Slide 47 shows a significant difference.
Seems fairly well coordinated, actually, since there was stable gas quantity
with no heat, and the excess heat came with excess hydrogen.
Which slide shows no correlation ??

I think the slides showing the neutron-cross section were hinting at the

To clear up one detail, there is a looming question:
“why is this Mizuno device not a more sophisticated version of the
Farnsworth Fusor?”
It can be acknowledged that there are similarities. The Fusor is a deuterium
plasma device which can employ nickel as the electrode (tungsten is usually

The LENR reaction always happens in a plasma that has been produced by
electrical discharge, but when water is present, the plasma is quenched and
it cools quickly. This removes the SPP solition before it can properly
develop to the proper strength.

Final note: Mizuno saw 108 MJ of gain over
30 days at COP of 1.9 - his net output was about 8 MJ per day, on average.
For Roulette et al, the next best result in the history of deuterium LENR,
there was 294 MJ is net output over 152 days at COP of 1.5, or about 2 MJ

The quadrapole mass spec RGA will have a front end ionizer to extract an
ionized sample for measurement. I think this front end is likely to only
extract positive ions and there will be no f/D+ because there is no such thing.

IMHO, the transmutation of D into H is a minor endothermic side reaction
that uses energy from the primary nickel hydrogen reaction which is gainful
on the average.
Hydrogen serves as a plasmonic dielectric and is not always the primary
source involved in the production of energy.

I doubt the fuel was depleted. I realize you say the mass 4 species are
gone, but that does not mean they are used up in the reaction.

Apparently, many of the observers of LENR, especially among those who did
not attend, are unwilling to give due credit to the paradigm shift which
happened earlier this year at the MIT colloquium - in the Clean-Planet
presentation of Yoshino, based on Mizuno's work. This is arguably the most
