Francesco Celani continues Live Open Science with Open Power Association

The following is a google-translated and slightly modified Press Release from Open Power Association at hydrobetatron.org. The original in Italian is here.

*************************************
We are honored to be able to announce that Prof. Francesco Celani officially will collaborate with Open Power!

Francesco Celani, besides being always our friend as well as an esteemed scientist, is an honorary member of “Open Power” from the foundation of the Association itself.

On Thursday, December 11, 2014, Francesco Celani visited our new laboratory in Rome where he met with Ugo Abundo, our President and Scientific Director of the Open Power Association, for a scientific debate on issues of common interest. On this occasion, the relationship of scientific collaboration that will occur between us and Francesco Celani was made official.

Interviewed by Luciano Saporito, his words filled us with pride about our commitment in the field of new energy. Francesco Celani claimed that “the Open Power laboratory is well structured and the enthusiasm of the researchers involved is strong. The research ranges in different, complementary directions, is carried out in specific work islands; procedures are scientifically confirmable, and the equipment well-built and well-engineered; the fields of investigation are integrated and promising, and the proposed solutions innovative and desirable to make optimal maximum effort in running the designed projects.”

Francesco Celani also explained, in some detail, to Ugo Abundo the NEW discovery (June 25 2014) an electrical phenomenon, apparently not due to known phenomena, due to the interaction of Hydrogen gas with long (100cm ) fine wire (diameter 100 microns and 200-meter) of Constantan (alloy Cu_55%, Ni_44%, Mn_1% with traces of iron from 0 to 0.5%) having the surface covered by the same Constantan with reduced dimensionality (measured between 50 and 5000 nm with SEM) as a methodology developed by the LNF even with help, at various levels of external colleagues.

The whole is measured, at a macroscopic level, when such INDIVIDUAL wires, electrically isolated from each other, with sheaths made of borosilicate glass, placed inside a reactor also having the hydrogen gas, have an internal temperature of about 150° C and external next environment.

In other words, it is as if you were in the presence of a new form / method (apart from the well-known Seebeck effect and / or Thompson) DIRECT CONVERSION from Heat to Electricity. From the point of view of scientific speculation, the role of Hydrogen understood as mono-atomic and / or even proton is a truly challenging idea. Obviously we’re just starting, though recent (December 15, 15:00) results show that the ignition temperature is not 150° C but only (about) 55° C. Some suggestions on the issue of “abnormal current” were provided to Francesco Celani also by some researchers, collaborators Open Power.

Francesco Celani is Senior Researcher of the National Institute of Nuclear Physics in Frascati (INFN), and Vice President of the International Society of Nuclear Science and Condensed Matter (ISCMNS). Francesco Celani came to the study of “Cold Fusion”, now called LENR, out of “suspicion”, as he himself tells us. Indeed, he has always operated by the “methodological skepticism” of Descartes, always inspired by the desire for “truth”. As Franklin Eugene Mallove denounced the falsifying of data in a report on “Cold Fusion” experiments by the MIT (due to the interests of the establishment and related to funds for research on nuclear fission which they already enjoyed), Francesco Celani has courageously instigated the diffusion of two internal documents he himself accidentally discovered on two NASA research efforts on “Cold Fusion”, (that of Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons), which validated results from years ago.

Francesco Celani in his decades-long work as an Experimental Physicist, was always animated by a spirit truly Scientific, (also a worthy interpreter of the tradition of the experimental method of Galileo Galilei). He is also a proponent of a vision given to the needs of humanity in general, and to the Italian people in particular, that is, as far as possible, having real evidence in the daily life of the” Citizens Whatever, and now open source, the science itself.

His previous participation in the methodology of Live Open Science (LOS), founded by the working group “Martin Fleischmann Memorial Project” in 2012, continues, and is further strengthened. Both collaborations, with MFMP and Open Power, share the same goals in the same fields of human knowledge: one at International level and the other National.

