Bob Greenyer

Bob Greenyer is a British engineer, independent researcher, experimental investigator, and open-science advocate whose work spans Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR), condensed-matter nuclear science, plasmoids and ball-lightning phenomena, Exotic Vacuum Objects (EVOs), magnetohydrodynamics, materials analysis, and unconventional approaches to energy and propulsion.

Greenyer holds a Bachelor of Engineering in Manufacturing Engineering from Brunel University in London. Before committing himself extensively to experimental energy research, his career crossed a diverse range of industries, including pharmaceuticals, advertising, finance, digital media, animation, visualization, and software-related development.

That combination of engineering, visualization, and technical communication has become an important part of his later research. Much of his work involves bringing together experimental observations from different disciplines and developing visual frameworks for examining complex physical phenomena.

Martin Fleischmann Memorial Project & Live Open Science

In 2012, Greenyer co-founded the Martin Fleischmann Memorial Project (MFMP), an international volunteer research initiative created to investigate claims associated with Low Energy Nuclear Reactions and condensed-matter nuclear science. He subsequently became one of the project’s principal coordinators and most visible researchers.

A defining feature of MFMP has been its commitment to what Greenyer describes as Live Open Science: experiments, procedures, instrumentation, data, successes, failures, photographs, microscopy, and analysis are shared publicly so that independent researchers can scrutinize and attempt to reproduce the work.

Rather than treating experimental information as proprietary, MFMP has sought to create an accessible record of experimental investigation and encourage collaboration among researchers around the world.

LENR Research & Experimental Replication

Through MFMP, Greenyer has participated in or documented replication efforts involving a broad range of LENR systems, including Francesco Celani’s treated constantan-wire experiments, nickel-hydrogen systems, Alexander Parkhomov-inspired reactors, Mizuno-type nickel/deuterium systems, cavitation experiments, discharge systems, and other claimed anomalous-energy devices.

His work has taken him into laboratories and collaborations with researchers in Europe, North America, Russia, Japan, and Asia, providing him with an unusually broad perspective on the experimental approaches pursued within the international LENR research community.

One of MFMP’s early experimental programs resulted in Greenyer co-authoring “Celani’s Wire Excess Heat Effect Replication” with Mathieu Valat and Ryan Hunt, published in the Journal of Condensed Matter Nuclear Science. The paper documented MFMP’s attempt to reproduce Francesco Celani’s anomalous-heat experiments and exemplified the project’s emphasis on documenting apparatus, calibration, materials, calorimetry, and experimental results for outside scrutiny.

Materials Forensics & Experimental Analysis

Over time, Greenyer’s attention expanded from calorimetry toward materials forensics—examining what experimental systems leave behind.

He has made extensive use of optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) while comparing surface structures, microspheres, tracks, cavities, elemental distributions, and other features reported in experimental samples.

This approach emphasizes identifying recurring physical signatures across different experiments rather than focusing exclusively on measurements of excess heat.

Exotic Vacuum Objects, Plasmoids & Charge Clusters

Greenyer’s materials research led him increasingly toward the study of charge clusters, plasmoids, ball lightning, and Exotic Vacuum Objects (EVOs), particularly the experimental legacy of American inventor and researcher Ken Shoulders.

Shoulders used the term Exotic Vacuum Object to describe compact, self-organizing structures associated with concentrated electrical charge that he reported producing experimentally.

Greenyer has spent years collecting, digitizing, comparing, and presenting historical experimental material related to Shoulders and other researchers who reported unusual self-organizing plasma or charge structures.

A major focus of Greenyer’s work is investigating whether microscopic tracks, craters, deposits, spherical structures, and other material effects reported in different experimental systems might share related underlying mechanisms.

Takaaki Matsumoto Research & Archive Preservation

Greenyer has also undertaken an extensive investigation of the work of the late Japanese physicist Dr. Takaaki Matsumoto, who reported unusual microscopic structures and material effects associated with experiments involving electrical discharge, electrolysis, and nuclear materials.

Greenyer has worked to preserve, digitize, restore, and republish portions of Matsumoto’s difficult-to-obtain research archive, including his book Steps to the Discovery of Electro-Nuclear Collapse.

The project reflects another major aspect of Greenyer’s work: recovering historical experimental observations that might otherwise disappear and making them available to a new generation of researchers.

He has compared Matsumoto’s reported structures with observations from LENR experiments, charge-cluster research, ball-lightning studies, and other experimental systems in an effort to identify potentially recurring patterns.

