Conference Name: 17th International Conference on Cold Fusion
Conference Location: Daejeon, Korea
Short Title: Cu-Ni-Mn alloy wires, with improved submicrometric surfaces, used as LENR device by new transparent, dissipation-type, calorimeter
Keywords: excess heat, hydrogen, nickel
Abstract: Abstract -- Starting in February 2011, we studied the feasibility of new Nickel based alloys that are able to absorb proper amounts of Hydrogen (H2) and/or Deuterium (D2) and that have, in principle, some possibility to generate anomalous thermal effects at temperatures >100°C.
The interest in Ni comes in part because there is the possibility to use H2 instead of expensive D2. Reports by F. Piantelli (since 1992), G. Miley (about 1995), M. Patterson, F. Celani (since 2010) and, overall, claims by A. Rossi and (later on) by Defkalion Company, could be further investigated. Moreover, cross-comparison of results using Hydrogen instead of Deuterium can be made and could help the understanding of the phenomena involved (nuclear origin?) because use of such isotopes.

Conference Name: 17th International Conference on Cold Fusion
Conference Location: Daejeon, Korea
Short Title: LENR and Nuclear Structure Theory
Keywords: Theory
Abstract: The significance of LENR research for understanding nuclear structure is discussed. In contrast to atomic-level Quantum Electrodynamics (QED), nuclear theory has remained a collection of mutually-exclusive "models" lacking a rigorous foundation. I argue that LENR indicates the way forward to a quantitative theory of nuclear structure, Quantum Nucleodynamics (QND).

Abstract: Earlier studies have shown that a hydrogen-deuterium (H/D) exchange chemical reaction initiated in Pd-impregnated material can account for at least some of the excess heat observed during gas-loading experiments. We report on using in-situ material bakeout for an extended time to assess and eliminate the chemical heat contribution.

Title: Surface Effect for Gas Loading Micrograin Palladium for Low Energy Nuclear Reactions LENR
Conference Name: 17th International Conference on Cold Fusion
Conference Location: Daejeon, Korea
Short Title: Surface Effect for Gas Loading Micrograin Palladium for Low Energy Nuclear Reactions LENR
Keywords: Theory
Abstract: Generation of elements up to heaviest nuclei by LENR was measured in 1995 where the basic proof is seen from the appearance of the Maruhn-Greiner maximum similar to fission of uranium. From plasma-gas loading of deuterium in palladium the value of Coulomb screening of the deuterium in the host crystal was derived and later confirmed by Czerski Huke et al.. Following the DDdistance of 2 pm, results in deuteron clusters offering a hypothetical explanation of the Maruhn-Greiner mechanism for LENR while inverted Rydberg states led to similar 2 pm deuteron distances. The preference of surface mechanisms for LENR is indicated by the screening process within the swimming electron layer at the surface and may be recognized from the detailed measurement of ultra-high density clusters in surface defects compared with the earlier measured high density deuteron cluster in volume defects.

Title: Neutron burst emissions from uranium deuteride and deuterium-loaded titanium
Conference Name: 17th International Conference on Cold Fusion
Conference Location: Daejeon, Korea
Short Title: Neutron burst emissions from uranium deuteride and deuterium-loaded titanium
Keywords: neutron
Abstract: This paper reports a new result of anomalous neutron emission, or called cascade neutron bust emission, from deuterium-loaded titanium and uranium deuterium samples at room temperature. The number of neutron in the large bursts was measured up to 2800 in less than 64-µs interval. After accidental artifact noise and cosmic-ray source are ruled out, we suggest that the anomalous cascade neutron bursts are correlated with deuterium-loaded metals and probably is the result of nuclear reaction occurring in the samples.

Conference Name: 17th International Conference on Cold Fusion

Short Title: Theoretical Analysis of Chemically Assisted Nuclear Reactions (CANR) in Nanoparticles
Keywords: neutron, nanoparticles
Abstract: Many problems still exist in current reports of CANR. First of all, the phenomena continue to be difficult to reproduce; secondly, some data are difficult to evaluate because of possible measurement errors; thirdly, some of the reported data can be explained by other chemical and/or physical reactions; and, lastly, the mechanisms remain unknown. Many theories on the mechanisms of CANR that seem to have generated nuclear reactions in special metallic structures have been suggested. These are nuclear fusion reactions involving hydrogen isotopes in the metals. We consider the interaction of the localization of electrons and charged particles within Nanoparticles. Hydrogen isotopes are changed slightly with electrons near to nuclei, and calculation of the probability of tunneling increases dramatically. This change is strongly dependent on the potential between two hydrogen nuclei. As for the reactive probability due to the tunnel effect, if the barrier potential decreases 50%, the reaction probability increases by ten orders of magnitude.

