Light Water and Nickel

I spoke with M. Srinivasan at a reception at the Spring 2010 ACS meeting. I told him I was working on a replication of Tadahiko Mizuno's Plasma Electrolysis experiments. He remembered them. I really liked his attitude; he was very positive. He told me Nickel seems to work well with light water, whereas with heavy water, Palladium loads Deuterium well into the metal lattice. He said something to the effect of, "Try it out. Don't be afraid to make mistakes!" I was very inspired by his positive attitude.

My favorite presentations at the New Energy Technology symposium were those of Dr. Urutskoev and Dr. McKubre. I am interested in Urutskoev's work because he is showing generation of excess Hydrogen by discharging high-voltage capacitors through Titanium foils. He gave me his card; when I understand his work better, I will write to him and post an illumination of his research. McKubre gave a very clear presentation about the necessity of loading the metal with Deuterium at, if I remember correctly, at least 95% ratio of Deuterons to metal atoms. He also emphasized the importance of repeatedly loading and unloading the metal.

The meeting was very educational, and I highly recommend attending the next one Jan Marwan organizes. Thank you Dr. Marwan!
