It is respectful to read ALL the papers..especially if one intends to communicate directly with the authors

Takahashi et al considered the possibility of heat from the reduction of oxides in the calcined powder.
They found that the…

No, you do not. In this case, you attribute them to a perpetual motion machine. Previous "explanations" you attributed to things like invisible 30 mph fans. Your explanations are always impossible, outlandish, and without a…

I, and perhaps many others that have followed your lenghty cruzade against the dark forces of LENR and its stolid entourage of self deluded believers, have learnt that you will never accept the possibility of a non conventional…

Thanks kirkshanahan , sorry if my languaje appears somehow sarcastic, not intended, I just intend to employ a sort of teathrical dramatic languaje, sorry if it comes out as Sarcasm.

So, about your answer:

I understand what you say…

Wish this was a matter of opinion, claiming discrediting parameters that aren't even hinted or given credence in the paper is not just "opinion". But I guess respect is always due!

(Quote from JedRothwell)


That's my fault Jed. As my potential hydrogen customers always like to talk about kW rather than Joules, and as Takahashi so obligingly gave us the figure of 'more than 200W for more than 2 weeks' I just picked a figure from that…

No, this is not rational. It is impossible. There is no liquid in the powder. Nothing to dry off. They spend days heating it high temperatures in air, and then in a vacuum, to ensure there is no liquid, and no oxygen.

If this…

kirkshanahan Blessed us with his presence! That was a surprise. Now, JedRothwell answered your comments on the impossible hidden water as a source of the extra H after the sample preparation, and I would like to know where do you think that the…

Maybe you should ask Ascoli why it is we distrust his motives? If asked, I believe he will answer you honestly. He is not some newcomer to the LENR scene as you seem to think, who we just arbitrarily decided to "threaten" for no…

I think only to a new quarantine in the US and then a special isolation area in a hospital when clinically ill. I don't believe there are yet any USA cases in the open population though I think we can expect them.

Sure. I get that. People breathing the same air in a room will spread an infection, when someone sneezes. But I do not think they "share the same air ventilation" on a ship. They do on an airplane. Maybe even a big building…

.....or look at the fine ultrastructure of the catalyst using SEM as it changes following each calcination (might even find some of Bob G's doughnut markings from EVO strikes following the excess heat runs. ....and look for transmutations.....should be…

On a ship? I don't think so. It is not an airplane. Not pressurized. It is at sea level. I assume the blowers can bring in fresh air to every vent, without recycling any air. They have an unlimited supply of clean air. Not sure. I…

Still early days and figures all over the place. Depends what question you ask.

A total of 1,716 health workers have become infected and 5 have died (0.3%).
The same article says; The case fatality rate of COVID-19 appeared to be about 2.5…

Oh, boy, did you get that wrong! Post 32:

"The field of LENR could do without more of this sort of conspiricist babble. Jed has little experience with the world of academic research world and as a result he thinks in cartoons."

First,…

(Quote from Alan Smith)


Do you mean his talent is wasted, or that he is inebriated?

Hypothesis 3. Ascoli is wasted here.

(Quote from Alan Smith)


No, I meant the fact that Takahashi's energy output just happens to be about equal to burning 1 kg of hydrogen is a coincidence. It is a very round number. Suspiciously round. When I come up with a round number from a calculation,…

Two questions arise:

1. After baking for 180 hours in an electric oven, in ambient air, at 450 deg, the powder is then baked in a vacuum at 450 deg C for several days. Why doesn't this remove the oxygen?

2. When you heat the…

(Quote from Alan Smith)


Yes, I think it is. A round number, by coincidence. 40 kWh = 144 MJ. 1 kg of hydrogen is 1000 moles. It produces 500 moles of water. The heat of formation of water is 285 kJ/mole. So that's 142,500 kJ, or 143 MJ.
