Actually, the polarity issue was one of the things that intrigued me about Chuck's results, in the context of AC. With DC and a graphite cathode, the suspicion is that carbon is participating in the heat, BUT Sites says he saw no thermal anomaly with other metals as the anode. Often, in simple ex

I wonder whether anode and cathode are mixed up here. The cathode in such setup generates Hydrogen. Using a coin as cathode enables hydrogen to merge into the coin's metal lattice. Right? On Thu, Sep 20, 2012 at 6:31 PM, Alan J Fletcher wrote: > At 12:25 PM 9/19/2012, Jones Beene wrote: > >> "I

OK Chuck, I'll bite on the AC and nickels. Since I have borax in the medicine cabinet, along with a digital thermometer, 9v AC "wall wart" to cannibalize for the PS, kill-a-watt meter and a couple of hours of time ... everything in fact within a few meters of the computer ... except, dammit, for

I saw your post of that old email, and was kind of embarrassed to see I left out a few details, like my reasoning for Ni and Borax. At the time, I knew Ni to be a good catalyst for some hydrogen reactions, an could absorb good amounts of H into the lattice. Borax is used as a flux for welding

Alan, This is interesting, and we should encourage Chuck to replicate his finding in the modern context - using Celani's experiment as a guide, and with datalogging. It is too simple not to pursue, but anyone trying it should be aware that graphite electrodes will produce excess heat on their own
