New Russian Parkhomov/E-Cat Replication Claim: COP over 3 at 1347C (Update: English translation from Peter Gluck)

Thanks to Sanjeev for sharing about a new report from a group of Russian researchers that has just emerged.

Everything is in Russian, of course, so I feel at quite a disadvantage, but I decided it would be best to post the article here and let everyone work on figuring it all out together.

A Russian-speaking friend has given me this summmary:

“”Looks like another replication effort. claims COP>3 at 1347C. Another claim is that excess heat can be obtained at lower temps (800-900C) using thin-wall reactor (0.2 mm) comparing to thick-wall reactor. The mode of thermogeneration for the reactor with thick walls can be initialized at the temperature of 1350 C.”

This is the raw translation of the report published this morning at the official Russian site. I ask those colleagues who see better than me and are good in IT to try to combine my text with the Figures etc. that are
here:

A group of Moscowite researchers, using a reactor of stainless steel with fuel of nickel and lithium aluminum hydride have obtained excess heat release (COP>3)
at a temperature

I think this paper is especuially imporatnt due to revealing a procedure of previous force hydrogenation of nickel.

TEXT

Study of the working regimes (modes) of the Ni-H thermogenerator

Lenz@Co Lab Group of researchers from Moscow

Mode of preparation for the regime of increased thermogeneration.

In part 1 it is described the process of preparation for the reaction by sequential cyclic “hydrogenations” of the nickel at temperatures of ~ 450 C above the room temperature. Characteristic time of a cycle is 72 minutes, fig 3.

In part 3 the saturation of nickel with hydrogen is performed by repeated heating during 10 hours to T= 1150 C, It is shown that the regime of hydrogenation is starting at temperatures higher than 200 C.

It exists a process of inverse hydrogenation of nickel. At room temperature this leads to the decrease of the COP from ~2.4 to 1.6… 1.2 see 3’

Conclusion: for preparation to the mode of increased thermal generation it is necessary at the lower limit one times to perform a hydrogenation cycle of nickel for 3-5 hours at a temperature of ~ 500 C.or to use the procedure described in 3’

The process of initializing the mode of increased thermogeneration

The process of initialization is attained by a jump of temperature or pressure, Fig. 4 or Fig. 5 respectively in 1’.

For the evaluation of the parameters of the modification of the temperature of the fuel mixture, necessary for the initialization of the regime of thermogeneration it was built a hermetically closed reactor from a tube of nickel having thin walls (0.2 mm)

Features of the construction and mode of construction of the Parkhomov type reactor.

The construction and technology of building the ceramic reactor is described in 2’ and 4’. It is important to mention that the ceramic tube should be gas-tight. It can be remarked that during the process of hardening of the cementing composition it can take place the process of hydrogenation of the nickel in the reactor. The process of activation of the lithium aluminum hydride must be done in a hermetically closed reactor.

Conversion to the mode of thermogeneration (hours)

The interval 120 – 200 deg. Is almost 2 hours, then heating to 600 C approx. 2.5 hours. In the zone of 750C it is seen a critical point for steel, its heat capacity is increasing.

Conclusions

The initializing of the regime of thermogeneration for the reactor with thin walls (0.2 mm) can take place already at 800-900 C

The rate of the temperature in the heater (air) for initialization of the mode of thermogenaration can be greater than 0.5 deg/second.

The mode of thermogeneration for the reactor with thin walls

Can be initialized at the temperature of 1350 C.

Estimation of COP (1347C) >3
