| Abstract |
The cavitation bubble resonator (CBR) can be used as a new coupling technique. The purpose of this
paper is to study coupled SPR-CBR, coupled CBR-Nickel and coupled CBR-Biochemical. It is expected
the cavitation bubble resonator assists a pseudo coupling process. The design of nano CBR cell can
play a significant role in the sciences of therapeutic drugs and power generation. |

| Abstract |
I was encouraged to contribute to an editorial generally on the topic of theory in science, in
connection with publication of a paper focused on some recent ideas that Ed Storms has put forth
regarding a model for how excess heat works in the Fleischmann-Pons experiment. Such a project would
compete for my time with other commitments, including teaching, research and family-related
commitments; so I was reluctant to take it on. On the other hand I found myself tempted, since over
the years I have been musing about theory, and also about science, as a result of having been
involved in research on the Fleischmann-Pons experiment. As you can see from what follows, I ended
up succumbing to temptation. |

| Abstract |
Abstract. Nuclear reactions such as transmutation, fusion or fission may occur in special
nano-structures arrangements with a specific excitation that creates a nuclear active environment.
All the parameters of mass distribution, quantum states and field excitation contribute to the
process that involves more than two bodies that are not smashed together through their Coulombian
barrier, as is the normal nuclear practice. New concepts in physics such as quantum nonlocality and
potential formation of nuclear molecules come into play when considering high quantum energy
reactions triggered by low energy excitation of special quantum states. Several nuclear or
sub-nuclear entities in various positions may entangle putting the nuclear mass in special communion
that may react and end in totally different structures than for normally encountered combinations.
In the past 20 years of experiments, some observations of reactions producing heat only, reactions
exhibiting strong bursts of neutrons, gammas and X-rays, some explosions, and over 40 accidents give
strong support for new physics ideas in the world. |

| Abstract |
Observations of excess heat in the absence of commensurate energetic charged particles challenges
local energy and momentum conservation, a foundation of nuclear physics. We have explored models
based on excitation transfer, in which global energy is conserved but local energy conservation is
violated. We present recent results on both excitation transfer and anomalous energy exchange within
the context of lossless spin-boson models. We introduce a rotation that allows us to isolate terms
in the rotated Hamiltonian responsible for both processes. Spin-boson type models augmented with
loss appear to be sufficiently strong to account for the excess heat effect. |

| Abstract |
In recent Fleischmann-Pons experiments carried out by different groups, a thermal signal is seen
indicative of excess energy production of a magnitude much greater than can be accounted for by
chemistry. Correlated with the excess heat appears to be 4He, with the associated energy
near 24 MeV per helium atom. In nuclear reactions, the energy produced is expressed through the
kinetic energy of the products; hence it would be natural to assume that some of the reaction energy
ends up as kinetic energy of the 4He nucleus. Depending on the energy that the helium
nucleus is born with, it will result in radiation (such as neutrons or x-rays) that can be seen
outside of the cell. We have computed estimates of the expected neutron and x-ray emission as a
function of helium energy, and compared the results with upper limits taken from experiments.
Experimental results with upper limits of neutron emission between 0.008 to 0.8 n/J are found to
correspond to upper limits in alpha energy between 6.2 keV and 20.2 keV. |

ABSTRACT. The discovery of Cold Fusion was announced on March 23, 1989 at a press conference at the
University of Utah in Salt Lake City. The two discoverers: Stan Pons and Martin Fleischmann
described their electrochemical device that produces more heat than the electric energy used to run
it. Since then lot of progress has been made, and it is more and more obvious that this phenomenon
now named Condensed Matter Nuclear Science is a genuine scientific research field with many
important potential applications. It is the purpose of this paper to present an update of the
worldwide research. |

| Abstract |
The strain and the electrical resistivity of a Pd sample stressed by a constant tension have been
investigated through a series of hydrogenation cycles in a continuous H stoichiometry [0 <= x
<= 0.8] range. The isotropic lattice expansion for both "as drawn" and
"annealed" Pd sample reveals a strain of only 1% from pure Pd to PdH0.8 in disagreement
with literature data available; the measured effect is minimum at x = 0.13 (? + ? phase) and then
from x = 0.6 (? phase) it has an exponential increase. The contribution of the mechanical tensile
stress on the total relative elongation of the wire is also investigated. An increase of the Pd
sample tensile strain after each hydrogenation cycle is reported for "as drawn" samples,
while for "annealed" samples the reverse behaviour is observed. Moreover, annealed samples
show considerably higher value of tensile strain compared to "as drawn". The variation of
mechanical strain versus H content, for both "annealed" and "as drawn", has a
maximum at x = 0.52. Strain variation and resistivity variation versus H content exhibit similar
behaviour. |

| Abstract |
A series of hydrogenation/dehydrogenation cycles have been performed on palladium wire samples,
stressed by a constant mechanical tension, in order to investigate the changes in electrical and
mechanical properties. A large increase of palladium electrical resistivity has been reported due to
the combined effects of the production of defects linked to hydrogen insertion into the host lattice
and the stress applied to the sample. An increase of the palladium sample strain due to
hydrogenation/dehydrogenation cycles in alpha -> beta -> alpha phase transitions is observed
compared to the sample subjected to mechanical tension only. The loss of initial metallurgical
properties of the sample occurs already after the first hydrogen cycle, i.e. a displacement from the
initial metallic behavior (increase of the resistivity and decrease of thermal coefficient of
resistivity) to a worse one occurs already after the first hydrogen cycle. A linear correlation
between palladium resistivity and strain, according to Matthiessen'fs rule, has been found. |

| Abstract |
The generation of tritium during the electrolysis of aqueous light water alkali carbonate
(K2CO3 and Li2CO3) solutions by nickel cathodes, first
reported by us at the International Conference on Cold Fusion-3 (Nagoya, Japan, October 1992) has
once again been verified and confirmed. During 1993, 10 out of 23 cells, whose electrolytes were
analyzed using a newly set up dedicated liquid scintillation counting unit, indicated low tritium
levels in the electrolyte, in the range of 0.5 to 4.8 Bq/ml. Except one cell, which contained 25%
D2O, the remaining nine cells, which produced tritium, were charged with natural light
water solutions only. Two of these cells, which were monitored for tritium every few days, and
excluding cell OM-3, which was set up in 1992, indicated tritium level variations in a sawtooth
fashion, suggesting the possible presence of an as yet unidentified mechanism responsible for
periodically removing tritium from the electrolyte. |

