Special Pd-B alloy electrodes prepared by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory produce the cold fusion excess heat effect in nearly every experiment, and the excess heat appears very early (within minutes) after the electrolysis begins for the electrochemical cell.

Equations developed for isoperibolic electrochemical calorimetry were tested for the electrolysis of D2O in an open calorimetric cell. The derivatives of these equations gave correct values within the experimental error range for the important rate of change of the cell temperature with time (dT/dt). In addition, these calorimetric equations were a...

It is now known that cold fusion effects are produced only by certain palladium materials made under special conditions. Most palladium materials will never produce any excess heat, and no helium production will be observed. The palladium used in our first six months of cold fusion experiments in 1989 at the China Lake Navy laboratory never produce...

A rechargeable molten salt electrolyte battery has an anode comprising lithium, a cathode electrode comprising a conductive metal that is compatible with the nitrate melt, an electrolyte comprising lithium nitrate or lithium nitrate mixtures with other nitrates which electrolyte is capable of becoming an ionic conductive liquid upon being heated ab...
