Abstract

Some hydrogen atoms were being charged into metal palladium lattice and reached a certain ratio in a H-Pd gas-loading system under the pressure of PH2<1atm. The relationship between loading ratio, pressure and excess heat were studied at different reaction conditions. In one of the experiments the palladium wire was broken with a huge excess heat. The calculation results showed that about 2.2×104 Joules excess energy were released in that abnormal process, which was corresponding to 2.5×102eV for each palladium atom. Analysis on the surface of the melted broken section of palladium wire sample before and after the abnormal process with a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and an energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) revealed that new surface topographical features with concentrations of unexpected elements (Ag and Ca) were detected, which implied that the excess heat might come from a nuclear transmutation reaction