Both D2O-cell and H2O-cell are constructed with the same Double Structure
Cathode (DS-cathode) and connected in series as a "Double-cell" to examine the energy
generation under the same electrolytic current. D20-cell generates tremendously excess energy during
a long period such as over several thousand hours, but any energy is never generated in
H2O-cell when the chemical energy is subtracted in both cells.
Furthermore, "Mixed-cell" blended with D2O and H2O electrolytes
(D2O /H2O=2 in weight) also generates an excess energy, but with the
considerably different characteristics from D2O-cell. |

| Abstract |
A direct current arc was run between ultrapure graphite electrodes dipped in ultrapure water for 1
to 20 h, The graphite residue collected at the bottom of the water trough was analyzed for iron
content by a conventional spectrographic method, It was found, in the first few experiments, that
the iron content in the graphite residue was fairly high, depending on the duration of the arcing,
The experiment was repeated initially six times, and the results showed large variations in iron
content (50 to 2000 parts per million (ppm)) in the carbon residue, In the second series of
experiments, which were done with the water trough fully covered, the amount of iron in the carbon
residue decreased significantly (20 to 100 ppm), Here also there were large variations in the iron
concentration in the residue, although the experiments were performed under identical conditions,
Whether iron is really being synthesized through transmutation from carbon and oxygen as suggested
by George Oshawa or is getting concentrated to different degrees through some other phenomenon is
not currently clear, The iron in the carbon residue was also analyzed mass spectrometrically for the
abundance of its various isotopes, and the results were more or less the same as that of natural
iron, Besides iron, the presence of other elements like silicon, nickel, aluminum, and chromium was
also determined in the carbon residue, and it was found that the variation of their concentrations
followed the same pattern as that of iron. |

| Abstract |
Spectroscopically pure carbon rods were subjected to a carbon arc in highly purified water. The arc
current varied from 20 to 25 A and was passed intermittently for several hours. The original carbon
contained ~2 parts per million (ppm) iron, and the detritus contained up to 286 ppm of iron. The
carbon rods remained cool 10 the touch at >2 cm from their tips. Adsorption of iron from water or
the surrounding atmosphere was established as not being the cause of the increase of iron. There is
a weak correlation between the iron formed and the time of passage of current.
When dissolved O2, was replaced by N2 in the solution, no iron was formed. Hence, the mechanism
26C12 + 28O18 -> 26Fe56 +
2He4
was suggested as the origin of the iron. The increase in temperature of the solution was consistent
with expectation based on this reaction. |

Lessons from the four-year ARIES (Advanced Reactor Innovation and Evaluation Study) investigation of

These lessons are derived from the physics; engineering and technology; economics; and
environmental, safety, and health (ES&H) characteristics of these conceptual tokamak power-plant
designs. This summary of ARIES lessons is intended to provide a general indicator of the
requirements of economically and environmentally attractive fusion power. The integration of
fundamental tokamak physics with conceptual engineering models through a cost-based systems
methodology has been especially thorough in ARIES. . . . |

| Abstract |
During the summer of 1991, intense neutron bursts were observed after temperature shocking titanium
chips which had been saturated with deuterium gas. The titanium chips were cooled and loaded with
deuterium at 77 K and then rapidly heated to 323 K. The rapid heating produces a large pressure
increase inside the crystalline lattice of the host metal. An Event Timer / Counter (ETC) card was
designed and developed which counted and kept a time distribution of the when neutron pulses
occurred from a helium-3 neutron counter embedded in a paraffin moderator. The experiment produced
copious neutron counts. During one cooling and heating cycle, over 2 million neutrons were counted
over a 5 minute time period. In subsequent cooling and heating cycles using the same titanium chips,
significant neutron bursts were observed with diminishing counts after each subsequent cycle. This
paper will discuss the 1991 experiments and the status of ongoing experiments using temperature
shocking. |

Generation of FPE
* The addition of metals/metal salts to shorten time to onset of effect
* Focus on Pd 90% Rh 10% cathode material
Steps taken to confirm results
* Improved electrochemical cell design to eliminate the possibility of shorts to ground being
mistaken for excess heat
* Implemented many additional cell diagnostics (Used redundant measurements for independent
verification)
* Attempted to "crash" the VSP and initiate excess heat and RF production
Bottom Line:
* Large excess power (= 1kJ) events generated in 5% of Pd90Rh10 cathodes
* Failed to disprove these results -> excess heat results observed at NRL are real! |

Layers of metals were applied so as to cause local stress, which is proposed to create voids in
which nuclear reactions can be initiated when the material is exposed to H2. Photon emission having
energy sufficient to pass through 3.86 g/cm2 of absorbing material was detected using a
Geiger-Mueller detector. This radiation was observed to last many hours and is not typical of what
is called fractofusion. |

| Abstract |
Pre-electrolysis at the boiling point in open Pd|D2O cells is an effective method to activate a
palladium cathode, which can produce excess power in subsequent electrolysis in closed systems for
several months. The reproducibility is 23/45. Another characteristic of excess heat is the apparent
resistance of electrolytic cell changes irreversibly with temperature. |

| Abstract |
Technical differences between cold fusion and hot fusion, and scientific distinctions between low
energy nuclear reactions (LENR) and classical nuclear reactions, are presented. It is pointed out
that LENR is realized through interactions of multi-scale coupling; it is characterized by
nonlinearity, non-equilibrium and complexity. The techniques of cold fusion are small-scale,
distributed and flexible. All of these characteristics are consistent with trends of contemporary
science and technology, whereas hot fusion departs from these tendencies. |

| Abstract |
A heat-flow calorimeter was designed and built. Its measurements are 26 cm ? 26 cm ? 26 cm (17.6 dm3
).18,796 thermocouples are used to measure the heat-flow from the vessel walls to the outer walls,
for which temperature is controlled within 0.01?C from 0 to 100?C by a refrigerating/heating
circulator. Homogeneity of temperature in the measuring vessel is improved by a fan with constant
power. The calibration was performed with an electric heater, with input power up to 50 W. The
device constant is 5.8954 ? 0.0025 W V-1; the time constant is 501.7 ? 3.2 s; the uncertainty is
0.6% at 2 W to 0.06% at 50 W. Nonlinearity of this calorimeter is analyzed. The calorimeter can be
utilized for studies of kinetics and thermodynamics of physical, chemical and biological systems of
decimeter-size. A Sony 26650 Li-ion rechargeable battery was tested with this device during charging
and discharging, and an electrolytic cell with Pd-D2O was also tested with this device. |

| Abstract |
In 1989 Nature published a paper by Lewis showing no excess heat in a cold fusion experiment.
Several researchers including Noninski, Miles and Fleischmann discovered errors in this paper.
Noninski wrote a critique of the paper describing one of these errors, and submitted it for
publication. David Lindley, an editor at Nature, rejected the critique. This paper examines
some of the errors in the paper, and Lindley?s reasons for refusing to re-examine the experiment. |

| Abstract |
Current electric vehicles (EV) and fuel cell vehicles (FCEV) suffer from several limitations that
prevent them from becoming a true commercial success.
When available, kilowatt class LENR generators combined with modern thermoelectric conversion
technology could enable designing new type of automobiles, being low cost, maintenance free and zero
emission at the same time.
In the present talk, we will discuss what are to current limitations of electric vehicles and
battery technology, how LENR technology can propose an alternative to large battery storage on EV,
what are the available compact solutions for energy harvesting and thermoelectric conversion from
LENR thermal energy, what are the longer term design alternatives and finally what is the expected
timeline to develop prototypes and commercial products. |

Conclusions
Ni Alloy is reproducible, (this is a big deal!)
Tritium can be several sigma over background
Effect can be obtained in 1-2 days
Excess heat is small but not inconsistent with Helium data
If X-ray effect can be increased then might serve as a "CB" demo
Parameter space, effects of pressure, electrical driving conditions, temperature, etc. have only
been partially explored. |

