This is quite experimental.

Yesterday a formative group in the SF Bay area met and heard presentations
by Jeff Morriss on his Parkhomov/Celani-type experiments and results;
Robert Ellefson on his Experimental design in progress, and Gene Thiers on
his experiences at SRI and measurement/ instrumentation for Cold Fusion
experiments during the early days of LENR of Pd-D.

To cut to the chase, since Bob is not yet collecting data - Jeff Morriss
(Intel) has put together a very capable system but has not yet seen thermal
gain. He is of the opinion that Parkhomov (assuming that he did see the
reported gain) got lucky with surface chemistry - which unfortunately he
(Parkhomov) has been unable to duplicate. Jeff intends to embark on an
Edisonian approach, now that he is completely confident in his calorimeter.
That would include altering surface chemistry of the nickel powders.

Jeff Morriss is in a perfect position to make a breakthrough, since like
Edison he has already tried many things which do not work and has complete
confidence in his system. His approach is strong on computerized control and
diagnostics, as would be expected from an Intel alum. A number of these
potential options - moving forward - were talked about at the presentation.

Gene Thiers strongly recommended adding a percentage of palladium and
deuterium to ANY EXPERIMENT, simply because it is known to work. IOW - even
if you are basically trying to find gain from Ni-H, using a Parkhomov
influenced design, Gene's advice is to add a percentage of palladium and
deuterium to the fuel mix, since. (this is one interpretation) having any
positive gain at all could have a quantum probability enhancement to the
bulk of the experiment.
