COLD FUSION CELL TEST DATA


	After reading several articles on cold fusion, I felt this subject needed more investigation.  The components to build a test device are not expensive,  the parts were acquired from the local stores in the area for a cost of about $100.000  [sic] ($100.00?).  Now I had my own cold fusion test ready to go.  Based on  information from internet surfing and cost factors l decided to use good old U.S. nickels as my electrodes.  I silver-soldered the nickels together and mounted them in a plastic kitchen canister from the local Target store.  I pulsed low voltage and amperage current between the electrodes.
	I used 5 nickels each for the anode and cathode in 32 oz of electrolyte made from distilled water and potassium carbonate.  I added brass fitting and plastic hose to vent the highly EXPLOSIVE hydrogen gas to a flash protector bubbler.  This is mandatory or you will have a very nasty explosion.  Hydrogen burns so fast it can shatter nylon and people also.  A blast-protective shield of lexan is highly advised, pack cotton and towels around the reactor for thermal insulation and more blast protection.  Make sure you have no loose or corroded electrical connections in the reactor or it will explode when you bump the reactor,  I have heard about three explosions and a report of two killed, so use caution.  I blew up a flash arrestor and got a bath of water.  If I had not used a flash arrestor I would be deaf, hurt or dead.  I ended up with an ear ache.  My tests indicate a 528.11 to 1708 percent gain in output heat over input heat.
