The vacuum system is put back together. There is now a valve between the forepump and the TM pump to prevent backflow. Right now I am testing just the vacuum system to determine how good a vacuum can be attained. The forepump can easily get down to a few…

Thanks Brian Albiston for sharing and to magicsound for helping him. Hoping this helps you get closer to a positive result.

A huge thank you to Alan Goldwater magicsound for SEM and EDX analysis of my prepared mesh samples. As suspected, very little Pd was deposited. Alan's conclusions were:

1. The water used in the 1-hour soak at 90°C may have had insufficient…

I really like the insulated Magic Chef box. Great choice.

2) "The calorimeter is housed in a non-climate controlled space so the input air is controlled to be a constant input temperature. A modified heated blower (Conair…

Thanks. I was running some calculations and that is pretty close to what I came up with. (472.8 SLPM at 100% recovery, estimating the outlet air temperatures). That means that the overall airflow is about 2/3 of what Mizuno was…

Bruce__H , Here are the reactor heater internal temperature and the reactor external temperatures. The reactor external temperatures are displayed as the blue and green lines. The blue line pretty much overlays the green. The…

Total air volume is in the 450 SLPM range for a blower voltage of 12.5V. I don't try and control blower power, but I assume it is fairly constant.

Here's a status report on my progress. All good so far....Magicsound Status Report Jan.pdf

You mention the difficulty of abrading the mesh. I have an answer to that problem - that worked for me anyway. Get a piece of 4" plastic drainpipe and gorilla-tape the edges of mesh to it, stretching it as tight as you can.…

Sorry, I was confused about what I was looking at.
The end of the outlet tube is capped off and instead the MAFs all independently vent the outlet tube.

News like this is always worth a thread Brian Albiston !
Thank you for sharing with us, this is incredibly important for moving forward in our field.

Thanks for sharing your efforts Brian Albiston . Impressive Mizuno analog you are running.

I'm not sure I understand your question. I don't do anything to account for the MAFs small diameter other than I require four of them to allow sufficient air flow because of the back pressure they create. If I had a stronger…

Hot wire traverses suck to do, in my opinion, even if they work well when done properly. Doing it each time, for each temperature range is a total pain. I thought I would fix that with a vane anemometer the same diameter as the…

Wonderful to see your posts on this topic Brian, and thank you for posting your results so far. I think you are doing fine work, as always.

Thanks for answering Brian. For what it is worth, we had word the other day of another very qualified, and well equipped LENR researcher getting a negative. They are trying another approach, so still some hope there. Things do…

Paradigmnoia Yes, that is correct. I standardized to STP because that is what the sensors report in. I have a hot wire anemometer, but the mass air flow (MAF) sensors are so much more convenient.

I've found the MAF sensors to…

Great work, and good idea repurposing the freezer. I wish I thought of that and now I really want a door on mine...

Did you standardize to STP mostly because the mass air flow sensors report in STP?
If you have more details on…

Shane, you are correct that I've volunteered for the MFMP in the past and was part of the me356 testing team. This is not an MFMP test. I am working alone and being assisted with funding by my FluxHeat business partner. He…

For the test I am currently running 4 meshes were prepared according to the Mizuno/Rothwell Materials and Methods supplement to the best of my ability. A couple of notes and observations in the material preparation:

• I used Dawn dish detergent.
• The sanding
