D B Day

On a chilly winters day in Worthing, the UK town where Martin Fleischmann came to live having left Czech, was there a sign that the next 24 hour is D B Day? "See a penny, pick it up, all day long, have good luck"

Overview of the first "fat coils"

am .

[]=Project Dog Bone=[] These coils made by KERFA in Germany have around 23 loops, the heater section is approximately 200mm, the leads 150mm. The wire diameter is approximately 20mm. They are rated to a little over 900W and must be driven at 11.5V. The are made from an alloy principally containing Iron and Chrome.

Sparky Assembly

am .

Skip made a great work on the Sparky Powder Cell during his second visit. Got all the parts, made the needed pieces and assembled and glued them together with the helping Lenka's hands and observed by Ryan's spy eye. You can follow the procedure of making inner cell, guided with his brilliant storytelling voice.

Powder Replacement

am .

In this video we hope you can really feel part of the excellent work being undertaken at HUG. Malachi is at the forefront of swapping out the dummy large particle powder used for the trial run/characterisation of the cell with the Quantum Sphere Inc 10nm powder. He is ably supported by Angie and Ryan. Note the careful use of an argon glove box and other extreme precautions.
