Catalytic fusion system 'operates indefinitely without external power'

Nowadays, many companies are claiming that they have achieved success in fusion-related processes. A Gibraltar-based company specializing in catalytic fusion is claimed to be a new entrant in this field.

ENG8, which is developing a range of catalytic fusion reactors called EnergiCells, has reportedly achieved a world-first milestone.

Their system, based on Low Energy Nuclear Reaction (LENR) technology, is said to be able to operate indefinitely without any external input energy.

The self-power system will also be able to export net electricity, according to the company. This is claimed to be a world-first milestone for catalytic fusion.

The device can operate indefinitely without any external input power

Independent validation confirmed the company's claim of achieving a device capable of indefinite operation without external power.

“We can consider that the device can operate indefinitely without any external input power,” said Dr. Jean-Paul Biberian, a LENR expert commissioned by an investor to conduct technical due diligence on an EnergiCell.

“While hot fusion struggles to produce net energy, catalytic fusion technology is miles ahead, and provides a viable source of zero-emission, affordable energy to power the global economy,” said Valeria Tutina, CEO of ENG8.

Tutina highlighted that the technology is mass-producible, so everyone on the planet could have access to their own independent energy source.

He added that ENG8 has already garnered interest from several industrial customers with power requirements ranging from 3 MW to 8 GW, demonstrating confidence in the technology.

Energy cells fuse hydrogen nuclei to produce photons

The company maintains that EnergiCells fuse hydrogen nuclei to produce photons, or light, and directly generate electrons, or electricity. They are currently generating electricity at the milliwatt to tens of kilowatt scale.

This power output is suitable for a variety of applications, from small devices like phones and laptops to home appliances and finally homes, cars and factories, the company said in a press release.

“If I were to bet which LENR companies would be first to market, ENG8 would be in the top two,” said Alan Smith, CEO of the International Society for Condensed Matter Nuclear Science (ISCMNS).

The company also claims that previous independent validations, carried out by IEP (Portugal) and other renowned laboratories, have also proven that EnergiCells produce net energy with safe levels of emissions that are well within EU limits.

EnergiCells have two main components

EnergiCells have two main components. The first is the EnergiCell, where LENR reactions release energy. The second is the system that EnergiCell supports. Both components are mass-producible.

The company claims that the capital cost of the technology is 1/3 that of wind and solar, yet it will be able to operate 24/7. Operating costs are claimed to be similar to a hydrocarbon generator set minus fuel costs.

The fuel source is water molecules, with ionized H2O molecules providing the hydrogen ions needed for catalytic fusion.

A primary energy release mechanism is a catalytic fusion process in which protons and neutrons fuse in the atomic nucleus. According to ENG8, energy is released in the form of electricity and heat and, with change, can produce chemical energy in the form of hydrogen and oxygen.

The company also says that by using its proprietary intellectual property, including patents and patent applications, the amount of energy emitted is significantly higher than that used to form plasma.

“Our self-powered EnergiCells have the potential to decentralize energy production, decarbonize the economy and lower energy prices. It's not just a product; This is a transformative shift towards a cleaner, more sustainable energy landscape and a fairer world,” the company said.

Although independent experts have verified ENG's claims, some experts are still skeptical about the actual effectiveness of the company's technology.
