfaces consisting of small spherical nodules. Because of this high surface area and electroplating in the presence of deuterium gas, the incubation time to achieve high D/Pd loadings necessary to initiate LENR is orders of magnitude less than required for bulk electrodes. Using a Dewar-type electrochemical cell/calorimeter, it was shown that the rates of excess enthalpy generation using electrodes prepared by the Pd/D co-deposition technique were higher than that obtained when Pd bulk electrodes were used.1 Positive feedback and heat-after-death effects were also observed with the Pd/D co-deposited electrodes. Infrared imaging of electrodes prepared by Pd/D co-deposition show that the working electrode is hotter than the solution indicating that the heat source is the Pd/D co-deposited electrode and not Joule heating.2 Infrared images also show that the heat generation is not continuous, but occurs in discrete spots on the electrode. The 'hot spots' observed in the infrared imaging experiments suggest that 'mini-explosions' were occurring, These 'mini-explosions' were confirmed by conducting the Pd/D co-deposition directly on a piezoelectric transducer. To verify that the heat produced by Pd/D co-deposition was nuclear in origin, experiments were conducted to detect the nuclear ash. Using the Pd/D co-deposition, the following nuclear emanations have been detected: X-ray emission,3 tritium production,4 transmutation,5 and particle emission.6,7

@DeVizardofOZ there is one! MARWAN Chemie

[TheCurve99]

@yougeo Yes, this is confirmation of cold fusion.

[TheCurve99]

@yougeo Yes, this is confirmation of "cold fusion."

[konsul2006]

0:50:00 "We still got Amy Whinehouse" ouch :D

[TheCurve99]

Yes.

[DeVizardofOZ]

very interesting experiments... pity I see no evidence whatsoever that any LENR research is done in Germany. I wonder why(?)

[accd1d]

@hackamore not a lot of people are able to understand.

[hackamore]

Only 6914 views? Why aren't more people interested in this? I wish the audience had asked a bunch of questions.

Kudos for presenting this highly informative video! Today, the designation of "public service" is readily used and too often abused. In this case, however, it is truly merited; thank you!

[yougeo]

so this is confirmation of cold fusion.
