One of the cool things about Ni-H LENR is that it has the potential to make Bussard Ramjets more feasible (assuming it is H-H fusion as now seems most likely). A Bussard Ramjet is a Rocket that scoops up hydrogen from the interstellar medium using a vast magnetic and/or electrostatic field, then

Just how hard would it be to detect if Deuterium is the product in Ni-H LENR? I don't have good data on P-P=D fusion, but based on mass difference it releases about 2.31e-13J/deuteron formed. Assuming that to really produce a strong Deuterium signal in needs to double in concentration from about

Neutrons are hard to shield and when absorbed can produce radioactive materials. Could this be a potentially killer blow to otherwise safe LENR? Fission reactors typically create up to 10^13 neutrons per cm² per second, and this experiment was only making about 20 per s, over (I assume) the

From those numbers (30°C room, 120°C at 48W and 140°C when LENR active) I calculate 16W excess if you assume all radiative heat transfer. But it will actually be slightly less than that because the hotter tube surface will convect heat away at a rate that is roughly proportional to the air to

Probably the most sensible solution is that the atmosphere was significantly thicker. 30% less heat input would drop the earth's temperature by about 20°C, but 20% more mass of air would increase the temperature by about 20°C at ground level. We know that during the age of the dinosaurs that

Wire diameter 0.2mm, 1000mm long gives 0.031cm³, or about 500W/cm³, you were off by a factor of about 1000. It is likely that not the whole thickness is active, and this is only early days in development, not even running at high temperature yet. On 15 August 2012 02:23, Daniel Rocha