Short Title: Search for advanced simulation model of cascade vortices under beneath the electrode surface
Keywords: Theory
Abstract: In the cold fusion experiment, there observed vortex patterns on a thick Pd electrode surface during long-term electrolysis in 0.1M LiOD. To understand the peculiar phenomenon, we have proposed N-cycle model, which composed of four sequential processes including the fusion (CF) reaction. In this study, a numerical simulation for the analysis of the vortex patterns was performed elucidate the relation between the vortex formation and Supposing that the hypothetical particles mass evolved to CF reaction energy, two numerical simulations motion of the hypothetical particles mass were performed: Cellular automata (CA) and discretization method. of both simulations have shown generation of a vortex cascade of vortices, which were identical to those obtained experimentally. However, there still exist differences between the experimental and theoretical patterns in and form. Then, it motivates us to build a sophisticated model. On the other hand, Miesch performed the numerical simulation of the convection structure in the solar convection zone, where appearance of vortex was deduced from the helioseismic data. The numerical simulation showed that the downflow was characterized by the helicity reversal near base of the convection zone. Reviewing the numerical calculation method and the restricted conditions inspired the important term of helicity change under conservation, relaxation and transportation across boundary.

Short Title: Numerical Simulation of Vortex and Cascade of Vortices Appeared under Beneath the Sub-surface Layer
Keywords: Theory
Abstract: In the cold fusion experiment, there observed vortex patterns on a thick Pd rod electrode surface during long-term electrolysis in 0.1M LiOD. To understand the peculiar phenomenon, we had proposed N-cycle model, which is composed of four sequential processes including the CF reaction. In this study, numerical simulation for the analysis of the vortex patterns was performed to elucidate the relation between the vortex formation and the CF reaction. Supposing that the hypothetical particles mass evolved due to the CF reaction energy, we performed the numerical simulation using discretization method for the analysis of 3D motion of the hypothetical particles mass. The experimental results showed that the ejected particles mass from one side to another in a given rectangular box (simulate the sub-surface layer) exhibited a helical trajectory as a function of magnetic field. The traces of the ejected particles mass on another side composed vortex pattern. There has been remained more accurate simulation to examine the structure of the layer and the influence of the magnetic field.

Title: Cold Fusion -- From the Laboratory to the World
Conference Name: 17th International Conference on Cold Fusion
Conference Location: Daejeon, Korea
Short Title: Cold Fusion -- From the Laboratory to the World
Keywords: review
Abstract: The objective of ICCF-17 is to allow international groups of scientists to present their data to further the collective understanding of scientists working in the field and so that skeptical members of the mainstream scientific community, the media, and the public will see the evidence that “cold fusion†is real. Indeed, several groups are currently developing commercial products that produce energy using the “cold fusion†phenomena. Ultimately, the reality of cold fusion will be determined by the public acceptance of commercial devices. People and companies who continue to deny the existence of cold fusion will become irrelevant as the applications are placed into service.

Short Title: The Future May Be Better Than You Think
Keywords: Commercialization
Abstract: Cold fusion researchers are prone to be unduly pessimistic about the potential for cold fusion. They know too much; they are too close to the problem. They may also have unexamined assumptions. Researchers feel put-upon because of political opposition. The LENR-CANR.org website log file proves there is a great deal of interest in this field. There is broad, untapped, latent support for it. The log shows that every week scientists and engineers download thousands of papers on cold fusion.

Short Title: Hydrogen isotope absorption and heat release characteristics of a Ni-based sample
Keywords: excess heat, nickel
Abstract: Recently, several researchers claimed excess heat from Ni-based alloy samples under application to gas-phase protium absorption experiments instead of expensive Pd-based nanocompounds. We have performed hydrogen isotope absorption runs using the Cu-Ni-ZrO2(CNZ) and Ni-ZrO2(NZ) nano-powders. We observed long-lasting temperature change corresponding to astonishingly large output energy of several hundred eV/atom-Ni.

Keywords: Sonofusion
Abstract: D2O cavitation produces z-pinch jets implanting a target lattice; a picosecond of a plasma charge separation produces electromagnetic pulses that squeeze deuteron clusters into nuclear BECs with a high critical temperature. This is the perfect environment for a measured DD++ fusion event. (D+ -- D+ ) separation is via electron image charge.

Title: Energy Gain From Preloaded ZrO2-PdNi-D Nanostructured CF/LANR Quantum Electronic Components
Conference Name: 17th International Conference on Cold Fusion
Conference Location: Daejeon, Korea
Short Title: Energy Gain From Preloaded ZrO2-PdNi-D Nanostructured CF/LANR Quantum Electronic Components
Keywords: excess heat
Abstract: Previously, we reported that such nanocomposite ZrO2-PdNiD LANR materials have been made into LANR/CF transistors which exhibit energy gain and simultaneous non-thermal near infrared emission. This is accompanied by complicated polarization/transconduction phenomena including an avalanche transconduction electrical breakdown, which has a critical role in excess heat generation. This paper presents a new generation of preloaded LANR (CF) activated nanocomposite ZrO2-PdNiD CF/LANR quantum electronic devices capable of energy gain. These devices dry, glued into electrically conductive, sealed, configurations. The core is ZrO2-(PdNiD) with additional D2 and H2. They are self-contained CF/LANR quantum electronic components containing ZrO2-PdNi-D LANR/CF nanostructured materials which generate significant excess heat from applied electric fields. They also feature two terminals and self-contained superior handling properties enabling portability and transportability. Most importantly, the activation of the desired LANR reactions is, for the first time, separated from the loading of the substrate. Although their development has required control of their breakdown states and the quenching tendencies of nanostructured materials, these ZrO2-PdNiD CF/LANR quantum electronic devices are potentially very useful because they are reproducible active nanostructured CF/LANR quantum electronic devices.

