The Cookbook is in the signal... [UPDATE#6 - Symphony of the New Fire]

UPDATE#1-The signal...

Thankyou to Ecco, Webscience and Mark for the analysis.

A chart showing missed pulses (because there was too big a burst?). Spot the outlier?

The Plot shows the %age of pulses lost due to pulse overlap versus each Spectrum taken. The Absolute Error Bars are reflective of the Live/Real Time Resolution, given only in seconds.  In lieu of this, the Right Ordinate Scale (thin Olive Bars) shows the actual acquisition/accumulation time of each Spectrum, so that one may see that the longer a Spectrum is taken, the less Lost Pulse %age error there is. There is a tradeoff however, in the fact that shorter Spectrum Periods help further define/differentiate a sudden burst of pulses from the background condition.

This Spectrometer follows the general structure of a Scintillator/MCA.  More information on Pulse Overlap can be found at the following link, although the definitions of various terms need correction/improvement:

The following are useful online references concerning Dead Time or Pulse Overlap (in no particular order):

After the MASSIVE broad band 'turn on' pulse, the excess heat mode is between 0 and 100KeV.

 

The Scintillator does not see below 30KeV and 30-50KeV is attenuated.


Much more detailed photometric analysis is being conducted and will be published later today.

UPDATE#2 - The video...

The team watched this video all the way through for the first time AFTER designing basically an E-Cat following discovery of the emissions.

 

It turns out Rossi had already talked about the what is important to capture the excess heat on the 12 March, 2012 - and even the E-Cat LT runs at "1500ºC" internally

 

UPDATE#4 - The Brilliance of Prof. Sergio Focardi

Whilst it is without doubt Prof. Francesco Piantelli that first discovered the Ni + H system in 1989 as we describe here, it was the long collaboration with one Sergio Focardi that allowed the early blossoming of the understanding of this nascent technology.

Whilst the MFMP had the extreme privilege of a long audience with Piantelli, we were very aware there was another man in the room. Piantelli clearly deeply respected and, in an Italian way one might say loved Sergio - it was also clear that he was moved to tears when recounting his physical and mental degradation through his twilight years. 

He shared with us the following video from 29th April 1994 of Focardi talking about their work together, to demonstrate just what a formidable man he was - you don't need to understand what he is saying to see that he was a shining intellect and an engaging orator.

This paper they produced together https://goo.gl/tn1f7w supports our findings, but in pure Ni + H systems.

What we have shown in a Rossi analogue however, has not been shown by any other party to date, not even Rossi. Since it is data from nature - failing exceptional other explanations that no-one has been able to offer or demonstrate since announcement - it is likely that in time, following our exact procedure as clearly detailed, the same kind of signature will be seen by others. Moreover, when seen, scientist will know they have an active system and can iterate to one that has higher output, be that by modifications to fuel, thermal profile or to the structure and materials used in the reactor design or its enclosure.

More specifically, this work by Focardi/Piantelli et al. does not show any separation between high broad band transitory event prior to onset of 'excess heat' and lower band events during periods of and only in periods of 'excess heat'. The combination of which explains both Celani's hitherto unexplained experience in 2011 and the consistent claims of Rossi. Indeed, the suggestion is that heat and emissions may have been mutually exclusive in their work at times.

This is good historical supporting evidence that allows us to have more confidence in what we are seeing, but it is a very different experiment with neither Li or Al present and conducted at very different temperatures.

UPDATE#5 - Looking under the cats skin, with the help of X-Rays

This "bad hand waving" video, recorded by Bob Greenyer on the 22nd February, discusses the early analysis of the E-Cat that developed between 16-22nd February as a direct result of seeing two shapes of EM radiation emitted from the *GlowStick* 5.2 Experiment.

CORRECTION: When Bob says that Mathieu's associate had said the signal was typical of a beta release, he actually said Bremsstrahlung radiation.

UPDATE#6 - Symphony of the New Fire

The major part of "The Cookbook is in the Signal" announcement will be ultimately contained in the dynamic live document below. Context for the sense of validity of our findings in the *GlowStick* 5.2 will be released into the program sections. We hope you join us in this revelation process, analysing and understanding each step until you see the consistent whole.

Be as critical as you are able, with justified reasoning, where gaps are identified - let us know in the comments and your contribution will be made public and date-stamped. We will endeavour to fill them together - we lit the New Fire together, let's explain it together.

This is your chance to make history the Live Open Science way.
