I plan to duplicate the 1998 Focardi Ni-H cell as per
http://www.lenr-canr.org/acrobat/FocardiSlargeexces.pdf except for the
water jacket and confirm or not his reported results.
I have a really nicely fitted out workshop with toys like lathes, mills,
pulse welders, medium and high vacuum pumps, bell jars, and tech toys
like digital scopes, logic analyzers, electronic microscopes, data
recorders, temperature, pH and radiation meters (might need a new one
here), variable AC and DC power supplies, several laptop computers,
video and still digital cameras, etc.
Duplicating the 1998 Focardi cell should not be difficult, especially if
I put my cell, totally wrapped in 2-3 cm of lead, in a old fish tank
full of water and measure the temperature increase of the water. Should
not be that difficult to do non H applied runs and compare with runs
that have H supply turned on. Doing the calorimetry this way to me seems
much simpler as all I need is a fish tank pump and water stirrer to
circulate the water in the fish tank and use say 6 thermocouples around
the tank to get an average water temperature. Then all that is required
to do is to measure the increased water temperature versus applied power
over time with H and no H applied to the cell.
I may be proved wrong but I suspect Rossi's secret powder is nothing
more than an attempt to lead replicators away from the public Focardi
1998 cell results which reportedly only used a solid Ni rod. I also have
a few uni physics professors that would be very interested in having a
look at what is happening inside the Ni rod.
As Vortex seems to be the only group of people who have some experience
in what I'm attempting to do and hopefully will not flame me to death,
any suggestions would be most welcome. I do intent to openly publish the
results as well as cell construction drawings / BOM but do not intent to
commercialize the product as I already have a good day job in the power
industry.
