Cold fusion: Mondaini, another competitor of Rossi's E-cat?

Is the era of DIY cold fusion opening up? The new proposal by Rendo Mondaini, who with a few simple tools claims to have achieved electrolytic cold fusion

He is about to end up run over, his mother saves him

Is called Renzo Mondaini the new competitor of Andrea Rossi in the field of Cold Fusion? The scholar from Ravenna, in three videos on YouTube he openly tells of the latest experiments he carried out "in his spare time". An electronic expert who has thehobby to do it amateur scientist, as he defines himself. In the last year Mondaini would have dedicated himself to electrolytic cold fusion, that is to one non-radioactive low-energy nuclear reaction. And the most sensational thing, for us who have become accustomed to Rossi's silence on the functioning of his E-Cat, is that the Ravenna expert explains his experiment step by step.

For electrolytic cold fusion, according to Mondaini, you need a glass jar with water inside, with a dissolved substance to make it conductive. Two electrodes are immersed inside which will be powered with a continuous voltage higher than 150 volts and adjustable.

According to Mondaini, the two electrodes they must be asymmetric, that is the very immersed anode and the little immersed cathode, with a ratio of 1: 5 and 1: 6. And in his recipe to make water conductive just add any type of salt or acid.

Organic substances such as sugar, acetic acid, which do not generate ions in solution, are not good.

explains Mondaini in the video: “In this way we have the electrolysis of water, hydrogen at the cathode, oxygen at the anode, but a strange thing happens if I lift the cathode. There is a concentration of positive hydrogen ions, ie protons that if they exceed a certain current density ignite these sparks. If, on the other hand, I lower the electrode, this reaction switches off and only the electolysis of the water is carried out ".

But by increasing the voltage up to 350 volts, a formation of plasma.

And by immersing the positive anode and the negative cathode, with a voltage of 350 volts triggers the electrolytic cold fusion. But by inverting the two electrodes, immersing the cathode first and then the anode, no reaction is formed. However, it happens that if you touch the glass with the anode, the energy released, if it can be defined as such, manages to melt the vessel.

Finally, in a third video Mondaini explains thetrigger of the reaction.

It also happens that while performing the electrolytic cold fusion a medium wave radio turned on at a short distance receives numerous electromagnetic disturbances. And from here Mondaini draws another conclusion: "If I with a spectrum analyzer can see which radio emissions are emitted, I can establish which element has entered into reaction in this plasma that forms around the cathode". With a good analyzer on loan, Mondaini found that “there are particular emissions, there is a very powerful 117 megaherz emission and I understood that it is due to the OH molecule“.

We do not know and cannot judge whether the experiment conducted by Mondaini can really become something important or even revolutionary. But we are curious to know what he thinks about it Rossi, which for some time has been inviting us to be wary of do-it-yourself inventions. Fear of competition, perhaps?
