2.5 lbs of powered nickel offers a great deal of surface area for heat of
adsorption. Also the nickel powder had been sitting in a vacuum before the
hydrogen gas was added so this would further enhance the adsorption of
hydrogen.

AFAIK this kind of reaction is regularly observed by accident in various

;-)
most don't know they see LENR. they just see they have to redo all again.

Yes, all good reasons to carefully consider the safety of such an
experiment.

Now that you mention it, and realizing how enticing/dangerous it would be to a
certain segment of the population, the hope is that no one gets hurt trying it.
We have seen crazy stunts with thermite and other energetic materials on
YouTube. In a worst case, we are talking about something which
Jones,
Very interesting account. I have occasionally had the fantasy of modifying
a pressure cooker, adding 10 pounds of nickel powder, and adding hydrogen
(after degassing).

Wow so this triggered at room temperature? I wish we new more about this test
and its products, especially with the hindsight of all that's been learnt in
the 20 years since.
It's an interesting topic much needed now. I miss reading these scientific
discussions on vortex-l.

Also most observers of the LENR scene are unaware of the details of a British
1956 patent describing what may be a LENR. Hank Mills has written a good
summary of the invention on E Cat World I believe.
It got by me as a reactor designer i
Dave,
You are not alone – few know of this incident. But it’s not a sensible choice
to base anything regarding the validity of LENR on Rossi’s problems with IH.
The technology will survive, but Rossi’s lack of credibility could taint the
field and impede progress for years.

Is it possible to find another source to back up what you are describing in
this event? A second written record would be fine if available.
