Thanks Mark. Sigma does have it "tax paid" for $124 / liter. I may
order some, but I consider it a low priority until we can get some
details on what Mizuno uses.
I might also try Everclear, (95% Ethanol) which is only $19 at Liquor
Barn. But the 5% residual water might affect the Calcite crystals. If
the results weren't satisfactory, I could always add more water and
drink it....

Ethanol is usually available in the US only as denatured Ethanol, even
as "reagent grade". The additives are usually Methanol and Isopropyl,
at up to 10% by volume. For that reason, I have not done the test
using pure Ethanol, and we don't know what Mizuno used anyway. I did
confirm that CaCO3 is insoluble in alcohols. I have also added a
reference in my document related to the complex ionic chemistry of
CaCO3 in aqueous solution.
Regarding your second comment, note that Methanol is not added to the
water soak solution, but is only used as a final rinse following the
soak at 90°C, as specified by Mizuno. Such final rinsing is often done
in chemical processes to remove residual water.

Alan should make sure ethanol vs =methnol does not make any
difference in the deposition of caco3 crystals on the Ni mesh.Jed
should ask Mizuno about this question.

Calcium as a LENR catalyst???

Thanks Jeff –
This could be important. 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.

and calcium oxide is a candoluminescent material where
limelight is given off when hydrogen is exposed to the
material at high temperature:

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:

Really nice insight by Alan.
