Abd, do you have information concerning the relative magnitude of the power input drop relative to the nominal value in its absence? Are we speaking of a large percentage change?

It's come to my attention that some researchers have frequently bserved a sudden drop in resistance of electrolytic cells associated ith the onset of XP bursts. I'm seeking to document this. In experiments where there is electrolytic power in constant current ode, this shows up as a drop in voltage, usually shown in reports as drop in input power, if input power is plotted. This seems to appear after substantial periods of stability in resistance. One paper which commented on the drop attributed it to heating of the lectrolyte close to the cathode. If so, this signal shows up before athodic heating has had time to increase cell temperature. The drop s abrupt in what I've seen. There is another possible explanation, though, which would be an ncrease in conductivity in that region due to ionization induced by hort-range charged particle radiation. This radiation could be well elow the Hagelstein limit and still have this effect, if it riginates at or very near the cathode surface. (The "Hagelstein imit" is a limit set by Peter Hagestein in a Naturwissenschaften aper studying the expected behavior of charged particle radiation. he absence of predicted effects from high-energy charged particle adiation led him to set a limit of 20 KeV for substantial charged article radiation from cold fusion experiments. If radiation is the cause, the resistance drop may appear even before he reaction has time to raise the temperature of the electrolyte. Hence I'm requesting communication from researchers regarding xperience with CF electrolysis, in regard to resistance reduction or the lack of same), associated with anomalous heat or other ignals of a nuclear reaction. Thanks in advance.
