Mechanism of thermal runaway as a cause of Fleischmann-Pons effect
Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry, 2020Co-Authors: N. E. Galushkin, N. N. Yazvinskaya, D. N. GalushkinAbstract:Abstract Starting from papers by Fleischmann and Pons, many investigators have found the excess power effect during a heavy water electrolysis. They connected this effect with the deuterons “cold fusion”. A significantly larger number of investigators did not have found this effect, so they do not agree with the proposed explanation and consider the results of Fleischmann and Pons being a mistake or an instrumental artifact. In this paper experimentally proved that the Fleischmann-Pons effect (of burst type) is caused by an exothermic reaction of a recombination of the atomic deuterium accumulated in electrodes during electrolysis of the electrolyte. This reaction is similar to the reaction of thermal runaway in electrochemical batteries with aqueous electrolyte. Thus experimentally proved that the Fleischmann-Pons effect is not associated with cold fusion of deuterium nuclei. While the Fleischmann-Pons effect (of the weak type) is due to a partial recombination of the deuterium and the oxygen, i.e. in this case the excess power is apparent or imaginary. It is shown that the established mechanism of Fleischmann-Pons effect explains all the currently known experimental facts. The recommendations are given allowing a reproduction of this effect without a failure.

Extracting nucleation rates from current–time transients. Concluding remarks
Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry, 2002Co-Authors: Stephen FletcherAbstract:Abstract Some time ago, Abyaneh and Fleischmann submitted several papers to this journal in which they modelled the heterogeneous nucleation of crystals as a first order kinetic process. In an invited response, I argued that such an approach was seriously flawed, because it ignored nucleation rate dispersion. More recently, instead of responding directly to this criticism, Abyaneh and Fleischmann have challenged the validity of the Deutscher–Fletcher experiments that first established the physical reality of nucleation rate dispersion. This note, therefore, serves two purposes. Firstly, it confirms the validity and high rigour of the original Deutscher–Fletcher experiments. Secondly, it identifies the errors in the Abyaneh–Fleischmann papers. In conclusion, it is emphasised that nucleation rate dispersion is real, universal, and must always be taken into account in experiments involving heterogeneous nucleation.

der kernphysiker rudolf Fleischmann und die medizin an der reichsuniversitat strasburg 1941 1944
Ntm, 2006Co-Authors: Burghard WeissAbstract:Under German occupation in World War II, Alsace-Lorraine was subjected to politically enforced Germanization. One means was science policy.The newly founded research institute of the medical school of the University of Strasbourg for instance was modeled on the Heidelberg Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Medical Research of Ludolf von Krehl, incorporating institutes for internal medicine, physics and chemistry, and housing very modern research facilities.The expansion created tremendous professional opportunities for young German scientists like Rudolf Fleischmann, who worked in Strasbourg until the liberation, when he was taken as prisoner by the allied intelligence mission “Alsos.” Released in 1946, Fleischmann started a second career in Hamburg and Erlangen, where he died in 2002. In one of his last interviews, which he gave to the author of this paper, he called the Strasbourg period a prerequisite for establishing his own scientific reputation.

Use Of A Very Sensitive Seebeck Calorimeter To Study The Pons- Fleischmann And Letts Effects
Condensed Matter Nuclear Science, 2005Co-Authors: Edmund StormsAbstract:Characteristics of a commercial Seebeck calorimeter are described. This very stable instrument is applied to a study of the Pons-Fleischmann effect using a palladium anode and a platinum cathode. The use of a laser to stimulate anomalous heat production (the Letts effect) is also described. Positive results were obtained for both effects and these reveal important aspects of the nuclear-active-environment.

How to produce the Pons-Fleischmann effect
Fusion Technology, 1996Co-Authors: Edmund StormsAbstract:The conditions required for producing excess energy in PdD created in an electrolytic cell are described and reasons for their importance are discussed. Procedures are described that will increase the chance for success in producing an effect whose concept has been difficult to accept. 51 refs., 1 fig.

review of experimental observations about the cold fusion effect
Fusion Technology, 1991Co-Authors: Edmund StormsAbstract:AbstractThe experimental literature describing the cold fusion phenomenon is reviewed. The number and variety of careful experimental measurements of heat, tritium, neutron, and helium production strongly support the occurrence of nuclear reactions in a metal lattice near room temperature as proposed by Pons and Fleischmann and independently by Jones.
