RE: [Vo]:Ni+LAH systems not performing

From: Jack Cole * I wrote a short post about two papers that are of interest, but are negative regarding Ni+LAH. Jean-Paul Biberian has conducted a series of experiments with the Parkhomov formula … after some 20 experiments utilizing mass flow calorimetry revealed no excess heat. Additi

Re: [Vo]:Ni+LAH systems not performing

David French pointed out that Biberian "apparently did not test the formula described in the Rossi August 25th US patent. He omitted to include free lithium." So his experiment is not a replication attempt according to the patent, and it has no bearing on whether the patent is valid. - Jed

excellent results however clearlya Piantelli replication not a Parkhomov one. 21 watts excess at 1200C. LENR not LENR+.See references. Publishing a raw translation however I was focused on Geneste's Reverting the burden paper Re Parkhomov replication the situation is still bad and fuzzy.Two Mos

Re: [Vo]:MMDD .... Muon Mediated Deuteron Disintegration

This is definitely a crazy train of thought on my part but it's got me wondering: Bearing in mind Holmlids detection of muons and possibility they come from decay of positive or negative pions along with the fact that they are generated in ultra dense deuterium. Is It possible that the nuclei a

Re: [Vo]:China Details Next-Gen Nuclear Reactor Program

Mats, Although the LFTR has fundamental advantages, the moving pebble bed reactor is much further along and will be cheaper to build. That you can have lots of small units scattered around much eases the power distribution problem too. "A proposal to construct two 600 MWe high-temperature ga

RE: [Vo]:MMDD .... Muon Mediated Deuteron Disintegration

The lifetime of pions is a factor of 100 times shorter than the muon, which is itself short. How pions can be detected at all, with so short a lifetime is a question worth asking. There is a good possibility that they are inferred – from finding muons, which can be detected. Hopefully,

RE: [Vo]:Ni+LAH systems not performing

Jed’s comment brings up several interesting points. Both Parkhomov and the other group claimed success, but neither followed Rossi’s patent closely. The Kazak group did not use resistance wire at all. And both apparently used LAH and nickel, but the nickel was not the same composition as Rossi

Re: [Vo]:Ni+LAH systems not performing

You have to be very careful of your formulations and observations when using Fe2O3 in this chemical system. Both the unoxidized Al and Li will form a thermite reaction with the Fe2O3 which is very energetic. The Li thermite reaction will probably ignite first when the LiAlH4 decomposes to LiH and

Re: [Vo]:Ni+LAH systems not performing

Free lithium was applied in the fuel preparation phase. Was fuel preparation done where a 100 micron fuel particle was formed containing a large amount of carbon? On Mon, Oct 19, 2015 at 9:44 AM, Jed Rothwell wrote: > David French pointed out that Biberian "apparently did not test the > formula

It is well known that the hydrides of group 14 elements produce Rydberg matter because of their covalent bond structure(4 bonds). These element includes include silicon and carbon. In the Lugano report, after fuel preprocessing, the 100 micron fuel particle contained a large amount of carbon. Also

I guess there is a chance that they saw X-ray spectra from Pionic Deuterium as well as inferring from muons of specific energy. It will be interesting to see what he says on Thursday, I hope someone can ask these kind of questions. Sent from my iPad > On 19 okt. 2015, at 18:18, Jones Beene wr

Re: [Vo]:Ni+LAH systems not performing

According to Holmlid, Hydrogen Rydberg matter is formed when there is no reactive elements available to form covalent bonds. Hydrogen must interact with itself. The hydrogen must desorb from a material that does not combine with hydrogen. Carbon at elevated temperatures does not interact with hydro

Re: [Vo]: Translation of Russian paper on Ni-H experiment

I believe that the work in this paper is new, but the authors remembered their own previous work with Ni and hydrogen where they saw unexplain-able heat in the 1990s. What distinguishes the new work is the use of LAH in a sealed container. On Mon, Oct 19, 2015 at 3:26 PM, Jed Rothwell wrote: >

Re: [Vo]: Translation of Russian paper on Ni-H experiment

What I would like to emphasize is that the first study described here was an independent, stand-alone observation of excess heat from the Ni-H system. There are not many studies like that. All the ones I know of were inspired by or linked to Mills, Piantelli or Rossi. Such results might be colored
