Thanks Jack for the find. Good info. I love the idea of doing a CF experiment via an Android phone app. Just add a couple of thermistors and a hacked together current and voltage multi-meter function and you will have all necessary measurements for calorimetry data collection. How is the experiment going by the way? For the DC/AC do charge the nickel with H. So, on the DC cycle, you will want to nickel to be Cathod (-) this time. The idea with the AC, is you want as much hydrogen stuffed into the niickel lattice as you can get initially. Once the surface lattice is loaded several atoms deep, switch the current to AC.
Summery; start high-current DC with Nickel as the Cathode (-) to infuse H into the Nickel lattice. Then apply AC to alternate the electro-motive forces on the H in the lattice. If you using two nickels in the AC/DC experiment, then the nickel on the (-) cathode should get hot during the AC cycle. The purpose of the AC is to create an EMF that will vibrate the H such that fusion probability increases.
