Cold Fusion 101: Introduction to Excess Power in Fleischmann-Pons Experiments
Peter Hagelstein

Mon-Fri, Jan 23-27, 30-31, 11am-12:30pm, 4-145, 1/30 class meets in 4-149

No enrollment limit, no advance sign up

Excess power production in the Fleischmann-Pons experiment; lack of 
confirmation in early negative experiments; theoretical problems and Huizenga's 
three miracles; physical chemistry of PdD; electrochemistry of PdD; loading 
requirements on excess power production; the nuclear ash problem and He-4 
observations; approaches to theory; screening in PdD; PdD as an energetic 
particle detector; constraints on the alpha energy from experiment; overview of 
theoretical approaches; coherent energy exchange between mismatched quantum 
systems; coherent x-rays in the Karabut experiment and interpretation; excess 
power in the NiH system; Piantelli experiment; prospects for a new small scale 
clean nuclear energy technology.

On 1/30 and 1/31 M. Swartz will discuss results he has obtained from a variety 
of cold fusion experiments he has done over the years. He has observed excess 
power in PdD and in NiH experiments; typical energy gains in the range of 2-3 
are seen, with a few experiments giving higher energy gain; he has carried out 
a demonstration of his experiment previously at MIT; and energy produced from 
cold fusion reactions has been used to drive a Stirling engine.

Interesting revelation that torque has been generated from a FPE device. 
Wonder when that occurred?

Apparently the Swartz paper never made it into the lenr-canr.org 
archives. It is mentioned several times.

Did find the Swartz paper on his site. Very interesting paper. Thanks 
for the link. It did revealed what I expected, which was that as the 
excess heat is removed from the reaction chamber, via the dual Stirling 
engines, the reactor temp drops and the process can revert to non OU 
operation. To stay in OU mode requires control of the operational Sweet 
Spot. I have always assumed this is what NI, Rossi and his first 
customer are doing. I see this output energy versus sweet spot control 
to be something easier to do with a multi reactor system and in a single 
reactor. With a multi reactor system you can switch the individual 
reactors on and off to match the output energy demand while maintaining 
the individual reactors in their sweet spot.

You won't find any Swartz papers on LENR.org due to some strange
behavior of Swartz.  He's a respected researcher and does much for the
cause but he seems to have some idiosyncrasies.  Don't we all.

Ah, yes, the OOP.  Rossi seems to be able to sense when his reaction
begins.  I've often wondered if it is an audible que.

My feeling was he looked at the rate of heat increase. If it was not 
going up fast enough, he would give the heaters another kick and then 
switch them off. Once he got into the sweet spot, he engaged his RFG 
control system:

The RFGs were apparently further controlled by the brown box with the 
screen on the top, that sat to the right of the opened end of the 
container. Probably all now very old / yesterday's tech with the NI 
involvement.
