Hello group,
Here's a nice recap of what has been discussed during the meeting, courtesy of user "AB" from ecatnews.com (in the comment section here: http://ecatnews.com/?p=2068 ):
The 22passi meeting has ended. There were no real news, but I learned a few things I wasn’t aware of before. It was very interesting to hear Celani talk about LENR research. The project to send Celani and a few other tests to Greece to test the Hyperion is on ice. Defkalion’s proposed protocol was deemed unnecessarily complicated and difficult to work with due to lack of cooling. The Hyperion would have to be throttled quite heavily in these conditions. It would be possible to verify that a LENR is taking place but it wouldn’t be possible to make any conclusions about the commercial usefulness of the Hyperion. Nevertheless, Celani seemed convinced that they’ll let him test the Hyperion. Celani was surprised that CERN showed interest in LENR. He thinks it has something to do with his replication of Arata and his discovery that the temperature coefficient of resistance in a Ni-Cu alloy loaded with hydrogen changes and that this is associated with excess heat. Celani was asked about his secret spectrometric reading in the one e-cat test that he attended. He said that gamma radiation readings were off the chart of the instrument for a moment at about the same time the reactor started. He also took several other secret readings by pretending to go to the bathroom which was nearby. The instability of the emission was a good sign according to him. Back in 1989 the NASA did an interesting experiment but never published. Had they published, the P&F story might have gone differently. They wanted to see what would happen with deuterium gas and without current as opposed to the electrolytic P&F cell. The Hydrogen loading process matched the theory: when hydrogen was loaded into the metal, temperature increased, when it was unloaded temperature decreased. The deuterium loading process did not match theory: the loading produced heat and the unloading as well. These were the things that struck me as particularly interesting. I hope I made no mistake in understanding and remembering them. Anyway, somebody mentioned that the whole talk was filmed by a better camera than the one that streamed, so it should be up on youtube fairly soon, and hopefully with English subtitles.
Cheers, S.A.
