Dave--To answer your question about reactor control I offer the following:
Light water fission reactors using U-235, U-233, and Pu-239 fissionable
isotopes depend on thermal or relatively slow neutrons to react with those
isotopes. The slower the neutron the more likely it will be absorbed by

Great
Your results look very meaningful, Dave.
We are still thinking about the problem of not uniform temperature across
the reactor vessel just after the power pulse are applied, but it seems to
me that you have solved them.
I hope to read the full report very soon.

Peter,
Does this seminar imply that Parkhomov is leaning towards a fractional hydrogen
(hydrino) explanation for the thermal gain, or is his attendance coincidental ?

The parameter that controls the LENR should extend throughout the reacting

Always good to see your blog.

I have been simulating the Mizuno device and adjusting a piecewise linear

If it were 60 W, that would phenomenal. Input power is only 20 W. Anomalous
heat peaks at about 3 W.
Thanks for the information Jed. Of course the average power is much less than
the peak as would be expected. When you drive the heating wire with 20 watts
of power, you are producing a large number of joules of heat during the 500
second period. I believe you said that you get approximately

I need for you to check your model very carefully in order to ensure that I am
using the best value for pump power leakage. Take time to verify that 4.0

Jed, if you review your figure 8 for the Oct 21 test that I am concentrating
upon you will see a plot of the reactor internal temperature. It appears
pretty obvious that the internal temperature is quite high for a short period
of time and not during anywhere near the complete cycle. Also,

Curve fitting is a powerful method of determining system responses. A linear
system can be completely defined by its response to know stimuli. In one case
a pump is adding joules of heat to the coolant, in the other the pump is dead.
