Jones, the Thermacore experiment was done before I was tracking the scene, and I believe Mills and Thermacore had gone their separate ways. You might term it a gas phase experiment because the capillary tubing was internally pressurized. The excess heat reaction occurred in an electrolytic environment with K+ ions the catalyst. For Mills it confirmed his hypothesis, but the energy density was too low to be useful. The gas phase experiments were done at about 1 Torr in a microwave-excited Evanson cavity. This provided a controllable research environment, but still not the needed energy density, which led to solid catalysts. There H and a catalyst are intimate until an activation temperature is reached. An early system based on this was verified at Rowan University with cooperation of the chemistry department.
You have been diligent in highlighting mistakes and dead ends that Mills has encountered: I am also aware of them, but I prefer to highlight the progress.

This was in fact a nickel hydrogen (capillary tube) reactor of Thermacore’s own design, and the study was done for the Air Force at Wright Patterson. This is as close to the Rossi effect as anything seen by others … only it preceded Rossi by over 10 years and it has never been debunked by skeptics. The experiment is stronger than anything even done by Mills IMHO, and there is nothing that comes close from any other third party. The XPS from Lehigh was independent of Mills. _____________________________________________ From: Mike Carrell I don’t know what Jones is attempting to prove by citing a Thermacore electrolytic cell experiment from long ago and neglecting the later years of studies in the gas phase with water bath calorimetery and magnetic resonance spectroscopy of effluent gases which show the presence of hydrinos.
