Do you have a link for this?
Not since my old hard drive crashed. Memory suggests it involved Matthieu, and a leaky Celani cell that had to be constantly refilled with hydrogen.

I'll be fascinated to read it Bob.
Crawl back under your stone Yugo.
Are you not aware of MFMP's 'Gammas on demand' results?
True, my position is that Clarke's figure was not quite a 'maximum', as some heat transfers were ignored, and also that his actual 'uncertainty' is smaller than the supposed excess (Several of his error estimations ended up cancelling out rather than adding up - I think he will feel vindicated overall).
Anyway, don't read to much into it: It's just my opinion.
However my opinion is based on some real-life figures I recorded from a long MFMP glowstick video, and also my own set of slightly different assumptions...
A prediction, based on some of my own (fairly rough) calculations from MFMPs previously released data:
It shows Rossi's Lugano COP was a little higher than Clarke's 1.07 (somewhere around 1.12) but with a greatly reduced error margin. (ie much less than Clarke's 30% - he was surprisingly accurate considering his report was based purely on theory).
Talking of "rackets", if anyone wants to know why Abd keeps rambling on about his mysterious training: Essentially he has been brainwashed by the Landmark Forum into proselytising for them...
QuoteI clocked two hours the first day devoted to “spreading the word” of the Landmark forum as a sign of the participants’ “integrity.” If they had integrity, they would, like Martin Luther King or Mahatma Gandhi, take courage to spread the beliefs of the Landmark Forum to all their friends, enroll them in the program, get them to come to the famed Tuesday night ending ceremony for their free introductory session.
I clocked four hours devoted to this subject on Saturday. I clocked the first three hours of the Sunday session to the subject: including suggestions to bring our children for special youth landmark forums geared to get them started early in the Landmark, at age fifteen (alone) or at age eight (if accompanied by a parent). Yes even little ones have rackets.

To be fair, it's not exactly a 'cult' by most peoples definition, although it certainly shares some traits with more insidious organisations; The Governments of France, Germany and The Netherlands are particularly interested in their methods and intentions.
And more importantly, it's also not exactly Science, or LENR either, so why it deserves to be mentioned so often is anyone's guess.
Laser, Plasmons, Nickel and Hydrogen leading to obvious transmutation.
Experiment by Vittorio Violante et. al. (ENEA), yes the same guy in that photo with Bill Gates at the same Italian nuclear research institution that appears to have part benefitted from the former MicroSoft founder's generosity.
Deposition of thin film of Nickel on polymer substrate on two samples. One sample is converted to black Ni-hydride film
"by a short electrolysis with 1 M Li2SO4 electrolyte in light water (40 minutes, current ranging between 10 to 30 mA). Ni-hydride film has been obtained by a short electrolysis with 1 M Li2SO4 electrolyte in light water (40 minutes, current ranging between 10 to 30 mA)."
Both samples are exposed to
"He-Ne laser beam at the reflectance minimum angle... ...for about three hours."
TOF-SIMS analysis expected to show massive discrepancy in 65Cu from natural abundance compared to blank.
In addition, TOF-SIMS should look at 7Li/6Li ratio in Li2SO4 and the residue on the exposed sample.

When practiced, this experiment could conceivably be achieved in 1 working day by a competent lab with things set up LIVE on camera.

