Abstract

This paper examines the microscopic structures of palladium metals used for cold fusion experiments. Tiny spot defects suggesting cold fusion have been observed in grain boundaries as the Nattoh model predicts. The relationship between these defects and a series of neutron busts and an indirect loop of hydrogen chain reactions are discussed.

Experiments of one-point cold fusion

Journal Article Matsumoto, Takaaki - Fusion Technology; (United States)

Experiments of one-point cold fusion have been performed by electrical discharging in ordinary and heavy water mixed with 0.6 mol/l potassium carbonate. A platinum pin anode was located perpendicular to a copper plate cathode. After discharge, the surfaces of the copper plates were examined by an optical microscope. Many ring spots caused by gravity decay of single and di-neutrons were separately distributed on the plates. Furthermore, several kinds of traces that might be produced by itonic hydrogen clusters and by tiny black and white holes were observed. The mechanisms of cold fusion by electrical discharge are also discussed in termsmore »« less
Observation of meshlike traces on nuclear emulsions during cold fusion

Journal Article Matsumoto, Takaaki - Fusion Technology; (United States)

Cold fusion products from the electrolysis of heavy water have been directly measured by using a thin palladium foil. Several anomalous traces have been clearly recorded on nuclear emulsions. Some traces have meshlike structures, which are classified into two types: (a) ones associated with ring traces that are caused by the gravity decay of quad-neutrons and (b) ones with no ring traces. The mechanisms that form these meshlike traces are discussed in terms of the Nattoh model. It is inferred that multiple-neutron nuclei such as quad-neutrons, covered by itonic mesh and iton beads, are born during cold fusion. Furthermore, othermore »« less
Cold fusion experiments with ordinary water and thin nickel foil

Journal Article Matsumoto, Takaaki - Fusion Technology; (United States)

Cold fusion experiments with ordinary water and thin nickel foils are described. The temperature variation and the surface condition of the foils are examined. It has been proven that ordinary water can produce excess heat. Furthermore, reaction products are recorded on nuclear emulsions. Charged particles, electrons, protons, and deuterons, are observed. Micro-explosions caused by gravity decay of neutron nuclei are also recorded. Many traces indicating tiny black holes and white holes are clearly observed. The mechanisms of cold fusion with ordinary water are discussed in terms of the Nattoh model. 17 refs., 9 figs.
Preliminary experimental study on cold fusion using deuterium gas and deuterium plasma in the presence of palladium

Journal Article Gu, A; Teng, R; Miller, M; ... - Fusion Technology; (USA)

The authors describe a series of experiments using deuterium gas and deuterium plasma in the presence of palladium designed to observe the possibility of cold fusion. Two kinds of preliminary experiments were recently performed. One involved the diffusion of deuterium gas into paladium. The gas was cooled by liquid nitrogen, and then the temperature was permitted to rise to room temperature, going from near -34 to 19{sup 0}C (-30 to 67{sup 0}F) in 75 min. A spherical lithium neutron detector, 21 cm from the palladium gave an audible indication of neutron levels approximately equal to, but above, background. A secondmore »« less
Palladium metallurgy and cold fusion; Some remarks

Journal Article Murr, L - Scripta Metallurgica; (United States)

In this paper the recent confusion surrounding claims for the observation of cold fusion involving palladium electrodes in electrochemical cells containing deuterium might be clarified to some extent if the palladium metallurgy, particularly in the context of fundamental microstructures, are accurately defined. Both the palladium/hydrogen and palladium/deuterium systems have been extensively investigated, and it is asserted more than two decades ago that the palladium/hydrogen system was perhaps the most extensively, experimentally investigated metal/gas system. Ordinary hydrogen absorbed in palladium fused to form helium, while in the 1940's Wilner actually observed the fusion reaction at the center of the current coldmore »« less
