The account at New Energy Times seems garbled to me. I have not heard of an experiment at SRI that produced helium starting from hydrogen. As far as I know, the Ni-H experiments at SRI did not work. I do not recall anyone who looked for helium or deuterium in Ni-H or Pd-H experiments.
As readers here know, Storms thinks that Ni-H produces deuterium. This is typical nonsense from Krivit: Pons reluctantly admitted to reporters that the experimental data he and Fleischmann had accumulated suggested that they had observed excess heat in light-water (H2O) electrolytic cells as well as in heavy-water (D2O) cells. He did not seem "reluctant" to me. He was matter-of-fact. He and Martin often discussed this. These results are described in ICCF1 as I recall and in many other papers. I think it is in "Fire from Ice" too. In other words, this is common knowledge. Storms discussed it too. - Jed
