Jack Cole has made progress in his continuing effort to reach higher COP at lower temperature in a ceramic cell of the type used by Parkhomov and Rossi.
http://www.lenr-coldfusion.com/2015/02/09/excess-heating-alternative-hydroge n-source/ The results are improved but still only slightly gainful -not far enough above the noise level to expect others to drop everything and pay attention, yet . but heck, look at it this way - the delta-t gain is improved by about 50% over the previous iteration - and at that rate of improvement, it will not take long. A goal of COP=1.5 is in range with only a few more changes. In fact, Jack held back on the hydrogen carrier (TiH2) due to the MFMP "explosion" and therein is an obvious way to look for further improvement. The most notable feature is that gain was seen at very modest P-in which is due in part to thermal insulation. Jones PS - there is a paper in the LENR library by Dash et al where the authors state that titanium is more active for LENR than palladium. Therefore using TiH2 to carry hydrogen, while retaining lithium in a much safer form is almost a no-brainer.
