Welcome to the open-source LENR reactor project—a public effort to explore the possibility of designing and developing an intrinsically safe Low Energy Sonoluminescence Reactor with no radioactive materials involved.

This project provides a starting point for researchers and engineers interested in low energy nuclear reactions (LENR), sonoluminescence, and cavitation-based energy systems.

This repository contains (or will eventually contain):

• 3D CAD Models – A spherical reactor core design with hemispherical aluminum horns and water chamber.
• Materials & Colloid Recipes – Starting concentrations for nickel powder, neutron moderators, and optional gain media.
• Bill of Materials (BOM) – Components for building your own test reactor.
• FEA Simulations – Helmholtz equation acoustic modeling using Elmer FEM to analyze pressure wave behavior in the reactor cavity.
• Python Utilities – Scripts for basic simulation, data logging, and future control loop automation.
• Sensor Placement and Strategy – Photodiode-based Bremsstrahlung detection setup and flow diagram.
• Experimental Protocols – Concepts for safe and reproducible LENR experimentation.

• Build a low-cost, modular sonoluminescence reactor that supports LENR experimentation.
• Enable community collaboration with open-source hardware and software.
• Establish prior art and reproducibility benchmarks for LENR systems.
• Provide a data-driven experimental framework focused on detecting anomalous heating, not rare nuclear events.
