Title of paper: “Possibility of LENR Occurring in Electric Arc-Plasma: Preliminary Investigation of Anomalous Heat Generation during Underwater Arcing using Carbon Electrodes” presented at the International Conference on Inter Disciplinary Research in Engineering and Technology in New Delhi, Feb 2016

From the paper’s abstract:

Energy balance calculations, indicate a marginal excess energy of up to 50 % with MS electrodes while with carbon electrodes output to input energy ratios are found to be as high as a factor of eight indicating excess heat up to 700%.We think that the anomalous excess energy could be due to some type of Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR) but the nature of these reactions have not been studied by us so far.
