Alan Smith you need add logging of experimenters' physio data to exclude paranormal aspect. JH was implying,for instance, he was a part of the reactor;)

I don't know if it is a practical suggestion, but if there appears to be something worth pursuing in these tests, would placing the diamond disks in frozen D2O encourage better D absorption due to increased pressure.

I can assure you that no physicists were harmed by any of the experiments so far, though a few may have been made to feel uncomfortable.

A human can be a part of a reactor, or at least a part of a nuclear chain reaction, see first entry in the table listing criticality accidents:

@H-G. I have known and worked as technician for (in the 60's) survivors of both the Slotin 'demon core' and Y-12 incidents. The Y-12 guy btw insisted that the actual incident* bore only a slight resemblance to what really happened.
* ETA -as reported.

Alan, perhaps you know this guy:

It is an interesting and well told story.

Alan,
I applaud your sterling work here. However, as I understand it you are obtaining a trend line from a segment of noisy data and saying the positive gradient is interesting.
That is only true if the trend increase is statistically significant. Eyeballing that noisy line, and the very small increase, I'd say it was not significant at all. rather like AGW doubters drawing trend lines on short segments of temperature data and discovering a cooling world. However, if you performed a statistical trend analysis giving say the 20% confidence bounds for a linear fit (it would be unhelpful given the high noise to introduce extra degrees of freedom) you could perhaps convince me. Without such an analysis, eyeballing a noisy graph and finding small changes in fitted line significant is psychology not science.
Tamino is a good resource for understanding the perils of linear curve overfitting (and nonlinear curve is worse).
Best wishes, Tom

My eyeballs tell me that the (average) shape of the jagged count rate curve is rather similar to the temperature curve.

I didn't mean a human as a fuel. More like a catalyst. Could it be say Rossi's body temp goes few degrees down when reactor temp goes up.
This is a joke of course but JH seems to claim it. It may also explain poor reproduceability. Maybe F&P had to hold hands , cross fingers or dance that type of thing.

true - and with that amount of noise such an observation is definitely apophenic!

Yes- and 'interesting' was all I said. No claims that it is deeply significant, or even meaningful. I like my results to be beyond interesting before I get excited. But thank you for your cool and objective comment.

A brief hiatus in our programme unfortunately. Due to move into our new lab during today/ tomorrow, but last night the property manager phones me and said 'because of the snow the painters are late' so they are painting over the weekend and now we move in on Monday 13th. So I've had to delay the furniture installation (due this week) and my current lab and some of my house are stuffed with boxed equipment ready to go. We might just be operation by the 15th, but it's going to be a lot of work -and dependent on the electrician who is elusive as they often are.

So, if you don't mind asking. What's the prospects of developing this as a commercial or DIY device we could parts from you and assemble it ourselves?

No I don't mid you asking at all. But let me ask you a question in return - I think the answer will be illuminating. What would my personal liability be for 'knowingly'selling devices capable of emitting gamma radiation in an uncontrolled or partially controlled manner?
-
Oh, ok, then I can see the issue now. Thanks for clarifying the ambiguity. One wonders how does Rossi surmount the above issue?
-
Deny, deny, deny. And lots of shielding.
-
And a wig too?
-
Deny, deny, deny. And lots of shielding.
Or the most obvious answer...
He does not have a working reactor!
There was no shielding at the "Stockholm" event that I can see. However, your four word report on attending the event "it was a demo" does not tell us anything.
Does his QuarkX look anything remotely like your reactors? Are yours "LED"... I mean plasma based?
Do you not think IH would have checked for gammas over the years? How about the Lugano profs? Or do you believe IH is the evil entity in this drama and covering up?
There is SO much evidence (much circumstantial but valid none the less) to condemn Rossi and so very, very little to support him. It truly takes one of great faith to believe in him for sure, because I sure as heck have not seen any positive facts.
I must admit Alan, one day one of us is going to be embarrassed. Either I for calling Rossi a scammer or you for continuing to believe in him. It is beyond me.
(But then again, many things are!)
Wait... he has already been proven a liar/scammer, so at least I know I am partially right already!

I am not going to be embarrassed if I am wrong about Rossi and his technology.
I am going to put it as an interesting experience.Never thought I could follow
such an interesting subject (LENR) and
interact with the people who follow it.
