Entering the Hot Case of Cold Nuclear Fusion

Abstract

It is shown in the paper that significant energy release for short time can be achieved in replicable experiments involving interaction of deuterium gas with constantan specimen. The experiments were carried out in a gas chamber where the injected deuterium gas having room temperature interacted with constantan wire heated by externally applied voltage: i) Many replicable experiments were performed at initial temperatures of the constantan wires in range 666C – 681C. The temperatures of the constantan wires began increase at ~8 seconds after the beginning of injection of the deuterium gas and additional increases with 358C – 382C for different experiments were reached at ~30 seconds. The released excess power was in range 183W – 209W and the density of the released excess power was in range ~114W/g – 130W/g. Helium release was observed. ii) Replicable experiments were performed at initial temperature 950C of the constantan wires. In all experiments, explosive evaporations of the wires occurred. The released excess power was greater than 3400W and the density of this power was at least 2280 W/g. The following conclusion can be done - the observed released power was of nuclear origin and it was not of either electrical or chemical origin.
