UPDATE (Mar 21, 2017)

I have made some inquiries about this presentation. The conference organizers informed me that the proceedings of the conference will be published in June 2017 on their website at http://jcfrs.org/ , and nothing before them. I also contacted a member of the Nissan team asking if they could share a paper or slides. He responded that they could not, because he said they don’t understand this phenomena correctly, but after they understand it they would publish a paper in the future.

Thanks to Ing. Michelangelo De Meo for posting the following abstract on the Journal of Nuclear Physics. A group of researchers from automaker Nissan will be making a presentation at the upcoming 17th Meeting of the Japan CF-Research Society that will be held on March 19-20 at the National Institute of Technology at Tokyo College.

The development of technologies friendly to the global environment is a major theme in the

automotive industry today. Especially, to reduce CO2 emission and to achieve cleaner exhaust

emissions, Electrical Vehicle, EV, has received a lot of attention in recent years. The sales numbers

of 100%-EV was around 6 times higher for the past 5 years. 100%-EV means that it does not have

any other power source except motors. Nissan launched it, named LEAF, in 2010 and the total

number of sales exceeded 250,000. But some customers complains the mileage per 1 charge, around

200km. In particular, the mileage in winter season could decrease by half due to using of heater, this

should be solved.

In 2010, A. Rossi reported E-cat, Energy Catalyzer. This equipment can generate heat energy

from Ni and H2 reaction and the energy is larger than input one. This experiment was replicated by

A Parkhomov but the reaction mechanism has NOT been clarified [1-2]. If we can use this heat

energy as a heater application into EV, the problem of short mileage caused by using heater will be

solved, the EV with this equipment will be a candidate for customers who have a sense of

dissatisfaction that they should charge very often.

In this report we will report 2 things. The first one is the experimental results regarding to

reproducing Parkhomov’s experiment with some disclosing experimental conditions using

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (STA-PT1600, Linseis Inc.). This DSC can measure generated

heat within a tolerance of 2%. The second one is our expectation on this reaction for automotive

potential.
