Mitsubishi has been reporting transmutations for some time. Now Toyota is reporting the same thing.
http://news.newenergytimes.net/2012/12/06/mitsubishi-reports-toyota-replication/ (Sorry to a link to Krivit, and a requirement to pay if you want the full article.)
In addition, these transmutations have been replicated by Osaka University and Iwate University.
I particularly like this quote, “Toyota researchers confirmed that nuclear changes from one element to another took place without the use of high-energy nuclear physics.” It shows the significance of this reaction.
I also find it very interesting that the Japanese automakers are doing this research. What will happen to the auto industry if the Japanese are years ahead of the Americans when it comes to new fuel free cars.
AAnd, when will the physicists of this world recognize that there is a new physics?
(Thanks to e-catworld.com for putting me on to this.)

I dance. I dance the “Patho-Skeptic Slam”! Where is Craig Binns? Perhaps he would also like to dance the “Patho-Skeptic Slam”. Oh, Craig is not here. I wonder why Craig is not here. I grieve that Craig is not here. Dancing the “Patho-Skeptic Slam” is so much more fun when a patho-skeptic is present. Dang.
December 7, 2012 at 8:39 am |
“What will happen to the auto industry if the Japanese are years ahead of the Americans when it comes to new fuel free cars.” Not much. It will be too easy to convert to the new fire for there to be much of an impact.
December 7, 2012 at 9:02 am |
Remember, this is a big change. We have gravitation. We have the electromagnetic force. We have the strong nuclear force. But we have not until now had the weak nuclear force. (And the word “weak” should not give anyone the impression that this force is weak in terms of our lives.) People will have trouble adjusting to the idea of the “New Fire”. This has never happened before in billions and billions of years.
December 7, 2012 at 9:17 am |
Thanks for the heads-up Bruce. I no longer look at Krivit’s site – funnily enough this is confirmation why, since the announcement was 3 weeks ago. I suppose none of us were looking in the right place.
What I’d really love to see is a replication of Vysotskii’s work. That would really throw a few cats amongst the pigeons.
December 7, 2012 at 10:52 am |
Vysotskii’s? You mean Vlad from Arizona State? He’s my best friend. Just yesterday we were sitting in a cafe talking advanced physics. Too bad you couldn’t be there.
Who the hell is Vysotskii?
You were fishing, weren’t you?
December 7, 2012 at 11:04 am
Vysotskii was the guy who found that mould, when starved of Iron, makes it from Magnesium. He thus showed that LENR is a natural process, and is all around us. Someone else (can’t remember who at the moment) showed that new-hatched chicks contain more Potassium than was laid in the egg, so the egg-processes must get it from somewhere.
Interestingly, also the high-grade stainless steel used by brewers gets pits around the water-line – may be chemical, but Larsen found some evidence of unusual elements there and in oil-tanks. Sort of blurs the line between nuclear and chemical, physical and biological.
December 7, 2012 at 11:28 am
I read about the transmutation of elements in the 1970′s but haven’t heard much since, expect of course in connection with LENR.
Seriously, I was only kidding about having lunch with Vysotskii. It was just a chance meeting. Well, actually, I was wearing a T-shirt with his picture on it and spilled some ice cream on his picture. It wasn’t all that intimate.
Seriously, really, seriously this time: There have been all manner of exceptions in health (which is my main field of study) that defy reason, like what I mentioned people in loving families doing very well and loners doing really not so well, and yet they seem to eat the same food. Thank God I have such a good family.

While Mitsubishi does have an auto group, it comprises a tiny fraction of its business. I wonder which part of Mitsubishi is doing the LENR research? Mitsubishi is also into shipping, ship building, and aircraft mfg. Mitsubishi build the famous WW2 “Zero” fighter plane.
December 8, 2012 at 1:15 am |
It is too bad that while American universities were leaders in pure research, other vampires used that for investment for to jump start their applied R&D. US universities have been slowing down on their patients too.
Frankly, this is exactly like what you would expect for a declining super-power. As little as twenty years ago, the US was leading in education, but we are now slowly falling behind. This has been accompanied by a general philosophical ossification where our students lead in self-esteem and belief that they are the best, but their performance is mediocre.
Furthermore, there is an matching political decline, where necessary infrastructure and educational investments are not being made because of the false belief that the US has a “manifest destiny” to lead, whereas that role requires constant work and maintenance and innovation.
