> H2 system generates photons having enough energy for some to exit the apparatus
I 100% agree that detecting penetrating photons with some sort of GM tube would be the almost ideal sensing scheme... There are several problems with this scheme... its not very precise, ie If one tests an array of 100 potential materials its hard to know exactly which one makes detectable photons... The case for excess heat in wet Pd-D systems seems iron clad. The case for excess heat in dry H-Ni systems seems less iron clad.... The case for detectable photons having enough energy to leave the device as a stand in for excess heat seems even less iron clad... In fact in Dr Storms how to replicate paper he points out that systems that seem to make Tritium do not seem to make excess heat. So if you optimize for maximum penetrating photon emission, its not necessarily 100% correlated with heat... Has the tie between apparatus generating GM detectable penetrating radiation and excess heat in H-Ni systems been demonstrated by others?
