Michael Staker and Post-2012 FP replications

Michael Staker https://www.loyola.edu/academi…ring/faculty-staff/staker

a materials engineering professor at Loyola Uni, Maryland presented

at ICCF 2018 mid year.

The published work is from several yrs of research.

He replicates the Fleischmann-Pons excess heat effect with good precision.

He also investigates phase changes in the strained PdD lattice

"The excess heat condition supports portions of the cathode being in the ordered δ phase (Pd3VacD4 - octahedral),

while a drop in resistance of the Pd cathode during increasing temperature

and excess heat production strongly indicates portions of the cathode also transformed

to the ordered δ’ phase (Pd3VacD4 - tetrahedral).

A dislocation mechanism is presented for creation of vacancies and mobilizing them by electromigration

because of their attraction to D+ ions which aids the formation of SAV phases. Extending SAV unit cells

to the periodic lattice epiphanates δ as the nuclear active state.

The lattice of the decreased resistance phase, δ’,

reveals extensive pathways of low resistance and a potential connection to the superconductivity phase of PdH/PdD."

"if you think this is good, this is my data and this data is NOT a line that I drew through the data

.this is just a series of dots that were taken by the data acquisition card, put in an Excel file,

and plotted automatically on the curve and

to get a new data point you just move the electrolysis current up a little bit,

or the electromigration current up a little bit, to a new set point, and let it come too too steady state

and acquire a new data set.
so you could move it every 15 or 20 minutes, three or four times the time constant, and get a new data set.
so you just bump this thing around, until we acquired all the data that you see here, on the curve,

and I was delighted when I saw this. I was ecstatic.
the precision in the power could be measured to plus or minus a half a milliwatt and the delta T to 0.05 degrees C,

so the power out had a plus or minus fifteen milliwatt precision.

overall precision for the experiment is a half a percent. "

"so the factors that enabled this are . data acquisition, where I didn’t have take data by hand

.

there was no human bias. [it] could gather thousand data points a minute average them,

and that helped with the precision.
enclosing the the cell itself into an air sealed chamber was really a key,

but the biggest and single most important one was the use of

the medical syringe which allowed approach to steady-state.
this is a data set, again the same data set, the calibration curve

but at the end of the experiment, where we had seen excess heat,
and then I said to myself, “am I still on the calibration curve?”

STAKER-3"so the large crosses here that you see were taken after the experiment

to confirm that we’re still on the calibration curve.

Staker mentions about silver via Liu( 2014)

"transmission electron microscopy HRTEM to document images at tips of cracks in silver Ag, a low stacking fault metal.

Pd is a higher staking fault metal (approximately 10 times higher)."

Silver also affects the saturation with hydrogen..

Adding silver to MH lattices to increase magnetism should be done in moderation

Quote from DnG

Silver from what I understand will ...CooK

Juerg said something about it being a magnetic isotope.. .perhaps in the right alloy it works at 0.5 %level.

You wouldn't need much... if it is an initiator and the magnetic effect is widespread

Pro..siibbly we'll know by Xmas about Ag.

Perhaps one of the five titanium isotopes is magnetic in TiD.... Ti49?

In the Deneum ( Sergei's) patent... a gamma phase is important.

Quote from DnG

gallium

Both gallium isotopes are odd =magnetic??

Paul you come across this in biophysics..pretty new

Quote from DnG

gallium

Gallium isotopes appear to have no metastable states above ground state. Titanium?

unlike Pd109, Ag107/109 Sn117.Cd111 advised by Wyttenbach.

Quote from THHuxleynew

showing results that would be expected from CCS

Thankyou THH .. Could you elaborate on how CCS affects the accuracy or precision and what MS might do to mitigate it.
