Re: Transmutations observed from pressure cycling palladium
#2Tests showing similar results were presented at the 2012 LENR conference, and probably before.
I really wish they hadn’t been discounted as erroneous without attempts to replicate by the larger scientific community. We’d be much farther along by now, in capturing this extremely interesting result!

#3So cold fusion was real after all? They've got both transmutation of elements and excess heat.

#4Detecting the presence of these transmuted elements should be much easier to replicate than trying to characterize "excess" heat, right? And the next step would be to try and find out what isotope of the transmuted elements was? Anyone know how much deuterium costs?

But what about a control experiment? How about letting the PdAg sit in a vacuum for the same amount of time under similar conditions and see what develops? How do they rule out contamination, such as by cosmic rays?

#6The experiment took place over several months which increases the chances of contamination.

If I read the abstract right, they did in fact have a control. They had the exact same palladium/silver mix in it, but didn't cycle D2, H2, or He in and out. It wound up with much fewer of the surprising elements.

#9The anomalous heating is very difficult to measure and it is not going to convince anyone.
The new elements they got, are much more interesting. The problem is that:
* Cooper and Zinc that are the parts of brass.
* Iron, Chrome and Manganese that are common in stainless steel.
So the most simple explanation is contamination from the surrounding vessel and plumbing.
It is also very strange that they didn't get Cadmium and Indium that are the direct product of fusion of Palladium and Silver with Hydrogen, Deuterium and Helium. It is like if there was a fusion and then the new atom split into smaller atoms like all the ones I listed before. It is strange.

And all the newly found elements are elements that you'd find in a gas regulator and are at levels close to detection limit. It's all so reminiscent of polywater.
