An approach would be to make a pile of carbon material that includes a wide range of sizes, and add deuterium, say. Does anything unusual happen? Any heating, any helium? Even if heating is not measurable, if it sits there long enough, enough helium might accumulate to be measurable, compared to controls.
I believe what you are saying is what NASA is doing. If you remember, Abd ul-Rahman Lomax said in this thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/vortex-l@eskimo.com/msg66128.html *But the title of this thread is Zawodny's video. Zawodny is apparently doing the kind of thing I've long been suggesting: massive parallel experimentation. I mostly thought of parallel identical cells, essentially manufactured, but his design of what appears to be "experiments on a chip" could be even more powerful. That all the "cells" are created by the same process is a powerful approach. However, he will still need to make and test multiple devices, i.e., many of these multi-cell chips.* This is the NASA video which shows the chip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBjA5LLraX0 The stuff on the chip are various sizes of nanotubes (SWNT), The color of nanotubes changes with their size and electronic properties: See: http://chemlinks.beloit.edu/classes/nanotech/CNT/mattoday10_12_59.pdf Note figure 2 *Fig. 2 Following DGU and fractionation, optically pure SWNT samples are **isolated into distinct cuvettes. The color differences between the vials provide **evidence for successful sorting of SWNTs by physical and electronic structure.* NASA is testing the performance of different SWNT nanotubes with regards to LENR performance as SWNT sizes and diameters vary.
