Dennis did not explicitly say that an H & D mix was required, but I believe that his theory and his own experiments have led him to mostly use a 50:50 mix in his present experiments. He showed me a Ni based experiment that he had setup, which he turned on while I was visiting. Before I left, his

I have moved west, and Dennis Cravens is just a couple miles away. I visited him recently. In his lab he still has long term tests operating with his spheres (of course, along with other experiments in progress). He said that he charged a HydroStik and then froze it at dry ice temperature. At t

I think it is much more likely that Rossi's reaction is positive feedback when operating, is chaotic in nature (discontinuous), and requires a temperature threshold for the reaction to work. First, positive feedback - when the temperature is higher the reaction rate is higher, causing the temperat

As an engineer, I would love to take on that product challenge. I am moving to a "cold climate" area. Cold climate heat pumps still only produce a COP of about 2-3 and have a lot of control to keep the exchanger from becoming frozen (frequent defrost cycles). It is a split unit that still needs

If true, that is one heck of a claim - they would be claiming an over-unity COP of 443 (44300%). I checked the math. 2797 SCF of H2 - IS - equivalent to 221.5 kWH. What I think is probably wrong is the 500W input - it must be a typo. They must mean 500kW input. This would put their COP to be 4
