VDMH-1 (Vulpine Dynamics Meta-Hydride, rev-1) is “a Pd-Ni architecture optimized for ultra-high deuterium loading, electron/lattice screening, and phonon mode-shaping to raise tunneling probability at nanoscale sites.” It supports “repeatable lattice-confinement cold fusion at modest temperatures.”
“Under controlled bias (150–300 °C; low-THz/MHz ultrasonic driving), VDMH-1 produces reproducible excess heat with low particle flux.” IO Fox engineered it at the University of Talaris after he was “not selected in the H-1B lottery.” With it, Talaris “becomes the first city on Earth effectively running on cold fusion.”
IO’s team logged long-duration runs alongside detailed measurements of how the materials held up. Vulpine holds the patents, export of the design is controlled under Talaris’s security arrangement with the United States, and no one outside Vulpine has reproduced it.
Foxite is VDMH-1’s long-duty-cycle byproduct. PWRCORE-1 is the only VDMH-1 reactor in service.
