Slide 16 Takahashi and Kitamura (thanks Akira, Jed et al) https://decibel.ni.com/content/servlet/JiveServlet/download/23750-1-51320/TS 9240%20Status%20of%20CMN%20CF%20LENR%20Research.pdf
Summary: Ni-Cu on zirconia support, long period of gain, hydrogen and deuterium compared for gain. 1) Far better results with hydrogen than deuterium !!!! 2) Up to 2 watts per gram max, compared to Celani's technique which is ten times more 3) Long run showing no sign of drop-off (other than P-in being turned off) 4) Strange Theory of operation involving 4 units Brian Ahern sent them one of his early materials (which they mentioned) and told Takahashi about the copper-nickel on zirconia support (which they did not mention) - and which they had fabricated by a local company, and it was by far their best results. However, Ahern had even better results with another sample (much better than with the copper-nickel on zirconia support (teaser)... and Celani gets much more energy per gram. Lesson: the door is wide open for improvement, but these guys add further credibility to Ahern/Celani/etc ... but the most interesting thing - which has not been well-documented in the past is the side-by-side comparison of hydrogen with deuterium. IMPLICATION - there are 20 years of experiments with palladium-deuterium, most of them using hydrogen as a control. Hydrogen does not work in pure palladium. Deuterium only seems to work in palladium, and surprisingly is much poorer in side-by-side with hydrogen, in Ni-Cu (but still gainful). Most interesting! THERE IS A LESSON HERE ... but damn, I'm not sure exactly what it is ! Jones
