LENR - Cold Fusion In The Pot?

Transcript

I was asked to translate this video, so here it is. Hi there, I am Andi from behind the camera. We have news.

Today we try some cold fusion in the pot. Here is a quick overview. This is all you need. 200ml of water 20g of sodium hydroxide a stainless steel mug or pot a tungsten welding electrode a thermometer and a DC power source of at least 40-50V.

Here I took 200ml of destilled water. But ordinary tap water also does it. We add 10% of NaOH to the water

to make the current flow. It looks like this. You get it from the wholesale store. For 200ml water we need 20g of NaOH, this is 10%.

Stir well. Looks like this. A fine soap sud. Now we need a stainless steel mug or pot.

I found this mug for 3eur. Its double walls keep the temperature. A stainless steel thermos bottle would be perfect but that would be to narrow for the camera.

Heat up the solution to 60°C / 140°F. Put the mug onto a fireproof plate. Now we need a tungsten

welding electrode. It withstands great heat. You get it from the hardware store for a few bucks.

Large anode: mug walls. Tiny cathode: tungsten tip = enormous heat This is my power source. Batteries are best, the reaction starts from 40V. 40V would be 4 batteries.

But I had these pack and I was curious :-) Don't do that. Voltage above 50V can kill. This is a simple serial connection.

Connect (+) to (-), so that the voltages add up. Red wire (+) to the mug Black wire (-) to the electrode I fastened the electrode with a chop stick.

I drilled a hole into the chop stick. 2 pegs hold everything in place. The electrode just slightly touches the water a bit. Black (-) to the electrode.

Red (+) to the mug. Be careful, the lye will splatter. (loud popping noise) Watch the temperature. This is the entire setup I used.

Please follow the safety advices and don't exceed 50V DC. This is safer. And now Peter will explain more. He likes it simple and cheap and explains a bit more. - This is the electrolyte from the DryCell?

- Yes, this is 400ml. Now this is a measuring jug. It's got a 5ml graduation. I heat the electrolyte up in the pan.

You see, there is still some dirt inside. That's a thermos bottle for just 6eur. There is a vacuum in between

the double walls. Best insulation. I use such a bottle for my experiments here. The outside is the anode (+).

I wrapped a copper wire around the neck. - You drilled a hole into it? - No, just wrapped it around with a pair of pliers. - You heat up the electrolyte to...?

- To about 60°C / 140°F. It also works when it's cold. But that would take hours because I just have 1.6Wh input. And I want to find the

best efficiency range. The warmer the water, the more efficient. I heat up to a bit more than 60°C, because it will cool down anyway.

It's just like the DryCell. You can't measure the efficiency when it is cold. So we bring it up to operating temperature.

61°C - that's enough. I just have to get the scales. We measure its weight before we start experimenting. You see, it is not

very exact. 582g including the container. We have to write down these 2 figures.

138g when empty. 582...? No, 583g... And 138g when empty. I cut a rubber closure that fits tightly.

This is a velcro with a hole in the middle. It has to match the hole in the rubber. We measure the heat

before we start. 58°C This is our cathode. A tungsten welding electrode. Ordinary metal would instantly burn up.

We connect the (+) here. - How much electrolyte did you use? - 10% NaOH My anode (+) is black. That's not correct, but it's all I have. There is a multimeter

looped in. It measures the Milliampere. This is the power meter from the grid. You see the marker? This is a toroidal transformer

with 2x 25V secondary output. I paired them together. We get 2x 25V = 50V. Between the red and orange wire I get about 52V AC output.

They are rectified with this bridge rectifier then smoothened with a capacitor. That's all. The caps have about 940uF

and 1000uF, that's 1940uF. And 4 diodes here. - A Graetz circuit? - Yes. This is just improvised.

Oh, it already shows a value even in idle. No cables attached! There is no power connection! No connection with the power grid! - This is the cathode? - Anode? - Yes. Here the anode is black,

the cathode is brown. The toroidal transformer is powered from this cable. When I plug this into the mains, we have power.

- We have 10mAh although there is no connection. Now we plug it in! I push the welding electrode down a bit. (Audible popping noise) You hear this? I start the timer.

