From: [email protected] Low gas pressure would also reduce the heat transfer coeff. between the Ni mesh and the wall of the reactor… creating coupling to the phonic lattice energy states
Yes there are a number of reasons to suspect that mutual coupling and positive feedback between phonons, photons (IR) and plasmons are paramount in the Mizuno configuration. There could be triple resonance. On an historical note – there has been a strange divide – almost a line in the sand - for thirty years between the Pd-D “cold fusioneers” which were the majority - and the Ni-H “hydrino heads”… and no one took the initiative towards finding a middle ground until Mizuno. As mentioned, Mills and Holmlid have used the very low pressure gas regime for more than two decades but not with nano palladium. The cold fusion experimenters stuck with electrolysis until Mizuno pioneered the glow discharge but that was relatively high pressure compared to Mills. The “ full monty” of very low pressure gas - plus nickel - plus nano palladium - was almost overlooked for all these years. Mills had listed palladium as well as nickel as a hydrino catalyst but did not use it in experiments for fear of jeopardizing his IP which is no mostly expired. In fact, palladium is a better fit as a Millsean catalyst than is nickel! But IP considerations dictated that there was to be this persistent divide between the two. Holmlid further the divide with his own unique perspective. In short, it is a quirk of history that someone did not come up with the present Mizuno regime back in the early 1990s. If Mizuno’s results are duplicated – that historical quirk of having it available hidden in plain view for 25 years, could be looked on by future historians as one of the greatest missed opportunities of the 21st century..
