In the first experiment we obtained excess power of about 20 W, while in the second experiment photon emission was observed instead of power production. In the third experiment, a Ni sample in hydrogen underwent thermal excitation and showed an increasing photon emission for a few hours. This experiments shows that the energy production from LENR either comes out as gamma radiation or heat but not both.
