The usual black pot witch's brew -- ah, yes, severe corrosion -- would Heffner or Cude like to give this one a close shave -- more details than Rossi -- be fun to practice on something new -- any followup research by anyone?

Note: We are grateful to the authors and to the University of Hawaii for permission to print this important technical paper in full in this issue of Fusion Facts. Given the very large energy yields and the potential application to amuch wider group of alloys, the editors believe this to be one of the most important papers to be given at a cold fusion symposiumsince the initial announcement by Fleischmann and Pons of the discovery of cold fusion (March 23, 1989). ABSTRACT An investigation of elevated-temperature excess heat production in the Ti-D and Pd-D systems is presented here. A eutectic LiCl- KCl molten salt saturated with LiD is used as the electrolyte in a Pd/Al or Ti/Al electrochemical cell. Typical operating temperatures are around 370°C, which results in faster kinetics compared to room temperature operation. If this system can be developed for utility applications, high-grade heat and high thermodynamic efficiencies can be expected. Since the electrolyte provides a very reducing environment, metal surface oxides are readily removed; thus, this unique system offers the possibility ofusing less expensive materials than Pd. Amodified isoperibol calorimeter was built for the excess power measurements. Preliminary results show high levels of excess power output, especially in the Pd-D system, although the effect remains sporadic.