I want to see how long we do this. I pull the electrode a bit up again. (Popping sound fades) - What happens inside?

- I will show you later. 0.019A, 0.02A Let's calculate this: 80 V x 0.02 A = 1.6 W The water cooled down, so the value goes up a bit. 58°C, I wanted to

write that down. Now we have 0.03A. 0.03 A x 80 V = 2.4 W - Now this is one of these typical Youtube videos where you see a mess of cables and nobody can figure out from the video

what's really going on. - Actually I just did this for myself, not for anyone else. Now while we wait, we do the same with batteries.

Here we have 72V only. That must do it. 6x 12V each. The small batteries have 1.2Ah only.

The larger ones have 7.2Ah. - This is a normal stainless steel jar? - Yes. - This is water with 10% electrolyte? - Yes, I did some experiments

with this before. - There is dirt in it! - No, it's shungit powder. And yes, we have electrolyte in there.

But it is cold. We should... - How do you know that? - It it soapy. I just heat it up for you.

After 7 minutes we still have 0.026Ah. The warmer it gets, the less power it draws. You see, it goes

down to 0.019 - It wobbles. - Yes, because there is plasma inside. This is what I want to show you in the open pan. - And it still runs and runs.

I should do the wiring correctly, sometime. Now this is my anode and my cathode. - Oh, cool. - You see this? See what happens? It's the same thing that happens

inside the thermos bottle. But these are batteries! They have almost no amperes! - What's the temperature of the soup? - 42.6°C, 40°C (104 °F) It cools down quickly. Of course, this pot has

such a large opening! - This is no heat, even for a cold plasma! - Yes, that's next to nothing. - You see the smoke in the middle. - What's that? It is gas and vapor. - HHO?

- Yes, also. You see that the vapor comes from the center. We have vaporization at 40°C.

Now I tell you something. Wiki says about evaporation enthalpy that it is 2260 Joule per gram at 100°C. At 40°C it is

2400 J/g still. It needs more energy to evaporate water at low temperatures. Remember those values, we will do some calculations then.

You see, it drops down to 0.015Ah again. It runs for almost 13 minutes already. - Virtually no ampere draw.

I can feel the heat! - Yeah, you will definitely feel the temperature in the end. - .014, .013? Which value shall we take? Sometimes it even falls down to .012, 2 I think we'll read it as .02,

do you agree? This might be a good average. That means we draw 1.6 Watt. I feel the thread is

getting warm. So there is thermal loss, even at just 50°C. Pretty much thermal los, if I can even feel it.

We can't measure this energy, it is simply lost. - The gas that builds up, where does that go? - Into the air. But these are so small amounts,

we would need weeks of operation to see a result. Now this is the electrolyte. - What is it exactly? - This is from another experiment. - NaOH, perhaps KOH.

This time we didn't preheat it. Now it is not dark so you will see more. (Loud hissing sound) - Oh! Now I can see it. You couldn't see anything from the black powder.

See, I just slightly touch the surface. Now I understand why you use the tungsten electrode. The vapors irritate

the throat. Pure natrium (coughes) It is most efficient when I just touch it. Water has a

surface tension. When I touch it, it bends up around the electrode. You can't see it here. This is what happens when I touch

the surface, the membrane. This effect is stronger when I get closer to the rim. The secret is very simple, and nobody did this before: We have a large anode surface,

and a tiny cathode surface. If you measure it, it is about 1mm2 compared to several hundreds of cm2! It is at least 1:500 even at a low water level.

This disproportion causes an extremely high electron density. This is why the tungsten immediately starts to glow. Let's see, it is down to

0.014 for some time now. 0.012, 0.011 Now 30 minutes have elapsed, I shut it off. Switch-off in 15 seconds. And off.

It ran for 30 minutes. I remove the cathode. Disconnect the wires. Now let's see how much heat we produced.

This takes some time. In the beginning we had 58°C. I have to shake it. Ah, it is 60°C. 60°C.

60.1°C. Let's read it as 60°C. - As you said, this might be the operating temperature. - It is already steaming.

Here comes the calculation. As I said in the beginning: We don't know yet how much water condensed. The water is still hot. Hot water has a larger

volume than cold water. But you see, now it is definitely below the line. First it was a bit above 400ml, now it is below the 395ml line.

