Re: [Vo]:Of interest - palladium optical anomaly

There is another plasmon friendly based factor at play here. This factor is illustrative in the way Mizuno has advanced his thinking and research over the years in an evolutionary step by step manor. Early on, Mizuno discovered that his reaction benefited from distressing the surface of palladium

FWIW. This detail may have relevance to the Mizuno breakthrough (claimed) … or not. Surface plasmons are a hot topic in physics these days. If surface plasmons are important to the new Mizuno results then the resistance heater which he uses may be an important component, even if it was chosen

Someone wrote to me saying he intends to try to replicate Mizuno's experiment, but at a much higher temperature. I responded: "PLEASE do not make any changes until you have tested the same materials in the same conditions as the original!! Please follow the instructions as closely as you can, and

The reactor definitely uses metal gasket seals. I couldn't remember what metal, but copper sounds right. There's all kinds. See: http://www.wermac.org/gaskets/gaskets.html On Fri, Jun 28, 2019 at 3:58 PM Bob Higgins wrote: > Hi Dave, > > This looks like standard conflat UHV gear to me. The

2019-06-28 Thread Bob Higgins
Hi Dave, This looks like standard conflat UHV gear to me. The typical gasket used for conflats is a fairly thick copper ring that is sealed by compression between knife edges turned into the conflat faces. In absence of a description of a special gasket material, I would presume it is the

In my opinion, the rate at which heat energy is removed from the casing by the airflow is a strong controller of the reaction stability. As expected, as long as the internally generated heat due to the reaction is less than the amount of heat energy escaping through the case at a given

Interesting results. One question I have is what material is used as a gasket between the end flanges and the SS reaction chamber? It is hard to believe that nothing is required to prevent leaks. Dave Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Jed Rothwell Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2019 5:18 PM
