Their calorimetry appears to be flawed. They have apparently modified the calorimeter to bring in huge current carrying conductors, and everyone knows that what carries current well also transports heat well… Good point Bob, and good post. There is almost no real science in this Mills’ demo- hype only. The heat carried by these conductors needed to be calibrated out of the reaction, but this was done in a way that did not account for the heat contained in the ejecta of the actual experiment. The result is an overestimation of the heat carried out by the conductors and subsequently an overestimation of the COP. Note also the work of Santilli with similar high current experiments. His work was subsequently reproduced by Kadeisvili. Santilli showed that in high current discharge, LENR transmutation occurred at a reasonably high rate. Yes – I had forgotten about Santilli and magnegas. Santilli is very litigious and has patent protection. Matter of fact -check out Santilli US Patent # 6,540,966. That one precedes Mills by a decade. SunCell will almost certainly need a license from to proceed. Actually – this provides Mills with a convenient excuse to move on to the next round of financing… Jones
