Only a fool would sell the Gates/Page blood suckers a working LENR reaction.
2 millions is the price they pay for a nice maiden...for a week on a
yacht....
And of course they would not pay for a reaction that cannot be scaled
... They would change the rules... We know that P&F works for 100%. Also
some Rossi stuff works 100% for a short time.
So what?

Well OK, folks, here it is. I've been planning to post this discovery
for years, but have just been putting it off. This method has worked
for me, but was done clear back in 1992 and 1993. No doubt you're
asking that Strangelovian question, "Zo vy didn't you tell ze vorld,
eh?" The other question would be, "Why didn't you patent this and
become a billionaire?" The answer to these questions is simple. I've
made three really game changing disruptive discoveries/inventions at
different times in my life and had my head handed to me each time. I'm
so demoralized by these events, I just didn't want to go through it
again.
Because of that, I've stuck to businesses that don't really attract
much attention and don't need large investment capital. What I'm
saying is, I'm going to tell you what I did and what the results were
with no expection of any kind. Of course, if those government
officials want to mail me that $2 million dollar check, I won't turn
it down. Fat chance of that happening.
Materials and equipment:
Tungsten wire treated with oxalic acid.
Sulfamate nickel plating setup.
Copper wire.
Steel wool.
6mm ID 1mm wall borosilcate tubing.
Hydrogen tank (regular welding supply hydrogen)
High vacuum setup.
High vacuum evaporation chamber.
Oxygen-propane torch.
Ordinary hardware store propane torch.
Fine grade steel wool was first cleaned in an aqueous sodium hydroxide
solution aprox. 150g/L. Then rinsed in distilled water and finally in
acetone. Air dried with a heat gun and placed in the vacuum chamber.
My vacuum chamber uses an unusually long (approx. 200mm) tungsten
filament for my own purposes. This particular filament was treated
with an oxalic acid solution and rinsed with distilled water to
promote the adhesion of electroplated nickel. Concentrated hydrogen
peroxide is normally used for this purpose, but I have found the
oxalic acid works better for me. A regular sulfamate nickel setup was
used to deposit a layer of nickel on the tungsten. After the
electrodeposition was finished it was removed from the setup, rinsed
with distilled water and air dried with a heat gun. The filament was
next spiral wrapped with various amounts of copper wire which had been
stripped from telephone cable.
I thought of electrodeposition of the copper as well, but I wanted to
observe the copper being evaporated before the nickel. The filament
was installed in the evaporation chamber along with the steel wool.
The steel wool was located horizontally from the filament at about
500mm. I realize that all of this is not "scientific" because I didn't
weigh the nickel or the copper and increased the current at a rate
determined by how the copper wire looked as it was evaporated before
the nickel. The copper melting into the nickel just as the nickel
began to evaporate was observed as the point to increase the filament
current, all highly subjective.
Obviously, the result will be a graduated layer deposited on the steel
wool starting with nearly all copper and finishing with nearly all
nickel. The large surface area of the steel wool and the likely
thermal distortion of it will produce all sorts of thicknesses and
orientations of the cupronickel alloy.
The chamber was slowly brought up to atmospheric pressure and the
steel wool inserted into a prepared borosilicate tube. The glass tube
was about 300mm in length, sealed at one end in the manner of a test
tube bottom. The coated steel wool occupied about 100mm at the sealed
end of the tube. Heavy high vacuum grade rubber tubing was connected
to the glass tube with attached tee, valves and gauges to allow for
admission of the hydrogen.
After allowing the vacuum pumps to create about 10^-6 torr. The sealed
end of the tube was then heated with a propane torch to just below the
softening point of the borosilicate. As an experienced, but not very
good, glassblower it's easy to recognize this temperature from the
color of the glass and the flame. Again, not very scientific.
After allowing the glass tube to cool down, hydrogen was admitted to a
pressure of between 1/2 and 3/4 atmospheric pressure. At a place about
100mm from the sealed end of the tube the flame from an oxygen-propane
torch was applied until the tube collapsed and sealed off the steel
wool with its cupronickel coating. The longer end of the tubing was
pulled away and the newly formed seal was heated to round off the
sharp point.
I likely made around a hundred of these tubes in rather rapid
succession. Most of them did nothing. But something like a third of
them became warm or hot for long periods of time, weeks and months.
One of them became "sparkly" for a few minutes. None of them became
hot enough to boil water. I have little doubt that a setup similar to
this, but with the ability to allow a higher hydrogen pressure would
produce more heat.
I gave up these experiments for both the above stated reason and
because I had to pay much more attention to my business on account of
massive foreign IP theft and unreasonable trade regulation changes.
Well, there you have it. I assume the usual things will happen: I will
be declared a fool and a fraud. Someone else will say they did it
first, and so on. Nevertheless, someone may find this information
useful and allow the world to have limitless access to inexpensive energy.