GlobalBEM PULSE #3: “We ourselves are the biggest obstacle to breakthrough”

The Global Breakthrough Energy Movement is a collective of artists, activists, and technologists creating events and forums for new energy researchers in order to power a revolution in human living arrangements, and they have published another edition of their flagship magazine.

PULSE presents science and technology in the field of breakthrough energy. The gorgeous PULSE #3 is a sensory banquet of full-page, beautifully-printed art, and has articles on topics such as The Agonizingly Long Wait for Breakthrough of Breakthrough Energy by Fred Teunisson, who laments the lack of progress in commercial development of new energy technology, and ultimately takes a hard look in the mirror for why.

This issue also features an article on The Explanation of Low Energy Nuclear Reaction by Dr. Edmund Storms, a book that compares the observational data from cold fusion experiments with the many theories of LENR. Cold Fusion Now’s Ruby Carat was one of the editors of the book and designed the front cover hydroton.

Dear Friends,
Open Power wishes you a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Open Power Associatoin ITAbetatron reactor. — Work is progressng on Open Power Association’s *ITAbetatron* reactor.

The reactor ItaBetatron is now ready to begin the planned experiments. In the coming weeks we will enter the heart of the work, and we all wish success in this endeavor! In this case, we will finally have a new source of energy: clean, inexhaustible and economical, that creates the conditions for the welfare and prosperity of the peoples of the Earth, and at the same time combats global warming, and the dangerous climate change taking place, and saving the planet Earth.

All your help will be useful, if not decisive. Therefore, please renew your subscription to the Open Power Association, or subscribe for the first time. This is the greatest gift you can give yourself! And you can also receive a nice gift!

To become an Associate with Open Power CLICK HERE!

The Open Power Association is one year young. We knew that the road would be full of many difficulties, and we did not imagine to see our strength grow so concretely:

We became legal, we received the scientific support from many distinguished honorary members, we organized a multifaceted lab, we built equipment for mechanical construction and electronics, measuring instruments, chamber handling powders, we created a multimedia environment for meetings, a website appreciated over the oceans, developed multipurpose reactors and related equipment for the power unit, a power-pulsed high voltage line for the production of hydrogen on-demand, section of calorimetry, microscopy, chemical and electrochemical under the hood, and shielding with anti-radiative detectors for the production and measures on plasmas.

We have implemented educational measures, obtained insurance for safety and prevention, and finally, designed a deep experimental campaign towards the most advanced research directions suggested from the theoretical analysis, narrowing the multitude of options, thanks to the methodical “hypercube center” of our design.

On the theoretical level, we have developed different behavioral patterns in the possible operating modes of the reactions, to be guided by them during the trial, published in Conference Proceedings and internationally peer-reviewed Journals.

All this, thanks to the economic contribution of our own members and the many hours of competent and passionate volunteer work.

And, before you go, consider that to ask for outside funding, we would be in a contract and at a disadvantage; we want to achieve important experimental results can only be attributed to independent strength.

Therefore, it is with pride that we are communicating that the experimental campaign ITAbetatron started! – with our own strength, (and not cheap!), in just one year. We simply ask you to renew your registration, with payment of the fee-based or fee-supporters:

NUCLEAR WASTE? NO Thanks!

The Chernobyl disaster occurred April 26, 1986
The UN reports that in 2005 there were 4000 people died as a result of radiation. The consequences of radiation due to the explosion of the nuclear reactor in Chernobyl affected not only Ukraine, but also Russia and Belarus. The Ukrainian authorities have estimated that a total of 5 million people have suffered for castastrofe nuclear. A good portion of those still living in the contaminated regions. According to Greenpeace, the result of radioactive contamination have been immune system diseases, heart disease, cancer that may cause even between 100 thousand and 400 thousand deaths in the three former Soviet republics.

