| Swimming electron layer (SEL) theory of heavy “complex nuclei” was proposed earlier to explain the nuclear reaction products observed in electrolytic cell experiments that used multi-layer thin films of metals on mm-size plastic beads. More recently a modified condensed matter deuterium cluster model has been developed to further explain this combined with related electrolytic cell experiments. As found in the original experiments and later thin film electrode studies, excess heat is also obtained from low energy nuclear reactions (LENRs) using these electrodes, and the condensed cluster theory also predicts that. As a result of this added understanding of cluster formation and reactions, a new class of electrodes has been designed to enhance cluster formation. These electrodes utilize a nano-manufacturing technique that mimics normal dislocation loop structures but with a high density per unit volume. The basis for this electrode concept was originated in earlier studies of low temperature superconductive states formed in dislocation loops and created by cyclic loading-deloading of H/D thin-film palladium electrodes. Further details about these new electrodes along with preliminary test results will be provided. Design concepts for use of these electrodes for hydrogen storage and also for LENR power units will be presented |
