Initial tests will use only Ni and Ag powders, to see if extended ball-milling can create a nano-scale amalgam where true alloying is not possible. The first test run is now underway, and details can be seen in the Google Live Doc at https://goo.gl/rTDz87 AlanG On 7/1/2017 2:25 AM, Eric

Worth mentioning: "tritium" or something that looks like it - has been detected in Ni-H experiments going back to the early 1990s and these experiments were unpowered! Where is tritium coming from? Ignoring the small deuterium content of tanked hydrogen for argument's sake, a valid question

Thanks. There is interesting information there. Armanet suggests that an equivalent of PdAg for LENR could be NiMn (as opposed to NiAg). Apparently this relates to a similarity in geometric spacing in the crystal. This equivalency may assume that the only purpose of the silver is to
