2019/02/19 e021 Yasuhiro Iwamura, Nuclear Engineer and Research Professor with the Electron-Photon Research Center at Tohoku University has developed a unique method of transmutations with his team at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and now also with Clean Planet. Thin-film layers of metals and oxides are doped with elements and exposed to a deuterium gas, transmuting the elements. Experiments using radioactive cesium may lead to a method of transmuting radioactive waste into benign material. Dr. Iwamura is also working with a second Metal Hydrogen Energy generator successfully replicating excess heat profiles of the first MHE at Kobe University.

2019/01/15 e020 Robert Godes, President and Chief Technical Officer of Brillouin Energy Corporation, with 30-years experience as an inventor of technology with applications in areas from distributed data collection to control systems. Brillouin Energy Corp.’s signature product is the Hydrogen Hot Tube HHT, which has had leaps in output power in recent months. After having its technology tested and evaluated by SRI International, two reports were issued with power output generally less than 10 Watts thermal excess. New 2019 tests of the reactor core with a fresh Q-pulse panel are showing 100+ Watts at just over 2x power output.
