Title: Continuing Successful Low Energy Nuclear Fusion Reaction Experiments
Keywords: constantan, deuterium, low-energy nuclear reaction, nuclear fusion, solid-state fusion, temperature

Abstract: This paper builds on the continuous successful experiments of Low Energy Nuclear Reaction in solids in the Lakehead University’s Semiconductor Research Laboratory. In previous experiments excess heat generation, helium release and correlation between the two have been reported. The current paper aims to investigate the optimal temperature for deuterium-constantan interaction and lead to an increased reaction time and higher generated heat. Three initial temperatures have been tested – 510°C, 527°C and 535°C. Similar reaction patterns have been observed with the first two temperatures and prolonged reaction time with the 535°C experiment. From this the conclusion was drawn that this is the temperature where there is most energy release. The mass-spectroscopic analysis of the gases in the experiments confirms the nuclear origin of the released energy.