The accident in central Fukushima Dai-ichi occurred in March 2011
There could be between 15 and 1,300 deaths and between 2400 and 2500 cases of cancer, radiation caused by the accident in the Japanese nuclear power plant Fukushima Daiichi. And as they indicate the first estimates of the health impact of the nuclear accident in Fukushima on 11 March 2011, published today in the journal Energy and Environmental Science. The model was developed by Mark Jacobson and Ten Hoeve, University of California at Stanford.

What is the status of “THE ITALY-JAPAN PROJECT FUNDAMENTAL RESEARCH ON COLD TRANSMUTATION PROCESS FOR TREATMENT OF NUCLEAR WASTES”, circa 1995/96?

-A missed opportunity!

This scientifically-founded project, if it had been followed up in Italy, would probably have permanently solved the very serious problem of cleaning up nuclear waste. Unfortunately, it was not followed. Why? Whose responsibility is this? We provide below some documents about this puzzling affair, with the hope that we can take this path to a solution.

Abstract
The IJ Project proposes, as the first phase research, that confirmation of the cold transmutation using radioactive isotopes as Cs-137, Sr-90 and Cs-135 to non-radioactive elements will be implemented based on the MHI method. A theoretical background has been given by the TSC-induced nuclear reactions3). Charge neutral pseudo-particle of 4d/TSC can become as small as 10 fm radius in its minimum state of squeezing motion and will make 4D-capture reaction with host metal (or added metal) nuclei in the surface region of permeation1,2) samples. Major reaction will be: M(A,Z) + 4d/TSC → M(A+8, Z+4) + Q Theoretical modeling of the process is briefly explained and resulting reaction products, their decays and final stable isotopes are predicted for Cs-137, Sr-90 and Cs-135n transmutations.

The 15th Meeting of the Japan CF-Research Society was held November 1-2, 2014 at the Hokkaido Citizens Activities Promotion Center in Sapporo, Japan.

This year’s event was co-hosted by Hideki Yoshino, Founder of Clean Planet, Inc, a company providing resources to the LENR research community there, and Dr. Tadahiko Mizuno, scientist with Hydrogen Engineering Application & Developing Company and author, Nuclear Transmutation: The Reality of Cold Fusion. [buy].

Members from academia, business, government policy makers and industry in Japan were present. Dr. Akira Kitamura, an experimentalist associated with Technova, Inc and Kobe University, listed about ten active cold fusion research projects active in the country during his presentation in 2013 at ICCF-18 in The Way Forward panel [watch]. It was representatives from these groups who reported at the JCF-15 conference.

The program alternated between sessions on experiment and sessions on theory.

Co-organizer Hideki Yoshino said, “Emeritus Professor Takahashi from Osaka Univerisity presented his theories based on the results of Professor Kitamura and Dr. Iwamura from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. These parities demonstrated the spirit of cooperation needed and the importance of collaboration by delivering tangible results.”

Yoshino described the “passionate” atmosphere of collaboration, and hints at a possible set of benchmarks to be delivered:

“Due to the relatively remoteness of Saporo, the conference attracted passionate and committed individuals from their respective fields to contribute in a manner which at times became very intense. This passion and intensity translated to the exchanges, which raised the bar for all those who attended to deliver on goals which otherwise wouldn’t have been set. These exchanges not only raised the bar on measurable and deliverable targets but also made each individual accountable to the collective group.”

“The attendance of Emeritus Professor Kasagi from Tohoku University further demonstrated the quality of the the attendees. He aggressively challenged each one of the presenters on their respective theories and the results of their experiments. His strong demeanor insured the validity and accountability of factual information of theories and processes.”

Proceedings from the meeting have not yet been released, however previously published papers describe some of the research tracks.

Experimentalist Tadahiko Mizuno of Hydrogen Engineering A&D Co. gave the Opening Address and presented Analysis of Heat Generation using Pd and Ni Fine Wires. Recently, archivist Jed Rothwell of lenr.og spent time with Dr. Mizuno and produced Report on Mizuno’s adiabatic calorimetry [.pdf].

