VERY good work from Violante. I hope they look at the Ag and Y alloy with Pd. Yes, you don't have to be in the kW to have very important work. In fact, levels past about 250W start to get complicated and hard to use. I have never seen anything over 250W where I felt comfortable about the all measurements. There was always a lot of question marks. 50-200 mW is Ok. 1 to 100 W is great to work with - easy to control dumping heat, controlling input temps, having multiple checks on measurements,....... And if you ever try to play the convert heat to electricity game- you just about have to be either in the 10 to 250 W range or the >4kW thermal range for existing off the shelf conversion.

Cold fusion is cold fusion. The smallest Pd-D effect is probably the same as what Rossi observes. Research into milliwatt-level effects is just as likely to answer important questions and reveal the mechanism as Rossi's kilowatt-level reactions are. The history of science bears this out. The only reason kilowatt-level reactions are better is because they encourage people to think the reaction might become a practical source of energy, so they attract funding. Here is an example of materials science done with the small reactions. This could eventually be as fruitful as anything Rossi is doing: https://mospace.umsystem.edu/xmlui/bitstream/handle/10355/36833/ExcessPowerDuringElectrochemical.pdf - Jed
