My point above is that the R20 reactor shell was apparently not degassed at high temperature prior to the experiment. Therefore it seems possible that the presence of mono H played a role in its reported success. I hope to hear further details from Jed and mizunotadahiko to clarify this.

Do you have in mind a particular report from the Hokkaido group? Jed Rothwell put up some isolated graphical results on this thread in the Spring, then linked to the following paper "Development of hydrogen energy heater using nano catalyst" which, however, is not very complete. They claimed COP ~ 1.4
There was a bunch of plots in a Mizuno Supplement. It was short on details, but at least the displayed data seems to be self-consistent. Like the unadjusted calorimeter recovery was quite constant, that sort of thing.

Here are the RGA plots for MR4 Cal6, showing the appearance of mass-3 after the calibration heating. Note that residual water is more than an order of magnitude lower than the initial D2 detection, and there is no sign of free Oxygen or Nitrogen at the end of the test.

New webpage from MizunoTech
MOVING FROM LABORATORY TO COMMERCIAL PHASE
Mizuno Technology, Inc. a Hokkaido based start-up, has now had its cold fusion results replicated independently, and more replications under way. Now we are developing a safe, controllable and powerful reaction to supply nearly unlimited heat to transform poor societies with alternative cooking fuel, heat for agriculture, space heating and clean water. We are moving from the lab to the commercial testing phase. Our mission is to use this technology to improve the lives of the poor and developed countries alike.

Great finding! Can this be confirmed by mizunotadahiko or JedRothwell please?

To be honest the website looks like a scam.
Hope my impression is wrong.
The site has no imprint, no contact form, not even one single name of a contact person. Just public information and some pictures you may find in the deeps of the internet.

We have discussed this website before.
I think we decided that the main page photo is a 2017 image.
If that isn’t a staged photo, I don’t get what is going on in the acrylic box.No insulation fan hooked up outlet bent two different devices
-
The website IP is in Kansas USA. Described as 'static, corporate' it isn't on any blacklists. ETA - I have raised a question about this with 'people who might know'

I have to agree the page looks amateurish on the first place, and suspiciously scant on details after that. I have seen similar pages taking the name of legitimate researchers to try and make a quick buck out of the unwitting.
In this case it doesn’t look like a scam right away as they don’t ask for money but who knows what happens after attempting to contact them.It may also be a fan made page with good intentions, Can’t discard that, I also have seen that kind of pages, people fan of a researcher that use their name and take an unsolicited role of a sort of representative of them in an attempt to increase the chances of people investing in their favorite scientist.

The "About" page at mizunotech.com shows the following credit for the lab photo used:
"Photo used under Creative Commons from UC Davis College of Engineering"
The lab setup may be LENR-related, and the vessel on the stand could be an electrolytic cell. Other images revealed by following the link above show the attached display and some other details of the setup. The site further identifies:
Coleman Kronawitter Lab in the Department of Chemical Engineering. The lab conducts fundamental research in catalysis science and energy conversion applications. The research staff will be photographed operating catalytic reactors, advanced mass spectroscopy characterization instrumentation, and lab-designed reactors for operando Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. March 1, 2019. (Reeta Asmai/UC Davis).
The individuals shown are definitely staff and students of the lab at UC Davis. Are they part of the Mizuno Tech team, or perhaps they did some research in association or on contract with Mizuno Tech.

The last time we talked about this...
-
I do not see anything different with the website Mizunotech. Last time we talked about this in May, I checked with Mizuno's business manager, and he said they did the bare minimum on it. Their priority was on patents, research and investors. The one reactor photo was genuine, while the others were from stock, so competitors would not see their equipment.
-
The jury is out on this website - enquiries are ongoing. But it doesn't smell right.
-

Fair enough. But it likely wouldn’t take more than an afternoon to put together something skeletal that still looks respectable. Especially with the proliferation of services like squarespace and unsplash.
-
And if their focus is on investors, then their focus should be on presentation, too.
If I’m an investor, how seriously do I take a business manager who can’t/won’t build a website?
Years ago, somebody impressed upon me that ‘every job is a sales job’. It’s a crude thought, but there’s a truth there too.
-
Points well taken. Good seeing you back again.
-
Mizuno knows nothing about this 'Mizunotech' website, and is pretty furious about it. So it's definitely not official, and possibly what is known as 'passing off' - which can be criminal.
-
I also wrote to Dr. Kronawitter to let him know of the possibly unauthorized use of his lab photo on the site.

Are you saying the business manager is behind this website? Who is this business manager?
This is the website we are talking about, right?
https://mizunotech.com/index.html
I suggest you tell Mizuno. He said he knows nothing about the website.

Ouch! I hate to see Mizuno being associated with such things.
For the record, I have no clue about any of this.
SPEAKERS ON LENR AND FUTURE ENERGY
Would you like to know more about LENR, aka 'cold fusion'? This is the real scientific discovery that won't go away. One-third of a century of research by scientists in over a dozen countries has shown that LENR is both an exciting new science and a potentially important source of clean energy that can provide uniquely zero-carbon zero waste power to the poorest and the richest people in the world, it is the future of distributed energy. If you want to know more, LENR-Forum working with the ISCMNS can find expert speakers on this topic for your conference, anywhere in the world. Simply click here to contact us.
