A tiny, TINY amount. There is only an itty-bitty amount of Ni (or Pd) in the whole cell. The excess heat in the last 7 experiments has ranged from 16 to 4,880 kJ, which far exceed the heat of absorption: Input, Output, Excess (kJ) 212, 301, 89 125, 141, 16 1,780, 2,970, 1190 2,390, 2,964, 574 393, 499, 106 3,370, 8,250, 4880 2,860, 3,180, 320 That's a range of 5 to 23 W excess, continuing 18 to 21 hours I think. That is, 2,390 kJ input = 2,390,000 J/31 W = 77,097 seconds, which is 21 hours if I haven't once again misplaced an order of magnitude. Any heat from absorption would be swamped by the heat from 1000 V AC glow discharge. It would be in the noise. There is a lot of hot plasma in there. You can see it in the photos here, taken through the window: http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/MizunoTposterform.pdf That's only 31 W but the electrode goes up to ~170°C at that power level during calibration, and ~270°C with excess heat. The plasma is there most of the time, except during heat after death. He can goose H.A.D. by adding a little more hydrogen gas. The heat shows up immediately with a puff of gas, which it would not do from absorption. Anyway, the nanoparticles are saturated. I'm not saying this is not LENR.

It was pretty bad until he sent me the latest calibrations. It is now moderately good. - Jed
