EXPERIMENTAL CONFIRMATION OF THE NOVEL``INTERMEDIATE CONTROLLED NUCLEAR FUSION" WITHOUT HARMFUL RADIATIONS

Institute for Basic Research, P. O. Box 1577, Palm Harbor, FL 34682, U.S.A.
ibr@verizon.net


Abstrrct
In this paper, we present, apparently for the first time, experimental confirmation of the {\it Intermediate Controlled Nuclear Fusion} without harmful radiations proposed by the author in preceding works. The fusions are centered in the synthesis of nitrogen from deuterium and carbon that, at low energies, cannot possibly release neutron or other harmful radiations. The fusions then include other syntheses. The controlled fusions here reported have been achieved via a {\it hadronic reactor} built and operated according to the laws of hadronic mechanics and chemistry; the absence of harmful radiations has been established via a number of neutron and other counters; the resulting fusions rare truly controlled thanks to the control of pressure, power, flow, temperature, trigger, and other engineering means, but cannot be explosive for various reasons. The reported measurements also provide experimental confirmation of the new chemical species of {\it magnecules.

EXPERIMENTAL VERIFICATIONS OF ISOREDSHIFT WITH POSSIBLE ABSENCE OF UNIVERSE EXPANSION , BIG BANG, DARK MATTER, AND DARK ENERGY
R. M. Santilli

The Open Astronomy Journal Vol. 3, pages 126-144, 2010

Abstract
In this paper, we present systematic studies on the insufficiencies of special relativity within physical media, such as water, atmospheres and the interior of astrophysical bodies. We outline the rather large body of research on the deformations of special relativity applicable within physical media, known under the name of {\it isotopies.} We then present, apparently for the first time, experimental verifications of the hypothesis formulated by the author in 1991, and today known as {\it isoredshift,} according to which light propagating within a physical medium experiences a shift of its frequency toward the red without any relative motion between the source, the medium and the observer, the shift originating from expected loss of energy to the medium due to interactions. We then confirm the isoredshift in the colors of our atmosphere as well as in the large difference in cosmological redshift between certain quasars and their associated galaxies; we indicate the consequential conceivable absence of universe expansion, big bang, dark matter, and dark energy; and propose {\it systematic tests for the resolution of cosmological models via experiments on Earth along the teaching of Galileo Galilei.

NEW SCIENCES FOR THE THIRD MILLENNIUM
Ruggero Maria Santilli
ibr@gte.net

ABSTRACT

We suggest that Russian science should strengthen its beautiful historical heritage of independence from the science in the rest of the world. The suggestion is based on the ongoing crisis in western quantitative sciences (mathematics, physics and chemistry) caused by the applications of 20-th century theories to conditions dramatically different than those of their original conception and experimental verification often resulting in theologies beyond plausibility, and the inherent inability to resolve our increasingly cataclysmic environmental problems. Among a variety of cases [1], we outline the following three: I) The inability of Einsteinian n doctrines to represent classical neutral matter, the construction of the novel isodual mathematics for a representation of antimatter at all level of study, and the test of the expected antigravity experienced by positrons in horizontal flight in a vacuum tub; II) The inability of Einsteinian doctrines and quantum mechanics to represent the synthesis of neutrons from protons and electrons as occurring in stars, the covering hadronic mechanics and underlying new isomathematics that have provided a a numerically exact and time invariant representation of "all" characteristics of neutrons in said synthesis, and the experiments for the laboratory synthesis and stimulated decay of the neutron; III) The origination of conjectures on the universe expansion, dark matter and dark energy from the assumption of the constancy of the speed of light anywhere in the universe, thus including in the interior of dense physical media as well as within the extreme conditions in the interior of black holes, the elimination of said conjectures following the admission of the locally varying character of the speed of light within physical media, and the ongoing experiment on the "isoredshift", that is redshift of light propagating within physical media without any relative motion. The presentation ends with the indication of basically new clean energies and fuels permitted by the new sciences of the third millennium if seeded within a scientifically fertile environment.

