“Water can trigger nuclear reactions to produce energy and isotope gases”

Excerpt:
Cold fusion or LENR can be found from the boiling of water
The LENR technology developed by Professor Huang’s team is classified as cavitation-induced fusion (CIF). It utilizes water as the medium and operates at low temperatures below 200 °C. By employing fluid dynamics and cavitation technology, the reactors can stimulate nuclear reactions reproducibly, achieving high-power output under continuous operation. The reactors feature a simple structure, scalability to power plant levels, low costs, and a coefficient of performance (COP, energy output/input ratio) ranging from 1.2 to 4.3.
In the course of their research, Huang’s team found that water stimulated in LENR testing contained non-condensable gases:
“Mass spectrometer tests revealed the presence of neon isotopes (Ne22), carbon dioxide (CO2), oxygen-17 heavy water (H2O-17) isotope, CO2 isotope (12C-16O-17O), and oxygen isotope (16O-17O). This confirmed that water was stimulated by a nuclear reaction, producing energy, with the O17 isotope identified as a key intermediate in these reactions.”
Huang’s team is building a commercial LENR device and in the article he explains that currently they are in phase 1 of their project which is to build a LENR prototype, following which they plan to build a boiler systems for power plants, and eventually move into full scale LENR power generation.
