24 Godes : Brillouin Energy Test Results of CECR Hypothesis
I hope they have something in the range of Rossi.
Their WET reactor was presented at ICCF17 with a COP of 2 (by Tanzella of SRI).
I imagine it is better.
They claimed 100x target, but 6x would be a revolution.
Yes, they claim but never showed something working or evidence.

100x is N´not worth commenting, probably a miss from Sterling Allan.
Today I got this picture from Robert Godes ! He has just checked into the ICCF.
I have seen the posters in Padua, and the one of Robert Godes is still not placed.
Hope we see more tomorrow
I'm pretty sure that the 100 COP was from a youtube interview with Godes or another Brillouin person who made the claim, saying that they were going to feed it into a steam engine. It was strange in that they didn't focus on it much, instead talking mostly about the COP 2/3 reactor.
The title of the paper sounds more like an experimental verification of their theory than reports on a new reactor. I guess we'll see.

Update from Robert Godes about what we see
QuoteThat is a 3rd generation Brillouin Energy HHT reactor system.... we are now on gen 4. The Nickel rod fits inside the tube that goes all the way through the vessel with the bolted ring. We flow inert gas through the largest tube with the bolted ring and fill the second tube with H2 gas. We then pass high current pulses through the Ni rod. This system has produced 4X more thermal energy out than Q -pulse energy deposited in the core. We have performed this with the same core in both our lab in Berkeley, CA and at SRI.

Thanks to you and Alain for reporting on this.
Is there any information about power density or temperatures from this thing? My general recollection was that the 2012 iteration was relatively low temperature.
Thanks!
Here, btw, is Godes of Brillouin claiming COP of 100 from the HHT (at around 1:07). It sounds like he was talking more aspirationally.
I have talk with Robert Godes about his poster, and more.
His poster is more about evidence of CECR theory, like good triggering by the Q-wave, detection of tritium...
The HHT, his gas-loaded NiH cell, have a COP of 10.
In the poster the curve of temperature, vs power and Q-wave activaion show rather a COP of 6.
I will ge the slides soon, but this curve just show that when you shut off the q-wave activation (few % of power out), immédiately the PID controller compensate the lossof excess heat by 6x more power to maintaine the same temperature... Robert Godes rather talk of a COP of 4, for some obscure reason.... he should be right of course!
The WET cell, with water have a COP of 2x and cannot go above 150C as I have understood...
Robert Godes is putting the emphasis on the total control he have of the reaction. no heat after death, no meltdown. as soon as he stop the Q-wave the reaction stops.
It is a great advantage compared to E-cat and his SSM.
Thanks so much for getting this info.
I could not (yet?) get the slides but I got the most interesting curve
The COP6 is an error indeed, because I misread the curve.
There are two vertical axis and one does not start at zero
as he write the COP is 4 if you dount only the Q pulse energy and assume that n heating is required because you insulate enough the reactor.
Robert Godes claim now it goes to 10...
So if I'm understanding you right, the COP is based on only counting the q-pulse and not the heating element? This seems much less compelling, as do the low power levels.
if the system is easily controllable, you can easily control the cooling flow and the insulation so that the reactor stay at the good temperature just with the Q pulse, all the time. that is engineering.
now he claims COP10, and this may simply mean that he optimized the generator of pulse, and the efficiency of the pulse by factor 2.5
Brillouin ICCF19 PowerPoint Technical April 2015
I updated my information on Brillouin reacto ( relayed by participants).
Current technology target a pressure of 400C, but with a stirling engine a CHP could provide electricity at good price, and heat at very good price...
They feel they are not far from the market (<2years).
Maybe Brillouin will realise the dream of hme E-cat after all.
The great advantage of Brillouin reactor is that it is totally controlled.
Just cut the Q-wave and it cool down. you don't have to warm it once it is hot enough, because you can without any fear warm it with LENR until the target temperature is reached, without any fear of meltdown.
Was there any more clarification about COP or power density?
I think that in their interview a few years back they were talking about taking over an abandoned asset coal plant (one that cannot operate because of pollution regulation but still has boilers and grid connection) and retrofitting it with LENR equipment.
As much as we would all love home generators and disconnect from our utilities, I think that we're looking at at least 10 years of these things being used in commercial power generation or industrial plants before we start seeing home products. The level of reliability and safety you need for home use is so much higher. Both because you don't have a technician managing it and because if you have a hundred or a thousand boilers you can afford to have individual boilers fail much more often.
About power density, it is not huge(I did not took notes), and COP test was at 4, while Robert Godes talk of 10 with latest generation. It is enough for electricity generation.
What you says is right.
Retrofitting coal factories was their initial plan. MAybe is it continuing, and CHP is just another project.
About time to qualify as home device, (maybe is it not for home but for industral CHP?), it will be faster than 10 years, but it will take years I'm afraid.
