Cold Fusion Enigma, Secrets Remain--- Fleischmann Pons III

As I wrote earlier today, I wanted to study paramagnetism.  I thought that I may connect this up with BECNF, but instead of nickel, using palladium instead.  It occurred to me that an experiment might be set up, which tests the idea that transmutations could occur through beta decays, as indicated in a previous post.

As you can see, there are multiple links to other web pages.  I'd like to keep a record of where I've been today, so I'll be able to backtrack if I want to.

Naturally, I don't want to reinvent the wheel, so I began looking at what has already been done.  I consulted the video, Fire From Water, which is on the paranormaltvchannel YouTube channel.  I made several notes, and by the way, I've posted about this video before.  Reinventing the wheel happens sometimes anyway.

I have learned a few things from that video, so it is well worth watching over and over.  Here is what I was looking for:  Les Case's activated carbon catalyst for his palladium cold fusion device.  Unfortunately, Case died in 2010.  His device was checked by McKubre, who should be a familiar name for cold fusioneers.

There is also a mention in the video of CETI Patterson Power Cell.   It has nickel as well as palladium in it.

Now, Case's idea is more heat than electrolysis, as with Pons and Fleischmann's device.  It is rather like Rossi's device, which uses a catalyst with heat.

The trouble with Yeoung Kim's Bose Einstein condensate, is that it requires the property of paramagnetism, which is the case with palladium, but an electric current may negate that.  A way around that seems to have been to saturate the palladium with deuterium, then turn that off and use a catalyst plus heat to induce a cold fusion reaction.  Heat combined with a catalyst can bring about the conditions for a BECNF type reaction. Or so I am postulating here.  

Rossi's device doesn't use deuterium though.   Pons and Fleischman's did.  P&F claimed fusion of deuterium, but that is not the case with Rossi's device.  There are differences, but there are similarities.
