    CleanHME final event held at the University of Szczecin

    “The CleanHME final event was held at the University of Szczecin during January 23-24, 2025. All participants presented their latest achievements. These final accomplishments include:

    Direct observation of high-energy particle emissions from low-energy nuclear reactions, measured by multiple laboratories.
    Calorimetric observation of excess heat production under elevated temperature conditions, at ideal temperatures for highly efficient heat-to-electricity conversion, measured by multiple laboratories
    These final achievements shall be described in upcoming public deliverables.

    While our project is approaching its completion, all participants plan to continue these research efforts, to continue with the cooperation established by CleanHME, and to pursue the exploitation of our project results.”

    1.Experimental and theoretical validation for transmutation of palladium at electrochemical interfaces

    Electrolysis of D2O may be used as a portable neutron source with numerous applications without the complexity of huge reactor operations. Herein, we report reproducible fast neutron generation by electrolysis of D2O using palladium cathode and platinum anode, which was detected with diamond detector, gas filled 3He detectors after thermalisation with high density polythene, as well as novel epoxy resin and CR-39 detectors. Notably, a highly reproducible neutron generation at electrochemical surfaces of palladium electrode was observed and signature transmutation via Pd (d, n) Ag was corroborated. This was further explained using a theoretical model based on second order quantum perturbation theory.

    2.Detections of He-3 in Ni-based binary metal nanocomposites with Cu in zirconia exposed to hydrogen gas at elevated temperatures

    The present study aims to detect helium-3 in nickel-based metal nano-composites doped with zirconia, which exhibited anomalous heat generation when exposed to hydrogen gas at approximately 450°C. Two complementary analytical techniques were employed: nuclear reaction analysis utilizing 1.4 MeV deuteron beams from a tandem accelerator, and thermal desorption spectrometry using a quadrupole mass spectrometer. Both methods successfully detected helium-3 in the samples. Given the extreme rarity of this isotope, its presence strongly suggests the occurrence of nuclear reactions within the nickel-containing materials. These findings lend support to the 4 hydrogen/tetrahedral symmetric condensate (4H/ TSC) model, which uniquely predicts helium-3 as one of the primary reaction products.

    3.Consistency of helium production with the excess power in the palladium-D2O electrochemical system Melvin H. Miles a,*, Peter Hagelstein b

    These 1991–1992 experiments involving NAWCWD and Rockwell International were designed to test for possible relationships between the excess power in cold fusion experiments and helium production. The experiments were Double Blind because results were reported only to an independent third-party at the University of Texas. Our calorimetry measured 0.100 W, 0.050 W and 0.020 W for these three experiments [7,14] while Oliver reported the numbers for He-4 atoms per flask as 1.34 × 1014, 1.05 × 1014, and 0.97 × 1014, respectively [13,14]. It is obvious that these He-4 results are in the correct order, but do they agree with theory? Note also that these Oliver results were accurately extrapolated back to the day when each gas sample was collected. This minimizes any small errors due to the atmospheric He-4 diffusing into each glass collection flask (0.2 ppb per day) [13]. The initial results reported for the cell current (I), the experimental excess Power (PX), and the helium-4 measurements are given in Table 1. [13,14]. There were also periods of radiation detection during these experiments [14].

    Elements Beyond the Stars: A Missing Link in Nucleosynthesis? – YouTube

    For decades, we’ve been told that stars are the ultimate element factories, forging everything from hydrogen to the heavier elements that make up our world. But what if element formation is far more widespread than we think?
