Mike,
I have mentioned this several times. What, if anything do you want to
do with the paper I wrote at your house titled "Responses to DoE
Review Panel Comments." It is sitting on my desk gathering digital dust.
People have not submitted papers to LENR-CANR lately and I do not
feel like scanning all papers so I would like to upload this just
keep things moving.
Questions:
1. Do you want to be listed as co-author?
2. These paragraphs from page 2 is incomplete:
Claim 1.3. "A second paper (Mengoli et al.) is included which reports
small power outputs, thus clearly contradicting the 1993 letter, but
at a level still in conflict with other results."
Mengoli reported energy densities of XXXX and more importantly,
reported production of excess enthalpy in the absence of input power
at power densities of YYY. [M. 1998, experiment 4, table XXX]) [7]
Ref 7. is Mengoli, G., et al., Calorimetry close to the boiling
temperature of the D2O/Pd electrolytic system. J. Electroanal. Chem.,
1998. 444: p. 155.
I am looking at this paper, which I find rather confusing, and I do
not see where it mention energy density per se. I guess I should
compute this . . . which I am likely to do wrong. So either you
should do it or you should check my answer.
The paper is confusing because it uses all kinds of terminology and
subscripted variable notation that I get confused about every time I
try to read the paper. It uses the term "o.c." (open circuit) to mean
heat after death. Experiment 4 is described in table 4 page 164. The
headings are as follows, and poorly noted:
I / mA Current in milli-amperes? Why use a slash "/"?
j /mA cm-2 Joules per or in milli-ampere per square centimeter?
"Joule power accomplishing electrolysis" (p. 159)? Power is measured
in watts, not joules. I don't get it.
PE / W Excess power in watts?
Pj / W ???
Pex(m) Excess heat power, evidently. Or maybe "apparent excess
power." (p. 164) What is "m"?
Pex(c) Real power. Power corrected for electrolysis, evidently.
Pexc(x) / Pj /% No idea, honestly. Power in Joules would be energy, I
suppose, not power.
The last row is for heat after death.
I have to go out. I will call after 1:00 p.m. and perhaps you can
walk me through this.
