Interesting. We can speculate about everything else but given that the shielding numbers are at least somewhat non-supportive of the device being real we can't speculate about that. We have Ni. We have protons. It should be possible to come up with at least a minimum level of radiation given the re...

Kiteman: are you talking about using this site http://www.nndc.bnl.gov/qcalc/ ? If so, I just put in Target: "Ni62" and Projectile: "p" and left the other fields blank (defaults to zero beam energy and no ejectile and it spat something out ... how physical is that I wonder? As an aside, I am mightil...

Now you know my method. Run your own numbers. Show your work.
Where did you start? You haven't got any number for the radiation you are stopping so you just said 10cm lead should do it? ... How does that work?

MSimon: Any metal, any hydrogen isotope? Analogous to combustion. Is this a question or statement or what ?? In case I understand what you are asking, I'll answer ... Piantelli has said the reaction can take place with H gas (protons) and any of the transition metals elements. He has also said it ca...

MSimon: you're ramblings have become incoherent (who said anything about Ni -> Pd of H -> D transmutation?) and off topic (chips, really?) ... so I'll just stop encouraging you. quixote: thanks muchly again. So I wasn't too far out but energy can definitely be released from proton + Fe-56 fusion, 6 ...

Rossi has not said no radiation, no matter how many times you repeat that it won't make it true .... and it isn't the first time it has been spoon fed to you either. And anyway you don't believe Rossi so he is probably lying about that to in your estimate. Rossi has said no radiation above backgroun...

Seems like you still don't get the difference between EMC2 and Rossi......
So two standards for scientific proof or more ... a spectrum of scepticism?

Icarus, might be some relevant info and links for you. http://www.talk-polywell.org/bb/viewtopic.php?t=1647&sid=394077751727d7489724d540eccfd6b2 Thanks quixote, the signal to noise ratio around here is unbearable sometimes but I managed to find your post :) Now would you happen to know what would h...

More transmutation: http://www.i-sis.org.uk/alchemistsDream.php Yasuhiro Iwamura and colleagues at Mitsubishi’s Advanced Technology Research Center and colleagues have taken another approach to nuclear transmutation by concentrating on the direct transmutation of one element into another [10, 11].

Condensed Matter Fusion: Several other groups have confirmed the production of helium-4 correlated with excess heat. But the most spectacular results came from the experiments of Yoshiaki Arata and Yue-Chang Zhang at Osaka University, Japan [10]. Instead of a solid palladium cathode, Arata and Zhang...

Re: EMC2 update

Maybe Alan Boyle can get another interview with Dr. Park? I'll give it a go :wink: Terrific, you have the best track record with EMC2, and I would hope you could tease out a few details when WB-8.1 is finished. Even if all it is - is similar to "Nuanced" results circa WB-7. Or you could do a "Krivi...

What a rude prat. Speak for yourself!! Where did you get your skill-set? Kindergarten? Can you explain to me why fizzics colleges teaches that fusing iron (and heavier elements) takes more energy in than out yet it is clear that proton-Iron fusion has a binding energy excess? How could they get thi...

Rossi has a history of getting energy from doing the improbable. I believe he is continuing in that vein. Speaking of the improbable, would you happen to know why it is that the proton + B-11 reaction product Carbon-12 is unstable and decays rapidly into 3 alphas. (As supposed in the Polywell -pB11...

Out of interest I was running through some of the reaction channels for transition metal elements fusing with a proton (the current hypothesis), using the naturally occurring isotope ratios. (Piantelli has stated previously that the reaction is possible for the transition metals). On a hunch, I chos...
