I realize you say the mass 4 species are gone, but that does not mean they are used up in the reaction. They might be absorbed by the metal preferentially, or leaked out. Helium leaks more easily than just about any other gas. It would take an incredibly small amount of fuel for it to be depleted after only 100 MJ. I doubt anyone could measure out such a tiny amount of hydrogen (or deuterium), and even if they did the inside of the cell would be a high vacuum -- which this one is not. It is 10 to 80 Pa. Deuterium fusion yields 345 million megajoules per kilogram, so 100 MJ would be approximately 0.29 milligrams of deuterium. I do not think you can add this much and no more deuterium gas into a cell. I realize the energy from a mixture of hydrogen and deuterium may be different but it is still milligrams. > Average power gain was apparently a factor of 70-75 times more than > Roulette, but it ran for far less time, so net gain was less. > By "gain" do you mean the output to input ratio? Mizuno's is no better than Roulette's. They both measured heat after death, with an infinite ratio. > If Roulette (run 3 and run 4) had been considered to be the “hero” results > for LENR cold fusion prior to the MIT presentation of Yoshino, there is no > doubt that it does not compare favorably now. > Yes, there as has been some progress since 1996. > BTW helium is not mentioned in Roulette and was not found in Mizuno. > I do not know whether they measured helium in France. Those cells may not have been sufficiently gas tight to contain it. - Jed
