November 4, 20232 yr Err.... if this is true its astonishing and world changing. Fusion just using water or air and 5 times energy out as put in. Q factor of 2.4 thermal or 5 electrical. Validated by an independent agency. https://eng8.energy/ Be sceptical my friends, but if true the world is about to change rapidly and profoundly. Edited November 4, 20232 yr by martin-w
November 4, 20232 yr Author ENG8 International has developed a low energy catalysed fusion process. Fusion releases over a million times more energy than chemical combustion processes. Introducing the EnergiCell; a breakthrough in energy technology that produces excess energy using only water or air as fuel. EnergiCells contain high density plasma, electro-magnetic fields and catalysts that create stable fusion. This generates energy that is safe, clean, and sustainable, with the potential to transform the energy industry. Prototype EnergiCells have: Demonstrated a CoP* of up to 30 in ENG8’s laboratory and is targeting a CoP of 5-10 for MVP stage (Minimal Viable Product). Been independently verified to produce a CoP of 1.8 in the UK and 1.97 in Portugal. Edited November 4, 20232 yr by martin-w
November 4, 20232 yr “We have a plasma system inside. We have an electrochemical reaction happening inside the energy cell. The water is coming in. It's basically releasing its energy. It's going back out as steam and then it can go into the environment and be recharged by the sunshine and later it would rain and, you know, fall on the earth and go back into our water system so it's a complete circular energy economy, if that's the right word. The energy goes in as water, it goes out as water, gets recharged and comes back in again.” So, it's a catalysed conversion of ortho-water (water isomer containing ortho-hydrogen) to para-water (water isomer containing para-hydrogen) and, when the water is returned to the environment, it gradually reverts to the normal isomer ratio of 1:1. “The primary energy release mechanism is a catalysed fusion process where protons and neutrons are fused into new elements.” I don't understand the fusion part. The protons and neutrons must be coming from the water so, if they are being fused into new elements, how is the water unchanged, Dugald Walker

Interesting that the Q-Value has been validated at Culham though. Cambridge University are involved too. We need a video with a better explanation. Quote Our EnergiCells are regularly validated by independent entities to prove fusion and performance. An EnergiCell was first independently validated in the UK in December 2020 by Dr. Robert Morgan from Brighton University. The independent validation showed that 1.8x more energy in the form of heat was released than from the electricity used to power the EnergiCell; thus the Q Factor is 1.8. In H1 2023 transmutation, the proof of fusion was independently validated by CICECO and the University of Cambridge. In August 2023 IEP validated a thermal Q factor of 2.4. Underwriters Laboratories of the US, independently validated Q5 electrical in October. Any Q Factor electrical above 1 is a very significant milestone as this means the EnergiCell can self-power.

November 4, 20232 yr Author Fusion developer hits world-first independently verified generation milestone https://energycentral.com/c/cp/fusion-developer-hits-world-first-independently-verified-generation-milestone Quote Fusion energy specialist, ENG8, has demonstrated an electrical energy output five times greater than the energy used in this ground-breaking, independent validation at Culham Innovation Centre in Oxfordshire, one of the top five leading fusion centres in the world, and home to the UK’s Atomic Energy Authority. During each of the three tests, lasting approximately 10 minutes each, ENG8’s ‘EnergiCell’ consistently scored an electrical energy output of five – one unit of electrical energy in, and five units of electrical energy, created by fusion, coming out “Most encouragingly, a representative of Underwriters Laboratories also attended and said that their tests of the device indicated a COP (Q) of five plus the possibility to improve that figure even further.” This is sufficient to enable the EnergiCell-powered power plants to be self-powering in 2024 and capable of commercial sales of emission-free energy. Still to be determined by manufacturing and distribution costs, ENG8’s EnergiCells are on track to provide a low-cost and secure source of energy for both domestic and commercial users. Valeria Tyutina, CEO at ENG8, said: “The results are quite brilliant, the stability of the fusion reaction was incredible, and this development can make the biggest difference to climate change of any other technology on earth. It changes everything – faster than you think.” Edited November 4, 20232 yr by martin-w
