3. This brings us to our ninth physics
theory that can help you work with
New Energy.
It is called “LENR”, meaning “Low
Energy Nuclear Reactions”

4. There’s lots to read on this topic

5. We’ve already seen that physicists like
to play word games, and give many
names to the same thing.
Another name that people often use
to call LENR is “cold fusion” and you
will also hear it referred to as
“transmutation”, “quantum reactions”,
or “chemically assisted nuclear
reactions”

6. Someone has suggested that we make
a “New Energy Dictionary”
Would that be helpful?

7. The LENR field has been developing
extremely fast over the past 25 years.
Because scientists have developed 2 basic
types of LENRs, we are going to make a
distinction today between
(1) “Traditional” LENRs (which occur within
a lattice… well, at least some people think
they do) and
(2) LENRs caused by water cavitation

8. In both forms of LENR, we are essentially
producing energy from water

9. And this brings to mind author Jules
Verne’s prediction that
"water will one day be
employed as fuel, that
hydrogen and oxygen of
which it is constituted
will be used“
(1874)

10. Because Water Cavitation is such a big field
in itself, we are actually going to call that
our next field of physics (#10), which we
will address once we’ve finished discussing
the more traditional approach to LENRs

11. Pons & Fleischmann are credited as
the ‘grandfathers’ of Low-Energy
Nuclear Reactions (LENRs)
• Their 1989
experiments began
modern LENR
research
• At that time, everyone
called it ‘cold fusion’

12. Under pressure from the petroleum industry,
the U.S. Department of Energy led a campaign
to discredit Pons & Fleischmann
• Nonetheless, their
initial results from
the 1989 experiment
have since been
replicated thousands
of times

13. It was called a form of ‘fusion’ because it
appeared that 2 deuterium (2H) atoms were
combining to form Helium-4 and a significant
amount of excess energy in the form of heat

14. However, the
reaction occurred
at normal room
temperature and
emitted no
harmful radiation

15. This made it very unlike the ‘hot’
fusion reaction that occurs in the
hydrogen bomb

16. Because Pons & Fleischmann’s reaction
didn’t require high temperatures, people
began calling it ‘cold fusion’
• How, exactly, did the
reaction work?

17. Pons & Fleischmann placed a palladium cathode
into a tub of deuterium oxide (2H20) and lithium
salts, and then applied an electrical current

18. The palladium cathode carried a
negative charge.
Because the electrical current caused
the deuterons to separate from their
oxygen atom in each water molecule,
the deuterons were naturally attracted
to the palladium cathode

19. Now, palladium exists in the form of a
lattice, and it is a very spacious lattice

20. The deuterons
move along the
lattice and most
of them get
trapped in the
lattice

21. Eventually, the lattice gets full and at this
moment, strange Zero Point effects
(including excess heat) are observed

22. Many scientists believe that the deuterons get so
jam-packed inside the lattice that the Coulomb
barrier is overcome and they then begin to fuse
together with an electron to create Hydrogen-4

23. Let’s look at an animation of what may
be happening in the lattice once it is
full (“meta-stable”)

24. It’s thought that the Hydrogen-4
atoms, once they are formed, then
undergo beta-decay to form Helium-4

25. However, Dr. Edmund Storms (formerly of Los
Alamos National Labs) points out that while the
lattice is filling with deuterons, another process
is occurring which is equally, if not more
important, for the production of excess heat

26. According to Dr. Storms, some
deuterons get stuck in cracks existing
in the palladium lattice

27. Indeed, as the lattice fills with deuterons, we
can see how this might put stresses and strains
on the lattice which would promote cracking

28. Within these cracks, hydrogen nuclei
and electrons get stuck, and they tend
to do so in an alternating series

29. Normally, two hydrogen nuclei in close proximity
would repel one another, but it is thought that
the intervening electrons allow the protons to
get close enough to one another to overcome
the Coulomb barrier

30. As the protons in the hydrogen nuclei
get closer and closer, photons are
emitted and this causes them to get
even closer still, until fusion occurs

31. When subjected to resonance
(possibly as a result of the lattice
shaking), the Hydrogen nuclei start to
fuse

32. This fusing releases excess heat into
the lattice

33. Dr. Storms likes to consider these cracks in
the palladium to be like little “assembly
lines” or incubators of the fusion process

34. Indeed, it was
noticed in the
process of trying to
replicate Pons &
Fleischmann’s
experiments that
some replications
attempts failed
while others
succeeded

35. Upon closer inspection, it was found that the
replication only succeeded when cracks were
present in the palladium cathode

36. The Pons & Fleischmann reaction was
very unlike traditional electrolysis

37. As Faraday showed, this method of
splitting the water molecule can never
produce excess energy

38. A key difference, according to Prof. Robert
Bush (California Polytechnic University,
Pomona), is that the Pons & Fleischmann
experiment accessed Zero Point Energy
• This is probably one
reason why many
scientists in 1989
couldn’t understand
Pons & Fleischmann’s
results or dismissed
them as measurement
errors

39. ZPE is why the LENR
approach to
separating the water
molecule (in this
case, 2H20) produced
much more energy
than traditional
electrolysis

40. Scientists also think that Zero Point Energy
allows the fusion reaction to occur without
emitting dangerous radiation

41. After Pons & Fleischmann, many scientists
tried to improve on their method

42. Dr. J. Patterson used combinations of
nickel/palladium and platinum/titanium; and
he used regular water instead of 2H20

43. Dr. Celani’s nickel-hydrogen LENR
reactor

44. Dr. Jean-Paul Biberian (Faculte des
Science de Luminy) used Lanthanum
Aluminate ( LaAlO3 ) to create LENR

45. Perovskite (CaTiO3), which cracks easily,
has also been used successfully in LENR
experiments

46. Drs. Kozima and Tada may have made
a breakthrough in their LENR
experiments using polyethylene (XLPE)
to produce transmutation of several
elements in the periodic table

48. The Kozima & Tada experiments
suggest that LENR may help us to
safely clean up nuclear waste

49. Mitsubishi currently holds a patent on
such a process, and we may see it used
at the Fukushima facility

50. Some general tips that inventors have shared
for LENR experimentation include:
• Activated carbon can help to catalyze the
LENR reaction
• Lasers can also help stimulate the fusion
process

51. To sum up for Low-Energy Nuclear
Reactions using lattices, please
remember that:
• Pons & Fleischmann’s experiments have been
replicated & proven valid thousands of times
after initial attempts in the 1990s to discredit
these scientists
• Besides palladium, many other metals and
alloys have been used
• The more cracks the metal has, the better!

52. To sum up for Low-Energy Nuclear
Reactions using lattices, please
remember that:
• New research is going beyond metals and
getting into hydrogen-graphites, XLPE, etc.
• LENRs can produce excess heat – in other
words, they can power overunity systems
• LENR also involves transmutation of elements
based on the release of Zero Point Energy
• LENRs have been successful with both
deuterium oxide and normal water

53. LENR using lattices continues to be
one of the hottest areas of New
Energy research
