Method of controlling a chemically-induced nuclear reaction in metal nanoparticles

A nuclear reaction can occur when metal nanoparticles are exposed to hydrogen isotopes in the gas phase. When hydrogen isotopes (light hydrogen and deuterium) enter the nanoparticles and are exposed to electron irradiation, the hydrogen reacts inside the lattice producing energy. The reaction also produces neutrons, gamma rays and transmutations. Normally, electron irradiation does not produce anomalous heat or radiation. A reaction occurs when hydrogen acts as a heavy fermion (a heavy electron) inside metal nanoparticles below a certain particle size, allowing the hydrogen isotopes to approach one another closely. Usually, with deuterium, to cause a fusion reaction it is necessary to supply energy of 107 K, or 1 keV per atom. With light hydrogen it is necessary to supply 1.5 x 107 K, for a reaction rate of 10-31. With a reactor system on a scale smaller than the sun, a significant fusion reaction does not occur. However, when heavy electrons enter the outer shell of a proton, the radius of the hydrogen atom becomes exponentially smaller with respect to the weight of the heavy electrons, bringing the protons closer together. When this happens, the probability of tunneling fusion increases exponentially. The nuclear reaction can be controlled with this energy production method of bringing protons and heavy electrons together inside nanoparticles. This brings within reach the goal of developing a practical nanoparticle energy reactor

Monitoring of Hydrogen Absorption into Titanium Using Resistometry

Hydrogen absorption into Ti electrodes during electrochemical cathodic polarization was monitored using resistometry. Electric resistance of Ti increased with H absorption due to growth of a hydride layer from the surface toward the inside. The growth rate of the hydride layer was estimated from resistance data and was found to depend on the polarization current density, existence of a preformed anodic oxide film, and shape of the specimen. For example, preformation of an anodic oxide film at a potential higher than the breakdown potential, rather, promotes hydrogen penetration. In the case of a thin wire electrode, the hydride layer grew in a nonuniform manner because the volume expansion induced cracking on the surface. Therefore, the average thickness of the hydride layer was estimated from the change in resistance. ©2002 The Electrochemical Society. All rights reserved

Cold Fusion By Plasma Electrolysis of Water

Abstract: It has been disclosed that transmutation of the atomic nuclei of alkaline metals and the atomic nuclei of the cathode material takes place during plasma electrolysis of water. As a result, excessive quantity of gases is generated
