Introduction to LENR
- The concept of clean nuclear energy.
If we want to generate nuclear energy we are faced with challenges, with traditional nuclear fission posing risks, and nuclear fusion proving difficult to achieve. In contrast, the concept of clean nuclear energy offers a promising alternative, though understanding it has proven challenging. The original announcement of its discovery by two respected electrochemists from Utah in March 1989, met with obstacles due to scientific rivalry, a lack of clear and easily replicable evidence, and results at odds with the ruling thought model of nuclear physics.- What are hydrogenated compound metal lattices?
After thirty years of research, clean nuclear energy has been proven real, resulting from a fascinating phenomenon found in combination with what are called 'hydrogenated compound metal lattices'. These structures, composed of metal alloys with hydrogen absorbed in them - or in between of them -, produce heat and/or electricity under controlled conditions. However, this experimentally observed effect necessitates a reconsideration of our understanding of space, time, and gravity.
- LENR: A paradigm shift.
This new approach clearly marks a paradigm shift, challenging the prevailing scientific model. With what one calls Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR), we seem to be tapping into the energy of the accelerating expansion of the universe. Chemical processes nor any known nuclear process of fusion or fission can explain the excess energy generated thus. We may speculate about alternative nuclear paths to explain the clean nature of this energy, but we are not aware of any other form of readily available energy than the energy of truly energetic empty space itself, that could enable this catalytic conversion, this so-called generative principle of nature. It concerns a principle of energy conversion by which the hydrogen or the metal itself is not to any considerable degree used as a fuel; all that is required is to meet the demands for this new form of energy conversion. Seeing this enigmatic third form of nuclear energy generation in operation led in the European Union to the concept of hydrogen metal energy (HME), energy emerging when hydrogen at the nuclear level reacts in combination with metals.
- The rise of a new science.
This type of anomalies, these results deviating from the norm, since the 20ties of the 20th century more often noticed in nuclear research, gave rise to what is now called Condensed Matter Nuclear Science (CMNS). Global experiments, from wet electrochemical trials to dry gas-phase experiments with hydrogen, yielded perplexing results - extra heat, nuclear transmutations, and shifts in isotopes. These nuclear fusion phenomena, which do not match in quantity but do correlate with the generated energy, offered not only an appearance of fusion. This manifestation of what may be called quasifusion, also raised questions about the energy generated in the metabolism of living beings and the energy produced by the sun. It prompts us to revise our thoughts about nuclear processes. Together they lead to considerations about how we should position those nuclear processes in the standard model of nuclear physics
- The energy source and mechanism.
The realization that we can experimentally generate more energy from hydrogen processes than we put in, challenges the traditional view we have of heat phenomena, the so-called laws of thermodynamics. The solution to the problem of explaining the energy gain is ultimately not found in nuclear fusion but in the concept of quasi-particles. Subatomic particles, like electrons and ions, moving within plasmas and/or between hydrogenated lattices form vibrating structures or quasi-particles that appear to be harnessing the energy of the quantum field of space driven by universal expansion. There exists something like space-energy -also called vacuum energy - or time energy. Space and time are narrowly associated concepts. The vibrating pseudo particles lead next to heat and electricity - both is possible - ultimately to observable but only minimal harmless nuclear side effects due to the capture of electrons and neutrons by atomic nuclei.
- Upcoming applications.
This knowledge is not only theoretical but also practically applicable. Clean nuclear energy technologies have come into view because, in the last thirty years, the obstacles of scaling up the processes and achieving reproducibility have been largely overcome. The commercial availability of applications, expected between 2024 and 2034, promises to solve the challenges of global energy issues and the ecological problems associated, spanning from the transportation and aviation sector to the realm of industry and private homes.
