LENR-CANR.org

There are a lot of good scholarly articles on this website. The Introduction for Students, by Edmund Storms, is good. I read it last night.

Cold Fusion: Fire From Water

Interesting documentary narrated by Scotty. Interviews with Edmund Storms, the late Eugene Mallove, and Michael McKubre, who has been working on Cold Fusion at SRI and collaborating with Italian ENEA.

Engine Running on Water



I think all they did was wind their own coil for the sparkplug, so the voltage is much higher. Using a Bifilar Coil instead of a one-stranded coil can generate voltages that can arc across a larger spark gap.

The Big Guns




Here's our new power supply. The grey thing on the right is the Variable Transformer we were using before. The Blue Box is a step-up transformer that can handle up to 4,000 V. The stuff in the milk crate is our capacitor array for smoothing out the 60 Hz ripple on the DC. This new setup now isolates the secondary side of the transformer, so we can actually ground the cathode. The white coil is going to be a choke I put in series on the Anode to prevent violent current fluctuations. Eventually I'd like to use a bifilar coil with the other strand being on the cathode, to maximize voltage and minimize current draw.

This equipment is heavy and is kindof overkill for our purposes. But safety first! :) I'm using it because it can handle the unexpected voltage jumps that occur when plasma forms.

Eventually, I'd like to use a Flyback Converter instead of all this, so that the entire system can run off a 12 V car battery.

Papers

Here are some papers describing what happens during plasma electrolysis. Some were published in peer reviewed scientific journals.

Nuclear Transmutation: The Reality of Cold Fusion

Mizuno describes the dank, underground laboratory. He does not mention that his own laboratory is the size of a broom closet and so crammed with equipment you can barely fit in the door. The roof leaks. A large sheet of blue plastic is suspended over the corner of the room, funneling the rain water down to a sink and away from the computers, meters, power supplies and complex, delicate, beautiful handcrafted experimental apparatus, made of aluminum, stainless steel, platinum, palladium, gold and silver.