Not vegetable, Alan. Animal. As in bovine excrement. Anyone want to bet?
Wait a minute Mary, I remember when you were accused of being a pathological skeptic, and you replied:
As I said before, I have no interest in claims for small, low level, low power LENR effects. I know nothing about those, I care little about them, and I don't evaluate them. So what?
I know nothing about Pd-D or electrolytic systems, I don't pretend to know about them, I don't comment about them, and I have said that many times.
But it seems you are now not only commenting on them, but also second-guessing the outcome.
Which sounds like the behaviour of a *forgetful person* and a pathoskeptic to me...
Sorry, I missed the fact that Murray's employment contract was also included in the court documents.
zeus46 is a noise generator
And Lomax is a pompous fool who believes he "learns by writing", rather than reading.
He also demonstrably lacks critical thinking skills, as evidenced by his self-chosen name, which literally translates from arabic as "A Slave of God". No doubt chosen due to a belief in the truth of writings by an old middle-eastern prophet, who claimed to have heard the voice of God.
So I feel it is most hypocritical that attacks those such as Peter Gluck, who chose to believe the claims of Rossi, or the claims of anyone else, for that matter.
Nope. It would not dry any quicker than it would with a flow of 1 kW of heat. The heat would just come right out again. The temperature would be no higher than 102 deg C
True... If the kiln uses steam to transfer heat (Which a lot apparently do) I hadn't thought of that, assuming they worked more like a traditional kiln.
magic insulation,
Nothing magic about isocyanurate. It's found in almost every new build house (in Europe). It's cheap(ish) and it's properties are well known. A US brand name is 'EnergyGuard'. We know it as 'Celotex' or 'Kingspan board'
You misunderstand. Kilns come in all sizes. Small ones the size of a refrigerator consumes a kilowatt or so, I think.
I agree with you about this sentence (although I do understand these things!), but if we take your previous post about wood kilns to its logical conclusion, it suggests we could pump 1MW into a fridge sized version, and dry lots more wood really quickly...
Which would work, but it wouldn't be suitable as a building material. Might work fine on a BBQ though...
Kilning wood is a slow process. The slower the better, otherwise it immediately cracks. Or just warps after a few years of use. (Hence why there is demand for air dried timber, despite it being more expensive).
To keep things slow, the heat intensity has to be kept low... That's why the 1MW kiln in your photo is so large...
However, a kiln that consumes 1 MW of heat is the size of a warehouse.
They are like that size to reduce the heat intensity below the point that surface temperature/heat flux would dry the timber too quickly, in order to avoid cracking it by drying only the surface...
Suffice for what? To keep the entire room at a comfortable temperature, so that no one notices 1 MW of heat?
Suffice to keep heat loss though the reactor walls to around 3kW.
Besides, who wraps industrial equipment in insulation? Why?
Professional mechanical engineers who design equipment
Why?.... To improve efficiency, of course.
The whole story is preposterous, because a machine that uses 1 MW of low grade heat is huge. It has to be, thanks to the Second Law.
Please elaborate on your theory behind this. I believe you'll come to the conclusion that lumber kilns are that size due to the properties of timber.
Ordinary insulation would not suffice
It would. 100mm of poly isocyanurate would EASILY suffice. It's very, very, very simple to prove this using Fouriers Law.
But anyway, No chinmey = No Megawatt*, so it's possibly a moot point.
*Assuming the big doors at the back of the building were kept closed.
Does publishing in subscription funded journals contradict the definition of "open science"?
I said the reactor walls would be hot. The machine itself would be very hot, and it would radiate into the surroundings. No matter how good the chimney is, the machine itself will heat the room to intolerably high levels without a hood.
Even if the chimney removes all of the heat from inside the machine, there will still be hundreds of kilowatts of waste heat from the [reactor] walls.
It's fairly easy to model the heat loss through the reactor walls. Knowing the approximate surface area, the delta T, and assuming <100mm of isocyanate insulation, the heat loss through the walls would be around 3kW... Interestingly about the same rating as the containers aircon unit.
Re chimney photos you might be right. But please remember you are can only be referring to photos that you have seen so far. Adducing evidence from the witness box (I.E ambushing) is likely as frowned upon in the US as the UK... But there's still time for updating the court bundle though.
In real life, there is no chimney
This may well be true. I'm not sure, I haven't been. Have you?
I know there's Murray's statement, but there's a few things written in that which make me dubious of his motives. He is after all a paid consultant hoping to bolster his clients case in an upcoming lawsuit in which a lot of money is at stake.
He doesn't lie, but there are, I believe, some misdirections. The misrepresentation of the flow meter specs was an obvious one, the DN40 pipe is in my opinion, another... I mean, why would the "steam" pipe be thinner than the return pipe?
Even if the chimney removes all of the heat from inside the machine, there will still be hundreds of kilowatts of waste heat from the walls.
Which is why double walled chimneys are typically used in practice, with the cavity being insulated.
