"Parkhomov like" experimentation at Open Power Lab has been started today!

All the best !

That will be interesting!

@Ugo Abundo: are you going to use a prepared Fe2O3:K catalyst or simply using its elements in the powder charge?

to Tarun and Artefact: many thanks

to Ecco: both of them

It looks like a very professional set-up and methodology. I wish you very much success and hope that the replication of the New Fire will burn in full brightness!

Looks like a great setup with good potential.

Is the Boron Nitride new or has it also been used in previous experiments?

Best of luck with the tests.

It makes me very happy to see more live open science on the NiH LENR system. The quality of measurements and lessons learned over time seams to be incorporated in this new round of experiments - yey !

Good luck Ugo et al!

Stephen, I understand you are asking about this sentence:
"Safety measures include shielding against eventual alfa, beta, x, gamma and neutron emissions, as well as internal coatings of reactor surfaces by Boron Nitride layers, to protect it against corrosion."

I can not answer, hope Ugo et al will, but I find it interesting that in Rossi patent WO-2009-125444 from 15 oct 2009 at page 6: "In particular, the inventive apparatus is coated by boron layers and lead plates both for restraining noxious radiations and transforming them into energy, without generating residue radiations and radioactive materials."

I also note that Rossi in this patent show his respect for both Focardi and Piantelli: "The most intelligent work performed in the fusion field, which work has been accurately studied by the present inventor for practicing his invention, is a study of prof. Sergio Focardi and Prof. Francesco Piantelli", followed by references to 6 documents written by them.

Regarding:

Quote

Holmlid’s ultradense hydrogen behavior will be tested, in the presence of dehydrogenation catalysts as Ni/Fe or Fe2O3.doped by K and Li.

Be advised that Holmlid coats this iron catalyst with graphite to support rydberg matter desorption.

@ Stephen C : Boron Nitride coating was firstly suggested by Bob Greenyer (MFMP) against corrosion by lithium.
@ Mats 002 : the boron nitride is an internal coating against corrosion;
in Rossi's apparatus, the external succession of boron and lead evidently means an hypothesized flux of neutrons (or quasi-neutrons) that will be absorbed by boron, with emission of gamma rays intercepted by lead.
We adopt such a double shield too.
By our Atomtex 6102 neutron detector, neutron presence will be evaluated, and related to the possible models for the process.
@ Axil : thank you.

Thanks.

Please read the 0018 report http://www.hydrobetatron.org/f…aon-rev1_Def_1c5c7l1q.pdf (actually in italian language for a quick communication) regarding the strategy of experimentation planning. We hope to translate the text in the next days, but accept any help from the friends of LENR-forum.

Thanks.

Ugo, Congratulations on what looks to be a fantastic experiment setup, and I wish you all the best of luck with your progress!

Thank you very much for the considerable extent of documentation, including so many photos and videos. I find them very interesting.
However, I still am having much trouble understanding various details of the apparatus design. A simple schematic diagram showing the relations between apparatus elements would go a long way in helping people to interpret this experiment. I suspect that the video explanations offer much of this information, but unfortunately I cannot understand the audio.

I think a hand-drawn diagram, perhaps using pencil and paper and then photographed, would be a quick way to add significant information.
Since I am planning what I think is a similar heat-exchange process as you appear to be using, I would also be interested in learning more about your design process for that subsystem. Was the system heat-exchange capacity and performance determined entirely empirically, or did you find adequate performance documentation for the components in order to design your system for a particular operational specification?

Best wishes to you and the Open Power Lab!

Please note, for what it may be worth: http://www.atomtex.com/sites/default/files/at6102at6102a.pdf

The Atomtex will likely have a difficult time detecting ULM neutrons, with velocities of up to 7 m/sec and effective environmental equilibrium temperatures near absolute zero. Why is this important?

Without approval or advocacy, I ask that we recall W-L-S theory [and there are others] that expect very low velocity neutrons in LENR. These can be analytically (quantified as to number and perhaps energy) detected only if they can escape their immediate likely targets and be impelled to a target such as boronated mylar which can then generate secondary detectable radiations by decay. It is a soluble problem, but not without addressing the possibility of very low velocity and very short free paths within, or on, an LENR substrate.

Probably the experiment has already started. Is there any live data or periodic updates ? (E.g. on Google spreadsheet etc)

@ Bobeson The Watlow heater has its own specifications on https://www.watlow.com/product…ceramic-fiber-heaters.cfm
As regarding the heat losses, an experimental campaign was previously carried out.
As suggested by Bobeson, a diagram is attached about the system overall view.
@ Long view: we agree, and are working also in this direction.

Thanks.

I hope the previously attached Set up file may be useful.

Thank you, Ugo! That drawing is very helpful.
I'm looking forward to hearing about your results, and wish you the best of luck!