I am NOT anti-American, or part of the blame-US-first crowd. Finally, LENR (and whatever physical reaction is producing transmutation reported above) is one of the most important paradigm shifts to come alone since the Haber process, and the philosophical ossification I noted is retarding our institutions ability to eliminate the primary barrier to our economy’s growth (i.e. very cheap and super abundant energy).
December 8, 2012 at 9:17 am |
Brad Arnold, I hate to be confrontational, but the Haber process will be the end of civilization. Artificial fertilizers and other franken-ingredients in our food supply are the cause of 97% of our chronic, degenerative diseases, like obesity, diabetes, cancer, heart disease, etc., etc., etc.
LENR is way beyond the Haber process. I would liken the Haber process to hot nuclear reactions, only much worse. Anyone who thinks that franken-fertilizers and franken-food is good for health has no clue.
December 8, 2012 at 9:32 am
Roger – the main problem I see with fertilisers is that they are too simple. Use too much nitrates and the plant grows well but is missing trace nutrients (thus leading to the diseases as you say). I think this problem is now well-enough recognised that trace elements are added as well by good farmers. What the Haber process gave us was an ability to grow much more food on the same land area, so there are more of us not starving and thus able to think of the next improvements.
Not bad, therefore, but a step on the way to doing things better.
December 8, 2012 at 9:48 am
Simon, the motivation for switching to artificial fertilizers was NEVER to feed more people. It was to get the cost down below the competitor who lives down the road. There are still plenty of hungry people in this country and Africa and elsewhere, and artificial fertilizers haven’t seemed to have helped them.
And your idea that farmers are adding trace minerals assumes a lot of things. (1) They know. (2) They care. (3) They can afford to. (4) Scientists know the exact mixture and presence of every mineral and every pro-biotic and every other substance that we don’t yet know about.
So, I will be continuing to push for natural fertilizers until scientists are omniscient and farmers care enough to do something about it.
December 8, 2012 at 10:01 am
Roger – all your points are valid. I still think that it was a necessary step along the way. We have been looking forward here to indoor farms where all those various nutrients will need to be added to the soil in those high-rise intensive farm beds. In order to avoid the food from that being unhealthy we’ll need to know more. In preparation for the trip to Mars, there have been tests on various compact farming methods to grow the food along the way in a very small closed system. I’m not expecting omniscience, but I think enough will be known over the next decade or so to make such food healthy at least. Mostly I think we’ll be able to tell by the taste – taste the difference between a home-grown and mass-produced tomato. If things taste as good as a bio one, then that’s a good start.
December 8, 2012 at 11:23 am
Roger, I usually agree with you, but there’s no way that the world’s masses could survive without modern fertilizer and modified plants.
If Marie Antoinette were alive today, she would say, “Let them eat organic veggies and grass-fed beef”.
December 8, 2012 at 11:54 am
Iggy, I usually agree with you, and I enjoy your posts a bunch.
I don’t believe what you said. If the food system put as much time, energy, and money into creating holistic fertilizers as they do franken-fertilizers, they could. But they make and use franken-fertilizers because it saves money, not because they have a clue about their own health.
December 10, 2012 at 7:04 am
Over-processing of food is another matter. Most convenience food is over-processed, depleting much of the nutrition and causing the food to be metabolized too quickly, provoking spikes in glucose, resulting in diabetes. Grain has to be processed but such processing should be kept to a minimum.
December 10, 2012 at 8:23 am
I am happy to report that we probably agree in practice about “organic”. I think that it may be over-rated. I can’t afford organic, most of the time.
But what you describe as the problems with processing is only the tip of the iceberg.
On second thought, the quality of the soils is going to impact the quality of the food.
Yeah, I did not reach a conclusion here because I haven’t reached a conclusion in the matter of organic.
December 10, 2012 at 8:20 am
Iggy – I agree on the fertiliser issue, but I think it needs to be handled better now we know more about what plants and people need. On genetically-modified organisms, however, I’m with Roger since I think we do not yet know enough about how DNA does its magic. It’s possible we may never know quite enough about that, since it’s very complex in the way it does things and there is a high chance of unintended consequences that may make life very difficult.
Use of fertilisers and modern agricultural methods have given us the time and freedom from starvation to be able to think about how to do things better. I do expect that we’ll find better ways to produce food, and that it will be of higher quality too. Being aware of a problem, and admitting it’s there, is the first step to fixing it, and people are now aware of the problems.
December 10, 2012 at 9:10 am
I lean toward your position, Simon. Although GMOs hold great promise, they are fraught with possible unintended consequences.