* Previous NASA D-Pd experiment (Fralick, et al.; 1989) looked for neutrons (saw none) ?but saw
anomalous heating
* NASA H2O-Ni-K2CO3 Electrolytic Cell experiment (Niedra et al,1996) Apparent current-dependent
excess heat consistent as heat from hydrogen-oxygen? recombination
* NASA Sonoluminescence Experiment (Wrbanek, et al) - Cratering seen with heavy water, not seen with
light water
* After 1989, Cold Fusion research evolved into research in "Low Energy Nuclear Reactions" (LENR),
primarily at U.S. Navy, DARPA & various Universities
2009: NASA IPP-sponsored effort to:
-- Repeat the initial tests to investigate this anomalous heat
-- Apply GRC?s instrumentation expertise to improve the diagnostics for this experiment
-- Establish credible framework for future work in LENR |

| Abstract |
Our previous experimental results have demonstrated the formation of ultra high-density
hydrogen/deuterium nanoclusters with 10E24 atom/cm^3 in metal defects. Both experimental and
theoretical studies have demonstrated that due to the close distance between ions in the cluster,
they can easily be induced to undergo intense nuclear reactions among themselves and some
neighboring lattice atoms. In view of their multi-body nature, such reactions are termed Low Energy
Nuclear Reactions (LENRs) -- a terminology generally accepted by workers in the cold fusion field.
Since the interacting ions have little momentum, the compound nucleus formed in these reactions is
near the ground state so few energetic particles are emitted from it?s decay. Triggering excess heat
generation, thus nuclear reactions in LENR experiments has been accomplished in various ways, all
involving the loading of protons or deuterons into a solid metal or alloy material. |

that converts the fusion energy into electricity. They are more compact and state-of-the-art and
resemble an aluminum air battery, but up to about 10 million times more powerful. . . . |

| Abstract |
Cold fusion or Low Energy Nuclear Reaction (LENR) is a process that results in various nuclear
reactions involving all isotopes of hydrogen within what appear to be ordinary materials at ordinary
temperatures. In general terms, the reactions can be described as fusion when two hydrogen isotopes
combine to form a single product nuclei or as transmutation when one or more hydrogen isotope nuclei
enter a larger nuclei. As expected, these reactions generate energy but very little radiation is
detected, which is unexpected and has been a cause for rejection.? Sufficient evidence is now
available to justify believing this is a real phenomenon and not the result of error. The challenge
is to explain how such an unusual process operates. The approached used in this paper is based on
six assumptions and their logical relationship to many observations. Although many details are not
quantified, the general characteristics of the LENR process are described. This analysis places
severe limits on any proposed explanation. |

An experimental program was designed and performed to test three aspects of CMNS studies. A fourth
objective was added in the light of reports from Rossi regarding large scale heat release from the
nickel - natural hydrogen system, that prompted re-evaluation of earlier work on this system
performed by Piantelli, and later claims by Defkalion. |

| 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. |

| Abstract |
A plausible nuclear-active-environment in which LENR occurs is identified by ruling out various
possibilities and by identifying an environment that is common to all successful methods. When this
environment is combined with a plausible mechanism, many testable predictions result. These insights
and proposals are offered to help clarify understanding of LENR and to suggest future studies. The
common environment in which LENR occurs is proposed to be cracks of a critical size, followed by a
resonance process that dissipates energy by X-ray emission based on a laser-like process.? The LENR
behavior has the potential to test the Standard Model of nuclear interaction. |

| Abstract |
Evidence is presented to show that the energy-active state is located within the surface of
electrolyzed palladium.? Although a high average D/Pd ratio is required to form this state, this is
not the only condition. Several additional conditions must exist to cause a very high surface
composition to form and to cause a conversion of the resulting material from beta-PdD to another
phase.? The required high surface composition depends only in part on a high average composition.?
Absence of microcracks in the surface region, presence of surface and near surface impurities, and
external energy application influence the eventual nucleation and growth of the required phase. |

| Abstract |
Twelve years have passed since the announcement on 23 March 1989 by professors Fleischmann and Pons
that the generation of excess enthalpy occurs in electrochemical cells when palladium electrodes,
immersed in D2O + LiOH electrolyte, are negatively polarized. The announcement, which came to be
known as "Cold Fusion," caused frenzied excitement. In both the scientific and news communities, fax
machines were used to pass along fragments of rumor and "facts." (Yes, this was before wide spread
use of the internet. One can only imagine what would happen now.) Companies and individuals rushed
to file patents on yet to be proven ideas in hopes of winning the grand prize. Unfortunately, the
phenomenon described by Fleischmann and Pons was far from being understood and even factors
necessary for repeatability of the experiments were unknown. Over the next few months, the
scientific community became divided into the "believers" and the "skeptics." The "believers"
reported the results of their work with enthusiasm that at times overstated the significance of
their results. On the other hand, many "skeptics" rejected the anomalous behavior of the polarized
Pd/D system as a matter of conviction, i.e., without analyzing the presented material and always
asking "where are the neutrons?" Funding for research quickly dried up as anything related to "Cold
Fusion" was portrayed as a hoax and not worthy of funding. The term "Cold Fusion" took on a new
definition much as the Ford Edsel had done years earlier.

| Abstract |
FOREWORD
The calorimetry of any electrochemical cell involves two types of activities: data collection and
data evaluation. The required data are the cell potential?time and cell temperature?time series. The
evaluation is based on conservation laws subject to constraints dictated by cell design and the
adapted experimental procedure. Volume 2 of this report deals with the modeling and simulation of
the Dewar-type calorimeter. It was written by Professor Fleischmann to provide an authoritative
discussion of the calorimetry of electrochemical cells. The emphasis is on the interpretation of
data and the accuracy of the determination of the excess enthalpy generation via the appropriate
selection of heat transfer coefficients. The discussion of the calorimetry of the Dewar-type cells
is presented in the form of technical report for a number of reasons,
among them: (i) its length would likely prohibit publication in topical journals, (ii) to clarify
misunderstandings regarding the principles of calorimetry as applied to electrochemical cell in
general and to the cell employed by Fleischmann and his collaborators, in particular.

| Abstract |
The best way to start explaining CMNS is to refer to so-called "hot fusion," a process in
which two atomic nuclei of hydrogen fuse at temperatures exceeding several million degrees. This
process generates thermal energy (heat) in hydrogen bombs, and in stars. In the last five decades
numerous attempts have been made to turn a hydrogen bomb explosion into a "slowly burning"
controllable process. This line of technological research, costing tens of billions of dollars, has
not yet produced anything of practical use.
Fusion of atomic nuclei has been studied by physicists since 1930s. We know that such fusion is only
possible at extremely high temperatures. Its probability at ordinary temperatures-- that is below
ten thousand degrees or so--is practically impossible, due to mutual electric repulsion of atomic
nuclei. |

| Abstract |
A problem popularly known as "cold fusion" was brought, although in an unusual way, to the attention
of the scientific community. Although much discussion was (and is still) devoted to whether this
effect is connected with any known nuclear reactions, the latter being widely questioned, there is
no doubt that the general interest in the problem was provoked by the claim of the possibility of
producing excess energy, i.e., energy surmounting the energy breakeven value. Unlike the clearly
negative indications so far in terms of known nuclear processes taking place, however, careful
analysis reveals that the claims in the principal negative papers published so far with respect to
the existence of excess energy are in disagreement with the raw experimental data whenever such is
presented in those papers. This is very surprising indeed in view of the wide publicity these
negative results have been given. An example of an improper analysis of their own experimental data
by the authors is Ref. 1, which we have already discussed. Other examples of inappropriate method
and improper interpretation of their own experimental data are Refs. 3 and 4. |

| Abstract |
The research in the thermal behavior of the polarized Pd/D-D2O system was, and still is, directed
towards determining the conditions maximizing excess enthalpy production. At the present time, a
sustained low grade heat source can be maintained for considerable periods of time.
Although the excess enthalpy production in these systems is generally accepted, there are still
instances of misunderstanding even among seasoned scientists. In the series of papers entitled
"Our penultimate papers on the isoperibolic calorimetry of the Pt/D2O and Pd/D2) systems",
Prof. Fleischmann (and his collaborators) deals with the correct and incorrect interpretation of
calorimetric data.
In a separate paper "More about positive feedback; more about boiling" Prof. Fleischmann
discusses aspects of this system of interest to practical applications, viz the design of an
effective energy source. |

nonuniformities induced by the air flow inside the chamber produce local hot and cold spots. |

| Abstract |
We carried out an experimental study of excess heat production during deuterium loading of
Pd-impregnated alumina.? Earlier studies [1,2] have shown that a hydrogen-deuterium (H/D) exchange
chemical reaction can account for at least some of excess heat observed during gas-loading
experiments. In this work we show that excess heat contributed by H/D exchange can be eliminated by
prebaking the material in vacuum at 390?C, due to the removal of residual water from the material.
After the material is given the opportunity to reabsorb water from air the reaction and excess heat
production in the presence of deuterium resumes. Our calculations on the energy available from H/D
exchange show that all the excess heat observed during our experiment can be accounted for by this
chemical reaction. |

