Excess Heat Production in a Deuterium/Palladium Gas-solid System

摘要

In a D-Pd gas-loading system some deuterium atoms were introduced into a palladium wire under the pressure of PD2<1atm and 8A electric current was passed through another palladium wire.The relationship between electric current and excess heat triggered by the current was studied at different conditions of reaction.Evidence of large excess heat was found in the system and details of the calorimetric measurements were reported in this paper.The system produced excess energy of about 11 MJ within 11 hours,which was corresponding to 2.5℃103eV for each palladium atom witch more than that in any chemical process.The results of SEM and EDS did not show any remarkable evidence of nuclear reaction in this exothermic process.
