The way to detect muons is to interpose shielding between your reactor and the Gamma Spectrometer. As the shielding is increased so will the gamma readings.

Dr. Alexander Parkhomov's Fusion Fission table overview

Dr. Alexander Parkhomov produced a program that looked at all of the stable element isotopes and calculated nucleon exchange reactions and fission reactions that lead to stable products with a net energy yield.

It took 10 days to calculate the more than 500,000 possible outcomes and their respective energy output.

Thankyou to Dr. Parkhomov for this work and making the table available.

Today I acquired a HP 6553a 500 watt power supply for the next test series. It's a real beast, around 25 kg of very high quality in a rack chassis. And it smells good!

I'm waiting for a couple of pre-run "seed" diapads from LION which I'm told are in the mail. I'll add those to around 50 I still have soaking in D2O (just dropped in the tube, no toast-rack), and replace the core thermocouples with plain bolts as used in the original design.

This would be a good time to discuss any other changes you think appropriate for what will still be a "replication" attempt.

Do you have any kind of ground wire on your reactor,and did lion use any grounding ? Seemed to be a big deal back in the day with Rossi everyone always thought it was extra power comeing in. I don't know how it was attatched but he always had an external ground wire hanging on his contraptions. I have brought this up several times with not much response might be worth a try just for more data, mabee a clip you could put on and off. Also after the replication run any chance you are going to play around with it and try some crowd ideas for triggering that is always cool. Thanks for all your work.

Good question. It would also be important to know if there is a RCCB installed in LION’s house.

Also me356 uses a good grounding. At me356 MFMP test when it did not work he wanted to get sure the grounding was working.

FWIW, if the reaction emits high energy charged particles, they can interact with the materials of the apparatus and cause a voltage disturbance. Monitoring the grounding of the apparatus with an oscilloscope could be an idea..

Similar to lightning in volcano eruptions? That area is not grounded well and goes out emitting the extra electrons that would normally interact with the ground state but everything else touching the ground burns like hell! Try wavering a small floursecent light bulb
over the reactor in the dark and see if it flickers. May be why volcanos work very well grounded.

I predict that if this is done, even after switch off and disconnect a signal will be found on the line.
BUT.--------- only if it was a live run.----The Atoms take a while to settle.

A slow-decaying signal would certainly be a good indicator of something interesting going on, especially if it isn't strictly correlated with the operating temperature.

Alan Smith has already received his seed diapads - yours should get there soon.

Hi Alan G,

Maybe put Alan's 15kHz DC chopper between your new PSU and the heater coil?

I believe this is what Lion uses.

Here's a teaser. Enough harmonics for you?

Hi Alan G,

You missed my point which was to answer your question about getting your replication as original as possible.

We still do not have a statement making it clear if Lion used the LFH 15kHz Dc chopper module to drive the heater during the Lion 1 and Lion 2 core creation runs.

Must ask why is it so difficult for Lion or someone else to ask Lion and clarify this issue?

LION please tell us how the heater coils in the Lion 1 and Lion 2 core creation runs were driven?

I get the strong feeling that LION is sort of an intuitive researcher and that the reason he is silent on so many aspects of his runs is that he really doesn't know what he is doing in terms of control systems and electronics.

I would not be surprised if it turns out that the entire LION fuss is over nothing.

As with many details, LION is not entirely clear on the technical parameters. He did confirm to BobG that he has the PWM wired in his system, but wasn't sure if it was "turned up all the way" or what the display on the LFH PWM module showed. Because the power needed to reach the target temperature is around 280 watts from the 350 watt supply, it must have been at least 80% duty cycle. My example shows the waveform and harmonic content for 90% duty cycle, and that is what I will be using for the next test.

Hi Alan G,

Thanks for the update.

You're welcome E48. Your suggestion was a good one.

AlanS, can you confirm this please. It's the first I've heard of LION using this power circuit!

Hi Alan G,

Have asked Alan S to let us know.