This report reviews research activities on the polarized Pd/D2O system. In contrast to
the pioneering work of Fleischmann and his collaborators, we consider only events at, and/or, within
Pd electrodes prepared by the co-deposition technique developed in this laboratory. Our effort
proceeded along two paths: (i) investigation of thermal and nuclear events in the Pd host lattice
and (ii) examination of the role of the interphase region. These paths were undertaken to assess the
intensity of events and to provide some information on the factors controlling the initiation and
maintenance of excess enthalpy generation, i.e., the "performance envelope". |

| Abstract |
Thermal activities associated with electrochemical compression of deuterium produced on electrodes
prepared by Pd D codeposition are discussed. Three cases are considered: activities during and
shortly after commencement of current flow, those observed during runs of several days duration, and
surface temperature distribution recorded by infrared scanning. Experimental results show excellent
reproducibility, high-power outputs, and the development of thermal instabilities resulting in the
formation of local hot spots. |

| Abstract |
The effect of an external electric field on the physical appearance of the Pd/D electrode in an
operating cell is discussed. It is shown that the individual globules of the "cauliflower-like
structure undergo a shape change exhibiting two distinct features, viz those that require energy
expenditure that can be extracted from the applied external field (eg re-orientation, separation of
individual globules, dendrite formation) and those that require energy expenditure far in excess of
one that can be supplied by the electric field alone (eg exhibiting features usually associated with
the solidification of a molten metal under liquid or the presence of localized catastrophic events
leading to the formation of craters). It is shown, by energydispersive X-ray method, that the needed
energy is provided by nuclear events occurring in the region close to the electrode surface. The
nuclear events are of the type: precursor --> unstable nucleus --> stable nucleus. |

| Abstract |
Thermal behavior of polarized Pd/D electrode, prepared by the co-deposition technique, serving as a
cathode in the Dewar-type electrochemical cell/calorimeter is examined. It is shown that: (i) excess
enthalpy is generated during and after the completion of the co-deposition process; (ii) rates of
excess enthalpy generation are somewhat higher than when Pd wires or other forms of Pd electrodes
are used; (iii) positive feedback and heat-after-death effects were observed; and (iv) rates of
excess power generation were found to increase with an increase in both cell current and cell
temperature, the latter being higher. |

| Abstract |
The cold fusion controversy centers on the precision and accuracy of the calorimetric systems used
to measure excess enthalpy generation. For open, isoperibolic calorimetric systems, there is no true
steady state during D2O+LiOD electrolysis.? Exact calorimetric measurements, therefore,
require modeling by a differential equation that accounts for all heat flow pathways into and out of
the calorimetric systems. The improper use and misunderstanding of this differential equation is a
major source of confusion concerning cold fusion calorimetric measurements. |

| Abstract |
The polarized PdD electrode undergoes significant morphological changes when exposed to an external
electric field. These changes range from minor, e.g. re-orientation and/or separation of weakly
connected globules, through forms that result from a combined action of the field as well as that
connected with the evolution of gaseous deuterium, to shapes that require substantial energy
expenditure. |

| Abstract |
Evidence supporting cold fusion (LENR) is summarized and requirements an explanation must take into
account are justified. A plausible nuclear-active-environment is identified by ruling out various
possibilities and by identifying an environment that is common to all methods used to produce LENR.
When this environment is combined with a plausible mechanism, many testable predictions result.
These insights and proposals are offered to help clarify understanding of LENR and to suggest future
studies. |

| Abstract |
It is universally accepted, even by nonscientists, that if the measured output from a physical
system is double, triple, or quadruple that obtained when the measured stimulus/input is doubled,
tripled, or quadrupled then there is a ?hcause and effect relationship?h between the input and
output (e.g. total energy input versus excess energy [or nuclear ash] output in a cold fusion
experiment). How does one quantify this scientifically, when random process disturbances and random
measurement noises preclude perfect linearity? This question is answered under the assumption of
Gaussian (or ?hnormal?h) departures from ideal linearity regarding t hetwo mentioned statistical
aspects. This is a generalization of the protocol propose dby Bass [1], which is more realistically
flexible in several respects. An arbitrary number N . 3 of similarly prepared samples is allowed,
and neither the voltage nor the current is required to be constant. However, the previous protocol
may be recovered as a special case when N = 5. |

Optimal laser wavelength for resonant transmission through the coulomb barrier |

| Abstract |
The 1993 point-particle, 1-D semi-classical quantum-mechanical theory of resonant transparency of
the Coulomb barrier [1], though admittedly crude, has some plausibility as to relevance and adequacy
because it predicts quantitatively different results for lattices of protons versus deuterons
embedded in host lattices of palladium versus nickel. Specifically it predicts that cold fusion is
likely with Ni cathodes and electrolysis with either ordinary or heavy water, whereas it is likely
only for heavy-water electrolysis with Pd cathodes. The question of whether or not this 1993 theory
has any predictive power regarding the 2003 Letts-Cravens effect is considered and answered as:
"partially." That is, the "optimal" range of wavelengths includes that
discovered by Letts and Cravens, but because of the possibility of multi-photon reactions it does
not uniquely single out their 680 nm as best, which would require a more detailed model (including
e.g. cathode temperature) than provided by the simplified 1993 theory. |

Abstract. With recent publicity outside the CMNS field it has become increasingly important to
clarify in non-specialist terms what is known and what is understood in the general field of so
called Low Energy or lattice Enhanced Nuclear Reactions (LENR). It is also crucial and timely to
expose and elaborate what objections or reservations exist with regard to these new understandings.
In essence we are concerned with the answers to the following three questions: What do we think we
know? Why do we think we know it? Why do doubts still exist in the broader scientific community?
In this Foreword to the Proceedings of ICCF15 I lean heavily on the experimental work performed at
SRI by and with its close collaborators (ENEA Frascati, Energetics and MIT) with a view to define
experiment-based non-traditional understandings of new physical effects in metal deuterides. |

| Abstract |
Low-energy nuclear reactions in micro/nano-scale metal particles are described based on the theory
of Bose-Einstein condensation nuclear fusion (BECNF). The BECNF theory is based on a single basic
assumption capable of explaining the observed LENR phenomena; deuterons in metals undergo
Bose-Einstein condensation. The BECNF theory is also a quantitative predictive physical theory.
Experimental tests of the basic assumption and theoretical predictions are proposed. Potential
application to energy generation by ignition at low temperatures is described. Generalized theory of
BECNF is used to carry out theoretical analyses of recently reported experimental results for
hydrogen-nickel system. |

| Abstract |
This report will discuss briefly some of the early calorimetric experiments on cold fusion and in
more detail, a single experiment just concluded.
A closed cell electrolytic experiment has been conducted using a palladium cathode and platinum
anode with accurate (+/-0.001 watt) calorimetric measurements. Results indicate a positive energy
output of approximately 50 Kilojoules more than was input to the experiment through electrolysis
current and heater current. The heat output was observed both as short term bursts of energy and as
long term sustained production. Colorimetric calibration with an internal heat source showed
essentially identical data before and after the electrolysis experiment. Material balance for
palladium, water and lithium showed essentially no material had been consumed during the experiment.
Tritium levels measured before and after electrolysis showed a factor of 3 increase that cannot be
accounted for by concentration effects. |

