It would have been interesting to see a assay of the elements present in the sample before an after the experiment. This is a means to find out if any transmutation resulted from the experiment. Did the gas pressure inside the test cell increase? Was helium produced?
It would be interesting to see how long this heat anomaly lasted in a long duration experiment, an experiment lasting months. Also, it would have been interesting to see if excess heat corresponded with the production of magnetic fields in and around the sample. Did the experiment produce excess charge? Was the surface of the gold containment affected by the reaction...pitting or decrease in smoothness? Was alpha and/or beta particles and/or neutrons seen? Was super-fluidity in heat production or reduction in electric resistance seen through the sample? Did the Fe used show and increase in magnetization level as a result of the experiment?
