Dr. Celani (et al) discuss their knotty problems with Constantan wire, and unravel some interesting insights into anomalous heat.

Quote from Ascoli65

[ have never turned down any paper about cold fusion. ]

Did you applied this criterion also in this case?

I apply it to all cases, as I said. I never turn down a paper. If you don't find a paper at LENR-CANR.org, it may be because I never heard about it, or it may be because the author or publisher refused. There are no other criteria.

Quote from Ascoli65

A few years ago you were not so much confident about the prodigious performances of the constantan wires:

I am not confident now. I have not heard that he was independently replicated. Without independent replication you can never be sure a claim is real.

Quote from Zephir_AWT

I can understand that, but you can still register the rest in form of DOI links: the people accustomed to SciHub would already know what they should do with it.

The ones I know about are in the database, which you can download here:

http://www.lenr-canr.org/EndNoteExport.txt

They do not show up in the library indexes, for technical reasons.

If you want to send me a list of the ones I am missing, I will put them in eventually. I don't feel like going to the trouble to look them up myself.

Some interesting progress has been reported.

Apart from applying so called Capuchin knots Celani improved his setup by prolonging the AHE effects using an additional anode and HV pulsation in a different construction (without Capuchin knots).

The Capuchin knots will introduce a magnetic field parallel to the central located wire within these knots, introducing clear heat spots.

The introduction of HV pulsation in the other setup introduces the presence of a relative strong electrostatic field that could help prolonging the lifetime of free electrons due to the presumed Richardson effect.

Up till now Celani did not provide details of his process to prepare the applied Constantan wires. This presentation shows the details of applied low work force oxides which is another important detail.

Vielleicht gibt es einen Hinweis warum die Knoten wirken:

Sorry; Translation: May be there is a hint why the "capucino" nodes work...

Quote from Rob Woudenberg

The Capuchin knots will introduce a magnetic field parallel to the central located wire within these knots, introducing clear heat spots.

Celani will probably be smart enough to conclude that a separate coil around the wire will be able to cause the same magnetic field. Besides, with a separate coil it will be possible to fine-tune the optimum field strength.

FYI, can and I have discussed the possible reasoning for the effect these knots have here.
