Padua Cell - did we bake a cake? [UPDATE#1 - Fuel components tested now alongside ash re-test]

The very first 100% Parkhomov supplied fuel reactor the MFMP ran was the Padua cell. It was heated 2 times, once in Padua, Italy and again at me356's place. In total, it ran for far more than 1 week live and for a large proportion of that over 1000C.

Padua cell re-heat

Whilst there were signs that the "active" side ran hotter than the null side, the point of the experiment was to cook the ingredients with a view to seeing if there might be any transmutations and if there were, would they be in line with Rossi's or Parkhomov's related claims.

There were several test arranged by us and done by various 3rd parties of Parkhomov's fuel components that supported Parkhomov's own analysis.

The reactor tube was made of Coorstek 99.8% Al2O3 - no fuel capsule - and there was Air (Nitrogen, Oxygen, Carbon and air based noble gasses) in the cell as it had no vacuum. The heater wire was Kathal.

A student at a Danish university has conducted, at the universities expense, the first analysis of the ash, and here are the results.

Raw quick TOF SIMS report

We are not going to comment too much at this stage on these raw results, we just wanted to get the data out for review.

We have asked for the raw data and have a whole bunch of questions for them. We'd be very happy if you could add your own questions below for us to put to the testing party.

Here is a live document to discuss and learn from the raw report

UPDATE#1 - Fuel components tested now alongside ash re-test

The independent researcher that previously did an initial test of the Padua Cell ash, has since been supplied with samples of the two Parkhomov fuel elements (his LiAlH4 and Russian Nickel powder). 

Here is the raw data

We would appreciate any graphing/analysis prowess the crowd can provide.