MAIN EXPERIMENTAL REFERENCES OF PROF. SANTILLI TALK IN MOSCOW, MAY 4-5, 2009
Released by the Institute for Basic Research, April 25, 2009

TEST I:
MEASURE OF THE GRAVITY OF POSITRONS IN HORIZONTAL FLIGHT
This is a complex experiment requiring a 0.5 m OD x 10 m long super cooled vacuum tube currently under preparation for conduction in the second part of 2010. The best reference is Prof. Santilli's Springer 2001 monograph available in free pdf kdowmnload Isodual Theory of Antimatter As one can see, experimentalists have stated this test to be "resolutory" because the displacement due to gravity on a scintilloscope at the end of a 10 m horizontal flight for milli-eV positrons is "visible by the naked eye."

TEST II:
LABORATORY SYNTHESIS AND STIMULATED DECAYS OF THE NEUTRON
A readable summary of Prof. Santilli's 30 years long mathematical, theoretical, experimental and now industrial research in the synthesis of neutrons from a hydrogen gas and its stimulated decay, including new energies and the recycling of nuclear waste, is that by Prof. Jerdsay Kadeisvili available as free pdf download at The Rutherford-Santilli neutron - pdf or in htlm format at The Rutherford-Santilli neutron - html

TEST III:
CONTROLLED NITROGEN SYNTHESIS
"Cold fusion" have insufficient energies even to expose nuclei as a pre-requisite for bonding. ³Hot fusion" notoriously have excessive energies beyond any dream of control. Because of these known limitations, Prof. Santilli has proposed the novel "Intermediate Controlled Nuclei Fusion" that is conducted at threshold energies with an array of truly controlling means (power, amps, pressure, temperature, trigger and others). Rather than seeking the very difficult controlled fusion of the helium, Prof. Santilli has achieved the comparatively much easier fusion of nitrogen from carbon and deuteron. The "little secret" is that Prof. Santilli has achieved the nitrogen synthesis from carbon and "hydrogen" via his knowledge on the synthesis of the neutron from a hydrogen gas. An introductory presentation is that by Prof. Richard Anderson available in free pdf download in the English version from Outline of Santilli's Intermediate Controlled Nuclear Fusion - English , see also Russian Word as well as Russian translation pdf -- Italian Translation -- Turkish translation pdf. -- Prof. Santilli's latest "progress report" solely disclosing what he was authorized by the investors can be downloaded from Progress Report on Intermediate Controlled Nuclear Fusions . -- It is widely known that anomalous nitrogen has been detected for years in magnegas fuel produced by hadronic reactors processing oil via a submerged arc between carbon electrodes as developed by the U. S. public company MagneGas Corporation, although such nitrogen could originate from the original exposure of the liquid feedstock to air. However, said hadronic reactors are routinely sold under contractual obligation to produce an energy output "five times" the used electric emery. Such an energy output could be explained as solely due to conventional esoenergetic chemical reactions associates to Prof. Santilli new carbon combustion with his PlasmaArcFlow process (patented and International Patents Pending), such as the synthesis of CO, H2, etc. Yet, no such quantitative explanation has been published to date except for manifestly biased ascientific and asocial posturing. Hence, in the above quoted 2008 progress report, Prof. Santilli leaves open the issue as to whether said large energy output is entirely of conventional chemical origin or contains a contribution from his Intermediate Controlled Nuclear Synthesis of the nitrogen.

TEST IV:
ISOREDSHIFT
This test is to stop with measurements the incredible political hyperbolas proliferating in cosmology for the premeditated intent of maintain the validity of Einsteinian doctrines under the most extreme conditions existing in the universe, despite immense deviations from the conditions of applicability clearly identified by Albert Einstein. In the 2007 paper Isocosmology Prof. Santilli has shown that the universe expansion, dark matter and dark energy are due to the theology of the universal constancy of the speed of light within physical media, as well as in the extreme conditions in the interior of hyperdense bodies such as black holes. The test is conducted in a 5 cm OD x 10 m long high pressure tube with transparent (lexan) ends filled up with various gases at various pressures. A blue monochromatic light from a 100 mW laser is sent through the tube. The test intends to measure the prediction by hadronic mechanics (certainly not quantum mechanics since the latter solely holds in vacuum) that light loses energy E = hv when propagating though a medium, thus yielding a redshift v' < v without any relative motion (Santilli isoredshift) that, if confirmed, will eliminate universe expansion, dark matter and dark energy, plus having certain industrial pay. Note that the isoredshift has already been detected, e.g., in long optic fibers, or in radio communication of space missions when passing in the back of planetary atmospheres, and other cases.

