CMNS started (or restarted) with the intent of experimental discussions but it is seldom that, now mostly spinning theories- Seldom any "nuts and bolts". I think the only real forum for nuts and bolts are papers andposters these days. I expect to just write up a simple poster for the meeting and go from there. I am staying busy these days.After all this is all just a "hobby" for me and life goes on. I am hoping to find enough "hot" samples to fill my "jug". The problems are the trade offs in COP, absolute power, temperature,.... I think Mitch got to around 20 with stimulation at MIT but very very low absolute power. I am doing a similar electrical stimulation of loaded powder but with C instead of ceramicseparators to avoid sintering and it allows for greater currents and controls.
Rossi claims to have high power but at lower COP (it gets lower each time I look).You need to be above 5 and preferably above 10 if you have to stimulate the samples.And then you need a big sample for more power. I just never could get much from Un-stimulated gas and Ni. I am stuck with Pd and D, but then the cost is through the rooffor a reasonably large system.

Would you explain what you are proposing there? Ed