December 10, 2012 at 12:50 pm
Wow. Mr Bird, I consider you to be an environmental EarthFirst! extremist. I’ve seen this type of purist philosophy again and again, and it is (to be explanatory, not balanced) pro-poverty. The Haber process dramatically increased the availability of food to feed humans and their animals, which has raised the standard of living for the world dramatically. (With respect) Shame on you and your (again to be unfair, but in my opinion accurate) anti-human thoughts. GreenPeace started as a reasonable pro-environmental organization, and has since devolved into a shameful extremist organization which is anti-Gold Rice, which would save countless thousands of children from going blind. It is difficult to assess the pain and misery that would be present in the world if you and your ilk had their way.
That being said, God bless Mother Earth. We are all part of the eco-system, and sometimes people act like they were separate from Gaea.
December 10, 2012 at 2:37 pm
Your first sentence is all I read, Brad, since it contained nothing but childish name calling. You can do better than that.
December 8, 2012 at 8:39 am |
Thanks Bruce………I learn a lot from this site…..more…..more
December 8, 2012 at 8:45 am |
Brad…..I agree with much of what you said above……but I think you are pretty rough on our universities and you forget the US’s ability to recreate itself because of our human diversity and political system.
December 10, 2012 at 12:58 pm |
On the bright side, we (humans) are shifting paradigms twice as fast each decade (according to Kurzweil). It is just frustrating, because the dead wood is holding us back. Experts seem to have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo, so we can expect the exponential breakthroughs to come from non-experts. Basically, every exponential breakthrough has come despite the best effort of “experts” to nay-say it, and proclaim it is impossible.
Humanity is facing big problems, and experts and play-it-safers (which America seems to have largely become) are not helping us innovate. As long as they live a comfortable life, they think they are taking the moral high ground and being realistic nay-saying and even stifling innovation. It is so frustrating. Remember TWO Presidential commissions declared “cold fusion” (LENR or the FPE) to be non-sense.
December 10, 2012 at 2:40 pm
I wouldn’t talk if I were you, Brad. I am just trying to get my diet (and suggest to others) in line with the Theory of Evolution, and the status-quo Big business – Big government idiots are trying to hold us back so that they can have more control and more money. Which side are you on, Brad, the Theory of Evolution or the Big Business and Big Government?
December 11, 2012 at 9:39 am
The 7th Day Adventist community of Loma Linda, CA is the longest living and healthiest group in America and eat the diametrical opposite of the Paleo (caveman) diet. Cavemen were lucky to live to their 40s.
December 11, 2012 at 11:03 am
Iggy, now I understand. You think that I think that when I say “paleo” I mean eating lots of meat. I eat mostly veggies, eggs, occasionally fish and even some meat, very occasionally. Paleo is about matching one’s OWN genes with one’s OWN diet and lifestyle. It is not about beating one’s chest and eating lots of raw meat. That may be the case for some people, but not for me. I don’t do well with beef.
This is a mistake that a lot of people make because we have this fantasy in our heads about cavemen killing mastadons with their bare hands and tearing the legs off of the mastadon and eating it raw, then beating their chest some more, and then eating more raw meat. Even people who say that they are paleo have this fantasy. No. It is about genes and matching diets and lifestyles to one’s OWN genes.
I am also very keen on those population studies that you mentioned. There can’t be anything wrong with what works, now, can there?
December 11, 2012 at 9:52 am
Nice explanation , that i’ve quoted there:
http://www.lenrforum.eu/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=973
because it deserve to be kept.
To be more nasty and politically incorrect I would say that not only the experts, but also the doom-sayers and fear-mongers are allied to block evolution, so they all can conserve things as it is and as they are pleased of. I see even more conspiracy against progress in NGO than in governments and corporations. Today each pretends to use true science to block changes.
December 11, 2012 at 1:20 pm
OK, Roger, you & I have about the same diet. I also eat grains, but try to focus on whole grains. Today for lunch, I had collard greens, pinto beans with black rice. Black rice (aka Forbidden Rice) is as black as caviar.
I’m suspicious of “low carb” diets. Low carb may be an easier and quicker way to lose weight but I fear it will result in cardiovascular disease. My old business partner lost 60 or 70 lbs on the Atkins Diet and he now has heart disease.
IMO, the best diet for preventing or reversing CVD is the Esselstyn Diet…..strictly vegan with zero added fat or oil, i.e. nothing fried and no salad oil, not even olive oil.
I am not on this diet but I would like to.
