3 Cold Fusion vs Piezonuclear Reactions A unified interpretation and theory of these phenomena has not been accepted and their comprehension still remains unresolved (Preparata 1991) Is there a relation between the experimental evidence of the so-called Cold Fusion, observed during the last two decades, and the Piezonuclear evidence recently observed from fracture of inert and nonradioactive materials? Phenomena in common : Neutron Emission Alpha Emission Compositional Changes Micro-cracking and Fracture

20 PALLADIUM ELECTRODE

21 Palladium ( 28.7%)

22 Iron (+2.0)

23 Calcium (+0.2)

24 Oxygen (+18.5) 18.5

25 Magnesium (+1.0)

26 Potassium (+1.5)

27 Silicon (+1.1%)

28 Element concentrations before and after the Electrolysis FIRST GENERATION REACTION (assumed) (1) Pd( 28.6%) = Ca (+10.8%) + Fe (+15.1%) + neutrons (+2.7 %)

29 SECOND GENERATION REACTIONS (2) Fe ( 15.1 %) = O (+12.9 %) +He (+1.1 %) + neutrons (+1.1)

30 SECOND GENERATION REACTIONS (2) Fe ( 15.1 %) = O (+12.9 %) +He (+1.1 %) + neutrons (+1.1) (3) Ca ( 5.9 %) = O (+4.7 %) + He (+1.2 %)

31 SECOND GENERATION REACTIONS (2) Fe ( 15.1 %) = O (+12.9 %) +He (+1.1 %) + neutrons (+1.1) (3) Ca ( 5.9 %) = O (+4.7 %) + H (+0.6 %) + neutrons (+0.6 %) (4) Ca ( 1.6 %) = O (+0.6 %) + Mg (+1.0 %)

32 SECOND GENERATION REACTIONS (2) Fe ( 15.1 %) = O (+12.9 %) +He (+1.1 %) + neutrons (+1.1) (3) Ca ( 5.9 %) = O (+4.7 %) + H (+0.6 %) + neutrons (+0.6 %) (4) Ca ( 1.6 %) = O (+0.6 %) + Mg (+1.0 %) The calculated O increase of 18.2% is very close to the experimental value of 18.5%.

33 Considering the experimental residual 0.2% of Ca, and the previously calculated residual 3.3% of Ca, the following two reactions provide a complete matching:

34 Considering the experimental residual 0.2% of Ca, and the previously calculated residual 3.3% of Ca, the following two reactions provide a complete matching: Ca ( 1.5 %) = K (+1.5 %) (5)

35 Considering the experimental residual 0.2% of Ca, and the previously calculated residual 3.3% of Ca, the following two reactions provide a complete matching: Ca ( 1.5 %) = K (+1.5 %) (5) Ca ( 1.6 %) = Si (+1.1 %) + C (+0.5 %) (6)

36 NICKEL ELECTRODE

37 Nickel ( 23.1%)

38 Oxygen (+19.5%)

39 Element concentrations before and after the Electrolysis (7) Ni ( 22.1%) = O (+18.0%) + He (+3.0%) + neutrons (+1.1) The calculated O increase of 18.0% is not far from the experimental value of 19.5%.

40 (8) Ni ( 1.0%) = Si (+0.9%) + neutrons (+0.1)

41 (8) Ni ( 1.0%) = Si (+0.9%) + neutrons (+0.1) (9) Fe ( 2.0%) = Al (+1.9%) + neutrons (+0.1)

42 Compositional Analysis of the Electrodes PALLADIUM ELECTRODE AFTER THE TEST Macro-cracking after 20 hours 100µm

43 WAVELENGHT vs FREQUENCY Metre Earthquakes Humans Insects Bacteria Proteins Hertz

44 Wavelenght vs Frequency f = v λ Nano-scale vs TeraHertz Hz = ms 9 10 m

45 Frequency vs Energy E = hf TeraHertz vs Vibrational Energy of the Atomic Lattice ev = evs Hz

46 CONCLUSIONS (1) The primary phenomenon appears to be a symmetric fission of the atom of nickel into two silicon atoms, or two atoms of magnesium. In the latter case, additional fragments were found to be constituted by alpha particles. (2) In a second investigation, where a palladium electrode was used, the primary process appears to be the non-symmetric fission of palladium into iron and calcium, whereas the secondary processes appear to be the further fissions of both such products into oxygen and alpha particles.

Average Atomic Mass. A new unit called the atomic mass unit (amu) was developed to deal with the very small units of mass for particles like the atom. Average Atomic Mass Since atoms are so small and the mass of individual atoms is also very small, it is not useful to use the units of grams or kilogram.
