Harry, when PdD is placed in air, it will generate heat as the D
reacts with oxygen in the air. This reaction is very exothermic, it is
caused by a chemical reaction, and has no relationship to LENR.

The papers from Harwell and the German group were looking at
calorimetry and electrochemistry too, if I recall.
Harwell discussed their own calorimetry. It was not a critique of
Fleischmann's. Fleischmann and Melich visited Harwell. The people
there were very open and cooperative. They gave Fleischmann all of
their data and one of their cells to evaluate. By the time he
visited the program was finished and the lab was getting ready to
close.
I do not know what German group you refer to.
The German group I'm thinking of (there was more than one group in
Germany) loaded a slab of palladium and set it on a block of wood
and burned a black mark into the wood, making the point that
palladium can get quite hot when the hydrogen escapes from it.
Everyone knows that.

I didn't know that. Was the slab of Pd much larger than the Pd
electrode used by P&F?