December 11, 2012 at 1:49 pm
Human beings have had only 10,000 years to genetically adapt to grains. They have had 650 million years to genetically adapt to raw meat and veggies. This is why I believe in paleo. But my spiritual side knows that raw meat brings out the animal in me, and you won’t like me when my animal comes out. (:->)
But, avoiding CVD is not the sole purpose. Being as healthy and disease-free as possible is the sole purpose. I will continue to try to match my diet/lifestyle with my genes, and any other added health goodie that comes along.
December 11, 2012 at 2:00 pm
Roger, what do you know about your genes? Have you had genetic testing? The 7th Dayers that are so healthy, are big grain eaters. How do you know you’re different?
To me, processed grain is the enemy, i.e. white flour and white rice.
December 11, 2012 at 5:58 pm
The only thing I know for sure is that (1) a lot of people suffer from gluten problems and other gastro-intestinal issues and they get better when they stop grains, (2) we have not had enough time for our genes to have adapted to grains, and (3) there are things in grains like lectins and phytic acid that are commonly called anti-nutrients. It makes sense that grains would try to defend themselves from being eaten.
I eat grains regularly, but only because I get no support from my family or society.
December 11, 2012 at 8:51 pm
Dr Esselstyn, an Olympic gold medalist, is close to 80 and seems to be quite healthy. His son, Rip Esselstyn, is also an avid promoter of this diet and is a former professional tri-athlete.
I’m 73, Mom’s 94, my friend, Ralph, is 101, and my friend, Gabe is 77, and his mom died last year at 106…..all life long grain eaters. So I guess those lectins eventually catch up with all of us.
Don’t get me wrong, some people have an intolerance to gluten. You’ll find someone, somewhere, that is allergic to some particular food. In my personal experience, I’ve never had an acquaintance that was gluten intolerant. Growing up, there was no such thing as peanut allergy. Peanut allergy was invented by allergists, and suddenly every overprotected kid has it.
December 12, 2012 at 8:18 am
Iggy, I think that what you said about peanut allergies is just your crankiness showing. If we the people eat frankenfoods for enough generations, then weaknesses start to show. People die from peanut allergies. But if the mother or father of a person with a peanut allergy had not gone to that Twinkie eating contest the night before conception, perhaps the person with the allergy might not have had the allergy. Just a funny example.
There is this thing called epigenetics, which I suspect you already know about. I hate doctors with every fiber of my being, but I still believe that there are people who are allergic to latex and peanuts and wheat and other thing, and I think that this is new, and I think that it is not caused by doctors trying to make money but by shitty diets for generations.
December 11, 2012 at 9:33 pm
I have had my own experience with wheat. Last Easter I decided to drop wheat (gluten). My diabetes jumped into much better control! Within 3 days I had to reduce my insulin intake dramatically. When the dust settled about 3 months later, I had lost 35 pounds and reduced my insulin intake by 75%. My pancreas, which had ceased to do anything at all for me for about 3 years had again taken primary control of my blood-sugars. I now only provide a basil level of slow acting insulin because my dear pancreas is not up to full function by any means.
By body is hyper-sensitive to wheat. If I eat 3 grams of wheat it’ll show up in my blood-sugars in about 3 hours.
My wife has had similar benefits from dropping gluten. The young lady that lives in our basement used to not be able to hold down a full time job because of fatigue. She gave up wheat, and was suddenly able to hold down a full-time job. Further, she lost 25 pounds.
Wheat (gluten) is certainly not an issue for all. It seems to do no harm to my youngest daughter. I have talked with others who have seriously tried a gluten-free diet with no apparent benefit. But it would seem that about 1 in 3 people benefit significantly from abandoning wheat.
December 12, 2012 at 8:34 am
This could actually be a sign of adaptation, like lactose intolerance. Some people are adapted to it. Some aren’t. But, everyone should try going off wheat for a few weeks to see if they are adapted to wheat or not. Oftentimes, problems may be so subtle that one does not realize even that they are problems; sometimes one does not connect the dots. These kinds of issues can have different symptoms for different people.
Thanks for the post, Bruce. I hate trying to argue with Iggy. I come away battered and bruised. (:->)
December 11, 2012 at 10:09 pm
Well Bruce, good for you. Whatever works for you. I too, am a diabetic, but apparently much milder than you. I consume grains and my A1C has never exceeded the 5s. Never required insulin. Perhaps I would be ever healthier if I could keep it in the 4s. I do, however, try to do at least 3 days/week with 1.5 hours of brisk walking.
