A young smart guy who recently started making his own experiment

Very encouraging results over the last couple of days.

They are encouraging for sure- and come with a video clip of me and my colleague Craig giving the electrolyser an enema.

This is the book that Matt mentions

in the video.

Thanks Sam. A fitting tribute to Baudette, that Matt was initially inspired by RIP Charles Baudette.

This is the exact moment where most people either give up or rethink the whole endeavor. I hope matt takes a step back and starts over with new insights.

matt, I am really glad you are not discouraged. What can I recommend? taking a closer look to the papers published within 1990-1995 in several journals, that worked with Ni-H systems and reported significant excess heat. Some of those are from Mills.

What I am personally doing is focusing in something easier and less controversial to measure than excess heat. LEN Transmutations in liquid phase, there's no much publications about, but measuring dissolved ions concentrations is much more easier, conclusive, and prone to do mass balances, than measuring excess heat, which, no matter how well you do it, is always controversial.

What one always have to keep in mind is that there's no such thing as a "simple experiment" when it comes to LENR.

Thanks Curbina , I appreciate that. Do you have any specific papers in mind - the LENR literature is a bit of a minefield lol

Ok matt , months ago, due to an idea proposed by AlainCo , a thread got posted with what I would call a selection of the more notorious excess heath publications in Ni-H systems. In some cases the papers were posted as attachments, in others the link to a well known site with access to a copy.

I will see if I can gather a list of them and also the papers/links for you. I approached the selection with a “meta analytical” mindset, trying to find what they have in common, what are the main differences, strengths and weaknesses. All were from peer reviewed journals, most between the years 1990-1996, a couple from the 2000s.
I will include a recent paper with classic Pd electrolysis that stumped on apparent excess heat, also.

Well it's good to have you back.

thanks so much Curbina, I appreciate you pointing me in the right direction . I must confess, I lost track of a lot of updates on the forum during lockdown - my fault.

matt , We all have been derailed to some extent by the pandemic, so no worries, I stopped posting for months, always had an eye on the updates tho.

The thread I referred to is this:

Looking for LENR papers showing high energy per nucleon

I now realize it was almost a year ago!

However I will make a list of the more experimentally interesting papers as I said. There are some pre 1989 jewels also.

I think the 1991 Fusion Technology paper from Mills of excess heat with electrolysis with Potassium carbonate and thin film Nickel electrode is interesting and the excess heat determined by means of temperature has good support due to the use of a control to compare, so you can see that the behavior of the experiment vs the control is different enough to support the conclusion even if you don’t believe in excess heat. The weakness of the paper is that Mills spent the first half of it explaining his hydrino idea and just then went into the experimental setup.

The paper from Notoya et al in Fusion Technology of 1994, is a sort of independent replication as they used also potassium carbonate and nickel electrodes (albeit they also used other materials for electrodes) and they not only report excess heat, but They also looked for, and found, Tritium evolution.
