Hi Fred,
Boiling water won't quite cut it; 300C needed. You might try the oven in a
pinch,
it might just do it. This is a neat experiment for a variety
of reasons, what are you using for calorimeters?
A related thought: A while back I had it in my head that the surface morphology
could be modified by plating on a PM, I was disappointed to
find that Ni plating on a charged magnet seemed to have
no noticable effect. Isn't that surprising?

Hi Keith,
Boiling hot water should do it, but I'm not going to try it until I get some
more precise measurements with some digital thermometers due in
today or tomorrow.
BTW, the Neodymium magnets are Nickel-Plated which makes for thinking
of it as a Condensed Plasma Interface with magnetic alignment of the
protons/deuterons in the
H2O-HDO-D2O, possibly as well as the stable Nickel 61 isotope. It would
take over 200 Atmospheres of
Metal-D2 gas pressure to come close to it.
I think the gas discharge-metal surface research is knocking at this door,
as is/was
CF Cell Electrolysis D2 loading of Pd.

Hey Fred,
Can you get some of the magnets up to the curie point to
demagnetize them? That would make a much better control
than the ceramics. A propane torch might work on a small
NdFeB, ceramics will break unless you use a furnace.

Agreed. Too much energy invested into getting the effect.
A bit soon to say anything for certain, but the 10 stacked (tissue paper
spacer)
Neodymium super magnets (10 mm OD x 5 mm ID)in 100 grams of distilled H2O
(about ~ 10^19 deuterons/gram H2O) in
well-insulated cups are showing a few degree C temperature rise
over a 48 hour soak. At 1.0 milliwatts it should take 116 hours (4.8 days)
to get 1.0 deg C temperature rise.
A similar well-insulated cup with a ceramic magnet stack is showing
lessor or null results.
I've got about $10.00 US and plenty of free time invested in this thing
so far. But, since the
Neodymium super magnets are only good up to 8o deg C if it pans out I
have an eye on
using it for nuke waste remediation. Maybe.
