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

Theres lots to read on this topic

Weve 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

Someone has suggested that we make a New Energy Dictionary Would that be helpful?

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

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

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

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 weve finished discussing the more traditional approach to LENRs

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

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

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

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

This made it very unlike the hot fusion reaction that occurs in the hydrogen bomb

Because Pons & Fleischmanns reaction didnt require high temperatures, people began calling it cold fusion How, exactly, did the reaction work?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Lets look at an animation of what may be happening in the lattice once it is full (meta-stable)

Its thought that the Hydrogen-4 atoms, once they are formed, then undergo beta-decay to form Helium-4

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This fusing releases excess heat into the lattice

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

Indeed, it was noticed in the process of trying to replicate Pons & Fleischmanns experiments that some replications attempts failed while others succeeded

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

The Pons & Fleischmann reaction was very unlike traditional electrolysis

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

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 couldnt understand Pons & Fleischmanns results or dismissed them as measurement errors

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

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

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

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

Dr. Celanis nickel-hydrogen LENR reactor

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

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

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

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

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

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

To sum up for Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions using lattices, please remember that: Pons & Fleischmanns 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!

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

LENR using lattices continues to be one of the hottest areas of New Energy research Keep up with the latest developments in LENR at pesn.com & www.nangluongmoisaigon.org

Now we are ready to get into one of our most exciting areas of New Energy physics. Are you ready for #10?
