Was it measured at all? Does it matter? The calculations are based on the mass change, presumably of the Hydrogen bottle, so it's a measure of the H2 that went into the device, however just because Hydrogen went into the device, that doesn't necessarily mean that it underwent a nuclear reaction. Some (most?) is sure to have been left in the Ni as Ni hydride (&/or Hydrinos? ;) > >On Thu, Feb 24, 2011 at 10:39 PM, Horace Heffner <hheff...@mtaonline.net>wrote: > >> >> On Feb 23, 2011, at 5:47 PM, mix...@bigpond.com wrote: >> >> In reply to Horace Heffner's message of Tue, 22 Feb 2011 13:35:03 -0900: >>> Hi, >>> [snip] >>> >>>> This 270kWh per 0.4 g if hydrogen is obviously well beyond chemical >>>> if the consumables actually are H and Ni.
