The last results of our cold fusion experiment

Dears friends, just back from Grottammare meeting of April 17/18, I can finally give the latest news, so much wanted by many of you, and related to experiment you are keeping on around the Mizuno/Ohmori cell, or Naudin, or others you want to recall.
In the first instance has to be said straightforward that the cell, along the experimental steps, did undergo several transformations which brought it to a complete variation respect to the original project, offering some uniqueness really peculiar, which did permit, let’s say, to obtain a pretty new picture both theoretical and behavior .
To avoid impurity of any sort, able to modify measurement, we did not utilize, contrary to the Mizuno/Ohmori cell, the anode made of inox-steel, but we did prefer to utilize one made of tungsten, to avoid accounts of steel deposit on the cathode.
We did already give enough information about this method from the very beginning, cause we did start our experiment, utilizing this material, after really a short time.

The alkaly solution utilized, as from the beginning, a pure potassium carbonate in different concentrations, has been used and tested. Anyway, before choosing the potassium carbonate, as the best candidate, the “Caserta Group” made experiment with acid ph solutions and different cations like magnesium, lithium and sodium. Their utilization showed different plasma colour depending on the cation used. Studying the plasma behaviour through electrolysis with different cations, gave us a better understand, at a good level, what kind of phenomenology is playng a role and gave us the opportunity to strengthen the thesis we are going to explain next.

SEM analisy with Osmio presence

We stress and support that the idea of using a tungsten anode respect to steel as been fundamental. Thanks to this solution we did not find, on the cathode, iron, chromium, and carbonium, as pointed out by nippon scientists. But, on the contrary, we found trace of renio, itterbio, osmio, tulio and gold too. The presence has been verified trough the use of a raster electronic microscope, and thanks to the gentle support of friends working in local university and having such kind of instrumentation.

During the tests we have been able to adapt and use a particular geometry of the cathode which did permit us to obtain zones with a very high density current.
We ought to call this zone “reaction band”. During some tests, in such a zone we
estimated density current of 10A/cm2.

Preheating of the electrolytic solution is fundamental, cause this method offers the right conditions of electrical conductivity, that are basics for a correct ignition of the plasma and the birth of an ionic transient.

After many nights lost about discussions and excess of brain storming, with the last beer still in our hands, we are able to explain what could probably be our model of this working cell.

Everything starts with the gradual heating of the cathode into the solution. This heating, generated by the Joule effect, starts to be abundant during the critical instant of plasma ignition. This critical instant, depending on the solution temperature and the voltage applied to the cell, is born when bubbles of gaseous hydrogen became too many and
create a galvanic insulating screen between solution and cathode. The positive potassium ions locked onto the external parts of the cathode, generates the electric discharge which
starts the plasma action. The radiometer gives, in this phase, exact indications and characteristic of such mechanism. Just after, the plasma surround the cathode increasing the temperature of the submerged part. While this happens the protons, contained in the electrolitic solution, begin its discharge in the higher zone of plasma: the “reaction zone”.

Possible nuclear reactions:

Let’s say that this mechanism of plasma generation leads the tungsten, in a more or less period of time, to assume a temperature over 3000*. This value is seen by photos taken by a microscope, that clearly shows the zones where the metal melts. We know that the tungsten melts to about 3400* C.
The tungsten, when reaches such temperatures, is known to be also a strong emitter of
thermoionic electrons. And more; the special cathodic geometry, we did introduce, forces the hydrogen ions flux (protons), present in the solution, to concentrate in a particular area of the tungsten cathode. One more very special effect comes from the potassium ions of the electrolitical solution that, surrounding the cathode, forms the positive armature of a virtual condenser and a linked, particular catalyst effect to the reactions we are going to explain.

tungsten cathode fusion

Things are going this way. Thanks to the coherent status of plasma and to the very great presence of electrons inside it, plus the “condenser effect”, due to the alkalyn cation which does not deposit on the cathode, happens that, sometimes, one electron instead of joining a proton to forms an hydrogen atoms, collide against it generating one neutron following the relation:

Or , in the same way

The neutrin sign has been used considering the necessity to equilibrate the energy contents, but at this point, it remains an hypothesis. It is possible to have a different reaction, but in regard to neutrons, they are really produced. We do know what we are saying as we know that this reaction, inside the actual paradigm, is a very improbable nuclear reaction, or only acquired with a very high amount of energy. Anyway, we are
sure enough that with the plasma working at specified conditions, in what we call “ reaction band”, the formation of neutrons is possible. Once they are generated happens that some of them penetrate the nucleus of an atom of tungsten increasing his mass number

We do not know if one of the 5 natural isotopes of tungsten is going to participate
In this process. Anyway, the results of joining neutrons inside a nucleus is that the mass number of the element increases and with it, also, the instability of the nuclear construction. The nucleus stability will be obtained with a neutron decay emitting an electron beta, and leaving one proton in the nucleus. When a new proton in the nucleus appears, we can surely affirm that the original atom is not anymore belonging to tungsten, is something else:

(notationorare equivalent)

In such a way , and with more neutron capturing, is explained the presence of all other elements and, in the same time, the cell is able to produce energy.

SEM analisy with Renio

To be able to justify the presence of nuclei preceding the tungsten, which are present in the cathode, is possible the happening of a particular sequence of electrons capturing. We show a series of known reactions from physics, in which starting from tantalium ( element preceding one place the tungsten ) it arrives precisely to tulio through itterbio; we found, both of them, on the cathode::

It is possible to hypothesize tungsten will transmutate as tantalium and after give life to nuclei with inferior atomic number.

If the Japanese did not found such reaction is due to another peculiarity of our cell, obtained via the inserting of a new “reaction chamber” we came upon it, unwillingly, but it did came out to be winning to obtain abundance of nuclidi. Everything is related to the volumetric and geometrical shape of this chamber.


Conclusion

To be short, as soon as in our tungsten cathode we realize the right conditions, we are able to synthesize nuclidi that are not normally present on it. We do operate a transmutation. The tungsten is transmutated in renio and tulio, osmio, erbio, itterbio and gold too. The renio is the element that, in the periodic table, follows the tungsten, the same for osmio and gold. The tulio, erbio and itterbio instead are preceding it.
Quantity and weight of this metals are very low and gold is a few millions of grams. Anyway, the scientific results are valuable.

Talking about the thermic energy produced by our cell, we are able to estimate it with a major precision respect 5 months ago. We reached the conclusion that the thermal increase are very noticeable. Considering the more than 70 tests done until now, we have measured only heating and evaporation of water, with an efficiency of 120%. The heat estimated loss are about 25% of total amount and the energy of expanding gas reaches certainty values close to it, we can say that the cell shows an elevated efficiency.

One hypothesis still to be verified and proved is that the nucleons internal to the nuclei of the atoms forms special geometrical distribution. Could be that some of this forms shows a major attitude, respect to others, to react to external events modifying such geometrical assets. We are apt to believe that such geometrical forms helps the neutrons adsorbing, and the transmutation that follows.

The “Caserta Group” is willing to go ahead with experiments if they get funding, so to be able to explore others materials for cathodes and more about new plants situation they are willing and glad to suggest.
