I did call your statement that "Mills was a moving target" rubbish. Mills was simply trying to help you with an experiment that he did not recommend. 2. I cannot explain your result (2). I'll add it to the list of things that I don't understand. For what it is worth, I recommend, once again, that you not use a recombiner. I cite the following reasons: 1. The danger of explosion. 2. It is harder to get the excess heat. Maybe it is contamination. Maybe it is H2 pressure. There may be other reasons. Mills has not spent much time or effort on recombiners. 3. If you get 50% excess heat with a recombiner you will be surprised that people will still not believe it. They will say that it is a chemical reaction, heat transfer problems, cosmic ray interactions, and god knows what all. 4. The heat value of the recombination process is small compared to the excess heat that can be produced. The proposals (from the net and from private communications from net readers) for demonstration of this process are under consideration by HydroCatalysis Power Corporation and Thermacore. My guess is that it will not happen for a month or two. At which time, the demo will be so convincing that there will be no question of the energy producing potential of this process. A note to Dick Blue. Keep your dust bin handy. Best regards, John Farrell Franklin & Marshall College
