; ; ; ;Agelao, G.; Dipartimento di Ingegneria Nucleare, Universita ' di Palermo ;Romano, M. C.; Dipartimento di Ingegneria Nucleare, Universita ' di Palermo ;Italiano, F.; Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, Sezione Palermo, Palermo, Italia; ; In this research, thexffect of the shape of hydrogenloaded palladium elements on exothennic reactions between gases is shown. It was found that an element with parts of its sulface next to each other spontaneously triggers reactions, whereas an element whose su$aces are not next to each other needs outside triggering. The heat developed makes the temperature of the elements rise even by a few hundredths of a degree centigrade. Through photographic techniques, it was shown that the elements, when releasing heat, emit radiation connected to nuclearfusion reactions. These reactions, confirmed also by the analysis of the used hydrogen, showed helium formation. All these tests have confirmed the reproducibility of the phenomenon.137 221