TEST V:
INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION OF MAGNEHYDROGEN
This is a technology under industrial development to to produce a species of hydrogen that is heavier than H_2, known as MagneHydrogen with chemical symbol MG. The relevance is that the achievement of three times the specific weight of hydrogen would render MagneHydrogen energy equivalent to natural gas, thus eliminating the need for liquefaction and having numerous other advantages. Prof. Santilli produced in 2000 a species of MH with 99.8% H yet some ³seven times² the specific weight of H2 thanks to his new technology of achieving stable clustering under magnetic and other polarizations. Prof. Santilli's original paper with signed laboratory reports is available from the web site The new chemical species of MagneHydrogen and MagneOxygen

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we propose apparently for the first time a new type of controlled nuclear fusion called "intermediate" because occurring at energies intermediate between those of the ''cold'' and ''hot'' fusions to attempt the resolution of their known insufficiencies. The paper then presents a progress report on the industrial realizations going on to enhance the net energy output that, currently, is already of the order of five times the used electric energy at relatively low operating power, pressure and temperature, as verifiable in the IBR laboratory in Florida. For this purpose: 1) We show that known limitations of quantum mechanics, quantum chemistry and special relativity, such as their reversibility in time compared to the irreversibility of all energy releasing processes, cause excessive insufficiencies for all controlled nuclear fusions; 2) We outline the structurally irreversible coverings of quantum mechanics, quantum chemistry and special relativity, collectively known as specifically conceived and verified during the past three decades for all energy releasing processes; 3) We identify seven physical laws predicted by the latter disciplines that have to be verified by all controlled nuclear fusions to occur in a systematic way; 4) We review the industrial research that can be disclosed at the moment in the most promising engineering realization and optimization of said seven laws; and 5) We review in construction details a number of reactors currently under industrial development for the possible realization of the novel controlled intermediate nuclear fusions with particular reference to reactors capable of producing large, industrially relevant heat for nuclear synthesis among light, natural and stable isotopes predicted by said covering theories {\it without} the emission of neutrons, protons and alphas and {\it without} the release of radioactive waste. Available reactors already produce several millions of $BTU$ per hour over the used electric energy, although this excess heat could be due to carbon combustion and other non-nuclear events. Hence, current industrial efforts aim at the increase of the efficiency and the net production of heat beyond the capabilities of orthodox interpretations. The results of these efforts, whether positive or negative, are expected to be published at some future time.

SUMMARY

Following 30 years of mathematical, theoretical, and experimental research, a generalization - covering of quantum mechanics has been achieved under the name of hadronic mechanics and has permitted various industrial applications in new clean burning and cost competitive fuels, now established in various countries. This report deals with a application of hadronic mechanics for the achievement of truly new and clean energies known as the Intermediate Controlled Nuclear Fusions. The ongoing research is based on the laboratory synthesis of the neutron as occurring in stars from a proton and an electron, which synthesis has already been achieved in a preliminary form. The research then deals with the synthesis of the nitrogen from carbon and deuterium via the intermediate synthesis of the neutron because the nitrogen synthesis is: very esoenergetic; the easiest among all possible nuclear syntheses; and the cleanest possible because, under threshold energies, it does not release harmful radiation and does not leave radioactive waste. A verifiable energy output of five times the used electric energy has been achieved to date thanks to significant corporate investments. A major effort is under way in the U.S.A. and abroad to understands the mechanisms of the nitrogen synthesis and enhance it to the level of a new electric power source,Th research has been pioneered by the Italian American physicist Dr. Ruggero Maria Santilli, a former scientist at Harvard University under DOE support (see his CV at http://www.i-b-r.org/Ruggero-Maria-Santilli.htm , a summary of his mathematical physical and chemical research in http://www.santilli-foundation.org/santilli-scientific-discoveries.html , and the Nobel Nominations in http://www.santilli-foundation.org/santilli-nobel-nominations.html)

