Nanortech, Inc.

Product: The NANOR (Dr. Mitchell Swartz)

Structure: two terminal quantum electronic component with Pd nanoparticles embedded in ZrO insulating matrix,preloaded with deuterium, and energized by applying ~ 1 kV between the terminals.

Good reproducibility & controllability.

Reports existence of optimum operating points for LENR reactors.

Measured power densities (20 W/g) within factor of 2 of Rossi.

Has publicly demonstrated extended operation.

Performance report expected around Feb-Mar., 2016.

Peak C.O.P. (Pout/Pin) = 22-80 (JCMNS 15 , pgs. 66-80).

Brillouin Energy, Inc.

Products: WET TM boiler, Hydrogen Hot Tube TM (Robert Godes)

Basis: nickel catalyst + hydrogen + electronic excitation causescontrolled electron capture reaction, forming

He and releasing thermal energy.

Proposed mechanism: heavy electron is captured by hydrogen nucleus, converting it into a neutron.....

Some similarities to W-L, but also significant differences.

Business target market: industrial boiler replacement market.

Good reproducibility & controllability.

LENR Cars, Inc.

Product: LENR Fuel Cell (Mr. Nicholas Chauvin) – to be used in powering electric vehicles (cars, boats, trains, even aircraft).

Structure: LENR reactor generates large quantities of heat,converted to electricity via free piston Stirling generator or super-critical CO microturbine.

Such generators are not highly efficient, but LENR power density compensates for this limitation many times over.

Predicted range per fuel charge: 3

Lattice Energy, Inc.

Proposed Products: Thermal generators for cars (Lewis Larsen)

Basis: Widom-Larsen Theory; surface plasmon polariton accelerates electron, electroweak reaction causes absorption by hydrogen nucleus, creating low momentum neutron, easily captured, leading to further nuclear reactions.

Aspects of Widom-Larsen Theory:

1.Does not require Strong Force interaction.

2.Electroweak interaction uses collective effects of lattice (plasmon).

3.Slow neutron thereby created is not repelled by Coulomb Force.

4.Theory has both strong proponents & critics.

5.Proponents include NASA Langley (Dennis Bushnell / Joe Zawodny).

6.Critics include most of the other LENR theorists.

Lenuco, Inc.

Products: still in development (George Miley & team)

Miley has support of Dept. of Nuclear, Plasma, & Radiological Engineering, University of Illinois, Urbana/Champaign.

Basis: Gas loading & deloading to/from “alloy nanoparticles.”

Materials progress: Team understands pure metals don't work very well as host lattices – also shown by NRL.

Team has shown value of “nanoparticles,” however output drops when particles aggregate (also shown by NRL).

Swartz, Arata, & others found that embedding nanoparticles in insulating matrix of ZrO eliminates problem of aggregation.

Report large heat pulses during gas loading / unloading.

Consistent with flux initiating superoscillations (Ukranians).

Nichenergy, Inc.

Products: still in development (Francesco Piantelli)

Piantelli has support of Dept. of Physics, University of Siena.

Basis: Hydrogen is loaded into specially-prepared wires. Then electrical current passed through wires, yielding excess heat.

Piantelli worked with Sergio Focardi & might have been the person who originally inspired Andrea Rossi.

Piantelli was granted EU patent for LENR generator.

Nichenergy believed to be close to commercializing product.
