Attached is a plot of Log excess power vs 1/T with an uncertainty of ±2 watts shown for the Mizuno data. A linear relationship is clearly produced, which is consistent with previous similar plots of excess power published in J. Cond. Matter Nucl. Sci.…

Great thinking Shane!

TG feels they are up to the task, and committed to "solving this case". They have the talent, funding, and equipment to do so. Worse case is that their quest will lead them to new findings in other, more conventional sciences (as…

So IH desperately need a reliable new fusion reactor to market to prop up their falling shares. Why don't they invest the rest of their cash into TM and JR to put this show on the road? I must admit some of their recent patent applications don't seem…

If there's any continuing interest in the original topic (rather than the usual boring interminable arguing), here is the matrix of experiments I created for our private group discussion.
Comments are welcome, but please stay on-topic.

The google guys were professional in their methodology and what they published (and how they published it). But they would not have been published in Nature except for the PR successes of LENR in keeping the topic as something…

It looks to me that Zhang's Deuterium concentration was way too high at 0.3 MPa (300,000 Pa) since Mizuno recommended much lower: maybe higher D loading reduced the excess heat, Takahashi's group using Ni/Pd/ZrO nanoparticles also reported transient…

Unless you have a suitcase full of money you want to give us, or you know someone who does, I don't think your advice is useful. In other words, you are not an investor, and I don't think you can judge what investors think…

Skepticism is healthy especially from experts. The only other low pressure D experiments using a similar range to Mizuno I know of are Holmlid's - which again opens the suggestion of low-energy mesons (muons) and neutrinos being active LENR components -…

Takahashi etal observed similar transient excess heat in their Pd/Ni/Zr nanoparticle experiments - again using much higher D levels than Mizuno's recommendations. Maybe Zhang will have better results using only 100 Pa deuterium.

Didn't intend to be negative, Perhaps the pressure Zhang is using 0.3 MPa is higher than Mizuno recommended (up to 6000 Pa, but usually in the 100-300 Pa range?) Maybe too much D poisons the reaction after the initial peak?

Some encouraging news at long last!

The whole fractofusion story seems to have been dropped since 1992 , Strange since it fits in well with NAEs originating from crack formation on D orH absorption by Pd, Ni or Ti.

Yes, and after all this work Tom Claytor & Co working at Los Alamos conducted further exhausting studies of T production using scintilator counting under various controlled conditions ruling out hopefully all probable artifacts. The evidence is strong…

Not LENR, but a good article about our very own Alan Smith , and his Ecalox company. There have been many hurdles he has had to overcome....unfortunately not all science related. My hat is off…

The tritium story seems to have world-wide acceptance now - here's a quick expt for TG to replicate:

Maybe I have this wrong but it seems like the Nagel presentation on LEAP (funded by the Anthropocene Institute) is going down a similar road to Google.
The search for "an experiment that reproducibly produces LENR energy with good …

That is not what the statistics bear out. Richer nations actually have a declining birth rate, which actually is causing a macro demographic problem in itself because not enough workers are available to pay for all of the retirees.…

Dear Ed Storms,
Thank you for the excellent review paper of the different possible LENR theories. I think many of us here at LF would like to know what you think of Holmlid's work, specifically whether his ultra dense D orH corresponds to your Hydroton…

I was proposing to test the Ni meshes after Pd/D co-deposition first in a Szpak-type electrochemical cell for excess heat and if such positive evidence for NAE's was found from the cathodes - these could then be transferred to the R20. I was suggesting…
