- If I understand what Dr. Ying is saying, Pd may not be the best medium for
- verifying his theory. The probability for forming a virtual He atom
- should increase with decreasing distance between atoms (inverse square
- probability?).
-
- With 1:1 Pd:D loading, atomic separation is about 1.7 angstroms, per one of
- (?Frank Close?)'s postings.
-
- Atomic separation of D2 should be roughly the same as for H2, or about 0.74
- angstroms.
-
- Hence, in liquified D2, the probability for fusion should be at least 2
- times greater than it is for a PdD cell, all other factors being equal (
- size of cell, etc.).
-
- The experiment:
-
- Two identical dewars, each having an equal amount of D2.
-
- Two (almost) identical pieces of material, one radioactive, the other inert
- The radioactive material should be whatever Dr. Ying uses, with very low
- output power.
-
- The dewars should be sized/filled so that most of the decay particles/
- gammas are absorbed by the D2, which probably means that some sort of net
- should be placed in each dewar to keep the material suspended above the
- bottom (done for both so the experiments are as identical as possible).
-
- Lower both pieces of material into their respective dewars at the same time
- , and note the amount of time for a given amount of D2 evaporation (should
- be extremely high at first, if the material used is near room temperature).
-
- Follow up experiments:
-
- 1) Switch dewars, and repeat.
-
- 2) Place a small resistive device in one or both filled dewars, apply
- power equivalent to that supplied by the radioactive material, correlate
- results to the above experiments.
-
- 3) Perform all of the above with H2 instead of D2. Correlate to D2
- experiments.
-
- Anyone willing to perform such experiments should obviously be very
- cautious, ensuring that the experiments are performed where ventilation is
- adequate to the task, etc.
-
- If the above experiments show no signs of anomolous heat, but Dr. Ying's
- experiments do, then the Pd has more to do with enhancing the virtual He
- probability than I'm guessing it does.