Title: Forcing the Pd/^1 H - ^1H2O System into a Nuclear Active State
Conference Name: 17th International Conference on Cold Fusion
Conference Location: Daejeon, Korea
Short Title: Forcing the Pd/^1 H - ^1H2O System into a Nuclear Active State
Keywords: electron capture, theory
Abstract: In cells employing cathodes prepared by the co-deposition process, the polarized Pd/D - D2O system becomes nuclear active when the concentration of deuterium, expressed as D/Pd atomic ratio, is equal to or greater than one. In contrast, to activate the polarized Pd/H-H2O system, action of an external magnetic field, modulation of cell current or both, are required. Evidence for the nuclear active state in the Pd/H - H2O system, namely deuterium production, particle emission and catastrophic thermal event, is presented. Extension of nuclear active state to the Pd/^1 H - ^1H2O system under the application of an external magnetic field and modulated cell current profile is discussed.

Title: Nickel Transmutation and Excess Heat Model Using Reversible Thermodynamics
Conference Name: 17th International Conference on Cold Fusion
Conference Location: Daejeon, Korea
Short Title: Nickel Transmutation and Excess Heat Model Using Reversible Thermodynamics
Keywords: Theory
Abstract: This research develops the Least Action Nuclear Process (LANP) model of cold fusion, by assuming that the process is thermodynamically reversible. This requires: 1) one element of new physical theory, a far-from-equilibrium blackbody equation having a second temperature scale, and 2) a nuclear reaction selection method based in the Principle of Least Action. The model appears to predict nuclear transmutations observed in Miley’s nickel microspheres, without false positives, and provides a plausible explanation of loading and ignition processes, excess heat, no excess heat, and the absence of gamma radiation. The model shows how solar core temperatures can exist in a laboratory temperature device. The presentation is abstracted from a larger technical paper.

Title: Excess Heat Triggered by Different Current in a D/Pd Gas-loading System
Conference Name: 17th International Conference on Cold Fusion
Conference Location: Daejeon, Korea
Short Title: Excess Heat Triggered by Different Current in a D/Pd Gas-loading System
Keywords: gas loading, heat
Abstract: In order to study the relationship between the triggering current, deuterium pressure and the excess heat, a series of experiments were made in a D/Pd gas-loading system. By comparing the system constants (k=?T/?P) in both nitrogen and deuterium atmosphere we found an optimum current (8A) and a deuterium pressure (9×104 Pa) in which the system could release a maximum excess power (more than 80W). The reproducibility was 16/16 and the excess energy released in the longest experiment was about 300MJ within 40 days, which was corresponding to 104 eV for each palladium atom. Analysis of the palladium surface with a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and an energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) revealed that some new surface topographical feature with concentrations of unexpected elements (such as Ag, Sn, Pb and Ca) appeared after the current triggering. The results implied that the excess heat might come from a nuclear transmutation.

Conference Name: 17th International Conference on Cold Fusion

Short Title: Application of Correlated States of Interacting Particles in Nonstationary and Periodical Modulated LENR Systems
Keywords: Theory
Abstract: In the report the universal mechanism of optimization of low energy nuclear reactions on the basis of coherent correlated states of interacting particles at different kinds of nonstationary periodical action to the system is considered. We have considered the peculiarities and investigated the efficiency of the creation of a correlated state under a periodic action on a harmonic oscillator. This method is shown to lead to rapid formation of a strongly correlated particle state that provides an almost complete clearing of the potential barrier even for a narrow range of oscillator frequency variations. Several successful low energy fusion experiments based on usage of correlated states of interacting particles are discussed.

Title: The Possibility of the Reuse of Nano-Pd Particles for Solid Fusion
Conference Name: 17th International Conference on Cold Fusion
Conference Location: Daejeon, Korea
Short Title: The Possibility of the Reuse of Nano-Pd Particles for Solid Fusion
Keywords: nano-particles
Abstract: According to the measuring results of our paper presented at ICCF15(2009), helium as an important evidence of solid-state fusion has been confirmed clearly by mass analyzer "QMS". It is well known that the D/Pd ratio larger than 0.88 is favorable to observe an excess heat during the loading of Palladium with deuterium. As for our nano-Pd particles, the D/Pd ratio was expected to reach to 200%~400%. However, after a solid fusion recycle, the produced helium remained inside Pd lattice. The residual helium is considered an awful impurity that restricts the absorption rate of deuterium in palladium, and then destroyed the solid fusion reaction. As the nano-Pd particle is expensive material, to realize the practical utility of solid fusion technology, the reuse of the nano-Pd particle is considered to be the most important thing. In this paper, the possible methods to solve the problem of the reuse of the nano-Pd particle are discussed.
