(Quote from JedRothwell)

Jed, you are not reading the paper, and thinking through.

He SAYS that he has a pre-computed set of fill-up speeds based on electrolysis current.

Now, that would be worked out from initial runs, and include evaporation. So it would…

(Quote from JedRothwell)

As always, I mean what I say.

There were two extraordinary results from that paper, the 46 day result, and the heat burst result.

They need to be considered separately. Neither is irrelevant (or they would not have been calculated).…

(Quote from JedRothwell)

I actually agree - as I've said above, the amount of recombination needed for this excess heat would probably be noticeable. But I do not trust these results given that what is said in the paper is not what actually must have been…

(Quote from JedRothwell)

Jed. I have agreed that several times.

I'm talking about the overall hest budget over 46 days - not the heat burst.

I agree with you that it would have effects - if he monitored it.

You said, however, that he would manually adjust…

Ed - you do realise that is an oxymoron?

(Quote from Curbina)

(Quote from Storms)

In the case of this skeptic - it was ignored because you did not reference it in the paper you posted here. (Or at least not explicitly in that context). I realise thought that was only a draft!

(Quote from Curbina)

In particular, the speakers were disparaging to religion and "new age" spirituality. From time to time, they would mention telepathy, homeopathy, or other types of "pseudoscience" (or "woo," as the speakers referred to it). The…

(Quote from Alan Smith)

Yes, Ni-H cathodes are some hydrogen-absorbing metal, not (for cost and I guess stability reasons) Pd. And PdHx is Pd with H diffused into it interstitially.

Hydrogen, considered as metal under high pressures, is very interesting:

(Quote from Cydonia)

That is not polite. Better you shut up for a little?

(Quote from Cydonia)

Sorry - Cydonia - what (that I said) did you not see? I am not sure quite what sort of hypotheses you have in Li-ion manufacture - nor whether you do hypothesis testing? In which case you would not see (my comment about that) anyway!…

For example, maybe deloading from highly loaded cathodes is exothermic?

Galushkin may of course just be totally wrong, or I may be misunderstanding what he says.

In which case one of those options can be removed (and if need be because we are wrong in…

(Quote from Curbina)

I can conceive of the possibility - just as alien UAPs are possible (and in fact a bit more so) but it is very unlikely - for all the reasons you know from the early days when it gradually became clear that if LENR was nuclear it had…

Curbina hope I've answered your point now about Galushkin. Thanks for that reference - it is good to see somone quantifying that stuff, but not I think very surprising.

Just to compress all that.

This guy Galushkin says what I think everyone here would agree - that electrode deloading is exothermic. His experiments replicate F-P and quantify heat available from deloading, also they show sudden energy release (explosion)…

(Quote from Curbina)

I am not now sure what corner this is? I was not aware I had said anything significant about Galushkin, I have certainly not read his stuff in detail. Nor do I understand why he "kills" the systematic error argument.

But, just from…

(Quote from JedRothwell)

I really want to leave this - but i'm a sucker for Jed saying false things I can correct. here goes:

1) I do not try to explain away Staker's results (all of them) via recombination. We agree the burst heat after higher temps…

(Quote from orsova)

I have opted to look at what was posted - but while I can idly and quickly post stuff now I cannot spend the length of time needed to do that yet. I have given my time frame and would only undermine my position on that thread if I did…

(Quote from orsova)

I apologise for my manner. But I have every right to pontificate in a verbose manner here - just as Jed has a right, which he exercises repeatedly, to insult me and make false claims about my errors. I mean - I make errors. but Jed…

(Quote from Daniel_G)

Certainly Daniel,

In the papers I have read on Ni-H excess heat no proper calorimeters have been used. I would be happy for you to point me to open papers that do this: it is certainly possible.

I agree entirely, proper calorimetry…