Microscopic Ball Lightning |

| Abstract |
Microscopic ball lightning, smaller than a tenth of a millimeter, has been produced by electrical
discharge and electrolysis experiments. It shares the anomalous characteristics of natural ball
lightning such as the ability to bore holes in materials and transmute atoms. It groups and
organizes in the same way as natural ball lightning, in chains and rings. It has anomalous effects
on materials, putting atoms into an anomalous state in which the atoms flow, move, organize, and
transmute. Atoms in this state may move with very little heat in their environment. Pictures of
microscopic ball lightning effects from various authors are included in this article to help
describe the behavior of the phenomenon. |

Elevated Temperature Excess Heat Production Using Molten-Salt Electrochemical Techniques |

| Abstract |
An investigation of elevated-temperature excess heat production in the Ti-D and Pd-D systems is
presented here. A eutectic LiCl-KCl molten salt saturated with LiD is used as the electrolyte in a
Pd/Al or Ti/Al electrochemical cell. Typical operating temperatures are around 370?C, which results
in faster kinetics compared to room temperature operation. If this system can be developed for
utility applications, high-grade heat and high thermodynamic efficiencies can be expected. Since the
electrolyte provides a very reducing environment, metal surface oxides are readily removed; thus,
this unique system offers the possibility of using less expensive materials than Pd. A modified
isoperibol calorimeter was built for the excess power measurements. Preliminary results show high
levels of excess power output, especially in the Pd-D system, although the effect remains sporadic.
This is the Fusion Facts version of the paper, with a different title. |

| Abstract |
A method for producing heavy electrons is based on a material system that includes an
electrically-conductive material is selected. The material system has a resonant frequency
associated therewith for a given operational environment. A structure is formed that includes a
non-electrically-conductive material and the material system. The structure incorporates the
electrically-conductive material at least at a surface thereof. The geometry of the structure
supports propagation of surface plasmon polaritons at a selected frequency that is approximately
equal to the resonant frequency of the material system. As a result, heavy electrons are produced at
the electrically-conductive material as the surface plasmon polaritons propagate along the
structure.

| Abstract |
ABSTRACT
Replication of experiments claiming to demonstrate excess heat production in light water-Ni-K2CO3
electrolytic cells was found to produce an apparent excess heat of 11 W maximum, for 60 W electrical
power into the cell. Power gains ranged from 1.06 to 1.68. The cell was operated at four different
dc current levels plus one pulsed current run at 1 Hz, 10% duty cycle. The 28 liter cell used in
these verification tests was on loan from a private corporation whose own tests with similar cells
are documented to produce 50 W steady excess heat for a continuous period exceeding hundreds of
days. The apparent excess heat can not be readily explained either in terms of nonlinearity of the
cell's thermal conductance at a low temperature differential or by thermoelectric heat pumping.
However, the present data do admit efficient recombination of dissolved hydrogen-oxygen as an
ordinary explanation. Calorimetry methods and heat balance calculations for the verification tests
are described. Considering the large magnitude of benefit if this effect is found to be a genuine
new energy source, a more thorough investigation of evolved heat in the nickel-hydrogen system in
both electrolytic and gaseous loading cells remains warranted. |

| Abstract |
Cold fusion (CF) is a possible phenomenon in which energy-producing nuclear reactions occur at
earth-surface temperatures rather than at high temperatures that are characteristic of hot fusion,
such as in the interior of the sun. CF was dramatically and unexpectedly announced at a press
conference in 1989. For a variety of reasons, including the method of announcement and difficulties
in experimental replication, CF was rejected by mainstream science within a year. Continued
experimental success under highly marginalized conditions in the years since rejection indicates,
with reasonable probability, that CF may eventually be found to be a real phenomenon. The scientific
results accumulated in the years since rejection include over 300 verifications of CF-related
phenomena. |

| Abstract |
Generalized theory of Bose-Einstein condensation nuclear fusion (BECNF) is used to carry out
theoretical analyses of recent experimental results of Rossi et al. for hydrogen-nickel system.
Based on incomplete experimental information currently available, preliminary theoretical
explanations of the experimental results are presented in terms of the generalized BECNF theory.
Additional accurate experimental data are needed for obtaining more complete theoretical
descriptions and predictions, which can be tested by further experiments. |

| Abstract |
In a series of papers, cited in the main body of the paper below, detailed calculations have been
presented which show that electromagnetic and weak interactions can induce low energy nuclear
reactions to occur with observable rates for a variety of processes. A common element in all these
applications is that the electromagnetic energy stored in many relatively slow-moving electrons can,
under appropriate circumstances, be collectively transferred into fewer, much faster electrons with
energies sufficient for the latter to combine with protons (or deuterons, if present) to produce
neutrons through weak interactions. The produced neutrons can then initiate low energy nuclear
reactions through further nuclear transmutations. The aim of this paper is to extend and enlarge on
various examples analyzed previously, present simplified order-of-magnitude estimates for each and
illuminate a common unifying theme among them. PACS numbers: 12.15.Ji, 23.20.Nx, 23.40.Bw, 24.10.Jv,

| Abstract |
Anomalous heat was measured from a reaction of atomic hydrogen in contact with potassium carbonate
on a nickel surface. The nickel surface consisted of 500 feet of 0.0625 inch diameter tubing wrapped
in a coil. The coil was inserted into a pressure vessel containing a light water solution of
potassium carbonate. The tubing and solution were heated to a steady state temperature of 249?C
using an FR heater. Hydrogen at 1100 psig was applied to the inside of the tubing. After the
application of hydrogen, a 32?C increase in temperature of the cell was measured which corresponds
to 25 watts of heat. Heat production under these conditions is predicted by the theory of Mills
where a new species of hydrogen is produced that has a lower energy state then normal hydrogen. ESCA
analyses, done independently by Lehigh University, have found the predicted 55 eV signature of this
new species of hydrogen. Work is continuing at Thermacore with internal funding to bring this
technology to the marketplace. |

| Abstract |
We gathered in the Leonardo Corporation building where the 10 kW apparatus for anomalous energy
production by nickel and hydrogen was demonstrated during a press conference on 14th of January.?
References [1] to [4] for the original papers describing the innovation are listed at the end. In
the same building, two CHP facilities were located, based on biodiesel from waste which Andrea
Rossi, prior to his present Ni-H activity, had developed.
The present test was done on a smaller device [5] than the 10 kW device that has been used earlier
during the January press conference. One of the reasons for going to smaller dimensions is safety
according to Rossi. |

| Abstract |
Recent studies on gas-loading of Pd nanoparticle materials have demonstrated consistent and
repeatable anomalous heat production in the presence of deuterium gas [1-4]. Our group has confirmed
anomalous heat production in zeolite and alumina powders containing Pd nanoparticles and found
additional features. Investigations at low pressure and slow loading showed a clear association
between exothermic and endothermic features and the presence of specific chemical species. These
provide insight into the underlying mechanisms and the crucial question as to the origins of the
anomalous heat. |

