The different reactions of methanol and ethanol with micro defects on the Ni mesh may affect subtle resonant reactions of Ca ions left in the surface defects from the tap water. Also the anions in the water may act differently with the alcohols during during nucleation of the CaCO3 crystals. Florine or iodine in the water may make a substantial difference in the micro chemistry which forms the observed deposits of the crystalline Ca compound initially at the Ni interfasce.

Limelight – as old-fashioned as it may seem at first - has long been claimed to have a number of optical properties which look like they are related to hydrino creation. On a related topic, and looking at Fig.3 in the first cited paper, which is the emission spectra of calcium sulfate, the peak is at 580 nm. Coincidentally (or not) the palladium optical anomaly where the metal switches sharply from photon reflector to perfect absorber is at 590 nm. That would only be relevant if calcium carbonate has its peak at about the same value. There are a number of reasons to think the Mizuno breakthrough relates more to Mills’ theory than to LENR. Jones From: Jeff Driscoll<mailto:jef...@gmail.com> and calcium oxide is a candoluminescent material where limelight is given off when hydrogen is exposed to the material at high temperature: http://zhydrogen.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Candoluminescence-of-cave-gypsum.pdf https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXl6H7G6BMU https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limelight On Mon, Jul 29, 2019 at 9:26 PM Jones Beene <jone...@pacbell.net<mailto:jone...@pacbell.net>> wrote: For those who have not carefully followed Mills' work on dense hydrogen (hydrino) - calcium is listed as a favored catalyst. This could be important (or not) in the context of the recent Mizuno breakthrough ... certainly it has not been mentioned before but perhaps it should be (at least listed as a possibility) due to a few other related details. The Rydberg level for Ca is the fifth - 1/5 as it is inverted and notably calcium is the one of the few for this level of shrinkage. There is complementary catalysis with the other potential catalysts present, since there is palladium - first level, oxygen/carbonate ion - 2nd level, nickel 7th and 11th and now calcium in the middle - so that there is a deepening progression which could set up a cascade of some kind. If one is not tied down to any particular M.O. or theory - then this spread of catalysis values could be relevant in the context of Alan Goldwater's new report on his early stage effort at replication where he finds calcium: https://docs.google.com/document/d/16dP_SmSP8SuQbZ7p9eGoCwf1vwJKh7KPL7NAYv7j13o/edit Really nice insight by Alan. -- Jeff Driscoll 617-290-1998
