			<description><![CDATA[@All Thanks for your kind words. Ecco is fine, I am speaking with him. Many people find they need a break from things in their life that they are passionate about to take stock and re-balance. We have been running for over 3 years now and as Ecco has Identified a number of times of late, people are re-discovering information that has already been put forward on this site previously. This is such a multi-disciplin ary field and amazing aggregators of information like ECCO are key to finding patterns in the noise, but sometimes the noise can be too much and the compulsion to decipher waring on the body and mind. Sometimes I wish I were a machine, an entity that only needs power and spare parts to continue to function 24/7 - but the reality is I am not and neither are we all, we are biological and regardless of how much we desire to function at full capacity indefinitely, something will give sooner or later. The good thing is that we are able to recover quickly. The search for the New Fire is a marathon, not a sprint - moreover it is a relay race where each of us can take up the baton, sometimes in parallel to reach the finish line. Ryan shared the baton for a good while and still cheers on from the sidelines and helps keep HUGNet working for those that use it (Alan, Mathieu) whilst he acts to support his family. The reality is there are many more open experimentalist s sharing experiences now than at any time in this fields history. We'll see Ecco soon enough.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@robert greenyer. I hope you have eccos phone number just in case something really exiting happens I am sure he wouldn't mind checking back in if it is significant. Also how long has this site been going seems like I started on it about the same time as Ecco but not for sure he may have been involved much longer though he will be missed. Also what ever happened to Ryan hunt haven't seen him on here in a while? I can totally go along with Ecco on time spent thinking about this I personally will be driving to a certain place down the road and catch my self miles on down a different road and not remember any of it . Good thing I live in a tiny town who knows we're I would end up.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@Stephen: Thanks for that link, interesting. It looks like the presence and loading of hydrogen is important in Celani's case. It might be related as it doesn't need a junction and apparently a temperature gradient increases the effect, but it probably also has a different nature. Unfortunately not many details are available yet on these findings. The conclusions in the Celani paper I previously linked add some more information: ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@Robert Greenyer: in the early days they were made of magnesia (MgO), later on primarily yttrium stabilized zirconia (YSZ). Actually Nernst lamps could be made of any sufficiently conductive ceramics suitable for long term operation at high temperature in air and of manageable electrical properties. Modern ones often use ceramics like Silicon Carbide for convenience since it's conducting at room temperature. Interesting non-wikipedia source: http://www.erittenhouse.org/artitcles/erittenhouse-vol-24-1-2012-2013/the-nernst-lamp/ Interesting excerpt: Bassignana mentioned these glowers in the context of the volume resistivity decreasing with temperature in ceramics like alumina, which he exploited in experiments involving catalysis activated by electric current. This is referring to the EPOC/NEMCA phenomenon I mentioned earlier. If LENR occur by the catalytic production of condensed Rydberg Matter Hydrogen - let's pretend this is like Piantelli's H- for the sake of argument - then any method for enhancing this catalysis is useful. axil axil also wrote on Nernst lamps, back in August (scroll down): http://www.lenr-forum.com/forum/index.php/Thread/1907-What-Exactly-Is-Rossi%E2%80%99s-%E2%80%9CMme-Curie%E2%80%9D-Reactor-%E2%80%94-A-Direct-Source-of-Electricity/?postID=6877#post6877]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@Ecco I saw his response and I think it is an interesting consideration. Can we clarify what kind of ceramic was used in the lamps ... was it Alumina? Then ... how are we to connect to it? Could that be the value of the 3 phase... ie ... having conduction through as discussed between phases and giving the piantelli electrostatic field. Recently I have suggested having one swagelok end connected to a conductor placed into the fuel and held at ground.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@Bob (Re: Getter Pellets) This [was]/is a great idea, Bob. I'm not sure why the idea was shelved/sidelin ed, but if some experimenter doesn't have a separate heat control area, they could try to strategically place the pellet near the edge of the heating zone (if such a place exists), and try to manipulate any residual gas pressure that way. It would be tricky, though!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@Ecco/All (In regards to the possible "dual" compartment/use of the prior Rossi Device and (after visiting lenr-forum for the first time in 2 weeks or so) re-use of Li Source inside cells) With a small modification, Alan could split the heating coils on the GS3 (or 4), and instead of running the dummy side as a control, place a Li charge in there, then possibly we would have an easy way to control the amount of residual H2 Gas during an experiment, by controlling its heater coil separately... ... Just a thought to consider for future work! Also, I have been working on two other things during the past week. 1) Monte Carlo Simulations show that if the Lithium only coats the inner alumina tube wall and not the Ni charge (or perhaps the inner ID of the Ni capsule), it will be very difficult getting sufficient 6.7 MeV protons possibly originating in the Ni carbonyl matrix thru the Ni Sleeve's/Capsul e's wall, being 0.1 mm thick (approx. 0.004"). Definitely, 5 MeV protons won't make it out of the Ni to the Li that is on the ID of the Alumina Tube (more later) Addendum (typos fixed): Parkhomov most likely used 0.001" to 0.002" Steel Shim which would allow much more energetic protons through, if needed. Also (as an extra note), it's true that [Ni] Foils that start to get this thin, can contain micro-pinholes. None of this is implying that allowing energetic protons through, was engineered/desi gned! 2) I have this very strange idea of using ultrasound (acoustic) Imaging/Measure ment to get some idea of what may be going on inside the cell during a run; it appears not to be all that absurd (I have pulled a couple IEEE Papers) where other crazy people (besides us!) worked towards that goal, after coming up with the idea... Actually, I would be very disturbed if someone else hadn't thought about it for these types of experiments already, and I just missed their comments.