Yes. This remark was in reference to earlier work, like Orinani etc. > By the way, I suggest my calorimeters are the most accurate now being used, with an error of ±20 mW over the range of 0-25 watts of applied power. In addition, it takes about 2 minutes to install a new sample. Can you beat that Scott? I will describe the calorimeters at ICCF-12. Well, may I suggest to you Ed - if and when you have a lull in your experimentation, that it would be interesting and possible fruitful to do calorimetry on these batteries. For one thing - if you are sucessful in pinpointing a possible source for these costly failures - that might lead to an alternative funding source - as well as some further recognition that slight OU is possible from "normal" processes. > It is my understanding that normal water contains 6000 ppm of D2O, not 300 ppm. Sorry, I dropped a zero. I believe that there is a range and 6000 would be an upper limit. > Experiments show that even a small amount of H2O in D2O will > kill heat being produced from a F-P cell. Yes but there is also experimentation which shows the exact opposite - a benefit from sequential light water electrolysis following heavy. Mizuno comes to mind - although this is not in the exact F-P confiuration, There are a number of reasons why lithium alone could experience LENR with or without the benefit of D2. I for one would really like to know if the battery situation is proof of this. Jones
