I'm surprised that this article has not been commented on yet... We now have a PhD condensed matter physicist at NRL validating, unequivocally, a LENR effect, and that they have also established theoretical basis; their DFT simulations agree with empirical results.
“The Naval Research Labs (NRL) ran over 300 experiments using pure Pd cathodes, all of them yielding negative results. Then somebody suggested that NRL should try an alloy of 90% Pd and 10% Rh. The very first such alloy cathode they tried yielded over 10,000 Joules of excess thermal energy – all from less than 1 gram of cathode material. I ran Density Functional Theory simulations on that alloy, and it, too, satisfies all the conditions given above, while pure Pd and pure Rh do not. NRL christened this cathode with the name Eve, after the obvious Biblical analogy. I’m pleased to share the news that Eve had a number of “sisters” who produced equal and even greater excess thermal energy, among a number of other more interesting effects. Finally, I can observe that the materials simulations now make it fairly easy to evaluate any given solid lattice material and estimate its level of LENR activity. We have good correlations between the simulation results and the known levels of experimentally-determined LENR activity in a number of different alloys whose dominant elements come from the Transition Metal Group of the Periodic Table. Hopefully, we will be able to get all the details of this material released for publication to the general public over the next few weeks.” The article also gives the mainstream physics community an out on how they treated LENR... up to now anyway. -Mark Iverson -----Original Message----- From: a.ashfield [mailto:a.ashfi...@verizon.net] Sent: Tuesday, October 06, 2015 10:09 AM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: [Vo]:LENR theory I sent this information directly to Vortex but it never appeared.
