CMNS started (or restarted) with the intent of experimental

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?
