Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A significant energy release over a short time is achieved in replicable experiments involving the interaction of deuterium gas with constantan specimens. The experiments were carried out in a gas chamber where the injected deuterium interacted with heated specimens: (i) Many replicable experiments were performed at initial temperatures in the range of 666–681 °C. The temperatures of the specimens began to increase ~8 s after the beginning of deuterium injection as additional increases of 358–382 °C reached after ~30 s. The released excess power was in the range of 183–209 W, its density ranged from ~114–130 W/g, and the ratio of (output power)/(input power) was ≈ 3.76–3.91. (ii) Several replicable experiments were performed at initial temperatures of 950 °C. In all these experiments, explosive evaporation of the wires occurred immediately after the beginning of deuterium injection. The released excess momentary power was greater than 3400 W, its density was 2280 W/g, and the ratio of (output power)/(input power) was ≈ 16 and greater. The outcomes found were as follows: (a) the released excess power was not of electrical origin; (b) the released excess power of chemical origin was less than ~0.18% of the total released excess power; (c) the significant density of the released excess power; and (d) helium release, correlating with the energy release, was observed. The conclusion that the released energy is of nuclear origin was drawn.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
