Andrea Rossi Vindicated? Cold Fusion Takes Another Step Towards Credibility

[MarkE]

So far this looks like very good work and makes all the nonsense from: Rossi, Levy et-al, and Parkhomov sad jokes by comparison.  Your attention to setting up a consistent and reliable basis of comparison between a null control and the unit under test is what everyone who wishes to perform a meaningful experiment should do, but sadly many do not.

Vortex1:' I have a container design that will satisfy the problem.'

make sure that the material composition of this container is 100% impermeable at elevated temps.an easier option might be to try detect anomalies in an electroysis cell with lithium salt shoved in sol?

Thanks for the kind support, MarkE

There are many enhancements that I have not yet pursued, such as monitoring heater currents and automatic trimming to insure current balance during characterization and run time, but was able to get very close initial results just by hand trimming the turns count on the heaters.

With the loss to ambient method at such high temperatures, water calorimetry is really not necessary, and can always be done later, after the proof of concept is established.

This particular photo is an early heater test, running open loop under manual control, just to test the approximate heater size needed.

Other option is the bomb method ala blacklightpower inc with their NaH/Ni.simpler the better I always say

Yes a simple heater and thermocouple assembly, can be run safely at a distance, just bring it up to temperature, let it cook a while then cut the power. The rate of fall will tell all (compared to the dummy ballistic from an earlier run). I like the simpler methods, but had all the stuff to build the "control" so why not run them together.

Do you have a link to the blacklight power work?