I still remain convinced that processed food is the enemy, especially white flour and sugar. Crude foods, such as oats groats and wheat berries are slowly metabolized. These are the forms that are consumed by animals. These are the forms that that primitive man thrived on. Man didn’t develop molars for anything but grinding.
Personally I feel health, to a large extent, is a roll of the dice….i.e. genetics.
December 12, 2012 at 4:39 am
I think there’s a lot more variation in individual body-chemistry than is currently acknowledged, so each person needs to know what is good for them personally and what is not. Evolution produces such variations, and in the past the ones that couldn’t live on the food available simply died (or didn’t reproduce, which amounts to the same thing).
Although this discussion is a bit off-topic, there’s merit in all the points put up. We all want health, wealth (however you define it) and happiness. Even the people who try to block advances (as Alain pointed to) are really just trying to hold on to a system where they’re doing well – changes tend to disadvantage such people unless they move their positions.
The problem with experimenting with your own diet is that you have 1 subject and no control to measure against. You can’t isolate the effect of a dietary change since the cause of any change may be one or more of any number of other things. It’s very subjective. On the other hand, if you feel better then it’s probably worth continuing along whatever path you’re trying, provided you can afford it. Just don’t assert that, because it worked for you, it’s necessarily good for everyone, but it’s good to tell people in case they want to try to see if it works for them.
December 12, 2012 at 8:36 am |
And why are we talking about health here? Because, epistomologically speaking, it is very similar to LENR and LENT . We are on the cusp of a revolution. The Establishment is trying to hold the line on any progress. People’s lives will be greatly improved. Personal experience is vital.
December 12, 2012 at 9:44 am |
Just as I suspected. Peanut allergy is caused by overprotective parents and lack of peanuts.
December 12, 2012 at 9:57 am
I live in peanut country. The peanut crop plus timber and cotton is our economic base. I live 70 miles south of Dothan, Alabama, the peanut capital of the USA. We cut our eyeteeth on peanuts and we don’t have peanut allergy.
The modern world also suffers from too much hygiene. To build a strong immune system, children need to get down and dirty. Go barefoot, step on rusty nails, get a good dose of parasites (and I don’t mean GimmeCrats).

Craig, The challenge to your argument is the entire community of those who claim to have produced the anomalous results. I know this gets a bit tedious, but we’re back to the list of replicators — which of course is limited to those who have produced the results using nickel. If those finding anomalous results using palladium are added in, the field of scientific expertise becomes even more impressive. Not as impressive as the great Craig Binns, however, obviously.
June 16, 2013 at 6:51 pm |
Of course, there is a very tight limitation on the people who have read the Replicators page that you have put up, Bruce. Craig Binns has self-limited himself from viewing that site, and I would guess that ALL skeptopaths (by definition) have also self-limited themselves.
I honestly and sincerely with no intent to hurt anyone’s feelings think that skeptopathology is a slight but important mental illness, just like hoarding and anorexia. Never select a skeptopath to do any exploratory work for you.

Hi, Cheap Mortgage Life Insurance. I have an excellent marketing idea. What don’t you insure the lives of householders using the Rossi ecat against gamma ray overdoses. Believe me, you’ll never have to pay out a single penny! It’ll be a real gold mine!
June 16, 2013 at 12:01 pm |
Craig Binns, we agree about something. But what do we do about our consciences? I just rationalize that little problem away by saying to myself that if they are too stupid to believe Rossi when he says that there are no gamma rays then they deserve getting ripped off. But you rationalize that little problem away by saying to yourself that if they are so stupid as to believe that Rossi sold them a heater then they deserve getting ripped off. Of course, that is all nonsense. Unintelligent people can’t help being the way that they are.
June 16, 2013 at 5:36 pm |
No gamma rays = no fusion. Therefore all the “shielding” and “copper” resulting from “transmutation” of nickel are phoney. Unintelligent people can’t help being taken in by swindlers!
June 16, 2013 at 5:45 pm |
Golly, Craig, I never heard that before, and I didn’t know that that was your viewpoint. Thanks so much for telling me. (:->) [Sort of like people getting in your face and saying, "Have you heard about Jesus?"]
Did you hear the one about the scientists who tried to rape the Coulomb Barrier? They spent 68 years and got absolutely nowhere. But other scientists who tried to seduce the Coulomb Barrier got excess anomalous heat repeatedly. The joke will be on you, Craig I hope that you are young and will be alive when it becomes so obvious that even you can’t avoid it. You need the lesson in humility, badly.
