The Cold Fusion Reactor ( CFR v1.3 ) is fully based on the work of the researchers Tadahiko MIZUNO and Tadayoshi OHMORI from the Hokkaido University in Japan.

1 - Cold Fusion Reactor v1.3 - Description :

The Cold Fusion Reactor v1.3 is composed of a 700 mL glass vessel filled with a 600 mL solution of Sodium Hydrogenocarbonate ( NaHCO₃ ) 0.5 molar ( 0.5 M ). The Sodium Hydrogenocarbonate ( NaHCO₃ ) or baking soda is commonly named in France " Bicarbonate de Soude ".

The Cathode used is a pure tungsten rod ( W ) 2 mm diameter and 45 mm length from tungsten welding rods. The Anode used is composed of stainless steel mesh maintained with a stainless steel  shaft. All the wires connections are made with a 1.5 mm² copper flexible wire gained with silicon.

The Cathode used comes from tungsten welding rods.

2 - Experimental test setup :

The CFR v1.3 is powered with a DC voltage through a bridge rectifier connected to an isolation transformer. The voltage input has been measured with a digital oscilloscope Fluke 123 with a Shielded Test Lead STL 120 ( 1:1, 1 Mohms/225 pF ). The current input has been measured with a current clamp CIE Model CA-60A ( Accuracy DC Amps ±1.5%, AC Amps±2% (40Hz-2kHz), AC Amps±4%(2kHz-10kHz), AC Amps±6%(10kHz-20kHz) ). The temperature has been measured with a type "K" temp probe ( NiCrNi ) connected on a VC506 digital multimeter ( -20°C to +1200 °C with an accuracy of +/- 3% ). ( see the photo above ).

3 - Tests results :

Test procedure :

1) The temperature of the NaHCO₃ solution in the CFR has been set initially to 77°C.
2) The weight of the CFR v1.3 has been measured initially, it was 768 g.
3) The power supply has been switched on continuously and the Voltage/Current datas has been recorded in the Fluke 123 digital oscilloscope used as a data logger, up to a temperature of 97°C.
4) Then the weight of the CFR v1.3 has been measured, it was 740 g.

The run time has been 141.6 seconds.

CFR v1.4 : POWER INPUT/OUTPUT - TESTS RESULTS :

The Voltage/Current datas logged give an average electrical power input of 451 Watts during 141.6 seconds, so this gives :

ELECTRICAL ENERGY INPUT = 63866 Joules

The evaporated water in the CFR during the full boiling was 28 mL. We know that we need 2260 J/g to vaporize water. The temperature rise of the 600 mL was 20°C. So, this gives :

ENERGY OUTPUT = ( 28 x 2260 ) + ( 600 x 20 x 4.18 ) = 113440 Joules

Power OUTPUT = 801 Watts, Power Gain = 350 Watts

In the energy output calculations, I have used only the energy of the heat generated by the plasma. The energy of the burning Hydrogen-Oxygen mixture has not been taken into account...

Notes from Jean-Louis Naudin : This test of the CFR v1.3 with a pure 2mm tungsten rod shows that the Cold Fusion Reactor is now able to run for a long period. The W cathode and the NaHCO₃ solution are still clean after a lot of tests runs.
