Well, that is good - but they should probably use neon instead of helium in control cells and absolutely fresh nichrome (never exposed to hydrogen),
As mentioned earlier, the first proton in any nickel alloy will bury itself in the FCC crystal and cannot be removed without actually melting the wire. It becomes an actual alloy and a strong alloy at that. If the nichrome was ever exposed to hydrogen, it should not be used as a control since it can and probably will be a nickel-hydrogen alloy in the ratio of 14:1. That low percentage of hydrogen may limit its excess heat capability, but not eliminate it. Also helium can be active for Lamb shift manipulation, according to a few theorists. IIRC helium is mentioned in the Haisch patent. http://aias.us/documents/uft/paper86.pdf Therefore a non-active control would consist of virgin nichrome wire in neon. From: H Veeder Yes they are using nichrome and are aware of the issues but they are not using H in control cells. Harry * The US Cell was indicating approximately 1.4 watts excess, again, well above the ~0.5W confidence interval. Very exciting to see something positive and especially simultaneous. Harry, If you are in contact with them - please ask if they are still using nichrome as a control. Nichrome is active for LENR for the same reason that Celani's wires are active - the wires contain Ni-62. In fact, they may contain more than constantan. There are plenty of good alternatives to nichrome - resistance wires which contains no nickel. If Quantum is serious about showing excess heat - then they must move away from using a control which is also active ! Jones
