From: Jed Rothwell * Here is one of the claims of direct electric power output. I think this is one of the most credible ones.
http://www.lenr-canr.org/acrobat/DavidFselfpolari.pdf This experiment is evidence of electrical current - but not from fusion. They show voltage with H2 and D2 but no voltage with an inert gas. In fact, this is completely expected since it is how hydrogen gas sensors work – by creating a voltage in a semiconductor device. Deuterium is known to create slightly more voltage since it absorbs preferentially in palladium compared to hydrogen. The voltage is from chemical hydriding and is completely expected. Google: MOSFET hydrogen gas sensor. In fact the authors almost admit the obvious, but then go on to ignore their own caution. Quote: “However obviously, as a voltage was seen with the H2 some hydrogen oxidation cannot be ruled out.” Then they get silly, as the power is a few microwatts – but even so they go on to extrapolate that to the power density of the Chicago Pile, which is completely ludicrous, in that it was quenched before exploding. I had to check to see if this was an April fools joke. There is not a scintilla of evidence of fusion, but all is not lost - they now have an expensive hydrogen gas sensor. The Mayor should demand to get his money back.
