Cross section enhancements in conductors | The probability of fusion reactions in conductors’ lattice is higher than in gas or plasma. This effect is often called “Screening”, meaning that the Coulomb barrier is lowered in a conductive solid [5] [6] [7] |
Neutron multiplication in deuterated Pd | Researchers found that saturating Palladium metal with Deuterium and submitting it to neutron beam results in a neutron multiplication, suggesting neutrons can start nuclear chain reactions in deuterated Palladium [8] [9] |
Nuclear Transmutations in Solids | Some conductors, typically Palladium, Nickel, Gold, graphite, upon Hydrogen isotopes loading (for instance, by electrolysis, gas loading, glow discharge), present a large array of new elements, both lighter and heavier, suggesting fission and fusion reactions [10] , along large liberation of heat |
New superconductors at higher temperatures | High-temperature superconductors (like Bismuth strontium calcium copper oxide, Yttrium barium copper oxide) have superconducting properties at temperatures above liquid nitrogen boiling point (77˚K), easing the cooling of magnets |
Neutron generation in deuterated metals | Deuterated metals, like Titanium, Palladium, Erbium, present neutron emissions under neutron, electron beam or gamma radiation. If subjected to a radiation beam, the quantity of neutrons (and nuclear reactions along a large number of new elements) increases greatly [9] [11] [12] [13] |
Plasmoids | Plasmoids are plasma magnetically confined within a magnetic bottle generated by currents that flow in the plasma itself, rather than in external coils. In other words, plasmoids use magnetic self-compression to achieve plasma pressures required to fusion. Plasmoids have limited lifetime (micro or milliseconds scale), being unstable, but may have a role in pulsed regimes [14] |
