Well on second look, at day 32, the internal helium pressure at 1200 C is about 2000 psi if indeed the Lugano excess heat calculation was correct (it wasn’t) which could arguably have been tolerated by the reactor. About 0.03 moles of helium would have been produced at 8 MeV per atom to give the 1.5 MW-hrs of dissipated excess heat, but as we know the Lugano excess heat calculation was grossly inflated by the incompetence of the Levi team.
If the COP was closer to 1.5 as I suspect, then there would have been far less internal pressure from the accumulated helium – if lithium fusion was responsible. Thus, lithium fusion is not ruled out by pressure considerations. (but is ruled out by lack of gammas) From: Jones Beene Blaze- Disregard previous numbers. I’ll try to calculate the internal pressure at day 30 another way. The point remains that if lithium fusion is responsible for the gain, lots of helium needs to have been produced and the reactor probably could not have tolerated the pressure. From: Blaze Spinnaker Ø Jones, it is possible that helium was observed and was originally discounted as error. That happens. Not when this much claimed energy has been seen. Think about the implications. The Lugano experiment supposedly generated 2 kW excess for 30+ days. This is about 10^28 eV equivalent. If all this energy was coming from helium, as a result of lithium fusion, at 16 MeV a pop, then it amounts to several moles of gas. A mole of helium fills about 25 liters at room temp - so this would have been about 50 liters of helium. Even if they overestimated the gain by a factor of 10, and the excess was 200 watts, the reactor could not have survived the internal pressure. Anyway – the Lugano report was supposed to be a scientific paper. You do not discount or hide anything – you report and let the chips fall where they may. It is highly improbably that lithium fusion to helium is the power source behind this reactor, but it looks like pure Li-6 was intentionally added to natural LAH. That narrows the possibilities. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Surprise, surprise. Fresh on the heels of a paper which suggests that lots of helium should have been found, Rossi suddenly reveals that yes, we found it but are just now taking the opportunity to reveal that we found it. http://www.e-catworld.com/2015/04/08/rossi-helium-found-in-e-cat-reaction/ I do not believe this new revelation is credible, based on the appearance of the paper and the timing, since he has never before said that helium was discovered. The guy is desperate for credibility.
