Large heat burst during the period when the gas stream is turned on. This graph shows data after the gas stream is turned off, as I said in my initial messages. > Why is this critical time missing? It is shown in other graphs. Sorry but I cannot upload additional graphs at this time. It took considerable effort to upload this one. I have no reliable internet access, and no other graphs at this time. (Actually, Arata sent them but this computer does not have the software to read them.) >On the face of it, this graph proves nothing. It only shows that >Pd-Zr-Ni reacts more rapidly with D2 than does ZrO2-Pd. The behavior of >H2 is anomalous and makes no sense. It may make more sense after you see more data. It shows a limited amount of excess heat from H2, and much more heat from D2. The burst of heat from both D2 and H2 is in other graphs, as I said. Arata assumes the H2 heat burst is entirely chemical. Please reserve judgment. I regret my inability to communicate. - Jed
