Based on analysis of Lugano and Parkhomov work, excess heat begins at about 950C. The MFMP dogbone core was measured to be over 1200C and no excess heat was found. The likely suspect is that the glue used to seal the reactor tube failed, allowing a leak of the H2 when the LiAlH4 decomposed. The experiment was shut down because going higher in temperature risked burnout of the dogbone heater coil and the excess heat should already have been seen at a lower temperature than the 1200C core temperature that was achieved.
Ryan Hunt is going to try again. We will try to contact Parkhomov to ask what cement he used to seal his reactor. We are also looking at ways to test the seals that we make.
