LOW VOLTAGE NUCLEAR TRANSMUTATION WORK IN PROGRESS (Completion expected by June 2004 if sponsor is found) by KEN SHOULDERS Bodega, California
--- Page 2 ---
PROJECT GOALS 1. TO SHOW NUCLEAR TRANSMUTATION USING EVs OPERATING AT LOW VOLTAGE 2. TO PRESENT DATA IN MASS SPECTROMETRIC FORM 3. TO DEFINE THE TRANSMUTATION PATHWAY 4. TO PROVIDE A VERY LOW-COST MASS SPECTROMETER DESIGN FOR EASY CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION BY ANYONE HAVING INTERMEDIATE SKILLS
--- Page 3 ---
DEMONSTRATION METHOD IN BRIEF 1. A sample of chosen material, such as, aluminum oxide, is placed in a miniature reactor vessel that can be periodically accessed by an ion trap type of mass spectrometer. 2. The material is reacted with EVs generated by a spark process allowing long, EV boring type runs through the material. 3. After a few seconds of reaction time, the material is sampled by the mass spectrometer. This sampling process requires only a fraction of a second and then the sample record is stored for later reference. 4. The reaction is continued for several minutes with periodic sampling to determine accumulated changes occurring in the mass spectrum as indicated by isotope shift. 5. When a comparison with the previous samples shows that isotopes are being shifted or translated, the spectrometer is adjusted to follow chosen peaks more closely. 6. When the reaction is terminated after a few minutes, the operator can open the reactor chamber and remove the newly translated material for further analysis on a different type of instrument.

REACTOR TYPES METAL “BLACKS” Metal blacks are “splattered” or sputtered into the volume of the reactor giving a highly interactive path for EVs. These materials are similar to almost all successful cold fusion surfaces or EV targets (see “EVs in Cold Fusion” by Ken Shoulders). Although the EV interaction is initially high, the blacks are soon consolidated into surface films consisting of islands like those shown in the SEM photos below. This resultant film has low EV interaction efficiency and is equivalent to a bulk metal. POWDER BORING Various compounds in the reactor, in dispersed form and usually semiconductor compounds or metal oxides, can be bored by EVs with high efficiency (see “Charge Clusters in Action” by Ken Shoulders). These materials are good candidates for nuclear transmutation studies although they give results that are more difficult to interpret than simple metals due to the higher nuclear complexity of the starting material.

WHAT IS THIS MESS! Titanium ions from EV source striking exit inside of trap yield a form of SIMS. To remove effect: Make exit aperture of trap larger than entry aperture. Data recorded on Tektronix 7854 Storage Scope No He gas “cooling”

FINDING WHAT’S NEW 1. Three overlapping spectra of Titanium isotopes, shot into a target from an EV gun at time intervals of about 1 minute, produce distinctly different patterns due to the different abundance of isotopes on the target. 2. The data is collected as X-Y data using a Velleman PCS 500 digital oscilloscope. 3. The data is then processed by Excel to produce this chart. 4. Differences between the traces can be determined by using the math capability of Excel. 20 30 40 50 60 NOMINAL MASS NUMBER Titanium (mass 48 peak)
