    me356 Thanks. Pressure measurement range for this cell is limited to 100 Torr (13k Pa or 0.13 bar) by the capacitance gauge used. I can add up to 2 bar safely but that would be estimated pressure. Not sure high accuracy is needed but I will initially…

    One of the first reports is in

    OK, I can do that but it would be helpful to have more details. I can probably run this reactor up to 400°C but 300 is safer for long-term. I can de-load at 300°C to very good vacuum, then add D2 at up to 1 bar. That is still wide…

    A few weeks ago I posted experimental results showing samples of Pd coated Ni mesh were substantially loaded with H from environmental exposure at ambient temperature. If flux of H is a key parameter to activate LENR in this material, such uncontrolled…

    Today we have confirmed excess heat generation with Mizuno style reactor even at 70°C - the reactor from photo I sent. Until now we never performed calibration at such low temp.
    Reactor is loaded with only one mesh 20x20cm yet the COP is over 1.2 even at…

    Forgive me, but I thought you were no longer working with Mizuno?

    (Quote from Zeus46)

    No reason to be sarcastic about it. Most agree that he is a lousy businessman. Even some of those around him feel the same, and would agree that if he stepped aside, BLP would be the better for it.

    Tell me though how he has fooled so…

    With respect, that doesn't really go to the substance of my question, which was a request for a critique of the specific projects announced, as well as what we might reasonably infer about them from what's in the public domain.

    That is typical for point calorinetry, even in chemical systems. Do you have calibration curves for the reactor? Apologies if I missed them.

    Thanks for your useful comments and encouragement of my current research campaign. In order to continue the work I will need some treated meshes that have not been contaminated by contact with plastic bags. I suggested a way to do that…

    Here's a graphic summary of the power step from 250C to 300 C and back. It shows that some additional unloading of the mesh happened as the temperature rose, amounting to about 20 Pa of additional gas pressure after cooling back to 250C.

    No excess heat…

    (Quote from Cydonia)

    Two points here: If I understand correctly, me356 is proposing that the Pd coating acts like a "spillover catalyst", transferring monatomic H or D into the Ni substrate, and that is what he means by "flux". In that context, it appears…

    (Quote from me356)

    And if you have a stable temperature what causes the flux? In many experiments showing XSH with nickel powders and powder mixes including SmCo etc (and many more that did not) I have only ever seen XSH and the accompanying low-energy…

    Regarding the suggestion to cycle across the Ni curie temp (~ 358 C), that is well above the limit tested for this reactor. It may be possible but for now I'll try a more limited upper target of 300 C. The calibration bar in my charting software is…

    I can also program temperature cycling into the PID controller, as was done for the later Glowstick runs. That will make the system 'breathe' if anything does. It needs recommissioning after sitting idle for 7 years

    The calculated field from the internal Dc-powered heater coil is about .0012 Tesla, pretty small. We don't know what Mizuno used for internal heat in the R20 reactor. No photos of the inside were ever published that I know of, and the…

    The experiment continued to run over night, with no excess heat seen. The pressure curve did bottom out and start to rise a bit. The test will continue to run, in case something interesting happens.
