Hello Jones,
Do you want to keep your lime sauce secret? Arnaud _____ From: Jones Beene [mailto:jone...@pacbell.net] Sent: mardi 27 janvier 2015 18:28 To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: [Vo]:Jack Cole improvement in LiOH design Jack Cole continues to improve his prior results, based on a simplified Rossi/Parkhomov alumina tube reactor - with the aim of finding a safe and reliable "baseline" experiment which almost anyone can pull off, even a physics professor, in order to see thermal gain greater than chemical. <http://www.lenr-coldfusion.com/2015/01/27/replication-nilioh-excess-heat-re sults/> http://www.lenr-coldfusion.com/2015/01/27/replication-nilioh-excess-heat-res ults/ Please note: 1) Yes, Jack's experiment is low gain (COP~ 1.1) for now, and has no frills, but it is simple and SAFE and does not require large power input (although larger input is being considered) 2) LAH is a dangerous reactant and only skilled experimenters with a glove box should even think about it 3) This experiment is now looking repeatable, and given that it is safer, since there is no LAH, hopefully it will be replicated by many, or else someone will discover where the experimental error lies and why control-run calibrated thermometry (as in Lugano) can't be trusted. (note: everyone agrees that this should move to precision calorimetry eventually, once the gain is improved). 4) Please do not be overly critical of low budget efforts where the gain is based on calibration against a dummy reactor. Not everyone can afford foolproof calorimetry, but anyone can make small cumulative advances to a common theme, if the underlying experiment is safe enough and inexpensive. 5) In fact, Cole's technique is similar but better performed than the Lugano report, since he did use calibrated thermocouples which Levi failed to do. 6) Since the resistance wire is internal the experiment cannot reach temperatures in excess of say 1000C but lower temperature will show thermal gain. But this makes the experiment much simpler. 7) In principle, COP of 1.1 is no less AMAZING than COP 2.5, if the gain is above chemical, since both are arguably outside the laws of normal thermodynamics.
