Are excess heat and isotope changes in e-cat LENR reactor real? Part 2
Part 2 of the analysis of the e-cat Lugano report, looking deeper into the issue of the isotope changes in nickel and lithium, reaction kinetics and the implications for Industrial Heats´ patent situation.
Are excess heat and isotope changes in e-cat LENR reactor real? Part 1
A group of Swedish and Italian scientists published technical papers that seem to confirm excess heat in a low energy nuclear reaction (LENR) device called e-cat. The scientists found in the ash of the spent fuel dramatic isotope changes in nickel (Ni) and lithium (Li) without any harmful radiation. If this finding would be correct - LENR as transmutation of elements without radiation - it would turn our present knowledge of nuclear physics on its head- a scientific sensation.
Nobel Prizes 2013 for natural sciences awarded
The 2013 Nobel Prizes in natural sciences have been awarded by The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. In physics, the Nobel Prize was awarded for the theoretical model which gives mass to all particles. In chemistry, the Nobel Prize was awarded for pioneering work in computational chemistry. In medicine, the Nobel Prize was awarded for discoveries of machinery regulating vesicle traffic, a major transport system in cells.
