Brillouin to be First in Getting LENR Heat Plant to Production?

Brillouin: "Understanding How LENR Works Will Enable Us to Be First"

One of the biggest surprises for me in this interview was learning that Nickel is not consumed in the reaction. According to Robert, this is not Nickel-Hydrogen fusion reaction. Nickel is merely a catalyst.

Robert said that the nuclear process they are utilizing is the same (though better understood and thus controlled) as is being used by their competitors: Andrea Rossi's E-Cat, Defkalion's Hyperion, Piantelli's Nichenergy, George Miley's LENUCO, and Celani's Cold Fusion Energy Inc., for example.

According to Robert, all these technologies use essentially the same process, though some do it more effectively than others.

Here is how it works.


"A tiny amount of hydrogen protons are converted into neutrons. These newly produced neutrons are soon captured by hydrogen ions or other atoms in a metallic (e.g. nickel) lattice near to where the hydrogen ions were converted to neutrons. The captured neutrons generate heat because the new atoms that are one neutron heavier shed excess binding energy as heat to the lattice, resulting in a dramatically clean, low-cost, hi-quality heat output."

Robert says that "cold fusion" definitely is not an accurate name for it, and neither is LENR. It does not involved conventional nuclear fission or hot nuclear fusion processes. He has renamed the process Controlled Electron Capture Reactions or CECR, or "phonon-moderated hydrogen reactions."

According to their business summary:


"Evidence suggests this reaction involves the synthesis of neutrons, which accumulate on Hydrogen dissolved in a matrix (lattice), which progresses to deuterium, then tritium and onto quadrium that decays to helium. At Brillouin, these reactions are promoted and catalyzed in a highly energized nickel matrix. The process releases thermal energy far in excess of what is possible from chemical reactions. The important feature is that neutrons are generated and accumulate in a comparatively low-energy environment, and this accumulation generates heat."

In other words, with the proper electromagnetic stimulation, hydrogen is stimulated to become helium and heat.

One of the reasons that the miss-labeled "cold fusion" process has been so difficult to comprehend is that it requires a cross-pollinated understanding from several disciplines including mechanics, materials science, electronics, molecular and quantum chemistry, quantum mechanics, and astrophysics. Robert's unique background has given him the academic training and exposure he needed to tie these things together. ...

In the NHB™ wet cell, not only is the water there as a support, but it is also the fuel source. The required hydrogen comes from distilled water.

And we're not talking about a consumption rate of fuel that you might compare to an internal combustion engine. This isn't chemistry we're talking about. It's nuclear -- clean nuclear.

Robert pointed out that 1.024 ml (about the size of a #2 pencil eraser) of water provides as much energy as two 48-gallon drums of gasoline. That is 355,000 times the amount of energy per volume -- five orders of magnitude.

And what's coming out the other end of the reaction? Heat and Helium. No radioactivity. No pollution.


Ease of Manufacturing

While the concept of exactly how this works is very complex, the hardware needed to build these systems will not be difficult or expensive to make or assemble or manage. We're talking scuba tank, electronics from old fashioned TVs, case, pumps. And there is the added advantage of not having to worry about fuel storage and conveyance.

The BEC boilers will be slightly larger than the ones they will be replacing of comparable output.


Longevity

Robert expects that a BEC system will last 3-5 years without needing any servicing, including refill or replacement of the nickel lattice....

These folks discount Rossi and Defkalion due to their recurring engineering issues, due to not completely understanding the LENR reaction accurately.

By 2020 anyone will be able to buy such a reactor and put it in their homes in the USA and Europe and Japan too.

So take a Briilouin machine and have it power itself and we have a COP of infinite.

And their process wont consume the nickel, it takes the energy from water hydrogen, and we have plenty of ocean water to use for that.

Soon, Doomsday Ecowackos wont have a singlething to whine about, and that will be the icing on the damned cake!

A broken BS detector is the root cause of both falling for denialism, and falling for obvious cold fusion scams.

So what about the LENR theories are disproven, jack ass?

None of them, lol.

Even MIT is running a LENR program and the DOE is financing LENR research.

So go fuck yourself, whiney little bitch.