Nuclear Transmutation: The Reality of Cold Fusion by Dr. Tadahiko Mizuno

November 22, 2014

SRI replicates six different types of cells

Dr. Michael McKubre describes his career researching cold fusion/LENR/CMNS at SRI, in Cold Fusion; 25 years of research at SRI presented November 5, 2014 in Oslo, Norway.

Presentation slides are here from lenr-canr.org.

A description of the visit was published by Infinite Energy Magazine.

The Norwegian Academy of Technological Sciences (NTVA) and The Norwegian Society of Graduate Technical and Scientific Professionals (Tekna) sponsored the event as part of a one-day seminar Can LENR provide cheap and clean energy? drawing a capacity-crowd of around 60 people.

Former-head of Norway Defense Research Establishment and Nuclear Engineer Nils Holme chaired the committee, inviting speakers Sten Bergman of Stone Power AB in Sweden, and Hanno Essén of the Department of Mechanics, Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Stockholm, Sweden, and Øystein Noreng, an economist from Norway.

Hanno Essen, the past Chair of the Swedish Skeptics Society, recently released a report describing tests made of the E-Cat reactor, and spoke about “the various Rossi replications”.

Sten Bergman represented the energy industry perspective on LENR and Øystein Noreng spoke on “economic and other challenges of bringing any kind of LENR technology to the marketplace.”

McKubre also gave “the up-to-date status of Brillouin Energy’s latest technical progress”. SRI has been working with Brillouin Energy Corp. on the testing and design of an evolving energy cell. The design’s on-demand control of the reaction needs only a higher thermal output to be commercially viable.

Slide from M.McKubre: Brillouin Energy gas flow cell gets up to 650 degrees

McKubre lists Blacklight Power, Francesco Piantelli, Andrea Rossi, Defkalion, and Brillouin Energy Corporation all as working towards a commercial product using “small dimension nickel” and light-hydrogen. As small start-ups try to piece together a product, smart communities are preparing for a world without fossil fuels. McKubre writes that the seminar was called for to help Scandinavians educate themselves and plan for a future after the rich, local oil and gas resources run out.

“The object was to inform the possibility that Martin Fleischmann was right (and, by implication, Randy Mills, Mel Miles, Francesco Piantelli, Les Case, Yoshio Arata, Andrea Rossi, Tadahiko Mizuno, Defkalion, Brillouin and a host of others afterwards),” writes McKubre.

Slide from M.McKubre 25 Years Research at SRI: Successful replications of six different types of cold fusion experiment.

McKubre writes, “I believe what my hosts would like to see is at least one active, productive research project established in a Nordic country (Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark) that would allow this community to “pay to play” in the LENR/CMNS world and thus be prepared for any sudden advances. A secondary purpose would be to train young people to be the next leaders of any ensuing technology.”

“This is a reasonable and rational approach that I certainly support. Let me say that more strongly. Any major country or company that does not engage now, or soon, runs a serious risk of missing the start of the revolution and being trampled.”

“That is not to say that I know that LENR will contribute significantly to primary power generation in any form in the near future, or that I know how.

But having studied the field closely now for more than 25 years (more than 35 years if you count our earlier studies of the Pd-D system for other reasons), nothing I know stands as significant impediment to this achievement…

… and the hoped-for goal of the “good guys” appears to be rapidly approaching. For a long time now corporations have been “lining up to be second” — afraid of the stigma, afraid to be left behind, but with insufficient courage to go first.[2]”

“With this in mind the Norwegian strategy of “hedging” seems to be entirely appropriate with no risk attached and very little cost associated. In the worst case young people can be trained in relevant disciplines of physical sciences and physics that will have high value in a wide range of applications and implementations. In the best case Norway, Sweden and whichever Nordic country chooses to be involved can position themselves to be at or near the front of the coming wave.”
