Abstract
Quote"This report describes the experimental replication of the significant abnormal exothermic phenomenon observed with the Rossi E-CAT apparatus."
Conclusion
QuoteAn abnormal exothermic phenomenon was observed between nickel and lithium aluminum hydride fuel. The exothermic reaction lasted for 150 minutes. The temperature measured by the thermocouple at the outer wall of the reaction vessel was maintained 40-50 °C higher than the temperature of the thermocouple is installed between the reaction vessel and the furnace tube. This temperature rise is estimated to correspond to 100 watts of excess heat produced within the reaction vessel. An excess heat of 100 watts with an input power 682 watts is a ratio of 0.14 [and a COP of 1.14]. Multiplying the 150 minute duration by the ~100 watts of excess heat, the excess energy is calculated to be approximately 0.9 MJ. The maximum possible energy yield of the chemical reaction to 36 kJ; thus, the excess energy measured in this experiment exceeds the possible chemical energy by a factor of 25. Follow-up experiments will continue to attempt to improve the excess heat output. Acknowledgements: This work was supported by the China Institute of Atomic Energy. The author is grateful for guidance by his teacher, Song Jiang! Postscriptum: The author supplied the following image of the hot reaction vessel being extracted from the tube furnace during an experiment. The image elucidates well the assembly and thermocouple placement.
Update
Unfortunately a part of getting a paper out quickly. The author of this paper, upon review from his mentor, asked for a change in the acknowledgements at the end. I have made the changes in the enclosed version.
