This is not true. There are many physical and chemical thing happening that set the stage for LENR, and just because the stage has been set, it doesn't mean the show started. The chemical changes are the dissociation of the LiAlH4 and the dissolving of the Ni (at higher temperatures). The physic

One of the things not sampled in the Lugano experiment is the product gas or gas ash. This may have very important clues to the nature of the reaction. In my replication (under construction), I intend to be able to collect the product gas for analysis off-site. We could find enhanced deuterium,

This is a wonderful video, so thanks for pointing us to watch it. However, the molten Li-Al is not in a super-critical phase, but as he said, it doesn't have to be supercritical - just hot and high pressure. He also demonstrated a chemical mixing that produced nanoparticles as a precipitate. Tha

This is completely wrong. The micrographs of the Ni ash in the MFMP experiment were the same as the Lugano Ni ash. There was no explosion in the Lugano experiment. Also, from personal experience, when Ni is heated in H2, it is fully oxide free by 250C and by 300C the sintering of the particles b

There is no hydrogen plasma or lithium vapor for that matter. Lithium at that pressure will not boil at the temperatures being used. If you read Langmuir's work, you will see that it takes over 2500C for any significant hydrogen molecule dissociation, and it would be much hotter still to get a hy

Yes, that is correct. We do not have an SEM of Parkhomov's Ni particles. You don't know that they were not similar to MFMP's. However, the same thing happened to Parkhomov's particles as the MFMP particles - they were covered with liquid Li-Al-Ni-H at the time of the reaction and the fine feature
