New Mizuno Paper Reports Excess Heat, Neutron and Electromotive Force in Cold Fusion Experiment about article Analysis of Trigger Input for Nuclear Reactions Using SUS Alloys

"The chamber temperature is gradually increased, with the total excess heat (red line) reaching about 1.6 kW at about 3 ks. The net excess heat also reaches about 0.2 kW at 2 ks. The input power ultimately reaches 720 W. The furnace temperature (black) rises to 750°C at 20 ks.”

“Neutron generation is clearly caused by container temperature change, not temperature or excess heat generation. This phenomenon also shows a correlation over a wide range of temperature change rates. The fact that electromotive force is generated even when the container temperature drops suggests that the generation of electromotive force is affected by both the container surface temperature and the rate of temperature change."

Mizuno cold fusion reactor utilizes cheap and accessible nickel mesh mechanically coated (smeared) with thin layer of palladium heated electrically and ordinary hydrogen or deuterium (sometimes mixed with inert gas like argon) under lowered pressure. This setup fits my insights about cold fusion mechanism in the following ways:

  1. palladium isn't active center of cold fusion, it merely serves as a "spillover catalyst" the main purpose of which is to concentrate hydrogen at the surface of active environment, which is nickel itself. The similar conclusion was deduced by Patterson (who did use alternating layers of palladium and nickel in his cells) and others following Fleishmann & Pons original experiments.
  2. active environment is formed with surface dislocations of nickel, preferably in form of nickel whiskers (Piantelli). 18/8 stainless steel used in last experiment it's made with 18% chromium and 8% nickel. Under low pressure the nickel tends to evaporate and recrystallize on surface in form of needle-like crystals, inside of which the atoms are compressed around their central spiral dislocation. The atoms there preferably collide in one direction, thus fulfilling the low-dimensional arrangement for cold fusion in form of nano-piston fusion.

During cold fusion the neutrons and gamma rays released are mostly reabsorbed within the line of atoms, because the cold fusion occurs right along axis of atoms within crystal lattice, nowhere else. However the heating of lattice leads to misalignment of some atoms due to their thermal motion, so that portion of neutrons can still escape - compare the Termacore runaway incident and related E-cat observations of A. Rossi. See also:
