Some of the people making these devices have gotten 5X the energy they put in. It is fickle, like cold fusion, which also worked but not at any level that was usable.
Many of the low tech home experiments have two ceramic tubes, one with the nickel hydrogen power and the other with some kind inert stuff. Both tubes are wrapped with the same amount of nichrome wire and both connected to the same input voltage. Then they run them for days and use an infra red thermometer. The one with the nickel powder is hotter. Some of them put a thermocouple on both tubes to measure how much hotter one is. The more sophisticated experimenters actually measure the heat energy is produced, but that is harder to do. Some just estimate the heat energy by emissivity.

I think on LENR, the physicists are saying, "Yes you have surplus heat, but for God's sake stop calling in 'nuclear'!" I know the Rossi LENR device needed electrical input to run a resistive heater. I think I'm seeing that the surplus heat is significant, but does anyone say how big the surplus is? ------ Original Message ------ From: [email protected] To: "Animal Farm" <[email protected]> Sent: 1/6/2017 10:55:23 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT LENR Lotsa guys won’t believe this.

Researchers at SRI conducted a series of third-party tests of Brillouin Energy’s IPB HHT™ LENR reactor test systems from March to December 2016. Dr. Francis Tanzella, principal investigator and Manager of the Low Energy Nuclear Reactions Program, was assigned to SRI’s testing of Brillouin Energy’s LENR systems and conducted all of the third-party validation work. In its Interim Progress Report, SRI summarizes its extensive testing of five identical Brillouin Energy metallic reactor cores, which produced the same over-unity controlled heat outputs, turning the reaction heat on and off repeatedly. "Brillouin Energy appears to have achieved its most groundbreaking test results to-date," the Report states. Data from the SRI International test runs show LENR heat outputs up to several watts were repeatedly produced from positive coefficients of performance (COPs) in the range of 1.2X to 1.45X. The Report continues that LENR heat was independently validated with positive COPs is significant: “The LENR coefficients of performance (COPs) may be considered low and small scale however, it would be a mistake to discount them, in light of the accuracy of their calorimetry, the consistent repeatability of their production, their controllability, and the reproducibility and refinement of their manufacturing techniques, specifications, and components, all leading to the same repeated results. Moreover, the transportability of the system is another remarkable achievement”. “By using standard industrial manufacturing processes for our reactor test systems, we have identified an engineering pathway for manufacturing Brillouin Energy’s IPB HHT™ reactor prototypes,” said Robert Godes, Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder of Brillouin Energy Corp. In 2017, Brillouin Energy is continuing its work with SRI International in the testing process to help it to engineer and develop its IPB HHT™ reactor test systems, with the goal of evolving them towards LENR prototype equipment systems, which potentially may generate commercial scale LENR Heat on demand for industrially useful applications. We are on the cusp of a new era of cheap, abundant and reliable power from LENR technologies, at a time when the United States and many other countries are re-defining their commitments to mitigate the impacts from climate change, said Robert W. George, Chief Executive Officer, Brillouin Energy. Brillouin Energy’s LENR technology includes a proprietary method of electrical stimulation of nickel-metal conductors using its Q-Pulse™ control system. The process stimulates the system to produce LENR reactions, which generate excess heat and helium. The excess heat produced is a product of hydrogen and a nickel-metal catalyst. The Q-Pulse™ control system stimulation is the key to maintaining the reaction. Other than the heat output, there are no (zero) toxic or CO2 emissions of any kind.
