G. Agelao et al., Heat and helium production during exothermic reactions between gases through palladium geometrical elements loaded with hydrogen, FUSION TECH, 38(2), 2000, pp. 224-237
In this research, the effect of the shape of hydrogen-loaded palladium elem
ents on exothermic reactions between gases is shown. It was found that an e
lement with parts of its surface next to each other spontaneously triggers
reactions, whereas an element whose surfaces are riot next to each other ne
eds outside triggering. The heat developed makes the temperature of the ele
ments rise evert by a few hundredths of a degree centigrade.
Through photographic techniques, it was shown that the elements, when relea
sing heat, emit radiation connected to nuclear fusion reactions. These reac
tions, confirmed also by the analysis of the used hydrogen, showed helium f
ormation. All these tests have confirmed the reproducibility of the phenome
non.
