Experimental Progress Reported at ICCF-16

CHENNAI (India) — Japanese researcher Yasuhiro Iwamura, with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, reported more progress in his LENR transmutation research today. He also mentioned that Toyota Central Labs had successfully replicated his Cs -> Pr transmutation experiment.

The Naval Research Lab, Washington, D.C., continues to show an intriguing interest in LENR. Even more researchers from NRL have come here to present at ICCF this year. For the first time in a decade and a half, NRL researchers Dawn Dominguez and Ashraf Imam have reappeared in the conference series to give presentations. They have been trying to get excess heat in D/Pd electrolytic cells. No conclusive positive results, but they seem to be making a strong effort to get experience in the field.

The presentations by Dominguez and Imam were devoid of the cynicism that has been typical of NRL researcher David Kidwell in the past few years. Their experimental claims were very conservative and their efforts seemed sincere.

Italian researcher Andrea Petrucci gave a presentation on piezonuclear neutrons and transmutations. He and his colleagues had originally been working in a military laboratory but they lost access to the lab a few years ago. Petrucci told New Energy Times that the ENEA Casaccia laboratory has recently welcomed and hosted their research.
