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 and
posters these days.

The subject is theory now but any discussion of nuts and bolts would be welcome. You only need to create the interest.

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 ceramic separators 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 roof
for a reasonably large system. (however, additives seem to help)

The big question is WHY is this effect so difficult to cause and WHY is the amount so small? This question requires a theory to answer. Do you have an answer?

Dennis, the CMNS group is the proper forum. Would you explain what you are proposing there?
