Hi Folks, Failed to repeat this in a subsequent experiment yesterday. For some reason, I had poor hydrogen production. Will try again next week when I receive more alumina tubes. Quite interesting was the lack of the variability in the resistance of the heating coil in this experiment versus

Jack, the very best of luck. *Fleischmann*/*Pons* detected RF when their cell was in operation. I suspect that RF is a reaction byproduct in the same way as heat. Do you plan to check for R product by the LENR reaction?. A RF detecter can be had at a reasonable cost
