Robert V Duncan at TTU: 5Mn$ for hydride research in "Seashore research LLC"

For $200,000 you can almost mass produce 10000 Peltier calorimeters

"Anyway, if my name is Bill and I, after a successfull co-operation with brilliant Italian researchers and lots of NDAs, sniff a hint of success, I don't:

- close the company,

- trash all laboratory hardware to TTU mob,

- park at UOP my 200.000$/year imported and gifted laboratory director preparing previous data for publication. "

My statement : "park at UOP my 200.000$/year imported and gifted laboratory director preparing previous data for publication" is WRONG and indeed the 200.000$/year VISA is for another worker and the new UOP stand of the gifted scientist is a new, apparently uncorrelated job. See A + B.

A)

In 2012 I was hired by 3M in the capacity of Senior Chemist in their Fuel Cell program. Remarkably, I got awarded a USCIS O-1 visa for Individuals with Extraordinary Ability or Achievement. In 2013 I received U.S. Permanent Residency, eliminating the need for a work visa sponsorship. My 3 years at 3M were highlighted by several major scientific achievements in their Nanostructured Thin Film (NSTF) catalyst platform.

Advanced R&D Engineer / Scientist

Honeywell UOP Des Plaines, IL

Passionate Electrocatalyst researcher

But we have Lubbock, Texas Tech, Bill [as private sponsor, see wikileaks] related quotes, too:

Senior Research Associate

Texas Tech University Lubbock, Texas Area

Continuation of research initiated at Concentric Advisors Texas.

Prepare previous data for publication, and design validation experiments to probe scientific claims in literature

and

Lead Laboratory Research Scientist

Concentric Advisors Lubbock, Texas Area

• Purpose-built elite laboratory for the research and development of technologies within Condensed Matter Physics with 10 scientific employees; Private Sponsor has chosen to remain anonymous and has precluded (thus far) public announcement of the effort but certain publications and Patents are currently being pursued in conjunction with the University

• Lead research in energy sources and conversion

• Act as a mentor, teacher and motivator for 2 direct reports, and serve as coordinator and guiding hand to 4 other researchers

• In charge of the design of materials solutions, leader in materials analysis, directing the use of appropriate physical and chemical analytical tools

• Performed as a driving force towards novel concepts and experimental directions

• Studied electrolysis side reactions and energetics of hydrogen storage

• Created streamlined and accurate data analysis of extensive datasets, as well as clear and concise reporting of the results

• Succeeded in developing state-of-the-art calorimetry applicable to electrochemical reactions in milli Joule resolution

Maybe there is a similar fungus which will eat the COVID virus?

Such a fungus, at the present, is a precise geo-political question. Epidemic is a rearrangement tool, and much other.

Quote from RobertBryant

For $200,000 you can almost mass produce $10000 Peltier calorimeters

This one is a whole lot cheaper per unit. It does not require a constant temperature background, making it even cheaper. If you needed hundreds of calorimeters for some commercial or experimental purpose, or to sell, this might be a good choice. Bob Duncan has extensive experience designing calorimeters.

This seems to be simple and reliable. Peltier calorimeters can be a pain in the butt.

I was startled not to see any capacitors in their Spice model. Surely heat is stored somewhere, even for a little while.
(or did I miss them in the low-res pix)

... "or did I miss them in the low-res pix."

I thought not. And then (eg Fig 7) .. they apply a step-function input .. with no RC rise-time.

OK

I had thought from the little evidence we had, that Robert Duncan's Texas Tech University, Bill Gates funded LENR research project (Seashore Research, LLC), had been unsuccessful and shut down. In this ICCF24 panel discussion hosted by Matt Trevithick, at 33:50 Robert Duncan talks briefly of his own experiments. In listening it does appear he is still in the game, but says: "that experiment has not reproduced". Good news. Please though don't limit yourself to just that small segment. Watch the whole video as Nagel, Schenkel, and Matt also have some good things to say:
