Collect the second version of the reactor. Few characteristics: two quartz tubes, one of them is fuel working, the other protective. I plan to put manometre up to 10 bar. The rest later, is just now a problem with the installation of a thermocouple inside.

If you can post the make and model of your components, that will be very helpful for readers.
Posting the sources helps too.
The very best thing is links, for pictures and prices and suppliers.
Looking forward to seeing more.

Features a small tube: quartz, external diameter - 6.1mm, 3.8mm internal diameter, length - 13.5mm
It features a large tube: quartz, external diameter - 10mm inner diameter - 7.6mm, length - 20mm.
Spiral - Nichrome, 100 turns, the thickness of 0.5mm, 6 ohms.
Fuel - 500 mg nickel, 35mg - LiAlH4.

The planned launch of the reactor for today is postponed for a few days, I want to wait for the delivery of a new thermostat with more advanced features.

Fuel - 500 mg nickel, 35mg - LiAlH4.Interesting that you chose to lower the ratio of LAH to nickel. I was expecting 50/500. You are going with 35/500.
Do you have a specific reason, or is this to explore a lower ratio - a hunch?

I decided to reduce the amount of LiAlH4 due to the smaller volume of the working tube. -
Today has received the ceramic tube reactor, startup replication Parkhomov plan on May 18, and tomorrow May 14 will launch the quartz tube.

Less than an hour I run the experiment, as well as control manually, the thermostat will insure in the event of a sharp rise in temperature.
Every hour will update photos from sensor readings. The experiment was designed to test hydrogen leak through the quartz

Hi @Denis Vasilenko!
Can you give a short conclusion of this test? I was busy while you conduted the test, so I missed all of it.Thank you for your hard work!
-
Conclusions after the experiments with quartz - quartz does not fit or use the tube with very thick walls. The entire reactor tube can be seen a large number of microcracks. Inside there is fragile white coating that is likely the result of reaction of the fuel with quartz. The spiral of nichrome covered with solid white microspots, pleasant to the touch, is likely the result of the reaction with hydrogen.
It was the last experiment with quartz, now has 20 of ceramic tubes brands С799. -
Running on new reactor materials will in the coming days, I'll let you know in advance of the launch.
-
The first reactor cell from the ceramic tube is ready, the fuel used by Parkhomov nickel.
A little technical data:
Ceramic tube
Size (DxdhL): 10x5x140 mm
a rod of circular cross section
Size (DhL): 5,0x40 mm
Material: alumina ceramic grade S799
Max. operating temperature of the material: 1600 ° CThe fuel composition
500 mg of nickel
50mg LiAlH4Heater
Cantal - 2m = 57 turns, 10.58 ohms, the diameter of 0.6mm.To seal the used refractory cement prescription Parkhomov.
Al2O3 powder ~ 2 μm particle size - 1.5 g
ZnO powder particle size unknown - 0.5 g
Na2SiO3 solution 37.5% - 2.9 mlThe cell is assembled as in the photo, the two sleeves are recessed into the tube to 5mm, 50mm cavity tube filled with fuel.
Complete sealing of the spiral should slightly increase the service life of Cantal.
Thermocouple not installed before the experiment will be collected second cell without fuel, temperature measurements which are held inside and outside, and the findings make the necessary calibration for the working cell. Measurements of the temperature will produce a thermocouple attached to the surface of the reactor.The launch is scheduled for today, but the date may be pushed to the next day. A few hours before I Stream, notified separately.

Hi Firax I have a patent pending on some novel nickel-proton and palladium-Deuterium LENR reactors. I'm looking for R&D partners who can test my reactor designs. i have reactor designs and conditions that will solve catalyst sintering problems and other problems commonly found in current reactors. I will share patent royalties on products developed with my technology. Please contact me at

Neil Farbstein: You already said this last time directly to Denis and to others many times. I think you have to show working reactor first.
-
Thanks for the technical data, this is good, particularly for all replications and future replicators.
I notice that the Parkhomov cement formulation has a substantial proportion of zinc oxide (ZnO) powder.
I see the Merck Index indicates that ZnO sublimes.
This might have a couple of consequences:
1. Once brought to operating temperatures the ZnO vapor may migrate into the reactor core, since sublimation can drive ZnO vapor in any direction. This could be a possible variable that should be accounted for by further replicators who might, for example, use a commercial cement of a different composition.
2. ZnO sublimation may lead to a thinning or weakening of the refractory cement. [But, hopefully it forms some sort of ceramic
alloy with the aluminum oxide and water glass, contributing to the strength of the heated cement.]Best of luck.

I would like to apologize for the delay in the launch. I had to go to the other end of the city for a second power meter. On the road, I thought how very clearly identify any excess heat. Now I will collect a second reactor, but without fuel, I connect it to the working reactor in series, and will monitor the temperature of the two cells at the same time.
I think for me and for you the best starting time will be tomorrow morning, undue haste could damage the experiment. -
I like the idea of a second reactor.
You may want to keep it away or put an insulation between the two, so that the active reactor will not heat the control reactor and make the difference in temperatures less.
Try also to make the seal perfect -
Note the doubled twisted leads.
This may help you.
Rossi does this to exposed heater wire. Actual heater coil is *not* doubled.
-
Less than an hour I start the stream. Schedule heating reactor add later.
