Mike,
If anyone has seen Mills' standard NDA, this is laughable since there is absolutely no way that any of these tests are "independent". It is a sad mischaracterization to say, or imply, independence. But of course, the strong NDA and payment for services does not mean that the tests cannot be accurate, and they may be accurate, only that they are FAR from independent. Others can make of that what you will but beware - the independent tests stopped with Thermacore, circa 1995. Actually I have never expressed the view that Mills does not show an energy anomaly. In all probability he does. My contention is that the anomaly is clearly LENR related - and that Mills is in denial that his reaction is a predecessor condition for optimizing LENR. From: Mike Carrell This chapter is dedicated to Jones, others are welcome as well. Please read: http://www.blacklightpower.com/wp-content/uploads/presentations/TechnicalPre sentation.pdf http://www.blacklightpower.com/wp-content/uploads/pdf/GEN3_Harvard.pdf In the Technical Presentation, read pp. 2-3, and 23-31 [but anything else that suits your fancy]. The first two pages of the Technical Presentation is a terse summary of GUTCP. Page 23 is a listing of methods identifying hydrinos. The following pages discuss the conditions wherein H can act as a catalyst. The potential energy of an isolated H atom is 13.6 eV. The energy of the catalyst must be m(27.2] eV. Such can be supplied by many arrangements, including 2H.2H > H{1/4] + 2H + 24 eV. Because this is a three-body reaction, it is seen only where here is a high concentration of H atoms [such as at the cathode of in electrolytic cell in the apparatus on p.30. [I speculate that H > [h[1/4] catalysis may be a source of 'excess heat' in CF electrolytic cell experiments. This is my conjecture.] The cited pages above contain the core of the CIHT chemistry. The apparatus illustrated on p.30 was built by BLP, but the reported study and the spectrum of p.31 came from a study sponsored by GEN3 Partners at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. None were employees of LP. An intense beam of protons is illuminated by an intense bam of electrons, which combine to form a cloud hydrogen atoms in which many interactions can occur. The light from these reactions is in the low nanometer range of soft X-rays. The spectrum is recorded by a vacuuc spectrometer. No continuum spectrum was produced by helium. The six 'Validation' reports on the website deserve respectful attention. Although on-site and coached by Mills, the 'validators' built he cells themselves and conducted tests with instruments whose calibrations are traceable to NIST. The reports and resumes are on the .website. Over the years experiments by Dr. Conrads in Germany, and Dr. Jonathan Phillips, U. New Mexico, have done supporting experiments. One of the six 'validaors', ENSER corporation, went on to off-site, independent validation of the CIHT cell operation. Their new report is on the BLP website. "Independent verification" is a gold standard. Over the years several groups have 'tested' Mills' claims. However, they did not *duplicated*the instruments or protocols, effectively doing *another* non-Mills experiment. Mike Carrell
