Welcome

The Martin Fleischmann Memorial Project is a group dedicated to researching Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (often referred to as LENR) while sharing all procedures, data, and results openly online. We rely on comments from online contributors to aid us in developing our experiments and contemplating the results. We invite everyone to participate in our discussions, which take place in the comments of our experiment posts. These links can be seen along the right-hand side of this page. Please browse around and give us your feedback. We look forward to seeing you around Quantum Heat.

Join us and become part of the project. Become one of the active commenters, who question our work and suggest next steps.

Or, if you are an experimenter, talk to us about becoming an affiliated lab and doing your work in a Live Open Science manner.

For the last few weeks we have been busy in Minnesota gathering information and parts for the new 'Sparky' cell design. A High Voltage Tesla technology based sparker, that was designed, built and donated by Dr. Stoyan Sarg will be used to stimulate the powder.

So far we played with wires, made an HV suppression circuit and set up the HUGnet lab boards to play nice with our new HV toy.

With immense help from our returning volunteer "Skip", who worked over long days and nights, we received and made all the necessary components. Now we have started to assemble the new cell.

Daily progress has been documented into Evernote as we really like the instant result when working with it. We have also worked on the website, where we can now introduce you to the project, piece by piece, and let you comment on it. Any suggestions how to make it more readable and undertandable are welcomed.

Enjoy and hope ho hear your thoughts soon.

 
 

UPDATE #1 - Cool videos

Assembling the Sparky cell

UPDATE #2 - Sparky is preparing for a jolt

The Sparky cell with the Ahern powder in has been loading with Hydrogen since the 17th of December and the H2 Pressure is now dropping by 2 or so psi per day which is not very exciting.

Currently it is at a nice stable 330ºC with 8W of input power, so we think it is about time to try to a few sparks.

We'll be trying out a few different temperatures/spark energies over the next few days to see what happens. Ryan will do it manually at first and then later on automatic script.

After that, as planned, we'll add some LiAlH4 assuming we can work out how to do this. The sparks should reach the required temperature to break down the LiAlH4.

-------

Ryan did a few sparks manually and it settled pretty quickly - need to wait till monday to allow some automation.

Hiya! Quick question that's entirely off topic.
Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My website looks weird when viewing from my iphone
4. I'm trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to resolve this issue.
If you have any recommendations , please share.
Thanks!

I am extremely impressed with your writing skills and also with
the layout on your blog. Is this a paid theme or did you modify
it yourself? Anyway keep up the nice quality writing,
it is rare to see a nice blog like this one nowadays.

Thiis type of communication outside your retail structure is crucial in constructing a continuoous relationship along
with yourr clients. Youu might give them a coupon and invite
thjem back at the end of thneir meal or get thei email or home address to send them future coupons.
There are various companies online that are provikding severazl services lijke target keywords, followers and likes.

RTD1 showed a very slight, but weird temperature raise after 22:30 UTC, which incidentally is where the time period of the screenshot in your latest update ends:

However, since the other cell appears to have been affected in a similar way, it's likely an artifact of something.

Hi Ecco,

Pretty much everything, thermal, physical, light (EUV and soft X-rays + Visible), RF, Magnetic, Electro-static, pressure, etc

@MFMP: would you agree that high voltage spark discharges onto the loaded active powder inside the Sparky cell would qualify as very localized thermal shocks? I'm still thinking of those papers I linked in the Celani cells update blog...!

A parallel of low inductance, HV capacitors may be used with a spark gap for very high power pulses

I've never worked with a Tesla coil before so I'm probably wrong, but as I see it, the spark is developed at the spark plug included into Sarg's machine. The electrode, the nickel and the cell are in the return path. So it's the energy that is passed through the effective "short" of the nickel wherein we hope for energetic results. I defer to those more knowledgeable

@All

Check out all the updates in the evernote - need to build an embed for this page.

@ MFMP

Nice job on the electrode. Did you bake out the organic binder in the ceramic felt? Or are you thinking the stem of the cell won't get hot enough to cause a bake out during a live run?
