    A Danish article on LENR, E-cat, very positive...

    Den Korte Avis har skrevet om thorium som alternativ energikilde – nu er en ny lovende energikilde på vej

    THAT'S not calorimetry. This is: gsvit.wordpress.com/2014/10/28…te-calorimetria-a-flusso/ (works fine with Google translate if you do not read Italian)

    8| ?( :phatgrin: Mary, you're "too much". That is a parody of denialism. There is a description of Hypercriticism, that really match your behavior. The moving target is among the symptom. Every Time the requirements are fulfilled, the hypercritic increase them. :borg: This is the end.

    Very detailed description, useful for replicators.
    Good enough but simple setup for flow calorimetry. I like the damping tank...
    Detail of geometry, time of ramp that cause meltdown... many interesting details it seems...
    :thumbup:
    Note there is no calibration reported. With flow calorimetry it is not absolutely required (theoretical computation works) but it improves confidence, eliminate hypothesis, increase precision.


    It should be confirmed by a replication of the same quality, but it match Parkhomov and Lugano results...

    Edmund Storms publish his conclusion, that temperature is the main driving factor.

    • The LENR process is not initiated when a sample of Pd is initially loaded to high composition. Additional treatment is required to cause the LENR process to start. Once this additional treatment is successful, LENR will take place over a very wide range of deuterium concentration, even after all D is removed and the sample is again reacted with D.
    • Only certain batches of Pd can be activated. One of the requirements for successful activation is lack of significant excess volume formation when the Pd is reacted with D.
    • Excess power produced by an activated sample is very reproducible once it is initiated as long as the surface is not removed. This behavior is consistent with the surface being the location of the nuclear reaction based on the behavior of helium release.
    • Once the LENR process starts, the amount of current applied as electrolytic current has no effect on the amount of excess power produced. Only the temperature of the active surface has any effect on excess power production, with higher temperatures producing greater excess power. We can assume that once a sample is activated, simply exposing it to D2 gas and heating it would cause excess power production. In other words once the sample of Pd is activated, use of electrolysis is no longer necessary.
    • The activation energy for excess power production based on the temperature effect is similar to the value for the activation energy for diffusion of D in PdD. We can assume excess power production is controlled by how fast the D can diffuse from the surrounding lattice to the NAE where the nuclear reaction occurs.
    • So called life-after-death will result in eventual destruction of the sample if the temperature is not controlled, as some people have observed. In other words, the system suffers from positive feedback as Rossi has also experienced using the Ni-H2 system. This positive feed back is generally not observed because the amount of power produced relative to the rate at which it can be lost is small.
    • Once the role of electrolytic current is understood, the F-P method can be seen to have the same basic behavior as all methods found to initiate LENR, including the Ni-H2 system. In other words, no reasons exists based on observed behavior to consider the Pd-D2 system different from the Ni-H2 system. Only the reacting isotopes are different which naturally would produce different nuclear products.

    For Blacklight Power the investment was made in the 90s, when the hop of shor term application was far, sot it was a bet.
    [lexicon]Industrial Heat[/lexicon] does not propose long term research on mW devices, but industrial devices for MW applications. The due diligence is not the same, the target is not either.


    Anyway it is risky, and I know any investment in a working LENR reactor can fail miserably for thousands of non technical reasons.


    The fund seems recognized :

    Morningstar OBSR analysts have awarded the CF Woodford Equity Income fund a Bronze rating. The fund is managed by Neil Woodford, who founded Woodford IM in 2014 after his departure from Invesco Perpetual, where he'd earned himself a legendary reputation as the long-term manager of the IP Income and High Income funds as well as the Edinburgh Investment Trust (EDIN).

    I don't know if it is independent investments, of if one contain the other indirectly, but if you add them that is nearly 50M$ of capital.

    I forgot to say the slides of Peter hagelstein are available


    http://coldfusionnow.org/wp-co…gelstein-Talk-09-2015.pdf


    there is a mine of information, and some slides are really good to explain their errors to Wikipedia mindguards. I like the explanation on negative results.


    Finally 0 of the few negative results, could have worked, if you integrate known requirements of F&P LENR. Not even on unexplained failure. it was always hopeless. It is about page 78...


    page 16 some discussion on He4


    There is also the slides of DeChiaro, that are "released for unlimited distribution to the public by the local Public Affairs Office" (Thanks to Paul Mahler fro relaying that)


    IEEE-brief DeChiaro 9 2015.pdf


    The beginning is good to answers wikiparrots, about undeniable results, peer reviewed publications...
    The rest is more focussed on the players (agencies, startups...).

    Note that there is a competition, not on the market of LENR device, but on who is creating the market by investing.
    There is a competition among investors to be the few one to have a brain and invest where it is smarter.


    More than that, they have no incentive to even lose money by publishing the report.
    There is also many secret data, names, methods, which are their competitive advantage .
    A fund does not sell it's fund, it sells the network and due diligence that led to good investment.

    One clear reason is also to keep a competitive advantage


    one simpler scenario than the conspiracy is simply that they are afraid to be attacked by a herd of conspiracy theorist and at the same time are happy to be the happy few who know the facts...

    5 million renminbi probably? about 700k$, but use also life standard parity to compare.

    The Chinese LENR site present a Chinese LENR company.


    http://www.lenr.com.cn/index.php?m=content&c=index&a=show&catid=11&id=419



    It is not clear, but at least this company is focused on LENR and filed 2 patent.


    The name of the company is probably badly translated,
    probably rather
    "Guangzhou co-Energy Technology Co., Ltd."


    If someone can explain better than Google translate? :D

    This is what you need to start some industrial scale infrastructure. Not so much in fact compared to the need.


    I make a quick computation based on some rules of thumb I've heard of.


    With such capital, you can leverage more money and borrow maybe 10x.


    And with that movey (investment, payroll, parts) you can start production of good of similar value (margin, even in hightech is not much more than 50%)...
    200Mn borrowed, 400Mn manufactured products... 400 1MW E-cat ?
    Once they are paid, you can build more with the cashflow...
    Not so fast growth, even if money turn fast.
    They will need partnership to leverage.
