                This is not bad news... this establishes a baseline if your
calcs agree with a conventional explanation

For anyone pursuing this, even in the simplest "hobby" kind of way, it
should pay-off to employ some of Celani's technique (or that of other Ni-H
experimenters, like Mills) even though you are doing electrolysis instead of
gas phase.  That would be instead of the very simplest approach, which is
unlikely to show measurable gain... 

For instance, the plating of coins with electroless nickel might make a
difference, especially in the AC version. "Electroless nickel," as the name
implies is a non-electrical chemical technique to deposit layers of mostly
nickel - either a phosphorus or boron alloy - onto an uncharged substrate.
The substrate may be worth only 5 cents, but boron could be... well, in the
words of MasterCard... priceless. 

If Chuck is correct, then getting boron into the surface of the electrode is
probably necessary, so why fool around with borax? I think that anyone who
has studied Celani, Mills and the others going back to Thermacore, can fill
in the blanks from there on ...
