I wrote: What is interesting for this particular model (photon transmission through 1cm of nickel) is that reaction channels (0)-(3), which are the deuteron capture reactions, are either not detected or barely detected (keep in mind there was a layer of lead shielding the E-Cat at one point).

Why are the ash products all different between systems? What could explain these differences? DGT has no copper but lots of boron, beryllium, and lithium. Rossi has iron and copper, Piantelli has a mix. Mizuno has helium and copper. It is safe to say that no two LENR systems have the same ash

In the past, following the many statements compiled by Gary Wright of Rossi saying that they were seeing significant amounts of copper, I have argued in favor of a proton capture reaction in the NiH system. I argued this not out of a strong conviction that this was the case, but out of a desire

I've had a chance to revisit the earlier model of photon transmission from the E-Cat through various media and incorporate some new features. Now decay half-lives and detector efficiency are factored in. Here is what I'm seeing for 1cm of nickel: Photons from a total of 7e+14 transitions per

radiation for potential reactions in an NiH system I was curious what the numbers would look like for a range of possible reactions in an NiH system if the only two assumptions that were made were that nuclear reactions are the main show in NiH LENR and that somehow there is a way to overcome

Hi Eric, Nice spreadsheet. I like how it captures a lot of considerations in one place. Have you considered adding the reactions that would include a delta in atomic number of 2N? Seems like there were trends in experiment reports showing transmutations by integer multiples of 2 in atomic

Hi Bob, Good comments. Replies inline. Just to mention it again, the model is no more than a back-of-the-envelope estimate. I'm guessing a rigorous treatment would do a lot of things differently. Eric On Sun, Sep 7, 2014 at 2:23 AM, Bob Cook frobertc...@hotmail.com wrote: The first
