In my version of the experiment, I plan to have samples of temperature, pressure, input current and voltage, radiation count and gamma spectrum, and then I will collect the product gas at the end for offline analysis. Of course the Ni ash will also be collected for examination. This, plus the exis

Re: [Vo]:diversity, one of the 6 pillars of LENR

This is completely wrong. The micrographs of the Ni ash in the MFMP experiment were the same as the Lugano Ni ash. There was no explosion in the Lugano experiment. Also, from personal experience, when Ni is heated in H2, it is fully oxide free by 250C and by 300C the sintering of the particles b

I believe that the reactor would need to run for some time like it did at Lagano for nuclear changes to show up. Maybe the Russian experiment that produced XP ran long enough to show changes. On Wed, Mar 4, 2015 at 12:59 AM, Bob Cook wrote: > Axil and Bob-- > > You both seem to ignore the state

Re: [Vo]:diversity, one of the 6 pillars of LENR

Axil and Bob-- You both seem to ignore the statement from the Lugano experiment that the Ni isotopic concentrations changed during the reaction. It would be nice to get an isotopic analysis of the MFMP and the Parkhomov experiment's Ni powder available after the experiment to see if there are

Re: [Vo]:diversity, one of the 6 pillars of LENR

There is no hydrogen plasma or lithium vapor for that matter. Lithium at that pressure will not boil at the temperatures being used. If you read Langmuir's work, you will see that it takes over 2500C for any significant hydrogen molecule dissociation, and it would be much hotter still to get a hy

I meant exactly what I said. Do I have justification? Yes. The first is that Parkhomov's experiment appears to have worked and I don't' think he made a specific effort to match the Lugano powder size. Second, the Ni is dissolving into the Li-Al-H liquid metal at that temperature, removing the f

Re: [Vo]:diversity, one of the 6 pillars of LENR

Yes, that is correct. We do not have an SEM of Parkhomov's Ni particles. You don't know that they were not similar to MFMP's. However, the same thing happened to Parkhomov's particles as the MFMP particles - they were covered with liquid Li-Al-Ni-H at the time of the reaction and the fine feature

Re: [Vo]:diversity, one of the 6 pillars of LENR

Axil, what you are describing as "proper sized" and "tubercles" are applicable to Rossi's low temperature catalyzed Ni fuel. This is not what was used in the HotCat or Parkhomov experiment. SEM images of the Ni core from the MFMP experiment (Bang!) show that early on the Ni particles are complete

Peter-- Your EGO-OUT report by Axil-Dixit sounds like it was written by Axil Axil who reports frequently on Vortex-l. Axil-Dixit's comments about the non-participating role of Ni in the Ni reaction is NOT borne out by the change of isotopic concentration measured in the Lugano Hot Cat test.

[Vo]: Rossi/Parkhomov reaction and the hydrogen anion

One of the final decomposition products in the fuel bearing LiAlH4 is LiH. LiH decomposes in the 900-1000ºC range to Li metal and hydrogen. Note that LiH is an *ionic hydride*. That means that the hydrogen has more or less permanently grabbed an electron from the Li, making it an H- anion inside
