Sorry, Jones; I only got the MOAC. Earthtech's facilities were in the final stages of being cleared out when I got it (and it was a whole trailer full of stuff). I was sad to learn that Earthtech had closed. I can ask what happened to the Mills gas phase experiment.
The MOAC was configured to examine electrolysis based LENR claims. I will be somewhat reconfiguring MOAC to examine gas phase claims similar to those of Ed Storms - a simple apparatus/experiment. While I am working on MOAC, I can still start my gas phase experiments. Storms-like gas phase experiments are not complicated - make the pellets, put them in a closed cell (in this case the cell is just a valve and a 3/8" closed-one-end tube), add 1 atmosphere of D2 gas, and heat. Storms showed 0.5W of XH on 1g of a Ni(plus) pellet at 300C. I will put 3x1g pellets in each cell to test. My little insulated oven for this tube cell has a sensitivity of 40C/watt. If I get 0.5W of heat from each 1g pellet, the temperature rise of the cell would be 60C - a pretty easy isoperibolic measurement. The trick is finding the (plus) in Storms' Ni(plus) material. Anything I find that is interesting will also be tested in MOAC. <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> Virus-free. www.avg.com <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> On Fri, Aug 6, 2021 at 10:56 AM Jones Beene <jone...@pacbell.net> wrote: > Hi Bob > > This is great news.
