Quote: "Solids found in the cell after the reaction were analyzed. Before the experiment, the carbon in the cell was 99% 12C, but after heat was produced in the example shown in Fig. 20, more than 50% of the carbon in the phenanthrene sample was 13C+." conversion of 50% of 1 gm of phenanthrene (i.e. 0.5 gm) from C12 -> C13 through the addition of Hydrogen and consequent decay of N13 -> C13 would have produced 190 kW of power for an entire run of 80 ks. Clearly either the energy mostly escaped in an undetectable form, or C13 was not the (only) product. I would only be able to explain the former through neutrino/anti-neutrino pair production, which as far as I am aware doesn't exist as a means of dissipating energy. The latter could be as simple as the measurement of a molecular ion, or as complicated as a mass shift reaction where the mass shifts between nuclei rather than being converted to energy (you can also think of this as a combined exothermic/endothermic reaction). Of course, if you really want to get exotic, then perhaps the energy disappeared through a microscopic worm hole? :^) BTW more useful would have been a measurement of the gamma ray spectrum. That could have told us something about the possible reactions taking place. Quote:- "Helium gas, a platinum mesh, and phenanthrene." I am surprised that this control produced nothing, since one would expect some H2 to have come from the phenanthrene itself. Jed, what is "zeorite" (zeolite?)?
