    If character flaws were disqualifying, we would have to shut the forum down, and LENR would have withered on the vine long ago. And really...only 7 of his students over a 3 1/2 year period bothered to comment on his teaching strengths. And they rated him average, which IMO is not bad considering he was publicly hung out to dry by his colleagues.

    I have taught "residual water treatment" for one semester at the local university, and I was very dissapointed with the quality of the alumni (I would have sent most of them back to high school, they lacked basic arithmetic skills), so I would not even consider anything they would have say negative about me.

    oxygen has a number of isotopes..some H2017 should be present naturally

    16O99.8%stable
    17O0.0380%stable
    18O0.205%stable

    I think they are comparing the O17 to O16 ratios somehow

    Also there is HDO..


    2D+O18 =Ne22??? another possibility?

    Robert, this arose from the finding that water taken out of the reactor had a significant increase on density (up to 3%). This is not said in the paper, you have to see the videos posted prior in this thread, this means a significant amount of the O in the water is O17 for explaining the increased density. 100% H2O17 is 1.044 g/mL.

    The 1.05 is because the error bar is 5% so they consider only as indicative of excess energy COPs above 1.05.

    I don’t think the only reaction happening is the formation of O17, but the balance of it all tends to an equilibrium in which the result is a net production of O17. For what I understand this is a closed system and all

    the interactions are between the water and the pipes, and as the water gets pumped and cavitation is produced hydrodynamically, the excess heat is measured versus electric input of the systems needed to keep the reactor working.

    I think we have to take a moment to really appreciate and let sink in the relevance of the production of highly O17 enriched water. That is the least abundant Oxygen isotope. The sample of 250 milligrams of 70% H2O17 sells for around USD 1500 (Medical Isotopes Inc.). Producing O17 enriched water at will is a major proof of LENR happening in bjhuang ’s cavitation system. There’s no way around it. This is massive proof. This is a tantalizing realization!

    The International Date Line map isn't quite right, since Sidney has just set off its fireworks. I guess it doesn't include "daylight saving time".

    Well, I wasn’t telling from the map, just from my watch that marks 10:24 AM at this moment (finishing my breakfast on a lazy Sunday morning, after a 36 hours fast, I fast for 36 hours twice a week, been doing it for some years now).

    Interesting series of videos posted by the MFMP on a visit to bjhuang ’s laboratory. I am positively impressed by the scale of the operation. Of special interest to me is the claim that water coming out of the reactor is measurably different in density (up to 3%), I am really intrigued to know if analysis of the electric conductivity, pH and total dissolved solids has been performed, considering that the water that goes in the reactor is De Ionized.

    Well, transmutation is what drives the process presented by Aureon in their latest video, but they are focusing in radioactive isotope stabilization for commercial reasons. This is why I posted only research addressing radioactive elements there. There is another paper by a Japanese team with reduction of K40 radioactivity by cavitation, but the pdf I have has a glitch in the fonts and only the very brief English abstract is readable.

    eah so we are talking 44mg/L

    Here’s the confounding factor: the printed lab results state values in ug/L with two significant decimal points. One can see that the desk image 2 has the values for the control sample. If this is correct, the table comparing the control to the processed water is also in ug/L but with three significant decimal points. So, it would imply that the Thorium level in the control is just 44 ug/L and this is very low (44 mg/cubic meter). This requires clarification, because I can hardly believe that a produced fracking water would have so low levels of sodium, which is usually in

    the tens to hundreds of mg/L.

    Here some better quality screen captures:


    Printed results on desk 1:


    Printed results on desk 2:


    Control Vs Processed results.


    From these one could say that the Control Sample is what is seen in the Printed results on desk 2 image (which only has 3 elements detected above the MDL, hence all others are considered to be not present, except for the Thorium that was purposefully added), and therefore the point in the table would be a decimal point. So the total amounts, if this is the correct interpretation, are really small.

    (propbably ugs)

    Mark Pinnell , it would be great if you could ask for clarification of the units employed. The results printed in paper visible on a desk in the video clearly show ug/L which would stand for micrograms per liter, which is very small quantities (milligrams per cubic meter, as opposed to mg/L which translates to grams per cubic meter). Also I have doubts if the point in the table is a decimal point or a thousand point, it literally changes the interpretation by 4 orders of magnitude. It is confusing.

    And last: Why testing Thorium? Thorium is no problem at all as it can be easily filtered out. For storing the waste all the 232Th decay chain products need to be remediated.

    I think you are missing the point altogether: The results imply that thorium present in the treated water sample dissapeared for the most part, and many elements initially not present either in the aqueous solition or the solid parts in contact with the solution, became present, thus giving rise to the possibility that the dissapeared thorium was transmuted to stable elements.
