Okay, but you specifically asked for the tritium paper first.

It seems we have a misunderstanding here. I am talking about the act of measuring heat with calorimeter. When I apply 500W of heat via a Kathal wire to the system, I get between 495 and 500W of heat captured in the transpiration air flow as calculated… -

Okay, I think a dedicated bot with a database of cold fusion papers would do a better job. The general purpose ChatGPT bot does not do a good job addressing this question. It says:

Today's AI itself cannot create a model. However, if an author somewhere proposed a model, you -- the reader -- probably did not hear about it. Because there are so many authors and so many models in the… -

to Storms’s post in the thread AI and LENR - The Bots Get Busy.. Knowing what is known is important. However, this is not the problem.

That is impressive, especially for an air flow calorimeter.
Any flow calorimeter will be well insulated. Thus, most of the heat is captured by the flowing fluid. The heat capacity of the fluid is well established, so you can easily estimate total heat… -

JedRothwell reacted with
to Daniel_G’s post in the thread The perpetual “is LENR even real” argument thread.. The best flow calorimeter I have seen is that of Jaques Ruer design and used in JP Biberian's lab. This transpiration calorimeter recovers more than 99% of the heat input, practically eliminating calibration error in the heat recovery step.
A 5 or 10% XSH… -

Well, he has said that the tritium is contamination, but in this case he is looking for evidence that the heat is an artifact of heat losses. It would be easiest to spot that with a flow calorimeter. There are many papers about flow calorimeters such… -

Take your pick. Most papers with significant excess heat far exceed heat losses. As I said, you can ignore the heat losses (assume 100% recovery) and there is still abundant excess heat.
I will not spoon feed you the papers. You have shown dozens of… -

You have that backward. As Martin Fleischmann said, we are painfully conventional people. We see that cold fusion is real because we believe in the laws of thermodynamics; we know that calorimeters invented 150 years ago work as described; we know…