ABSTRACT

In this article, we first review the studies conducted over the past three decades on the covering / generalization of quantum mechanics known as {\bf hadronic mechanics,} according to studies initiated in 1978 by the Italian-American physicist {\bf Ruggero Maria Santilli} when at Harvard University under DOE support and completed thanks to contributions from mathematicians, theoreticians and experimentalists around the world. We then review Santilli's application of hadronic mechanics to Rutherford's synthesis of the neutron from a hydrogen atom inside a star via a generalized bound state of a proton and an electron; we review the available experimental evidence on the laboratory synthesis of neutrons from protons and electrons; and we outline the possibility of stimulating the decay of the neutron, with possible applications to a basically new form of nuclear energy known as {\bf hadronic energy,} as well as to the {\bf recycling of nuclear waste via its stimulated decay.} In view of the {\bf environmental application of the studies,} the article includes a retrospective view suggesting the achievement of a technical knowledge of the new mechanics prior to venturing judgments via the old quantum mechanics due to its inapplicability to the synthesis of the neutroin from a proton and an electron identified in detail in the presentation. The article then ends with a forward view on the application of hadronic mechanics for the prediction and quantitative treatment of new energies at the particle, nuclear and molecular levels, with particular reference to energies that cannot be predicted or treated via quantum mechanics. The reader should be aware that this is a review article without claims of scientific novelties or priorities, except for a presentation of Santilli's advanced studies in a form more understandable to the average scientist.

About the Book

One of the biggest contemporary environmental problems is not given by fossil fuels per se, but by the fact that their conventional molecular structure via valence bonds is too strong to allow full combustion, thus producing atmospheric pollutants in the exhaust such as hydrocarbons (HC) and other pollutants. Following research initiated in the early 1980s at Harvard University under support from the U. S. Department of Energy, the Italian-American physicist Ruggero Maria Santilli has conceived, theoretically treated, experimentally verified and industrially produced new fuels with a new bond, not given by conventional valence, but by magnetic and other polarizations that are stable at ordinary temperatures, but disappear at the combustion temperature, thus allowing complete combustion without the release of atmospheric pollutants in the exhaust. The new chemical species is today called Santilli magnecules (to differentiate them from the ordinary molecules), and the new fuels are called fuels with magnecular structure. In a language understandable to the general audience, this book presents the conceptual foundations of the new chemical species of Santilli magnecules, outlines some of the rather vast experimental verifications, and presents three different new fuels with magnecular structure currently in industrial pproduction and sale under the trades names of MagnegasTM, HHOTM and MagneHydrogenTM.

ABSENCE OF UNIVERSE EXPANSION, DARK MATTER AND DARK ENERGY IN THE NEW ISOCOSMOLOGY WITH UNIVERSAL ISOSYMMETRY

ABSTRACT


We show that the expansion of the universe, the increase of the expansion with the distance, dark matter, dark energies and other cosmological views are a consequence of the assumed exact validity of special relativity for all possible conditions existing in the universe, expectedly, until the end of time, despite conditions dramatically different than those of the original conception and verification, basically restricted to point-masses in vacuum (empty space). In the hope of initiating the return to a due scientific process in astronomy, we recall the experimental evidence showing the alteration, called mutation, of the Minkowskian spacetime caused by physical media and the rather vast studies conducted for their quantitative and time-invariant treatment known under the names of (axiom-preserving) isospacetime, isosymmetries, isorelativity and isocosmology. We then show that isorelativity permits a quantitative and invariant treatment of intergalactic space as a physical medium with a well defined energy density causing a decrease of the speed of light due to loss of energy to the medium, with consequential cosmological redshift without relative motion (isoredshift) that eliminates the expansion of the universe, the increase of the expansion with the distance and dark matter, while representing the cosmic microwave radiation via the energy lost by light to the intergalactic medium and returned in the sole possible way, via radiations. We then recall the vast evidence that the maximal causal speed in the hyperdense interior of stars, quasars and black holes is much bigger than that of light in vacuum, thus yielding an energy equivalence much bigger than that for point masses in empty space that eliminates any need for dark energy. We indicate the differences of isocosmology with Zwicky's "Tired Light" cosmology and show that the covering isorelativity resolves known problematic aspects. We finally propose experiments feasible on Earth with current technologies permitting the resolution of the vexing problem as to whether the universe is expanding or not, in order to terminate the ongoing selection of cosmological models via the mere use of academic consensus, and the overdue return of astronomy to the serious experimental foundations initiated by Galileo Galilei.

Abstract

We report measurements, necessarily preliminary due to their novelty, toward the laboratory synthesis of the neutron from protons and electrons, in the hope that they are not judged via theoretical conjectures, but subjected instead to independent re-runs for their verification or denial, said process being requested by possible new clean energies so much needed by our increasing environmental problems.
