| Fleischmann and Pons discovered that overvoltage electrolysis depositing D+ ions onto Pd metal sometimes produced excess heat (F-P effect). Arata and Zhang discovered that deuterium delivered to nanoPd powder produced more consistent excess heat (A-Z effect). McKubre discovered that deuterium fluxing into and out of Pd metal was a requirement for F-P excess heat to become observable (McKubre effect). Iwamura discovered that deuterium flow through Pd metal containing CaO-Pd interfaces produced non-chemical heat (Iwamura effect), A-Z demonstration of an autonomous heater. The above discoveries are examples of catalyzed deuterium fusion technologies by which sustainable energy production can be achieved. The common feature is a requirement for the presence of an atom or ion in a many-centers, i.e., quasiparticle, i.e., Bloch function form. The challenge is to convince others that many-centers nuclear physics is reality. |
