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.
