Nuclear fusion as a source of abundant clean affordable energy is vital but it comes with some bother

Where there is nuclear fire, the dogma of nuclear physics says, there must be nuclear ash

Cold Fusion smoke and ash comes in the form of very little radiation but abundant helium

We are working hard to help usher the end of the fossil fool age

For more than 30 years since cold fusion was announced to the world from the least likely scientific location, Utah, it has been controversial. The most damning of its critics have simply harangued those in the field with their incantations and demands to see the nuclear ash. The fusion of two hydrogen nuclei, heavy hydrogen aka deuterium, must be accompanied by the production of helium, specifically the helium 4 isotope. In my old stand by favourite form of cold fusion, HOT DRY cold fusion, seeing is believing, it has made helium aplenty in the past for me, very soon I trust it will again.

This 4He chart shows a definitive measurement of the prolonged production of helium over almost a month in one of my HOT DRY cold fusion experiments. The control, green, is the matched simultaneous ‘light hydrogen, experiment. The steeply rising RED shows the 4He growing in the sealed D2 system. This work was funded by myself and the Electric Power Research Institute and performed by me at Stanford. Click to read more

Over the years a few researchers, including myself, have been able to repeatedly show that helium with their cold fusion heat and other effects. So far no one has seen any number of neutrons that might be correlated with cold fusion effects. A precious few have shown tritium, an even rarer heavy hydrogen isotope but it’s presence while indisputable doesn’t seem to correlate with heat.

As for hard radiation, an even rarer precious few have reported gamma radiation, but again the gammas while indisputable are clearly produce at levels 6-8 orders of magnitude less than the accompanying heat signatures.

It bears mentioning that some odd radiation has appeared from time to time. Many years ago when I first spotted this odd radiation in a glow discharge ‘Hot Dry’ cold fusion experiment I was shocked, to say the least. It was a finding that defied understanding as it appeared as if it were neutron-like.

I was not dead, so it couldn’t be neutrons.

It took less than 24 hours for me to learn about how important my finding was from the father of nuclear fusion himself, the great Edward Teller. Teller rang me up the very next day at my home/laboratory in Palo Alto insisting that I come to his office at Stanford to tell him about my ‘interesting’ experiment. He ended up giving me a lot of help over the following months in understanding what I had found, which he called ‘mischugenons’ ‘crazy particles’, were something I later learned he long been on the trail of. Eventually, he wanted to sign me to continue the work in what my legal advisors said looked too much like a dark program for comfort.

The Joys Of Helium

In the search for cold fusion nuclear ash, the only really productive tool is a good helium mass spectrometer. These instruments are expensive and demanding in operation and to date, I would venture that no more than a dozen cold fusion/lenr researchers, worldwide, have made use of them. All competent searches for helium have found it when there was a solid cold fusion heat signal present. In the LENR family of light hydrogen advocates, those who have tried to hide from the ‘cold fusion’ moniker and its travails, I know of no lab that has employed the use of a good helium mass spec.

A strange idea among many LENRist’s is that they claim effects take place in ordinary, light hydrogen. I for one have worked in both heavy and light hydrogen with fantastic mass spec resources of my own and as provided by world-class national labs. I have never seen a whiff of heat or ash from any light hydrogen experiment. Plenty of LENRist’s will protest that they have seen ‘nuclear ash’, transmutations and the like, but I am still waiting on the data from instruments capable of discerning one isotope from another or for that matter solve the issue of hydrogen ion combination masses. In this I risk joining the ranks of the dogmatic classical ‘cold fusion’ denialists who rankle me with their blind demand to be shown nuclear fire + smoke and ash. If you don’t look you will never see.

I have been impressed by the recent announcements of Mizuno of Japan and his apparently great cold fusion ‘deuterium’ based experiments. His large reactor almost a meter long and 10 cm in diameter runs with what I call a ‘HOT DRY’ cold fusion configuration. Mizuno has in his kit a proper mass spec. He in fact mentions the absolute need for the characteristics his high vacuum mass spec places on his experimental configuration without which it seems unlikely any fusion would result.

Mizuno’s cold fusion fireplace experiment that he reports kept his cold northern Japan Sapporo home warm over the winter with 300 watts of electrical power delivering a steady 3000 watts of thermal heating! Click to read more

Manna from heaven, or rather I should say Oz

As I expressed my eagerness to repeat Mizuno’s work given it is so similar to my own work and experimental protocols I was pleased as could be when yesterday a very expensive and difficult to orchestrate without deep pockets high vacuum quadrupole mass spec fell like manna from heaven. Good on ya mate.

We just need to rent a small van and go pick it up and it’s pretty much state of the art. With a bit of effort and some fine-tuning, it should become the match for the similar helium mass specs that I have used so often in my cold fusion R&D.

Now with a Baker’s Dozen of my own cold fusion experimental kits running and shortly a Mizuno style variation on the theme the reliable large heat signatures that I have so commonly been seeing and my lovely accompanying gamma girls will soon be dancing and singing with an elevated helium pitch. What could be better? Thanks, Mizuno San.

Stay tuned for more reports on every day working cold fusion technology complete nuclear fire with smoke and ash. Alas, success brings changes and now the challenges of scaling up the business of Atom-Ecology to deliver its technology as working models. These early devices are being made ready to cook meals, heat homes, and power industry and transportation. It’s a big job but there is truth in the saying that “the greatest danger to the world, is waiting for someone else to save it.”

Science is a wonder to behold but only technology in hand will save this world from the ravages of the fossil fool age.

Update 28 October 2019: Alas the Mizuno miracle described above has proven elusive, so far noone of a few attempts to replicate have proven to see any anomalous heat. It seems even Mizuno has difficulty with this. Time may tell, or as has been so often true in this field, not tell anything. When one-off results prove unrepeatable they tend to morph into being null.