| Abstract |
We have attempted to replicate Pd-D Co-Deposition charged particle results reported by Mosier-Boss
et al. CR-39 pits similar to those reported by Mosier-Boss et al. were found using both in-situ
CR-39 and Mylar-protected CR-39. However, CR-39 protected by a combination of Mylar and a small air
gap did not show any pits. The electrolyte, as its chemistry changes during the electrolysis, is
shown to damage the acrylic cell containing the experiment and to damage an aluminum foil separated
from the electrolyte by a Mylar film. This damage together with the absence of pits when a small air
gap is added to the Mylar protection suggests chemical reactions may be the source of the observed
CR-39 pits. |

| Abstract |
On January 14, 2011, Andrea Rossi submitted his "Energy Catalyzer" reactor, which burns
hydrogen in a nickel catalyst, for examination by scientists at the University of? Bologna and The
INFN (National Institute of Nuclear Physics). The test was organized by Dr. Giuseppe Levi of INFN
and the University of Bologna and was assisted by other members of the physics and chemistry
faculties. This result was achieved without the production of any measurable nuclear radiation. The
magnitude of this result suggests that there is a viable energy technology that uses commonly
available materials, that does not produce carbon dioxide, and that does not produce radioactive
waste and will be economical to build. |

| Abstract |
Focardi and Rossi demonstrated a boiler device on 14 January 2011, which converted water at about
13?C to steam at 101?C. It was said to involve nuclear reactions between nickel built into the
device and input hydrogen gas. An electrical heater in the device consumed about 1000 W at startup.
Later, once the reactions started and provided heat, the input power was reduced to about 400 W.
Consumption of hydrogen gas was essentially negligible. |

| Abstract |
The electrolysis of heavy water is being investigated with an insulated flow calorimetric system. In
each of a series of tests, the electrolyte was 0.1 to 1.0 LiOD in D2O and cylindrical
palladium cathodes surrounded by wire-wound platinum anodes were used at cathode current densities
of 100 to 800 mA/cm2. The most recent test was made with a "closed system"
without off-gas in which the electrolysis gases were internally recombined. Fast neutrons and gamma
rays were measured continuously during each test. It was shown that certain system perturbations
could initiate and extend the generation of excess power. In one test, an apparent increase in the
neutron count rate was also coincident with system perturbations. |

| Abstract |
Measurement of a reaction between D2 gas and a material using a calorimeter that is
calibrated using H2 will show erroneous excess power production at temperatures above
ambient if all energy present in the calorimeter is not totally measured, a requirement very
difficult to accomplish. This insidious error is explored using a stable Seebeck calorimeter. |

| Abstract |
As a result of the empirical knowledge now in hand, it is not unreasonable to imagine safe and green
sources of nuclear power for homes, free of carbon emissions, which also will relieve stress on the
power grid, because they might be small and distributed. LENR could be the basis for portable
nuclear power sources, maybe even batteries. The production of clean drinking water by desalination
or by purification of polluted river waters is one of the many, and perhaps the most attractive
potential applications of LENR. The world health implications of clean water would be momentous.
Those of us who work on the Fleischmann-Pons Effect find it an exciting and challenging field of
research with remarkable practical potential. As a scientific effect, it is already historic. It
remains to be seen if it will turn out to be a "game changing" practical source of energy. The field
is indeed EXCITING NEW SCIENCE and it offers POTENTIAL CLEAN ENERGY. |

Is the Occurrence of Cold Nuclear Reactions Widespread Throughout Nature? |

| Abstract |
The generally accepted idea is that the paper of Fleischmann, Pons, and Hawkins of 1989 gave the
first evidence that nuclear reactions occur in the cold in a palladium-deuterium (Pd-D) electrolysis
system. However, published accounts on elemental change in solids have been around since before the
discovery of the nucleus. Thus, the earliest evidence for creation of new elements was that reported
for reactions in biological systems. In view of the wave of negative opinion against the 1989 and
thereafter work, it is interesting to note a U.S. Army report of 1978 which concluded that the
evidence for nuclear reactions in biology was strongly positive. Even less well-known is that U.S.
government labs in the 1970s experimented with neutron emission arising from the passage of very
high currents through wires, conditions under which thermonuclear reactions should not have been
occurring. |

| Abstract |
Dr. Leslie C. Case, an experienced chemical engineer with four degrees from MIT, surprised all of us
at ICCF-7 by revealing his process of gasphase "catalytic fusion," which he has developed over the
past six years or so. He was inspired by the 1992 work at NTT labs by E. Yamaguchi --helium
production and excess heat evolution from Pd in gas-phase cold fusion. (Ironically, Yamaguchi at
ICCF-7 was less sanguine about the implications of his own work that can reproducibly generates
excess heat from deuterium gas loading of thin-film palladium foil "sandwiches." Yamaguchi is no
longer of the opinion that his excess energy is a nuclear effect, but this conclusion may not be
correct.) |

The collective wisdom of the so-called Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the

taught in the sacred halls of academe'is scientific heresy worthy of mockery and rebuke. That is the
message, by commission and omission, that is conveyed in CSICOP?s ritualistic debunking of cold
fusion and related low-energy transmutation discoveries. |

| Abstract |
Reading this translation and compilation of a number of Prof. Louis Kervran?s pre-1970 works is very
disturbing, producing the disorientation that accompanies a possible deep paradigm shift in science.
Kervran (1901-1983), a medical scientist and engineer with a high official position in the French
research and occupational health community, had a life-long interest in the possibility of
biological transmutations. His curiosity apparently began in his youth when he watched the hens
pecking at specks of mica in the farmyard. His later professional observations concerned (in one
small part) the anomalous reappearance of robust calcium-bearing eggshells in calcium-deprived
chickens that had been administered dietary mica (a potassium-rich mineral). Over a century earlier
(in 1799), French chemist Louis Nicolas Vauquelin had noted this. The Kervran bio-transmutation
story and its background is summarized eloquently in "Alchemists in the Garden," a chapter
of the best-selling book The Secret Life of Plants by Peter Tompkins and the late Christopher Bird. |

| Abstract |
Long time Infinite Energy readers are aware that we have repeatedly and vigorously discussed ethical
issues that attend the multifaceted cold fusion controversy, a battle within the scientific
community that has been roiling and boiling since March 1989. Thus, we were happy to receive a copy
of the academic journal Accountability in Research (Vol. 8, Nos. 1-2, 2000), in which eight essays
assess, in the words of Editor-in-Chief Dr. Adil E. Shamoo, "The Ethical Import of the Cold
Fusion Controversy." This material makes up 90% of this journal issue and is a worthwhile
162-page collection of comment and history. Unfortunately, the journal is not widely available
except in specialized libraries.
NOTE: All of the Accountability in Research papers were later added to the LENR-CANR.org

Almost seven years ago in an issue of Infinite Energy (#15/16, July-November 1997), we discussed
some of the material that follows. But in 2004, with the U.S. Department of Energy?s impending
review of the past fifteen years of evidence for low-energy nuclear reactions (a.k.a. "cold
fusion"), it is an appropriate time to review -- in a fresh light -- a most critical turning
point in the saga of cold fusion. In an episode which occurred in the spring of 1989, we find the
seeds of the disastrous DOE response to cold fusion. Upon further investigation, I later found that
the false premises that gave rise to the "Cold Fusion War" were evident as far back as
1964. |

