There are at least 5-10 different kinds of old and new stirling engines

How can the inconel wire in Fig 12b be hotter/brighter in the cooler

Neutrons are hard to shield and when absorbed can produce radioactive
materials. Could this be a potentially killer blow to otherwise safe LENR?
Fission reactors typically create up to 10^13 neutrons per cm² per second,
and this experiment was only making about 20 per s, over (I assume) the
fu
Quick look through. A variety of materials tried with hydrogen and
deuterium. Best results 1-2W per gram of Ni35-Cu8-Zr57 and Hydrogen, at
573K (300°C) running for weeks quite happily. They found adding Cu to NiZr
made it work much better. They are getting far better results than they
get with
The hydrogen will convect and distribute the heat quite evenly throughout
the cylinder, there will only be a small temperature gradient top to
bottom. Also results were calibrated against a non LENR heating wire in
the same reactor. So I partly agree, calorimetry is imperfect, but
probably good e
And another in the economist (in the middle of an 8 minute audio from
Babbage Column prefaced by a discussion on walled gardens), 3:40 on. Very
negative and critical, and probably rather embarrassing to the columnists
in a few months time.

Argh, I meant a factor of 100 (never a good look to cock up your own
arithmetic when correcting someone)
