RE: [Vo]:Russian scientist reports replicating hot-cat excess heatIt seems to me that there must be a separate cooling mechanism happening to remove or redistribute the heat within the reactor. If it gets to hot the reaction may shut off because of sintering of the fuel. I would bet that the heat after death has to do with the availability of Li vapor from the ceramic reactor vessel. It would be interesting to know if the fuel has changed it shape from small (nano) particles to a sintered substance. If the Russian experiment is like the Lugano experiment, I think there should be a depletion of the Li. This could cause the reaction to cease also as the internal cooling from Li vapor is deminished.

On the same diagram shows the count rate Geiger counter SI-8B. this counter responsive to alpha, beta, gamma and X-rays. It is seen that all during heating, the radiation situation is not very different from the background. Thanks - lack of radiation is expected given the record of gain in NiH – but it is most interesting in leaving the door wide open for many new explanations and investigations. The main missing detail is a control run with no “fuel”; and then isotopic mass analysis of the ash. There is still a decent chance that thermal gain will be seen with no “fuel” which means that we are playing a brand new game, in terms of prior expectations.
