Also, where does that sheet of aluminum go; it seems to disappear.
No it does not. it converts to Aluminium Hydroxide which makes the water look milky.

It is IMHO a great shame that they do not disclose the overall excess power estimates they get from this.
You have to bear in mind that Professor Iwamura is the academic end of a commercial enterprise, Clean Planet, Miura, and (somewhere in the background) the Japanese government and Mitsubishi Heavy Engineering all have a piece of this. I was amazed I got him to say as much as he did.

So LF is not a good place for truly open-minded skeptics who are only strong in their lack of conviction?
Someone who is determined never to change their mind is only here for the arguments. They are often interesting, but not always based on any more than uniformed guesswork.

They are irrelevant for you, but they are absolutely relevant for.....
those with a bee in their bonnet.

Unfortunately the Zeiner-Gudersen family are no longer working in this field, Leif Holmlid is in very poor heakth, so Olafsson is the only one studying this. And he has doubts about muon emissions, but if not muons, then what? He hopes to find out.

Ken Shoulders was a highly skilled technician, he has been described as the 'father of modern vacuum electronics;. There was of course an existine field of study triggered by radio valve research but this had been static for 20 years when KS re-introduced it, with some interesting results, including pioneering the design and construction of the first quadrapole mass spectrometers.

And I want you to notice a strange situation - we are talking about 1949 - it was at this time, since 1947, that the electron's own magnetic moment was discovered ..., but at the same time we see that Fermi did not respond in any way in his studies to this discovery
It may be that the magnetic moment of the electron was measured and calculated in the 1940's but the face that the electron had a magnetic moment had already been known for 50 years or more,

A regular graduated cylinder might lose a lot of droplets out the top. F&P had a narrow plug at the top which prevented that. I think a spout would be easier. If all you are trying to do is confirm that the water level can be measured with reasonable accuracy, it wouldn't matter if droplets leave. Just put the thing on a weight scale and confirm the water level measurement agrees with the weight loss. But if you want to confirm this measures the heat of vaporization, you have to keep droplets from leaving. You have to measure heat losses from the glass walls.
Jed, if you read #352 just above you will see that Rob is able to borrow an ICARUS reaction cell. No need for a teapot. And he will need a constant current PSU, not a constant voltage one. The palladium and the D2O is the most expensive part.

Why not just follow the Holmlid patent.
You need process knowledge as well as a recipe.

We (LENR Forum team) have a good relationship with Svein Olaffson which I just renewed at IWAHLM 15. He might be inclined to help with the right experiment..
-
I reccommend you slow down the video frame rate on YT when watching bobG - he talks too fast.

Absolutely terrific offer Rob. I'm sure that there will be a lot of interest in that from all the team here on the forum, and from JedRothwell too

One day, I will tell you the story of my great-uncle Ange Andrieux in earl Zeppelin's secret laboratory near Friedrichaffen lake during the First World War.
Please do. I have on of those uncles too, Harry Hodgekins, known in the family as 'Atom Bomb Harry) worked at the Cavendish before WW2 and he would tell everybody in the family 'we are building an atom bomb that will end wars forever'.

I'd still like to see a WE connected to a leaf-type electroscope, in a vacuum
I have acquired an electroscope. When I get back to the lab I plan to test it, but I doubt is will fir into my vacuum chamber.
-
You are quite right -CP, Miura, and eventually one of the 'zaibatsu' like Mitsubishi will all collaborate to mass produce what is required.

My interview with Professor Iwamura. This is unedited so please excuse the false start. BUT worth watching as I get him to talk fairly freely about their commercialisation plans.

Any alkali will saponify (make into soap) grease from handling electrodes or less than perfectly clean glassware. But I doubt that many experienced electrochemists allow that to happen by carefully degreasing everything and never handling bare metal electrodes without gloves.

It was alleged by someone who attended the hearing that the MIT guys also lied to Congress, some kind of enquiry? You might know better than me. That was a direct statement btw, not third hand.

I think this whole thing is fatuous. We have two skeptics throwing peanuts based on a paper written decades ago by two scientists who would probably not employed them as lab technicians. Based on ropey evidence too. Better men than these two tried to bring F&P down, and they only did it by lying to Congress about their own results.
