Tungsten is interesting stuff when used in cold fusion. Hydrogen does not migrate or penetrate into it so many of the Brillouin and WL theories are difficult to support when a tungsten lattice is used in cold fusion, It also has a high melting point so very high temperatures can be produced

One of the criticisms of this high school experiment will come frome and will be based on the formation of various oxides of tungsten. The formation of these oxides will produce excess heat in the range from 130 to 220 Kcal/mol. This chemically derived source of heat should be eliminated by

If this high school reaction is consistent with the Rossi Reaction; a proton based reaction, I suspect that Rhenium is the mainline transmutation product. Since potassium is the not so secret sauce in this high school reaction, it lends credence to the speculation that potassium is also the

To recap the analysis (tired pun based on the Pirelli name) ... these school kids could get a lot of mileage out of a well-conceived experiment. As to the point that this cannot be both a fluidized bed reactor, if it is using gas supported nanopowder and at the same time be a true electrolysis

This is definitely an Ohmori-Mizuno style glow discharge experiment. I heard from one of the authors. It employs confined free powders of tungsten in a reaction chamber by natural convection with a plasma between the powder and an anode jacketed by a porous sintered borosilicate glass filter.
