Electrolytic Tritium Production

Low Energy Nuclear Reactions: The Emergence of Condensed Matter Nuclear Science

“…Other researchers have detected helium-4 and helium-3 (5)(6)(7)18) and tritium in other experiments (24)(25)(26).…”

“…None of these effects can be the result of Joule heating, because the energy inputs are too low (1,4,27). Other changes to the cathodes include unusual morphological deformations (25), craters (10,28), and "hot spots" (29).…”

Comments on “A new look at low-energy nuclear reaction research”

“…At an even more subtle level is the consideration of the rate of hydrogen release from the Pd electrode, which would impact the amount of time heat would be produced by recombination. It is well known that surface contaminants affect the ability of Pd to absorb and desorb hydrogen 9,10 , and after being immersed in an electrolyte solution for hundreds of hours, it is unlikely the Pd surface is pristine, and in fact there are many studies showing it is not (see below). Furthermore, crack-free Pd is supposedly required to allow high loading to be attained, and high loading is supposedly required to obtain the FPHE.…”

Possible theories of cold fusion

“…[21,[23][24][25]) levels of 3 T and even lower levels of neutron fluxes , has now been extensively documented. The fact that the 3 T/n ratio is very high coupled to the absence of high-energy γ-radiation and of secondary neutrons [34][35][36]48] shows clearly that the scenario is not that of the conventional fusion processes of highly energetic deuterons [51]…”
