I will look for the older references.  Certainly Jed has most of them in the lenr-canr.org database.  Parkhomov's work stemmed from the Lugano report on Rossi's hotCat - where Parkhomov, a retired Russian physicist, deduced the fuel as primarily Ni + LAH, and tried it.  He saw credible excess

First of all, did you notice that Parkhomov doubled his Ni charge from 1g to 2g? So, there is some scaling being tested. We don't really know if this reaction scales linearly with the fuel mass or squared or exponential or what. There was a report by Jones recently of a large scale runaway, so

Can someone post a link to something in the way of earlier work, which might give an overview of this experiment and this approach? I came in late to the show, and I'm confused as to what the reaction is even believed to be here. It's also apparent that some major chemical stuff was going on

Nice work, Bob ! on the experiment and the translation. Hat’s off to Parkhomov for an improved experiment. A certain amount of consistency is emerging from this testing. This adds substance to several other findings that there is slight gain – COP of about 1.1 in the Parkhomov type reactor

Thank you Bob for this nice translation. Shame there is no pressure measurements reported hence there was a transducer. Did they have problem with it? From Me356, pressure is a key ppint to control for the road to success in Ni/H LENR experiment. COP 1.1~1.3 is below what Parkhomov had

Thanks! Good translating. He seems to be improving his calorimetry. The results are impressive if real. Let me copy them here, for convenience -- Results: * A flow calorimeter was constructed having a computer acquired flow and temperatures at the inlet and outlet. Calibration measurements
