The vortex group can really put on the heat on occasions. I salute you for planning to actually do a test, but you must realize that Focardi heat treated his nickel in some manner before it worked if I recall. Do not be too surprised if you are not successful at first as that has always been the curse of LENR research.
You are fortunate to have such a well stocked laboratory. Be careful to take into consideration the heat conductivity of hydrogen if you do an A-B test. It is not as simple as it looks to make a system such as this perform. I wish you good luck and stay safe.

I have a really nicely fitted out workshop with toys like lathes, mills, ulse welders, medium and high vacuum pumps, bell jars, and tech toys ike digital scopes, logic analyzers, electronic microscopes, data ecorders, temperature, pH and radiation meters (might need a new one ere), variable AC and DC power supplies, several laptop computers, ideo and still digital cameras, etc. Duplicating the 1998 Focardi cell should not be difficult, especially if put my cell, totally wrapped in 2-3 cm of lead, in a old fish tank ull of water and measure the temperature increase of the water. Should ot be that difficult to do non H applied runs and compare with runs hat have H supply turned on. Doing the calorimetry this way to me seems uch simpler as all I need is a fish tank pump and water stirrer to irculate the water in the fish tank and use say 6 thermocouples around he tank to get an average water temperature. Then all that is required o do is to measure the increased water temperature versus applied power ver time with H and no H applied to the cell. I may be proved wrong but I suspect Rossi's secret powder is nothing ore than an attempt to lead replicators away from the public Focardi 998 cell results which reportedly only used a solid Ni rod. I also have few uni physics professors that would be very interested in having a ook at what is happening inside the Ni rod. As Vortex seems to be the only group of people who have some experience n what I'm attempting to do and hopefully will not flame me to death, ny suggestions would be most welcome. I do intent to openly publish the esults as well as cell construction drawings / BOM but do not intent to ommercialize the product as I already have a good day job in the power ndustry. Aussie Guy