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@All As said before the extra lithium is expected to soak up the evolved H. If the Al (or Li) takes the bulk of the O and N from the air in the cell, it should be expected that we see vacuum of some level at some point. Regarding the apparent equilibrium at 1 bar. The Wiki for LiAlH4 says for stoichiometric LiAl "2 LiH + 2 Al → 2 LiAl + H2 (R3) R3 is reversible with an equilibrium pressure of about 0.25 bar at 500 °C." But in these high lithium content reactor fuel set-ups, we do not have a 1:1 Li:Al ratio (where LiAl would be solid to just a little under 718ºC) we have a liquid to as low a temperature range as 200-300ºC. An analysis of the cells integrity and further experiments will give us more important data points to work from. Another point to mention from LiH wiki "LiH is a desirable material for shielding nuclear reactors and can be fabricated by casting." http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/002954937490082X]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Well, this isn't typical equilibrium dynamics. This isn't a solution, so the equilibrium only exists at the phase transition which eliminates the equilibrium entirely once past, when Li completely disassociates from the H. When at that phase transition zone, that's when I'd expect there to be oscillations in the pressure as the equilibrium state is completely eliminated, restored, and eliminated again over and over due to temperature flux across the line and back again. It is, actually, a bifurcation zone, when two distinct "attractors" exist at once. Before the zone, hydrogen should just be re-partitioned from LiAlH4 to LiH by combining with the extra Li, and shouldn't show much of a pressure effect in that case. Given the amounts we're talking about here, versus thermal mass, the energy release from hydrogen redistribution will probably not even be visible, and would happen as a small blip at the moment of LiAlH4 dissociation. Note that the kJ/mol of LiH formation is -69.9 (Gibbs free energy), at standard pressure and temperature (STP) of course. This is Really small. For scale, the formation of LiCl is -383.7 kJ/mol (STP), Al2O3 is -1576.5, and CO2 is -137.2. Given that 1 gram of LiAlH4 contains 0.1 moles of H, needing 0.7g Li, you'd get 6.99 kJ at STP (116 W for 1 minute). Also, the free energy of formation for LiAlH4 is -48.4 kJ/mol. So the net energy release for LiH formation from LiAlH4 breakdown is 5.63 kJ (94 W for 1 minute, net, in our previous example); and we don't see the energy drain from the endothermic breakdown of LiAlH4 (-22 W for 1 minute in our previous example), or from the breakdown of LiH later, which will take 69.9 kJ/mol to do. That is, the energy released by LiH formation, we then lose again by breakdown. And none of these events have ever been visible in any of these apparatuses as far as I am away, due to the large thermal mass of reactor compared to reactants.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Although I cannot deny that corrosive events are at work or there may be leakage, the graphs/results lead me to a much simpler explanation to what may be happening with the pressure drops, etc. (which could be wrong!)... Since additional Li is now being introduced (I assume as Li and not LiH, but some of this may still hold true), the straight Lithium may start to gobble up (react) with the evolved H2 Gas (especially above 600 C), suddenly forming LiH, causing a tremendous pressure drop. Now that the pressure drops, the somewhat LiH Li + H2 reversible reaction could oscillate. In me356's case, we see another slight dip in pressure when the power/control is manipulated, slightly later... ... Eventually, much more H2 gas from further/subsequ ent LAH decomposition also occurs and there is enough H2 Gas to satisfy the added Li and the cell continues as usual. Recall also that LiH formation is exothermic... ... For those that have a difficult time grasping the dynamics of an equilibrium reaction, check out the following link. Add about 20 molecules to the "A" side and watch how it behaves: https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/reversible-reactions Am I grossly missing something here, folks? Correct me where I have gone astray! Addendum: This gobbling up of residual H2 Gas would also explain the negative pressure, as available Li scavenges any H2 Gas that it can find (with some H2 being lost thru absorption, etc.), and the original atmospheric gases have all been sequestered, resulting in vacuum conditions (in sealed cells).]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@Ecco I am minded to agree with you Here is a comment from me356 that may add another perspective. "Core tube looks very interesting too. When I have tried to achieve second nickel loading event, then I have played with the heater a lot. Then I think that the tube was perforated by the fuel. But I am not sure if it leaked at the end or not. There are strange marks on it exactly at the bottom and top." Question is - why did it go below zero?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[To synchronize the data with the video, we need a "clapper" mark. The data file has 172550 records, or roughly one per second. So the critical point of interest (00:35) is somewhere around record number 63000. The attached chart shows records 63701-64500. From that we can see that the 'event' happens at record 63878 The data file has eight columns, separated by a single space. Here are data descriptions for the columns, with the graph legend for each: 1) Elapsed in tenths of seconds (not shown on graph) 2) reactor temp "series 1" 3) geiger CPM "series 2" 4) Current (A) "series 3" 5) Voltage (V) "series 4" 6) Power (W) "series 5" 7) PID Set point "series 6" 8] Triac pwm "series 7" Now the pressure data can be synchronized with the other parameters. The gauge indicates in one bar per division. Only one pressure value per minute is available from the video. @ Ecco are you working on that logging - please confirm if you read this. If it's too much I could split the job with you. http://magicsound.us/MFMP/me356_reactor_event_.jpg]]></description>
