No. Remember, he QUENCHES the reaction by increasing the coolant flow and cutting the external heat supply.

OK, I'm a moron, because I thought I read he increased the heat to slow the reaction. I'll try to find what made me think that.

It makes perfect sense to keep the heater on and at idle, you increase the heat to increase the reaction if it lags so you're not starting it cold which takes time, you increase the water flow to decrease the reaction, now that makes perfect sense.

The hydrogen is definitely a slow reaction. I watched two videos during lunch and it showed a fat-cat that they had just added 3 grams of H2 which actually seems to be a lot of hydrogen considering it's weight and I'm way to lazy to attach a volume to that. Then they shut it off. It seems that it runs fine and then they top it off again so I don't know how much of a fine control they need for the H2.

But there needs to be a bit of a turn-around in management thinking on the value of R&D, or we will be in a world of hurt.

I've worked for two startups where although they paid well, the big payoff was the stocks since we put in 12 to 16 hours days because we believed in the product and it did pay off. Where are the VCs for this kind of research? The CEOs for both of the companies I worked for got big VC dollars after they did the proof of concept so what's the deal? Everyone used to talk about 'Microsoft millionaires', if this technology pays off were talking about LENR billionaires. Especially if Facebook is worth billions which I don't understand since I don't use Facebook. Are we becoming more narcissistic or what; what is Facebook selling?

I actually made it home early.

I drove to work today and there's something highly motivating about driving a barely legal street car/ race car where you can take every up-shift at over 8,000 RMPs, with the over rev buzzer going off every shift. It's amazing what an engine with three moving parts can do with a little work.

Now I've got time and energy to get to the articles I was going to wait for this weekend. I forgot to print out the ICCF15 at work utilizing their laser printer instead of my ink jet which is fine for one page, not so good for 32.

"OK, I'm a moron, because I thought I read he increased the heat to slow the reaction. I'll try to find what made me think that."

I think some comment to that effect surfaced at some point, and some naysayers tried to make a big deal of it, but I think that had to have been a translation error, as it contradicts the other two known facts (i.e. supply heat to "start up", extract heat to "shut down").
