Tests reveal an anomalous resistivity effect in high D/Pd loading of palladium wires, suggesting new insights for electrolysis.
Several tests has been performed trying to over-load (D/Pd> 0.8) a Pd wire with Deuterium by mean of electrolytic procedures. A proper elicoidal electrodes geometry has been adopted to provide opportune electric fields during the electrolysis and several picks up has been located along the wires to obtain a profile of wire Deuterium concentration by mean the resistivity.Tests operated with high electric current (up to 1 A) flowing along the wire and low electrolytic voltage showed a D/Pd loading of 0.75 at maximum. Tests operated with high voltage (from 50 to 100 V) have showed in some cases an overcoming of D/Pd= 0.95. In these cases an anomalous effect of cyclical loading/deloading has been newly observed by this group. No average anomalous heat in excess (more than 15%) has been observed during these tests.
