From: David Roberson The main problem I see with this line of reasoning is that Rossi and DGT are getting positive results. Why would that happen unless the normal hydrogen reacts with nickel directly?
Protium does react directly ! This goes back to the superset hypothesis: which is that there are many routes to gain in LENR. Moreover, D is completely different from H in how it reacts in a metal. Plus, several different reactions can happen at the same time in any experiment. In fact, Mizuno’s results show gain with both H and D. Apparently he thinks D is more active in the extended time frame. There may well be a reaction of D taking place within the system, and if singular hydrogen is the result, then that should start reacting by itself generating heat. Yes. That is completely consistent with these reported results so long as the H reaction does not remove H from the system. If it did remove H, then the gas quantity could not be nearly doubled, as reported. There remain too many questions and it is prudent to consider that this experiment needs to be replicated before the total story unfolds. However, is it ever helpful to ignore well-done experimental results and go silent – especially on what could be the most important LENR experiment since 1989? Before this is replicated, there is almost no valid reason not to look at the various implications. Knowing the implication and appreciating the dynamics of the situation in advance should facilitate more accurate replication attempts. Jones
