Hi Bob, The "critical volume" idea I proposed was mostly based on the simple observation that in loosely similar experiments using much lower amounts of catalyst material (perhaps a few hundred milligrams at most in the experiments for example reported by Holmlid and sometimes cited here by J

It is hard to separate Mills' theory from Holmlid's work. They are likely to be complementary with both offering important details. One early experiment for a "critical volume" validation could involve the catalytic propensity of reactor itself. IOW - a large volume with NO added catalyst other

Thanks for remembering this experiment from Simon Brink ! The effect is surprisingly large and my bet is that it only works well with 316 grade SS. If so - that would be good evidence for Mills' theory and the importance of the lowest energy catalyst. Nickel alone should not work as well. As you

Jones, is there a link where we could access your monel metal experiments? Years ago, I did a lot of CF experiments using cupronickel in an unusual form. These were successful, but the results were inconsistent for reasons that are obvious when you know my procedure. I am not a scientist, so I h
