by Steven B. Krivit/ New Energy Times: National Instruments, a major U.S.
company that produces tools for engineers and scientists, sponsored a
demonstration of a nickel-hydrogen gas low-energy nuclear reaction
reactor on Monday at its annual NI Week trade show at the Austin
Convention Center in Texas. National Instruments is also sponsoring talks there on LENR research.
According to a source at the show who spoke with James Truchard,
co-founder, president and chief executive officer of National
Instruments, Truchard is very interested in LENR research.
New Energy Times spoke with Julia Britts, media relations
manager for National Instruments, on Monday to get more information
about Truchard’s interest in LENR, but neither got back to New Energy Times before we went to press.*
A Hot Demo
Francesco Celani, a physicist with the Italian National Institute of
Nuclear Physics in Frascati, Italy, brought a LENR device he developed
that uses hydrogen gas and a specially treated nickel wire. The concept
was pioneered by another Italian, Francesco Piantelli, in the 1990s.
Celani’s demonstration shows that the nickel-hydrogen gas system is
robust and predicable and that it demonstrates the leading edge of LENR
research. New Energy Times first reported Piantelli’s nickel-hydrogen gas LENR research in 2008.
