That's 'cause there is no input! It is all heat after death (as we call it). It resembles Arata's first experiments with Zr-Ni. Cravens does have to heat up the whole environment, presumably because Ni does not absorb H at lower temperatures, but he heats up the blank in the same environment, to the same extent, so this is the local ambient temperature. There is no extra heat or stimulation going into the cold fusion cell. It is a splendid demonstration. One of the best in the history of the field. It is a lot better than Dennis himself realizes, I think. He told me he sees little difference between this and some of the other leading experiments. I pointed out some crucial differences: 1. This is heat after death; no input. Like Arata, as I said, only way better calorimetry. 2. The heat is stable. That's important! 3. It uses cheap, widely available materials, like Rossi. 4. It appears to be reproducible. I hope it is. - Jed