We have to wait until it is at 17°C again. Usually 5ml in cold state were about 7ml in hot state. So let's assume 7ml.

I cover it, so no water can get lost. You know how I can measure the weight precisely? With my gold scales. It just works on even ground.

It has 3 digits precision behind the decimal point. I can weigh out exactly every 1/10th gram of water. Then I fill up

exactly to the line and measure the weight. Ok, now let's calculate. We had 80 volts DC. This is just an assumption. It could have been 76V

or any other similar value. We just assume conservatively 80V. 80 V x 0,02 A = 1,6 W 30 minutes = 1800 seconds We used 1.6 Watts during these 1800 seconds.

1.6 W x 1800 = 2880 Joule This is the energy we used. Our input was 2880 Joule. Now for the output. We started with 58°C

and ended with 60°C. The water was heated up for 2°C. 400 ml x 4,2 Joules We need 4.2 J to heat up 1g of water for 1°C.

400 ml x 4.2 J x 2°C = 3360 J This is just the water temperature! - Without light emission, sound, heat, line loss,... - What do you mean? Which light? - Well, there is light emission.

We have to add this to the equation. Oh, there is much more... 3360 J is even better than any immersion heater.

An immersion heater would just have 2400 J output. But it is 85-90% efficient perhaps. We exceeded this values.

But we didn't take into account the water vapor. You saw, there are at least 5ml missing. When it cooled down,

it is at least 7ml. At 60°C this needs about 2400 J per gram of water vapor. Let's just say 2260 J, this is the value for 100°C.

We take the conservative value. 7 x 2260 J = 15820 J from the water vapor. We have to add this. (Camera operator)

This is too much output. 15820 J + 3360 J = 19180 J output (Camera operator) That is 10x more output. How to calculate the efficiency? Divide output by input.

19180 / 2880 = 6.65 COP (Coefficient Of Performance) COP 6.65 But there is even more. Let's assume we didn't have 7g of water vapor but 6g instead, and 1g of gas.

1g sounds too little to me, but let's just assume this. We want to calculate conservatively. If we made 1g of gas,

how much is this? 1l of water makes 1860 liters of gas. So 1g of water becomes 1.86l of gas. Thus we must have made

1.86l of gas. 1l of gas stores 8000 J of energy 8000 J x 1.86 = 14880 J Now this would add 14880 J to our equation. This would make:

14880 + 15820 = 30700 Minus 1g of vapor. 30700 - 2260 = 28440 J I still did not add this: 28440 + 3360 = 31800 J 31800 / 2880 = COP 11 (values corrected) - 11x more output than input? (values corrected) Nobody knows this. They don't want us to know this.

That's how it is. I can show you a circuit diagram. No big deal. - You bought all of this?

- Yes, I bought all parts. In the beginning we started with 583g (correction: 582g) Now we have 581g. Let's do this again... 581g You can already see

the difference, even though it is still warm. We are below the line. 7g of water must have dissolved, at least. But it lost just 1g of weight.

(Correction: 1g) How? Did we make heavy water, or...? (laughs) Another unanswered question. According to radiation: 0.1... 0.2... It shows some

values! Perhaps some microwave radiation remained in the wires? But 0.12mW/cm2 is harmless. - Where does the radiation come from? We did not even have

resonancy in the pot! - Of course this is possible. If you make plasma, you get a lot of frequencies. Up to 1GHz.

Now this is interesting. - Do you know the spectrum of the meter? I don't think it is very precise either. - With my hand,

nothing happens. - Oh, there is something. - But this is impossible! - Let me try! Now where does the radiation come from? - Perhaps your camera? - Wait, I step away.

- No, it even reacts to my hand. I don't think we are the radiation source. Are we perhaps

contaminated? Resonating? With HAARP? LOIS? - You know how they measure the microwave radiation from mobile phones? They keep 1m distance to the phone with the meter! Because in 1m distance it shouldn't exceed 5mW.

But we use it directly at our head. I get close to the mobile. This is way above 5mW/cm2 at my ear.

You see this? They say above 5mW it gets dangerous.