Hi Alan,

Point being did Lion use the 15kHz chopper for the Lion 1 and Lion 2 results?

LION can you please answer this question?

As a backup can Alan S and Bob G please ask Lion if he used the 15kHz chopper and report back?

What is the point of trying new ways of loading the diamonds before the actual LION protocol has been dealt with? LION claims at least 2 successful runs (i.e., with excess heat) in a row. There may be more that I don't know about. While I think it most probable that he has nothing, shouldn't his protocol be the one everyone is working on?

Why Lion doesn't make another experiment and publish the temperature/radiometry results so we can be more confident that he has what he claims?

Hi Alain,

Agreed.

2 cores and no temp data. Seems strange that both runs had faulty data or equipment.

I was wondering if anybody has the capability to treat the nickel/diamond pads in an ultrasonic enviroment such as Suhas does for his fuel prep if the ECCO?

when do we get to hear more about this mysterious an totally unhyped d'Oh day?

When I have more time. Interim presentations will be made and published.

So, am I understanding this right? You seem to, pretty much, know what you need to know. At this point, it is just a matter of getting it all together and presenting it to the public. Am I correct?

I have got a LOT together. But there are many aspects that tie into it that I have prepared part presentations for. I may release some of these things simultaneously (if they are complete) or even before.

Most of the main presentation slides are done, but I have some complex animations to make to aid ease of understanding, then I need to present through the slides and edit.

What I might do next week is test the package drop approach first.

Stunning machine. I still have the mouse from it and an Amiga 1200 + a 32 inch CRT to run it through - in a few years I will share the delights of playing old-skool games on it with my kids.

Animations are cool. I recently read an opinion piece that said that scientists should use more animations in papers.

Well - my first animation job was using Lightwave on an Amiga 1000, 24 years ago - it was of a virus infecting a cell and it was the first animation on the Universities intranet - few years later, people in general started to get e-mails.

I would like to try and release one animation as an interactive unity/unreal scene eventually (possibly with mobile version) so that people can play with it. In part, I would like to build it in 3D so I can check certain behavioural aspects.

Another animation is part after effects.

So...was it a success?

CAN has made some great radiation related charts from LION-AG 01, copied here for brevity.

Good spot Anin2012_2014, will have to keep an eye out in future runs

LION has been doing these experiments for a long time now - base on work he did decades ago with new insights coming from recent years of LENR findings.

We are just getting up to speed - I am preparing more material, this experiment is beautiful and I hope we can master it.

Thanks. My guilt right now is that I have about 10-15 presentations in the works and so much insight to share - and this is in addition to 'O Day' (and because / related to it - it is such a mammoth task. Then life gets in the way.

More than anything, I want others to know the inner peace and great positivity that this understanding brings.

Bob: Can we have access to the time/temperature recording of Lion 1 and 2?

If that was possible, LION would have already done it - sadly the data acquisition/SDCard combination failed to maintain a correlated recording of the experiments.

LION-AG 01 (nickel toaster rack supported diapads, LION protocol cookie preparation)
In terms of data quality yes. No discernable excess heat or radiation in

LION-AS 02 (electrolytically loaded Diapad cookies in Lithium Deuteride)
No discernable excess, but some potential increases in ionising radiation during cool-down cycles

2 LION2 reactor ash diapad cookie 'seeds' have been sent to both AG and AS for future attempts, but will probably miss the next cycle in each case.

No one died and no animals were harmed in the testing.

That last part is especially good.

Phase 2 (54 hours high-temperature cycling) of the LION-AG experiment ended at ~05:00 UTC on15 April. The data files for this phase are available at
https://drive.google.com/op... for the temp/power
and
https://drive.google.com/op... for the radiation counts.

No excess heat or radiation above background were seen.

The recording seems to stop at about 284 deg. C. Did you continue to recording the cooling temperature to ambient?
Thanks Alan to you and all people associated to this experiment.
