Jones, As you have discussed, the Type A Pd that appears to be LENR active is an actual alloy. In an alloy you expect an atomic level crystal lattice alteration - the lattice constants of the alloy are uniform and different than with Pd alone. However, what you describe as a "mechanical alloy"

Now at 15:15 local time for the researchers, the test has been running for 45 minutes. The rolling average COP=1.04 and perhaps is climbing slowly. This test is using the heat exchanger with the flow calorimetry being run on the cooling water side of the heat exchanger (not the reactor side).

I believe the Monday test is just being setup. Apparently Me356 has setup a freshly prepared reactor for today's test. MFMP is using 2 different high-end power analyzers for measurement of the input power. To Me356's credit, he has worked hard to accommodate the continued testing even though

The first MFMP test of the Me356 reactor was a steam sparge test that was asked for by Jed Rothwell. The reactor's output steam+entrained water were cooled in a bucket of water and discharged into the bucket. By measuring the temperature rise of the water vs. time, the output power (heat) could

I do not believe the Aura device is a plasma electrolysis system. I believe it is a Ni-H system with a dry reactor that is electrically stimulated. The water is from cooling of the reactor. MFMP will be measuring wall plug power as the input to the Aura device with two different power

This is interesting thinking. The idea that angular momentum, linear momentum, and energy are "conserved" is a hypothesis created and supported (as I understand it) by observation, not by derivation based upon a fundamental principle. While it would be a violation of the hypothesis, trading

My primary observation about the Budko-Korshunov experiment(s) is that it is reporting on a variable space that has never been reported to show XH. The temperature was too low and the pressure was too high to replicate positive experiments with Ni + LiAlH4. The experimenters could not hope to

Jones, In making a "black box" test, one cannot readily change the system control of what is inside the black box. One must be prepared to measure the black box as it is designed to work. If that means water in and steam out, then that is what must be measured accurately. MFMP does not want to

What about the waste products from a hybrid fusion-fission reactor using natural U fuel? Would the neutron source drive the fission products to be either stable elements or to radioisotopes with shorter half life? What about using LENR as the neutron source? Some LENR fuels are reputed to cause

This is a fun discussion, Jones, but an important aspect of this troubles me. You are likening UDD, UDH with sub-ground-state hydrogen; and the way Holmlid defines UDD/UDH, they are unrelated phenomena. Holmlid describes UDD/UDH as forming (near reversably) from Rydberg matter, a well above

I don't think anyone outside of Mills' team can say that he has made even 1W of excess heat from any of his devices. The one quick bomb calorimetry demo done was very crude calorimetry, was not believable, and a paper was not published on it. If Mills wants to convince his critics, he should

The predicted properties of the hydrino or any sub-ground-state hydrogen suggest that it will be really hard to detect. According to Meulenberg, these states lack sufficient angular momentum to have a photon transaction. Thus, the hydrino hydrogen would not have telltale absorption spectra of
