The Spacetime Metric

In one minute

Tanzella, Bao and McKubre build on reports that thin palladium deuteride structures give anomalous heat and nuclear products when stimulated by electro-diffusion. They built a calorimeter working at 77 K that detects less than 0.1 J with an accuracy better than 0.06 J. High-voltage electrolysis of very pure heavy water loads thin palladium wires heavily with deuterium, and high current pulses then make the wires explode into microscopic particles. Output energies reached 150% of input, and every disintegration seen so far produced excess energy. The next step is to collect the headspace gas during these pulses and measure helium isotopes by mass spectroscopy.