Infinite Energy founding editor, the late Dr. Eugene Mallove, attended the First Annual Conference

research for his "on again/off again" book contract from John Wiley & Sons (the
publisher cancelled, then reinstated the contract for Fire from Ice: Searching for the Truth Behind
the Cold Fusion Furor, which was ultimately released in May 1991).
The conference ended on March 30; on April 1, Gene recorded notes to himself about the event. We
present here excerpted portions of the transcript, which are testament to Gene?s commitment to and
excitement for the cold fusion field from the very start. |

| Abstract |
To the delight of many at the Seventh International Conference on Cold Fusion (ICCF-7) in Vancouver,
BC last April, a new approach to cold fusion emerged. Dr. Les Case, an experienced chemical engineer
with four degrees from MIT, announced what he is calling "catalytic fusion" -- to distinguish it
somewhat from the original electrochemical approach. He had concluded that the electrochemical
method of Fleischmann and Pons was going to continue to be limited by materials issues -- palladium
cracking, composition, etc. -- and the inherent difficulties of working with electrochemical
systems. Furthermore, he wanted to achieve the higher temperatures that are allowed by gas-phase
systems. |

| Abstract |
Not all attendees at the American Physical Society?s Centennial Meeting, held March 20-26 in
Atlanta, Georgia, were scientists in the true sense of that word. Many of them were
pseudoscientists, as their behavior proved. Some 1,000 physicists, including, we are informed,
President Clinton?s Science advisor, were present as three pseudoscientists took turns mocking cold
fusion at a session dubbed, "Science, Junk Science, and Pseudoscience," Monday afternoon, March 22. |

| Abstract |
Distinguished Professor of Chemistry at Texas A&M University, John O?M. Bockris, is one of the
top two or three electrochemists of the twentieth century. He must be counted as a lineal
intellectual descendant of one of the greatest scientists of all time, Michael Faraday, who was of
humble birth but became a towering figure of nineteenth century science. Like Bockris, Faraday was
raised in England and came to love many facets of science. In addition to his fundamental
discoveries in electromagnetism, Faraday had much to do with the birth of electrochemistry. . . . |

| Abstract |
Last December the world celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Wright brothers? triumph: the first
controlled flight of a heavier-than-air craft on December 17, 1903. In honor of that now
well-recognized historic event, we are reprinting a reflection by Wilbur Wright himself, which
appeared in the Aero Club of America Bulletin in April 1912. The great aviation pioneer was
celebrating the work of the now (2004) and then (1912) little-known Louis Pierre Mouillard, whose
1881 book, Empire of the Air, apparently played a seminal role in the history that led to the
Wrights? accomplishment. It is a fascinating story that offers lessons for the struggling New Energy
community. Sad to say, the very next month, on May 30, 1912, Wilbur Wright died of typhoid fever.
His brother, Orville, who had piloted the first flight, lived on to 1948. |

INTRODUCTION
These introductory remarks illustrate the controversial climate that existed when the NRaD program
investigated the anomalous effects the Pd/D system exhibited. These effects included, among others,
excess enthalpy production at rates exceeding those usually associated with chemical reactions. The
controversy concerns the origin of the observed excess enthalpy which, according to Fleischmann and
Pons, is due to room temperature nuclear events involving deuterons present within the Pd lattice,
hence, the term cold fusion. To avoid unnecessary arguments, this report refers to the phenomenon as
the Fleishmann-Pons (FP) effect. |

ABSTRACT
Recently, Fleischmann et al. [1] reported that nuclear events can occur when deuterium is
electrochemically compressed within the Pd?lattice. These events were reported to produce excess
enthalpy, tritium, and neutrons. The exact nature of these events and the conditions leading to
their initiation are poorly understood. In fact, the existence of such events is questioned by many
[2]. The present position among those investigating this problem [3] is as follows: enthalpy
production is a non?steady state process whose rate depends on the nature of the electrode material;
however, the observed steady state production arises from an averaging of small perturbations.
Nuclear events are believed to occur on the electrode surface as well as within the electrode
interior.

| Abstract |
The discovery of "Cold Fusion" has been announced officially by a press conference on
March 23rd 1989 at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. The shock wave produced by the Pons and
Fleischmann announcement is probably unique in history, due to the fact that emails and fax machines
helped propagate the good and the bad news altogether at light speed. Hundreds laboratories around
the world immediately tried to replicate the experiment. However, details of it were not well known
and doing electrochemistry and calorimetry altogether is a difficult art and takes time to master.
Therefore most nuclear scientists tried to detect the assumed accompanying radiations produced by
the well known reaction D+D producing either He-3 and a neutron or tritium and a proton with equal
probability. |

| Abstract |
Seventeen years after the announcement by Professors Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann of the
discovery of cold fusion in March 1989, the scientific community does not acknowledge this field as
a genuine scientific research theme. However, the scientific demonstration of cold fusion was made
long ago by showing the evidence of excess heat production in electrolytic cells and other devices.
Also, nuclear ashes have been observed, mainly the formation of helium-4 along with the production
of excess heat. What makes this field difficult to accept is the lack of the usual particle emission
observed in nuclear science or high-energy physics. In some instances low-level neutron production,
X-ray emission and transmutation of elements have been measured. At this point there is no
satisfactory theory explaining the unique characteristics of condensed matter nuclear science. Many
models have been proposed, several of them using textbook physics. |

| Abstract |
The phenomenon called cold fusion has been studied for the last 21 years since its discovery by
Profs. Fleischmann and Pons in 1989. The discovery was met with considerable skepticism, but
supporting evidence has accumulated, plausible theories have been suggested, and research is
continuing in at least eight countries. This paper provides a brief overview of the major
discoveries and some of the attempts at an explanation. The evidence supports the claim that a
nuclear reaction between deuterons to produce helium can occur in special materials without
application of high energy. This reaction is found to produce clean energy at potentially useful
levels without the harmful byproducts normally associated with a nuclear process. Various
requirements of a model are examined. |

A Seebeck Envelope Calorimeter (SEC) was designed and built. The inner volume is 17.6 L. Its outer
wall temperature was controlled within 0.01?C. The device constant was 6 W/V and its time constant
was 5 minutes. Dash-type cells were tested. Both an isoperibolic calorimeter and the SEC measured
excess heat with the same Pd cathode of 25 ? 25 ? 0.3 mm3. The SEC showed excess heat
ranging from 0.15 ? 0.02 to 0.41 ? 0.03 W (average value 0.22 W) at applied current of 3 to 3.5 A
(0.24 to 0.28 A cm-2). |

We have constructed an experimental system to replicate the phenomenon of heat and 4He
generation by D2 gas absorption in nano-sized Pd powders reported by Arata, and to
investigate the underlying physics. We performed calorimetry during D2 or H2
absorption with micronized powders of Si, Pd and Pd-black. With D2, after the palladium
deuteride formed, the cell produced 8.3 ?4.5 kJ (or 2.6 ?1.4 kJ/g), which is somewhat larger than
the systematic error of 4.0 kJ estimated from an H2 blank. |

| Abstract |
A constant heat flow calorimeter is described and its application to a Fleischmann-Pons experiment
is detailed. In this calorimeter the electrolytic cell is contained in an isothermal chamber into
which electrical power is fed from two separate sources. One source feeds biasing power
Paux to an auxiliary resistive element located in the chamber while the other source
provides, Pe, the electrochemical power requirements for the cell. The cell temperature
T1 is maintained at its set point by varying Paux as needed. Clearly power needs to be
removed from the cell if a steady state is to be maintained and this is accomplished by inducing
heat flow through a thermal link to a reference body whose temperature T2 is less than T1. . . . |

| Abstract |
Charges of the same polarity bound to a surface with a large dielectric contrast exhibit an
attractive long-range Coulomb interaction, which leads to a two-particle bound state. Ensembles of
like charges experience a collective long-range interaction, which results in compacted structures
with interparticle separations that can be orders of magnitude smaller than the equilibrium
separation of the pair potential minimum. Simulations indicate that ensembles of surface bound
nuclei, such as D or T, exhibit separations small enough to result in significant rates of fusion. |

| Abstract |
I suggest that neutron clusters of sufficient size are bound and stable against strong decay; and
that they can react with ordinary nuclei by transferring neutrons to them, accepting neutrons from
them, and binding with them to form composite nuclei. Implications of this enlarged scope of nuclear
physics are explored, including a chain reaction with nuclear fuel 2H that produces
energy, 4He, 3H, and a wide range of nuclear transmutations. Natural
explanations emerge for these and other nuclear phenomena for which evidence has been accumulating
over the past two decades. |