Fractal Toroidal Moment Research

A central theme of Greenyer’s recent work is what he calls the Fractal Toroidal Moment (FTM).

Greenyer proposes that apparently different observations in LENR experiments, plasmoid research, cavitation, electrical discharge, materials damage, and other anomalous experimental systems may involve recurring toroidal and self-similar electromagnetic structures.

His approach draws connections among conventional research on toroidal electromagnetic moments, magnetohydrodynamics, vortical plasma structures, solitons and anapoles, together with observations reported in more controversial areas of experimental energy research.

Greenyer has presented aspects of this hypothesis at conferences including the International Conference on Condensed Matter Nuclear Science (ICCF) and APEC.

The Fractal Toroidal Moment should be understood as Greenyer’s developing research hypothesis and synthesis rather than an established physical theory. A significant part of his ongoing work involves comparing its proposed structures with historical experiments, microscopy, plasma behavior, electromagnetic phenomena, and published research.

O-Animator & Electrodynamics Visualization

Greenyer has extended this research into O-Animator, a visualization and simulation environment designed to explore electromagnetic, particle, toroidal, and nested self-similar structures.

The project represents an unusual convergence of his earlier professional experience in animation and visualization with more than a decade of experimental research.

Greenyer describes O-Animator as a tool for exploring the behavior and interactions predicted by his Fractal Toroidal Moment model and for visually comparing those behaviors with structures observed in experimental systems.

Visualization has become an increasingly important component of his research methodology, allowing complex three-dimensional and dynamic relationships to be explored in ways that are difficult to communicate through equations, photographs, or static diagrams alone.

Research Focus & Advanced Propulsion

Greenyer’s broader research interests include cavitation, coherent matter, anomalous material tracks, reported nuclear transmutation, self-organizing plasma structures, ball lightning, charge clusters, toroidal electromagnetic configurations, and unconventional propulsion concepts.

He is particularly interested in identifying common physical mechanisms that might connect phenomena historically studied as separate subjects.

For the advanced-propulsion community, his research explores whether the organization and manipulation of electromagnetic, plasma, and coherent structures observed in these experimental systems could provide insights relevant to novel energy-transfer or propulsion mechanisms.

These possibilities remain exploratory, but the search for experimentally testable connections between these fields has become an important theme of Greenyer’s APEC presentations.

Publications, Conferences & Presentations

Greenyer has presented his research internationally through the International Conference on Condensed Matter Nuclear Science (ICCF), the Alternative Propulsion Engineering Conference (APEC), TeslaTech, independent research conferences, livestreams, interviews, and hundreds of hours of publicly accessible presentations and experimental discussions.

His presentations have covered subjects ranging from LENR replication and experimental materials analysis to EVOs, ball lightning, coherent matter, anomalous structures, the Fractal Toroidal Moment, and possible implications for advanced energy and propulsion research.

His publication record includes collaborative experimental work arising from the Martin Fleischmann Memorial Project as well as later research and conference presentations examining anomalous nuclear and materials phenomena.

Remote View & Public Research Archive

Greenyer publishes Remote View, a long-form research, technology, philosophy, and commentary publication through which he documents current investigations, historical source material, experimental observations, simulations, conference presentations, and evolving hypotheses.

Remote View has become an important public archive for his more recent work, including his investigations of EVOs, Matsumoto’s research, the Fractal Toroidal Moment, LENR systems, unusual material structures, and O-Animator.

Alongside the extensive MFMP video archive, it provides a continuing record of the development of his ideas and the experimental evidence that he considers relevant to them.

Open Science & Cross-Disciplinary Research

Across more than a decade of full-time volunteer and independent research, Greenyer’s principal contribution has been an unusually broad program of open experimental investigation, documentation, preservation, visualization, and cross-disciplinary synthesis.

His work frequently operates at the boundary between established physics and controversial experimental claims. Rather than treating every reported anomaly as established fact, the most useful way to understand his research is as an effort to collect observations, preserve experimental evidence, identify recurring patterns, propose potential connections, and make the underlying material available for independent evaluation.

At APEC, Greenyer’s work is particularly relevant to researchers interested in the possible intersection of EVOs and charge clusters, plasmoid physics, LENR, magnetohydrodynamics, coherent matter, toroidal electromagnetic structures, anomalous materials effects, and advanced propulsion concepts.
