In the record of a lecture on cold fusion given at the Osaka Patent Attorneys Association in 1994 (Patent magazine, Vol. 47, No.4, 1994), what I foresaw about 30 years ago was as follows. In response to Fleischmann-Pons' announcement of "abnormal heat generation due to an unknown nuclear fusion reaction" in the heavy water palladium electrode elect...

This is English version of JCF23 Meeting Presentation by Takahashi et al for reporting latest experimental results of our MHE (nano-metal hydrogen energy) aka cold fusion and discussion for improving thermal power generation.

Presentation pdf for JCF23 Meeting JCFRS March 5 2023, by Akito Takahashi et al This report is description of our latest MHE experiments and discussion about ways to improve excess thermal power generation.

Our R&D aim is to increase and continue longer the excess thermal power (Wex) by the anomalous heat effect (AHE) aka cold fusion, through clarifying the mechanism of MHE (nano-metal hydrogen energy) reaction 1-4). In the previous reports 2, 4) , we reported that the close correlation between AHE power level and the loading ratio of hydrogen (H/Ni)...

This paper is extended abstract to ICCF24 Conference, for asserting a key factor to induce cold fusion energy in condensed matter, to be studied for many researchers. There are found two cases for generating excess thermal power in correlation with H/M loading ratio. One is strong excess power by H/M > 1.0 condition under optical phonon excitation...

Seeking the correlation and consistency between our AHE (anomalous heat effect) data (not yet published totally) in current MHE (nano-metal hydrogen energy) experiments and the underlying dynamic solid state physics mechanism for reaction sites of 4H (or 4D)-cluster formation in the TSC theory. I have found the following conclusion. From understand...

This site was once removed accidentally by mishandling, and now re-uploaded. It’s surprise now that the H-gas loading run to nano-composite Ni catalyst systems (as reported from MHE-Kobe, Tohoku U, and also from US, French and China groups) do produce similar amount of excess power as the D-gas loading does, particularly/efficiently at elevated tem...

We have studied the so-called AHE (anomalous heat effect) by calorimetry of our C-system. The C-system was designed to make accurate detection of excess thermal power larger than several W/kg-sample.

The main MHE power generation pattern can be explained by the nuclear energy release of 4H/TSC WS fusion events at T-sites of Ni nano-cores by dynamic 4H cluster formation of 4 protons moved from O-sites under phonon excitations in GMPW (global mesoscopic potential well) of Ni-nano-islands. This is the major process of power (about 20W in our runs)...

To explain the experimental observation of close correlation between evolution of excess thermal power and H/Ni loading ratio in our latest MHE experiments by the D-system (see forth uploading conference papers and ppt presentations of JCF22 Meeting, March 5 2022), the guiding theory of 4H/TSC WS fusion looks matching very well.