Super-wave has generated the long lasting, high gain "excess heat" in deuterium/palladium
systems during Energetics Technologies, ENEA, and SRI collaboration. There must be an internal wave
nature of the deuterium/palladium systems, which is in response to external super-wave,
particularly, near the surface of the deuterium/palladium systems. Three sets of experimental data
in the past 7 years at Tsinghua University are summarized to reveal this wave nature (please see
abstract (I)). A simple theoretical model was set-up to understand this wave nature. |

| Abstract |
Recent ab-initio theoretical study of interaction between electromagnetic radiation and metal
deuterides indicate a new mechanism for deuteron acceleration, which along with possible large
electron screening in the metal targets could potentially strongly enhance the yield of DD-reaction
in metal deuterides at room temperature. In this research we continue our study with regards to the
role of electromagnetic excitation of hydrogen subsystem in metal deuterides to enhance the yield of
low energy nuclear reactions (LENR). To this aim we have carried out 5 series of experiments on
charged particle detection using plastic track detectors CR-39, under in-vacuum electronbeam
stimulation of various metal deuterides during spontaneous deuterium desorption (if any) from the
deuterated samples. |

| Abstract |
Recent ab-initio study of hydrogen desorption from metal hydrides with a high hydrogen solubility
[V.M., Silkin, I.P Chernov et. al, Phys. Rev., B 76, 245105 (2007)], showed that excitation of the
hydrogen subsystem in those deuterides results in plasmon formation leading to generation of strong
electric fields (F ~ 10E8V/cm) within at a lattice parameter scale (a ~ 0.3-0.4 nm). As a result,
the mean energy of desorbed protons/deuterons (Ed) escaping from the hydride surface would
effectively be increased from kT ~ 1/40 eV to several eV (Ed= F x a ~ 3-4 eV) or two orders of
magnitude increase, effectively producing "hot" deuterons |

| Abstract |
Wave nature of deuterium flux permeating through the palladium thin film is revealed using nanometer
coating layers. Three sets of experimental data[1,2,3] agree with wave in multiple-layer theory
quantitatively or qualitatively. Other than granular particle diffusion model and surface catalyst
model, the wave nature of deuterons inside the coating layers must be included in order to explain
the experimental phenomena. |

Abstract
At ICCF-14, we presented the means whereby the repulsive Coulomb barrier between hydrogen
(deuterium) nuclei is reduced in length, perhaps by orders of magnitude. This mechanism, involving
optical phonons and electric fields (internally or externally generated) in a lattice that induce
the formation of H- H+ (D- D+) pairs, increases the tunneling probability by more than 100 orders of
magnitude. It has additional major consequences.
The lattice constraints and collision processes force the ions into a temporary, but cyclic, 1-D
configuration that greatly deepens the electron ground-state potential well. The tightly-bound and
energetic electron pair (a local-charged Boson - the lochon) becomes more than strong screening, it
becomes a binding force between the nuclei. Thus, the Coulomb-barrier height is reduced as well as
its length. With this greatly enhanced barrier-penetration probability, the energy level of nuclei
with reasonable tunneling probability drops from the multi-100 keV range down into the eV range. . .

| Abstract |
The probability of pm-Ms reactions for low energy nuclear reactions LENR and the semiempirical
derivation of 2 pm deuteron screening on palladium with a reduction factor 14 in Coulomb repulsion
compared with a usual plasma factor 5 was confirmed later by direct experiments. Generation of 2pm
distance clusters of about 150 deuterons based on this screening and possibly by a Casimir force
permitted understanding of compound reactions as measured with the 155 nucleon minimum measured at
LENR. These kinds of deuteron clusters were directly measured by SQUID. Based on screening and
comparable values of a Wigner-Seitz radius for very dense deuteron clusters of stable Rydberg matter
in defects of iron oxide with measured 2.3 pm nuclear distance is another access which may lead to
an understanding of the LENR processes. |

| Abstract |
Lithium Fluoride, LiF, is a radiation sensitive alkali halide material well known as dosimeter and
as active medium in light-emitting devices and lasers. Point defects can be produced in LiF crystals
and films by different kinds of radiation. Some of these electronic defects, known as colour
centres, are optically active, with broad absorption and emission bands in the visible spectral
range. Novel thin-film imaging detectors for soft X-rays, based on photoluminescence from aggregate
colour centres in LiF, have been proposed and are
currently under development, successfully extending their operation also in the hard X-ray region,
up to 10 keV. Recently their use was proposed and preliminarily tested to obtain
the image of radiation emitted from a nickel film hydride loaded by electrolysis, under light
coupling with an He-Ne laser. |

| Abstract |
The Fleischmann-Pons Effect [1] (FPE) was swiftly rejected when published in 1989, yet a significant
number of researchers have since reported energy gains in similar experiments; for a review see ref.
[2]. These gains have been associated with "cold fusion" or Low Energy Nuclear Reactions
(LENR) where energy is released from a deuterium-deuterium (d-d) fusion. Clearly, this raises
fundamental questions because the probability of a d-d fusion, under the conditions of the FPE cell,
is extremely small. As stated in ref. [1], "it is necessary to reconsider the quantum mechanics
of electrons and deuterons in such host lattices."
The goal of this paper is to predict possible changes in the probability of d-d fusion, caused by
perturbations to the energy barriers or positive interference caused by the effects of adjacent
atoms in a lattice. We report preliminary work on formulating quantum-mechanical models of the
behavior of deuterium atoms trapped in a lattice. |

In recent years, doped perovskite such as barium cerates (BaCeO3), strontium cerates (SrCeO3) and
barium zirconates (BaZr03) have been studied as ceramic proton conductors for several technological
applications: protonic membranes, hydrogen separation, catalytic support and solid oxides fuel cell
components. Among those compounds, yttrium doped barium cerates have the best performances in terms
of protonic conductivity at lowest temperature. |

| Abstract |
Recent experimental evidences clearly indicate that the reproducibility of excess heat production is
correlated with the cathode surface properties. To support the results, a theoretical frame has been
also developed, that suggests that a relevant role in the excess heat production is played by the
electrodynamics processes at the cathode interface. In particular, one of the mechanisms involved is
the enhancement and spatial localization of the electro-magnetic field at the metal/electrolyte
interface, promoted by proper surface roughness and morphology. |

Aim
It has been reported that charging of highly pure D2 gas into Pd nano-powders in the form of Pd/ZrO2
nano-composite contained in a stainless-steel vacuum vessel has induced significant excess heat.
We have constructed an experimental system to confirm the phenomenon of heat and 4He generation by
calorimetry and investigate the underlying physics. |
