From Cydonia ideas I would support a line of replication

• The Fralick89 D2/PdAg Permeation, replicated by Liu2004,Biberian2005, Nasa GRC2008, Fralick 2012...
• Anyway, first Mizuno meshes, and if something works at high temperature with high COP, build a heat engine, and make it self sufficient.

One great principle would be to try to obtain the same material from the initial team that succeeded. Key is metallurgy, not nuclear physics. The rest is engineers work. My hint is to hire guys from microelectronics...

From my point of view

1. the first priority is to reproduce with great fidelity the results of T Mizuno.
2. If results are reliable and COP is high as estimated by Mizuno in his latest results, the priority should be to make a clear demonstration following the proposal of Jean-François Geneste when he was CSO at Airbus Innovation : use the heat to power a Thermoacoustic engine they have developed for spacial applications, and cycle the energy to make the engine run for weeks. Alternative I've seen from the paper of Jacques Ruer is to develop an Ericsson engine (maybe as a collaboration). As J-F Geneste explained in Milan before ICCF19, this would convince any engineer.
3. Another research could be to replicate the results of the U-Kobe/U-Osaka/Nissan/Toyota-Technova/U-Tohoku/Nissan/U-Nagoya, again, eventually with their samples.
4. Beside that there is a long line of electrochemistry experiments, like those done by ENEA, Navy NRL, SRI, Edmund Storms, or even F&P via JP-Biberian (he has sample of Icarus-9), that are challenging because of palladium batch selection, but that are replicated since long... Getting samples that have worked may be a key. One key investigations once replicated would be to confirm again the He4/Heat correlation, and eventually detect X-rays anisotropy. The problem however would be that it have been done since long and nobody cared.

I noticed there was no more any post on the JonP blog ... vacations ?

By the way, seeing the home heater by T Mizuno, for someone who could replicate high power/high COP,

does it seem crazy to loop with a heat-engine.

I remember that J-F Geneste of Airbus innovation (he is now elsewhere) proposed a thermoacoustic heat engine

https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2016131917A1/en

but the efficiency, even great was around 30% at what I remember was high temperature.

The interest may be that it would close the endless calorimetry debate once for all. This was the position of J-F Geneste, saying that no engineer would doubt anymore facing a looped engine working for weeks, in a reasonably open blackbox experiment (hand on the wires)

I remember Jacques Ruer did a great job to estimate the requirement if such an engine.

The maximum tested power for the reactor seems to be 300->3000W above 300°C, and with a good heat engine, like Stirling or good thermoacoustic, it looks worth verifying if it is possible...

In fact from Jacques Ruer presentation, I think an Ericsson engine would be the best engineering (max 500°C because of valves, but much space for heat exchangers)...

Maybe it could be accessible to car engineers? I know some car engineer fan of Ericsson.

COP of 10 above 300°C seems inside the acceptable performance, for a reasonably efficient heat engine.

Do you agree?

About the preprint, there is an interesting par about testing at 3kW, above the calorimeter 1kW capacity.

What I see interesting despite the weakness of that "home heater calorimetry" method is that it can detect huge mistakes in the calorimetry... I remember of the Doral or Lugano questions, that may have been easily fixed with plain eye or short sleeves calorimetry.

About replicating Mizuno, is it a good strategy to ask Mizuno to manufacture himself (why not to subsidize him, ask him sample for money) some NiPd foam, with his tools and products, and test them is a compatible reactor with a matching calorimeter (very similar as explained in the paper, to have the same temperature/pressure/dissipation behavior) ?

I'm not in research, but quite often in bug-research. The first step is to reproduce the anomaly with maybe absurdly similar conditions (not easy, sometime the key conditions are hard to guess because they often assume a bug theory that if you know it would lead to an "Eureka I'm so stupid moment", and a 5 minutes correction).

You try hard to reproduce even the most stupid condition, until it works at least a little.

Then only you change one parameter at a time, first the "not important" one (that often are very important in fact, or else you would have understood the problem since long). And when it works, you can add instrumentation, hoping you don't break the replication with the probes.

I imagine it looks funny for you, but when you have "voodoo bugs", you have to be really scientific... it is more biology than computer science.

It seems that here, with Ecalox, Cydonia , but also out in Google, IH, there are people with good calorimeters, good cells, thay may try to reproduce Mizuno with his sample?

Is there risk to break the replication with transportation.

This can be the real trigger. This is what can be THE gamechanger. Thanks.

By the way do you think the google calorimeter be used there ? is it the good shape/power?

There is some truth in that joke, like engineers and even more, the military guys (and ladies) have a strong tendency to value facts and risks more than theory and social opinions. When the stakes are great, they just make the job, because their life, our nation life, is at stake. They also depend less on other's opinion, more on facts. Coporate engineers, are nor far, as their company's survival is always at stake.

I hear many conspiracy/lobby theory against LENR by big oil, but from Amoco to Shell, from Toyota to MHI, from BARC to LANL, ENEA and CEA, I see the engineers have done the job, but were blocked by academic or political politics.

Done...

When you learned microelectronics, contaminants seems real a bad term for the key of all modern electronics.

After all a Core i7 is something like silicon with just touch of contaminants, tiny oxidation, trace of metal... nothing important... mostly silicon, so it should be easy to make one.

I think that link gets around the paywall. Maybe it only works for me? If it works for anyone, that is a weakness at the Financial Times website.

At this point, success is the #1 priority IMO. How anyone gets there is secondary. If it takes borrowing someone else's special batch of material, then I do not see what the problem is? If they are able to replicate using it, and are then shut off from receiving anymore, they will be extra motivated to figure it out. And as Jed said; once mainstream jumps on the band-wagon, there will be unlimited resources, and manpower thrown at every facet of the science.

Naively, I feel it is the best solution, a kind of blackbox test where Google team us their calorimeter, and just prove somethings happen.

By the way if the "old-guard" calorimeters don't find the same results as the "new guard", there is a serious problem... but at least it will be clear.

What have heard from innovations specialists, is that whoever make the breakthrough, all the people who are investigating LENR will be valued like walking gold. If you have somethings that really works, and can be tested by Google, make them test. They can steal the idea, not your past work that all corps on the planet will struggle to acquire.

I've seen that Cold Fusion on Wikiversity was erased too.

NB: Current Science website is often hard to reach.

Thanks for LENR-CANR, the Library of Alexandria of the domain.

I hope they can go to ICCF22

JedRothwell I put two tweet of Berlinguette (he tweets very few) link that get piled,

https://twitter.com/cpbCleanEnergy

another by carl page,

I made a link error for a tweet by M Trevithick

the team is proud, and hopeful.

I hope their strategy is

1- weaken the Cold Fusion peer-review ban by some hypocrisy, a kind of Hormesis

2- call experts for help

Some reinterpretation of buzz seems to say that in fact there is already a raging war between teams like Industrial Heat, Nissan, Toyota,MHI, Clean Planet, Seashore Research... I'm not fully convinced, but if it is, maybe Google is trying to enter the market by another door.

Berlinguette is not depressed
